Create bdgrab(). This function copies an existing reference to a
block_device. It is safe to call from any context.
Hibernation code wishes to copy a reference to the active swap device.
Right now it calls bdget() under a spinlock, but this is wrong because
bdget() can sleep. It doesn't need a full bdget() because we already
hold a reference to active swap devices (and the spinlock protects
against swapoff).

This patch adds ioctls to vfs for compatibility with legacy XFS
pre-allocation ioctls (XFS_IOC_*RESVP*). The implementation
effectively invokes sys_fallocate for the new ioctls.
Also handles the compat_ioctl case.
Note: These legacy ioctls are also implemented by OCFS2.

This makes the performance impact of possible mmap_miss wrap around to be
temporary and tolerable: i.e. MMAP_LOTSAMISS=100 extra readarounds.
Otherwise if ever mmap_miss wraps around to negative, it takes INT_MAX
cache misses to bring it back to normal state. During the time mmap
readaround will be _enabled_ for whatever wild random workload. That's
almost permanent performance impact.

The only user of the i_cindex element in the inode structure is used
is by the firewire drivers. As part of an attempt to slim down the
inode structure to save memory --- since a typical Linux system will
have hundreds of thousands if not millions of inodes cached, a
reduction in the size inode has high leverage.
The firewire driver does not need i_cindex in any fast path, so it's
simple enough to calculate when it is needed, instead of wasting space
in the inode structure.

It is unnecessarily fragile to have two places (fsync_super() and do_sync())
doing data integrity sync of the filesystem. Alter __fsync_super() to
accommodate needs of both callers and use it. So after this patch
__fsync_super() is the only place where we gather all the calls needed to
properly send all data on a filesystem to disk.
Nice bonus is that we get a complete livelock avoidance and write_supers()
is now only used for periodic writeback of superblocks.

This patch creates a way for fsnotify groups to attach marks to inodes.
These marks have little meaning to the generic fsnotify infrastructure
and thus their meaning should be interpreted by the group that attached
them to the inode's list.
dnotify and inotify will make use of these markings to indicate which
inodes are of interest to their respective groups. But this implementation
has the useful property that in the future other listeners could actually
use the marks for the exact opposite reason, aka to indicate which inodes
it had NO interest in.

Equivalent using up_write/deactivate_super is safe for that purpose

Normally filesystems take the required precautions, but
a) we do have bugs in that area in some of them.

For every lock request lockd creates a new file_lock object
in nlmsvc_setgrantargs() by copying the passed in file_lock with
locks_copy_lock(). A filesystem can attach it's own lock_operations
vector to the file_lock. It has to be cleaned up at the end of the
file_lock's life. However, lockd doesn't do it today, yet it
asserts in nlmclnt_release_lockargs() that the per-filesystem
state is clean.
This patch fixes it by exporting locks_release_private() and adding
it to nlmsvc_freegrantargs(), to be symmetrical to creating a
file_lock in nlmsvc_setgrantargs().

By default, CFQ will anticipate more IO from a given io context if the

being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those.

Impact: cleanup
We want to remove percpu.h from rcupdate.h (for upcoming kmemtrace
changes), but this is not possible currently without breaking the
build because fs.h has an implicit include file depedency: it
uses PAGE_SIZE but does not include asm/page.h which defines it.
This problem gets masked in practice because most fs.h using sites
use rcupreempt.h (and other headers) which includes percpu.h which
brings in asm/page.h indirectly.
We cannot add asm/page.h to asm/fs.h because page.h is not an
exported header.
Move simple_transaction_set() to the other simple-transaction
file helpers in fs/libfs.c.
This removes the include file hell and also reduces

Impact: cleanup
We want to remove percpu.h from rcupdate.h (for upcoming kmemtrace
changes), but this is not possible currently without breaking the
build because fs.h has implicit include file depedencies: it uses
GFP_* types in inlines but does not include gfp.h.
In practice most fs.h using .c files get gfp.h included implicitly,
via an indirect route: via rcupdate.h inclusion - so this underlying
problem gets masked in practice.
So we want to solve fs.h's dependency on gfp.h.
gfp.h can not be included here directly because it is not exported and it
would break the build the following way:
/home/mingo/tip/usr/include/linux/bsg.h:11: found __[us]{8,16,32,64} type without #include <linux/types.h>
/home/mingo/tip/usr/include/linux/fs.h:11: included file 'linux/gfp.h' is not exported
make[3]: *** [/home/mingo/tip/usr/include/linux/.check] Error 1
make[2]: *** [linux] Error 2
As suggested by Alexey Dobriyan, move alloc_secdata() and free_secdata()
to linux/security.h - they belong there. This also cleans fs.h of GFP_*
usage.

Now that the filesystem freeze operation has been elevated to the VFS, and
is just an ioctl away, some sort of safety net for unintentionally frozen
root filesystems may be in order.
The timeout thaw originally proposed did not get merged, but perhaps
something like this would be useful in emergencies.
For example, freeze /path/to/mountpoint may freeze your root filesystem if
you forgot that you had that unmounted.
I chose 'j' as the last remaining character other than 'h' which is sort
of reserved for help (because help is generated on any unknown character).
I've tested this on a non-root fs with multiple (nested) freezers, as well
as on a system rendered unresponsive due to a frozen root fs.

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);

Since simple_set_mnt() never fails, would be cleaner if it did not

Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which
suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the
filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and
replication) while it is mounted.
In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature
and it would be used to get the consistent backup.
If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it
without a commercial filesystem.
So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature.
I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps.
1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl.
2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot
with the storage device's feature.
3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl.
4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume
or the snapshot.
This patch:
VFS:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they can return an error.
Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation
freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion.
ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed,
and unlockfs always returns 0.
reiserfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.
