      Increase OSF partition limit from 8 to 18 · 34d211a2
      Linus Torvalds authored
      It turns out that while a maximum of 8 partitions may be what people
      "should" have had, you can actually fit up to 18 entries(*) in a sector.
      
      And some people clearly were taking advantage of that, like Michael
      Cree, who had ten partitions on one of his OSF disks.
      
      (*) The OSF partition data starts at byte offset 64 in the first sector,
          and the array of 16-byte partition entries start at offset 148 in
          the on-disk partition structure.

      prune back iprune_sem · bab1d944
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      iprune_sem is continously giving us lockdep warnings because we do take it in
      read mode in the reclaim path, but we're also doing non-NOFS allocations under
      it taken in write mode.
      
      Taking a bit deeper look at it I think it's fixable quite trivially:
      
       - for invalidate_inodes we do not need iprune_sem at all.  We have an active
         reference on the superblock, so the filesystem is not going away until it
         has finished.
       - for evict_inodes we do need it, to make sure prune_icache has done it's
         work before we tear down the superblock.  But there is no reason to
         hold it over the actual reclaim operation - it's enough to cycle through
         it after the actual reclaim to make sure we wait for any pending
         prune_icache to complete.  We just have to remove the WARN_ON for
         otherwise busy inodes as they can actually happen now.
