Add rwpidforward mount option that switches on a mode when we forward
pid of a process who opened a file to any read and write operation.
This can prevent applications like WINE from failing on read or write
operation on a previously locked file region from the same netfd from
another process if we use mandatory brlock style.
It is actual for WINE because during a run of WINE program two processes
work on the same netfd - share the same file struct between several VFS
fds:
1) WINE-server does open and lock;
2) WINE-application does read and write.

Have cifs_writepages issue asynchronous writes instead of waiting on
each write call to complete before issuing another. This also allows us
to return more quickly from writepages. It can just send out all of the
I/Os and not wait around for the replies.
In the WB_SYNC_ALL case, if the write completes with a retryable error,
then the completion workqueue job will resend the write.
This also changes the page locking semantics a little bit. Instead of
holding the page lock until the response is received, release it after
doing the send. This will reduce contention for the page lock and should
prevent processes that have the file mmap'ed from being blocked
unnecessarily.

This is more or less the same patch as before, but with some merge
conflicts fixed up.
If a process has a dirty page mapped into its page tables, then it has
the ability to change it while the client is trying to write the data
out to the server. If that happens after the signature has been
calculated then that signature will then be wrong, and the server will
likely reset the TCP connection.
This patch adds a page_mkwrite handler for CIFS that simply takes the
page lock. Because the page lock is held over the life of writepage and
writepages, this prevents the page from becoming writeable until
the write call has completed.
With this, we can also remove the "sign_zero_copy" module option and
always inline the pages when writing.
Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>
Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
This flag currently only affects whether we allow "zero-copy" writes
with signing enabled. Typically we map pages in the pagecache directly
into the write request. If signing is enabled however and the contents
of the page change after the signature is calculated but before the
write is sent then the signature will be wrong. Servers typically
respond to this by closing down the socket.
Still, this can provide a performance benefit so the "Experimental" flag
was overloaded to allow this. That's really not a good place for this
option however since it's not clear what that flag does.
Move that flag instead to a new module parameter that better describes
its purpose. That's also better since it can be set at module insertion
time by configuring modprobe.d.

This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efe
(writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks). There are
no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the
ext4 tracing interface.
The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the
flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on
IO congestion. The latter will lead to more seeky IO.
The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's
redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check.
We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because
a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code
b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior:
that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which
is unfair in terms of LRU age.

Filesystems aren't really supposed to do anything with a vfsmount. It's
considered a layering violation since vfsmounts are entirely managed at
the VFS layer.
CIFS currently keeps an active reference to a vfsmount in order to
prevent the superblock vanishing before an oplock break has completed.
What we really want to do instead is to keep sb->s_active high until the
oplock break has completed. This patch borrows the scheme that NFS uses
for handling sillyrenames.
An atomic_t is added to the cifs_sb_info. When it transitions from 0 to
1, an extra reference to the superblock is taken (by bumping the
s_active value). When it transitions from 1 to 0, that reference is
dropped and a the superblock teardown may proceed if there are no more
references to it.
Also, the vfsmount pointer is removed from cifsFileInfo and from
cifs_new_fileinfo, and some bogus forward declarations are removed from

cifsFileInfo is a bit problematic. It contains a reference back to the
struct file itself. This makes it difficult for a cifsFileInfo to exist
without a corresponding struct file.
It would be better instead of the cifsFileInfo just held info pertaining
to the open file on the server instead without any back refrences to the
struct file. This would allow it to exist after the filp to which it was
originally attached was closed.
Much of the use of the file pointer in this struct is to get at the
dentry. Begin divorcing the cifsFileInfo from the struct file by
keeping a reference to the dentry. Since the dentry will have a
reference to the inode, we can eliminate the "pInode" field too and
convert the igrab/iput to dget/dput.
