The filelayout driver sends LAYOUTCOMMIT only when COMMIT goes to
the data server (as opposed to the MDS) and the data server WRITE
is not NFS_FILE_SYNC.
Only whole file layout support means that there is only one IOMODE_RW layout
segment.

We create three major hooks for the pnfs code.
pnfs_mark_request_commit() is called during writeback_done from
nfs_mark_request_commit, which gives the driver an opportunity to
claim it wants control over commiting a particular req.
pnfs_choose_commit_list() is called from nfs_scan_list
to choose which list a given req should be added to, based on
where we intend to send it for COMMIT. It is up to the driver
to have preallocated list headers for each destination it may need.
pnfs_commit_list() is how the driver actually takes control, it is
used instead of nfs_commit_list().
In order to pass information between the above functions, we create
a union in nfs_page to hold a lseg (which is possible because the req is
not on any list while in transition), and add some flags to indicate
if we need to use the pnfs code.

When one of the two waits in nfs_commit_inode() is interrupted, it
returns a non-negative value, which causes nfs_wb_page() to think
that the operation was successful causing it to busy-loop rather
than exiting.
It also causes nfs_file_fsync() to incorrectly report the file as
being successfully committed to disk.
This patch fixes both problems by ensuring that we return an error
if the attempts to wait fail.

I've been adding in more artificial delays in the NFSv4 commit and close
codepaths to uncover races. The kernel I'm testing has the patch to
close the race in __rpc_wait_for_completion_task that's in Trond's
cthon2011 branch. The reproducer I've been using does this in a loop:
mkdir("DIR");
fd = open("DIR/FILE", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0644);
write(fd, "abcdefg", 7);
close(fd);
unlink("DIR/FILE");
rmdir("DIR");
The above reproducer shouldn't result in any silly-renaming. However,
when I add a "msleep(100)" just after the nfs_commit_clear_lock call in
nfs_commit_release, I can almost always force one to occur. If I can
force it to occur with that, then it can happen without that delay
given the right timing.
nfs_commit_inode waits for the NFS_INO_COMMIT bit to clear when called
with FLUSH_SYNC set. nfs_commit_rpcsetup on the other hand does not wait
for the task to complete before putting its reference to it, so the last
reference get put in rpc_release task and gets queued to a workqueue.
In this situation, the last open context reference may be put by the
COMMIT release instead of the close() syscall. The close() syscall
returns too quickly and the unlink runs while the d_count is still
high since the COMMIT release hasn't put its dentry reference yet.
Fix this by having rpc_commit_rpcsetup wait for the RPC call to complete
before putting the task reference when FLUSH_SYNC is set. With this, the
last reference is put by the process that's initiating the FLUSH_SYNC
commit and the race is closed.

When a nfs_page is freed, nfs_free_request is called which also calls
nfs_clear_request to clean out the lock and open contexts and free the
pagecache page.
However, a couple of places in the nfs code call nfs_clear_request
themselves. What happens here if the refcount on the request is still high?
We'll be releasing contexts and freeing pointers while the request is
possibly still in use.
Remove those bare calls to nfs_clear_context. That should only be done when
the request is being freed.
Note that when doing this, we need to watch out for tests of req->wb_page.
Previously, nfs_set_page_tag_locked() and nfs_clear_page_tag_locked()
would check the value of req->wb_page to figure out if the page is mapped
into the nfsi->nfs_page_tree. We now indicate the page is mapped using
the new bit PG_MAPPED in req->wb_flags .

This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efe
(writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks). There are
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.

WB_SYNC_NONE is supposed to mean "don't wait on anything". That should
also include not waiting for COMMIT calls to complete.
WB_SYNC_NONE is also implied when wbc->nonblocking and
wbc->for_background are set, so we can replace those checks in
nfs_commit_unstable_pages with a check for WB_SYNC_NONE.

J.R. Okajima reports that the call to sync_inode() in nfs_wb_page() can
deadlock with other writeback flush calls. It boils down to the fact
that we cannot ever call writeback_single_inode() while holding a page
lock (even if we do set nr_to_write to zero) since another process may
already be waiting in the call to do_writepages(), and so will deny us
the I_SYNC lock.
