      Revert "ext4: don't release page refs in ext4_end_bio()" · 6268b325
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit b43d17f3.
      
      Dave Jones reports that it causes lockups on his laptop, and his debug
      output showed a lot of processes hung waiting for page_writeback (or
      more commonly - processes hung waiting for a lock that was held during
      that writeback wait).
      
      The page_writeback hint made Ted suggest that Dave look at this commit,
      and Dave verified that reverting it makes his problems go away.
      
      Ted says:
       "That commit fixes a race which is seen when you write into fallocated
        (and hence uninitialized) disk blocks under *very* heavy memory
        pressure.  Furthermore, although theoretically it could trigger under
        normal direct I/O writes, it only seems to trigger if you are issuing
        a huge number of AIO writes, such that a just-written page can get
        evicted from memory, and then read back into memory, before the
        workqueue has a chance to update the extent tree.
      
        This race has been around for a little over a year, and no one noticed
        until two months ago; it only happens under fairly exotic conditions,
        and in fact even after trying very hard to create a simple repro under
        lab conditions, we could only reproduce the problem and confirm the
        fix on production servers running MySQL on very fast PCIe-attached
        flash devices.
      
        Given that Dave was able to hit this problem pretty quickly, if we
        confirm that this commit is at fault, the only reasonable thing to do
        is to revert it IMO."

      pagemap: remove remaining unneeded spin_lock() · 10bdfb5e
      Naoya Horiguchi 提交于
      Commit 025c5b24 ("thp: optimize away unnecessary page table
      locking") moves spin_lock() into pmd_trans_huge_lock() in order to avoid
      locking unless pmd is for thp.  So this spin_lock() is a bug.

      Btrfs: update the checks for mixed block groups with big metadata blocks · bc3f116f
      Chris Mason 提交于
      Dave Sterba had put in patches to look for mixed data/metadata groups
      with metadata bigger than 4KB.  But these ended up in the wrong place
      and it wasn't testing the feature flag correctly.
      
      This updates the tests to make sure our sizes are matching
