1cb0c924fa nilfs2: wait for discard to finish
nilfs_discard_segment() doesn't wait for completion of discard
requests.  This specifies BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag when calling
blkdev_issue_discard() in order to fix the sync failure.

ea1a16f716 nilfs2: fix false warning saying one of two super blocks is broken
After applying commit b2ac86e1, the following message got appeared
after unclean shutdown:

> NILFS warning: broken superblock. using spare superblock.

This turns out to be a false message due to the change which updates
two super blocks alternately.  The secondary super block now can be
selected if it's newer than the primary one.

This kills the false warning by suppressing it if another super block
is not actually broken.

af4e36318e nilfs2: fix list corruption after ifile creation failure
If nilfs_attach_checkpoint() gets a memory allocation failure during

a4ffdde6e5 simplify checks for I_CLEAR/I_FREEING
add I_CLEAR instead of replacing I_FREEING with it.  I_CLEAR is
equivalent to I_FREEING for almost all code looking at either;
it's there to keep track of having called clear_inode() exactly
once per inode lifetime, at some point after having set I_FREEING.
I_CLEAR and I_FREEING never get set at the same time with the
current code, so we can switch to setting i_flags to I_FREEING | I_CLEAR
instead of I_CLEAR without loss of information.  As the result of
such change, checks become simpler and the amount of code that needs
to know about I_CLEAR shrinks a lot.

1025774ce4 remove inode_setattr
Replace inode_setattr with opencoded variants of it in all callers.  This
moves the remaining call to vmtruncate into the filesystem methods where it
can be replaced with the proper truncate sequence.

In a few cases it was obvious that we would never end up calling vmtruncate
so it was left out in the opencoded variant:

 spufs: explicitly checks for ATTR_SIZE earlier
 btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier
 ufs: contains an opencoded simple_seattr + truncate that sets the filesize just above

In addition to that ncpfs called inode_setattr with handcrafted iattrs,
which allowed to trim down the opencoded variant.

f4e420dc42 clean up write_begin usage for directories in pagecache
For filesystem that implement directories in pagecache we call
block_write_begin with an already allocated page for this code, while the
normal regular file write path uses the default block_write_begin behaviour.

Get rid of the __foofs_write_begin helper and opencode the normal write_begin
call in foofs_write_begin, while adding a new foofs_prepare_chunk helper for
the directory code.  The added benefit is that foofs_prepare_chunk has
a much saner calling convention.

Note that the interruptible flag passed into block_write_begin is always
ignored if we already pass in a page (see next patch for details), and
we never were doing truncations of exessive blocks for this case either so we
can switch directly to block_write_begin_newtrunc.

7b6d91daee block: unify flags for struct bio and struct request
Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver.  There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests:  BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD.  Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.

Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

89c0fd014d nilfs2: reject filesystem with unsupported block size
This inserts sanity check that refuses to mount a filesystem with
unsupported block size.

Previously, kernel code of nilfs was looking only limitation of
devices though mkfs.nilfs2 limits the range of block sizes; there was
no check that prevents rec_len overflow with larger block sizes.

With this change, block sizes larger than 64KB or smaller than 1KB
will get rejected explicitly by kernel.

6cda9fa257 nilfs2: avoid rec_len overflow with 64KB block size
With 64KB blocksize, a directory entry can have size 64KB which does
not fit into 16 bits we have for entry length.  So this patch stores
0xffff instead and converts value when read from / written to disk.

Nilfs derives its directory implementation from ext2 filesystem, and
this draws upon the corresponding change on ext2.

 - wait_on_page_locked() use in the function is eliminable since

 - PageUptodate() check is eliminable for the same reason.

9b7b265c9a nilfs2: reduce repetitive calculation of max number of child nodes
The current btree implementation repeats the same calculation on the
maximum number of child nodes.  This is because a few low level
routines use the calculation for index addressing in a btree node
block.

This reduces the calculation by explicitly passing the maximum number
of child nodes (ncmax) through their argument.

This changes parameter passing of the following functions:

 - nilfs_btree_node_dptrs
 - nilfs_btree_node_get_ptr
 - nilfs_btree_node_set_ptr
 - nilfs_btree_node_init
 - nilfs_btree_node_move_left
 - nilfs_btree_node_move_right
 - nilfs_btree_node_insert
 - nilfs_btree_node_delete, and
 - nilfs_btree_get_node

The following functions are removed:

 - nilfs_btree_node_nchildren_min
 - nilfs_btree_node_nchildren_max

Most middle level btree operations are rewritten to pass a proper
ncmax value depending on whether each occurrence of node is "root" or
not.

A constant NILFS_BTREE_ROOT_NCHILDREN_MAX is used for the root node,
whereas nilfs_btree_nchildren_per_block() function is used for
non-root nodes.  If a node could be either root or a non-root node, an
output argument of nilfs_btree_get_node() is used to set up ncmax.

802d317754 nilfs2: add nodiscard mount option
Nilfs has "discard" mount option which issues discard/TRIM commands to
underlying block device, but it lacks a complementary option and has
no way to disable the feature through remount.

This adds "nodiscard" option to resolve this imbalance.

773bc4f3b6 nilfs2: add barrier mount option
Nilfs enables write barriers by default and has "nobarrier" mount
option to disable this feature.  But it lacks the complementary option
and has no way to re-enable the feature on remount.

This adds "barrier" option to resolve this imbalance.

325020477a nilfs2: do not update log cursor for small change
Super blocks of nilfs are periodically overwritten in order to record
the recent log position.  This shortens recovery time after unclean
unmount, but the current implementation performs the update even for a
few blocks of change.  If the filesystem gets small changes slowly and
continually, super blocks may be updated excessively.

This moderates the issue by skipping update of log cursor if it does
not cross a segment boundary.

6c12516083 nilfs2: implement fallback for super root search
Although nilfs redundantly uses two super blocks and each may point to
different position on log, the current version of nilfs does not try
fallback to the spare super block when it doesn't find any valid log
at the position that the primary super block points to.

This has been a cause of mount failures due to write order reversals
on barrier less block devices.

This inserts fallback code in error path of nilfs_search_super_root
routine to resolve the mount failure problem.

2d72b99ecd nilfs2: add missing error code in comment of nilfs_search_super_root
nilfs_search_super_root can return -ENOMEM, but this error code is not
described in its kernel-doc comment.  This fixes the discrepancy.

843d63baa5 nilfs2: separate setup of log cursor from init_nilfs
This separates a setup routine of log cursor from init_nilfs().  The
routine, nilfs_store_log_cursor, reads the last position of the log
containing a super root, and initializes relevant state on the nilfs
object.

b2ac86e1a8 nilfs2: sync super blocks in turns
This will sync super blocks in turns instead of syncing duplicate
super blocks at the time.  This will help searching valid super root
when super block is written into disk before log is written, which is
happen when barrier-less block devices are unmounted uncleanly.  In
the situation, old super block likely points to valid log.

This patch introduces ns_sbwcount member to the nilfs object and adds
nilfs_sb_will_flip() function; ns_sbwcount counts how many times super
blocks write back to the disk.  And, nilfs_sb_will_flip() decides
whether flipping required or not based on the count of ns_sbwcount to
sync super blocks asymmetrically.

The following functions are also changed:

 - nilfs_prepare_super(): flips super blocks according to the
   argument.  The argument is calculated by nilfs_sb_will_flip()
   function.

 - nilfs_cleanup_super(): sets "clean" flag to both super blocks if
   they point to the same checkpoint.

To update both of super block information, caller of
nilfs_commit_super must set the information on both super blocks.

d26493b6f0 nilfs2: introduce nilfs_prepare_super
This function checks validity of super block pointers.
If first super block is invalid, it will swap the super blocks.
The function should be called before any super block information updates.
Caller must obtain nilfs->ns_sem.
