      mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache · 91b0abe3
      Johannes Weiner authored 
      

Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.

Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

      mm: filemap: move radix tree hole searching here · e7b563bb
      Johannes Weiner authored 
      

The radix tree hole searching code is only used for page cache, for
example the readahead code trying to get a a picture of the area
surrounding a fault.

It sufficed to rely on the radix tree definition of holes, which is
"empty tree slot".  But this is about to change, though, as shadow page
descriptors will be stored in the page cache after the actual pages get
evicted from memory.

Move the functions over to mm/filemap.c and make them native page cache
operations, where they can later be adapted to handle the new definition
of "page cache hole".

      fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs() · 02b9984d
      Theodore Ts'o authored 
      

Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the
file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied,
unconditional syncfs().  This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly
documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful,
except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting
remounted read-only.

However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are
actually depending on this behavior.  In most file systems, it's
probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from
read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is
not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something
like romfs).

      NFS: Do not set NFS_INO_INVALID_LABEL unless server supports labeled NFS · fd1defc2
      Trond Myklebust authored 
      

Commit aa9c2669 (NFS: Client implementation of Labeled-NFS) introduces
a performance regression. When nfs_zap_caches_locked is called, it sets
the NFS_INO_INVALID_LABEL flag irrespectively of whether or not the
NFS server supports security labels. Since that flag is never cleared,
it means that all calls to nfs_revalidate_inode() will now trigger
an on-the-wire GETATTR call.

This patch ensures that we never set the NFS_INO_INVALID_LABEL unless the
server advertises support for labeled NFS.
It also causes nfs_setsecurity() to clear NFS_INO_INVALID_LABEL when it
has successfully set the security label for the inode.
Finally it gets rid of the NFS_INO_INVALID_LABEL cruft from nfs_update_inode,
which has nothing to do with labeled NFS.
