<content type='text'>
The nfs_commit_file for NFSv4.2's COPY operation goes through
the commit path for normal WRITE, but without increase nrequests,
so, the nrequests decreased in nfs_commit_release_pages is fault.
After that, the nrequests will be wrong.

Since commit 4f52b6bb ("NFS: Don't call COMMIT in -&gt;releasepage()"),
no tasks wait on PagePrivate, so the wake introduced in commit 95905446
("NFS: avoid deadlocks with loop-back mounted NFS filesystems.") can
be removed.

this field is not used in any important way and probably should
have been removed by

Commit: 8003d3c4aaa5 ("nfs4: treat lock owners as opaque values")

which removed the pid argument from nfs4_get_lock_state.

Except in unusual and uninteresting cases, two threads with the same
-&gt;tgid will have the same -&gt;files pointer, so keeping them both
for comparison brings no benefit.

After using the offset of the swap entry as the key of the swap cache,
the page_index() becomes exactly same as page_file_index().  So the
page_file_index() is removed and the callers are changed to use
page_index() instead.

Pull NFS client updates from Trond Myklebust:
 "Highlights include:

  Stable bugfixes:
   - nfs: don't create zero-length requests

   - several LAYOUTGET bugfixes

  Features:
   - several performance related features

   - more aggressive caching when we can rely on close-to-open
     cache consistency

   - remove serialisation of O_DIRECT reads and writes

   - optimise several code paths to not flush to disk unnecessarily.

     However allow for the idiosyncracies of pNFS for those layout
     types that need to issue a LAYOUTCOMMIT before the metadata can
     be updated on the server.

   - SUNRPC updates to the client data receive path

   - pNFS/SCSI support RH/Fedora dm-mpath device nodes

   - pNFS files/flexfiles can now use unprivileged ports when
     the generic NFS mount options allow it.

  Bugfixes:
   - Don't use RDMA direct data placement together with data
     integrity or privacy security flavours

   - Remove the RDMA ALLPHYSICAL memory registration mode as
     it has potential security holes.

   - Several layout recall fixes to improve NFSv4.1 protocol
     compliance.

   - Fix an Oops in the pNFS files and flexfiles connection
     setup to the DS

   - Allow retry of operations that used a returned delegation
      stateid

   - Don't mark the inode as revalidated if a LAYOUTCOMMIT is
     outstanding

   - Fix writeback races in nfs4_copy_range() and
     nfs42_proc_deallocate()"

* tag 'nfs-for-4.8-1' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/linux-nfs: (104 commits)
  pNFS: Actively set attributes as invalid if LAYOUTCOMMIT is outstanding
  NFSv4: Clean up lookup of SECINFO_NO_NAME
  NFSv4.2: Fix warning "variable ‘stateids’ set but not used"
  NFSv4: Fix warning "no previous prototype for ‘nfs4_listxattr’"
  SUNRPC: Fix a compiler warning in fs/nfs/clnt.c
  pNFS: Remove redundant smp_mb() from pnfs_init_lseg()
  pNFS: Cleanup - do layout segment initialisation in one place
  pNFS: Remove redundant stateid invalidation
  pNFS: Remove redundant pnfs_mark_layout_returned_if_empty()
  pNFS: Clear the layout metadata if the server changed the layout stateid
  pNFS: Cleanup - don't open code pnfs_mark_layout_stateid_invalid()
  NFS: pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return() should match the layout sequence id
  pNFS: Do not set plh_return_seq for non-callback related layoutreturns
  pNFS: Ensure layoutreturn acts as a completion for layout callbacks
  pNFS: Fix CB_LAYOUTRECALL stateid verification
  pNFS: Always update the layout barrier seqid on LAYOUTGET
  pNFS: Always update the layout stateid if NFS_LAYOUT_INVALID_STID is set
  pNFS: Clear the layout return tracking on layout reinitialisation
  pNFS: LAYOUTRETURN should only update the stateid if the layout is valid
  nfs: don't create zero-length requests

<title>mm: move most file-based accounting to the node</title>

<id>11fb998986a72aa7e997d96d63d52582a01228c5</id>

There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages
being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are
accounted on the zone.  This can be coped with to some extent but it's
confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted.  Due to
throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is
still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.
