TIME_METADATA as writeable.  It's read-only in rfc 3530, and shouldn't

1a747ee0cc locks: don't call ->copy_lock methods on return of conflicting locks
The file_lock structure is used both as a heavy-weight representation of
an active lock, with pointers to reference-counted structures, etc., and
as a simple container for parameters that describe a file lock.

The conflicting lock returned from __posix_lock_file is an example of
the latter; so don't call the filesystem or lock manager callbacks when
copying to it.  This also saves the need for an unnecessary
locks_init_lock in the nfsv4 server.

Thanks to Trond for pointing out the error.

Add /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_filesystem, which allows e.g.:

shell> echo /mnt/sfs1 > /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_filesystem

so that a filesystem can be unmounted before allowing a peer nfsd to

4373ea84c8 lockd: unlock lockd locks associated with a given server ip
For high-availability NFS service, we generally need to be able to drop
file locks held on the exported filesystem before moving clients to a
new server.  Currently the only way to do that is by shutting down lockd
entirely, which is often undesireable (for example, if you want to
continue exporting other filesystems).

This patch allows the administrator to release all locks held by clients
accessing the client through a given server ip address, by echoing that
address to a new file, /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_ip, as in:

shell> echo 10.1.1.2 > /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_ip

The expected sequence of events can be:
1. Tear down the IP address
2. Unexport the path
3. Write IP to /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_ip to unlock files
4. Signal peer to begin take-over.

For now we only support IPv4 addresses and NFSv2/v3 (NFSv4 locks are not
affected).

Also, if unmounting the filesystem is required, we assume at step 3 that
clients using the given server ip are the only clients holding locks on
the given filesystem; otherwise, an additional patch is required to
allow revoking all locks held by lockd on a given filesystem.

1908555767 leases: move lock allocation earlier in generic_setlease()
In generic_setlease(), the struct file_lock is allocated after tests for the
presence of conflicting readers/writers is done, despite the fact that the
allocation might block; this patch moves the allocation earlier.  A subsequent
set of patches will rely on this behavior to properly serialize between a
modified __break_lease() and generic_setlease().

cc9429bcb6 ieee1394: rawiso: requeue packet for transmission after skipped cycle
As it seems, some host controllers have issues that can cause them to
skip cycles now and then when using large packets. I suspect that this
is due to DMA not succeeding in time. If the transmit fifo can't contain
more than one packet (big packets), the DMA should provide a new packet
each cycle (125us). I am under the impression that my current PCI
express test system can't guarantee this.

In any case, the patch tries to provide a workaround as follows:
The DMA program descriptors are modified such that when an error occurs,
the DMA engine retries the descriptor the next cycle instead of
stalling. This way no data is lost. The side effect of this is that
packets are sent with one cycle delay. This however might not be that
much of a problem for certain protocols (e.g. AM824). If they use
padding packets for e.g. rate matching they can drop one of those to
resync the streams.

The amount of skips between two userspace wakeups is counted. This
number is then propagated to userspace through the upper 16 bits of the
'dropped' parameter. This allows unmodified userspace applications due
to the following:
1) libraw simply passes this dropped parameter to the user application
2) the meaning of the dropped parameter is: if it's nonzero, something
bad has happened. The actual value of the parameter at this moment does
not have a specific meaning.

A libraw client can then retrieve the number of skipped cycles and
account for them if needed.

f8f95702f0 [PATCH] sanitize locate_fd()
* 'file' argument is unused; lose it.
* move setting flags from the caller (dupfd()) to locate_fd();
  pass cloexec flag as new argument.  Note that files_fdtable()
  that used to be in dupfd() isn't needed in the place in
  locate_fd() where the moved code ends up - we know that ->file_lock
  hadn't been dropped since the last time we calculated fdt because
  we can get there only if expand_files() returns 0 and it doesn't
  drop/reacquire in that case.
* move getting/dropping ->file_lock into locate_fd().  Now the caller
  doesn't need to do anything with files_struct *files anymore and
  we can move that inside locate_fd() as well, killing the
  struct files_struct * argument.

At that point locate_fd() is extremely similar to get_unused_fd_flags()
and the next patches will merge those two.

7ff14a3615 dm: unplug queues in threads
Remove an avoidable 3ms delay on some dm-raid1 and kcopyd I/O.

It is specified that any submitted bio without BIO_RW_SYNC flag may plug the
queue (i.e. block the requests from being dispatched to the physical device).

The queue is unplugged when the caller calls blk_unplug() function. Usually, the
sequence is that someone calls submit_bh to submit IO on a buffer. The IO plugs
the queue and waits (to be possibly joined with other adjacent bios). Then, when
the caller calls wait_on_buffer(), it unplugs the queue and submits the IOs to
the disk.

This was happenning:

When doing O_SYNC writes, function fsync_buffers_list() submits a list of
bios to dm_raid1, the bios are added to dm_raid1 write queue and kmirrord is
woken up.

fsync_buffers_list() calls wait_on_buffer().  That unplugs the queue, but
there are no bios on the device queue as they are still in the dm_raid1 queue.

wait_on_buffer() starts waiting until the IO is finished.

kmirrord is scheduled, kmirrord takes bios and submits them to the devices.

The submitted bio plugs the harddisk queue but there is no one to unplug it.
(The process that called wait_on_buffer() is already sleeping.)

So there is a 3ms timeout, after which the queues on the harddisks are
unplugged and requests are processed.

This 3ms timeout meant that in certain workloads (e.g. O_SYNC, 8kb writes),
dm-raid1 is 10 times slower than md raid1.

Every time we submit something asynchronously via dm_io, we must unplug the
queue actually to send the request to the device.

This patch adds an unplug call to kmirrord - while processing requests, it keeps
the queue plugged (so that adjacent bios can be merged); when it finishes
processing all the bios, it unplugs the queue to submit the bios.

It also fixes kcopyd which has the same potential problem. All kcopyd requests
are submitted with BIO_RW_SYNC.

This patch replaces the schedule() in the main kmirrord thread with a timer.
The schedule() could introduce an unwanted delay when work is ready to be
processed.

The code instead calls wake() when there's work to be done immediately, and
delayed_wake() after a failure to give a short delay before retrying.
