This is an addendum to the new AOPs work which moves the point
at which we take the page lock so that we don't get it until
the last possible moment. This resolves a conflict between
starting transactions and the page lock.

This patch resolves a lock ordering issue where we had been getting
a transaction lock in the wrong order with respect to the page lock.
By using writepages rather than just writepage, it is then possible
to start a transaction before locking the page, and thus matching the
locking order elsewhere in the code.

This patch splits gfs2_writepage into separate functions for each of
the three cases: writeback, ordered and journalled. As a result
it becomes a lot easier to see what each one is doing. The common
code is moved into gfs2_writepage_common.
This fixes a performance bug where we were doing more work than
strictly required in the ordered write case.

Just like ext3 we now have three sets of address space operations
to cover the cases of writeback, ordered and journalled data
writes. This means that the individual operations can now become
less complicated as we are able to remove some of the tests for
file data mode from the code.

This adds a function "gfs2_is_writeback()" along the lines of the
existing "gfs2_is_jdata()" in order to clean up the code and make
the various tests for the inode mode more obvious. It also fixes
the PageChecked() logic where we were resetting the flag too early
in the case of an error path.

The i_cache was designed to keep references to the indirect blocks
used during block mapping so that they didn't have to be looked
up continually. The idea failed because there are too many places
where the i_cache needs to be freed, and this has in the past been
the cause of many bugs.
In addition there was no performance benefit being gained since the
disk blocks in question were cached anyway. So this patch removes
it in order to simplify the code to prepare for other changes which
would otherwise have had to add further support for this feature.

This cleans up the mmap() code path for GFS2 by implementing the
page_mkwrite function for GFS2. We are thus able to use the
generic filemap_fault function for our ->fault() implementation.
This now means that shared writable mappings will be much more
efficiently shared across the cluster if there is a reasonable
proportion of read activity (the greater proportion, the better).
As a side effect, it also reduces the size of the code, removes
special cases from readpage and readpages, and makes the code
path easier to follow.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
As requested by Christoph, this patch cleans up GFS2's internal
read function so that it no longer uses the do_generic_mapping_read
function. This function is obsolete and GFS2 is the last user of it.
As a side effect the internal read code gets smaller and easier
to read and gfs2_readpage is split into two. One function has the locking
and the other function has the rest of the logic.

Fix a race condition where multiple glock demote requests are sent to
a node back-to-back. This patch does a check inside handle_callback()
to see whether a demote request is in progress. If true, it sets a flag
to make sure run_queue() will loop again to handle the new request,
instead of erronously setting gl_demote_state to a different state.

kinds of IDs that we're already printing are for the cpu core and

Keep track of processes being debugged (including the kernel itself)
and turn the OCD system on and off as appropriate. Since enabling
debugging turns off some optimizations in the CPU core, this fixes the
issue that enabling KProbes support or simply running a program under
gdbserver will reduce system performance significantly until the next
reboot.
The CPU performance will still be reduced for all processes while a
process is being debugged, but this is a lot better than reducing the
performance forever.

arch_ptrace_attach() is a hook that allows the architecture to do
book-keeping after a ptrace attach. This patch adds a call to this
hook when handling a PTRACE_TRACEME request as well.
Currently only one architecture, m32r, implements this hook. When
called, it initializes a number of debug trap slots in the ptraced
task's thread struct, and it looks to me like this is the right thing
to do after a PTRACE_TRACEME request as well, not only after
PTRACE_ATTACH. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I want to use this hook on AVR32 to turn the debugging hardware on
when a process is actually being debugged and keep it off otherwise.
To be able to do this, I need to intercept PTRACE_TRACEME and
PTRACE_ATTACH, as well as PTRACE_DETACH and thread exit. The latter
two can be handled by existing hooks.
