Commit eddb079deb created a regression in the writepages codepath.
Previously, whenever it needed to check the size of the file, it did so
by consulting the inode->i_size field directly. With that patch, the
i_size was fetched once on entry into the writepages code and that value
was used henceforth.
If the file is changing size though (for instance, if someone is writing
to it or has truncated it), then that value is likely to be wrong. This
can lead to data corruption. Pages past the EOF at the time that the
writepages call was issued may be silently dropped and ignored because
cifs_writepages wrongly assumes that the file must have been truncated
in the interim.
Fix cifs_writepages to properly fetch the size from the inode->i_size
field instead to properly account for this possibility.

Move actual pte filling for non-linear file mappings into the new special

Filesystems must implement this method to get non-linear mapping support,
if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used.
Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support.

Currently we cap the rsize at a value that fits in CIFSMaxBufSize. That's

CIFSMaxBufSize. Make sure they don't exceed that.
The patch also changes the rsize defaults. The default when unix

is a hard cap of ~16M.
When unix extensions are not enabled, the default is set to 60k. According
to MS-CIFS, Windows servers can only send a max of 60k at a time, so
this is more efficient than requesting a larger size. If the user wishes
however, the max can be extended up to 128k - the length of the READ_RSP
header.

Have cifs_writepages issue asynchronous writes instead of waiting on
each write call to complete before issuing another. This also allows us
to return more quickly from writepages. It can just send out all of the
I/Os and not wait around for the replies.
In the WB_SYNC_ALL case, if the write completes with a retryable error,
then the completion workqueue job will resend the write.
This also changes the page locking semantics a little bit. Instead of
holding the page lock until the response is received, release it after
doing the send. This will reduce contention for the page lock and should
prevent processes that have the file mmap'ed from being blocked
unnecessarily.

This is more or less the same patch as before, but with some merge
conflicts fixed up.
If a process has a dirty page mapped into its page tables, then it has
the ability to change it while the client is trying to write the data
out to the server. If that happens after the signature has been
calculated then that signature will then be wrong, and the server will
likely reset the TCP connection.
This patch adds a page_mkwrite handler for CIFS that simply takes the
page lock. Because the page lock is held over the life of writepage and
writepages, this prevents the page from becoming writeable until
the write call has completed.
With this, we can also remove the "sign_zero_copy" module option and
always inline the pages when writing.

This flag currently only affects whether we allow "zero-copy" writes
with signing enabled. Typically we map pages in the pagecache directly
into the write request. If signing is enabled however and the contents
of the page change after the signature is calculated but before the
write is sent then the signature will be wrong. Servers typically
respond to this by closing down the socket.
Still, this can provide a performance benefit so the "Experimental" flag
was overloaded to allow this. That's really not a good place for this
option however since it's not clear what that flag does.
Move that flag instead to a new module parameter that better describes
its purpose. That's also better since it can be set at module insertion
time by configuring modprobe.d.

cifs_close doesn't check that the filp->private_data is non-NULL before
trying to put it. That can cause an oops in certain error conditions
that can occur on open or lookup before the private_data is set.

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging,
and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that.
So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page().
