Commit 2c61be0a9478258f77b66208a0c4b1f5f8161c3c (NFS: Ensure that the WRITE
and COMMIT RPC calls are always uninterruptible) exposed a race on file
close. In order to ensure correct close-to-open behaviour, we want to wait
for all outstanding background commit operations to complete.
This patch adds an inode flag that indicates if a commit operation is under
way, and provides a mechanism to allow ->write_inode() to wait for its
completion if this is a data integrity flush.

Now that we have correct COMMIT semantics in writeback_single_inode, we can
reduce and simplify nfs_wb_all(). Also replace nfs_wb_nocommit() with a
call to filemap_write_and_wait(), which doesn't need to hold the
inode->i_mutex.
With that done, we can eliminate nfs_write_mapping() altogether.

In order to know when we should do opportunistic commits of the unstable
writes, when the VM is doing a background flush, we add a field to count
the number of unstable writes.

The sole purpose of nfs_write_inode is to commit unstable writes, so
move it into fs/nfs/write.c, and make nfs_commit_inode static.

We can't call nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release() without
first initialising and referencing args.context. Doing so inside
nfs_direct_read_schedule_segment()/nfs_direct_write_schedule_segment()
causes an Oops.
We should rather be calling nfs_readdata_free()/nfs_writedata_free() in
those cases.
Looking at the O_DIRECT code, the "struct nfs_direct_req" is already
referencing the nfs_open_context for us. Since the readdata and writedata
structures carry a reference to that, we can simplify things by getting rid
of the extra nfs_open_context references, so that we can replace all
instances of nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release().

The following patch is a combination of a patch by myself and Peter
Staubach.
Trond: If we allow other processes to dirty pages while a process is doing
a consistency sync to disk, we can end up never making progress.
Peter: Attached is a patch which addresses a continuing problem with
the NFS client generating out of order WRITE requests. While
this is compliant with all of the current protocol
specifications, there are servers in the market which can not
handle out of order WRITE requests very well. Also, this may
lead to sub-optimal block allocations in the underlying file
system on the server. This may cause the read throughputs to
be reduced when reading the file from the server.
Peter: There has been a lot of work recently done to address out of
order issues on a systemic level. However, the NFS client is
still susceptible to the problem. Out of order WRITE
requests can occur when pdflush is in the middle of writing
out pages while the process dirtying the pages calls
generic_file_buffered_write which calls
generic_perform_write which calls
balance_dirty_pages_rate_limited which ends up calling
writeback_inodes which ends up calling back into the NFS
client to writes out dirty pages for the same file that
pdflush happens to be working with.

Hi.
I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where
a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0"
mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were
seeing in the file attributes. It turned out that this solution
did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local
attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out.
(With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always
appear to be timed out.)
In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem
is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one
error in it. It is assuming that the cache is valid in the
region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo]. The
cache should be considered valid only in the region,
[read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo). With this
change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally
expected.
This problem was previously addressed by special casing the
attrtimeo == 0 case. However, since the problem is only an off-
by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one
error and thus, not require the special case.
Thanx...

As not all files have an associated open_context (e.g. device special

It appears that 'jiffies' timestamps do not have high enough resolution for
nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(). One problem is that a GETATTR can be
launched within < 1 jiffy of the last operation that updated the attribute.
Another problem is that RPC calls can take < 1 jiffy to execute.
We can fix this by switching the variables to use a simple global counter
that gets incremented every time we start another GETATTR call.

Currently, if two processes are both trying to revalidate metadata for the
same inode, they will find themselves being serialised. There is no good
justification for this now that we have improved our ability to detect
stale attribute data, so we should remove that serialisation.

When we detect that we've crossed a mountpoint on the remote server, we
must take care not to use that inode to revalidate the fsid on our
current superblock. To do so, we label the inode as a remote mountpoint,
and check for that in nfs_update_inode().

lookup() and sillyrename() can race one another because the sillyrename()
completion cannot take the parent directory's inode->i_mutex since the
latter may be held by whoever is calling dput().
We therefore have little option but to add extra locking to ensure that
nfs_lookup() and nfs_atomic_open() do not race with the sillyrename
completion.
If somebody has looked up the sillyrenamed file in the meantime, we just
transfer the sillydelete information to the new dentry.

The fact that we're in the process of modifying the inode does not mean
that we should not invalidate the attribute and data caches. The defensive

The reason is that if the weak cache consistency update was successful,
then we know that our client must be the only one that changed the
