Josef Bacik 02c24a8218 fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers
Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers.  Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.
Thanks,

Christoph Hellwig aa38572954 fs: pass exact type of data dirties to ->dirty_inode
Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or
anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it
needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not.

This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet.  I plan
to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting
this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid
tree interdependencies.

Also remove incorrect comments that ->dirty_inode can't block.  That
has been changed a long time ago, and many implementations rely on it.

Ryusuke Konishi aa405b1f42 nilfs2: always set back pointer to host inode in mapping->host
In the current nilfs, page cache for btree nodes and meta data files
do not set a valid back pointer to the host inode in mapping->host.

This will change it so that every address space in nilfs uses

Ryusuke Konishi e3154e9748 nilfs2: get rid of nilfs_sb_info structure
This directly uses sb->s_fs_info to keep a nilfs filesystem object and
fully removes the intermediate nilfs_sb_info structure.  With this
change, the hierarchy of on-memory structures of nilfs will be
simplified as follows:

Before:
  super_block
       -> nilfs_sb_info
             -> the_nilfs
                   -> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system)
                               +-> nilfs_root (snapshot A)
                               +-> nilfs_root (snapshot B)
                               :
             -> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure)
After:
  super_block
       -> the_nilfs
             -> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system)
                         +-> nilfs_root (snapshot A)
                         +-> nilfs_root (snapshot B)
                         :
             -> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure)

The reason why we didn't design so from the beginning is because the
initial shape also differed from the above.  The early hierachy was
composed of "per-mount-point" super_block -> nilfs_sb_info pairs and a
shared nilfs object.  On the kernel 2.6.37, it was changed to the
current shape in order to unify super block instances into one per
device, and this cleanup became applicable as the result.

Ryusuke Konishi b253a3e4f2 nilfs2: tighten restrictions on inode flags
Nilfs has few rectrictions on which flags may be set on which inodes
like ext2/3/4 filesystems used to be.  Specifically DIRSYNC may only
be set on directories and IMMUTABLE and APPEND may not be set on
links.  Tighten that to disallow TOPDIR being set on non-directories
and only NODUMP and NOATIME to be set on non-regular file,
non-directories.

This introduces a flags masking function like those of extN and uses
it during inode creation.

This adds fiemap to nilfs.  Two new functions, nilfs_fiemap and
nilfs_find_uncommitted_extent are added.

nilfs_fiemap() implements the fiemap inode operation, and
nilfs_find_uncommitted_extent() helps to get a range of data blocks
whose physical location has not been determined.

nilfs_fiemap() collects extent information by looping through
nilfs_bmap_lookup_contig and nilfs_find_uncommitted_extent routines.

Ryusuke Konishi dc3d3b810a nilfs2: deny write access to inodes in snapshots
Snapshots of nilfs are read-only.

After super block instances (sb) will be unified, nilfs will need to
check write access by a way other than implicit test with
IS_RDONLY(inode).  This is because IS_RDONLY() refers to MS_RDONLY bit
of inode->i_sb->s_flags and it will become inaccurate after the
unification of sb.

To prepare for the issue, this uses i_op->permission to deny write
access to inodes in snapshots.

Jiro SEKIBA b2ac86e1a8 nilfs2: sync super blocks in turns
This will sync super blocks in turns instead of syncing duplicate
super blocks at the time.  This will help searching valid super root
when super block is written into disk before log is written, which is
happen when barrier-less block devices are unmounted uncleanly.  In
the situation, old super block likely points to valid log.

This patch introduces ns_sbwcount member to the nilfs object and adds
nilfs_sb_will_flip() function; ns_sbwcount counts how many times super
blocks write back to the disk.  And, nilfs_sb_will_flip() decides
whether flipping required or not based on the count of ns_sbwcount to
sync super blocks asymmetrically.

The following functions are also changed:

 - nilfs_prepare_super(): flips super blocks according to the
   argument.  The argument is calculated by nilfs_sb_will_flip()
   function.

 - nilfs_cleanup_super(): sets "clean" flag to both super blocks if
   they point to the same checkpoint.

To update both of super block information, caller of
nilfs_commit_super must set the information on both super blocks.

And, page fault path may hold:

  page fault -> mm->mmap_sem
         --> nilfs_page_mkwrite() -> nilfs->ns_segctor_sem

Even though nilfs_clean_segments() does not perform write access on
given user pages, it may cause deadlock because nilfs->ns_segctor_sem
is shared per device and mm->mmap_sem can be shared with other tasks.

To avoid this problem, this patch moves all calls of copy_from_user()
outside the nilfs->ns_segctor_sem lock in the ioctl.

that the tar program sometimes failed to expand symbolic links on nilfs,
and it turned out to be the cause.

Instead of applying the above displacement, I've decided to support
nanosecond timestamps on this occation.  Fortunetaly, a needless 64-bit
field was in the nilfs_inode struct, and I found it's available for this
purpose without impact for the users.

So, this will do the enhancement and resolve the tar problem.

Ryusuke Konishi e339ad31f5 nilfs2: introduce secondary super block
The former versions didn't have extra super blocks.  This improves the
weak point by introducing another super block at unused region in tail of
the partition.

This doesn't break disk format compatibility; older versions just ingore
the secondary super block, and new versions just recover it if it doesn't
exist.  The partition created by an old mkfs may not have unused region,
but in that case, the secondary super block will not be added.

This doesn't make more redundant copies of the super block; it is a future
work.

Ryusuke Konishi 1f5abe7e7d nilfs2: replace BUG_ON and BUG calls triggerable from ioctl
Pekka Enberg advised me:
> It would be nice if BUG(), BUG_ON(), and panic() calls would be
> converted to proper error handling using WARN_ON() calls. The BUG()
> call in nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints(), for example, looks to be
> triggerable from user-space via the ioctl() system call.

This will follow the comment and keep them to a minimum.

Ryusuke Konishi 7a9461939a nilfs2: use unlocked_ioctl
Pekka Enberg suggested converting ->ioctl operations to use
->unlocked_ioctl to avoid BKL.

The conversion was verified to be safe, so I will take it on this
occasion.

Ryusuke Konishi 8082d36aed nilfs2: remove compat ioctl code
This removes compat code from the nilfs ioctls and applies the same
function for both .ioctl and .compat_ioctl file operations.

Ryusuke Konishi 47420c7998 nilfs2: avoid double error caused by nilfs_transaction_end
Pekka Enberg pointed out that double error handlings found after
nilfs_transaction_end() can be avoided by separating abort operation:

 OK, I don't understand this. The only way nilfs_transaction_end() can
 fail is if we have NILFS_TI_SYNC set and we fail to construct the
 segment. But why do we want to construct a segment if we don't commit?

 I guess what I'm asking is why don't we have a separate
 nilfs_transaction_abort() function that can't fail for the erroneous
 case to avoid this double error value tracking thing?

This does the separation and renames nilfs_transaction_end() to
nilfs_transaction_commit() for clarification.

Since, some calls of these functions were used just for exclusion control
against the segment constructor, they are replaced with semaphore
operations.

Ryusuke Konishi 65b4643d3b nilfs2: add inode and other major structures
This adds the following common structures of the NILFS2 file system.

* nilfs_inode_info structure:
  gives on-memory inode.

* nilfs_sb_info structure:
  keeps per-mount state and a special inode for the ifile.
  This structure is attached to the super_block structure.

* the_nilfs structure:
  keeps shared state and locks among a read/write mount and snapshot
  mounts.  This keeps special inodes for the sufile, cpfile, dat, and
  another dat inode used during GC (gcdat).  This also has a hash table
  of dummy inodes to cache disk blocks during GC (gcinodes).

* nilfs_transaction_info structure:
  keeps per task state while nilfs is writing logs or doing indivisible
  inode or namespace operations.  This structure is used to identify
  context during log making and store nest level of the lock which
  ensures atomicity of file system operations.
