Recently aio_p{read,write} changed to perform retries internally rather
than returning -EIOCBRETRY. This inadvertantly resulted in always calling
aio_{read,write} with ki_left at 0 which would in turn immediately return
0. Harmless, but we can avoid this call by checking in the caller.

Only one of the run or kick path is supposed to put an iocb on the run
list. If both of them do it than one of them can end up referencing a
freed iocb. The kick path could delete the task_list item from the wait
queue before getting the ctx_lock and putting the iocb on the run list.
The run path was testing the task_list item outside the lock so that it
could catch ki_retry methods that return -EIOCBRETRY *without* putting the
iocb on a wait queue and promising to call kick_iocb. This unlocked check
could then race with the kick path to cause both to try and put the iocb on
the run list.
The patch stops the run path from testing task_list by requring that any
ki_retry that returns -EIOCBRETRY *must* guarantee that kick_iocb() will be
called in the future. aio_p{read,write}, the only in-tree -EIOCBRETRY
users, are updated.

Only one of the run or kick path is supposed to put an iocb on the run
list. If both of them do it than one of them can end up referencing a
freed iocb. The kick patch could set the Kicked bit before acquiring the
ctx_lock and putting the iocb on the run list. The run path, while holding
the ctx_lock, could see this partial kick and mistake it for a kick that
was deferred while it was doing work with the run_list NULLed out. It
would then race with the kick thread to add the iocb to the run list.
This patch moves the kick setting under the ctx_lock so that only one of
the kick or run path queues the iocb on the run list, as intended.

Add smp_mb__after_clear_bit() to unlock_kiocb()
AIO's use of wait_on_bit_lock()/wake_up_bit() forgot to add a barrier
between clearing its lock bit and calling wake_up_bit() so wake_up_bit()'s
unlocked waitqueue_active() can race. This puts AIO's use in line with the
others and the comment above wake_up_bit().

Patch to eliminate struct files_struct.file_lock spinlock on the reader side
and use rcu refcounting rcuref_xxx api for the f_count refcounter. The
updates to the fdtable are done by allocating a new fdtable structure and
setting files->fdt to point to the new structure. The fdtable structure is
protected by RCU thereby allowing lock-free lookup. For fd arrays/sets that
are vmalloced, we use keventd to free them since RCU callbacks can't sleep. A
global list of fdtable to be freed is not scalable, so we use a per-cpu list.
If keventd is already handling the current cpu's work, we use a timer to defer
queueing of that work.
Since the last publication, this patch has been re-written to avoid using
explicit memory barriers and use rcu_assign_pointer(), rcu_dereference()
premitives instead. This required that the fd information is kept in a
separate structure (fdtable) and updated atomically.

Implement a per-kiocb lock to serialise retry operations and cancel. This
is done using wait_on_bit_lock() on the KIF_LOCKED bit of kiocb->ki_flags.
Also, make the cancellation path lock the kiocb and subsequently release
all references to it if the cancel was successful. This version includes a
fix for the deadlock with __aio_run_iocbs.

Note that other than few exceptions, most of the current filesystem and/or
drivers do not have aio cancel specifically defined (kiob->ki_cancel field
is mostly NULL). However, sys_io_cancel system call universally sets
return code to -EAGAIN. This gives applications a wrong impression that
this call is implemented but just never works. We have customer inquires
about this issue.
Changed by Benjamin LaHaise to EINVAL instead of ENOSYS

Normally, activate_mm() is called from exec(), and thus it used to be a
no-op because we use a completely new "MM context" on the host (for
instance, a new process), and so we didn't need to flush any "TLB entries"
(which for us are the set of memory mappings for the host process from the
virtual "RAM" file).
Kernel threads, instead, are usually handled in a different way. So, when
for AIO we call use_mm(), things used to break and so Benjamin implemented
activate_mm(). However, that is only needed for AIO, and could slow down
exec() inside UML, so be smart: detect being called for AIO (via
PF_BORROWED_MM) and do the full flush only in that situation.
Comment also the caller so that people won't go breaking UML without
noticing. I also rely on the caller's locks for testing current->flags.

In the case of buffered AIO, in the aio retry path (aio_run_iocb), when the
retry method returns EIOCBRETRY the kicked iocb is added to the context run
list but is never queued onto the work queue. The request therefore is
never completed.
This patch fixes that by adding the appropriate call to aio_queue_work in
aio_run_aiocb so that subsequent retries will be handled by the aio worker
thread.

This patch optimizes io_submit_one to call aio_run_iocb() directly if
ctx->run_list is empty. When the list is empty, the operation of adding to
the list, then call to __aio_run_iocbs() is unnecessary because these
operations are done in one atomic step. ctx->run_list always has only one
element in this case. This optimization speeds up industry standard db
transaction processing benchmark by 0.2%.

Clean up code that was previously used for debug purpose. Remove aio_run,
aio_wakeups, iocb->ki_queued and iocb->ki_kicked. Also clean up unused
variable count in __aio_run_iocbs() and debug code in read_events().

Since the tail pointer in aio_ring structure never wrap ring size more than
once, so a simple compare is sufficient to wrap the index around. This avoid
a more expensive mod operation.

This patch removes superfluous kiocb member initialization in the AIO
allocation and deallocation path. For example, in really_put_req(),
right before kiocb is returned to slab, 5 variables are reset to NULL.
The same variables will be initialized at the kiocb allocation time,
so why bother reset them knowing that they will be set to valid data
at alloc time? Another example: ki_retry is initialized in __aio_get_req,
but is initialized again in io_submit_one.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
