Greetings, after Carsten pitched CMM2 on the kvm mini summit here is a repost of version 5 of the guest page hinting patches. The code is still the same but has been adapted to the latest git level. -- blue skies, Martin. "Reality continues to ruin my life." - Calvin.

After way to many months here is the fifth version of the guest page hinting patches. Compared to version four a few improvements have been added: - Avoid page_host_discards() calls outside of page-states.h - The discard list is now implemented via the page_free_discarded hook and architecture specific code. - PG_state_change page flag has been replaced with architecture specficic

A user has encountered a NULL pointer kernel oops in btrfs when encountering media errors. The problem has been identified as an unhandled NULL pointer returned from find_get_page(). This modification simply checks for a NULL page, and returns with an error if found (the extent_range_uptodate() function returns 1 on errors). After testing this patch, the user reported that the error with the

Apparently we don''t actually close the files until we return to userspace, so stop using vfs_read in send. This is actually better for us since we can avoid all the extra logic of holding the file we''re sending open and making sure to clean it up. This will fix people who have been hitting too many files open errors when trying to send. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik

The fault code has been calling file_update_time after ->page_mkwrite after it drops the page lock, but this is annoying because this calls mark_inode_dirty which can fail in Btrfs, so we want to be able to do these updates in ->page_mkwrite so we can get an error back to the user. So get rid of the file_update_time calls in the fault code and push it into everybody who has a

When buffered write fails to copy data into underlying page cache page, ocfs2_write_end_nolock() just zeroes out and dirties the page. This can leave dirty page beyond EOF and if page writeback tries to write this page before write succeeds and expands i_size, page gets into inconsistent state where page dirty bit is clear but buffer dirty bits stay set resulting in page data never getting written
