nfs: don't use intents for checking atomic open
is_atomic_open() is now only used by nfs4_lookup_revalidate() to check whether

It does a racy check for mount read-onlyness and falls back to normal
revalidation if the open would fail. This makes little sense now that this

vfs: add i_op->atomic_open()
Add a new inode operation which is called on the last component of an open.
Using this the filesystem can look up, possibly create and open the file in one
atomic operation. If it cannot perform this (e.g. the file type turned out to
be wrong) it may signal this by returning NULL instead of an open struct file
pointer.
i_op->atomic_open() is only called if the last component is negative or needs
lookup. Handling cached positive dentries here doesn't add much value: these
can be opened using f_op->open(). If the cached file turns out to be invalid,
the open can be retried, this time using ->atomic_open() with a fresh dentry.
For now leave the old way of using open intents in lookup and revalidate in
place. This will be removed once all the users are converted.
David Howells noticed that if ->atomic_open() opens the file but does not create
it, handle_truncate() will be called on it even if it is not a regular file.

affs: get rid of affs_sync_super
This patch makes affs stop using the VFS '->write_super()' method along with
the 's_dirt' superblock flag, because they are on their way out.
The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the
'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and
writes out all dirty superblocks using the '->write_super()' call-back. But the
problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every
5 seconds, even if there are no diry superblocks, or there are no client
file-systems which would need this (e.g., btrfs does not use
'->write_super()'). So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to make
file-systems to stop using the '->write_super()' VFS service, and then remove
it together with the kernel thread.

affs: stop setting bm_flags
AFFS stores values '1' and '2' in 'bm_flags', and I fail to see any logic when
it prefers one or another. AFFS writes '1' only from '->put_super()', while
'->sync_fs()' and '->write_super()' store value '2'. So on the first glance,
it looks like we want to have '1' if we unmount. However, this does not really
happen in these cases:
1. superblock is written via 'write_super()' then we unmount;
2. we re-mount R/O, then unmount.
which are quite typical.
I could not find good documentation describing this field, except of one random
piece of documentation in the internet which says that -1 means that the root
block is valid, which is not consistent with what we have in the Linux AFFS
driver.
Jan Kara commented on this: "I have some vague recollection that on Amiga
boolean was usually encoded as: 0 == false, ~0 == -1 == true. But it has been
ages..."
Thus, my conclusion is that value of '1' is as good as value of '2' and we can
just always use '2'. An Jan Kara suggested to go further: "generally bm_flags
handling looks strange. If they are 0, we mount fs read only and thus cannot
change them. If they are != 0, we write 2 there. So IMHO if you just removed
bm_flags setting, nothing will really happen."
So this patch removes the bm_flags setting completely. This makes the "clean"
argument of the 'affs_commit_super()' function unneeded, so it is also removed.

only the case when vsyscall emulation is in use (vsyscall=emulate is the

This patch emulates system call entry inside a vsyscall=emulate by
populating regs->ax and regs->orig_ax with the system call number prior

block: fix infinite loop in __getblk_slow
Commit
080399aaaf35 ("block: don't mark buffers beyond end of disk as
mapped") exposed a bug in __getblk_slow that causes mount to hang as it
loops infinitely waiting for a buffer that lies beyond the end of the
disk to become uptodate.
The problem was initially reported by Torsten Hilbrich here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/18/54
and also reported independently here:
http://www.sysresccd.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4511
and then Richard W.M. Jones and Marcos Mello noted a few separate
bugzillas also associated with the same issue. This patch has been
confirmed to fix:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835019
The main problem is here, in __getblk_slow:
for (;;) {
struct buffer_head * bh;
int ret;
bh = __find_get_block(bdev, block, size);
if (bh)
return bh;
ret = grow_buffers(bdev, block, size);
if (ret < 0)
return NULL;
if (ret == 0)
free_more_memory();
}
__find_get_block does not find the block, since it will not be marked as
mapped, and so grow_buffers is called to fill in the buffers for the
associated page. I believe the for (;;) loop is there primarily to
retry in the case of memory pressure keeping grow_buffers from
succeeding. However, we also continue to loop for other cases, like the
block lying beond the end of the disk. So, the fix I came up with is to
only loop when grow_buffers fails due to memory allocation issues
(return value of 0).
The attached patch was tested by myself, Torsten, and Rich, and was
found to resolve the problem in call cases.

memblock: free allocated memblock_reserved_regions later
memblock_free_reserved_regions() calls memblock_free(), but
memblock_free() would double reserved.regions too, so we could free the
old range for reserved.regions.
Also tj said there is another bug which could be related to this.
| I don't think we're saving any noticeable
| amount by doing this "free - give it to page allocator - reserve
| again" dancing. We should just allocate regions aligned to page
| boundaries and free them later when memblock is no longer in use.
in that case, when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, will get panic:
memblock_free: [0x0000102febc080-0x0000102febf080] memblock_free_reserved_regions+0x37/0x39

See the discussion at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/13/469
So try to allocate with PAGE_SIZE alignment and free it later.

mm: sparse: fix usemap allocation above node descriptor section
After commit
f5bf18fa22f8 ("bootmem/sparsemem: remove limit constraint
in alloc_bootmem_section"), usemap allocations may easily be placed
outside the optimal section that holds the node descriptor, even if
there is space available in that section. This results in unnecessary
hotplug dependencies that need to have the node unplugged before the
section holding the usemap.
The reason is that the bootmem allocator doesn't guarantee a linear
search starting from the passed allocation goal but may start out at a
much higher address absent an upper limit.
Fix this by trying the allocation with the limit at the section end,
then retry without if that fails. This keeps the fix from
f5bf18fa22f8
of not panicking if the allocation does not fit in the section, but
still makes sure to try to stay within the section at first.
