[mszeredi@suse.cz] split big patch into managable chunks

Add the following functions:

  dentry_path()
  seq_dentry()

These are similar to d_path() and seq_path().  But instead of
calculating the path within a mount namespace, they calculate the path
from the root of the filesystem to a given dentry, ignoring mounts
completely.

Taking namespace_sem shared there isn't worth the trouble, especially with
vfsmount ID allocation about to be added.  That way we know that umount_tree(),
copy_tree() and clone_mnt() are _always_ serialized by namespace_sem.
umount_tree() still needs vfsmount_lock (it manipulates hash chains, among
other things), but that's a separate story.

Signed-off-by: NDavid Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>

If a node is removed from a lockspace, and then added back before the
dlm is notified of the removal, the dlm will not detect the removal
and won't clear the old state from the node.  This is fixed by using a
list of added nodes so the membership recovery can detect when a newly
added node is already in the member list.

This patch enables bio_copy_user to take struct sg_iovec (renamed
bio_copy_user_iov). bio_copy_user uses bio_copy_user_iov internally as
bio_map_user uses bio_map_user_iov.

The major changes are:

- adds sg_iovec array to struct bio_map_data

- adds __bio_copy_iov that copy data between bio and
sg_iovec. bio_copy_user_iov and bio_uncopy_user use it.

Requiring userspace to close and re-open sysfs attributes has been the
policy since before 2.6.12.  It allows userspace to get a consistent
snapshot of kernel state and consume it with incremental reads and seeks.

Now, if the file position is zero the kernel assumes userspace wants to see
the new value.  The application for this change is to allow a userspace
RAID metadata handler to check the state of an array without causing any
memory allocations.  Thus not causing writeback to a raid array that might
be blocked waiting for userspace to take action.

There have been a few oopses caused by 'struct file's with NULL f_vfsmnts.
There was also a set of potentially missed mnt_want_write()s from
dentry_open() calls.

This patch provides a very simple debugging framework to catch these kinds of
bugs.  It will WARN_ON() them, but should stop us from having any oopses or
mnt_writer count imbalances.

I'm quite convinced that this is a good thing because it found bugs in the
stuff I was working on as soon as I wrote it.

This is the core of the read-only bind mount patch set.

Note that this does _not_ add a "ro" option directly to the bind mount
operation.  If you require such a mount, you must first do the bind, then
follow it up with a 'mount -o remount,ro' operation:

If you wish to have a r/o bind mount of /foo on bar:

	mount --bind /foo /bar
	mount -o remount,ro /bar

This is the real meat of the entire series.  It actually
implements the tracking of the number of writers to a mount.
However, it causes scalability problems because there can be
hundreds of cpus doing open()/close() on files on the same mnt at
the same time.  Even an atomic_t in the mnt has massive scalaing
problems because the cacheline gets so terribly contended.

This uses a statically-allocated percpu variable.  All want/drop
operations are local to a cpu as long that cpu operates on the same
mount, and there are no writer count imbalances.  Writer count
imbalances happen when a write is taken on one cpu, and released
on another, like when an open/close pair is performed on two

Upon a remount,ro request, all of the data from the percpu
variables is collected (expensive, but very rare) and we determine
if there are any outstanding writers to the mount.

I've written a little benchmark to sit in a loop for a couple of
seconds in several cpus in parallel doing open/write/close loops.

http://sr71.net/~dave/linux/openbench.c

The code in here is a a worst-possible case for this patch.  It
does opens on a _pair_ of files in two different mounts in parallel.
This should cause my code to lose its "operate on the same mount"
optimization completely.  This worst-case scenario causes a 3%
degredation in the benchmark.

I could probably get rid of even this 3%, but it would be more
complex than what I have here, and I think this is getting into
acceptable territory.  In practice, I expect writing more than 3
bytes to a file, as well as disk I/O to mask any effects that this
has.

(To get rid of that 3%, we could have an #defined number of mounts
in the percpu variable.  So, instead of a CPU getting operate only
on percpu data when it accesses only one mount, it could stay on
percpu data when it only accesses N or fewer mounts.)

If we depend on the inodes for writeability, we will not catch the r/o mounts
when implemented.

This patches uses __mnt_want_write().  It does not guarantee that the mount
will stay writeable after the check.  But, this is OK for one of the checks
because it is just for a printk().

The other two are probably unnecessary and duplicate existing checks in the
VFS.  This won't make them better checks than before, but it will make them
detect r/o mounts.

Elevate the write count during the xfs m/ctime updates.

XFS has to do it's own timestamp updates due to an unfortunate VFS

It is OK to let access() go without using a mnt_want/drop_write() pair because
it doesn't actually do writes to the filesystem, and it is inherently racy
anyway.  This is a rare case when it is OK to use __mnt_is_readonly()
directly.

This is the first really tricky patch in the series.  It elevates the writer
count on a mount each time a non-special file is opened for write.

We used to do this in may_open(), but Miklos pointed out that __dentry_open()
is used as well to create filps.  This will cover even those cases, while a
call in may_open() would not have.

There is also an elevated count around the vfs_create() call in open_namei().
See the comments for more details, but we need this to fix a 'create, remount,
fail r/w open()' race.

Some filesystems forego the use of normal vfs calls to create
struct files.   Make sure that these users elevate the mnt
writer count because they will get __fput(), and we need
to make sure they're balanced.
