The old description for this configuration option was perhaps not
completely balanced in terms of describing the tradeoffs of using a
default of data=writeback vs. data=ordered. Despite the fact that old
description very strongly recomended disabling this feature, all of
the major distributions have elected to preserve the existing 'legacy'
default, which is a strong hint that it perhaps wasn't telling the
whole story.
This revised description has been vetted by a number of ext3
developers as being better at informing the user about the tradeoffs
of enabling or disabling this configuration feature.

invalidate_inode_pages2_range may return -EBUSY occasionally

The EBUSY return is temporary, and can happen when the btrfs release page

Currently inode_init_always calls into ->destroy_inode if the additional
initialization fails. That's not only counter-intuitive because
inode_init_always did not allocate the inode structure, but in case of
XFS it's actively harmful as ->destroy_inode might delete the inode from
a radix-tree that has never been added. This in turn might end up
deleting the inode for the same inum that has been instanciated by
another process and cause lots of cause subtile problems.
Also in the case of re-initializing a reclaimable inode in XFS it would
free an inode we still want to keep alive.

This patch fixes the regression reported here:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13861
commit 4ae1507f6d changed the default
behavior when the uid= or gid= option was specified for a mount. The
existing behavior was to always clobber the ownership information
provided by the server when these options were specified. The above
commit changed this behavior so that these options simply provided
defaults when the server did not provide this information (unless
"forceuid" or "forcegid" were specified)
This patch reverts this change so that the default behavior is restored.
It also adds "noforceuid" and "noforcegid" options to make it so that
ownership information from the server is preserved, even when the mount
has uid= or gid= options specified.
It also adds a couple of printk notices that pop up when forceuid or
forcegid options are specified without a uid= or gid= option.

Andrea Gelmini gave me a report that a kernel oops hit on a nilfs
filesystem with a 1KB block size when doing rsync.
This turned out to be caused by an inconsistency of dirty state
between a page and its buffers storing b-tree node blocks.
If the page had multiple buffers split over multiple logs, and if the
logs were written at a time, a dirty flag remained in the page even
every dirty flag in the buffers was cleared.
This will fix the failure by dropping the dirty flag properly for
pages with the discrete multiple b-tree nodes.

The async caching thread can end up looping forever if a given
search puts it at the last key in a leaf. It will end up calling
btrfs_next_leaf and then checking if it needs to politely drop
the read semaphore.
Most of the time this looping isn't noticed because it is able to
make progress the next time around. But, during log replay,
we wait on the async caching thread to finish, and the async thread
is waiting on the commit, and no progress is really made.
The fix used here is to copy the key out of the next leaf,
that way our search lands there properly.

Yan Zheng hit a problem where we tried to remove some free space but failed
because we couldn't find the free space entry. This is because the free space
was held within a bitmap that had a starting offset well before the actual
offset of the free space, and there were free space extents that were in the
same range as that offset, so tree_search_offset returned with NULL because we
couldn't find a free space extent that had that offset. This is fixed by
making sure that if we fail to find the entry, we re-search again with
bitmap_only set to 1 and do an offset_to_bitmap so we can get the appropriate
bitmap. A similar problem happens in btrfs_alloc_from_bitmap for the
clustering code, but that is not as bad since we will just go and redo our
cluster allocation.
Also this adds some debugging checks to make sure that the free space we are
trying to remove from the bitmap is in fact there. This can probably go away
after a while, but since this code is only used by the tree-logging stuff it
would be nice to run with it for a while to make sure there are no problems.

Chop it down to something reasonable, the number of slots

We add 1 to the value because in the normal getbmap

The async block group caching code uses the commit_root pointer
to get a stable version of the extent allocation tree for scanning.
This copy of the tree root isn't going to change and it significantly
reduces the complexity of the scanning code.
During a commit, we have a loop where we update the extent allocation
tree root. We need to loop because updating the root pointer in
the tree of tree roots may allocate blocks which may change the
extent allocation tree.
Right now the commit_root pointer is changed inside this loop. It
is more correct to change the commit_root pointer only after all the
looping is done.

When a file is deleted from a gfs2 filesystem on one node, a dcache

it's possible to have a gfs2 filesystem with no files on it and no free
space. With this patch, when a node receives a callback notifying it
that the file is being deleted on another node, it schedules a new
workqueue thread to remove the file's dcache entry.

then try to free the glock itself when it drops the refernce. To solve

GFS2 wasn't syncing its statfs info on grows. This causes a problem
when you grow the filesystem on multiple nodes. GFS2 would calculate
the new space based on the resource groups (which are always current),
and then assume that the filesystem had grown the from the existing
statfs size. If you grew the filesystem on two different nodes in a
short time, the second node wouldn't see the statfs size change from the
first node, and would assume that it was grown by a larger amount than
it was. When all these changes were synced out, the total fileystem
size would be incorrect (the first grow would be counted twice).
This patch syncs makes GFS2 read in the statfs changes from disk before
a grow, and write them out after the grow, while the master statfs inode
is locked.
