Revert bd_mount_mutex back to a semaphore so that xfs_freeze -f /mnt/newtest;
xfs_freeze -u /mnt/newtest works safely and doesn't produce lockdep warnings.

(XFS unlocks the semaphore from a different task, by design.  The mutex
code warns about this)

    NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page()

    invalidate_inode_pages2() may find the dirty bit has been set on a page
    owing to the fact that the page may still be mapped after it was locked.
    Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page
    can no longer be dirtied.
    In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries
    to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the
    call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page
    reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference
    to the inode or dentry.

    Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will
    attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.

    Also, the bare SetPageDirty() can skew all sort of accounting leading to
    other nasties.

<content type='text'>
Add "relatime" (relative atime) support.  Relative atime only updates the
atime if the previous atime is older than the mtime or ctime.  Like
noatime, but useful for applications like mutt that need to know when a
file has been read since it was last modified.

A corresponding patch against mount(8) is available at

<content type='text'>
This patch changes struct file to use struct path instead of having
independent pointers to struct dentry and struct vfsmount, and converts all
users of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} in fs/ to use f_path.{dentry,mnt}.

Additionally, it adds two #define's to make the transition easier for users of
the f_dentry and f_vfsmnt.

[acme@newtoy net-2.6.20]$

So just moving i_mode to after i_bytes we save 4 bytes by nuking both holes:

[acme@newtoy net-2.6.20]$ codiff -V /tmp/inode.o.before fs/inode.o
/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/net-2.6.20/fs/inode.c:
  struct inode |   -4
    i_mode;
     from: umode_t               /*    40(0)     2(0) */
     to:   umode_t               /*   102(0)     2(0) */
 1 struct changed
[acme@newtoy net-2.6.20]$

I've prunned all the other offset changes, only this one is of interest here.

So now we have:

[acme@newtoy net-2.6.20]$ pahole --cacheline 64 ../OUTPUT/qemu/net-2.6.20/fs/inode.o inode

So just moving i_mode to after i_bytes we save 4 bytes by nuking both holes:

[acme@newtoy net-2.6.20]$ codiff -V /tmp/inode.o.before fs/inode.o
/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/net-2.6.20/fs/inode.c:
  struct inode |   -4
    i_mode;
     from: umode_t               /*    40(0)     2(0) */
     to:   umode_t               /*   102(0)     2(0) */
 1 struct changed
[acme@newtoy net-2.6.20]$

I've prunned all the other offset changes, only this one is of interest here.

So now we have:

<title>[PATCH] fs: reorder some 'struct inode' fields to speedup i_size manipulations</title>

On 32bits SMP platforms, 64bits i_size is protected by a seqcount
(i_size_seqcount).

When i_size is read or written, i_size_seqcount is read/written as well, so
it make sense to group these two fields together in the same cache line.

This patch moves i_size_seqcount next to i_size, and also moves i_version
to let offsetof(struct inode, i_size) being 0x40 instead of 0x3c (for
32bits platforms).

For 64 bits platforms, i_size_seqcount doesnt exist, and the move of a
'long i_version' should not introduce a new hole because of padding.

Change the signature of i_size_read(), IMINOR() and IMAJOR() because they,
or the functions they call, will never modify the argument.
