Ingo Oeser pointed out that because current expands to an inline function
it is more space efficient and somewhat faster to simply keep a cached copy
of current in another variable. This patch implements that for the
de_thread function.

In de_thread we move pids from one process to another, a rather ugly case.
The function transfer_pid makes it clear what we are doing, and makes the
action atomic. This is useful we ever want to atomically traverse the
process group and session lists, in a rcu safe manner.
Even if the atomic properties this change should be a win as transfer_pid
should be less code to execute than executing both attach_pid and
detach_pid, and this should make de_thread slightly smaller as only a
single function call needs to be emitted. The only downside is that the
code might be slower to execute as the odds are against transfer_pid being
in cache.

The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).
This patch:
The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

For a long time now I have had a problem with not being able to return a
lookup failure on an existsing directory. In autofs this corresponds to a
mount failure on a autofs managed mount entry that is browsable (and so the
mount point directory exists).
While this problem has been present for a long time I've avoided resolving
it because it was not very visible. But now that autofs v5 has "mount and
expire on demand" of nested multiple mounts, such as is found when mounting
an export list from a server, solving the problem cannot be avoided any
longer.
I've tried very hard to find a way to do this entirely within the autofs4
module but have not been able to find a satisfactory way to achieve it.
So, I need to propose a change to the VFS.

SWsoft Virtuozzo/OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered that ext3 error
behavior was broken in linux kernels since 2.5.x versions by the following
patch:
2002/10/31 02:15:26-05:00 tytso@snap.thunk.org
Default mount options from superblock for ext2/3 filesystems
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@3dc0d88eKbV9ivV4ptRNM8fBuA3JBQ
In case ext3 file system is mounted with errors=continue
(EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE) errors should be ignored when possible. However at
present in case of any error kernel aborts journal and remounts filesystem
to read-only. Such behavior was hit number of times and noted to differ
from that of 2.4.x kernels.
This patch fixes this:
- do nothing in case of EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE,
- set EXT3_MOUNT_ABORT and call journal_abort() in all other cases
- panic() should be called after ext3_commit_super() to save
sb marked as EXT3_ERROR_FS

These are a few places I've found in jbd that look like they may not be
16T-safe, or consistent with the use of unsigned longs for block
containers. Problems here would be somewhat hard to hit, would require
journal blocks past the 8T boundary, which would not be terribly common.
Still, should fix.
(some of these have come from the ext4 work on jbd as well).
I think there's one more possibility that the wrap() function may not be
safe IF your last block in the journal butts right up against the 232 block
boundary, but that seems like a VERY remote possibility, and I'm not
worrying about it at this point.

I need to do some actual IO testing now, but this gets things mounting for
a 16T ext3 filesystem. (patched up e2fsprogs is needed too, I'll send that
off the kernel list)
This patch fixes these issues in the kernel:
o sbi->s_groups_count overflows in ext3_fill_super()
sbi->s_groups_count = (le32_to_cpu(es->s_blocks_count) -
le32_to_cpu(es->s_first_data_block) +
EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) - 1) /
EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb);
at 16T, s_blocks_count is already maxed out; adding
EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) overflows it and groups_count comes out to 0.
Not really what we want, and causes a failed mount.
Feel free to check my math (actually, please do!), but changing it this
way should work & avoid the overflow:
(A + B - 1)/B changed to: ((A - 1)/B) + 1
o ext3_check_descriptors() overflows range checks
ext3_check_descriptors() iterates over all block groups making sure
that various bits are within the right block ranges... on the last pass
through, it is checking the error case
[item] >= block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)
where "block" is the first block in the last block group. The last
block in this group (and the last one that will fit in 32 bits) is block
+ EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)- 1. block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) wraps
back around to 0.
so, make things clearer with "first_block" and "last_block" where those
are first and last, inclusive, and use <, > rather than <, >=.
Finally, the last block group may be smaller than the rest, so account
for this on the last pass through: last_block = sb->s_blocks_count - 1;
(a similar patch could be done for ext2; does anyone in their right mind
use ext2 at 16T? I'll send an ext2 patch doing the same thing if that's
warranted)

Tracking of dirty pages in shared writeable mmap()s.
The idea is simple: write protect clean shared writeable pages, catch the
write-fault, make writeable and set dirty. On page write-back clean all the
PTE dirty bits and write protect them once again.
The implementation is a tad harder, mainly because the default
backing_dev_info capabilities were too loosely maintained. Hence it is not
enough to test the backing_dev_info for cap_account_dirty.
The current heuristic is as follows, a VMA is eligible when:
- its shared writeable
(vm_flags & (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)) == (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)
- it is not a 'special' mapping
(vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_INSERTPAGE)) == 0
- the backing_dev_info is cap_account_dirty
mapping_cap_account_dirty(vma->vm_file->f_mapping)
- f_op->mmap() didn't change the default page protection
Page from remap_pfn_range() are explicitly excluded because their COW
semantics are already horrid enough (see vm_normal_page() in do_wp_page()) and
because they don't have a backing store anyway.
mprotect() is taught about the new behaviour as well. However it overrides
the last condition.
Cleaning the pages on write-back is done with page_mkclean() a new rmap call.
It can be called on any page, but is currently only implemented for mapped
pages, if the page is found the be of a VMA that accounts dirty pages it will
also wrprotect the PTE.
Finally, in fs/buffers.c:try_to_free_buffers(); remove clear_page_dirty() from
under ->private_lock. This seems to be safe, since ->private_lock is used to
serialize access to the buffers, not the page itself. This is needed because
clear_page_dirty() will call into page_mkclean() and would thereby violate
locking order.

Original commit code assumes, that when a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is
locked, it is being written to disk. But this is not true and hence it can
lead to a potential data loss on crash. Also the code didn't count with
the fact that journal_dirty_data() can steal buffers from committing
transaction and hence could write buffers that no longer belong to the
committing transaction. Finally it could possibly happen that we tried
writing out one buffer several times.
The patch below tries to solve these problems by a complete rewrite of the
data commit code. We go through buffers on t_sync_datalist, lock buffers
needing write out and store them in an array. Buffers are also immediately
refiled to BJ_Locked list or unfiled (if the write out is completed). When
the array is full or we have to block on buffer lock, we submit all
accumulated buffers for IO.
