<title>fs: push rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() to filesystems</title>

There's no reason to call rcu_barrier() on every
deactivate_locked_super().  We only need to make sure that all delayed rcu
free inodes are flushed before we destroy related cache.

Removing rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() affects some fast
paths.  E.g.  on my machine exit_group() of a last process in IPC
namespace takes 0.07538s.  rcu_barrier() takes 0.05188s of that time.

<title>ceph: let path portion of mount "device" be optional</title>

<id>c98f533c9497e285109a047bfb955d683f33f7e4</id>
<content type='text'>
A recent change to /sbin/mountall causes any trailing '/' character
in the "device" (or fs_spec) field in /etc/fstab to be stripped.  As
a result, an entry for a ceph mount that intends to mount the root
of the name space ends up with now path portion, and the ceph mount
option processing code rejects this.

That is, an entry in /etc/fstab like:
    cephserver:port:/ /mnt ceph defaults 0 0
provides to the ceph code just "cephserver:port:" as the "device,"
and that gets rejected.

Although this is a bug in /sbin/mountall, we can have the ceph mount
code support an empty/nonexistent path, interpreting it to mean the
root of the name space.

RFC 5952 offers recommendations for how to express IPv6 addresses,
and recommends the usage found in RFC 3986 (which specifies the
format for URI's) for representing both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses that
include port numbers.  (See in particular the definition of
"authority" found in the Appendix of RFC 3986.)

According to those standards, no host specification will ever
contain a '/' character.  As a result, it is sufficient to scan a
provided "device" from an /etc/fstab entry for the first '/'
character, and if it's found, treat that as the beginning of the
path.  If no '/' character is present, we can treat the entire
string as the monitor host specification(s), and assume the path
to be the root of the name space.  We'll still require a ':' to
separate the host portion from the (possibly empty) path portion.

This means that we can more formally define how ceph will interpret
the "device" it's provided when processing a mount request:

    "device" will look like:
        &lt;server_spec&gt;[,&lt;server_spec&gt;...]:[&lt;path&gt;]
    where
        &lt;server_spec&gt; is &lt;ip&gt;[:&lt;port&gt;]
        &lt;path&gt; is optional, but if present must begin with '/'

This addresses http://tracker.newdream.net/issues/2919

 "Lots of stuff this time around:

   - lots of cleanup and refactoring in the libceph messenger code, and
     many hard to hit races and bugs closed as a result.
   - lots of cleanup and refactoring in the rbd code from Alex Elder,
     mostly in preparation for the layering functionality that will be
     coming in 3.7.
   - some misc rbd cleanups from Josh Durgin that are finally going
     upstream
   - support for CRUSH tunables (used by newer clusters to improve the
     data placement)
   - some cleanup in our use of d_parent that Al brought up a while back
   - a random collection of fixes across the tree

  There is another patch coming that fixes up our -&gt;atomic_open()
  behavior, but I'm going to hammer on it a bit more before sending it."

 "Alex has been busy.  There are a range of rbd and libceph cleanups,

  There's a patch from Amon Ott to make inos behave a bit better on
  32-bit boxes, some decode check fixes from Xi Wang, and network
  throttling fix from Jim Schutt, and a couple RBD fixes from Josh
  Durgin.

Many ceph-related Boolean options offer the ability to both enable
and disable a feature.  For all those that don't offer this, add
a new option so that they do.

Note that ceph_show_options()--which reports mount options currently
in effect--only reports the option if it is different from the
default value.

ceph_parse_options() takes the address of a pointer as an argument
and uses it to return the address of an allocated structure if
successful.  With this interface is not evident at call sites that
the pointer is always initialized.  Change the interface to return
the address instead (or a pointer-coded error code) to make the
validity of the returned pointer obvious.

All names defined in the directory and file virtual extended
attribute tables are constant, and the size of each is known at
compile time.  So there's no need to compute their length every
time any file's attribute is listed.

Record the length of each string and use it when needed to determine
the space need to represent them.  In addition, compute the
aggregate size of strings in each table just once at initialization
time.
