<title>mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros</title>

<content type='text'>
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Pull xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
 "There's quite a lot in this request, and there's some cross-over with
  ext4, dax and quota code due to the nature of the changes being made.

  As for the rest of the XFS changes, there are lots of little things
  all over the place, which add up to a lot of changes in the end.

  The major changes are that we've reduced the size of the struct
  xfs_inode by ~100 bytes (gives an inode cache footprint reduction of
  &gt;10%), the writepage code now only does a single set of mapping tree
  lockups so uses less CPU, delayed allocation reservations won't
  overrun under random write loads anymore, and we added compile time
  verification for on-disk structure sizes so we find out when a commit
  or platform/compiler change breaks the on disk structure as early as
  possible.

  Change summary:

   - error propagation for direct IO failures fixes for both XFS and
     ext4
   - new quota interfaces and XFS implementation for iterating all the
     quota IDs in the filesystem
   - locking fixes for real-time device extent allocation
   - reduction of duplicate information in the xfs and vfs inode, saving
     roughly 100 bytes of memory per cached inode.
   - buffer flag cleanup
   - rework of the writepage code to use the generic write clustering
     mechanisms
   - several fixes for inode flag based DAX enablement
   - rework of remount option parsing
   - compile time verification of on-disk format structure sizes
   - delayed allocation reservation overrun fixes
   - lots of little error handling fixes
   - small memory leak fixes
   - enable xfsaild freezing again"

* tag 'xfs-for-linus-4.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs: (66 commits)
  xfs: always set rvalp in xfs_dir2_node_trim_free
  xfs: ensure committed is initialized in xfs_trans_roll
  xfs: borrow indirect blocks from freed extent when available

dax_pfn_mkwrite() previously wasn't checking the return value of the
call to dax_radix_entry(), which was a mistake.

Instead, capture this return value and return the appropriate VM_FAULT_

<title>dax: move writeback calls into the filesystems</title>

Previously calls to dax_writeback_mapping_range() for all DAX filesystems
(ext2, ext4 &amp; xfs) were centralized in filemap_write_and_wait_range().

dax_writeback_mapping_range() needs a struct block_device, and it used
to get that from inode-&gt;i_sb-&gt;s_bdev.  This is correct for normal inodes
mounted on ext2, ext4 and XFS filesystems, but is incorrect for DAX raw
block devices and for XFS real-time files.

Instead, call dax_writeback_mapping_range() directly from the filesystem
-&gt;writepages function so that it can supply us with a valid block
device.  This also fixes DAX code to properly flush caches in response
to sync(2).

dax_clear_blocks() needs a valid struct block_device and previously it
was using inode-&gt;i_sb-&gt;s_bdev in all cases.  This is correct for normal
inodes on mounted ext2, ext4 and XFS filesystems, but is incorrect for
DAX raw block devices and for XFS real-time devices.

Instead, rename dax_clear_blocks() to dax_clear_sectors(), and change
its arguments to take a bdev and a sector instead of an inode and a
block.  This better reflects what the function does, and it allows the
filesystem and raw block device code to pass in an appropriate struct
block_device.

This way we can pass back errors to the file system, and allow for
cleanup required for all direct I/O invocations.

Also allow the -&gt;end_io handlers to return errors on their own, so that
I/O completion errors can be passed on to the callers.

Avoid populating pagecache when the block device is in DAX mode.
Otherwise these page cache entries collide with the fsync/msync
implementation and break data durability guarantees.

Pull final vfs updates from Al Viro:

 - The -&gt;i_mutex wrappers (with small prereq in lustre)

 - a fix for too early freeing of symlink bodies on shmem (they need to
   be RCU-delayed) (-stable fodder)

 - followup to dedupe stuff merged this cycle

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  vfs: abort dedupe loop if fatal signals are pending
  make sure that freeing shmem fast symlinks is RCU-delayed
  wrappers for -&gt;i_mutex access
  lustre: remove unused declaration
