2011-03-26xfs: xfs_trans_read_buf() should return an error on failureDave Chinner
When inside a transaction and we fail to read a buffer, xfs_trans_read_buf returns a null buffer pointer and no error. xfs_do_da_buf() checks the error return, but not the buffer, and as a result this read failure condition causes a panic when it attempts to dereference the non-existant buffer. Make xfs_trans_read_buf() return the same error for this situation regardless of whether it is in a transaction or not. This means every caller does not need to check both the error return and the buffer before proceeding to use the buffer.

2011-03-26xfs: introduce inode cluster buffer trylocks for xfs_iflushDave Chinner
There is an ABBA deadlock between synchronous inode flushing in xfs_reclaim_inode and xfs_icluster_free. xfs_icluster_free locks the buffer, then takes inode ilocks, whilst synchronous reclaim takes the ilock followed by the buffer lock in xfs_iflush(). To avoid this deadlock, separate the inode cluster buffer locking semantics from the synchronous inode flush semantics, allowing callers to attempt to lock the buffer but still issue synchronous IO if it can get the buffer. This requires xfs_iflush() calls that currently use non-blocking semantics to pass SYNC_TRYLOCK rather than 0 as the flags parameter. This allows xfs_reclaim_inode to avoid the deadlock on the buffer lock and detect the failure so that it can drop the inode ilock and restart the reclaim attempt on the inode. This allows xfs_ifree_cluster to obtain the inode lock, mark the inode stale and release it and hence defuse the deadlock situation. It also has the pleasant side effect of avoiding IO in xfs_reclaim_inode when it tries to next reclaim the inode as it is now marked stale.

2011-03-26vmap: flush vmap aliases when mapping failsDave Chinner
On 32 bit systems, vmalloc space is limited and XFS can chew through it quickly as the vmalloc space is lazily freed. This can result in failure to map buffers, even when there is apparently large amounts of vmalloc space available. Hence, if we fail to map a buffer, purge the aliases that have not yet been freed to hopefuly free up enough vmalloc space to allow a retry to succeed.

2011-03-26xfs: preallocation transactions do not need to be synchronousDave Chinner
Preallocation and hole punch transactions are currently synchronous and this is causing performance problems in some cases. The transactions don't need to be synchronous as we don't need to guarantee the preallocation is persistent on disk until a fdatasync, fsync, sync operation occurs. If the file is opened O_SYNC or O_DATASYNC, only then should the transaction be issued synchronously.

2011-03-25ceph: flush msgr_wq during mds_client shutdownSage Weil
The release method for mds connections uses a backpointer to the mds_client, so we need to flush the workqueue of any pending work (and ceph_connection references) prior to freeing the mds_client. This fixes an oops easily triggered under UML by while true ; do mount ... ; umount ... ; done Also fix an outdated comment: the flush in ceph_destroy_client only flushes OSD connections out.
