[GIT PULL -mm] 0/9 Unionfs updates/cleanups/fixes

[Erez Zadok]

The following is a series of patches related to Unionfs.  The main change
here is that unionfs now has its own ->writepages method.

These patches were tested (where appropriate) on Linus's 2.6.24 latest code
(as of v2.6.23-6623-g55b70a0), as well as the backports to
2.6.{23,22,21,20,19,18,9} on ext2/3/4, xfs, reiserfs, nfs2/3/4, jffs2,
ramfs, tmpfs, cramfs, and squashfs (where available).  See
http://unionfs.filesystems.org/ to download backported unionfs code.

Please pull from the 'master' branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ezk/unionfs.git

to receive the following:

Andrew Morton (2):
      Unionfs: security convert lsm into a static interface fix
      Unionfs: slab api remove useless ctor parameter and reorder parameters

Erez Zadok (6):
      Unionfs: support lower filesystems without writeback capability
      Unionfs: don't printk trivial message upon normal rename-copyup
      Unionfs: don't bother validating dentry if it has no lower branches
      Unionfs: convert a printk to pr_debug in release
      Unionfs: remove for_writepages nfs workaround
      Unionfs: remove obsolete #define and comment

[PATCH 1/9] Unionfs: flush and release updates

[Erez Zadok]

Remove the totalopens counter which was intended to reduce unnecessary
processing of d_deleted dentries.  Move that processing from file_release to
flush.

[PATCH 3/9] Unionfs: update cache-coherency detection heuristics

[Erez Zadok]

Use a small delay to reduce the number of times unionfs has to detect
changed mtime's/ctime's, and also reduce the potential for false positives.
See Documentation/filesystems/unionfs/concepts.txt for a detailed
discussion.

 ->file_revalidate (similarly to dentry->d_revalidate) that will be called
 before each VFS op that has a "struct file" in it.
 
+Certain file systems have micro-second granularity (or better) for inode
+times, and asynchronous actions could cause those times to change with some
+small delay.  In such cases, Unionfs may see a changed inode time that only
+differs by a tiny fraction of a second: such a change may be a false
+positive indication that the lower object has changed, whereas if unionfs
+waits a little longer, that false indication will not be seen.  (These false
+positives are harmless, because they would at most cause unionfs to
+re-validate an object that may need no revalidation, and print a debugging
+message that clutters the console/logs.)  Therefore, to minimize the chances
+of these situations, we delay the detection of changed times by a small
+factor of a few seconds, called UNIONFS_MIN_CC_TIME (which defaults to 3
+seconds, as does NFS).  This means that we will detect the change, only a
+couple of seconds later, if indeed the time change persists in the lower
+file object.  This delayed detection has an added performance benefit: we
+reduce the number of times that unionfs has to revalidate objects, in case
+there's a lot of concurrent activity on both the upper and lower objects,
+for the same file(s).  Lastly, this delayed time attribute detection is
+similar to how NFS clients operate (e.g., acregmin).

[PATCH 4/9] Unionfs: writepage updates

Don't set/reset the PageUptodate flag on our page.  Call flush_dcache_page
on the lower page after copy_highpage, and set it uptodate.  Call
set_page_dirty right before clear_page_dirty_for_io.
