Currently if len argument in btrfs_ioctl_fitrim() is smaller than
one FSB we will continue and finally return 0 bytes discarded.
However if the length to discard is smaller then file system block
we should really return EINVAL.

<content type='text'>
In order to accomodate retrying path-based syscalls, we need to add a
new "type" argument to audit_inode_child. This will tell us whether
we're looking for a child entry that represents a create or a delete.

If we find a parent, don't automatically assume that we need to create a
new entry. Instead, use the information we have to try to find an
existing entry first. Update it if one is found and create a new one if
not.

Most of the callers get called with an inode and dentry in the reverse
order. The compiler then has to reshuffle the arg registers and/or
stack in order to pass them on to audit_inode_child.

Reverse those arguments for a micro-optimization.

So far the return code of barrier_all_devices() is ignored, which
means that errors are ignored. The result can be a corrupt
filesystem which is not consistent.
This commit adds code to evaluate the return code of
barrier_all_devices(). The normal btrfs_error() mechanism is used to
switch the filesystem into read-only mode when errors are detected.

In order to decide whether barrier_all_devices() should return
error or success, the number of disks that are allowed to fail the
barrier submission is calculated. This calculation accounts for the
worst RAID level of metadata, system and data. If single, dup or
RAID0 is in use, a single disk error is already considered to be
fatal. Otherwise a single disk error is tolerated.

The calculation of the number of disks that are tolerated to fail
the barrier operation is performed when the filesystem gets mounted,
when a balance operation is started and finished, and when devices
are added or removed.

Btrfs uses inclusive range end for lock_extent(), unlock_extent() and
related functions, so we made off-by-one errors in file clone.

This fixes it and also fixes some style problems.

<title>btrfs: allow setting NOCOW for a zero sized file via ioctl</title>

Hi,

the patch si simple, but it has user visible impact and I'm not quite sure how
to resolve it.

In short, $subj says it, chattr -C supports it and we want to use it.

The conditions that acutally allow to change the NOCOW flag are clear. What if
I try to set the flag on a file that is not empty? Options:

1) whole ioctl will fail, EINVAL
2.1) ioctl will succeed, the NOCOW flag will be silently removed, but the file
     will stay COW-ed and checksummed
2.2) ioctl will succeed, flag will not be removed and a syslog message will
     warn that the COW flag has not been changed
2.2.1) dtto, no syslog message

Man page of chattr states that

 "If it is set on a file which already has data blocks, it is undefined when
 the blocks assigned to the file will be fully stable."

Yes, it's undefined and with current implementation it'll never happen. So from
this end, the user cannot expect anything. I'm trying to find a reasonable
behaviour, so that a command like 'chattr -R -aijS +C' to tweak a broad set of
flags in a deep directory does not fail unnecessarily and does not pollute the
log.

My personal preference is 2.2.1, but my dev's oppinion is skewed, not counting
the fact that I know the code and otherwise would look there before consulting
the documentation.

The patch implements 2.2.1.

It's safe to turn off checksums for a zero sized file.

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/18030

"We cannot switch on NODATASUM for a file that already has extents that
are checksummed. The invariant here is that either all the extents or
none are checksummed.

Theoretically it's possible to add/remove all checksums from a given
file, but it's a potentially longtime operation, the file has to be in
some intermediate state where the checksums partially exist but have to
be ignored (for the csum-&gt;nocsum) until the file is fully converted,
this brings more special cases to extent handling, it has to survive
power failure and remain consistent, and probably needs to be restarted
after next mount."

Pull vfs update from Al Viro:

 - big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
   that is moved to fs/file.c

   (BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c.  As it is,
   we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
   file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
   are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
   struct file we used to have way back).

   A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
   disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
   doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore.  A bunch of
   relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
   leak.

   switch of fdinfo to seq_file.

Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly

interface ("take descriptor handling from sock_alloc_file() to callers"
vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of

Pull vfs update from Al Viro:

 - big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
   that is moved to fs/file.c

   (BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c.  As it is,
   we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
   file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
   are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
   struct file we used to have way back).

   A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
   disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
   doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore.  A bunch of
   relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
   leak.
