This function is setting page->mapping = swapper_space, but isn't actually
adding the page to swapcache.  This triggers soon-to-be-added BUGs in the
radix tree code.

So temporarily add these pages to swapcache for real.

Also, make rw_swap_page_sync() go away if it has no callers.

This patch ensures that when the DIO code falls back to buffered i/o after
having submitted part of the i/o, then buffered i/o is issued only for the
remaining part of the request (i.e.  the part not already covered by DIO),
rather than redo the entire i/o.  Now, instead of returning written ==
-ENOTBLK, generic_file_direct_IO returns the number of bytes already handled
by DIO, so that the caller knows how much of the I/O is left to be handled
via fallback to buffered write.

We need to careful not to access dio fields if its possible that the dio
could already have been freed asynchronously during i/o completion.  A tricky
part of this involves plugging the window between the decrement of bio_count
and accessing dio->waiter during i/o completion where the dio could get freed
by the submission path.  This potential "bio_count race" was tackled (by
Daniel) by changing bio_list_lock into bio_lock and using that for all the
bio fields.  Now bio_count and bios_in_flight have been converted from
atomics into int and are both protected by the bio_lock.  The race in
finished_one_bio() could thus be fixed by leaving the bio_count at 1 until
after the dio_complete() and then doing the bio_count decrement and wakeup
holding the bio_lock.  It appears that shifting to the spin_lock instead of
atomic_inc/decs is ok performance wise as well.

Update:

An AIO O_DIRECT request was extending the file so it was done
synchronously.  However, the request got an EFAULT and direct_io_worker()
was calling aio_complete() on the iocb and returning the EFAULT.  When
io_submit_one() got the EFAULT return, it assume it had to call
aio_complete() since the i/o never got queued.

The fix is for direct_io_worker() to only call aio_complete() when the
upper layer is going to return -EIOCBQUEUED and not when getting errors
that are being return to the submit path.

From: Suparna Bhattacharya <suparna@in.ibm.com>

Fixes the following remaining issues with the DIO code:

1. During DIO file extends, intermediate writes could extend i_size
   exposing unwritten blocks to intermediate reads (Soln: Don't drop i_sem
   for file extends)

2. AIO-DIO file extends may update i_size before I/O completes,
   exposing unwritten blocks to intermediate reads.  (Soln: Force AIO-DIO
   file extends to be synchronous)

3. AIO-DIO writes to holes call aio_complete() before falling back to
   buffered I/O !  (Soln: Avoid calling aio_complete() if -ENOTBLK)

4. AIO-DIO writes to an allocated region followed by a hole, falls back
   to buffered i/o without waiting for already submitted i/o to complete;
   might return to user-space, which could overwrite the buffer contents
   while they are still being written out by the kernel (Soln: Always wait
   for submitted i/o to complete before falling back to buffered i/o)

From: Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com>

1) blkdev_direct_IO() calls blockdev_direct_IO() instead of
   blockdev_direct_IO_no_locking().

2) writev entry point is generic_file_writev() which grabs i_sem.  It
   should use generic_file_write_nolock() instead.

Fix a race which was identified by Daniel McNeil <daniel@osdl.org>

If a buffer_head is under I/O due to JBD's ordered data writeout (which uses
ll_rw_block()) then either filemap_fdatawrite() or filemap_fdatawait() need
to wait on the buffer's existing I/O.

Presently neither will do so, because __block_write_full_page() will not
actually submit any I/O and will hence not mark the page as being under
writeback.

The best-performing fix would be to somehow mark the page as being under
writeback and defer waiting for the ll_rw_block-initiated I/O until
filemap_fdatawait()-time.  But this is hard, because in
__block_write_full_page() we do not have control of the buffer_head's end_io
handler.  Possibly we could make JBD call into end_buffer_async_write(), but
that gets nasty.

This patch makes __block_write_full_page() wait for any buffer_head I/O to
complete before inspecting the buffer_head state.  It only does this in the
case where __block_write_full_page() was called for a "data-integrity" write:
(wbc->sync_mode != WB_SYNC_NONE).

Probably it doesn't matter, because kjournald is currently submitting (or has
already submitted) all dirty buffers anyway.

From: Badari Pulavarty, Suparna Bhattacharya, Andrew Morton

Forward port of Stephen Tweedie's DIO fixes from 2.4, to fix various DIO vs
buffered IO exposures involving races causing:

(a) stale data from uninstantiated blocks to be read, e.g.

    - O_DIRECT reads against buffered writes to a sparse region

    - O_DIRECT writes to a sparse region against buffered reads

(b) potential data corruption with

    - O_DIRECT IOs against truncate

    due to writes to truncated blocks (which may have been reallocated to
    another file).

Summary of fixes:

1) All the changes affect only regular files.  RAW/O_DIRECT on block are
   unaffected. 

2) The DIO code will not fill in sparse regions on a write.  Instead
   -ENOTBLK is returned and the generic file write code would fallthrough to
   buffered IO in this case followed by writing through the pages to disk
   using filemap_fdatawrite/wait.

3) i_sem is held during both DIO reads and writes.  For reads, and writes
   to already allocated blocks, it is released right after IO is issued,
   while for writes to newly allocated blocks (e.g file extending writes and
   hole overwrites) it is held all the way through until IO completes (and
   data is committed to disk).

4) filemap_fdatawrite/wait are called under i_sem to synchronize buffered
   pages to disk blocks before issuing DIO.

5) A new rwsem (i_alloc_sem) is held in shared mode all the while a DIO
   (read or write) is in progress, and in exclusive mode by truncate to guard
   against deallocation of data blocks during DIO. 

6) All this new locking has been pushed down into blockdev_direct_IO to
   avoid interfering with NFS direct IO.  The locks are taken in the order
   i_sem followed by i_alloc_sem.  While i_sem may be released after IO
   submission in some cases, i_alloc_sem is held through until dio_complete
   (in the case of AIO-DIO this happens through the IO completion callback).

7) i_sem and i_alloc_sem are not held for the _nolock versions of write
   routines, as used by blockdev and XFS.  Filesystems can specify the
   needs_special_locking parameter to __blockdev_direct_IO from their direct
   IO address space op accordingly.

Note from Badari:
Here is the locking (when needs_special_locking is true):

(1) generic_file_*_write() holds i_sem (as before) and calls
    ->direct_IO().  blockdev_direct_IO gets i_alloc_sem and call
    direct_io_worker().

(2) generic_file_*_read() does not hold any locks.  blockdev_direct_IO()
    gets i_sem and then i_alloc_sem and calls direct_io_worker() to do the
    work

(3) direct_io_worker() does the work and drops i_sem after submitting IOs
    if appropriate and drops i_alloc_sem after completing IOs.

Adds MSI support for ia64.

- Modified existing code in drivers/pci/msi.c and drivers/pci/msi.h to
  include MSI support on IA64 platform.

- Based on the comments received from Zwane Mwaikambo and David Mosberger,
  this patch consolidates the vector allocators as
  assign_irq_vector(AUTO_ASSIGN) has the same semantics as
  ia64_alloc_vector() by converting the existing uses of ia64_alloc_vector()
  to assign_irq_vector(AUTO_ASSIGN).

- Based on the comments received from Zwane Mwaikambo, this patch
  consolidates the semantics of vector allocator assign_irq_vector() in
  drivers/pci/msi.c into the relevant architecture's vector allocator
  assign_irq_vector() in arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c.

- Regarding vector allocation, this patch modifies the existing function
  assign_irq_vector() to maximize the number of allocated vectors to 188
  before going -ENOSPC.

- Based on your comments, this patch creates <asm-i386/msi.h>,
  <asm-ia64/msi.h> and <asm-x86_64/msi.h>, includes <asm/msi.h> from within
  drivers/pci/msi.h and then places all the code which is currently under
  ifdef in msi.h into the relevant architecture's <asm/msi.h> file.

- Based on your comments, this patch places pci_vector_resources() in
  existing drivers/pci/msi.c in the relevant architecture implementations
  such as into arch/.../pci/irq.c.

Kevin P.  Fleming pointed out that the 2.6 tmpfs does not allow writing huge
sparse files.  This is an unintended side-effect of the strict memory commit
changes: which should make no difference.

The solution is to treat the tmpfs files (of variable size) and the shmem
objects (of fixed size) differently: sounds nasty but works out well.  The
shmem objects follow the VM preallocation convention as before, but the tmpfs
files revert to allocation on demand as a filesystem would.  If there's not
enough memory to write to a tmpfs hole, it is reported as -ENOSPC rather than
-ENOMEM, so the mmap writer gets SIGBUS rather than everyone else getting
OOM-killed.

Chang bitmap_shift_left()/bitmap_shift_right() to have O(1) stackspace
requirements.

Given zeroed tail preconditions these implementations satisfy zeroed tail
postconditions, which makes them compatible with whatever changes from Paul
Jackson one may want to merge in the future.  No particular effort was
required to ensure this.

A small (but hopefully forgiveable) cleanup is a spelling correction:
s/bitmap_shift_write/bitmap_shift_right/ in one of the kerneldoc comments.

The primary effect of the patch is to remove the MAX_BITMAP_BITS
limitation, so restoring the NR_CPUS to be limited only by stackspace and
slab allocator maximums.  They also look vaguely more efficient than the
current code, though as this was not done for performance reasons, no
performance testing was done.

Brian Gerst's patch which moved __this_module out from module.h into the
module post-processing had a side effect.  genksyms didn't see the
undefined symbols for modules without a module_init (or module_exit), and
hence didn't generate a version for them, causing the kernel to be tainted.

The simple solution is to always include the versions for these functions. 
Also includes two cleanups:

1) alloc_symbol is easier to use if it populates ->next for us.

2) add_exported_symbol should set owner to module, not head of module
   list (we don't use this field in entries in that list, fortunately).

Somebody recently pointed out a performance-anomaly to me where an unusual
amount of time was being spent reading from /dev/urandom.  The problem
isn't really surprising as it happened only on >= 4-way machines and the
random driver isn't terribly scalable the way it is written today.  If
scalability _really_ mattered, I suppose per-CPU data structures would be
the way to go.  However, I found that at least for 4-way machines,
performance can be improved considerably with the attached patch.  In
particular, I saw the following performance on a 4-way ia64 machine:

The cpu_2_node[] array for i386 is initialized to all 0's, meaning that
until modified at CPU bring-up, all CPUs are mapped to node 0.

When CPUs are brought online, they are mapped to the appropriate node by
various mechanisms, depending on the underlying hardware.

When we unmap CPUs (hotplug time), we should return the mapping for the CPU
that is going away to its original state, ie: 0.

When this code was initially submitted, the misguided poster (me) made the
mistake of putting a -1 in the cpu_2_node[] array for the CPU going away.

This patch fixes this mistake, and allows code to get a valid node number
for all valid CPU numbers.  This is important, because most (if not all)
callers do not error check the value returned by the cpu_to_node() macro,
and they should not have to.  The API specifies that a valid node number be
returned for any valid CPU number.
