Pull more xfs updates from Ben Myers:
 "Here are a fix for xfs_fsr, a cleanup in bulkstat, a cleanup in
  xfs_open_by_handle, updated mount options documentation, a cleanup in
  xfs_bmapi_write, a fix for the size of dquot log reservations, a fix
  for sgid inheritance when acls are in use, a fix for cleaning up
  quotainfo structures, and some more of the work which allows group and
  project quotas to be used together.

  We had a few more in this last quota category that we might have liked
  to get in, but it looks there are still a few items that need to be
  addressed.

   - fix for xfs_fsr returning -EINVAL
   - cleanup in xfs_bulkstat
   - cleanup in xfs_open_by_handle
   - update mount options documentation
   - clean up local format handling in xfs_bmapi_write
   - fix dquot log reservations which were too small
   - fix sgid inheritance for subdirectories when default acls are in use
   - add project quota fields to various structures
   - fix teardown of quotainfo structures when quotas are turned off"

* tag 'for-linus-v3.11-rc1-2' of git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/xfs:

<title>mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes tracking</title>
<updated>2013-07-03T23:07:26+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=0f8975ec4db2c8b5bd111b211292ca9be0feb6b8'/>
<id>0f8975ec4db2c8b5bd111b211292ca9be0feb6b8</id>
<content type='text'>
The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task
writes to.  In order to do this tracking one should

  1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 &gt; /proc/PID/clear_refs)
  2. Wait some time.
  3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries)

To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the
soft-dirty bit is.  Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a
page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the
soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE.

Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after
the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed
fast.  This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory,
and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back
writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE.

Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked
with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies
the virtual memory at mremap's new address.

Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o:
 "Lots of bug fixes, cleanups and optimizations.  In the bug fixes
  category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the
  block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks
  on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or
  ia64 systems.)

  In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was
  significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc
  file systems.  In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the
  write submission code path.  We also improved error checking and added
  a few sanity checks.

  In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve
  mention.  The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for
  nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode.  This allows writes to be
  submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of
  being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then
  relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block
  queue).  Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was
  introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the
  i_es_lru spinlock.  Other optimizations include some changes to reduce
  CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily."
