784b4e29a2 Btrfs: add migrate page for metadata inode
Migrate page will directly call the btrfs btree writepage function,
which isn't actually allowed.

Our writepage assumes that you have locked the extent_buffer and
flagged the block as written.  Without doing these steps, we can
corrupt metadata blocks.

A later commit will remove the btree writepage function since
it is really only safely used internally by btrfs.  We
use writepages for everything else.

During unlink we remove any references to the inode from
the tree log.  It can return -ENOENT and other errors,

4260f7c751 Btrfs: allow subvol deletion by unprivileged user with -o user_subvol_rm_allowed
Add a mount option user_subvol_rm_allowed that allows users to delete a
(potentially non-empty!) subvol when they would otherwise we allowed to do
an rmdir(2).  We duplicate the may_delete() checks from the core VFS code
to implement identical security checks (minus the directory size check).
We additionally require that the user has write+exec permission on the
subvol root inode.

531cb13f1e Btrfs: make SNAP_DESTROY async
There is no reason to force an immediate commit when deleting a snapshot.
Users have some expectation that space from a deleted snapshot be freed
immediately, but even if we do commit the reclaim is a background process.

If users _do_ want the deletion to be durable, they can call 'sync'.

72fd032e94 Btrfs: add SNAP_CREATE_ASYNC ioctl
Create a snap without waiting for it to commit to disk.  The ioctl is
ordered such that subsequent operations will not be contained by the
created snapshot, and the commit is initiated, but the ioctl does not
wait for the snapshot to commit to disk.

We return the specific transid to userspace so that an application can wait
for this specific snapshot creation to commit via the WAIT_SYNC ioctl.

462045928b Btrfs: add START_SYNC, WAIT_SYNC ioctls
START_SYNC will start a sync/commit, but not wait for it to
complete.  Any modification started after the ioctl returns is
guaranteed not to be included in the commit.  If a non-NULL
pointer is passed, the transaction id will be returned to
userspace.

WAIT_SYNC will wait for any in-progress commit to complete.  If a
transaction id is specified, the ioctl will block and then
return (success) when the specified transaction has committed.
If it has already committed when we call the ioctl, it returns
immediately.  If the specified transaction doesn't exist, it
returns EINVAL.

If no transaction id is specified, WAIT_SYNC will wait for the
currently committing transaction to finish it's commit to disk.
If there is no currently committing transaction, it returns
success.

These ioctls are useful for applications which want to impose an
ordering on when fs modifications reach disk, but do not want to
wait for the full (slow) commit process to do so.

Picky callers can take the transid returned by START_SYNC and
feed it to WAIT_SYNC, and be certain to wait only as long as
necessary for the transaction _they_ started to reach disk.

Sloppy callers can START_SYNC and WAIT_SYNC without a transid,
and provided they didn't wait too long between the calls, they
will get the same result.  However, if a second commit starts
before they call WAIT_SYNC, they may end up waiting longer for
it to commit as well.  Even so, a START_SYNC+WAIT_SYNC still
guarantees that any operation completed before the START_SYNC
reaches disk.

bb9c12c945 Btrfs: async transaction commit
Add support for an async transaction commit that is ordered such that any
subsequent operations will join the following transaction, but does not
wait until the current commit is fully on disk.  This avoids much of the
latency associated with the btrfs_commit_transaction for callers concerned
with serialization and not safety.

The wait_for_unblock flag controls whether we wait for the 'middle' portion
of commit_transaction to complete, which is necessary if the caller expects
some of the modifications contained in the commit to be available (this is
the case for subvol/snapshot creation).

99d16cbcaf Btrfs: fix deadlock in btrfs_commit_transaction
We calculate timeout (either 1 or MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT) based on whether
num_writers > 1 or should_grow at the top of the loop.  Then, much much
later, we wait for that timeout if either num_writers or should_grow is
true.  However, it's possible for a racing process (calling
btrfs_end_transaction()) to decrement num_writers such that we wait
forever instead of for 1.

Fix this by deciding how long to wait when we wait.  Include a smp_mb()
before checking if the waitqueue is active to ensure the num_writers
is visible.

bf9022e06a Btrfs: use the flusher threads for delalloc throttling
We have a fairly complex set of loops around walking our list of
delalloc inodes when we find metadata delalloc space running low.
It doesn't work very well, can use large amounts of CPU and doesn't
do very efficient writeback.

This switches us to kick the bdi flusher threads instead.  All dirty
data in btrfs is accounted as delalloc data, so this is very similar
in terms of what it writes, but we're able to just kick off the IO
and wait for progress.

3259f8bed2 Add new functions for triggering inode writeback
When btrfs is running low on metadata space, it needs to force delayed
allocation pages to disk.  It currently does this with a suboptimal walk
of a private list of inodes with delayed allocation, and it would be
much better if we used the generic flusher threads.

writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle would be ideal, but it waits for the flusher
thread to start IO on all the dirty pages in the FS before it returns.
This adds variants of writeback_inodes_sb* that allow the caller to
control how many pages get sent down.

This patch actually loads the free space cache if it exists.  The only thing
that really changes here is that we need to cache the block group if we're going

we need to make sure we read the on disk cache in first, and then remove the
extent, that way when the extent is unpinned the free space is added to the
block group.  This has been tested with all sorts of things.

8bb8ab2e93 Btrfs: rework how we reserve metadata bytes
With multi-threaded writes we were getting ENOSPC early because somebody would
come in, start flushing delalloc because they couldn't make their reservation,
and in the meantime other threads would come in and use the space that was
getting freed up, so when the original thread went to check to see if they had
space they didn't and they'd return ENOSPC.  So instead if we have some free
space but not enough for our reservation, take the reservation and then start
doing the flushing.  The only time we don't take reservations is when we've
already overcommitted our space, that way we don't have people who come late to
the party way overcommitting ourselves.  This also moves all of the retrying and
flushing code into reserve_metdata_bytes so it's all uniform.  This keeps my
fs_mark test from returning -ENOSPC as soon as it starts and actually lets me
fill up the disk.  Thanks,

chunks way more often than we should.  For example with my fs_mark tests on a

being used.  So instead check to see if the amount of space actually used is
less than 30% of the total space, and if so don't allocate a chunk, but only if
we have at least 256mb of free space to make sure we don't put too much pressure

In very severe ENOSPC cases we can run out of inodes to do delalloc on, which
means we'll just keep looping trying to shrink delalloc.  Instead, if we fail to
shrink delalloc 3 times in a row break out since we're not likely to make any
progress.  Tested this with a 100mb fs an xfstests test 13.  Before the patch it
would hang the box, with the patch we get -ENOSPC like we should.  Thanks,

531295e63b virtio: console: Don't block entire guest if host doesn't read data
If the host is slow in reading data or doesn't read data at all,
blocking write calls not only blocked the program that called write()
but the entire guest itself.

To overcome this, let's not block till the host signals it has given
back the virtio ring element we passed it.  Instead, send the buffer to
the host and return to userspace.  This operation then becomes similar
to how non-blocking writes work, so let's use the existing code for this
path as well.

This code change also ensures blocking write calls do get blocked if
there's not enough room in the virtio ring as well as they don't return
-EAGAIN to userspace.

d39e072166 MAINTAINERS: Change list for ioc_serial to linux-serial.
IOC3 is also being used on SGI MIPS systems but this particular driver is
only being used on IA64 systems so linux-mips made no sense as a list.  Pat
also thinks linux-serial@vger.kernel.org is the better list.

6cc0cc4a35 SERIAL: ioc3_serial: Return -ENOMEM on memory allocation failure
In this code, 0 is returned on memory allocation failure, even though other
failures return -ENOMEM or other similar values.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression ret;
expression x,e1,e2,e3;
@@

ret = 0
... when != ret = e1
*x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...)
... when != ret = e2
if (x == NULL) { ... when != ret = e3
  return ret;
}
