      xfs: fix sub-page blocksize data integrity writes · 480d7467
      Dave Chinner authored
      FSX on 512 byte block size filesystems has been failing for some
      time with corrupted data. The fault dates back to the change in
      the writeback data integrity algorithm that uses a mark-and-sweep
      approach to avoid data writeback livelocks.
      
      Unfortunately, a side effect of this mark-and-sweep approach is that
      each page will only be written once for a data integrity sync, and
      there is a condition in writeback in XFS where a page may require
      two writeback attempts to be fully written. As a result of the high
      level change, we now only get a partial page writeback during the
      integrity sync because the first pass through writeback clears the
      mark left on the page index to tell writeback that the page needs
      writeback....
      
      The cause is writing a partial page in the clustering code. This can
      happen when a mapping boundary falls in the middle of a page - we
      end up writing back the first part of the page that the mapping
      covers, but then never revisit the page to have the remainder mapped
      and written.
      
      The fix is simple - if the mapping boundary falls inside a page,
      then simple abort clustering without touching the page. This means
      that the next ->writepage entry that write_cache_pages() will make
      is the page we aborted on, and xfs_vm_writepage() will map all
      sections of the page correctly. This behaviour is also optimal for
      non-data integrity writes, as it results in contiguous sequential
      writeback of the file rather than missing small holes and having to
      write them a "random" writes in a future pass.
      
      With this fix, all the fsx tests in xfstests now pass on a 512 byte
      block size filesystem on a 4k page machine.

      Pull tracing/kprobes update from Steven Rostedt:
       "The majority of these changes are from Masami Hiramatsu bringing
        kprobes up to par with the latest changes to ftrace (multi buffering
        and the new function probes).
      
        He also discovered and fixed some bugs in doing so.  When pulling in
        his patches, I also found a few minor bugs as well and fixed them.
      
        This also includes a compile fix for some archs that select the ring
        buffer but not tracing.
      
        I based this off of the last patch you took from me that fixed the
        merge conflict error, as that was the commit that had all the changes
        I needed for this set of changes."
