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.
This patch also removes a confusing comment.

Move BKL into ->put_super from the only caller. A couple of
filesystems had trivial enough ->put_super (only kfree and NULLing of
s_fs_info + stuff in there) to not get any locking: coda, cramfs, efs,
hugetlbfs, omfs, qnx4, shmem, all others got the full treatment. Most
of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually.
Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.
[AV: original used to move lock_super() down as well; these changes are
removed since we don't do lock_super() at all in generic_shutdown_super()
now]
[AV: fuse, btrfs and xfs are known to need no damn BKL, exempt]

Make sure a superblock really is writeable by checking MS_RDONLY
under s_umount. sync_filesystems needed some re-arragement for
that, but all but one sync_filesystem caller had the correct locking
already so that we could add that check there. cachefiles grew
s_umount locking.
I've also added a WARN_ON to sync_filesystem to assert this for
future callers.

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.

UBIFS has erroneuosly set 'sb->s_dev' to the UBI volume
character device major/minor. This may lead to clashes
if there is another FS mounted to a block device with
the same major/minor numbers. User-space programs which
use 'stat->st_dev' may get confused because of this.
This problem was found by Al Viro. He also pointed the
way to fix the problem - use 'set_anon_super()' and
'kill_anon_super()' VFS helpers.

When UBIFS runs out of space it spends a lot of time trying to
find more space before returning ENOSPC. As there is no point
repeating that unless something has changed, UBIFS has an
optimization to record that the file system is 100% full and not
try to find space. That flag was not being reset when a pending
deletion was finally done.

simple_set_mnt() is defined as returning 'int' but always returns 0.
Callers assume simple_set_mnt() never fails and don't properly cleanup if
it were to _ever_ fail. For instance, get_sb_single() and get_sb_nodev()
should:
up_write(sb->s_unmount);
deactivate_super(sb);
if simple_set_mnt() fails.
Since simple_set_mnt() never fails, would be cleaner if it did not
return anything.

forward-compatibility is not preserved.

When mounting/re-mounting, UBIFS returns EINVAL even if the ENOSPC
or EROFS codes are are much better, just because we have not found
references to ENOSPC/EROFS in mount (2) man pages. This patch
changes this behaviour and makes UBIFS return real error code,
because:
1. It is just less confusing and more logical
2. mount is not described in SuSv3, so it seems to be not really
well-standartized
3. we do not cover all cases, and any random undocumented in man
pages error code may be returned anyway

VFS calls '->sync_fs()' twice - first time with @wait = 0, second

UBIFS commits on unmount to make the next mount faster. Currently,
it commits only if there is more than LEB size bytes in the
journal. This is not very good, because journal size may be
large (512KiB). And there may be few deletions in the journal
which do not take much journal space, but which do introduce
a lot of TNC changes and make mount slow.
Thus, jurt remove this condition and always commit.

Always run commit in sync_fs, because even if the journal seems
to be almost empty, there may be a deletion which removes a large
file, which affects the index greatly. And because we want

commit.

Argh. The ->sync_fs call is called _before_ all inodes are flushed.

To avoid memory allocation failure during bulk-read, pre-allocate
a bulk-read buffer, so that if there is only one bulk-reader at
a time, it would just use the pre-allocated buffer and would not
do any memory allocation. However, if there are more than 1 bulk-
reader, then only one reader would use the pre-allocated buffer,
while the other reader would allocate the buffer for itself.
Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
Bulk-read allocates 128KiB or more using kmalloc. The allocation
starts failing often when the memory gets fragmented. UBIFS still
works fine in this case, because it falls-back to standard
(non-optimized) read method, though. This patch teaches bulk-read
to allocate exactly the amount of memory it needs, instead of
allocating 128KiB every time.
This patch is also a preparation to the further fix where we'll
have a pre-allocated bulk-read buffer as well. For example, now
the @bu object is prepared in 'ubifs_bulk_read()', so we could
path either pre-allocated or allocated information to
'ubifs_do_bulk_read()' later. Or teaching 'ubifs_do_bulk_read()'
not to allocate 'bu->buf' if it is already there.
Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
Bulk-read allocates a lot of memory with 'kmalloc()', and when it
is/gets fragmented 'kmalloc()' fails with a scarry warning. But
because bulk-read is just an optimization, UBIFS keeps working fine.
Supress the warning by passing __GFP_NOWARN option to 'kmalloc()'.
This patch also introduces a macro for the magic 128KiB constant.
This is just neater.
Note, this is not really fixes the problem we had, but just hides
the warnings. The further patches fix the problem.
