4a52df7797 nilfs2: fix incorrect KERN_CRIT messages in case of write failures
In case of write-failure retries, the following KERN_CRIT level
messages are mistakenly output by nilfs_dat_commit_start() function:

nilfs_dat_commit_start: vbn = 408463, start = 12506, end = 18446744073709551615, pbn = 530210
nilfs_dat_commit_start: vbn = 408515, start = 12506, end = 18446744073709551615, pbn = 530211
nilfs_dat_commit_start: vbn = 408464, start = 12506, end = 18446744073709551615, pbn = 530212
...

This suppresses these messages.

003ff182fd nilfs2: allow future expansion of metadata read out via get info ioctl
Nilfs has some ioctl commands to read out metadata from meta data
files:

 - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO for checkpoint file,
 - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUINFO for segment usage file, and
 - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_VINFO for Disk Address Transalation (DAT) file,
   respectively.

Every routine on these metadata files is implemented so that it allows
future expansion of on-disk format.  But, the above ioctl commands do
not support expansion even though nilfs_argv structure can handle
arbitrary size for data exchanged via ioctl.

This allows future expansion of the following structures which give
basic format of the "get information" ioctls:

 - struct nilfs_cpinfo
 - struct nilfs_suinfo
 - struct nilfs_vinfo

So, this introduces forward compatility of such ioctl commands.

In this patch, a sanity check in nilfs_ioctl_get_info() function is
changed to accept larger data structure [1], and metadata read
routines are rewritten so that they become compatible for larger
structures; the routines will just ignore the remaining fields which
the current version of nilfs doesn't know.

[1] The ioctl function already has another upper limit (PAGE_SIZE
    against a structure, which appears in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy
    function), and this will not cause security problem.

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.

a17564f58b nilfs2: disk address translator
This adds the disk address translation file (DAT) whose primary function
is to convert virtual disk block numbers to actual disk block numbers.

The virtual block numbers of NILFS are associated with checkpoint
generation numbers, and this file also provides functions to manage the
lifetime information of each virtual block number.
