commit 420e3646 allowed the kernel to reduce the number of unnecessary
commit calls by skipping the commit when there are a large number of
outstanding pages.

However, the current test in nfs_commit_unstable_pages does not handle
the edge condition properly. When ncommit == 0, then that means that the
kernel doesn't need to do anything more for the inode. The current test
though in the WB_SYNC_NONE case will return true, and the inode will end
up being marked dirty. Once that happens the inode will never be clean
until there's a WB_SYNC_ALL flush.

Fix this by immediately returning from nfs_commit_unstable_pages when
ncommit == 0.

Mike noticed this problem initially in RHEL5 (2.6.18-based kernel) which
has a backported version of 420e3646. The inode cache there was growing
very large. The inode cache was unable to be shrunk since the inodes
were all marked dirty. Calling sync() would essentially "fix" the
problem -- the WB_SYNC_ALL flush would result in the inodes all being
marked clean.

What I'm not clear on is how big a problem this is in mainline kernels
as the writeback code there is very different. Either way, it seems
incorrect to re-mark the inode dirty in this case.

This reverts commit b80c3cb6.

The reverted commit was rendered obsolete by a VFS fix: commit
5547e8aa (writeback: Update dirty flags in
two steps). We now no longer need to worry about writeback_single_inode()
missing our marking the inode for COMMIT in 'do_writepages()' call.

Reverting this patch, fixes a performance regression in which the inode
would continuously get queued to the dirty list, causing the writeback
code to unnecessarily try to send a COMMIT.

The size is always valid, but variable-length arrays generate worse code
for no good reason (unless the function happens to be inlined and the
compiler sees the length for the simple constant it is).

Also, there seems to be some code generation problem on POWER, where
Henrik Bakken reports that register r28 can get corrupted under some
subtle circumstances (interrupt happening at the wrong time?).  That all
indicates some seriously broken compiler issues, but since variable
length arrays are bad regardless, there's little point in trying to
chase it down.

SFI tables reside in RAM and should not be modified once they are
written.  Current code went to set pentry->irq to zero which causes
subsequent reads to fail with invalid SFI table checksum.  This will
break kexec as the second kernel fails to validate SFI tables.

To fix this we use temporary variable for irq number.

The w83627ehf driver is improperly reporting thermal diode sensors as
type 2, instead of 3. This caused "sensors" and possibly other
monitoring tools to report these sensors as "transistor" instead of
"thermal diode".

Furthermore, diode subtype selection (CPU vs. external) is only
supported by the original W83627EHF/EHG. All later models only support
CPU diode type, and some (NCT6776F) don't even have the register in
question so we should avoid reading from it.

  Btrfs: make sure not to defrag extents past i_size
  Btrfs: fix recursive auto-defrag

Currently we have a few issues with the way the workqueue code is used to
implement AIL pushing:

 - it accidentally uses the same workqueue as the syncer action, and thus
   can be prevented from running if there are enough sync actions active
   in the system.
 - it doesn't use the HIGHPRI flag to queue at the head of the queue of
   work items

At this point I'm not confident enough in getting all the workqueue flags and
tweaks right to provide a perfectly reliable execution context for AIL
pushing, which is the most important piece in XFS to make forward progress
when the log fills.

Revert back to use a kthread per filesystem which fixes all the above issues
at the cost of having a task struct and stack around for each mounted
filesystem.  In addition this also gives us much better ways to diagnose
any issues involving hung AIL pushing and removes a small amount of code.

The btrfs file defrag code will loop through the extents and
force COW on them.  But there is a concurrent truncate in the middle of
the defrag, it might end up defragging the same range over and over
again.

The problem is that writepage won't go through and do anything on pages
past i_size, so the cow won't happen, so the file will appear to still
be fragmented.  defrag will end up hitting the same extents again and
again.

In the worst case, the truncate can actually live lock with the defrag
because the defrag keeps creating new ordered extents which the truncate
code keeps waiting on.

The fix here is to make defrag check for i_size inside the main loop,
instead of just once before the looping starts.

Follow those steps:

  # mount -o autodefrag /dev/sda7 /mnt
  # dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/tmp bs=200K count=1
  # sync
  # dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/tmp bs=8K count=1 conv=notrunc

and then it'll go into a loop: writeback -> defrag -> writeback ...

It's because writeback writes [8K, 200K] and then writes [0, 8K].

I tried to make writeback know if the pages are dirtied by defrag,
but the patch was a bit intrusive. Here I simply set writeback_index
when we defrag a file.

The doorbell register was being unconditionally swapped. In x86, that
meant it was being swapped to BE and written to the descriptor and to
memory, depending on the case of blue frame support or writing to
doorbell register. On PPC, this meant it was being swapped to LE and
then swapped back to BE while writing to the register. But in the blue
frame case, it was being written as LE to the descriptor.

The fix is not to swap doorbell unconditionally, write it to the
register as BE and convert it to BE when writing it to the descriptor.

I'm very glad to bring on Stephen Warren on board as a maintainer. The

Nvidia means he has long-term interest in the platform.

Erik Gilling did an astounding amount of work on getting things up and

while, and is stepping down. Thanks for your contributions so far, Erik.

Finally, update the git URL since I'll take over running the main repo
