The system uses global_dirtyable_memory() to calculate number of
dirtyable pages/pages that can be allocated to the page cache. A bug
causes an underflow thus making the page count look like a big unsigned
number. This in turn confuses the dirty writeback throttling to
aggressively write back pages as they become dirty (usually 1 page at a
time). This generally only affects systems with highmem because the
underflowed count gets subtracted from the global count of dirtyable
memory.
The problem was introduced with v3.2-4896-gab8fabd
Fix is to ensure we don't get an underflowed total of either highmem or
global dirtyable memory.

isolate_freepages_block() and isolate_migratepages_range() are used for
CMA as well as compaction so it breaks build for CONFIG_CMA &&
!CONFIG_COMPACTION.
This patch fixes it.

This function is expected to be called from path-based syscalls to help
them decide whether to try the lookup and call again in the event that
they got an -ESTALE return back on an earier try.
Currently, we only retry the call once on an ESTALE error, but in the
event that we decide that that's not enough in the future, we should be
able to change the logic in this helper without too much effort.

NFS appears to use d_obtain_alias() to create the root dentry rather than
d_make_root. This can cause 'prepend_path()' to complain that the root
has a weird name if an NFS filesystem is lazily unmounted. e.g. if
"/mnt" is an NFS mount then
{ cd /mnt; umount -l /mnt ; ls -l /proc/self/cwd; }
will cause a WARN message like
WARNING: at /home/git/linux/fs/dcache.c:2624 prepend_path+0x1d7/0x1e0()
...
Root dentry has weird name <>
to appear in kernel logs.
So change d_obtain_alias() to use "/" rather than "" as the anonymous
name.

Mark as cancelled an operation that is in progress rather than pending at the
time it is cancelled, and call fscache_complete_op() to cancel an operation so
that blocked ops can be started.
Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
In fscache_write_op(), if the object is determined to have become inactive or
to have lost its cookie, we don't move the operation state from in-progress,
and so an assertion in fscache_put_operation() fails with an assertion (see
below).
Instrumenting fscache_op_work_func() indicates that it called
fscache_write_op() before calling fscache_put_operation() - where the assertion
failed. The assertion at line 433 indicates that the operation state is
IN_PROGRESS rather than being COMPLETE or CANCELLED.
Instrumenting fscache_write_op() showed that it was being called on an object
that had had its cookie removed and that this was due to relinquishment of the
cookie by the netfs. At this point fscache no longer has access to the pages
of netfs data that were requested to be written, and so simply cancelling the
operation is the thing to do.

Add a missing transition to the FS-Cache object state machine to handle an
invalidation event occuring between the back end completing the object lookup
by calling fscache_obtained_object() (which moves to state OBJECT_AVAILABLE)
and the backend returning to fscache_lookup_object() and thence to
fscache_object_state_machine() which then does a goto lookup_transit to handle
the transition - but lookup_transit doesn't handle EV_INVALIDATE.
Without this, the following BUG can be logged:
FS-Cache: Unsupported event 2 [5/f7] in state OBJECT_AVAILABLE
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at fs/fscache/object.c:357!
Where event 2 is EV_INVALIDATE.
