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,

83cef708c6 UBIFS: introduce more I/O helpers
Introduce the following I/O helper functions: 'ubifs_leb_read()',
'ubifs_leb_write()', 'ubifs_leb_change()', 'ubifs_leb_unmap()',
'ubifs_leb_map()', 'ubifs_is_mapped().

The idea is to wrap all UBI I/O functions in order to encapsulate various
assertions and error path handling (error message, stack dump, switching to R/O
mode). And there are some other benefits of this which will be used in the
following patches.

This patch does not switch whole UBIFS to use these functions yet.

3766244769 UBIFS: use correct flags in lprops
The UBIFS lpt tree is in many aspects similar to the TNC tree, and we have
similar flags for these trees. And by mistake we use the COW_ZNODE flag for
LPT in some places, instead of the right flag COW_CNODE. And this works
only because these two constants have the same value.

This patch makes all the LPT code to use COW_CNODE and also changes COW_CNODE
constant value to make sure we do not misuse the flags any more.

9f58d3503a UBIFS: add a superblock flag for free space fix-up
The 'space_fixup' flag can be set in the superblock of a new filesystem by
mkfs.ubifs to indicate that any eraseblocks with free space remaining should be
fixed-up the first time it's mounted (after which the flag is un-set). This
means that the UBIFS image has been flashed by a "dumb" flasher and the free
space has been actually programmed (writing all 0xFFs), so this free space
cannot be used. UBIFS fixes the free space up by re-writing the contents of all
LEBs with free space using the atomic LEB change UBI operation.

debf12d541 UBIFS: substitute the replay tree with a replay list
This patch simplifies replay even further - it removes the replay tree and
adds the replay list instead. Indeed, we just do not need to use a tree here -
all we need to do is to add all nodes to the list and then sort it. Using
RB-tree is an overkill - more code and slower. And since we replay buds in
order, we expect the nodes to follow in _mostly_ sorted order, so the merge
sort becomes much cheaper in average than an RB-tree.

18d1d7fbcc UBIFS: introduce mounting flag
This is a preparational patch which removes the 'c->always_chk_crc' which was
set during mounting and remounting to R/W mode and introduces 'c->mounting'
flag which is set when mounting. Now the 'c->always_chk_crc' flag is the
same as 'c->remounting_rw && c->mounting'.

This patch is a preparation for the next one which will need to know when we
are mounting and remounting to R/W mode, which is exactly what
'c->always_chk_crc' effectively is, but its name does not suite the
next patch. The other possibility would be to just re-name it, but then
we'd end up with less logical flags coverage.

2ef13294d2 UBIFS: introduce new flags for RO mounts
Commit 2fde99cb55 "UBIFS: mark VFS SB RO too"
introduced regression. This commit made UBIFS set the 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the
VFS superblock when it switches to R/O mode due to an error. This was done
to make VFS show the R/O UBIFS flag in /proc/mounts.

However, several places in UBIFS relied on the 'MS_RDONLY' flag and assume this
flag can only change when we re-mount. For example, 'ubifs_put_super()'.

This patch introduces new UBIFS flag - 'c->ro_mount' which changes only when
we re-mount, and preserves the way UBIFS was originally mounted (R/W or R/O).
This allows us to de-initialize UBIFS cleanly in 'ubifs_put_super()'.

This patch also changes all 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)' assertions to
'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media && !c->ro_mount)', because we never should write
anything if the FS was mounter R/O.

All the places where we test for 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS SB were changed
and now we test the 'c->ro_mount' flag instead, because it preserves the
original UBIFS mount type, unlike the 'MS_RDONLY' flag.

2680d722bf UBIFS: introduce new flag for RO due to errors
The R/O state may have various reasons:

1. The UBI volume is R/O
2. The FS is mounted R/O
3. The FS switched to R/O mode because of an error

However, in UBIFS we have only one variable which represents cases
1 and 3 - 'c->ro_media'. Indeed, we set this to 1 if we switch to
R/O mode due to an error, and then we test it in many places to
make sure that we stop writing as soon as the error happens.

But this is very unclean. One consequence of this, for example, is
that in 'ubifs_remount_fs()' we use 'c->ro_media' to check whether
we are in R/O mode because on an error, and we print a message
in this case. However, if we are in R/O mode because the media
is R/O, our message is bogus.

This patch introduces new flag - 'c->ro_error' which is set when
we switch to R/O mode because of an error. It also changes all
"if (c->ro_media)" checks to "if (c->ro_error)" checks, because
this is what the checks actually mean. We do not need to check
for 'c->ro_media' because if the UBI volume is in R/O mode, we
do not allow R/W mounting, and now writes can happen. This is
guaranteed by VFS. But it is good to double-check this, so this
patch also adds many "ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)" checks.

In the 'ubifs_remount_fs()' function this patch makes a bit more
changes - it fixes the error messages as well.

ba2f48f70e UBIFS: mark unused key objects as invalid
When scanning the flash, UBIFS builds a list of flash nodes of type
'struct ubifs_scan_node'. Each scanned node has a 'snod->key' field. This field
is valid for most of the nodes, but invalid for some node type, e.g., truncation
nodes. It is safer to explicitly initialize such keys to something invalid,
rather than leaving them initialized to all zeros, which has key type of
UBIFS_INO_KEY.

This patch introduces new "fake" key type UBIFS_INVALID_KEY and initializes
unused 'snod->key' objects to this type. It also adds debugging assertions in
the TNC code to make sure no one ever tries to look these nodes up in the TNC.

2c27c65ed0 check ATTR_SIZE contraints in inode_change_ok
Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in ->setattr by adding
those checks to inode_change_ok.  Also clean up and document inode_change_ok
to make this obvious.

As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and
simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error.  This
simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize
almost everywhere.  Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark
ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious.

Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an
audit for its removal anyway.

Note: setattr code in ecryptfs doesn't call inode_change_ok at all and
needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

348709bad3 UBIFS: do not print scary error messages needlessly
At the moment UBIFS print large and scary error messages and
flash dumps in case of nearly any corruption, even if it is
a recoverable corruption. For example, if the master node is
corrupted, ubifs_scan() prints error dumps, then UBIFS recovers
just fine and goes on.

This patch makes UBIFS print scary error messages only in
real cases, which are not recoverable. It adds 'quiet' argument
to the 'ubifs_scan()' function, so the caller may ask 'ubi_scan()'
not to print error messages if the caller is able to do recovery.

0b335b9d7d UBIFS: slightly optimize write-buffer timer usage
This patch adds the following minor optimization:

1. If write-buffer does not use the timer, indicate it with the
   wbuf->no_timer variable, instead of using the wbuf->softlimit
   variable. This is better because wbuf->softlimit is of ktime_t
   type, and the ktime_to_ns function contains 64-bit multiplication.

2. Do not call the 'hrtimer_cancel()' function for write-buffers
   which do not use timers.

3. Do not cancel the timer in 'ubifs_put_super()' because the
   synchronization function does this.

f2c5dbd7b7 UBIFS: start using hrtimers
UBIFS uses timers for write-buffer write-back. It is not
crucial for us to write-back exactly on time. We are fine
to write-back a little earlier or later. And this means
we may optimize UBIFS timer so that it could be groped
with a close timer event, so that the CPU would not be
waken up just to do the write back. This is optimization
to lessen power consumption, which is important in
embedded devices UBIFS is used for.

hrtimers have a nice feature: they are effectively range
timers, and we may defind the soft and hard limits for
it. Standard timers do not have these feature. They may
only be made deferrable, but this means there is effectively
no hard limit. So, we will better use hrtimers.

963f0cf6d1 UBIFS: add R/O compatibility
Now UBIFS is supported by u-boot. If we ever decide to change the
media format, then people will have to upgrade their u-boots to
mount new format images. However, very often it is possible to
preserve R/O forward-compatibility, even though the write
forward-compatibility is not preserved.

This patch introduces a new super-block field which stores the
R/O compatibility version.

The patch also fixes some spelling issues and makes comments
use "LEB" instead of "eraseblock", which is more correct.

27ad279933 UBIFS: remove fast unmounting
This UBIFS feature has never worked properly, and it was a mistake
to add it because we simply have no use-cases. So, lets still accept
the fast_unmount mount option, but ignore it. This does not change
much, because UBIFS commit in sync_fs anyway, and sync_fs is called
while unmounting.

b466f17d78 UBIFS: remount ro fixes
- preserve the idx_gc list - it will be needed in the same
state, should UBIFS be remounted rw again
- prevent remounting ro if we have switched to read only
mode (due to a fatal error)

6f7ab6d458 UBIFS: fix no_chk_data_crc
When data CRC checking is disabled, UBIFS returns incorrect return
code from the 'try_read_node()' function (0 instead of 1, which means
CRC error), which make the caller re-read the data node again, but using
a different code patch, so the second read is fine. Thus, we read the
same node twice. And the result of this is that UBIFS is slower
with no_chk_data_crc option than it is with chk_data_crc option.
This patches fixes the problem.

49d128aa60 UBIFS: ensure orphan area head is initialized
When mounting read-only the orphan area head is
not initialized.  It must be initialized when
remounting read/write, but it was not.  This patch

e4d9b6cbfc UBIFS: fix LEB list freeing
When freeing the c->idx_lebs list, we have to release the LEBs as well,
because we might be called from mount to read-only mode code. Otherwise
the LEBs stay taken forever, which may cause problems when we re-mount
back ro RW mode.

f92b982680 UBIFS: fix checkpatch.pl warnings
These are mostly long lines and wrong indentation warning
fixes. But also there are two volatile variables and
checkpatch.pl complains about them:

WARNING: Use of volatile is usually wrong: see Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt
+       volatile int gc_seq;

WARNING: Use of volatile is usually wrong: see Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt
+       volatile int gced_lnum;

Well, we anyway use smp_wmb() for c->gc_seq and c->gced_lnum, so
these 'volatile' modifiers can be just dropped.
