fs: remove 8 bytes of padding from struct writeback_control on 64 bit builds

Reorder structure writeback_control to remove 8 bytes of padding on 64
bit builds, this shrinks its size from 48 to 40 bytes.

This structure is always on the stack and uses C99 named initialisation,
so should be safe and have a small impact on stack usage.

writeback: Move clearing of I_SYNC into inode_sync_complete()

Move clearing of I_SYNC into inode_sync_complete().  It is more logical to have
clearing of I_SYNC bit and waking of waiters in one place. Also later we will
have two places needing to clear I_SYNC and wake up waiters so this allows them
to use the common helper. Moving of I_SYNC clearing to a later stage of
writeback_single_inode() is safe since we hold i_lock all the time.

writeback: Move requeueing when I_SYNC set to writeback_sb_inodes()

When writeback_single_inode() is called on inode which has I_SYNC already
set while doing WB_SYNC_NONE, inode is moved to b_more_io list. However
this makes sense only if the caller is flusher thread. For other callers of
writeback_single_inode() it doesn't really make sense and may be even wrong
- flusher thread may be doing WB_SYNC_ALL writeback in parallel.

So we move requeueing from writeback_single_inode() to writeback_sb_inodes().

writeback: Move I_DIRTY_PAGES handling

Instead of clearing I_DIRTY_PAGES and resetting it when we didn't succeed in
writing them all, just clear the bit only when we succeeded writing all the
pages. We also move the clearing of the bit close to other i_state handling to
separate it from writeback list handling. This is desirable because list
handling will differ for flusher thread and other writeback_single_inode()
callers in future. No filesystem plays any tricks with I_DIRTY_PAGES (like
checking it in ->writepages or ->write_inode implementation) so this movement
is safe.

writeback: Remove wb->list_lock from writeback_single_inode()

writeback_single_inode() doesn't need wb->list_lock for anything on entry now.
So remove the requirement. This makes locking of writeback_single_inode()
temporarily awkward (entering with i_lock, returning with i_lock and
wb->list_lock) but it will be sanitized in the next patch.

Also inode_wait_for_writeback() doesn't need wb->list_lock for anything. It was
just taking it to make usage convenient for callers but with
writeback_single_inode() changing it's not very convenient anymore. So remove
the lock from that function.

writeback: Refactor writeback_single_inode()

The code in writeback_single_inode() is relatively complex. The list requeing
logic makes sense only for flusher thread but not really for sync_inode() or
write_inode_now() callers. Also when we want to get rid of inode references
held by flusher thread, we will need a special I_SYNC handling there.

So separate part of writeback_single_inode() which does the real writeback work
into __writeback_single_inode() and make writeback_single_inode() do only stuff
necessary for callers writing only one inode, moving the special list handling
into writeback_sb_inodes(). As a sideeffect this fixes a possible race where we
could skip some inode during sync(2) because other writer refiled it from b_io
to b_dirty list. Also I_SYNC handling is moved into the callers of
__writeback_single_inode() to make locking easier.

vfs: Move waiting for inode writeback from end_writeback() to evict_inode()

Currently, I_SYNC can never be set when evict_inode() (and thus
end_writeback()) is called because flusher thread holds inode reference while
inode is under writeback. As a result inode_sync_wait() in those places
currently does nothing. However that is going to change and unveils problems
with calling inode_sync_wait() from end_writeback(). Several filesystems call
end_writeback() after they have deleted the inode (btrfs, gfs2, ...) and other
filesystems (ext3, ext4, reiserfs, ...) can deadlock when waiting for I_SYNC
because they call end_writeback() from within a transaction.

To avoid these issues, we move inode_sync_wait() into evict_inode() before
calling ->evict_inode(). That way we preserve the current property that
->evict_inode() and writeback never run in parallel and all filesystems are
safe.

writeback: Avoid iput() from flusher thread

Doing iput() from flusher thread (writeback_sb_inodes()) can create problems
because iput() can do a lot of work - for example truncate the inode if it's
the last iput on unlinked file. Some filesystems depend on flusher thread
progressing (e.g. because they need to flush delay allocated blocks to reduce
allocation uncertainty) and so flusher thread doing truncate creates
interesting dependencies and possibilities for deadlocks.

We get rid of iput() in flusher thread by using the fact that I_SYNC inode
flag effectively pins the inode in memory. So if we take care to either hold
i_lock or have I_SYNC set, we can get away without taking inode reference
in writeback_sb_inodes().

As a side effect of these changes, we also fix possible use-after-free in
wb_writeback() because inode_wait_for_writeback() call could try to reacquire
i_lock on the inode that was already free.

mm: make is_vmalloc_addr lockless

is_vmalloc_addr currently takes the vmap_area_lock and walks
the list of vmalloc areas to determine if an address is actually
a vmalloc address. Unfortunately, the current locking structure
with vmap_area_lock does not disable irqs which means that it may
be possible to recusively take the vmap_area_lock if an irq occurs
while walking the tree list. Considering the list of possible
vmalloc vs. not vmalloc ranges is not going to change after bootup,
skip the tree walking and just keep a bitmap of which virtual
addresses are set aside for vmalloc and which are not.

mm, vmalloc: use well-defined find_last_bit() func

Our intention in here is to find last_bit within the region to flush.
There is well-defined function, find_last_bit() for this purpose and its
performance may be slightly better than current implementation.  So change
it.

CPU hotplug, debug: detect imbalance between get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus()

The synchronization between CPU hotplug readers and writers is achieved
by means of refcounting, safeguarded by the cpu_hotplug.lock.

get_online_cpus() increments the refcount, whereas put_online_cpus()
decrements it.  If we ever hit an imbalance between the two, we end up
compromising the guarantees of the hotplug synchronization i.e, for
example, an extra call to put_online_cpus() can end up allowing a
hotplug reader to execute concurrently with a hotplug writer.

So, add a WARN_ON() in put_online_cpus() to detect such cases where the
refcount can go negative, and also attempt to fix it up, so that we can
continue to run.
