Pull the big VFS changes from Al Viro:
"This one is *big* and changes quite a few things around VFS. What's in there:
- the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open
intents.
The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with
Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in
fs/namei.c, we finally have it. Unlike his variant, this one
doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is
->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing
everything via its fields.
Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E... on error, 0
on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g. symlink
found on server, etc.).
See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open(). That made a lot of
goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile:
->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct
nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup
flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag.
With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid
of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still
visible in namei.h, but not for long. Come the next cycle,
declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c
itself. [me, miklos, hch]
- The second major change: behaviour of final fput(). Now we have
__fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep
in call stack.
That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there.
Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which
has immediately simplified life for aio.c). We also don't need
anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore.
There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially
asynchronous. For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed
that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to
userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace.
For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via
schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure
it's finished; so far only one such place had been found, but there
might be more.
There's flush_delayed_fput() (do all pending __fput()) and there's
__fput_sync() (fput() analog doing __fput() immediately). I hope
we won't need them often; see warnings in fs/file_table.c for
details. [me, based on task_work series from Oleg merged last
cycle]
- sync series from Jan
- large part of "death to sync_supers()" work from Artem; the only
bits missing here are exofs and ext4 ones. As far as I understand,
those are going via the exofs and ext4 trees resp.; once they are
in, we can put ->write_super() to the rest, along with the thread
calling it.
- preparatory bits from unionmount series (from dhowells).
- assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place, as usual.
This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's
ESTALE work and fsfreeze series (the latter - in dire need of fixes,
so I'm not sure it'll make the cut this cycle). I'll probably throw
symlink/hardlink restrictions stuff from Kees into the next pile, too.
Plus there's a lot of misc patches I hadn't thrown into that one -
it's large enough as it is..."

The block device driver puts a limit on maximum number of pages that

BIO_MAX_PAGES number of pages in bio. Specifically the virtio-blk
diriver limits it to 126. When the LogFS file system was excersized in
KVM, the following bug from do_virtblk_request() was observed
static void do_virtblk_request(struct request_queue *q)

while ((req = blk_peek_request(q)) != NULL) {
BUG_ON(req->nr_phys_segments + 2 > vblk->sg_elems);

LogFS does not use a specialized area to maintain the inodes. The
inodes information is kept in a specialized file called inode file.
Similarly, the segment information is kept in a segment file. Since
the segment file also has an inode which is kept in the inode file,
the inode for segment file must be evicted before the inode for inode
file. The change fixes the following BUG during unmount

The function ext4_calc_metadata_amount() has side effects, although
it's not obvious from its function name. So if we fail to claim
space, regardless of whether we retry to claim the space again, or
return an error, we need to undo these side effects.
Otherwise we can end up incorrectly calculating the number of metadata
blocks needed for the operation, which was responsible for an xfstests
failure for test #271 when using an ext2 file system with delalloc
enabled.

If we hit a condition where we have allocated metadata blocks that
were not appropriately reserved, we risk underflow of
ei->i_reserved_meta_blocks. In turn, this can throw
sbi->s_dirtyclusters_counter significantly out of whack and undermine
the nondelalloc fallback logic in ext4_nonda_switch(). Warn if this
occurs and set i_allocated_meta_blocks to avoid this problem.
This condition is reproduced by xfstests 270 against ext2 with
delalloc enabled:

270 ultimately fails with an inconsistent filesystem and requires an
fsck to repair. The cause of the error is an underflow in
ext4_da_update_reserve_space() due to an unreserved meta block
allocation.

Whether to continue removing extents or not is decided by the return
value of function ext4_ext_more_to_rm() which checks 2 conditions:
a) if there are no more indexes to process.
b) if the number of entries are decreased in the header of "depth -1".
In case of hole punch, if the last block to be removed is not part of
the last extent index than this index will not be deleted, hence the
number of valid entries in the extent header of "depth - 1" will
remain as it is and ext4_ext_more_to_rm will return 0 although the
required blocks are not yet removed.
This patch fixes the above mentioned problem as instead of removing
the extents from the end of file, it starts removing the blocks from
the particular extent from which removing blocks is actually required
and continue backward until done.

This patch changes the 'ext4_handle_dirty_super()' function which
submits the superblock for I/O in the following cases:
1. When creating the first large file on a file system without
EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_LARGE_FILE feature.
2. When re-sizing the file-system.
3. When creating an xattr on a file-system without the
EXT4_FEATURE_COMPAT_EXT_ATTR feature.
If the file-system has journal enabled, the superblock is written via
the journal. We do not modify this path.
If the file-system has no journal, this function, falls back to just
marking the superblock as dirty using the 's_dirt' superblock
flag. This means that it delays the actual superblock I/O submission
by 5 seconds (default setting). Namely, the 'sync_supers()' kernel
thread will call 'ext4_write_super()' later and will actually submit
the superblock for I/O.
And this is the behavior this patch modifies: we stop using 's_dirt'
and just mark the superblock buffer as dirty right away. Indeed, all 3
cases above are extremely rare and it does not add any value to delay
the I/O submission for them.
Note: 'ext4_handle_dirty_super()' executes
'__ext4_handle_dirty_super()' with 'now = 0'. This patch basically
makes the 'now' argument unneeded and it will be deleted in one of the
next patches.
This patch also removes 's_dirt' condition on the unmount path because
we never set it anymore, so we should not test it.

This patch adds support for quotas as a first class feature in ext4;
which is to say, the quota files are stored in hidden inodes as file
system metadata, instead of as separate files visible in the file system
directory hierarchy.
It is based on the proposal at:
https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Design_For_1st_Class_Quota_in_Ext4
This patch introduces a new feature - EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_QUOTA
which, when turned on, enables quota accounting at mount time
iteself. Also, the quota inodes are stored in two additional superblock
fields. Some changes introduced by this patch that should be pointed
out are:
1) Two new ext4-superblock fields - s_usr_quota_inum and
s_grp_quota_inum for storing the quota inodes in use.
2) Default quota inodes are: inode#3 for tracking userquota and inode#4
for tracking group quota. The superblock fields can be set to use
other inodes as well.
3) If the QUOTA feature and corresponding quota inodes are set in
superblock, the quota usage tracking is turned on at mount time. On
'quotaon' ioctl, the quota limits enforcement is turned
on. 'quotaoff' ioctl turns off only the limits enforcement in this
case.
4) When QUOTA feature is in use, the quota mount options 'quota',
'usrquota', 'grpquota' are ignored by the kernel.
5) mke2fs or tune2fs can be used to set the QUOTA feature and initialize
quota inodes. The default reserved inodes will not be visible to user
as regular files.
6) The quota-tools will need to be modified to support hidden quota
files on ext4. E2fsprogs will also include support for creating and
fixing quota files.
7) Support is only for the new V2 quota file format.

For ext3/4 htree directories, using the vfs llseek function with
SEEK_END goes to i_size like for any other file, but in reality
we want the maximum possible hash value. Recent changes
in ext4 have cut & pasted generic_file_llseek() back into fs/ext4/dir.c,
but replicating this core code seems like a bad idea, especially
since the copy has already diverged from the vfs.
This patch updates generic_file_llseek_size to accept
both a custom maximum offset, and a custom EOF position. With this
in place, ext4_dir_llseek can pass in the appropriate maximum hash
position for both maxsize and eof, and get what it wants.
As far as I know, this does not fix any bugs - nfs in the kernel
doesn't use SEEK_END, and I don't know of any user who does. But
some ext4 folks seem keen on doing the right thing here, and I can't
really argue.

block device flush before calling sync_inodes_sb() because
wakeup_flusher_threads() is completely asynchronous and thus these functions

It is not necessary to write block devices twice. The reason why we first did
flush and then proper sync is that
for_each_bdev() {
write_bdev()
wait_for_completion()
}
is much slower than
for_each_bdev()
write_bdev()
for_each_bdev()
wait_for_completion()

In case block device does not have filesystem mounted on it, sys_sync will just
ignore it and doesn't writeout its dirty pages. This is because writeback code
avoids writing inodes from superblock without backing device and
blockdev_superblock is such a superblock. Since it's unexpected that sync
doesn't writeout dirty data for block devices be nice to users and change the
behavior to do so. So now we iterate over all block devices on blockdev_super
instead of iterating over all superblocks when syncing block devices.

Since the moment writes to quota files are using block device page cache and
space for quota structures is reserved at the moment they are first accessed we
have no reason to sync quota before inode writeback. In fact this order is now
only harmful since quota information can easily change during inode writeback
(either because conversion of delayed-allocated extents or simply because of
allocation of new blocks for simple filesystems not using page_mkwrite).
So move syncing of quota information after writeback of inodes into ->sync_fs
method. This way we do not have to use ->quota_sync callback which is primarily
intended for use by quotactl syscall anyway and we get rid of calling
->sync_fs() twice unnecessarily. We skip quota syncing for OCFS2 since it does
proper quota journalling in all cases (unlike ext3, ext4, and reiserfs which
also support legacy non-journalled quotas) and thus there are no dirty quota
structures.

This patch makes UFS stop using the VFS '->write_super()' method along with
the 's_dirt' superblock flag, because they are on their way out.
The way we implement this is that we schedule a delay job instead relying on
's_dirt' and '->write_super()'.
The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the
'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and
writes out all dirty superblocks using the '->write_super()' call-back. But the
problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every
5 seconds, even if there are no diry superblocks, or there are no client
file-systems which would need this (e.g., btrfs does not use
'->write_super()'). So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to make
file-systems to stop using the '->write_super()' VFS service, and then remove
it together with the kernel thread.

It does not look like sysv FS needs 'write_super()' at all, because all it
does is a timestamp update. I cannot test this patch, because this
file-system is so old and probably has not been used by anyone for years,
so there are no tools to create it in Linux. But from the code I see that
marking the superblock as dirty is basically marking the superblock buffers as
drity and then setting the s_dirt flag. And when 'write_super()' is executed to
handle the s_dirt flag, we just update the timestamp and again mark the
superblock buffer as dirty. Seems pointless.
It looks like we can update the timestamp more opprtunistically - on unmount
or remount of sync, and nothing should change.
Thus, this patch removes 'sysv_write_super()' and 's_dirt'.

'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and
writes out all dirty superblocks using the '->write_super()' call-back. But the
problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every
5 seconds, even if there are no diry superblocks, or there are no client
file-systems which would need this (e.g., btrfs does not use
'->write_super()'). So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to make
file-systems to stop using the '->write_super()' VFS service, and then remove
it together with the kernel thread.
Tested using fsstress from the LTP project.

Add an 'sb' VFS superblock back-reference to the 'struct hfs_sb_info' data
structure - we will need to find the VFS superblock from a
'struct hfs_sb_info' object in the next patch, so this change is jut a
preparation.
Remove few useless newlines while on it.

We have the following pattern in 2 places in HFS
if (!RDONLY)
hfs_mdb_commit();
This patch pushes the RDONLY check down to 'hfs_mdb_commit()'. This will
make the following patches a bit simpler.

HFS calls 'hfs_write_super()' from 'hfs_put_super()' in order to write the MDB
to the media. However, it is not needed because VFS calls '->sync_fs()' before
calling '->put_super()' - so by the time we are in 'hfs_write_super()', the MDB
is already synchronized.

Stop using lock_super for serializing the MDB changes - use the buffer-head own
lock instead. Tested with fsstress.

HFS uses 'lock_super()'/'unlock_super()' around 'hfs_mdb_commit()' in order
to serialize MDB (Master Directory Block) changes. Push it down to
'hfs_mdb_commit()' in order to simplify the code a bit.
