Propagate flags such as S_APPEND, S_IMMUTABLE, etc. from i_flags into
ext4-specific i_flags. Quota code changes these flags on quota files
(to make it harder for sysadmin to screw himself) and these changes were
not correctly propagated into the filesystem.

This change was suggested by Andreas Dilger.
This patch changes the EXT_MAX_LEN value and extent code which marks/checks
uninitialized extents. With this change it will be possible to have
initialized extents with 2^15 blocks (earlier the max blocks we could have
was 2^15 - 1). This way we can have better extent-to-block alignment.
Now, maximum number of blocks we can have in an initialized extent is 2^15
and in an uninitialized extent is 2^15 - 1.

This patch adds write support to the uninitialized extents that get
created when a preallocation is done using fallocate(). It takes care of
splitting the extents into multiple (upto three) extents and merging the
new split extents with neighbouring ones, if possible.

This patch implements ->fallocate() inode operation in ext4. With this
patch users of ext4 file systems will be able to use fallocate() system
call for persistent preallocation. Current implementation only supports
preallocation for regular files (directories not supported as of date)
with extent maps. This patch does not support block-mapped files currently.
Only FALLOC_ALLOCATE and FALLOC_RESV_SPACE modes are being supported as of
now.

fallocate() is a new system call being proposed here which will allow
applications to preallocate space to any file(s) in a file system.
Each file system implementation that wants to use this feature will need
to support an inode operation called ->fallocate().
Applications can use this feature to avoid fragmentation to certain
level and thus get faster access speed. With preallocation, applications
also get a guarantee of space for particular file(s) - even if later the
the system becomes full.
Currently, glibc provides an interface called posix_fallocate() which
can be used for similar cause. Though this has the advantage of working
on all file systems, but it is quite slow (since it writes zeroes to
each block that has to be preallocated). Without a doubt, file systems
can do this more efficiently within the kernel, by implementing
the proposed fallocate() system call. It is expected that
posix_fallocate() will be modified to call this new system call first
and incase the kernel/filesystem does not implement it, it should fall
back to the current implementation of writing zeroes to the new blocks.
ToDos:
1. Implementation on other architectures (other than i386, x86_64,
and ppc). Patches for s390(x) and ia64 are already available from
previous posts, but it was decided that they should be added later
once fallocate is in the mainline. Hence not including those patches
in this take.
2. Changes to glibc,
a) to support fallocate() system call
b) to make posix_fallocate() and posix_fallocate64() call fallocate()

Introduce is_owner_or_cap() macro in fs.h, and convert over relevant
users to it. This is done because we want to avoid bugs in the future
where we check for only effective fsuid of the current task against a
file's owning uid, without simultaneously checking for CAP_FOWNER as
well, thus violating its semantics.
[ XFS uses special macros and structures, and in general looked ...
untouchable, so we leave it alone -- but it has been looked over. ]
The (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid) check in generic_permission() and
exec_permission_lite() is left alone, because those operations are
covered by CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH. Similarly operations
falling under the purview of CAP_CHOWN and CAP_LEASE are also left alone.

As long as sec= options aren't used, there's still no change in behavior here

will be ignored).

We want it to be possible for users to restrict exports both by IP address and
by pseudoflavor. The pseudoflavor information has previously been passed
using special auth_domains stored in the rq_client field. After the preceding
patch that stored the pseudoflavor in rq_pflavor, that's now superfluous; so
now we use rq_client for the ip information, as auth_null and auth_unix do.
However, we keep around the special auth_domain in the rq_gssclient field for
backwards compatibility purposes, so we can still do upcalls using the old
"gss/pseudoflavor" auth_domain if upcalls using the unix domain to give us an
appropriate export. This allows us to continue supporting old mountd.
In fact, for this first patch, we always use the "gss/pseudoflavor"
auth_domain (and only it) if it is available; thus rq_client is ignored in the
auth_gss case, and this patch on its own makes no change in behavior; that
will be left to later patches.
Note on idmap: I'm almost tempted to just replace the auth_domain in the idmap
upcall by a dummy value--no version of idmapd has ever used it, and it's
unlikely anyone really wants to perform idmapping differently depending on the
where the client is (they may want to perform *credential* mapping
differently, but that's a different matter--the idmapper just handles id's
used in getattr and setattr). But I'm updating the idmapd code anyway, just
out of general backwards-compatibility paranoia.

Split the callers of exp_get_by_name(), exp_find(), and exp_parent() into
those that are processing requests and those that are doing other stuff (like
looking up filehandles for mountd).
No change in behavior, just a (fairly pointless, on its own) cleanup.
(Note this has the effect of making nfsd_cross_mnt() pass rqstp->rq_client
instead of exp->ex_client into exp_find_by_name(). However, the two should
have the same value at this point.)

Currently exp_find(), exp_get_by_name(), and friends, return an export on
success, and on failure return:
errors -EAGAIN (drop this request pending an upcall) or
-ETIMEDOUT (an upcall has timed out), or
return NULL, which can mean either that there was a memory allocation
failure, or that an export was not found, or that a passed-in
export lacks an auth_domain.
Many callers seem to assume that NULL means that an export was not found,
which may lead to bugs in the case of a memory allocation failure.
Modify these functions to distinguish between the two NULL cases by returning
either -ENOENT or -ENOMEM. They now never return NULL. We get to simplify
some code in the process.
We return -ENOENT in the case of a missing auth_domain. This case should
probably be removed (or converted to a bug) after confirming that it can never
happen.

One more incremental delegation policy improvement: don't give out a
delegation on a file if conflicting access has previously required that a
delegation be revoked on that file. (In practice we'll forget about the
conflict when the struct nfs4_file is removed on close, so this is of limited
use for now, though it should at least solve a temporary problem with
self-conflicts on write opens from the same client.)

Our original NFSv4 delegation policy was to give out a read delegation on any
open when it was possible to.
Since the lifetime of a delegation isn't limited to that of an open, a client
may quite reasonably hang on to a delegation as long as it has the inode
cached. This becomes an obvious problem the first time a client's inode cache
approaches the size of the server's total memory.
Our first quick solution was to add a hard-coded limit. This patch makes a
mild incremental improvement by varying that limit according to the server's
total memory size, allowing at most 4 delegations per megabyte of RAM.
My quick back-of-the-envelope calculation finds that in the worst case (where
every delegation is for a different inode), a delegation could take about
1.5K, which would make the worst case usage about 6% of memory. The new limit
works out to be about the same as the old on a 1-gig server.

nfs4_acl_nfsv4_to_posix() returns an error and returns any posix acls
calculated in two caller-provided pointers. It was setting these pointers to
-errno in some error cases, resulting in nfsd4_set_nfs4_acl() calling
posix_acl_release() with a -errno as an argument.
Fix both the caller and the callee, by modifying nfsd4_set_nfs4_acl() to
stop relying on the passed-in-pointers being left as NULL in the error
case, and by modifying nfs4_acl_nfsv4_to_posix() to stop returning

Both lockd and (in the nfsv4 case) nfsd enforce a "grace period" after reboot,
during which clients may reclaim locks from the previous server instance, but
may not acquire new locks.
Currently the lockd and nfsd enforce grace periods of different lengths. This
may cause problems when we reboot a server with both v2/v3 and v4 clients.
For example, if the lockd grace period is shorter (as is likely the case),
then a v3 client might acquire a new lock that conflicts with a lock already
held (but not yet reclaimed) by a v4 client.
This patch calculates a lease time that lockd and nfsd can both use.

When the exportfs interface was added the expectation was that filesystems
provide an operation to convert from a file handle to an inode/dentry, but it
kept a backwards compat option that still calls into iget.
Calling into iget from non-filesystem code is very bad, because it gives too
little information to filesystem, and simply crashes if the filesystem doesn't
implement the ->read_inode routine.
Fortunately there are only two filesystems left using this fallback: efs and
jfs. This patch moves a copy of export_iget to each of those to implement the
get_dentry method.
While this is a temporary increase of lines of code in the kernel it allows
for a much cleaner interface and important code restructuring in later
patches.

currently the export_operation structure and helpers related to it are in
fs.h. fs.h is already far too large and there are very few places needing the
export bits, so split them off into a separate header.

KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
buffer. This is nonsense and error-prone. Moreover, when the caller
forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.
This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.
* off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro
is fixed.
* Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,
MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the
trailing '\0'. Fix it.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

It is a bug to set a page dirty if it is not uptodate unless it has
buffers. If the page has buffers, then the page may be dirty (some buffers
dirty) but not uptodate (some buffers not uptodate). The exception to this
rule is if the set_page_dirty caller is racing with truncate or invalidate.
A buffer can not be set dirty if it is not uptodate.
If either of these situations occurs, it indicates there could be some data
loss problem. Some of these warnings could be a harmless one where the
page or buffer is set uptodate immediately after it is dirtied, however we
should fix those up, and enforce this ordering.
Bring the order of operations for truncate into line with those of
invalidate. This will prevent a page from being able to go !uptodate while
we're holding the tree_lock, which is probably a good thing anyway.
