- Remove usless checks, because it is too late to check that inode != NULL
at the moment it was referenced several times.
- Double lock routines looks very ugly and locking ordering relays on
order of i_ino, but other kernel code rely on order of pointers.
Let's make them simple and clean.
- check that inodes belongs to the same SB as soon as possible.

When performing an online resize, we add a bunch of groups at one time
in ext4_flex_group_add, so in most cases a lot of group descriptors
will be in the same group block. But in the end of this function,
update_backups will be called for every group descriptor and the same
block will be copied and journalled again and again. It is really a
waste.
Fix things so we only update a particular bg descriptor block once and
skip subsequent updates of the same block.

The crash was caused by a variable being erronously declared static in

In addition to /proc/mounts, the problem can also be easily replicated
by accessing /proc/fs/ext4/<partition>/options in parallel:
$ cat /proc/fs/ext4/<partition>/options > options.txt
... and then running the following command in two different terminals:
$ while diff /proc/fs/ext4/<partition>/options options.txt; do true; done

The update_backups() function is used to backup all the metadata
blocks, so we should not take it for granted that 'data' is pointed to
a super block and use ext4_superblock_csum_set to calculate the
checksum there. In case where the data is a group descriptor block,
it will corrupt the last group descriptor, and then e2fsck will
complain about it it.
As all the metadata checksums should already be OK when we do the
backup, remove the wrong ext4_superblock_csum_set and it should be
just fine.

In ext4_nonda_switch(), if the file system is getting full we used to
call writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle(). The problem is that we can be
holding i_mutex already, and this causes a potential deadlock when
writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() when it tries to take s_umount. (See
lockdep output below).
As it turns out we don't need need to hold s_umount; the fact that we
are in the middle of the write(2) system call will keep the superblock
pinned. Unfortunately writeback_inodes_sb() checks to make sure
s_umount is taken, and the VFS uses a different mechanism for making
sure the file system doesn't get unmounted out from under us. The
simplest way of dealing with this is to just simply grab s_umount
using a trylock, and skip kicking the writeback flusher thread in the
very unlikely case that we can't take a read lock on s_umount without
blocking.
Also, we now check the cirteria for kicking the writeback thread
before we decide to whether to fall back to non-delayed writeback, so
if there are any outstanding delayed allocation writes, we try to get
them resolved as soon as possible.

Commit 1c6bd7173d introduced a regression where an online resize
operation which did not change the number of block groups would fail,
i.e:
mke2fs -t /dev/vdc 60000
mount /dev/vdc
resize2fs /dev/vdc 60001
This was due to a bug in the logic regarding when to try converting
the filesystem to use meta_bg.

code: (a) Fix a sparse warning; (b) only check to make sure the device
is large enough once, instead of multiple times through the resize

This is a revert of commit b56ff9d397, which removed the call to
ext4_issue_discard() to fix a BUG reported because
ext4_issue_discard() was being called from inside a block group
spinlock. As it turns out this bug had already been fixed by Lukas
Czerner in commit 53fdcf992d by the simple expedient of moving when
we call ext4_issue_discard() outside the spinlock.
So it should be safe to re-enable this functionality, which I tested

Change struct dquot dq_id to a struct kqid and remove the now
unecessary dq_type.
Make minimal changes to dquot, quota_tree, quota_v1, quota_v2, ext3,
ext4, and ocfs2 to deal with the change in quota structures and
signatures. The ocfs2 changes are larger than most because of the
extensive tracing throughout the ocfs2 quota code that prints out
dq_id.
quota_tree.c:get_index is modified to take a struct kqid instead of a
qid_t because all of it's callers pass in dquot->dq_id and it allows
me to introduce only a single conversion.
The rest of the changes are either just replacing dq_type with dq_id.type,
adding conversions to deal with the change in type and occassionally
adding qid_eq to allow quota id comparisons in a user namespace safe way.

htree_dirblock_to_tree() declares a non-initialized 'err' variable,
which is passed as a reference to another functions expecting them to
set this variable with their error codes.
It's passed to ext4_bread(), which then passes it to ext4_getblk(). If
ext4_map_blocks() returns 0 due to a lookup failure, leaving the
ext4_getblk() buffer_head uninitialized, it will make ext4_getblk()
return to ext4_bread() without initialize the 'err' variable, and
ext4_bread() will return to htree_dirblock_to_tree() with this variable
still uninitialized. htree_dirblock_to_tree() will pass this variable
with garbage back to ext4_htree_fill_tree(), which expects a number of
directory entries added to the rb-tree. which, in case, might return a
fake non-zero value due the garbage left in the 'err' variable, leading
the kernel to an Oops in ext4_dx_readdir(), once this is expecting a
filled rb-tree node, when in turn it will have a NULL-ed one, causing an
invalid page request when trying to get a fname struct from this NULL-ed
rb-tree node in this line:
fname = rb_entry(info->curr_node, struct fname, rb_hash);
The patch itself initializes the err variable in
htree_dirblock_to_tree() to avoid usage mistakes by the called
functions, and also fix ext4_getblk() to return a initialized 'err'
variable when ext4_map_blocks() fails a lookup.

Previously, we allocated the s_flex_groups array to the maximum size
that the file system could be resized. There was two problems with
this approach. First, it wasted memory in the common case where the
file system was not resized. Secondly, once we start allowing online
resizing using the meta_bg scheme, there is no maximum size that the
file system can be resized. So instead, we need to grow the
s_flex_groups at inline resize time.

Currently in ext4 the length of zero-out chunk is set to 7 file system
blocks. But if an inode has uninitailized extents from using
fallocate to preallocate space, and the workload issues many random
writes, this can cause a fragmented extent tree that will
unnecessarily grow the extent tree.
So create a new sysfs tunable, extent_max_zeroout_kb, which controls
the maximum size where blocks will be zeroed out instead of creating a
new uninitialized extent. The default of this has been sent to 32kb.

Very large directories can cause significant performance problems, or

highly constrained memory environment (whether it is VM's with a small
amount of memory or in a small memory cgroup).
So it is useful, in cloud server/data center environments, to be able
to set a filesystem-wide cap on the maximum size of a directory, to
ensure that directories never get larger than a sane size. We do this
via a new mount option, max_dir_size_kb. If there is an attempt to
grow the directory larger than max_dir_size_kb, the system call will
return ENOSPC instead.

If an inode has more than 4 extents, but then later some of the
extents are merged together, we can optimize the file system by moving
the extents up into the inode, and discarding the extent tree block.
This is important, because if there are a large number of inodes with
an external extent tree blocks where the contents could fit in the
inode, this can significantly increase the fsck time of the file
system.

After we transfer set the EXT4_ERROR_FS bit in the file system
superblock, it's not enough to call jbd2_journal_clear_err() to clear
the error indication from journal superblock --- we need to call
jbd2_journal_update_sb_errno() as well. Otherwise, when the root file
system is mounted read-only, the journal is replayed, and the error
indicator is transferred to the superblock --- but the s_errno field
in the jbd2 superblock is left set (since although we cleared it in
memory, we never flushed it out to disk).
This can end up confusing e2fsck. We should make e2fsck more robust
in this case, but the kernel shouldn't be leaving things in this
confused state, either.

The pdflush thread is long gone, so this patch removes references to pdflush
from ext4 comments.

The '->write_super' superblock method is gone, and this patch removes all the
references to 'write_super' from ext3.
