The new commit code fails to copy the verifier into the wb_verf field
of _all_ the nfs_page structures; it only copies it into the first entry.
The consequence is that most requests end up failing to match in
nfs_commit_release.
Fix is to copy the verifier into the req->wb_verf field in
nfs_write_completion.

We have to unlock the nfs_page before we call nfs_end_page_writeback
to avoid races with functions that expect the page to be unlocked
when PG_locked and PG_writeback are not set.
The problem is that nfs_unlock_request also releases the nfs_page,
causing a deadlock if the release of the nfs_open_context
triggers an iput() while the PG_writeback flag is still set...
The solution is to separate the unlocking and release of the nfs_page,
so that we can do the former before nfs_end_page_writeback and the
latter after.

Decouple nfs_pgio_header and nfs_write_data, and have (possibly
multiple) nfs_write_datas each take a refcount on nfs_pgio_header.
For the moment keeps nfs_write_header as a way to preallocate a single
nfs_write_data with the nfs_pgio_header. The code doesn't need this,
and would be prettier without, but given the amount of churn I am
already introducing I didn't want to play with tuning new mempools.
This also fixes bug in pnfs_ld_handle_write_error. In the case of
desc->pg_bsize < PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, the pages list was empty, causing

In order to avoid duplicating all the data in nfs_read_data whenever we
split it up into multiple RPC calls (either due to a short read result
or due to rsize < PAGE_SIZE), we split out the bits that are the same
per RPC call into a separate "header" structure.
The goal this patch moves towards is to have a single header
refcounted by several rpc_data structures. Thus, want to always refer
from rpc_data to the header, and not the other way. This patch comes
close to that ideal, but the directio code currently needs some
special casing, isolated in the nfs_direct_[read_write]hdr_release()
functions. This will be dealt with in a future patch.

Move more pnfs-isms out of the generic commit code.
Bugfixes:
- filelayout_scan_commit_lists doesn't need to get/put the lseg.
In fact since it is run under the inode->i_lock, the lseg_put()
can deadlock.
- Ensure that we distinguish between what needs to be done for
commit-to-data server and what needs to be done for commit-to-MDS
using the new flag PG_COMMIT_TO_DS. Otherwise we may end up calling
put_lseg() on a bucket for a struct nfs_page that got written
through the MDS.
- Fix a case where we were using list_del() on an nfs_page->wb_list
instead of list_del_init().
- filelayout_initiate_commit needs to call filelayout_commit_release
on error instead of the mds_ops->rpc_release(). Otherwise it won't
clear the commit lock.
Cleanups:
- Let the files layout manage the commit lists for the pNFS case.
Don't expose stuff like pnfs_choose_commit_list, and the fact
that the commit buckets hold references to the layout segment
in common code.
- Cast out the put_lseg() calls for the struct nfs_read/write_data->lseg
into the pNFS layer from whence they came.
- Let the pNFS layer manage the NFS_INO_PNFS_COMMIT bit.

This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage. Async compaction
maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT.
For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is
used.
This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time,
particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a
large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support
->writepages.

Asynchronous compaction is used when allocating transparent hugepages to
avoid blocking for long periods of time. Due to reports of stalling,
there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely
impacted allocation success rates. Part of the reason was that many dirty
pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check;
if (PageDirty(page) && !sync &&
mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page)
rc = -EBUSY;
This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though
it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking. This
patch updates the ->migratepage callback with a "sync" parameter. It is
the responsibility of the callback to fail gracefully if migration would
block.

We have no business doing any this in the standard write release path.
Get rid of it, and put it in the pNFS layer.
Also, while we're at it, get rid of the completely bogus unlock/relock
semantics that were present in nfs_writeback_release_full(). It is
not only unnecessary, but actually dangerous to release the write lock
just in order to take it again in nfs_page_async_flush(). Better just
to open code the pgio operations in a pnfs helper.

nfs_find_and_lock_request will take a reference to the nfs_page and
will then put it if the req is already locked. It's possible though
that the reference will be the last one. That put then can kick off
a whole series of reference puts:
nfs_page
nfs_open_context
dentry
inode
If the inode ends up being deleted, then the VFS will call
truncate_inode_pages. That function will try to take the page lock, but
it was already locked when migrate_page was called. The code
deadlocks.
Fix this by simply refusing the migration request if PagePrivate is
already set, indicating that the page is already associated with an
active read or write request.
We've had a customer test a backported version of this patch and
the preliminary results seem good.

commit 420e3646 allowed the kernel to reduce the number of unnecessary
commit calls by skipping the commit when there are a large number of
outstanding pages.
However, the current test in nfs_commit_unstable_pages does not handle
the edge condition properly. When ncommit == 0, then that means that the
kernel doesn't need to do anything more for the inode. The current test
though in the WB_SYNC_NONE case will return true, and the inode will end
up being marked dirty. Once that happens the inode will never be clean
until there's a WB_SYNC_ALL flush.
Fix this by immediately returning from nfs_commit_unstable_pages when
ncommit == 0.
Mike noticed this problem initially in RHEL5 (2.6.18-based kernel) which
has a backported version of 420e3646. The inode cache there was growing
very large. The inode cache was unable to be shrunk since the inodes
were all marked dirty. Calling sync() would essentially "fix" the
problem -- the WB_SYNC_ALL flush would result in the inodes all being
marked clean.
What I'm not clear on is how big a problem this is in mainline kernels
as the writeback code there is very different. Either way, it seems
incorrect to re-mark the inode dirty in this case.
