If some small bios of dirty node pages are supposed to be issued during the
sequential data writes, there-in well-produced consecutive data bios are able
to be split by the small node bios, resulting in performance degradation.
So, let's collect a number of dirty node pages until reaching a threshold.
And, by default, I set the threshold as 2MB, a segment size.

This improves sequential write performance on i5, 512GB SSD (830 w/ SATA2) as
follows.
Before: 231 MB/s -> After: 255 MB/s

[PATCH] mm: kill vma flag VM_CAN_NONLINEAR

This patch moves actual ptes filling for non-linear file mappings
into special vma operation: ->remap_pages().

File system must implement this method to get non-linear mappings support,
if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used.

Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support."

There is an race condition between umounting f2fs and reading f2fs/status, which
results in oops.

Fox example:
Thread A			Thread B
umount f2fs 			cat f2fs/status

f2fs_destroy_stats() {		stat_show() {
				 list_for_each_entry_safe(&f2fs_stat_list)
 list_del(&si->stat_list);
 mutex_lock(&si->stat_lock);
 si->sbi = NULL;
 mutex_unlock(&si->stat_lock);
 kfree(sbi->stat_info);
} 				 mutex_lock(&si->stat_lock) <- si is gone.
				 ...
				}

Solution with a global lock: f2fs_stat_mutex:
Thread A			Thread B
umount f2fs 			cat f2fs/status

f2fs_destroy_stats() {		stat_show() {
 mutex_lock(&f2fs_stat_mutex);
 list_del(&si->stat_list);
 mutex_unlock(&f2fs_stat_mutex);
 kfree(sbi->stat_info);		 mutex_lock(&f2fs_stat_mutex);

[jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com: fix typos, description, and remove the existing lock]
Signed-off-by: NJaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>

Let's consider the usage of blk_plug in f2fs_write_data_pages().
We can come up with the two issues: lock contention and task awareness.

1. Merging bios prior to grabing "queue lock"
 The f2fs merges consecutive IOs in the file system level before
 submitting any bios, which is similar with the back merge by the
 plugging mechanism in attempt_plug_merge(). Both of them need to acquire
 no queue lock.

2. Merging policy with respect to tasks
 The f2fs merges IOs as much as possible regardless of tasks, while
 blk-plugging is conducted on a basis of tasks. As we can understand
 there are trade-offs, f2fs tries to maximize the write performance with
 well-merged bios.

As a result, if f2fs produces many consecutive but separated bios in
writepages(), it would be good to use blk-plugging since f2fs would be
able to avoid queue lock contention in the block layer by merging them.
But, f2fs merges IOs and submit one bio, which means that there are not
much chances to merge bios by attempt_plug_merge().

However, f2fs has already been used blk_plug by triggering generic_writepages()
in f2fs_write_data_pages().
So to make the overall code consistency, I'd like to remove blk_plug there.

The f2fs_fallocate() has two operations: punch_hole and expand_size.

Only in the case of punch_hole, dirty node pages can be produced, so let's
trigger f2fs_balance_fs() in this case only.
Furthermore, let's trigger it at every data truncation routine.
Signed-off-by: NNamjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@samsung.com>
Signed-off-by: NJaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>

The f2fs_balance_fs() is to check the number of free sections and decide whether
it needs to conduct cleaning or not. If there are not enough free sections, the
cleaning job should be started.

In order to control an amount of free sections even under high utilization, f2fs
should call f2fs_balance_fs at all the VFS interfaces that are able to produce
dirty pages.
This patch adds the function calls in the missing interfaces as follows.

1. f2fs_setxattr()
The f2fs_setxattr() produces dirty node pages so that we should call
f2fs_balance_fs() either likewise doing in other VFS interfaces such as
f2fs_lookup(), f2fs_mkdir(), and so on.

2. f2fs_sync_file()
We should guarantee serving free sections for syncing metadata during fsync.
Previously, there is no space check before triggering checkpoint and
sync_node_pages.
Therefore, if a bunch of fsync calls are triggered under 100% of FS utilization,
f2fs is able to be faced with no free sections, resulting in BUG_ON().

3. f2fs_sync_fs()
Before calling write_checkpoint(), we should guarantee that there are minimum
free sections.

4. f2fs_write_inode()
f2fs_write_inode() is also able to produce dirty node pages.

The locking in update_vsyscall_tz() is not only unnecessary because the vdso
code copies the data unproteced in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also
introduces a hard to reproduce race condition between update_vsyscall()
and update_vsyscall_tz(), which causes user space process to loop
forever in vdso code.

The following patch removes the locking from update_vsyscall_tz().

Locking is not only unnecessary because the vdso code copies the data
unprotected in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also erroneous because updating
the tb_update_count is not atomic and introduces a hard to reproduce race
condition between update_vsyscall() and update_vsyscall_tz(), which further
causes user space process to loop forever in vdso code.

The below scenario describes the race condition,
x==0	Boot CPU			other CPU
	proc_P: x==0
	    timer interrupt
		update_vsyscall
x==1		    x++;sync		settimeofday
					    update_vsyscall_tz
x==2						x++;sync
x==3		    sync;x++
						sync;x++
	proc_P: x==3 (loops until x becomes even)

Because the ++ operator would be implemented as three instructions and not
atomic on powerpc.

  leds: leds-gpio: set devm_gpio_request_one() flags param correctly

commit a99d76f9 leds: leds-gpio: use gpio_request_one

changed the leds-gpio driver to use gpio_request_one() instead
of gpio_request() + gpio_direction_output()

Unfortunately, it also made a semantic change that breaks the
leds-gpio driver.

The gpio_request_one() flags parameter was set to:

GPIOF_DIR_OUT | (led_dat->active_low ^ state)

Since GPIOF_DIR_OUT is 0, the final flags value will just be the
XOR'ed value of led_dat->active_low and state.

This value were used to distinguish between HIGH/LOW output initial
level and call gpio_direction_output() accordingly.

With this new semantic gpio_request_one() will take the flags value
of 1 as a configuration of input direction (GPIOF_DIR_IN) and will
call gpio_direction_input() instead of gpio_direction_output().

int gpio_request_one(unsigned gpio, unsigned long flags, const char *label)
{
..
	if (flags & GPIOF_DIR_IN)
		err = gpio_direction_input(gpio);
	else
		err = gpio_direction_output(gpio,
				(flags & GPIOF_INIT_HIGH) ? 1 : 0);
..
}

The right semantic is to evaluate led_dat->active_low ^ state and
set the output initial level explicitly.

Recently I suggested using "mount -o remount,mpol=local /tmp" in NUMA
mempolicy testing.  Very nasty.  Reading /proc/mounts, /proc/pid/mounts
or /proc/pid/mountinfo may then corrupt one bit of kernel memory, often
in a page table (causing "Bad swap" or "Bad page map" warning or "Bad
pagetable" oops), sometimes in a vm_area_struct or rbnode or somewhere
worse.  "mpol=prefer" and "mpol=prefer:Node" are equally toxic.

Recent NUMA enhancements are not to blame: this dates back to 2.6.35,
when commit e17f74af "mempolicy: don't call mpol_set_nodemask() when
no_context" skipped mpol_parse_str()'s call to mpol_set_nodemask(),
which used to initialize v.preferred_node, or set MPOL_F_LOCAL in flags.
With slab poisoning, you can then rely on mpol_to_str() to set the bit
for node 0x6b6b, probably in the next page above the caller's stack.

mpol_parse_str() is only called from shmem_parse_options(): no_context
is always true, so call it unused for now, and remove !no_context code.
Set v.nodes or v.preferred_node or MPOL_F_LOCAL as mpol_to_str() might
expect.  Then mpol_to_str() can ignore its no_context argument also,
the mpol being appropriately initialized whether contextualized or not.
Rename its no_context unused too, and let subsequent patch remove them
(that's not needed for stable backporting, which would involve rejects).

I don't understand why MPOL_LOCAL is described as a pseudo-policy:
it's a reasonable policy which suffers from a confusing implementation
in terms of MPOL_PREFERRED with MPOL_F_LOCAL.  I believe this would be
much more robust if MPOL_LOCAL were recognized in switch statements
throughout, MPOL_F_LOCAL deleted, and MPOL_PREFERRED use the (possibly
empty) nodes mask like everyone else, instead of its preferred_node
variant (I presume an optimization from the days before MPOL_LOCAL).
But that would take me too long to get right and fully tested.
