Currently we cap the rsize at a value that fits in CIFSMaxBufSize. That's
not needed any longer for readpages. Allow the use of larger values for
readpages. cifs_iovec_read and cifs_read however are still limited to the
CIFSMaxBufSize. Make sure they don't exceed that.
The patch also changes the rsize defaults. The default when unix
extensions are enabled is set to 1M for parity with the wsize, and there
is a hard cap of ~16M.
When unix extensions are not enabled, the default is set to 60k. According
to MS-CIFS, Windows servers can only send a max of 60k at a time, so
this is more efficient than requesting a larger size. If the user wishes
however, the max can be extended up to 128k - the length of the READ_RSP
header.
Really old servers however require a special hack to ensure that we don't
request too large a read.

Now that we have code in place to do asynchronous reads, convert
cifs_readpages to use it. The new cifs_readpages walks the page_list
that gets passed in, locks and adds the pages to the pagecache and
sets up cifs_readdata to handle the reads.
The rest is handled by the cifs_async_readv infrastructure.

Thus spake Jeff Layton:
"Making that a module parm would allow you to set that parameter at boot
time without needing to add special startup scripts. IMO, all of the
procfile "switches" under /proc/fs/cifs should be module parms
instead."
This patch doesn't alter the default behavior (Oplocks are enabled by
default).
To disable oplocks when loading the module, use
modprobe cifs enable_oplocks=0
(any of '0' or 'n' or 'N' conventions can be used).
To disable oplocks at runtime using the new interface, use
echo 0 > /sys/module/cifs/parameters/enable_oplocks
The older /proc/fs/cifs/OplockEnabled interface will be deprecated
after two releases. A subsequent patch will add an warning message
about this deprecation.
Changes since v2:
- make enable_oplocks a 'bool'
Changes since v1:
- eliminate the use of extra variable by renaming the old one to
enable_oplocks and make it an 'int' type.

avoid that if we can.
Instead, just cancel any pending oplock breaks for this filehandle
synchronously in cifsFileInfo_put after taking it off the lists.

Have cifs_writepages issue asynchronous writes instead of waiting on
each write call to complete before issuing another. This also allows us
to return more quickly from writepages. It can just send out all of the
I/Os and not wait around for the replies.
In the WB_SYNC_ALL case, if the write completes with a retryable error,
then the completion workqueue job will resend the write.
This also changes the page locking semantics a little bit. Instead of
holding the page lock until the response is received, release it after
doing the send. This will reduce contention for the page lock and should
prevent processes that have the file mmap'ed from being blocked
unnecessarily.

This is more or less the same patch as before, but with some merge
conflicts fixed up.
If a process has a dirty page mapped into its page tables, then it has
the ability to change it while the client is trying to write the data
out to the server. If that happens after the signature has been
calculated then that signature will then be wrong, and the server will
likely reset the TCP connection.
This patch adds a page_mkwrite handler for CIFS that simply takes the
page lock. Because the page lock is held over the life of writepage and
writepages, this prevents the page from becoming writeable until
the write call has completed.
With this, we can also remove the "sign_zero_copy" module option and
always inline the pages when writing.

This flag currently only affects whether we allow "zero-copy" writes
with signing enabled. Typically we map pages in the pagecache directly
into the write request. If signing is enabled however and the contents
of the page change after the signature is calculated but before the
write is sent then the signature will be wrong. Servers typically
respond to this by closing down the socket.
Still, this can provide a performance benefit so the "Experimental" flag
was overloaded to allow this. That's really not a good place for this
option however since it's not clear what that flag does.
Move that flag instead to a new module parameter that better describes
its purpose. That's also better since it can be set at module insertion
time by configuring modprobe.d.

no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the
ext4 tracing interface.
The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the
flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on
IO congestion. The latter will lead to more seeky IO.
The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's
redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check.
We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because
a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code
b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior:
that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which
is unfair in terms of LRU age.

Convert this lock to a regular spinlock
A rwlock_t offers little value here. It's more expensive than a regular
spinlock unless you have a fairly large section of code that runs under
the read lock and can benefit from the concurrency.
Additionally, we need to ensure that the refcounting for files isn't
racy and to do that we need to lock areas that can increment it for
write. That means that the areas that can actually use a read_lock are
very few and relatively infrequently used.
While we're at it, change the name to something easier to type, and fix

The way flags are passed and converted for cifs_posix_open is rather
non-sensical. Some callers call cifs_posix_convert_flags on the flags
before they pass them to cifs_posix_open, whereas some don't. Two flag
conversion steps is just confusing though.
Change the function instead to clearly expect input in f_flags format,
and fix the callers to pass that in. Then, have cifs_posix_open call
cifs_convert_posix_flags to do the conversion. Move cifs_posix_open to
file.c as well so we can keep cifs_convert_posix_flags as a static

Fix it also to not ignore O_CREAT, O_EXCL and O_TRUNC, and instead have
cifs_reopen_file mask those bits off before calling cifs_posix_open.

Filesystems aren't really supposed to do anything with a vfsmount. It's
considered a layering violation since vfsmounts are entirely managed at
the VFS layer.
CIFS currently keeps an active reference to a vfsmount in order to
prevent the superblock vanishing before an oplock break has completed.
What we really want to do instead is to keep sb->s_active high until the
oplock break has completed. This patch borrows the scheme that NFS uses
for handling sillyrenames.
An atomic_t is added to the cifs_sb_info. When it transitions from 0 to
1, an extra reference to the superblock is taken (by bumping the
s_active value). When it transitions from 1 to 0, that reference is
dropped and a the superblock teardown may proceed if there are no more
references to it.
Also, the vfsmount pointer is removed from cifsFileInfo and from
cifs_new_fileinfo, and some bogus forward declarations are removed from
cifsfs.h.

cifsFileInfo is a bit problematic. It contains a reference back to the
struct file itself. This makes it difficult for a cifsFileInfo to exist
without a corresponding struct file.
It would be better instead of the cifsFileInfo just held info pertaining
to the open file on the server instead without any back refrences to the
struct file. This would allow it to exist after the filp to which it was
originally attached was closed.
Much of the use of the file pointer in this struct is to get at the
dentry. Begin divorcing the cifsFileInfo from the struct file by
keeping a reference to the dentry. Since the dentry will have a
reference to the inode, we can eliminate the "pInode" field too and
convert the igrab/iput to dget/dput.

Having cifs_posix_open call cifs_new_fileinfo is problematic and
inconsistent with how "regular" opens work. It's also buggy as

struct cifsFileInfo that just gets leaked.
Push it out into the callers. This also allows us to get rid of the
"mnt" arg to cifs_posix_open.
Finally, in the event that a cifsFileInfo isn't or can't be created, we
always want to close the filehandle out on the server as the client
won't have a record of the filehandle and can't actually use it. Make

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

cifs_revalidate_dentry is then changed to just update the attrcache if

There are some other behavior changes in here as well. Open files are
now allowed to have their caches invalidated. I see no reason why we'd
want to keep stale data around just because a file is open. Also,
cifs_revalidate_cache uses the server_eof for revalidating the file
size since that should more closely match the size of the file on the

While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until
Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems,
since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the
great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give
O_DSYNC" comment. This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC
semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics. After Jan's O_SYNC
patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly
simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to
vfs_fsync_range and when not.
This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's
numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC
flag. To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to
both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make
sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers.
This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can
just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only
places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition. Drivers and
network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the
full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set. The few places setting O_SYNC for
lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe.
We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path
to make sure we always get these sane options.
Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a
O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op. We try to repair it by using it for
the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional
O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

The patch to remove cifs_init_private introduced a locking imbalance. It
didn't remove the leftover list addition code and the unlocking in that
function. cifs_new_fileinfo does the list addition now, so there should
be no need to do it outside of that function.
pCifsInode will never be NULL, so we don't need to check for that. This
patch also gets rid of the ugly locking and unlocking across function
calls.

This is the fourth respin of the patch to convert oplock breaks to
use the slow_work facility.
A customer of ours was testing a backport of one of the earlier
patchsets, and hit a "Busy inodes after umount..." problem. An oplock
break job had raced with a umount, and the superblock got torn down and
its memory reused. When the oplock break job tried to dereference the
inode->i_sb, the kernel oopsed.
This patchset has the oplock break job hold an inode and vfsmount
reference until the oplock break completes. With this, there should be
no need to take a tcon reference (the vfsmount implicitly holds one
already).
Currently, when an oplock break comes in there's a chance that the
oplock break job won't occur if the allocation of the oplock_q_entry
fails. There are also some rather nasty races in the allocation and
handling these structs.
Rather than allocating oplock queue entries when an oplock break comes
in, add a few extra fields to the cifsFileInfo struct. Get rid of the
dedicated cifs_oplock_thread as well and queue the oplock break job to
the slow_work thread pool.
This approach also has the advantage that the oplock break jobs can
potentially run in parallel rather than be serialized like they are
today.

cifs_posix_open takes a "poplock" argument that's intended to be used in
the actual posix open call to set the "Flags" field. It ignores this
value however and declares an "oplock" parameter on the stack that it
passes uninitialized to the CIFSPOSIXOpen function. Not only does this
mean that the oplock request flags are bogus, but the result that's
expected to be in that variable is unchanged.
Fix this, and also clean up the type of the oplock parameter used. Since
it's expected to be __u32, we should use that everywhere and not
implicitly cast it from a signed type.

FreeXid() along with freeing Xid does add a cifsFYI debug message that
prints rc (return code) as well. In some code paths where we set/return
error code after calling FreeXid(), incorrect error code is being
printed when cifsFYI is enabled.
This could be misleading in few cases. For eg.
In cifs_open() if cifs_fill_filedata() returns a valid pointer to
cifsFileInfo, FreeXid() prints rc=-13 whereas 0 is actually being
returned. Fix this by setting rc before calling FreeXid().
Basically convert
FreeXid(xid); rc = -ERR;
return -ERR; => FreeXid(xid);
return rc;
[Note that Christoph would like to replace the GetXid/FreeXid
calls, which are primarily used for debugging. This seems
like a good longer term goal, but although there is an
alternative tracing facility, there are no examples yet
available that I know of that we can use (yet) to
convert this cifs function entry/exit logging, and for
creating an identifier that we can use to correlate
all dmesg log entries for a particular vfs operation
(ie identify all log entries for a particular vfs
request to cifs: e.g. a particular close or read or write
or byte range lock call ... and just using the thread id
is harder). Eventually when a replacement
for this is available (e.g. when NFS switches over and various
samples to look at in other file systems) we can remove the
GetXid/FreeXid macro but in the meantime multiple people
use this run time configurable logging all the time
for debugging, and Suresh's patch fixes a problem
which made it harder to notice some low
memory problems in the log so it is worthwhile
to fix this problem until a better logging

If this mount option is set, when an application does an
fsync call then the cifs client does not send an SMB Flush
to the server (to force the server to write all dirty data
for this file immediately to disk), although cifs still sends
all dirty (cached) file data to the server and waits for the
server to respond to the write write. Since SMB Flush can be
very slow, and some servers may be reliable enough (to risk
delaying slightly flushing the data to disk on the server),
turning on this option may be useful to improve performance for
applications that fsync too much, at a small risk of server
crash. If this mount option is not set, by default cifs will
send an SMB flush request (and wait for a response) on every
fsync call.

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.
The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).
This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

Some applications/subsystems require mandatory byte range locks
(as is used for Windows/DOS/OS2 etc). Sending advisory (posix style)
byte range lock requests (instead of mandatory byte range locks) can
lead to problems for these applications (which expect that other
clients be prevented from writing to portions of the file which
they have locked and are updating). This mount option allows
mounting cifs with the new mount option "forcemand" (or
"forcemandatorylock") in order to have the cifs client use mandatory
byte range locks (ie SMB/CIFS/Windows/NTFS style locks) rather than
posix byte range lock requests, even if the server would support
posix byte range lock requests. This has no effect if the server
does not support the CIFS Unix Extensions (since posix style locks
require support for the CIFS Unix Extensions), but for mounts
to Samba servers this can be helpful for Wine and applications
that require mandatory byte range locks.

Fixes a data corruption under heavy stress in which pages could be left
dirty after all open instances of a inode have been closed.
In order to write contiguous pages whenever possible, cifs_writepages()
asks pagevec_lookup_tag() for more pages than it may write at one time.
Normally, it then resets index just past the last page written before calling
pagevec_lookup_tag() again.
If cifs_writepages() can't write the first page returned, it wasn't resetting
index, and the next call to pagevec_lookup_tag() resulted in skipping all of
the pages it previously returned, even though cifs_writepages() did nothing
with them. This can result in data loss when the file descriptor is about
to be closed.
This patch ensures that index gets set back to the next returned page so
that none get skipped.

Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file
systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap
("anon"). The latter includes tmpfs.
The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots
of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to
find the page cache pages that it should evict.
This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much
we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists. The big
policy changes are in separate patches.

When the CIFS client goes to write out pages, it needs to pick a

filehandle to write to.

The direct I/O write codepath for CIFS is done through
cifs_user_write(). That function does not currently call
generic_write_checks() so the file position isn't being properly set
when the file is opened with O_APPEND. It's also not doing the other
"normal" checks that should be done for a write call.
The problem is currently that when you open a file with O_APPEND on a
mount with the directio mount option, the file position is set to the
beginning of the file. This makes any subsequent writes clobber the data
in the file starting at the beginning.
This seems to fix the problem in cursory testing. It is, however
important to note that NFS disallows the combination of
(O_DIRECT|O_APPEND). If my understanding is correct, the concern is
races with multiple clients appending to a file clobbering each others'
data. Since the write model for CIFS and NFS is pretty similar in this
regard, CIFS is probably subject to the same sort of races. What's
unclear to me is why this is a particular problem with O_DIRECT and not
with buffered writes...
Regardless, disallowing O_APPEND on an entire mount is probably not
reasonable, so we'll probably just have to deal with it and reevaluate
this flag combination when we get proper support for O_DIRECT. In the
meantime this patch at least fixes the existing problem.

With cifsacl mount option, when a file is created on the Windows server,
exclusive oplock is broken right away because the get cifs acl code
again opens the file to obtain security descriptor.
The client does not have the newly created file handle or inode in any
of its lists yet so it does not respond to oplock break and server waits for
its duration and then responds to the second open. This slows down file
creation signficantly. The fix is to pass the file descriptor to the get
cifsacl code wherever available so that get cifs acl code does not send
second open (NT Create ANDX) and oplock is not broken.

Fix RedHat bug 329431
The idea here is separate "conscious" from "unconscious" flushes.
Conscious flushes are those due to a fsync() or close(). Unconscious
ones are flushes that occur as a side effect of some other operation or
due to memory pressure.
Currently, when an error occurs during an unconscious flush (ENOSPC or
EIO), we toss out the page and don't preserve that error to report to
the user when a conscious flush occurs. If after the unconscious flush,
there are no more dirty pages for the inode, the conscious flush will
simply return success even though there were previous errors when writing
out pages. This can lead to data corruption.
The easiest way to reproduce this is to mount up a CIFS share that's
very close to being full or where the user is very close to quota. mv
a file to the share that's slightly larger than the quota allows. The
writes will all succeed (since they go to pagecache). The mv will do a
setattr to set the new file's attributes. This calls
filemap_write_and_wait,
which will return an error since all of the pages can't be written out.
Then later, when the flush and release ops occur, there are no more
dirty pages in pagecache for the file and those operations return 0. mv
then assumes that the file was written out correctly and deletes the
original.
CIFS already has a write_behind_rc variable where it stores the results
from earlier flushes, but that value is only reported in cifs_close.
Since the VFS ignores the return value from the release operation, this
isn't helpful. We should be reporting this error during the flush
operation.
This patch does the following:
1) changes cifs_fsync to use filemap_write_and_wait and cifs_flush and also
sync to check its return code. If it returns successful, they then check
the value of write_behind_rc to see if an earlier flush had reported any
errors. If so, they return that error and clear write_behind_rc.
2) sets write_behind_rc in a few other places where pages are written
out as a side effect of other operations and the code waits on them.
3) changes cifs_setattr to only call filemap_write_and_wait for
ATTR_SIZE changes.
4) makes cifs_writepages accurately distinguish between EIO and ENOSPC
errors when writing out pages.
Some simple testing indicates that the patch works as expected and that
it fixes the reproduceable known problem.

There is a 2nd change that needs to be made later
(pointed out by Jeremy Allison and Shaggy) in order to
prevent cifs_close ever freeing the cifs per file info
when a write is pending. Although we delay close from
freeing this memory for sufficiently long for all known
cases, ultimately on a very, very slow write
overlapping a close pending we need to allow close to return
(without freeing the cifs file info) and defer freeing the
memory to be the responsibility of the (sloooow) write
thread (presumably have to look at every place wrtPending
is decremented - and add a flag for deferred free for
after wrtPending goes to zero).

On a mount without posix extensions enabled, when an unlock request is
made, the client can release more than is intended. To reproduce, on a
CIFS mount without posix extensions enabled:
1) open file
2) do fcntl lock: start=0 len=1
3) do fcntl lock: start=2 len=1
4) do fcntl unlock: start=0 len=1
...on the unlock call the client sends an unlock request to the server
for both locks. The problem is a bad test in cifs_lock.

Pass the POSIX lock owner ID to the flush operation.
This is useful for filesystems which don't want to store any locking state
in inode->i_flock but want to handle locking/unlocking POSIX locks
internally. FUSE is one such filesystem but I think it possible that some
network filesystems would need this also.
Also add a flag to indicate that a POSIX locking request was generated by
close(), so filesystems using the above feature won't send an extra locking
request in this case.

When a writeback_control's `start' and `end' fields are used to
indicate a one-byte-range starting at file offset zero, the required
values of .start=0,.end=0 mean that the ->writepages() implementation
has no way of telling that it is being asked to perform a range
request. Because we're currently overloading (start == 0 && end == 0)
to mean "this is not a write-a-range request".
To make all this sane, the patch changes range of writeback_control.
So caller does: If it is calling ->writepages() to write pages, it
sets range (range_start/end or range_cyclic) always.
And if range_cyclic is true, ->writepages() thinks the range is
cyclic, otherwise it just uses range_start and range_end.
This patch does,
- Add LLONG_MAX, LLONG_MIN, ULLONG_MAX to include/linux/kernel.h
-1 is usually ok for range_end (type is long long). But, if someone did,
range_end += val; range_end is "val - 1"
u64val = range_end >> bits; u64val is "~(0ULL)"
or something, they are wrong. So, this adds LLONG_MAX to avoid nasty
things, and uses LLONG_MAX for range_end.
- All callers of ->writepages() sets range_start/end or range_cyclic.
- Fix updates of ->writeback_index. It seems already bit strange.
If it starts at 0 and ended by check of nr_to_write, this last
index may reduce chance to scan end of file. So, this updates
->writeback_index only if range_cyclic is true or whole-file is
scanned.

This patch add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait) and use it.
See mm/filemap.c:
And changes the filemap_write_and_wait() and filemap_write_and_wait_range().
Current filemap_write_and_wait() doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite()
returns error. However, even if filemap_fdatawrite() returned an
error, it may have submitted the partially data pages to the device.
(e.g. in the case of -ENOSPC)
<quotation>
Andrew Morton writes,
If filemap_fdatawrite() returns an error, this might be due to some
I/O problem: dead disk, unplugged cable, etc. Given the generally
crappy quality of the kernel's handling of such exceptions, there's a
good chance that the filemap_fdatawait() will get stuck in D state
forever.

So, this patch doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite() returns the -EIO.

The recent change to locks_remove_flock code in fs/locks.c changes how
byte range locks are removed from closing files, which shows up a bug in
cifs.
The assumption in the cifs code was that the close call sent to the
server would remove any pending locks on the server on this file, but
that is no longer safe as the fs/locks.c code on the client wants unlock
of 0 to PATH_MAX to remove all locks (at least from this client, it is
not possible AFAIK to remove all locks from other clients made to the
server copy of the file).
Note that cifs locks are different from posix locks - and it is not
possible to map posix locks perfectly on the wire yet, due to
restrictions of the cifs network protocol, even to Samba without adding
a new request type to the network protocol (which we plan to do for
Samba 3.0.21 within a few months), but the local client will have the
correct, posix view, of the lock in most cases.
The correct fix for cifs for this would involve a bigger change than I
would like to do this late in the 2.6.13-rc cycle - and would involve
cifs keeping track of all unmerged (uncoalesced) byte range locks for
each remote inode and scanning that list to remove locks that intersect
or fall wholly within the range - locks that intersect may have to be
reaquired with the smaller, remaining range.
