2012-05-31jffs2: get rid of jffs2_sync_superArtem Bityutskiy4-21/+58
Currently JFFS2 file-system maps the VFS "superblock" abstraction to the write-buffer. Namely, it uses VFS services to synchronize the write-buffer periodically. The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the 'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and writes out all dirty superblock using the '->write_super()' call-back. But the problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every 5 seconds no matter what. So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to make file-systems to stop using the '->write_super' VFS service, and then remove it together with the kernel thread. This patch switches the JFFS2 write-buffer management from '->write_super()'/'->s_dirt' to a delayed work. Instead of setting the 's_dirt' flag we just schedule a delayed work for synchronizing the write-buffer.

2012-05-31jffs2: remove unnecessary GC pass on syncArtem Bityutskiy1-2/+0
We do not need to call 'jffs2_write_super()' on sync. This function causes a GC pass to make sure the current contents is pushed out with the data which we already have on the media. But this is not needed on unmount and only slows sync down unnecessarily. It is enough to just sync the write-buffer. This call was added by one of the generic VFS rework patch-sets, see d579ed00aa96a7f7486978540a0d7cecaff742ae.

2012-05-30brlocks/lglocks: API cleanupsAndi Kleen6-95/+96
lglocks and brlocks are currently generated with some complicated macros in lglock.h. But there's no reason to not just use common utility functions and put all the data into a common data structure. In preparation, this patch changes the API to look more like normal function calls with pointers, not magic macros. The patch is rather large because I move over all users in one go to keep it bisectable. This impacts the VFS somewhat in terms of lines changed. But no actual behaviour change.

2012-05-30brlocks/lglocks: turn into functionsAndi Kleen5-102/+117
lglocks and brlocks are currently generated with some complicated macros in lglock.h. But there's no reason to not just use common utility functions and put all the data into a common data structure. Since there are at least two users it makes sense to share this code in a library. This is also easier maintainable than a macro forest. This will also make it later possible to dynamically allocate lglocks and also use them in modules (this would both still need some additional, but now straightforward, code) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Pull NFS client updates from Trond Myklebust: "New features include: - Rewrite the O_DIRECT code so that it can share the same coalescing and pNFS functionality as the page cache code. - Allow the server to provide hints as to when we should use pNFS, and when it is more efficient to read and write through the metadata server. - NFS cache consistency updates: * Use the ctime to emulate a change attribute for NFSv2/v3 so that all NFS versions can share the same cache management code. * New cache management code will only look at the change attribute and size attribute when deciding whether or not our cached data is still valid or not. * Don't request NFSv4 post-op attributes on writes in cases such as O_DIRECT, where we don't care about data cache consistency, or when we have a write delegation, and know that our cache is still consistent. * Don't request NFSv4 post-op attributes on operations such as COMMIT, where there are no expected metadata updates. * Don't request NFSv4 directory post-op attributes in cases where the operations themselves already return change attribute updates: i.e. operations such as OPEN, CREATE, REMOVE, LINK and RENAME. - Speed up 'ls' and friends by using READDIR rather than READDIRPLUS if we detect no attempts to lookup filenames. - Improve the code sharing between NFSv2/v3 and v4 mounts - NFSv4.1 state management efficiency improvements - More patches in preparation for NFSv4/v4.1 migration functionality."

This is caused by tty_release using tty_lock_pair to lock both sides of the pty/tty pair, and then tty_ldisc_release dropping and relocking one side only. We can drop both fine, so drop both to avoid any lock ordering concerns. Rework the release path to fix the new locking model.
