      [ARM] Resolve fuse and direct-IO failures due to missing cache flushes · 6020dff0
      由 Russell King 提交于 
      fuse does not work on ARM due to cache incoherency issues - fuse wants
to use get_user_pages() to copy data from the current process into
kernel space.  However, since this accesses userspace via the kernel
mapping, the kernel mapping can be out of date wrt data written to
userspace.

This can lead to unpredictable behaviour (in the case of fuse) or data
corruption for direct-IO.

This resolves debian bug #402876

      [ARM] pass vma for flush_anon_page() · a6f36be3
      由 Russell King 提交于 
      Since get_user_pages() may be used with processes other than the
current process and calls flush_anon_page(), flush_anon_page() has to
cope in some way with non-current processes.

It may not be appropriate, or even desirable to flush a region of
virtual memory cache in the current process when that is different to
the process that we want the flush to occur for.

Therefore, pass the vma into flush_anon_page() so that the architecture
can work out whether the 'vmaddr' is for the current process or not.

      VM: Remove "clear_page_dirty()" and "test_clear_page_dirty()" functions · fba2591b
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      They were horribly easy to mis-use because of their tempting naming, and
they also did way more than any users of them generally wanted them to
do.

A dirty page can become clean under two circumstances:

 (a) when we write it out.  We have "clear_page_dirty_for_io()" for
     this, and that function remains unchanged.

     In the "for IO" case it is not sufficient to just clear the dirty
     bit, you also have to mark the page as being under writeback etc.

 (b) when we actually remove a page due to it becoming inaccessible to
     users, notably because it was truncate()'d away or the file (or
     metadata) no longer exists, and we thus want to cancel any
     outstanding dirty state.

For the (b) case, we now introduce "cancel_dirty_page()", which only
touches the page state itself, and verifies that the page is not mapped
(since cancelling writes on a mapped page would be actively wrong as it
is still accessible to users).

Some filesystems need to be fixed up for this: CIFS, FUSE, JFS,
ReiserFS, XFS all use the old confusing functions, and will be fixed
separately in subsequent commits (with some of them just removing the
offending logic, and others using clear_page_dirty_for_io()).

This was confirmed by Martin Michlmayr to fix the apt database
corruption on ARM.
