Pull GFS2 fixes from Steven Whitehouse:
 "Here are three GFS2 fixes for the current kernel tree.  These are all
  related to the block reservation code which was added at the merge
  window.  That code will be getting an update at the forthcoming merge
  window too.  In the mean time though there are a few smaller issues
  which should be fixed.

  The first patch resolves an issue with write sizes of greater than 32
  bits with the size hinting code.  The second ensures that the
  allocation data structure is initialised when using xattrs and the
  third takes into account allocations which may have been made by other
  nodes which affect a reservation on the local node."

GFS2: Take account of blockages when using reserved blocks

2012-09-13T09:30:58+00:00

The claim_reserved_blks() function was not taking account of
the possibility of "blockages" while performing allocation.
This can be caused by another node allocating something in
the same extent which has been reserved locally.

This patch tests for this condition and then skips the remainder
of the reservation in this case. This is a relatively rare event,
so that it should not affect the general performance improvement
which the block reservations provide.

The claim_reserved_blks() function also appears not to be able
to deal with reservations which cross bitmap boundaries, but
that can be dealt with in a future patch since we don't generate
boundary crossing reservations currently.

GFS2: Fix missing allocation data for set/remove xattr

2012-09-13T09:30:34+00:00

These entry points were missed in the original patch to allocate
this data structure.

GFS2: Make write size hinting code common

2012-09-13T09:30:00+00:00

This collects up the write size hinting code which is used by the
block reservation subsystem into a single function. At the same
time this also corrects the rounding for this calculation.

gfs2: nuke pdflush from comments

2012-08-04T08:15:40+00:00

The pdflush thread is long gone, so this patch removes references to pdflush
from gfs comments.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2012-08-01T17:26:23+00:00

Pull second vfs pile from Al Viro:
 "The stuff in there: fsfreeze deadlock fixes by Jan (essentially, the
  deadlock reproduced by xfstests 068), symlink and hardlink restriction
  patches, plus assorted cleanups and fixes.

  Note that another fsfreeze deadlock (emergency thaw one) is *not*
  dealt with - the series by Fernando conflicts a lot with Jan's, breaks
  userland ABI (FIFREEZE semantics gets changed) and trades the deadlock
  for massive vfsmount leak; this is going to be handled next cycle.
  There probably will be another pull request, but that stuff won't be
  in it."

Fix up trivial conflicts due to unrelated changes next to each other in
drivers/{staging/gdm72xx/usb_boot.c, usb/gadget/storage_common.c}

gfs2: Convert to new freezing mechanism

2012-07-31T05:45:50+00:00

We update gfs2_page_mkwrite() to use new freeze protection and the transaction
code to use freeze protection while the transaction is running. That is needed
to stop iput() of unlinked file from modifying the filesystem. The rest is
handled by the generic code.

quota: Move quota syncing to ->sync_fs method

2012-07-22T19:58:34+00:00

Since the moment writes to quota files are using block device page cache and
space for quota structures is reserved at the moment they are first accessed we
have no reason to sync quota before inode writeback. In fact this order is now
only harmful since quota information can easily change during inode writeback
(either because conversion of delayed-allocated extents or simply because of
allocation of new blocks for simple filesystems not using page_mkwrite).

So move syncing of quota information after writeback of inodes into ->sync_fs
method. This way we do not have to use ->quota_sync callback which is primarily
intended for use by quotactl syscall anyway and we get rid of calling
->sync_fs() twice unnecessarily. We skip quota syncing for OCFS2 since it does
proper quota journalling in all cases (unlike ext3, ext4, and reiserfs which
also support legacy non-journalled quotas) and thus there are no dirty quota
structures.
