Clean up.
Change nlmsvc_lookup_host() to be purpose-built for server-side
nlm_host management. This replaces the generic nlm_lookup_host()
helper function, just like on the client side. The lookup logic is
specialized for server host lookups.
The server side cache also gets its own specialized equivalent of the
nlm_release_host() function.

NFS clients don't need the garbage collection processing that is
performed on nlm_host structures. The client picks up an nlm_host at
mount time and holds a reference to it until the file system is
unmounted.
Servers, on the other hand, don't have a precise way to tell when an
nlm_host is no longer being used, so zero refcount nlm_host entries
are left to expire in the cache after a time.
Basically there's nothing holding a reference to an nlm_host between
individual server-side NLM requests, but we can't afford the expense
of recreating them for every new NLM request from a client. The
nlm_host cache adds some lifetime hysteresis to entries in the cache
so the next time a particular nlm_host is needed, it's likely to be
discovered by a lookup rather than created from whole cloth.
With the new implementation, client nlm_host cache items are no longer
garbage collected, and are destroyed directly by a new release
function specialized for client entries, nlmclnt_release_host(). They
are cached in their own data structure, and have their own lookup
logic, simplified and specialized for client nlm_host entries.
However, the client nlm_host cache still shares reboot recovery logic
with the server nlm_host cache. The NSM "peer rebooted" downcall for
clients and servers still come through the same RPC call. This is a
legacy formal API that would be difficult to alter, and besides, the
user space NSM implementation can't tell the difference between peers
that are clients or servers.
For this reason, the client cache continues to share the
nlm_host_mutex (and reboot recovery logic) with the server cache.

Refactor nlm_host allocation and initialization into a separate
function. This will be the common piece of server and client nlm_host
lookup logic after the nlm_host cache is split.
Small change: use kmalloc() instead of kzalloc(), as we're overwriting
almost all fields in the new nlm_host struct with non-zero values
immediately after it is allocated. An added benefit is we now have an
explicit reference to each field name where it is initialized (for all

The pointer returned by ->decode_dirent() is no longer used as a
pointer. The only call site (xdr_decode() in fs/nfs/dir.c) simply
extracts the errno value encoded in the pointer. Replace the
returned pointer with a standard integer errno return value.
Also, pass the "server" argument as part of the nfs_entry instead of
as a separate parameter. It's faster to derive "server" in
nfs_readdir_xdr_to_array() since we already have the directory's inode
handy. "server" ought to be invariant for a set of entries in the
same directory, right?
The legacy versions of decode_dirent() don't use "server" anyway, so
it's wasted work for them to derive and pass "server" for each entry.

On 2.6.37-rc1, garbage collection ioctl of nilfs was broken due to the
commit 263d90cefc ("nilfs2: remove own inode hash used for GC"),
and leading to filesystem corruption.
The patch doesn't queue gc-inodes for log writer if they are reused
through the vfs inode cache. Here, gc-inode is the inode which
buffers blocks to be relocated on GC. That patch queues gc-inodes in
nilfs_init_gcinode() function, but this function is not called when
they don't have I_NEW flag. Thus, some of live blocks are wrongly
overrode without being moved to new logs.
This resolves the problem by moving the gc-inode queueing to an outer
function to ensure it's done right.

Jon Nelson has found a test case which causes postgresql to fail with
the error:
psql:t.sql:4: ERROR: invalid page header in block 38269 of relation base/16384/16581
Under memory pressure, it looks like part of a file can end up getting
replaced by zero's. Until we can figure out the cause, we'll roll
back the change and use block_write_full_page() instead of
ext4_bio_write_page(). The new, more efficient writing function can
be used via the mount option mblk_io_submit, so we can test and fix
the new page I/O code.
To reproduce the problem, install postgres 8.4 or 9.0, and pin enough
memory such that the system just at the end of triggering writeback
before running the following sql script:
begin;
create temporary table foo as select x as a, ARRAY[x] as b FROM
generate_series(1, 10000000 ) AS x;
create index foo_a_idx on foo (a);
create index foo_b_idx on foo USING GIN (b);
rollback;
If the temporary table is created on a hard drive partition which is
encrypted using dm_crypt, then under memory pressure, approximately
30-40% of the time, pgsql will issue the above failure.
This patch should fix this problem, and the problem will come back if
the file system is mounted with the mblk_io_submit mount option.

The extent allocator has code that allows us to fill
allocations from any available block group, even if it doesn't
match the raid level we've requested.
This was put in because adding a new drive to a filesystem
made with the default mkfs options actually upgrades the metadata from
single spindle dup to full RAID1.
But, the code also allows us to allocate from a raid0 chunk when we
really want a raid1 or raid10 chunk. This can cause big trouble because
mkfs creates a small (4MB) raid0 chunk for data and metadata which then
goes unused for raid1/raid10 installs.
The allocator will happily wander in and allocate from that chunk when
things get tight, which is not correct.
The fix here is to make sure that we provide duplication when the
caller has asked for it. It does all the dups to be any raid level,
which preserves the dup->raid1 upgrade abilities.
