The per-metadata-type ocfs2_journal_access_*() functions hook up jbd2
commit triggers and allow us to compute metadata ecc right before the
buffers are written out. This commit provides ecc for inodes, extent
blocks, group descriptors, and quota blocks. It is not safe to use
extened attributes and metaecc at the same time yet.
The ocfs2_extent_tree and ocfs2_path abstractions in alloc.c both hide
the type of block at their root. Before, it didn't matter, but now the
root block must use the appropriate ocfs2_journal_access_*() function.
To keep this abstract, the structures now have a pointer to the matching
journal_access function and a wrapper call to call it.
A few places use naked ocfs2_write_block() calls instead of adding the
blocks to the journal. We make sure to calculate their checksum and ecc
before the write.
Since we pass around the journal_access functions. Let's typedef them
in ocfs2.h.

The ocfs2 code currently reads inodes off disk with a simple
ocfs2_read_block() call. Each place that does this has a different set
of sanity checks it performs. Some check only the signature. A couple
validate the block number (the block read vs di->i_blkno). A couple
others check for VALID_FL. Only one place validates i_fs_generation. A
couple check nothing. Even when an error is found, they don't all do
the same thing.
We wrap inode reading into ocfs2_read_inode_block(). This will validate
all the above fields, going readonly if they are invalid (they never
should be). ocfs2_read_inode_block_full() is provided for the places
that want to pass read_block flags. Every caller is passing a struct
inode with a valid ip_blkno, so we don't need a separate blkno argument
either.
We will remove the validation checks from the rest of the code in a
later commit, as they are no longer necessary.

ocfs2_read_blocks() currently requires the CACHED flag for cached I/O.
However, that's the common case. Let's flip it around and provide an
IGNORE_CACHE flag for the special users. This has the added benefit of
cleaning up the code some (ignore_cache takes on its special meaning
earlier in the loop).

More than 30 callers of ocfs2_read_block() pass exactly OCFS2_BH_CACHED.
Only six pass a different flag set. Rather than have every caller care,
let's make ocfs2_read_block() take no flags and always do a cached read.
The remaining six places can call ocfs2_read_blocks() directly.

ocfs2 inode numbers are block numbers. For any filesystem with less
than 2^32 blocks, this is not a problem. However, when ocfs2 starts
using JDB2, it will be able to support filesystems with more than 2^32
blocks. This would result in inode numbers higher than 2^32.
The problem is that stat(2) can't handle those numbers on 32bit
machines. The simple solution is to have ocfs2 allocate all inodes
below that boundary.
The suballoc code is changed to honor an optional block limit. Only the
inode suballocator sets that limit - all other allocations stay unlimited.
The biggest trick is to grow the inode suballocator beneath that limit.
There's no point in allocating block groups that are above the limit,
then rejecting their elements later on. We want to prevent the inode
allocator from ever having block groups above the limit. This involves
a little gyration with the local alloc code. If the local alloc window
is above the limit, it signals the caller to try the global bitmap but
does not disable the local alloc file (which can be used for other
allocations).

A per-mount debugfs file, "local_alloc" is created which when read will
expose live state of the nodes local alloc file. Performance impact is
minimal, only a bit of memory overhead per mount point. Still, the code is
hidden behind CONFIG_OCFS2_FS_STATS. This feature will help us debug
local alloc performance problems on a live system.

Ocfs2's local allocator disables itself for the duration of a mount point
when it has trouble allocating a large enough area from the primary bitmap.
That can cause performance problems, especially for disks which were only
temporarily full or fragmented. This patch allows for the allocator to
shrink it's window first, before being disabled. Later, it can also be
re-enabled so that any performance drop is minimized.
To do this, we allow the value of osb->local_alloc_bits to be shrunk when
needed. The default value is recorded in a mostly read-only variable so that
we can re-initialize when required.
Locking had to be updated so that we could protect changes to
local_alloc_bits. Mostly this involves protecting various local alloc values
with the osb spinlock. A new state is also added, OCFS2_LA_THROTTLED, which
is used when the local allocator is has shrunk, but is not disabled. If the
available space dips below 1 megabyte, the local alloc file is disabled. In
either case, local alloc is re-enabled 30 seconds after the event, or when
an appropriate amount of bits is seen in the primary bitmap.

Do this instead of tracking absolute local alloc size. This avoids
needless re-calculatiion of bits from bytes in localalloc.c. Additionally,
the value is now in a more natural unit for internal file system bitmap

Local alloc is a performance optimization in ocfs2 in which a node
takes a window of bits from the global bitmap and then uses that for
all small local allocations. This window size is fixed to 8MB currently.
This patch allows users to specify the window size in MB including
disabling it by passing in 0. If the number specified is too large,
the fs will use the default value of 8MB.

The ocfs2 write code loops through a page much like the block code, except
that ocfs2 allocation units can be any size, including larger than page
size. Typically it's equal to or larger than page size - most kernels run 4k
pages, the minimum ocfs2 allocation (cluster) size.
Some changes introduced during 2.6.23 changed the way writes to pages are
handled, and inadvertantly broke support for > 4k page size. Instead of just
writing one cluster at a time, we now handle the whole page in one pass.
This means that multiple (small) seperate allocations might happen in the
same pass. The allocation code howver typically optimizes by getting the
maximum which was reserved. This triggered a BUG_ON in the extend code where
it'd ask for a single bit (for one part of a > 4k page) and get back more
than it asked for.
Fix this by providing a variant of the high level allocation function which
allows the caller to specify a maximum. The traditional function remains and
just calls the new one with a maximum determined from the initial
reservation.
