 rwsem: wake queued readers when writer blocks on active read lock

made this change:

-           (rwsem_atomic_update(0, sem) & RWSEM_ACTIVE_MASK))
-               /* Someone grabbed the sem already */
+           rwsem_atomic_update(0, sem) < RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS)
+               /* Someone grabbed the sem for write already */

RWSEM_ACTIVE_MASK is 0xffffffffL, so the old code only looked
at the low order 32-bits. The new code needs to see all 64 bits.

The tv_nsec is a long and when added to the shifted interval it can wrap
and become negative which later causes looping problems in the
getrawmonotonic().  The edge case occurs when the system has slept for
a short period of time of ~2 seconds.

A trace printk of the values in this patch illustrate the problem:

ftrace time stamp: log
43.716079: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec d687faa
43.718513: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec da588bd
43.722161: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec de291d0
46.349925: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 7a122600 tv_nsec e1f9ae3b
46.349930: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 1e848980 tv_nsec 8831c0e3

The kernel starts looping at 46.349925 in the getrawmonotonic() due to
the negative value from adding the raw value to tv_nsec.

A simple solution is to accumulate into a u64, and then normalize it
to a timespec_t.

mmc_test provides tests aimed at testing SD/MMC hosts.  This patch adds
performance tests.

It is advantageous to have performance tests in a kernel
module like mmc_test for the following reasons:
	- transfer times can be measured very accurately
	- arbitrarily large transfers are possible
	- the effect of contiguous vs scattered pages
	can be determined

The new tests are:

	23. Best-case read performance
	24. Best-case write performance
	25. Best-case read performance into scattered pages
	26. Best-case write performance from scattered pages
	27. Single read performance by transfer size
	28. Single write performance by transfer size
	29. Single trim performance by transfer size
	30. Consecutive read performance by transfer size
	31. Consecutive write performance by transfer size
	32. Consecutive trim performance by transfer size

SD/MMC cards tend to support an erase operation.  In addition, eMMC v4.4
cards can support secure erase, trim and secure trim operations that are
all variants of the basic erase command.

SD/MMC device attributes "erase_size" and "preferred_erase_size" have been
added.

"erase_size" is the minimum size, in bytes, of an erase operation.  For
MMC, "erase_size" is the erase group size reported by the card.  Note that
"erase_size" does not apply to trim or secure trim operations where the
minimum size is always one 512 byte sector.  For SD, "erase_size" is 512
if the card is block-addressed, 0 otherwise.

SD/MMC cards can erase an arbitrarily large area up to and
including the whole card.  When erasing a large area it may
be desirable to do it in smaller chunks for three reasons:

    1. A single erase command will make all other I/O on the card
       wait.  This is not a problem if the whole card is being erased, but
       erasing one partition will make I/O for another partition on the
       same card wait for the duration of the erase - which could be a
       several minutes.

    2. To be able to inform the user of erase progress.

    3. The erase timeout becomes too large to be very useful.
       Because the erase timeout contains a margin which is multiplied by
       the size of the erase area, the value can end up being several
       minutes for large areas.

"erase_size" is not the most efficient unit to erase (especially for SD
where it is just one sector), hence "preferred_erase_size" provides a good
chunk size for erasing large areas.

For MMC, "preferred_erase_size" is the high-capacity erase size if a card
specifies one, otherwise it is based on the capacity of the card.

For SD, "preferred_erase_size" is the allocation unit size specified by
the card.

"preferred_erase_size" is in bytes.

Commit 83ba7b07 ("writeback: simplify the write back thread queue")
broke writeback_in_progress() as in that commit we started to remove work
items from the list at the moment we start working on them and not at the
moment they are finished.  Thus if the flusher thread was doing some work
but there was no other work queued, writeback_in_progress() returned
false.  This could in particular cause unnecessary queueing of background
writeback from balance_dirty_pages() or writeout work from
writeback_sb_if_idle().

This patch fixes the problem by introducing a bit in the bdi state which
indicates that the flusher thread is processing some work and uses this
bit for writeback_in_progress() test.

NOTE: Both callsites of writeback_in_progress() (namely,
writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() and balance_dirty_pages()) would actually
need a different information than what writeback_in_progress() provides.
They would need to know whether *the kind of writeback they are going to
submit* is already queued.  But this information isn't that simple to
provide so let's fix writeback_in_progress() for the time being.

Unify the logic for kupdate and non-kupdate cases.  There won't be
starvation because the inodes requeued into b_more_io will later be
spliced _after_ the remaining inodes in b_io, hence won't stand in the way
of other inodes in the next run.

It avoids unnecessary redirty_tail() calls, hence the update of
i_dirtied_when.  The timestamp update is undesirable because it could
later delay the inode's periodic writeback, or may exclude the inode from
the data integrity sync operation (which checks timestamp to avoid extra
work and livelock).

===
How the redirty_tail() comes about:

It was a long story..  This redirty_tail() was introduced with
wbc.more_io.  The initial patch for more_io actually does not have the
redirty_tail(), and when it's merged, several 100% iowait bug reports
arised:

reiserfs:
        http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/23/93

jfs:
        commit 29a424f2
        JFS: clear PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY for no-write pages

ext2:
        http://www.spinics.net/linux/lists/linux-ext4/msg04762.html

They are all old bugs hidden in various filesystems that become "visible"
with the more_io patch.  At the time, the ext2 bug is thought to be
"trivial", so not fixed.  Instead the following updated more_io patch with
redirty_tail() is merged:

	http://www.spinics.net/linux/lists/linux-ext4/msg04507.html

This will in general prevent 100% on ext2 and possibly other unknown FS bugs.

This was not a bug, since b_io is empty for kupdate writeback.  The next
patch will do requeue_io() for non-kupdate writeback, so let's fix it.

Avoid delaying writeback for an expire inode with lots of dirty pages, but
no active dirtier at the moment.  Previously we only do that for the
kupdate case.

Any filesystem that does delayed allocation or unwritten extent conversion
after IO completion will cause this - for example, XFS.
