locks: plumb a "priv" pointer into the setlease routines
In later patches, we're going to add a new lock_manager_operation to
finish setting up the lease while still holding the i_lock.  To do
this, we'll need to pass a little bit of info in the fcntl setlease
case (primarily an fasync structure). Plumb the extra pointer into
there in advance of that.

We declare this pointer as a void ** to make it clear that this is
private info, and that the caller isn't required to set this unless
the lm_setup specifically requires it.

locks: consolidate "nolease" routines

fs/libfs.c: add generic data flush to fsync
Description by Jan Kara:
 "A lot of older filesystems don't properly flush volatile disk caches
  on fsync(2) which can lead to loss of fsynced data after power failure.

This patch makes generic_file_fsync() issue proper cache flush to fix the
problem.  Sysadmin can use /sys/devices/.../cache_type to tell the system
it should not send the cache flush."

vfs: make it possible to access the dentry hash/len as one 64-bit entry
This allows comparing hash and len in one operation on 64-bit
architectures.  Right now only __d_lookup_rcu() takes advantage of this,
since that is the case we care most about.

The use of anonymous struct/unions hides the alternate 64-bit approach
from most users, the exception being a few cases where we initialize a
'struct qstr' with a static initializer.  This makes the problematic
cases use a new QSTR_INIT() helper function for that (but initializing
just the name pointer with a "{ .name = xyzzy }" initializer remains
valid, as does just copying another qstr structure).

	# echo 0x1234567812345678 > dummy64

	# echo 0x80000000 > dummy64
	# cat dummy64
	0xffffffff80000000

A value larger than INT_MAX cannot be written to the debugfs file created
by debugfs_create_u64 or debugfs_create_x64 on 32bit machine.  Because
simple_attr_write() uses simple_strtol() for the conversion.

To fix this, use simple_strtoll() instead.

check ATTR_SIZE contraints in inode_change_ok
Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in ->setattr by adding
those checks to inode_change_ok.  Also clean up and document inode_change_ok
to make this obvious.

As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and
simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error.  This
simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize
almost everywhere.  Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark
ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious.

Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an
audit for its removal anyway.

Note: setattr code in ecryptfs doesn't call inode_change_ok at all and
needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.

default to simple_setattr
With the new truncate sequence every filesystem that wants to support file
size changes on disk needs to implement its own ->setattr.  So instead
of calling inode_setattr which supports size changes call into a simple
method that doesn't support this.  simple_setattr is almost what we
want except that it does not mark the inode dirty after changes.  Given
that marking the inode dirty is a no-op for the simple in-memory filesystems
that use simple_setattr currently just add the mark_inode_dirty call.

Also add a WARN_ON for the presence of a truncate method to simple_setattr
to catch new instances of it during the transition period.

fs: introduce new truncate sequence
Introduce a new truncate calling sequence into fs/mm subsystems. Rather than
setattr > vmtruncate > truncate, have filesystems call their truncate sequence
from ->setattr if filesystem specific operations are required. vmtruncate is
deprecated, and truncate_pagecache and inode_newsize_ok helpers introduced
previously should be used.

simple_setattr is introduced for simple in-ram filesystems to implement
the new truncate sequence. Eventually all filesystems should be converted
to implement a setattr, and the default code in notify_change should go
away.

simple_setsize is also introduced to perform just the ATTR_SIZE portion
of simple_setattr (ie. changing i_size and trimming pagecache).

To implement the new truncate sequence:
- filesystem specific manipulations (eg freeing blocks) must be done in
  the setattr method rather than ->truncate.
- vmtruncate can not be used by core code to trim blocks past i_size in
  the event of write failure after allocation, so this must be performed
  in the fs code.
- convert usage of helpers block_write_begin, nobh_write_begin,
  cont_write_begin, and *blockdev_direct_IO* to use _newtrunc postfixed
  variants. These avoid calling vmtruncate to trim blocks (see previous).
- inode_setattr should not be used. generic_setattr is a new function
  to be used to copy simple attributes into the generic inode.
- make use of the better opportunity to handle errors with the new sequence.

Big problem with the previous calling sequence: the filesystem is not called
until i_size has already changed.  This means it is not allowed to fail the
call, and also it does not know what the previous i_size was. Also, generic
code calling vmtruncate to truncate allocated blocks in case of error had
no good way to return a meaningful error (or, for example, atomically handle
block deallocation).

rename the generic fsync implementations
We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently.
The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called
simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with,
the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync
which can lead to some confusion.

This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync
to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used
with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious
what to expect.  In addition add some documentation for both methods.

FS / libfs: Implement simple_write_to_buffer
It will be used in suspend code and serves as an easy wrap around
copy_from_user. Similar to simple_read_from_buffer, it takes care
of transfers with proper lengths depending on available and count
parameters and advances ppos appropriately.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
