The page_test_and_clear_dirty primitive really consists of two
operations, page_test_dirty and the page_clear_dirty. The combination
of the two is not an atomic operation, so it makes more sense to have
two separate operations instead of one.
In addition to the improved readability of the s390 version of
SetPageUptodate, it now avoids the page_test_dirty operation which is
an insert-storage-key-extended (iske) instruction which is an expensive
operation.

The git commit c2fda5fe which
added the page_test_and_clear_dirty call to page_mkclean and the
git commit 7658cc28 which fixes
the "nasty and subtle race in shared mmap'ed page writeback"
problem in clear_page_dirty_for_io cause data corruption on s390.

The effect of the two changes is that for every call to
clear_page_dirty_for_io a page_test_and_clear_dirty is done. If
the per page dirty bit is set set_page_dirty is called. Strangly
clear_page_dirty_for_io is called for not-uptodate pages, e.g.
over this call-chain:

 [<000000000007c0f2>] clear_page_dirty_for_io+0x12a/0x130
 [<000000000007c494>] generic_writepages+0x258/0x3e0
 [<000000000007c692>] do_writepages+0x76/0x7c

 [<000000000007cca2>] pdflush+0x162/0x23c

The bad news now is that page_test_and_clear_dirty might claim
that a not-uptodate page is dirty since SetPageUptodate which
resets the per page dirty bit has not yet been called. The page
writeback that follows clobbers the data on disk.

The simplest solution to this problem is to move the call to
page_test_and_clear_dirty under the "if (page_mapped(page))".
If a file backed page is mapped it is uptodate.

sys_madvise has down_write of mmap_sem, then madvise_remove calls
vmtruncate_range which takes i_mutex and i_alloc_sem: no, we can easily devise
deadlocks from that ordering.

madvise_remove drop mmap_sem while calling vmtruncate_range: luckily, since
madvise_remove doesn't split or merge vmas, it's easy to handle this case with
a NULL prev, without restructuring sys_madvise.  (Though sad to retake
mmap_sem when it's unlikely to be needed, and certainly down_read is
sufficient for MADV_REMOVE, unlike the other madvices.)

shmem_truncate_range has its own truncate_inode_pages_range, to free any pages
racily instantiated while it was in progress: a SHMEM_PAGEIN flag is set when
this might have happened.  But holepunching gets no chance to clear that flag
at the start of vmtruncate_range, so it's always set (unless a truncate came
just before), so holepunch almost always does this second
truncate_inode_pages_range.

shmem holepunch has unlikely swap<->file races hereabouts whatever we do
(without a fuller rework than is fit for this release): I was going to skip
the second truncate in the punch_hole case, but Miklos points out that would
make holepunch correctness more vulnerable to swapoff.  So keep the second
truncate, but follow it by an unmap_mapping_range to eliminate the
disconnected pages (freed from pagecache while still mapped in userspace) that
it might have left behind.

Miklos Szeredi observes that during truncation of shmem page directories,
info->lock is released to improve latency (after lowering i_size and
next_index to exclude races); but this is quite wrong for holepunching, which
receives no such protection from i_size or next_index, and is left vulnerable
to races with shmem_unuse, shmem_getpage and shmem_writepage.

Hold info->lock throughout when holepunching?  No, any user could prevent
rescheduling for far too long.  Instead take info->lock just when needed: in
shmem_free_swp when removing the swap entries, and whenever removing a
directory page from the level above.  But so long as we remove before
scanning, we can safely skip taking the lock at the lower levels, except at
misaligned start and end of the hole.

Miklos Szeredi observes BUG_ON(!entry) in shmem_writepage() triggered in rare
circumstances, because shmem_truncate_range() erroneously removes partially
truncated directory pages at the end of the range: later reclaim on pages
pointing to these removed directories triggers the BUG.  Indeed, and it can
also cause data loss beyond the hole.

Fix this as in the patch proposed by Miklos, but distinguish between "limit"
(how far we need to search: ignore truncation's next_index optimization in the
holepunch case - if there are races it's more consistent to act on the whole
range specified) and "upper_limit" (how far we can free directory pages:
generally we must be careful to keep partially punched pages, but can relax at
end of file - i_size being held stable by i_mutex).

There is a small problem in handling page bounce.

At the moment blk_max_pfn equals max_pfn, which is in fact not maximum
possible _number_ of a page frame, but the _amount_ of page frames.  For
example for the 32bit x86 node with 4Gb RAM, max_pfn = 0x100000, but not
0xFFFF.

request_queue structure has a member q->bounce_pfn and queue needs bounce
pages for the pages _above_ this limit.  This routine is handled by
blk_queue_bounce(), where the following check is produced:

	if (q->bounce_pfn >= blk_max_pfn)
		return;

Assume, that a driver has set q->bounce_pfn to 0xFFFF, but blk_max_pfn
equals 0x10000.  In such situation the check above fails and for each bio
we always fall down for iterating over pages tied to the bio.

I want to notice, that for quite a big range of device drivers (ide, md,
...) such problem doesn't happen because they use BLK_BOUNCE_ANY for
bounce_pfn.  BLK_BOUNCE_ANY is defined as blk_max_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT, and
then the check above doesn't fail.  But for other drivers, which obtain
reuired value from drivers, it fails.  For example sata_nv uses
ATA_DMA_MASK or dev->dma_mask.

I propose to use (max_pfn - 1) for blk_max_pfn.  And the same for
blk_max_low_pfn.  The patch also cleanses some checks related with
bounce_pfn.

The current NFS client congestion logic is severly broken, it marks the

mirror this in nfs_writepage() which makes for deadlocks.  Also it
implements its own waitqueue.

Replace this by a more regular congestion implementation that puts a cap on
the number of active writeback pages and uses the bdi congestion waitqueue.

This patch fixes a user-triggerable oops that was reported by Leonid
Ananiev as archived at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/8/337.

dio writes invalidate clean pages that intersect the written region so that
subsequent buffered reads go to disk to read the new data.  If this fails
the interface tries to tell the caller that the cache is inconsistent by
returning EIO.

Before this patch we had the problem where this invalidation failure would
clobber -EIOCBQUEUED as it made its way from fs/direct-io.c to fs/aio.c.
Both fs/aio.c and bio completion call aio_complete() and we reference freed
memory, usually oopsing.

This patch addresses this problem by invalidating before the write so that
we can cleanly return -EIO before ->direct_IO() has had a chance to return
-EIOCBQUEUED.

There is a compromise here.  During the dio write we can fault in mmap()ed
pages which intersect the written range with get_user_pages() if the user
provided them for the source buffer.  This is a crazy thing to do, but we
can make it mostly work in most cases by trying the invalidation again.
The compromise is that we won't return an error if this second invalidation
fails if it's an AIO write and we have -EIOCBQUEUED.

This was tested by having two processes race performing large O_DIRECT and
buffered ordered writes.  Within minutes ext3 would see a race between
ext3_releasepage() and jbd holding a reference on ordered data buffers and
would cause invalidation to fail, panicing the box.  The test can be found
in the 'aio_dio_bugs' test group in test.kernel.org/autotest.  After this
patch the test passes.

The alien cache is a per cpu per node array allocated for every slab on the
system.  Currently we size this array for all nodes that the kernel does
support.  For IA64 this is 1024 nodes.  So we allocate an array with 1024
objects even if we only boot a system with 4 nodes.

This patch uses "nr_node_ids" to determine the number of possible nodes
supported by a hardware configuration and only allocates an alien cache
sized for possible nodes.

The initialization of nr_node_ids occurred too late relative to the bootstrap
of the slab allocator and so I moved the setup_nr_node_ids() into
free_area_init_nodes().

highest_possible_node_id() is currently used to calculate the last possible
node idso that the network subsystem can figure out how to size per node

I think having the ability to determine the maximum amount of nodes in a
system at runtime is useful but then we should name this entry
correspondingly, it should return the number of node_ids, and the the value
needs to be setup only once on bootup.  The node_possible_map does not
change after bootup.

This patch introduces nr_node_ids and replaces the use of
highest_possible_node_id().  nr_node_ids is calculated on bootup when the
page allocators pagesets are initialized.

memory-less-node.  This patch checks the length of zonelist.  If length is
0, returns -EINVAL.

tested on ia64/NUMA with memory-less-node.

When NFSD receives a write request, the data is typically in a number of
1448 byte segments and writev is used to collect them together.

Unfortunately, generic_file_buffered_write passes these to the filesystem
one at a time, so an e.g.  32K over-write becomes a series of partial-page
writes to each page, causing the filesystem to have to pre-read those pages
- wasted effort.

generic_file_buffered_write handles one segment of the vector at a time as
it has to pre-fault in each segment to avoid deadlocks.  When writing from
kernel-space (and nfsd does) this is not an issue, so
generic_file_buffered_write does not need to break and iovec from nfsd into
little pieces.

This patch avoids the splitting when  get_fs is KERNEL_DS as it is
from NFSd.

Paper bag time. Thanks to Randy for noticing that I didn't actually assign
'present' to anything.

Unfortunately my original patch passed the few simple test cases I gave it,
purely by coincidence.

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.
