NFS needs to be able to release objects that are stored in the page
cache once the page itself is no longer visible from the page cache.

This patch adds a callback to the address space operations that allows
filesystems to perform page cleanups once the page has been removed
from the page cache.

Salman Qazi describes the following radix-tree bug:

In the following case, we get can get a deadlock:

0.  The radix tree contains two items, one has the index 0.
1.  The reader (in this case find_get_pages) takes the rcu_read_lock.
2.  The reader acquires slot(s) for item(s) including the index 0 item.
3.  The non-zero index item is deleted, and as a consequence the other item is
    moved to the root of the tree. The place where it used to be is queued for
    deletion after the readers finish.
3b. The zero item is deleted, removing it from the direct slot, it remains in
    the rcu-delayed indirect node.
4.  The reader looks at the index 0 slot, and finds that the page has 0 ref
    count
5.  The reader looks at it again, hoping that the item will either be freed or
    the ref count will increase. This never happens, as the slot it is looking
    at will never be updated. Also, this slot can never be reclaimed because
    the reader is holding rcu_read_lock and is in an infinite loop.

The fix is to re-use the same "indirect" pointer case that requires a slot
lookup retry into a general "retry the lookup" bit.

<title>mm/vfs: revalidate page-&gt;mapping in do_generic_file_read()</title>

<content type='text'>
70 hours into some stress tests of a 2.6.32-based enterprise kernel, we
ran into a NULL dereference in here:

	int block_is_partially_uptodate(struct page *page, read_descriptor_t *desc,
	                                        unsigned long from)
	{
----&gt;		struct inode *inode = page-&gt;mapping-&gt;host;

It looks like page-&gt;mapping was the culprit.  (xmon trace is below).
After closer examination, I realized that do_generic_file_read() does a
find_get_page(), and eventually locks the page before calling
block_is_partially_uptodate().  However, it doesn't revalidate the
page-&gt;mapping after the page is locked.  So, there's a small window
between the find_get_page() and -&gt;is_partially_uptodate() where the page
could get truncated and page-&gt;mapping cleared.

We _have_ a reference, so it can't get reclaimed, but it certainly
can be truncated.

I think the correct thing is to check page-&gt;mapping after the
trylock_page(), and jump out if it got truncated.  This patch has been
running in the test environment for a month or so now, and we have not
seen this bug pop up again.

'end' shadows earlier one and is not necessary at all.  Remove it and use
'pos' instead.  This removes following sparse warnings:

<title>mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transfer</title>

<id>d065bd810b6deb67d4897a14bfe21f8eb526ba99</id>
<content type='text'>
This change reduces mmap_sem hold times that are caused by waiting for
disk transfers when accessing file mapped VMAs.

It introduces the VM_FAULT_ALLOW_RETRY flag, which indicates that the call
site wants mmap_sem to be released if blocking on a pending disk transfer.
In that case, filemap_fault() returns the VM_FAULT_RETRY status bit and
do_page_fault() will then re-acquire mmap_sem and retry the page fault.

It is expected that the retry will hit the same page which will now be
cached, and thus it will complete with a low mmap_sem hold time.

Tests:

- microbenchmark: thread A mmaps a large file and does random read accesses
  to the mmaped area - achieves about 55 iterations/s. Thread B does
  mmap/munmap in a loop at a separate location - achieves 55 iterations/s
  before, 15000 iterations/s after.

- We are seeing related effects in some applications in house, which show
  significant performance regressions when running without this change.

Introduce a single location where filemap_fault() locks the desired page.
There used to be two such places, depending if the initial find_get_page()
was successful or not.
