  • Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
    in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
    the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some
    file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
    ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
    sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
    individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.
    Thanks,

  • flush_scheduled_work() is going away. afs needs to make sure all the
    works it has queued have finished before being unloaded and there can
    be arbitrary number of pending works. Add afs_wq and use it as the
    flush domain instead of the system workqueue.

    Also, convert cancel_delayed_work() + flush_scheduled_work() to
    cancel_delayed_work_sync() in afs_mntpt_kill_timer().

  • Implement the ability for the root directory of a mounted AFS filesystem to
    accept lookups of arbitrary directory names, to interpet the names as the names
    of cells, to look the cell names up in the DNS for AFSDB records and to mount
    the root.cell volume of the nominated cell on the pseudo-directory created by
    lookup.

    This facility is requested by passing:

    -o autocell

    to the mountpoint for which this is desired, usually the /afs mount.

    To use this facility, a DNS upcall program is required for AFSDB records. This
    can be obtained from:

    http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/afs/dns.afsdb.c

    It should be compiled with -lresolv and -lkeyutils and installed as, say:

    /usr/sbin/dns.afsdb

    Then the following line needs to be added to /sbin/request-key.conf:

    create dns_resolver afsdb:* * /usr/sbin/dns.afsdb %k

    This can be tested by mounting AFS, say:

    insmod dns_resolver.ko
    insmod af-rxrpc.ko
    insmod kafs.ko rootcell=grand.central.org
    mount -t afs "#grand.central.org:root.cell." /afs -o autocell

    and doing:

    ls /afs/grand.central.org/

    which should show:

    archive/ cvs/ doc/ local/ project/ service/ software/ user/ www/

    if it works.

  • Don't put struct file on the stack as it takes up quite a lot of space
    and violates lifetime rules for struct file.

    Rather than calling afs_readpage() indirectly from the directory routines by
    way of read_mapping_page(), split afs_readpage() to have afs_page_filler()
    that's given a key instead of a file and call read_cache_page(), specifying the
    new function directly. Use it in afs_readpages() as well.

    Also make use of this in afs_mntpt_check_symlink() too for the same reason.

  • Similar to the fsync issue fixed a while ago in commit
    2daea67e966dc0c42067ebea015ddac6834cef88 we need to write for data to
    actually hit the disk before writing out the metadata to guarantee
    data integrity for filesystems that modify the inode in the data I/O
    completion path. Currently XFS and NFS handle this manually, and AFS
    has a write_inode method that does nothing but waiting for data, while
    others are possibly missing out on this.

    Fortunately this change has a lot less impact than the fsync change
    as none of the write_inode methods starts data writeout of any form
    by itself.

  • First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
    function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
    mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

    This patch
    a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
    b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
    c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
    d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
    e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
    getting them indirectly

    Net result is:
    a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
    they don't need sched.h
    b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
    on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
    after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

    Cross-compile tested on

    all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
    alpha alpha-up

  • Implement support for writing to regular AFS files, including:

    (1) write

    (2) truncate

    (3) fsync, fdatasync

    (4) chmod, chown, chgrp, utime.

    AFS writeback attempts to batch writes into as chunks as large as it can manage
    up to the point that it writes back 65535 pages in one chunk or it meets a
    locked page.

    Furthermore, if a page has been written to using a particular key, then should
    another write to that page use some other key, the first write will be flushed
    before the second is allowed to take place. If the first write fails due to a
    security error, then the page will be scrapped and reread before the second
    write takes place.

    If a page is dirty and the callback on it is broken by the server, then the
    dirty data is not discarded (same behaviour as NFS).

    Shared-writable mappings are not supported by this patch.

    (2) Correctly handle the AFS server returning a zero-length read.

    (3) Split out data zapping calls into one function (afs_zap_data).

    (4) Rename some afs_file_*() functions to afs_*() where they apply to
    non-regular files too.

    (5) Be consistent about the presentation of volume ID:vnode ID in debugging
    output.

    ETH_ALEN in others, pass a pointer instead and pass the array size
    through so that we can actually check it.

    (2) The client's UUID.

    (3) The extended capabilities of the client, for which the only current one
    is unified error mapping (abort code interpretation).

    To support this, the patch adds the following routines to AFS:

    (1) A function to iterate through all the network interfaces using RTNETLINK
    to extract IPv4 addresses and MTUs.

    (2) A function to iterate through all the network interfaces using RTNETLINK
    to pull out the MAC address of the lowest index interface to use in UUID
    construction.
