On file systems which don't support sparse files, Ocfs2_map_page_blocks()
was reading blocks on appending writes. This caused write performance to
suffer dramatically. Fix this by detecting an appending write on a nonsparse
fs and skipping the read.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh
-
We're missing a meta data commit for extending sync writes. In thoery, write
could return with the meta data required to read the data uncommitted to
disk. Fix that by detecting an allocating write and forcing a journal commit
in the sync case.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh

Do this to avoid a theoretical (I haven't seen this in practice) race where
the downconvert thread might drop the dentry lock, allowing a remote unlink
to proceed before dropping the inode locks. This could bounce access to the
orphan dir between nodes.There doesn't seem to be a need to do the same in ocfs2_dentry_iput() as
that's never called for the last ref drop from the downconvert thread.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh
-
If we have not yet created a cluster lock, ocfs2_cluster_lock() will
first create it at NLMODE, and then convert the lock to either PRMODE or
EXMODE (whichever is requested).Change ocfs2_cluster_lock() to just create the lock at the initially
requested level. ocfs2_locking_ast() handles this case fine, so the only
update required was in setup of locking state. This should reduce the number
of network messages required for a new lock by one, providing an incremental
performance enhancement.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ericvh/v9fs:
9p: add missing end-of-options record for trans_fd
9p: return NULL when trans not found
9p: use copy of the options value instead of original
9p: fix memory leak in v9fs_get_sb -
The list of options that the fd transport accepts is missing end-of-options
marker. This patch adds it.Signed-off-by: Latchesar Ionkov

v9fs_match_trans function returns arbitrary transport module instead of NULL
when the requested transport is not registered. This patch modifies the
function to return NULL in that case.Signed-off-by: Latchesar Ionkov
Acked-by: Eric Van Hensbergen -
v9fs_parse_options function uses strsep which modifies the value of the
v9ses->options field. That modified value is later passed to the function
that creates the transport potentially making the transport creation
function to fail.This patch creates a copy of v9ses->option field that v9fs_parse_options
function uses instead of the original value.Signed-off-by: Latchesar Ionkov

commit 4ae3f847e49e3787eca91bced31f8fd328d50496 ("md: raid5: fix
clearing of biofill operations") did not get applied correctly,
presumably due to substantial similarities between handle_stripe5 and
handle_stripe6.This patch moves the chunk of new code from handle_stripe6 (where it isn't

local_ops.txt."Please add a bit more detail. If DaveM is correct (he normally is), then
