FS-Cache: Make kAFS use FS-Cache

2009-04-03T15:42:41+00:00

The attached patch makes the kAFS filesystem in fs/afs/ use FS-Cache, and
through it any attached caches.  The kAFS filesystem will use caching
automatically if it's available.

fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix

2009-01-04T21:33:20+00:00

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened.  They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim.  This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.

The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called.  It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock.  The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.

Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS.  Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function.  Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).

This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg.  ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

afs: convert to new aops

2008-10-16T18:21:48+00:00

Cannot assume writes will fully complete, so this conversion goes the easy
way and always brings the page uptodate before the write.

mm: rename page trylock

2008-08-05T04:31:34+00:00

Converting page lock to new locking bitops requires a change of page flag
operation naming, so we might as well convert it to something nicer
(!TestSetPageLocked_Lock => trylock_page, SetPageLocked => set_page_locked).

This also facilitates lockdeping of page lock.

Drop some headers from mm.h

2007-10-17T15:42:55+00:00

mm.h doesn't use directly anything from mutex.h and backing-dev.h, so
remove them and add them back to files which need them.

AFS: Fix afs_prepare_write()

2007-05-17T04:19:15+00:00

afs_prepare_write() should not mark a page up to date if it only partially
fills it in, in expectation of the caller filling in the rest prior to calling
commit_write().  commit_write(), however, should mark the page up to date.

AFS: fix interminable loop in afs_write_back_from_locked_page()

2007-05-11T15:29:32+00:00

Following bug was uncovered by compiling with '-W' flag:

  CC [M]  fs/afs/write.o
fs/afs/write.c: In function âafs_write_back_from_locked_pageâ:
fs/afs/write.c:398: warning: comparison of unsigned expression >= 0 is always true

Loop variable 'n' is unsigned, so wraps around happily as far as I can
see. Trival fix attached (compile tested only).

AFS: further write support fixes

2007-05-10T16:26:52+00:00

Further fixes for AFS write support:

 (1) The afs_send_pages() outer loop must do an extra iteration if it ends
     with 'first == last' because 'last' is inclusive in the page set
     otherwise it fails to send the last page and complete the RxRPC op under
     some circumstances.

 (2) Similarly, the outer loop in afs_pages_written_back() must also do an
     extra iteration if it ends with 'first == last', otherwise it fails to
     clear PG_writeback on the last page under some circumstances.

AFS: write support fixes

2007-05-10T16:26:52+00:00

AFS write support fixes:

 (1) Support large files using the 64-bit file access operations if available
     on the server.

 (2) Use kmap_atomic() rather than kmap() in afs_prepare_page().

 (3) Don't do stuff in afs_writepage() that's done by the caller.
