H A Dshmem.cdiff 54af60421822bb9cb664dd5cd7aac46c01ccfcf8 Wed Aug 03 18:21:24 CDT 2011 Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> tmpfs: convert shmem_getpage_gfp to radix-swap

Convert shmem_getpage_gfp(), the engine-room of shmem, to expect page or
swap entry returned from radix tree by find_lock_page().

Whereas the repetitive old method proceeded mainly under info->lock,
dropping and repeating whenever one of the conditions needed was not
met, now we can proceed without it, leaving shmem_add_to_page_cache() to
check for a race.

This way there is no need to preallocate a page, no need for an early
radix_tree_preload(), no need for mem_cgroup_shmem_charge_fallback().

Move the error unwinding down to the bottom instead of repeating it
throughout. ENOSPC handling is a little different from before: there is
no longer any race between find_lock_page() and finding swap, but we can
arrive at ENOSPC before calling shmem_recalc_inode(), which might
occasionally discover freed space.

Be stricter to check i_size before returning. info->lock is used for
little but alloced, swapped, i_blocks updates. Move i_blocks updates
out from under the max_blocks check, so even an unlimited size=0 mount
can show accurate du.
