This cleans up a few of the complaints of __generic_block_fiemap. I've
fixed all the typing stuff, used inline functions instead of macros,
gotten rid of a couple of variables, and made sure the size and block
requests are all block aligned. It also fixes a problem where sometimes
FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST wasn't being set properly.

Commit 148f948ba877f4d3cdef036b1ff6d9f68986706a (vfs: Introduce new
helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode) broke
the raw driver.
We now call through generic_file_aio_write -> generic_write_sync ->
vfs_fsync_range. vfs_fsync_range has:
if (!fop || !fop->fsync) {
ret = -EINVAL;
goto out;
}
But drivers/char/raw.c doesn't set an fsync method.
We have two options: fix it or remove the raw driver completely. I'm
happy to do either, the fact this has been broken for so long suggests it
is rarely used.
The patch below adds an fsync method to the raw driver. My knowledge of
the block layer is pretty sketchy so this could do with a once over.
If we instead decide to remove the raw driver, this patch might still be
useful as a backport to 2.6.33 and 2.6.32.

This fixes inefficient page-by-page reads on POSIX_FADV_RANDOM.
POSIX_FADV_RANDOM used to set ra_pages=0, which leads to poor performance:
a 16K read will be carried out in 4 _sync_ 1-page reads.
In other places, ra_pages==0 means
- it's ramfs/tmpfs/hugetlbfs/sysfs/configfs
- some IO error happened
where multi-page read IO won't help or should be avoided.
POSIX_FADV_RANDOM actually want a different semantics: to disable the
*heuristic* readahead algorithm, and to use a dumb one which faithfully
submit read IO for whatever application requests.
So introduce a flag FMODE_RANDOM for POSIX_FADV_RANDOM.
Note that the random hint is not likely to help random reads performance
noticeably. And it may be too permissive on huge request size (its IO
size is not limited by read_ahead_kb).
In Quentin's report (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/24/145), the overall
(NFS read) performance of the application increased by 313%!

Add a new UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW flag to umount(2). This is needed to prevent
symlink attacks in unprivileged unmounts (fuse, samba, ncpfs).
Additionally, return -EINVAL if an unknown flag is used (and specify
an explicitly unused flag: UMOUNT_UNUSED). This makes it possible for
the caller to determine if a flag is supported or not.

Currently the locking in blockdev_direct_IO is a mess, we have three different
locking types and very confusing checks for some of them. The most
complicated one is DIO_OWN_LOCKING for reads, which happens to not actually be
used.
This patch gets rid of the DIO_OWN_LOCKING - as mentioned above the read case
is unused anyway, and the write side is almost identical to DIO_NO_LOCKING.
The difference is that DIO_NO_LOCKING always sets the create argument for
the get_blocks callback to zero, but we can easily move that to the actual
get_blocks callbacks. There are four users of the DIO_NO_LOCKING mode:
gfs already ignores the create argument and thus is fine with the new
version, ocfs2 only errors out if create were ever set, and we can remove
this dead code now, the block device code only ever uses create for an
error message if we are fully beyond the device which can never happen,
and last but not least XFS will need the new behavour for writes.
Now we can replace the lock_type variable with a flags one, where no flag
means the DIO_NO_LOCKING behaviour and DIO_LOCKING is kept as the first
flag. Separate out the check for not allowing to fill holes into a separate
flag, although for now both flags always get set at the same time.
Also revamp the documentation of the locking scheme to actually make sense.

The discard ioctl is used by mkfs utilities to clear a block device
prior to putting metadata down. However, not all devices return zeroed
blocks after a discard. Some drives return stale data, potentially
containing old superblocks. It is therefore important to know whether
discarded blocks are properly zeroed.
Both ATA and SCSI drives have configuration bits that indicate whether
zeroes are returned after a discard operation. Implement a block level
interface that allows this information to be bubbled up the stack and
queried via a new block device ioctl.

There seems to be a regression in direct write path due to following
commit in for-2.6.33 branch of block tree.
commit 1af60fbd759d31f565552fea315c2033947cfbe6
Author: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com>
Date: Fri Oct 2 18:56:53 2009 -0400
block: get rid of the WRITE_ODIRECT flag
Marking direct writes as WRITE_SYNC_PLUG instead of WRITE_ODIRECT, sets
the NOIDLE flag in bio and hence in request. This tells CFQ to not expect
more request from the queue and not idle on it (despite the fact that
queue's think time is less and it is not seeky).
So direct writers lose big time when competing with sequential readers.
Using fio, I have run one direct writer and two sequential readers and
following are the results with 2.6.32-rc7 kernel and with for-2.6.33
branch.
Test
====
1 direct writer and 2 sequential reader running simultaneously.
[global]
directory=/mnt/sdc/fio/
runtime=10
[seqwrite]
rw=write
size=4G
direct=1
[seqread]
rw=read
size=2G
numjobs=2
2.6.32-rc7
==========
direct writes: aggrb=2,968KB/s
readers : aggrb=101MB/s
for-2.6.33 branch
=================
direct write: aggrb=19KB/s
readers aggrb=137MB/s
This patch brings back the WRITE_ODIRECT flag, with the difference that we
don't set the BIO_RW_UNPLUG flag so that device is not unplugged after
submission of request and an explicit unplug from submitter is required.
That way we fix the jeff's issue of not enough merging taking place in aio
path as well as make sure direct writes get their fair share.
After the fix
=============
for-2.6.33 + fix
----------------
direct writes: aggrb=2,728KB/s
reads: aggrb=103MB/s

Hi,
The WRITE_ODIRECT flag is only used in one place, and that code path
happens to also call blk_run_address_space. The introduction of this
flag, then, could result in the device being unplugged twice for every
I/O.
Further, with the batching changes in the next patch, we don't want an
O_DIRECT write to imply a queue unplug.

grab an active reference to keep the file system busy and add an explicit

of blocking on s_umount.

Now that we have the freeze count there is not much reason for bd_mount_sem
anymore. The actual freeze/thaw operations are serialized using the
bd_fsfreeze_mutex, and the only other place we take bd_mount_sem is
get_sb_bdev which tries to prevent mounting a filesystem while the block
device is frozen. Instead of add a check for bd_fsfreeze_count and
return -EBUSY if a filesystem is frozen. While that is a change in user
visible behaviour a failing mount is much better for this case rather
than having the mount process stuck uninterruptible for a long time.

sb->s_maxbytes is supposed to indicate the maximum size of a file that can
exist on the filesystem. It's declared as an unsigned long long.
Even if a filesystem has no inherent limit that prevents it from using
every bit in that unsigned long long, it's still problematic to set it to
anything larger than MAX_LFS_FILESIZE. There are places in the kernel
that cast s_maxbytes to a signed value. If it's set too large then this
cast makes it a negative number and generally breaks the comparison.
Change s_maxbytes to be loff_t instead. That should help eliminate the
temptation to set it too large by making it a signed value.
Also, add a warning for couple of releases to help catch filesystems that
set s_maxbytes too large. Eventually we can either convert this to a
BUG() or just remove it and in the hope that no one will get it wrong now
that it's a signed value.

Hugetlbfs needs to do special things instead of truncate_inode_pages().
Currently, it copied generic_forget_inode() except for
truncate_inode_pages() call which is asking for trouble (the code there
isn't trivial). So create a separate function generic_detach_inode()
which does all the list magic done in generic_forget_inode() and call
it from hugetlbfs_forget_inode().

We do this automatically in get_sb_bdev() from the set_bdev_super()
callback. Filesystems that have their own private backing_dev_info
must assign that in ->fill_super().
Note that ->s_bdi assignment is required for proper writeback!

Truncating metadata pages is not safe right now before
we haven't audited all file systems.
To enable truncation only for data address space define
a new address_space callback error_remove_page.
This is used for memory_failure.c memory error handling.
This can be then set to truncate_inode_page()
This patch just defines the new operation and adds documentation.
Callers and users come in followon patches.

IS_SYNC inode
Introduce new function for generic inode syncing (vfs_fsync_range) and use
it from fsync() path. Introduce also new helper for syncing after a sync
write (generic_write_sync) using the generic function.
Use these new helpers for syncing from generic VFS functions. This makes
O_SYNC writes to block devices acquire i_mutex for syncing. If we really
care about this, we can make block_fsync() drop the i_mutex and reacquire
it before it returns.

generic_file_aio_write_nolock() is now used only by block devices and raw
character device. Filesystems should use __generic_file_aio_write() in case
generic_file_aio_write() doesn't suit them. So rename the function to
blkdev_aio_write() and move it to fs/blockdev.c.
