Seeing that just about every destructor got that INIT_LIST_HEAD() copied into
it, there is no point whatsoever keeping this INIT_LIST_HEAD in inode_init_once();
the cost of taking it into inode_init_always() will be negligible for pipes
and sockets and negative for everything else. Not to mention the removal of
boilerplate code from ->destroy_inode() instances...Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging,
and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that.
So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page().Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry
flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them.
This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup
situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we
have d_op but not the particular operation.Patched with:
git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i

RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
page lock to follow page->mapping.The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

Change d_hash so it may be called from lock-free RCU lookups. See similar
patch for d_compare for details.For in-tree filesystems, this is just a mechanical change.

No need to mark the superblock as dirty in sysv_remount, synchronize
it instead (only if mounting R/O).I did not find any docs about this file-system, and I have no possibility
to test my changes. Thus, this is untested. I see other issues in sysv,
e.g., why sysv_sync_fs writes only in the FSTYPE_SYSV4 case? However,
it marks its SB bh's dirty for all types, and does not wait for them
ever. With zero docs I'm unable to fix this.Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

Replace inode_setattr with opencoded variants of it in all callers. This
moves the remaining call to vmtruncate into the filesystem methods where it
can be replaced with the proper truncate sequence.In a few cases it was obvious that we would never end up calling vmtruncate
so it was left out in the opencoded variant:spufs: explicitly checks for ATTR_SIZE earlier
btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier
ufs: contains an opencoded simple_seattr + truncate that sets the filesize just aboveIn addition to that ncpfs called inode_setattr with handcrafted iattrs,
which allowed to trim down the opencoded variant.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Split up the block_write_begin implementation - __block_write_begin is a new
trivial wrapper for block_prepare_write that always takes an already
allocated page and can be either called from block_write_begin or filesystem
code that already has a page allocated. Remove the handling of already
allocated pages from block_write_begin after switching all callers that
do it to __block_write_begin.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig
Signed-off-by: Al Viro -
For filesystem that implement directories in pagecache we call
block_write_begin with an already allocated page for this code, while the
normal regular file write path uses the default block_write_begin behaviour.Get rid of the __foofs_write_begin helper and opencode the normal write_begin
call in foofs_write_begin, while adding a new foofs_prepare_chunk helper for
the directory code. The added benefit is that foofs_prepare_chunk has
a much saner calling convention.Note that the interruptible flag passed into block_write_begin is always
ignored if we already pass in a page (see next patch for details), and
we never were doing truncations of exessive blocks for this case either so we
can switch directly to block_write_begin_newtrunc.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently.
The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called
simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with,
the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync
which can lead to some confusion.This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync
to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used
with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious
what to expect. In addition add some documentation for both methods.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

->write_super
* ext2 - uses BKL in ext2_write_super and has internal calls without s_lock
* reiserfs - no other uses of s_lock as has reiserfs_write_lock (BKL) in
->write_super
* xfs - no other uses of s_lock and uses internal lock (buffer lock on
superblock buffer) to serialize ->write_super. Also xfs_fs_write_super
