Current -mm tree has bucketful of bug fixes in periodic writeback path.
However, we still hit a glitch where dirty pages on a given inode aren't
completely flushed to the disk, and system will accumulate large amount of
dirty pages beyond what dirty_expire_interval is designed for.

The problem is __sync_single_inode() will move an inode to sb->s_dirty list
even when there are more pending dirty pages on that inode.  If there is
another inode with a small number of dirty pages, we hit a case where the loop
iteration in wb_kupdate() terminates prematurely because wbc.nr_to_write > 0.
Thus leaving the inode that has large amount of dirty pages behind and it has
to wait for another dirty_writeback_interval before we flush it again.  We
effectively only write out MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES every dirty_writeback_interval.
If the rate of dirtying is sufficiently high, the system will start
accumulate a large number of dirty pages.

So fix it by having another sb->s_more_io list on which to park the inode
while we iterate through sb->s_io and to allow each dirty inode which resides
on that sb to have an equal chance of flushing some amount of dirty pages.

This one fixes four bugs.

There are a few situation in there where writeback decides it is going to skip
over a blockdev inode on the kernel-internal blockdev superblock.  It
presently does this by moving the blockdev inode onto the tail of the blockdev
superblock's s_dirty.  But

a) this screws up s_dirty's reverse-time-orderedness and

b) refiling the blockdev for writeback in another 30 second is rude.  We
   should try again sooner than that.

Fix all this up by using redirty_head(): move the blockdev inode onto the head
of the blockdev superblock's s_dirty list for prompt writeback.

Recycling the previous changelog:

  When the writeback function is operating in writeback-for-flushing mode
  (as opposed to writeback-for-integrity) and it encounters an I_LOCKed inode,
  it will skip writing that inode.  This is done for throughput and latency:
  move on to another inode rather than blocking for this one.

  Writeback skips this inode by moving it off s_io and onto s_dirty, so that
  writeback can proceed with the other inodes on s_io.

  However that inode movement can corrupt s_dirty's
  reverse-time-orderedness.  Fix that by using the new redirty_tail(), which
  will update the refiled inode's dirtied_when field.

  Note: the behaviour in here is a bit rude: if kupdate happens to come
  across a locked inode then it will defer writeback of that inode for another
  30 seconds.  We'll address that in the next patch.

Address that here.  What we do is to move the skipped inode to the _head_ of
s_dirty, immediately eligible for writeout again.  Instead of deferring that
writeout for another 30 seconds.

One would think that this might cause a livelock: we keep on trying to write
the same locked inode.  But it won't because:

a) if that was the case, it would _already_ be happening on the
   balance_dirty_pages codepath.  Because balance_dirty_pages() doesn't care
   about inode timestamps.

b) if we skipped this inode then we won't have done any writeback.  The
   higher-level writeback paths will see that wbc.nr_to_write didn't change
   and they'll then back off and take a nap.

When the kupdate function has tried to write back an expired inode it will
then check to see whether some of the inode's pages are still dirty.

This can happen when the filesystem decided to not write a page for some
reason.  But it does _not_ occur due to redirtyings: a redirtying will set
I_DIRTY_PAGES.

What we need to do here is to set I_DIRTY_PAGES to reflect reality and to then
put the inode onto the _head_ of s_dirty for consideration on the next kupdate
pass, in five seconds time.

Problem is, the code failed to modify the inode's timestamp when pushing the
inode onto thehead of s_dirty.

The patch:

If there are no other inodes on s_dirty then we leave the inode's timestamp
alone: it is already expired.

If there _are_ other inodes on s_dirty then we arrange for this inode to get
the same timestamp as the inode which is at the head of s_dirty, thus
preserving the s_dirty ordering.  But we only need to do this if this inode
purports to have been dirtied before the one at head-of-list.

While writeback is working against a dirty inode it does a check after trying
to write some of the inode's pages:

"did the lower layers skip some of the inode's dirty pages because they were
locked (or under writeback, or whatever)"

If this turns out to be true, we must move the inode back onto s_dirty and
redirty it.  The reason for doing this is that fsync() and friends only check
the s_dirty list, and those functions want to know about those pages which
were locked, so they can be waited upon and, if necessary, rewritten.

Problem is, that redirtying was putting the inode onto the tail of s_dirty
without updating its timestamp.  This causes a violation of s_dirty ordering.

Fix this by updating inode->dirtied_when when moving the inode onto s_dirty.

But the code is still a bit buggy?  If the inode was _already_ dirty then we
don't need to move it at all.  Oh well, hopefully it doesn't matter too much,
as that was a redirtying, which was very recent anwyay.

For reasons which escape me, inodes which are dirty against a ram-backed
filesystem are managed in the same way as inodes which are backed by real
devices.

Probably we could optimise things here.  But given that we skip the entire
supeblock as son as we hit the first dirty inode, there's not a lot to be
gained.

And the code does need to handle one particular non-backed superblock: the
kernel's fake internal superblock which holds all the blockdevs.

Still.  At present when the code encounters an inode which is dirty against a
memory-backed filesystem it will skip that inode by refiling it back onto
s_dirty.  But it fails to update the inode's timestamp when doing so which at
least makes the debugging code upset.

Fix.

When writeback has finished writing back an inode it looks to see if that
inode is still dirty.  If it is, that means that a process redirtied the inode
while its writeback was in progress.

What we need to do here is to refile the redirtied inode onto the s_dirty
list.

But we're doing that wrongly: it could be that this inode was redirtied
_before_ the last inode on s_dirty.  We're blindly appending this inode to the
list, after an inode which might be less-recently-dirtied, thus violating the
list's ordering.

So we must either insertion-sort this inode into the correct place, or we must
update this inode's dirtied_when field when appending it to the reverse-sorted
s_dirty list, to preserve the reverse-time-ordering.

This patch does the latter: if this inode was dirtied less recently than the
tail inode then copy the tail inode's timestamp into this inode.

This means that in rare circumstances, some inodes will be writen back later
than they should have been.  But the time slip will be small.

When resizing online, setup_new_group_blocks attempts to reserve a
potentially very large transaction, depending on the current filesystem
geometry.  For some journal sizes, there may not be enough room for this
transaction, and the online resize will fail.

The patch below resizes & restarts the transaction as necessary while
setting up the new group, and should work with even the smallest journal.

Tested with something like:

[root@newbox ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=fsfile bs=1024 count=32768
[root@newbox ~]# mkfs.ext3 -b 1024 fsfile 16384
[root@newbox ~]# mount -o loop fsfile mnt/
[root@newbox ~]# resize2fs /dev/loop0
resize2fs 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007)
Filesystem at /dev/loop0 is mounted on /root/mnt; on-line resizing required
old desc_blocks = 1, new_desc_blocks = 1
Performing an on-line resize of /dev/loop0 to 32768 (1k) blocks.
resize2fs: No space left on device While trying to add group #2
[root@newbox ~]# dmesg | tail -n 1
JBD: resize2fs wants too many credits (258 > 256)
[root@newbox ~]#

With the below change, it works.

Currently arch_align_stack() is used by fs/binfmt_elf.c to randomize
stack pointer inside a page. But this happens only if ELF_PLATFORM
symbol is defined.

ELF_PLATFORM is normally set if the architecture wants ld.so to load
implementation specific libraries for optimization. And currently a
lot of architectures just yield this symbol to NULL.

This is the case for MIPS architecture where ELF_PLATFORM is NULL but
arch_align_stack() has been redefined to do stack inside page
randomization. So in this case no randomization is actually done.

This patch breaks this dependency which seems to be useless and allows
platforms such MIPS to do the randomization.
