Add functions to add inode to orphan dir and remove inode in orphan dir.
Here we do not call ocfs2_prepare_orphan_dir and ocfs2_orphan_add
directly.  Because append O_DIRECT will add inode to orphan two and may
result in more than one orphan entry for the same inode.

'args' are always set for ocfs2_read_locked_inode() and brelse() checks
whether bh is NULL.  So the test (args &amp;&amp; bh) is unnecessary (plus the
args part is really confusing anyway).  Remove it.

<title>mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache</title>

Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.

Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

<title>ocfs2: avoid blocking in ocfs2_mark_lockres_freeing() in downconvert thread</title>

If we are dropping last inode reference from downconvert thread, we will
end up calling ocfs2_mark_lockres_freeing() which can block if the lock
we are freeing is queued thus creating an A-A deadlock.  Luckily, since
we are the downconvert thread, we can immediately dequeue the lock and
thus avoid waiting in this case.

<title>ocfs2: move dquot_initialize() in ocfs2_delete_inode() somewhat later</title>

Move dquot_initalize() call in ocfs2_delete_inode() after the moment we
verify inode is actually a sane one to delete.  We certainly don't want
to initialize quota for system inodes etc.  This also avoids calling
into quota code from downconvert thread.

Add more details into the comment why bailing out from
ocfs2_delete_inode() when we are in downconvert thread is OK.

<title>ocfs2: improve fsync efficiency and fix deadlock between aio_write and sync_file</title>
<updated>2014-04-03T23:20:53+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Darrick J. Wong</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=2931cdcb49194503b19345c597b68fdcf78396f8'/>
<id>2931cdcb49194503b19345c597b68fdcf78396f8</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, ocfs2_sync_file grabs i_mutex and forces the current journal
transaction to complete.  This isn't terribly efficient, since sync_file
really only needs to wait for the last transaction involving that inode
to complete, and this doesn't require i_mutex.

Therefore, implement the necessary bits to track the newest tid
associated with an inode, and teach sync_file to wait for that instead
of waiting for everything in the journal to commit.  Furthermore, only
issue the flush request to the drive if jbd2 hasn't already done so.

This also eliminates the deadlock between ocfs2_file_aio_write() and
ocfs2_sync_file().  aio_write takes i_mutex then calls
ocfs2_aiodio_wait() to wait for unaligned dio writes to finish.
However, if that dio completion involves calling fsync, then we can get
into trouble when some ocfs2_sync_file tries to take i_mutex.

Currently, ocfs2_sync_file grabs i_mutex and forces the current journal
transaction to complete.  This isn't terribly efficient, since sync_file
really only needs to wait for the last transaction involving that inode
to complete, and this doesn't require i_mutex.

Therefore, implement the necessary bits to track the newest tid
associated with an inode, and teach sync_file to wait for that instead
of waiting for everything in the journal to commit.  Furthermore, only
issue the flush request to the drive if jbd2 hasn't already done so.

This also eliminates the deadlock between ocfs2_file_aio_write() and
ocfs2_sync_file().  aio_write takes i_mutex then calls
ocfs2_aiodio_wait() to wait for unaligned dio writes to finish.
However, if that dio completion involves calling fsync, then we can get
into trouble when some ocfs2_sync_file tries to take i_mutex.
