1d769cd192 9p: Implement TGETLOCK
Synopsis

    size[4] TGetlock tag[2] fid[4] getlock[n]
    size[4] RGetlock tag[2] getlock[n]

Description

TGetlock is used to test for the existence of byte range posix locks on a file
identified by given fid. The reply contains getlock structure. If the lock could
be placed it returns F_UNLCK in type field of getlock structure.  Otherwise it
returns the details of the conflicting locks in the getlock structure

    getlock structure:
      type[1] - Type of lock: F_RDLCK, F_WRLCK
      start[8] - Starting offset for lock
      length[8] - Number of bytes to check for the lock
             If length is 0, check for lock in all bytes starting at the location
            'start' through to the end of file
      pid[4] - PID of the process that wants to take lock/owns the task
               in case of reply
      client[4] - Client id of the system that owns the process which
                  has the conflicting lock

a099027c77 9p: Implement TLOCK
Synopsis

    size[4] TLock tag[2] fid[4] flock[n]
    size[4] RLock tag[2] status[1]

Description

Tlock is used to acquire/release byte range posix locks on a file
identified by given fid. The reply contains status of the lock request

    flock structure:
        type[1] - Type of lock: F_RDLCK, F_WRLCK, F_UNLCK
        flags[4] - Flags could be either of
          P9_LOCK_FLAGS_BLOCK - Blocked lock request, if there is a
            conflicting lock exists, wait for that lock to be released.
          P9_LOCK_FLAGS_RECLAIM - Reclaim lock request, used when client is
            trying to reclaim a lock after a server restrart (due to crash)
        start[8] - Starting offset for lock
        length[8] - Number of bytes to lock
          If length is 0, lock all bytes starting at the location 'start'
          through to the end of file
        pid[4] - PID of the process that wants to take lock
        client_id[4] - Unique client id

        status[1] - Status of the lock request, can be
          P9_LOCK_SUCCESS(0), P9_LOCK_BLOCKED(1), P9_LOCK_ERROR(2) or
          P9_LOCK_GRACE(3)
          P9_LOCK_SUCCESS - Request was successful
          P9_LOCK_BLOCKED - A conflicting lock is held by another process
          P9_LOCK_ERROR - Error while processing the lock request
          P9_LOCK_GRACE - Server is in grace period, it can't accept new lock
            requests in this period (except locks with
            P9_LOCK_FLAGS_RECLAIM flag set)

3834b12a18 fs/9p: setrlimit fix for 9p write
Current 9p client file write code does not check for RLIMIT_FSIZE resource.
This bug was found by running LTP test case for setrlimit. This bug is fixed
by calling generic_write_checks before sending the write request to the
server.
Without this patch: the write function is allowed to write above the
RLIMIT_FSIZE set by user.
With this patch: the write function checks for RLIMIT_SIZE and writes upto
the size limit.

f78233dd44 9p: Skip check for mandatory locks when unlocking
While investigating a bug, I came across a possible bug in v9fs. The
problem is similar to the one reported for NFS by ASANO Masahiro in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/12/21/334.

v9fs_file_lock() will skip locks on file which has mode set to 02666.
This is a problem in cases where the mode of the file is changed after
a process has obtained a lock on the file. Such a lock will be skipped
during unlock and the machine will end up with a BUG in
locks_remove_flock().

v9fs_file_lock() should skip the check for mandatory locks when
unlocking a file.

60e78d2c99 9p: Add fscache support to 9p
This patch adds a persistent, read-only caching facility for
9p clients using the FS-Cache caching backend.

When the fscache facility is enabled, each inode is associated
with a corresponding vcookie which is an index into the FS-Cache
indexing tree. The FS-Cache indexing tree is indexed at 3 levels:
- session object associated with each mount.
- inode/vcookie
- actual data (pages)

A cache tag is chosen randomly for each session. These tags can
be read off /sys/fs/9p/caches and can be passed as a mount-time
parameter to re-attach to the specified caching session.

e03abc0c96 9p: implement optional loose read cache
While cacheing is generally frowned upon in the 9p world, it has its
place -- particularly in situations where the remote file system is
exclusive and/or read-only.  The vacfs views of venti content addressable
store are a real-world instance of such a situation.  To facilitate higher
performance for these workloads (and eventually use the fscache patches),
we have enabled a "loose" cache mode which does not attempt to maintain
any form of consistency on the page-cache or dcache.  This results in over
two orders of magnitude performance improvement for cacheable block reads
in the Bonnie benchmark.  The more aggressive use of the dcache also seems
to improve metadata operational performance.

28fd129827 [PATCH] Fix and add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait)
This patch add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait) and use it.

See mm/filemap.c:

And changes the filemap_write_and_wait() and filemap_write_and_wait_range().

Current filemap_write_and_wait() doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite()
returns error.  However, even if filemap_fdatawrite() returned an
error, it may have submitted the partially data pages to the device.
(e.g. in the case of -ENOSPC)

<quotation>
Andrew Morton writes,

If filemap_fdatawrite() returns an error, this might be due to some
I/O problem: dead disk, unplugged cable, etc.  Given the generally
crappy quality of the kernel's handling of such exceptions, there's a
good chance that the filemap_fdatawait() will get stuck in D state
forever.
</quotation>

So, this patch doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite() returns the -EIO.

Trond, could you please review the nfs part?  Especially I'm not sure,
nfs must use the "filemap_fdatawrite(inode->i_mapping) == 0", or not.

733482e445 [PATCH] changing CONFIG_LOCALVERSION rebuilds too much, for no good reason
This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h.  The 3
#defines are unused in most of the touched files.

A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is
unfortunatly in linux/version.h.

There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not
touched.  In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.

quilt vi `find * -type f -name "*.[ch]"|xargs grep -El '(UTS_RELEASE|LINUX_VERSION_CODE|KERNEL_VERSION|linux/version.h)'|grep -Ev '(/(boot|coda|drm)/|~$)'`

search pattern:
/UTS_RELEASE\|LINUX_VERSION_CODE\|KERNEL_VERSION\|linux\/\(utsname\|version\).h

19cba8abd6 [PATCH] v9fs: remove additional buffer allocation from v9fs_file_read and v9fs_file_write
v9fs_file_read and v9fs_file_write use kmalloc to allocate buffers as big
as the data buffer received as parameter.  kmalloc cannot be used to
allocate buffers bigger than 128K, so reading/writing data in chunks bigger
than 128k fails.

This patch reorganizes v9fs_file_read and v9fs_file_write to allocate only
buffers as big as the maximum data that can be sent in one 9P message.

0b8dd17762 [PATCH] v9fs: fix races in fid allocation
Fid management cleanup.  The patch attempts to fix the races in dentry's
fid management.

Dentries don't keep the opened fids anymore, they are moved to the file
structs.  Ideally there should be no more than one fid with fidcreate equal
to zero in the dentry's list of fids.

v9fs_fid_create initializes the important fields (fid, fidcreated) before
v9fs_fid is added to the list.  v9fs_fid_lookup returns only fids that are
not created by v9fs_create.  v9fs_fid_get_created returns the fid created
by the same process by v9fs_create (if any) and removes it from dentry's
list
