2011-12-09xfs: avoid direct I/O write vs buffered I/O raceChristoph Hellwig
commit c58cb165bd44de8aaee9755a144136ae743be116 upstream. Currently a buffered reader or writer can add pages to the pagecache while we are waiting for the iolock in xfs_file_dio_aio_write. Prevent this by re-checking mapping->nrpages after we got the iolock, and if nessecary upgrade the lock to exclusive mode. To simplify this a bit only take the ilock inside of xfs_file_aio_write_checks.

2011-12-09xfs: don't serialise direct IO reads on page cache checksDave Chinner
commit 0c38a2512df272b14ef4238b476a2e4f70da1479 upstream. There is no need to grab the i_mutex of the IO lock in exclusive mode if we don't need to invalidate the page cache. Taking these locks on every direct IO effective serialises them as taking the IO lock in exclusive mode has to wait for all shared holders to drop the lock. That only happens when IO is complete, so effective it prevents dispatch of concurrent direct IO reads to the same inode. Fix this by taking the IO lock shared to check the page cache state, and only then drop it and take the IO lock exclusively if there is work to be done. Hence for the normal direct IO case, no exclusive locking will occur.

2011-08-12xfs: remove subdirectoriesChristoph Hellwig
Use the move from Linux 2.6 to Linux 3.x as an excuse to kill the annoying subdirectories in the XFS source code. Besides the large amount of file rename the only changes are to the Makefile, a few files including headers with the subdirectory prefix, and the binary sysctl compat code that includes a header under fs/xfs/ from kernel/.
