Mike Marshall 974ca069d5 orangefs: get rid of knob code... 
commit ec95f1dedc upstream.

Christoph Hellwig sent in a reversion of "orangefs: remember count
when reading." because:

  ->read_iter calls can race with each other and one or
  more ->flush calls. Remove the the scheme to store the read
  count in the file private data as is is completely racy and
  can cause use after free or double free conditions

Christoph's reversion caused Orangefs not to work or to compile. I
added a patch that fixed that, but intel's kbuild test robot pointed
out that sending Christoph's patch followed by my patch upstream, it
would break bisection because of the failure to compile. So I have
combined the reversion plus my patch... here's the commit message
that was in my patch:

  Logically, optimal Orangefs "pages" are 4 megabytes. Reading
  large Orangefs files 4096 bytes at a time is like trying to
  kick a dead whale down the beach. Before Christoph's "Revert
  orangefs: remember count when reading." I tried to give users
  a knob whereby they could, for example, use "count" in
  read(2) or bs with dd(1) to get whatever they considered an
  appropriate amount of bytes at a time from Orangefs and fill
  as many page cache pages as they could at once.

  Without the racy code that Christoph reverted Orangefs won't
  even compile, much less work. So this replaces the logic that
  used the private file data that Christoph reverted with
  a static number of bytes to read from Orangefs.

  I ran tests like the following to determine what a
  reasonable static number of bytes might be:

  dd if=/pvfsmnt/asdf of=/dev/null count=128 bs=4194304
  dd if=/pvfsmnt/asdf of=/dev/null count=256 bs=2097152
  dd if=/pvfsmnt/asdf of=/dev/null count=512 bs=1048576
                            .
                            .
                            .
  dd if=/pvfsmnt/asdf of=/dev/null count=4194304 bs=128

  Reads seem faster using the static number, so my "knob code"
  wasn't just racy, it wasn't even a good idea...

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
