Mel Gorman 192e501b04 nfs: prevent page allocator recursions with swap over NFS.
GFP_NOFS is _more_ permissive than GFP_NOIO in that it will initiate IO,
just not of any filesystem data.

The problem is that previously NOFS was correct because that avoids
recursion into the NFS code.  With swap-over-NFS, it is no longer correct
as swap IO can lead to this recursion.

Mel Gorman 29418aa4bd nfs: disable data cache revalidation for swapfiles
The VM does not like PG_private set on PG_swapcache pages.  As suggested
by Trond in http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/25/348, this patch disables NFS
data cache revalidation on swap files.  as it does not make sense to have
other clients change the file while it is being used as swap.  This avoids
setting PG_private on swap pages, since there ought to be no further races
with invalidate_inode_pages2() to deal with.

Since we cannot set PG_private we cannot use page->private which is
already used by PG_swapcache pages to store the nfs_page.  Thus augment
the new nfs_page_find_request logic.

Trond Myklebust 3aff4ebb95 NFS: Prevent a deadlock in the new writeback code
We have to unlock the nfs_page before we call nfs_end_page_writeback
to avoid races with functions that expect the page to be unlocked
when PG_locked and PG_writeback are not set.
The problem is that nfs_unlock_request also releases the nfs_page,
causing a deadlock if the release of the nfs_open_context
triggers an iput() while the PG_writeback flag is still set...

The solution is to separate the unlocking and release of the nfs_page,
so that we can do the former before nfs_end_page_writeback and the
latter after.

Fred Isaman 6c75dc0d49 NFS: merge _full and _partial write rpc_ops
Decouple nfs_pgio_header and nfs_write_data, and have (possibly
multiple) nfs_write_datas each take a refcount on nfs_pgio_header.

For the moment keeps nfs_write_header as a way to preallocate a single
nfs_write_data with the nfs_pgio_header.  The code doesn't need this,
and would be prettier without, but given the amount of churn I am
already introducing I didn't want to play with tuning new mempools.

This also fixes bug in pnfs_ld_handle_write_error.  In the case of
desc->pg_bsize < PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, the pages list was empty, causing

Fred Isaman cd841605f7 NFS: create common nfs_pgio_header for both read and write
In order to avoid duplicating all the data in nfs_read_data whenever we
split it up into multiple RPC calls (either due to a short read result
or due to rsize < PAGE_SIZE), we split out the bits that are the same
per RPC call into a separate "header" structure.

The goal this patch moves towards is to have a single header
refcounted by several rpc_data structures.  Thus, want to always refer
from rpc_data to the header, and not the other way.  This patch comes
close to that ideal, but the directio code currently needs some
special casing, isolated in the nfs_direct_[read_write]hdr_release()
functions.  This will be dealt with in a future patch.

Trond Myklebust 8dd3775889 NFSv4.1: Clean ups and bugfixes for the pNFS read/writeback/commit code
Move more pnfs-isms out of the generic commit code.

Bugfixes:

- filelayout_scan_commit_lists doesn't need to get/put the lseg.
  In fact since it is run under the inode->i_lock, the lseg_put()
  can deadlock.

- Ensure that we distinguish between what needs to be done for
  commit-to-data server and what needs to be done for commit-to-MDS
  using the new flag PG_COMMIT_TO_DS. Otherwise we may end up calling
  put_lseg() on a bucket for a struct nfs_page that got written
  through the MDS.

- Fix a case where we were using list_del() on an nfs_page->wb_list
  instead of list_del_init().

- filelayout_initiate_commit needs to call filelayout_commit_release
  on error instead of the mds_ops->rpc_release(). Otherwise it won't
  clear the commit lock.

Cleanups:

- Let the files layout manage the commit lists for the pNFS case.
  Don't expose stuff like pnfs_choose_commit_list, and the fact
  that the commit buckets hold references to the layout segment
  in common code.

- Cast out the put_lseg() calls for the struct nfs_read/write_data->lseg
  into the pNFS layer from whence they came.

- Let the pNFS layer manage the NFS_INO_PNFS_COMMIT bit.

mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage.  Async compaction
maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT.
For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is
used.

This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time,
particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a
large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support
->writepages.

Mel Gorman b969c4ab9f mm: compaction: determine if dirty pages can be migrated without blocking within ->migratepage
Asynchronous compaction is used when allocating transparent hugepages to
avoid blocking for long periods of time.  Due to reports of stalling,
there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely
impacted allocation success rates.  Part of the reason was that many dirty
pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check;

	if (PageDirty(page) && !sync &&
		mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page)
			rc = -EBUSY;

This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though
it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking.  This
patch updates the ->migratepage callback with a "sync" parameter.  It is
the responsibility of the callback to fail gracefully if migration would
block.

Trond Myklebust e2fecb215b NFS: Remove pNFS bloat from the generic write path
We have no business doing any this in the standard write release path.
Get rid of it, and put it in the pNFS layer.

Also, while we're at it, get rid of the completely bogus unlock/relock
semantics that were present in nfs_writeback_release_full(). It is
not only unnecessary, but actually dangerous to release the write lock
just in order to take it again in nfs_page_async_flush(). Better just
to open code the pgio operations in a pnfs helper.
