The inode table has been zeroed in setup_new_group_blocks().  Mark it as
such in ext4_group_add().  Since we are currently clearing inode table

Nick Piggin [Sun, 4 Jan 2009 20:00:53 +0000 (12:00 -0800)]
fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened.  They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim.  This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.

The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called.  It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock.  The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.

Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS.  Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function.  Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).

This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg.  ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

ia64: cpumask fix for is_affinity_mask_valid()

Impact: build fix on ia64

ia64's default_affinity_write() still had old cpumask_t usage:

 /home/mingo/tip/kernel/irq/proc.c: In function `default_affinity_write':
 /home/mingo/tip/kernel/irq/proc.c:114: error: incompatible type for argument 1 of `is_affinity_mask_valid'
 make[3]: *** [kernel/irq/proc.o] Error 1

update it to cpumask_var_t.
