fsstack_copy_inode_size
Copy the inode size and blocks from one inode to another correctly on 32-bit
systems with CONFIG_SMP, CONFIG_PREEMPT, or CONFIG_LBDAF. Use proper inode
spinlocks only when i_size/i_blocks cannot fit in one 32-bit word.

This get_nlinks parameter was never used by the only mainline user,
ecryptfs; and it has never been used by unionfs or wrapfs either.

A user-specified get_nlinks may depend on other inode attributes.

Trevor found a file size problem in eCryptfs in recent kernels, and he
tracked it down to an fsstack change.
This was the eCryptfs copy_attr_all:
> -void ecryptfs_copy_attr_all(struct inode *dest, const struct inode *src)
> -{
> - dest->i_mode = src->i_mode;
> - dest->i_nlink = src->i_nlink;
> - dest->i_uid = src->i_uid;
> - dest->i_gid = src->i_gid;
> - dest->i_rdev = src->i_rdev;
> - dest->i_atime = src->i_atime;
> - dest->i_mtime = src->i_mtime;
> - dest->i_ctime = src->i_ctime;
> - dest->i_blkbits = src->i_blkbits;
> - dest->i_flags = src->i_flags;
> -}
This is the fsstack copy_attr_all:
> +void fsstack_copy_attr_all(struct inode *dest, const struct inode *src,
> + int (*get_nlinks)(struct inode *))
> +{
> + if (!get_nlinks)
> + dest->i_nlink = src->i_nlink;
> + else
> + dest->i_nlink = (*get_nlinks)(dest);
> +
> + dest->i_mode = src->i_mode;
> + dest->i_uid = src->i_uid;
> + dest->i_gid = src->i_gid;
> + dest->i_rdev = src->i_rdev;
> + dest->i_atime = src->i_atime;
> + dest->i_mtime = src->i_mtime;
> + dest->i_ctime = src->i_ctime;
> + dest->i_blkbits = src->i_blkbits;
> + dest->i_flags = src->i_flags;

The addition of copy_inode_size breaks eCryptfs, since eCryptfs needs to
interpolate the file sizes (eCryptfs has extra space in the lower file for
the header). The setting of the upper inode size occurs elsewhere in
eCryptfs, and the new copy_attr_all now undoes what eCryptfs was doing
right beforehand.
I see three ways of going forward from here. (1) Something like this patch
needs to go in (assuming it jives with Unionfs), (2) we need to make a
change to the fsstack API for more fine-grained control over copying
attributes (e.g., by also including a callback function for calculating the
right file size, which will require some more work on both eCryptfs and
Unionfs), or (3) the fsstack patch on eCryptfs (commit
0cc72dc7f050188d8d7344b1dd688cbc68d3cd30 made on Fri Dec 8 02:36:31 2006
-0800) needs to be yanked in 2.6.20.
I think the simplest solution, from eCryptfs' perspective, is to just
remove the inode size copy.
Remove inode size copy in general fsstack attr copy code. Stacked
filesystems may need to interpolate the inode size, since the file
size in the lower file may be different than the file size in the
stacked layer.

Introduce several fsstack_copy_* functions which allow stackable filesystems
(such as eCryptfs and Unionfs) to easily copy over (currently only) inode
attributes. This prevents code duplication and allows for code reuse.
