Remove the recently-added LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE and LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT fadvise() additions, do it in a new sys_sync_file_range() syscall instead. Reasons: - It's more flexible. Things which would require two or three syscalls with fadvise() can be done in a single syscall. - Using fadvise() in this manner is something not covered by POSIX. The patch wires up the syscall for x86. The sycall is implemented in the new fs/sync.c. The intention is that we can move sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and perhaps sys_sync() into there later. Documentation for the syscall is in fs/sync.c. A test app (sync_file_range.c) is in http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz. The available-to-GPL-modules do_sync_file_range() is for knfsd: "A COMMIT can say NFS_DATA_SYNC or NFS_FILE_SYNC. I can skip the ->fsync call for NFS_DATA_SYNC which is hopefully the more common." Note: the `async' writeout mode SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE will turn synchronous if the queue is congested. This is trivial to fix: add a new flag bit, set wbc->nonblocking. But I'm not sure that we want to expose implementation details down to that level. Note: it's notable that we can sync an fd which wasn't opened for writing. Same with fsync() and fdatasync()). Note: the code takes some care to handle attempts to sync file contents outside the 16TB offset on 32-bit machines. It makes such attempts appear to succeed, for best 32-bit/64-bit compatibility. Perhaps it should make such requests fail...

/*
|
|
* sys_sync_file_range() permits finely controlled syncing over a segment of
|
|
* a file in the range offset .. (offset+nbytes-1) inclusive. If nbytes is
|
|
* zero then sys_sync_file_range() will operate from offset out to EOF.
|
|
*
|
|
* The flag bits are:
|
|
*
|
|
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE: wait upon writeout of all pages in the range
|
|
* before performing the write.
|
|
*
|
|
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: initiate writeout of all those dirty pages in the
|
|
* range which are not presently under writeback.
|
|
*
|
|
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER: wait upon writeout of all pages in the range
|
|
* after performing the write.
|
|
*
|
|
* Useful combinations of the flag bits are:
|
|
*
|
|
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: ensures that all pages
|
|
* in the range which were dirty on entry to sys_sync_file_range() are placed
|
|
* under writeout. This is a start-write-for-data-integrity operation.
|
|
*
|
|
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: start writeout of all dirty pages in the range which
|
|
* are not presently under writeout. This is an asynchronous flush-to-disk
|
|
* operation. Not suitable for data integrity operations.
|
|
*
|
|
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE (or SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER): wait for
|
|
* completion of writeout of all pages in the range. This will be used after an
|
|
* earlier SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE operation to wait
|
|
* for that operation to complete and to return the result.
|
|
*
|
|
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER:
|
|
* a traditional sync() operation. This is a write-for-data-integrity operation
|
|
* which will ensure that all pages in the range which were dirty on entry to
|
|
* sys_sync_file_range() are committed to disk.
|
|
*
|
|
*
|
|
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE and SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER will detect any
|
|
* I/O errors or ENOSPC conditions and will return those to the caller, after
|
|
* clearing the EIO and ENOSPC flags in the address_space.
|
|
*
|
|
* It should be noted that none of these operations write out the file's
|
|
* metadata. So unless the application is strictly performing overwrites of
|
|
* already-instantiated disk blocks, there are no guarantees here that the data
|
|
* will be available after a crash.
