sg_miter_start() is currently unaware of the direction of the copy
process (to or from the scatter list). It is important to know the
direction because the page has to be flushed in case the data written
is seen on a different mapping in user land on cache incoherent
architectures.Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior

Use kernel_text_address() for checking probe address instead of
__kernel_text_address(), because __kernel_text_address() returns true

Commit d01730d74d2b0155da50d44555001706294014f7 didn't completely fix
the problem since we still take dqio_mutex and i_mutex in the wrong
order. Move taking of i_mutex further down (luckily it's needed only
for updating inode flags) below where dqio_mutex is taken.Tested-by: Valdis Kletnieks

VAT inode is located in the last block recorded block of the medium. When the
drive errorneously reports number of recorded blocks, we failed to load the VAT
inode and thus mount the medium. This patch makes kernel try to read VAT inode
from the last block of the device if it is different from the last recorded
block.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

The semaphore used by the async caching threads can prevent a
transaction commit, which can make the FS appear to stall. This
releases the semaphore more often when a transaction commit is
in progress.Signed-off-by: Chris Mason

The async block group caching code uses the commit_root pointer
to get a stable version of the extent allocation tree for scanning.
This copy of the tree root isn't going to change and it significantly
reduces the complexity of the scanning code.During a commit, we have a loop where we update the extent allocation
tree root. We need to loop because updating the root pointer in
the tree of tree roots may allocate blocks which may change the
extent allocation tree.Right now the commit_root pointer is changed inside this loop. It
is more correct to change the commit_root pointer only after all the
looping is done.Signed-off-by: Yan Zheng

When a file is deleted from a gfs2 filesystem on one node, a dcache
entry for it may still exist on other nodes in the cluster. If this
happens, gfs2 will be unable to free this file on disk. Because of this,
it's possible to have a gfs2 filesystem with no files on it and no free
space. With this patch, when a node receives a callback notifying it
that the file is being deleted on another node, it schedules a new
workqueue thread to remove the file's dcache entry.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski

Since both linked and unlinked inodes are counted by rgd->rd_dinodes, It
makes no sense to count them with the used data blocks (first check that
I changed), it makes sense to count them with the linked inodes (second
check), and it makes no sense to care if there are more unlinked inodes
than linked ones. This fixes these errors.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski

GFS2 was placing far too many glocks on the reclaim list that were not good
candidates for freeing up from cache. These locks would sit there and
repeatedly get scanned to see if they could be reclaimed, wasting a lot
of time when there was memory pressure. This fix does more checks on the
locks to see if they are actually likely to be removable from cache.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski

When searching for unlinked, but still allocated inodes during block
allocation, avoid the block relating to the inode that is doing the
allocation. This fixes a hang caused when an unlinked, but still
open, inode tries to allocate some more blocks and lands up
finding itself during the search for deallocatable inodes.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

It is possible for gfs2_shrink_glock_memory() to check a glock for
demotion
that's in the process of being freed by gfs2_glock_put(). In this case,
gfs2_shrink_glock_memory() will acquire a new reference to this glock,
and
then try to free the glock itself when it drops the refernce. To solve
this, gfs2_shrink_glock_memory() just needs to check if the glock is in
the process of being freed, and if so skip it without ever unlocking the
lru_lock.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski

GFS2 wasn't syncing its statfs info on grows. This causes a problem
when you grow the filesystem on multiple nodes. GFS2 would calculate
the new space based on the resource groups (which are always current),
and then assume that the filesystem had grown the from the existing
statfs size. If you grew the filesystem on two different nodes in a
short time, the second node wouldn't see the statfs size change from the
first node, and would assume that it was grown by a larger amount than
it was. When all these changes were synced out, the total fileystem
size would be incorrect (the first grow would be counted twice).This patch syncs makes GFS2 read in the statfs changes from disk before
a grow, and write them out after the grow, while the master statfs inode
is locked.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski

This patch removes some of the special cases that the shrinker
was trying to deal with. As a result we leave fewer items on
the list and none at all which cannot be demoted. This makes
the list scanning more efficient and solves some issues seen
with large numbers of inodes.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

Sometimes (e.g. when there are no UEMs attached to a board)
fsl_pq_mdio_find_free() fails to find a spare address for a TBI PHY,
this is because get_phy_id() returns bogus 0x0000ffff values
(0xffffffff is expected), and therefore mdio bus probing fails with
the following message:fsl-pq_mdio: probe of e0082120.mdio failed with error -16
And obviously ethernet doesn't work after this.
This patch solves the problem by adding tbi-phy node into mdio node,
so that we won't scan for spare addresses, we'll just use a fixed one.Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov

Linux isn't able to detect link changes on ethernet ports that were
used by U-Boot. This is because U-Boot wrongly clears interrupt
polarity bit (INTPOL, 0x400) in the extended status register (EXT_SR,
0x1b) of Marvell PHYs.There is no easy way for PHY drivers to know IRQ line polarity (we
could extract it from the device tree and pass it to phydevs, but
that'll be quite a lot of work), so for now just reset the PHYs to
their default states.Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov

In switch_mmu_context() if we call steal_context_smp() to get a context
to use we shouldn't fall through and than call steal_context_up(). Doing
so can be problematic in that the 'mm' that steal_context_up() ends up
using will not get marked dirty in the stale_map[] for other CPUs that
might have used that mm. Thus we could end up with stale TLB entries in
the other CPUs that can cause all kinda of havoc.Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala
