This patch creates a new idmapper system that uses the request-key function to
place a call into userspace to map user and group ids to names. The old
idmapper was single threaded, which prevented more than one request from running
at a single time. This means that a user would have to wait for an upcall to
finish before accessing a cached result.
The upcall result is stored on a keyring of type id_resolver. See the file
Documentation/filesystems/nfs/idmapper.txt for instructions.

Having to explicitly initialize sr_slotid to NFS4_MAX_SLOT_TABLE
resulted in numerous bugs. Keeping the current slot as a pointer
to the slot table is more straight forward and robust as it's
implicitly set up to NULL wherever the seq_res member is initialized
to zeroes.

NFS clients since 2.6.12 support flock locks by emulating fcntl byte-range
locks. Due to this, some windows applications which seem to use both flock
(share mode lock mapped as flock by Samba) and fcntl locks sequentially on
the same file, can't lock as they falsely assume the file is already locked.
The problem was reported on a setup with windows clients accessing excel files
on a Samba exported share which is originally a NFS mount from a NetApp filer.
Older NFS clients (< 2.6.12) did not see this problem as flock locks were
considered local. To support legacy flock behavior, this patch adds a mount
option "-olocal_lock=" which can take the following values:
'none' - Neither flock locks nor POSIX locks are local
'flock' - flock locks are local
'posix' - fcntl/POSIX locks are local
'all' - Both flock locks and POSIX locks are local
Testing:
- This patch was tested by using -olocal_lock option with different values
and the NLM calls were noted from the network packet captured.
'none' - NLM calls were seen during both flock() and fcntl(), flock lock
was granted, fcntl was denied
'flock' - no NLM calls for flock(), NLM call was seen for fcntl(),
granted
'posix' - NLM call was seen for flock() - granted, no NLM call for fcntl()
'all' - no NLM calls were seen during both flock() and fcntl()
- No bugs were seen during NFSv4 locking/unlocking in general and NFSv4
reboot recovery.

A synchronous rename can be interrupted by a SIGKILL. If that happens
during a sillyrename operation, it's possible for the rename call to
be sent to the server, but the task exits before processing the
reply. If this happens, the sillyrenamed file won't get cleaned up
during nfs_dentry_iput and the server is left with a dangling .nfs* file
hanging around.
Fix this problem by turning sillyrename into an asynchronous operation
and have the task doing the sillyrename just wait on the reply. If the
task is killed before the sillyrename completes, it'll still proceed
to completion.

When an fanotify listener is closing it may cause a deadlock between the
listener and the original task doing an fs operation. If the original task
is waiting for a permissions response it will be holding the srcu lock. The
listener cannot clean up and exit until after that srcu lock is syncronized.
Thus deadlock. The fix introduced here is to stop accepting new permissions
events when a listener is shutting down and to grant permission for all
outstanding events. Thus the original task will eventually release the srcu
lock and the listener can complete shutdown.

fs: scale files_lock
Improve scalability of files_lock by adding per-cpu, per-sb files lists,
protected with an lglock. The lglock provides fast access to the per-cpu lists
to add and remove files. It also provides a snapshot of all the per-cpu lists
(although this is very slow).
One difficulty with this approach is that a file can be removed from the list
by another CPU. We must track which per-cpu list the file is on with a new
variale in the file struct (packed into a hole on 64-bit archs). Scalability
could suffer if files are frequently removed from different cpu's list.
However loads with frequent removal of files imply short interval between
adding and removing the files, and the scheduler attempts to avoid moving
processes too far away. Also, even in the case of cross-CPU removal, the
hardware has much more opportunity to parallelise cacheline transfers with N
cachelines than with 1.
A worst-case test of 1 CPU allocating files subsequently being freed by N CPUs
degenerates to contending on a single lock, which is no worse than before. When
more than one CPU are allocating files, even if they are always freed by
different CPUs, there will be more parallelism than the single-lock case.
Testing results:
On a 2 socket, 8 core opteron, I measure the number of times the lock is taken
to remove the file, the number of times it is removed by the same CPU that
added it, and the number of times it is removed by the same node that added it.
Booting: locks= 25049 cpu-hits= 23174 (92.5%) node-hits= 23945 (95.6%)
kbuild -j16 locks=2281913 cpu-hits=2208126 (96.8%) node-hits=2252674 (98.7%)
dbench 64 locks=4306582 cpu-hits=4287247 (99.6%) node-hits=4299527 (99.8%)
So a file is removed from the same CPU it was added by over 90% of the time.
It remains within the same node 95% of the time.
Tim Chen ran some numbers for a 64 thread Nehalem system performing a compile.
throughput
2.6.34-rc2 24.5
+patch 24.9
us sys idle IO wait (in %)
2.6.34-rc2 51.25 28.25 17.25 3.25
+patch 53.75 18.5 19 8.75
So significantly less CPU time spent in kernel code, higher idle time and
slightly higher throughput.
Single threaded performance difference was within the noise of microbenchmarks.
That is not to say penalty does not exist, the code is larger and more memory
accesses required so it will be slightly slower.

lglock: introduce special lglock and brlock spin locks
This patch introduces "local-global" locks (lglocks). These can be used to:
- Provide fast exclusive access to per-CPU data, with exclusive access to
another CPU's data allowed but possibly subject to contention, and to provide
very slow exclusive access to all per-CPU data.
- Or to provide very fast and scalable read serialisation, and to provide
very slow exclusive serialisation of data (not necessarily per-CPU data).
Brlocks are also implemented as a short-hand notation for the latter use
case.
Thanks to Paul for local/global naming convention.

tty: fix fu_list abuse
tty code abuses fu_list, which causes a bug in remount,ro handling.
If a tty device node is opened on a filesystem, then the last link to the inode
removed, the filesystem will be allowed to be remounted readonly. This is
because fs_may_remount_ro does not find the 0 link tty inode on the file sb
list (because the tty code incorrectly removed it to use for its own purpose).
This can result in a filesystem with errors after it is marked "clean".
Taking idea from Christoph's initial patch, allocate a tty private struct
at file->private_data and put our required list fields in there, linking
file and tty. This makes tty nodes behave the same way as other device nodes
and avoid meddling with the vfs, and avoids this bug.
The error handling is not trivial in the tty code, so for this bugfix, I take
the simple approach of using __GFP_NOFAIL and don't worry about memory errors.
This is not a problem because our allocator doesn't fail small allocs as a rule
anyway. So proper error handling is left as an exercise for tty hackers.
[ Arguably filesystem's device inode would ideally be divorced from the
driver's pseudo inode when it is opened, but in practice it's not clear whether
that will ever be worth implementing. ]

fs: fs_struct rwlock to spinlock
struct fs_struct.lock is an rwlock with the read-side used to protect root and
pwd members while taking references to them. Taking a reference to a path
typically requires just 2 atomic ops, so the critical section is very small.
Parallel read-side operations would have cacheline contention on the lock, the
dentry, and the vfsmount cachelines, so the rwlock is unlikely to ever give a
real parallelism increase.
Replace it with a spinlock to avoid one or two atomic operations in typical
path lookup fastpath.

These flags aren't real I/O types, but tell ll_rw_block to always
lock the buffer instead of giving up on a failed trylock.
Instead add a new write_dirty_buffer helper that implements this semantic
and use it from the existing SWRITE* callers. Note that the ll_rw_block
code had a bug where it didn't promote WRITE_SYNC_PLUG properly, which
this patch fixes.
In the ufs code clean up the helper that used to call ll_rw_block
to mirror sync_dirty_buffer, which is the function it implements for
compound buffers.

Instead of abusing a buffer_head flag just add a variant of
sync_dirty_buffer which allows passing the exact type of write
flag required.

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:
arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().
do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.
Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.
This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.
