When a hole spans across page boundaries, the next write forces
a read of the block. This could end up reading existing garbage
data from the disk in ocfs2_map_page_blocks. This leads to
non-zero holes. In order to avoid this, mark the writes as new
when the holes span across page boundaries.

Data compression and data cow are controlled across the entire FS by mount
options right now. ioctls are needed to set this on a per file or per
directory basis. This has been proposed previously, but VFS developers
wanted us to use generic ioctls rather than btrfs-specific ones.
According to Chris's comment, there should be just one true compression
method(probably LZO) stored in the super. However, before this, we would
wait for that one method is stable enough to be adopted into the super.
So I list it as a long term goal, and just store it in ram today.
After applying this patch, we can use the generic "FS_IOC_SETFLAGS" ioctl to
control file and directory's datacow and compression attribute.
NOTE:
- The compression type is selected by such rules:
If we mount btrfs with compress options, ie, zlib/lzo, the type is it.
Otherwise, we'll use the default compress type (zlib today).
v1->v2:
- rebase to the latest btrfs.
v2->v3:
- fix a problem, i.e. when a file is set NOCOW via mount option, then this NOCOW
will be screwed by inheritance from parent directory.

This patch makes the free space cluster refilling code a little easier to
understand, and fixes some things with the bitmap part of it. Currently we
either want to refill a cluster with
1) All normal extent entries (those without bitmaps)
2) A bitmap entry with enough space
The current code has this ugly jump around logic that will first try and fill up
the cluster with extent entries and then if it can't do that it will try and
find a bitmap to use. So instead split this out into two functions, one that
tries to find only normal entries, and one that tries to find bitmaps.
This also fixes a suboptimal thing we would do with bitmaps. If we used a
bitmap we would just tell the cluster that we were pointing at a bitmap and it
would do the tree search in the block group for that entry every time we tried
to make an allocation. Instead of doing that now we just add it to the clusters
group.
I tested this with my ENOSPC tests and xfstests and it survived.

Now that the buffer cache has it's own LRU, we do not need to use
the page cache to provide persistent caching and reclaim
infrastructure. Convert the buffer cache to use alloc_pages()
instead of the page cache. This will remove all the overhead of page
cache management from setup and teardown of the buffers, as well as
needing to mark pages accessed as we find buffers in the buffer
cache.
By avoiding the page cache, we also remove the need to keep state in
the page_private(page) field for persistant storage across buffer
free/buffer rebuild and so all that code can be removed. This also
fixes the long-standing problem of not having enough bits in the
page_private field to track all the state needed for a 512
sector/64k page setup.
It also removes the need for page locking during reads as the pages
are unique to the buffer and nobody else will be attempting to
access them.
Finally, it removes the buftarg address space lock as a point of
global contention on workloads that allocate and free buffers
quickly such as when creating or removing large numbers of inodes in
parallel. This remove the 16TB limit on filesystem size on 32 bit
machines as the page index (32 bit) is no longer used for lookups
of metadata buffers - the buffer cache is now solely indexed by disk
address which is stored in a 64 bit field in the buffer.

During mount, we can do a quotacheck that involves a bulkstat pass
on all inodes. If there are more inodes in the filesystem than can
be held in memory, we require the inode cache shrinker to run to
ensure that we don't run out of memory.
Unfortunately, the inode cache shrinker is not registered until we
get to the end of the superblock setup process, which is after a
quotacheck is run if it is needed. Hence we need to register the
inode cache shrinker earlier in the mount process so that we don't
OOM during mount. This requires that we also initialise the syncd
work before we register the shrinker, so we nee dto juggle that
around as well.
While there, make sure that we have set up the block sizes in the
VFS superblock correctly before the quotacheck is run so that any
inodes that are cached as a result of the quotacheck have their
block size fields set up correctly.

There is an ABBA deadlock between synchronous inode flushing in
xfs_reclaim_inode and xfs_icluster_free. xfs_icluster_free locks the
buffer, then takes inode ilocks, whilst synchronous reclaim takes
the ilock followed by the buffer lock in xfs_iflush().
To avoid this deadlock, separate the inode cluster buffer locking
semantics from the synchronous inode flush semantics, allowing
callers to attempt to lock the buffer but still issue synchronous IO
if it can get the buffer. This requires xfs_iflush() calls that
currently use non-blocking semantics to pass SYNC_TRYLOCK rather
than 0 as the flags parameter.
This allows xfs_reclaim_inode to avoid the deadlock on the buffer
lock and detect the failure so that it can drop the inode ilock and
restart the reclaim attempt on the inode. This allows
xfs_ifree_cluster to obtain the inode lock, mark the inode stale and
release it and hence defuse the deadlock situation. It also has the
pleasant side effect of avoiding IO in xfs_reclaim_inode when it
tries to next reclaim the inode as it is now marked stale.

Preallocation and hole punch transactions are currently synchronous
and this is causing performance problems in some cases. The
transactions don't need to be synchronous as we don't need to
guarantee the preallocation is persistent on disk until a
fdatasync, fsync, sync operation occurs. If the file is opened
O_SYNC or O_DATASYNC, only then should the transaction be issued
synchronously.

Merge get_new_inode/get_new_inode_fast into iget5_locked/iget_locked
as those were the only callers. Remove the internal ifind/ifind_fast
helpers - ifind_fast only had a single caller, and ifind had two
callers wanting it to do different things. Also clean up the comments
in this area to focus on information important to a developer trying
to use it, instead of overloading them with implementation details.

First thing we do in writeback_single_inode() is take the i_lock and
the last thing we do is drop it. A caller already holds the i_lock,
so pull the i_lock out of writeback_single_inode() to reduce the
round trips on this lock during inode writeback.
