Since old mbcache code is gone, let's rename new code to mbcache since
number 2 is now meaningless. This is just a mechanical replacement.

The conversion is generally straightforward. We convert filesystem from
a global cache to per-fs one. Similarly to ext4 the tricky part is that
xattr block corresponding to found mbcache entry can get freed before we
get buffer lock for that block. So we have to check whether the entry is
still valid after getting the buffer lock.

Add locking to ensure that DAX faults are isolated from ext2 operations
that modify the data blocks allocation for an inode. This is intended to
be analogous to the work being done in XFS by Dave Chinner:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg90260.html
Compared with XFS the ext2 case is greatly simplified by the fact that ext2
already allocates and zeros new blocks before they are returned as part of
ext2_get_block(), so DAX doesn't need to worry about getting unmapped or
unwritten buffer heads.
This means that the only work we need to do in ext2 is to isolate the DAX
faults from inode block allocation changes. I believe this just means that
we need to isolate the DAX faults from truncate operations.
The newly introduced dax_sem is intended to replicate the protection
offered by i_mmaplock in XFS. In addition to truncate the i_mmaplock also
protects XFS operations like hole punching, fallocate down, extent
manipulation IOCTLS like xfs_ioc_space() and extent swapping. Truncate is
the only one of these operations supported by ext2.

The original dax patchset split the ext2/4_file_operations because of the
two NULL splice_read/splice_write in the dax case.
In the vfs if splice_read/splice_write are NULL we then call
default_splice_read/write.
What we do here is make generic_file_splice_read aware of IS_DAX() so the
original ext2/4_file_operations can be used as is.
For write it appears that iter_file_splice_write is just fine. It uses
the regular f_op->write(file,..) or new_sync_write(file, ...).

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created
inodes. We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating
process. This new behavior would also take into account the name of the
new object when deciding the new label. This is not the (supposed) full path,
just the last component of the path.
This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating
/etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these
operations. We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some
difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops
to get things set up correctly. This patch does not implement new
behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it
does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook. If no such name
exists it is fine to pass NULL.

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.

When an IO error happens while writing metadata buffers, we should better
report it and call ext2_error since the filesystem is probably no longer
consistent. Sometimes such IO errors happen while flushing thread does
background writeback, the buffer gets later evicted from memory, and thus
the only trace of the error remains as AS_EIO bit set in blockdevice's
mapping. So we check this bit in ext2_fsync and report the error although
we cannot be really sure which buffer we failed to write.

One of our users is complaining that his backup tool is upset on ext2
(while it's happy on ext3, xfs, ...) because of the mtime change.
The problem is:
mkdir foo
mkdir bar
mkdir foo/a
Now under ext2:
mv foo/a foo/b
changes mtime of 'foo/a' (foo/b after the move). That does not really
make sense and it does not happen under any other filesystem I've seen.
More complicated is:
mv foo/a bar/a
This changes mtime of foo/a (bar/a after the move) and it makes some
sense since we had to update parent directory pointer of foo/a. But
again, no other filesystem does this. So after some thoughts I'd vote
for consistency and change ext2 to behave the same as other filesystems.
Do not update mtime of a moved directory. Specs don't say anything
about it (neither that it should, nor that it should not be updated) and
other common filesystems (ext3, ext4, xfs, reiserfs, fat, ...) don't do
it. So let's become more consistent.

Any block based fs (this patch includes ext3) just has to declare its own
fiemap() function and then call this generic function with its own
get_block_t. This works well for block based filesystems that will map
multiple contiguous blocks at one time, but will work for filesystems that
only map one block at a time, you will just end up with an "extent" for each
block. One gotcha is this will not play nicely where there is hole+data
after the EOF. This function will assume its hit the end of the data as soon
as it hits a hole after the EOF, so if there is any data past that it will
not pick that up. AFAIK no block based fs does this anyway, but its in the
comments of the function anyway just in case.

Stop the EXT2 filesystem from using iget() and read_inode(). Replace
ext2_read_inode() with ext2_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
ext2_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
instead of an inode in the event of an error.
ext2_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.

Whilst trying to stress test a Promise SX8 card, we stumbled across
some nasty filesystem corruption in ext2. Our tests involved
creating an ext2 partition, mounting, running several concurrent
fsx's over it, umounting, and fsck'ing, all scripted[1]. The fsck
would always return with errors.
This regression was traced back to a change between 2.6.9 and
2.6.10, which moves the functionality of ext2_put_inode into
ext2_clear_inode. The attached patch reverses this change, and
eliminated the source of corruption.
Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> said:
I think his patch for ext2 is correct. The corruption on ext3 is not the same
issue he saw on ext2. I believe that's the race between discard reservation
and reservation in-use that we already fixed it in 2.6.12- rc1.
For the problem related to ext2, at the time when we design reservation for
ext3, we decide we only need to discard the reservation at the last file
close, so we have ext3_discard_reservation on iput_final- >ext3_clear_inode.
The ext2 handle discard preallocation differently at that time, it discard the
preallocation at each iput(), not in input_final(), so we think it's
unnecessary to thrash it so frequently, and the right thing to do, as we did
for ext3 reservation, discard preallocation on last iput(). So we moved the
ext2_discard_preallocation from ext2_put_inode(0 to ext2_clear_inode.
Since ext2 preallocation is doing pre-allocation on disk, so it is possible
that at the unmount time, someone is still hold the reference of the inode, so
the preallocation for a file is not discard yet, so we still mark those blocks
allocated on disk, while they are not actually in the inode's block map, so
fsck will catch/fix that error later.
This is not a issue for ext3, as ext3 reservation(pre-allocation) is done in
memory.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
