Description by Jan Kara:
"A lot of older filesystems don't properly flush volatile disk caches
on fsync(2) which can lead to loss of fsynced data after power failure.This patch makes generic_file_fsync() issue proper cache flush to fix the
problem. Sysadmin can use /sys/devices/.../cache_type to tell the system
it should not send the cache flush."[akpm@linux-foundation.org: nuke ifdef]

Just the flags; only NFS cares even about that, but there are
legitimate uses for such argument. And getting rid of that

of methods (at least), so let's leave that alone for now...Signed-off-by: Al Viro

This allows comparing hash and len in one operation on 64-bit
architectures. Right now only __d_lookup_rcu() takes advantage of this,
since that is the case we care most about.The use of anonymous struct/unions hides the alternate 64-bit approach
from most users, the exception being a few cases where we initialize a
'struct qstr' with a static initializer. This makes the problematic
cases use a new QSTR_INIT() helper function for that (but initializing
just the name pointer with a "{ .name = xyzzy }" initializer remains
valid, as does just copying another qstr structure).Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

d_genocide() does _not_ evict dentries; it just removes extra ref
pinning each of those. Normally it's followed by shrinking the
tree (it's done just before generic_shutdown_super() by kill_litter_super()),
but in case of simple_fill_super() nothing of that kind will follow.
Just do shrink_dcache_parent() manually.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Pull cleanup of fs/ and lib/ users of module.h from Paul Gortmaker:
"Fix up files in fs/ and lib/ dirs to only use module.h if they really
need it.These are trivial in scope vs the work done previously. We now have
things where any few remaining cleanups can be farmed out to arch or
subsystem maintainers, and I have done so when possible. What is
remaining here represents the bits that don't clearly lie within a
single arch/subsystem boundary, like the fs dir and the lib dir.Some duplicate includes arising from overlapping fixes from
independent subsystem maintainer submissions are also quashed."Fix up trivial conflicts due to clashes with other include file cleanups
(including some due to the previous bug.h cleanup pull).* tag 'module-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:
lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible
fs: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible
includecheck: delete any duplicate instances of module.h

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.

New helper (non-exported, fs/internal.h-only): __d_alloc(sb, name).
Allocates dentry, sets its ->d_sb to given superblock and sets
->d_op accordingly. Old d_alloc(NULL, name) callers are converted
to that (all of them know what superblock they want). d_alloc()
itself is left only for parent != NULl case; uses __d_alloc(),
inserts result into the list of parent's children.Note that now ->d_sb is assign-once and never NULL *and*
->d_parent is never NULL either.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Assume that /sys/kernel/debug/dummy64 is debugfs file created by
debugfs_create_x64().# cd /sys/kernel/debug
# echo 0x1234567812345678 > dummy64
# cat dummy64
0x0000000012345678# echo 0x80000000 > dummy64
# cat dummy64
0xffffffff80000000A value larger than INT_MAX cannot be written to the debugfs file created
by debugfs_create_u64 or debugfs_create_x64 on 32bit machine. Because
simple_attr_write() uses simple_strtol() for the conversion.To fix this, use simple_strtoll() instead.

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

dcache_lock no longer protects anything. remove it.
Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

Protect d_subdirs and d_child with d_lock, except in filesystems that aren't
using dcache_lock for these anyway (eg. using i_mutex).Note: if we change the locking rule in future so that ->d_child protection is
provided only with ->d_parent->d_lock, it may allow us to reduce some locking.
But it would be an exception to an otherwise regular locking scheme, so we'd
have to see some good results. Probably not worthwhile.Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching
advise, more like ->drop_inode. Require it to be constant and idempotent,
and not take d_lock. This is how all existing filesystems use the callback
anyway.This makes fine grained dentry locking of dput and dentry lru scanning
much simpler.Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

generic_check_addressable() erroneously shifts pages down by a block

-
As part of adding support for OCFS2 to mount huge volumes, we need to
check that the sector_t and page cache of the system are capable of
addressing the entire volume.An identical check already appears in ext3 and ext4. This patch moves
the addressability check into its own function in fs/libfs.c and
modifies ext3 and ext4 to invoke it.[Edited to -EINVAL instead of BUG_ON() for bad blocksize_bits -- Joel]

Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in ->setattr by adding
those checks to inode_change_ok. Also clean up and document inode_change_ok
to make this obvious.As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and
simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error. This
simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize
almost everywhere. Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark
ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious.Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an
audit for its removal anyway.Note: setattr code in ecryptfs doesn't call inode_change_ok at all and
needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

With the new truncate sequence every filesystem that wants to support file
size changes on disk needs to implement its own ->setattr. So instead
of calling inode_setattr which supports size changes call into a simple
method that doesn't support this. simple_setattr is almost what we
want except that it does not mark the inode dirty after changes. Given
that marking the inode dirty is a no-op for the simple in-memory filesystems
that use simple_setattr currently just add the mark_inode_dirty call.Also add a WARN_ON for the presence of a truncate method to simple_setattr
to catch new instances of it during the transition period.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig
