It is racy, exit_notify() does __wake_up_parent() too. But in the
likely case it triggers the problem: de_thread() does release_task()
and the old leader goes away without the notification, the tracer
sleeps in do_wait() without children/tracees.
Change de_thread() to do __wake_up_parent(traced_leader->parent).
Since it is already EXIT_DEAD we can do this without ptrace_unlink(),
EXIT_DEAD threads do not exist from do_wait's pov.

It seems to hurt performance in real life. Yes, the inode will be used
later, but the conditional doesn't seem to predict all that well
(negative dentries are not uncommon) and it looks like the cost of
prefetching is simply higher than depending on the cache doing the right
thing.

The compiler, at least for ix86 and m68k, validly warns that the
comparison:
next <= (loff_t)-1
is always true (and it's always true also for x86-64 and probably all
other arches - as long as pgoff_t isn't wider than loff_t). The
intention appears to be to avoid wrapping of "next", so rather than
eliminating the pointless comparison, fix the loop to indeed get exited
when "next" would otherwise wrap.
On m68k the following warning is observed:

The list of active AIL cursors uses a roll-your-own linked list with
special casing for the AIL push cursor. Simplify this code by
replacing the list with standard struct list_head lists, and use a
separate list_head to track the active cursors. This allows us to
treat the AIL push cursor as a generic cursor rather than as a
special case, further simplifying the code.
Further, fix the duplicate push cursor initialisation that the
special case handling was hiding, and clean up all the comments
around the active cursor list handling.

Delayed logging can insert tens of thousands of log items into the
AIL at the same LSN. When the committing of log commit records
occur, we can get insertions occurring at an LSN that is not at the
end of the AIL. If there are thousands of items in the AIL on the
tail LSN, each insertion has to walk the AIL to find the correct
place to insert the new item into the AIL. This can consume large
amounts of CPU time and block other operations from occurring while
the traversals are in progress.
To avoid this repeated walk, use a AIL cursor to record
where we should be inserting the new items into the AIL without
having to repeat the walk. The cursor infrastructure already
provides this functionality for push walks, so is a simple extension
of existing code. While this will not avoid the initial walk, it
will avoid repeating it tens of thousands of times during a single
checkpoint commit.
This version includes logic improvements from Christoph Hellwig.

On xfs exports, nfsd is incorrectly returning ENOENT instead of
ESTALE on attempts to use a filehandle of a deleted file (spotted
with pynfs test PUTFH3). The ENOENT was coming from xfs_iget.
(It's tempting to wonder whether we should just map all xfs_iget
errors to ESTALE, but I don't believe so--xfs_iget can also return
ENOMEM at least, which we wouldn't want mapped to ESTALE.)
While we're at it, the other return of ENOENT in xfs_nfs_get_inode()

This patch adds a cache for the hash table to the directory code
in order to help simplify the way in which the hash table is
accessed. This is intended to be a first step towards introducing
some performance improvements in the directory code.
There are two follow ups that I'm hoping to see fairly shortly. One
is to simplify the hash table reading code now that we always read the
complete hash table, whether we want one entry or all of them. The
other is to introduce readahead on the heads of the hash chains
which are referred to from the table.
The hash table is a maximum of 128k in size, so it is not worth trying
to read it in small chunks.

GFS2: Resolve inode eviction and ail list interaction bug
GFS2: Fix race during filesystem mount
GFS2: force a log flush when invalidating the rindex glock
This patch contains a few misc fixes which resolve a recently
reported issue. This patch has been a real team effort and has
received a lot of testing.
The first issue is that the ail lock needs to be held over a few
more operations. The lock thats added into gfs2_releasepage() may
possibly be a candidate for replacing with RCU at some future
point, but at this stage we've gone for the obvious fix.
The second issue is that gfs2_write_inode() can end up calling
a glock recursively when called from gfs2_evict_inode() via the
syncing code, so it needs a guard added.
The third issue is that we either need to not truncate the metadata
pages of inodes which have zero link count, but which we cannot
deallocate due to them still being in use by other nodes, or we need
to ensure that those pages have all made it through the journal and
ail lists first. This patch takes the former approach, but the
latter has also been tested and there is nothing to choose between
them performance-wise. So again, we could revise that decision
in the future.
Also, the inode eviction process is now better documented.
