c63c7b0513 NFS: Fix a race when doing NFS write coalescing
Currently we do write coalescing in a very inefficient manner: one pass in
generic_writepages() in order to lock the pages for writing, then one pass
in nfs_flush_mapping() and/or nfs_sync_mapping_wait() in order to gather
the locked pages for coalescing into RPC requests of size "wsize".

In fact, it turns out there is actually a deadlock possible here since we
only start I/O on the second pass. If the user signals the process while
we're in nfs_sync_mapping_wait(), for instance, then we may exit before
starting I/O on all the requests that have been queued up.

5972511b77 [BLOCK] Don't pin lots of memory in mempools
Currently we scale the mempool sizes depending on memory installed
in the machine, except for the bio pool itself which sits at a fixed
256 entry pre-allocation.

There's really no point in "optimizing" this OOM path, we just need
enough preallocated to make progress. A single unit is enough, lets
scale it down to 2 just to be on the safe side.

This patch saves ~150kb of pinned kernel memory on a 32-bit box.

057f6c019f security: prevent permission checking of file removal via sysfs_remove_group()
Prevent permission checking from being performed when the kernel wants to
unconditionally remove a sysfs group, by introducing an kernel-only variant
of lookup_one_len(), lookup_one_len_kern().

Additionally, as sysfs_remove_group() does not check the return value of
the lookup before using it, a BUG_ON has been added to pinpoint the cause
of any problems potentially caused by this (and as a form of annotation).

8341897882 ocfs2: Cache extent records
The extent map code was ripped out earlier because of an inability to deal
with holes. This patch adds back a simpler caching scheme requiring far less
code.

Our old extent map caching was designed back when meta data block caching in
Ocfs2 didn't work very well, resulting in many disk reads. These days our
metadata caching is much better, resulting in no un-necessary disk reads. As
a result, extent caching doesn't have to be as fancy, nor does it have to
cache as many extents. Keeping the last 3 extents seen should be sufficient
to give us a small performance boost on some streaming workloads.

leaf nodes can get a flags field where we can mark unwritten extents.
Interior nodes whose length references all the child nodes beneath it can't

5b04aa3a64 [PATCH] Turn do_sync_file_range() into do_sync_mapping_range()
do_sync_file_range() accepts a file * from which it takes an address_space to
sync.  Abstract out the bulk of the function into do_sync_mapping_range()
which takes the address_space directly.  This way callers who want to sync an
address_space directly can take advantage of the functionality provided.

do_sync_file_range() is preserved as a small wrapper around
do_sync_mapping_range().

Ocfs2 in particular would like to use this to initiate a sync of a specific
inode range during truncate, where a file * may not be available.

ocfs2_get_block() didn't understand sparse files, fix that. Also remove some
code that isn't really useful anymore. We can fix up
ocfs2_direct_IO_get_blocks() at the same time.

5069120b72 ocfs2: remove ocfs2_prepare_write() and ocfs2_commit_write()
These are no longer used, and can't handle file systems with sparse file
allocation.

9517bac6cc ocfs2: teach ocfs2_file_aio_write() about sparse files
Unfortunately, ocfs2 can no longer make use of generic_file_aio_write_nlock()
because allocating writes will require zeroing of pages adjacent to the I/O
for cluster sizes greater than page size.

Implement a custom file write here, which can order page locks for zeroing.
This also has the advantage that cluster locks can easily be ordered outside
of the page locks.

This will be turned back on once we can do allocation in ->page_mkwrite().

abf8b15694 ocfs2: abstract out allocation locking
Right now, file allocation for ocfs2 is done within ocfs2_extend_file(),
which is either called from ->setattr() (for an i_size change), or at the
top of ocfs2_file_aio_write().

Inodes on file systems with sparse file support will want to do their
allocation during the actual write call.

In either case the cluster locking decisions are the same. We abstract out
that code into a new function, ocfs2_lock_allocators() which will be used by
a later patch to enable writing to sparse files.

This also provides a nice cleanup of ocfs2_extend_allocation().
