With the reclaim code separated from the generic walking code, it is
simple to implement batched lookups for the generic walk code.
Separate out the inode validation from the execute operations and
modify the tree lookups to get a batch of inodes at a time.
Reclaim operations will be optimised separately.

When doing read side inode cache walks, the code to validate and
grab an inode is common to all callers. Split it out of the execute
callbacks in preparation for batching lookups. Similarly, split out
the inode reference dropping from the execute callbacks into the

Under heavy multi-way parallel create workloads, the VFS struggles
to write back all the inodes that have been changed in age order.
The bdi flusher thread becomes CPU bound, spending 85% of it's time
in the VFS code, mostly traversing the superblock dirty inode list
to separate dirty inodes old enough to flush.
We already keep an index of all metadata changes in age order - in
the AIL - and continued log pressure will do age ordered writeback
without any extra overhead at all. If there is no pressure on the
log, the xfssyncd will periodically write back metadata in ascending
disk address offset order so will be very efficient.
Hence we can stop marking VFS inodes dirty during transaction commit
or when changing timestamps during transactions. This will keep the
inodes in the superblock dirty list to those containing data or
unlogged metadata changes.
However, the timstamp changes are slightly more complex than this -
there are a couple of places that do unlogged updates of the
timestamps, and the VFS need to be informed of these. Hence add a
new function xfs_trans_ichgtime() for transactional changes,
and leave xfs_ichgtime() for the non-transactional changes.

When we start taking a reference to the per-ag for every cached
buffer in the system, kernel lockstat profiling on an 8-way create
workload shows the mp->m_perag_lock has higher acquisition rates
than the inode lock and has significantly more contention. That is,
it becomes the highest contended lock in the system.
The perag lookup is trivial to convert to lock-less RCU lookups
because perag structures never go away. Hence the only thing we need
to protect against is tree structure changes during a grow. This can
be done simply by replacing the locking in xfs_perag_get() with RCU
read locking. This removes the mp->m_perag_lock completely from this

The implementation os ->kill_root only differ by either simply
zeroing out the now unused buffer in the btree cursor in the inode
allocation btree or using xfs_btree_setbuf in the allocation btree.
Initially both of them used xfs_btree_setbuf, but the use in the
ialloc btree was removed early on because it interacted badly with
xfs_trans_binval.
In addition to zeroing out the buffer in the cursor xfs_btree_setbuf
updates the bc_ra array in the btree cursor, and calls
xfs_trans_brelse on the buffer previous occupying the slot.
The bc_ra update should be done for the alloc btree updated too,
although the lack of it does not cause serious problems. The
xfs_trans_brelse call on the other hand is effectively a no-op in
the end - it keeps decrementing the bli_recur refcount until it hits
zero, and then just skips out because the buffer will always be
dirty at this point. So removing it for the allocation btree is
just fine.
So unify the code and move it to xfs_btree.c. While we're at it
also replace the call to xfs_btree_setbuf with a NULL bp argument in
xfs_btree_del_cursor with a direct call to xfs_trans_brelse given
that the cursor is beeing freed just after this and the state
updates are superflous. After this xfs_btree_setbuf is only used
with a non-NULL bp argument and can thus be simplified.

At least one board using the FEC driver does not have a conventional

present the usual register interface of a PHY, it presents nothing.
So a PHY scan will find nothing - it finds ID's of 0 for each PHY
on the attached MII bus.
After the FEC driver was changed to use phylib for supporting PHYs
it no longer works on this particular board/switch setup.

Time stamps for the ring buffer are created by the difference between
two events. Each page of the ring buffer holds a full 64 bit timestamp.
Each event has a 27 bit delta stamp from the last event. The unit of time
is nanoseconds, so 27 bits can hold ~134 milliseconds. If two events
happen more than 134 milliseconds apart, a time extend is inserted
to add more bits for the delta. The time extend has 59 bits, which
is good for ~18 years.
Currently the time extend is committed separately from the event.
If an event is discarded before it is committed, due to filtering,
the time extend still exists. If all events are being filtered, then
after ~134 milliseconds a new time extend will be added to the buffer.
This can only happen till the end of the page. Since each page holds
a full timestamp, there is no reason to add a time extend to the
beginning of a page. Time extends can only fill a page that has actual
data at the beginning, so there is no fear that time extends will fill
more than a page without any data.
When reading an event, a loop is made to skip over time extends
since they are only used to maintain the time stamp and are never
given to the caller. As a paranoid check to prevent the loop running
forever, with the knowledge that time extends may only fill a page,
a check is made that tests the iteration of the loop, and if the
iteration is more than the number of time extends that can fit in a page
a warning is printed and the ring buffer is disabled (all of ftrace
is also disabled with it).
There is another event type that is called a TIMESTAMP which can
hold 64 bits of data in the theoretical case that two events happen
18 years apart. This code has not been implemented, but the name
of this event exists, as well as the structure for it. The
size of a TIMESTAMP is 16 bytes, where as a time extend is only
8 bytes. The macro used to calculate how many time extends can fit on
a page used the TIMESTAMP size instead of the time extend size
cutting the amount in half.
The following test case can easily trigger the warning since we only
need to have half the page filled with time extends to trigger the
warning:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
# echo function > current_tracer
# echo 'common_pid < 0' > events/ftrace/function/filter
# echo > trace
# echo 1 > trace_marker
# sleep 120
# cat trace
Enabling the function tracer and then setting the filter to only trace
functions where the process id is negative (no events), then clearing
the trace buffer to ensure that we have nothing in the buffer,
then write to trace_marker to add an event to the beginning of a page,
sleep for 2 minutes (only 35 seconds is probably needed, but this
guarantees the bug), and then finally reading the trace which will
trigger the bug.
This patch fixes the typo and prevents the false positive of that warning.

This patch disables the fanotify syscalls by just not building them and
letting the cond_syscall() statements in kernel/sys_ni.c redirect them
to sys_ni_syscall().
It was pointed out by Tvrtko Ursulin that the fanotify interface did not
include an explicit prioritization between groups. This is necessary
for fanotify to be usable for hierarchical storage management software,
as they must get first access to the file, before inotify-like notifiers
see the file.
This feature can be added in an ABI compatible way in the next release
(by using a number of bits in the flags field to carry the info) but it
was suggested by Alan that maybe we should just hold off and do it in
the next cycle, likely with an (new) explicit argument to the syscall.
I don't like this approach best as I know people are already starting to
use the current interface, but Alan is all wise and noone on list backed
me up with just using what we have. I feel this is needlessly ripping
the rug out from under people at the last minute, but if others think it
needs to be a new argument it might be the best way forward.
Three choices:
Go with what we got (and implement the new feature next cycle). Add a
new field right now (and implement the new feature next cycle). Wait
till next cycle to release the ABI (and implement the new feature next
