Most fasync implementations do something like:
return fasync_helper(...);
But fasync_helper() will return a positive value at times - a feature used
in at least one place. Thus, a number of other drivers do:
err = fasync_helper(...);
if (err < 0)
return err;
return 0;
In the interests of consistency and more concise code, it makes sense to
map positive return values onto zero where ->fasync() is called.

Removing the BKL from FASYNC handling ran into the challenge of keeping the
setting of the FASYNC bit in filp->f_flags atomic with regard to calls to
the underlying fasync() function. Andi Kleen suggested moving the handling
of that bit into fasync(); this patch does exactly that. As a result, we
have a couple of internal API changes: fasync() must now manage the FASYNC
bit, and it will be called without the BKL held.
As it happens, every fasync() implementation in the kernel with one
exception calls fasync_helper(). So, if we make fasync_helper() set the
FASYNC bit, we can avoid making any changes to the other fasync()
functions - as long as those functions, themselves, have proper locking.
Most fasync() implementations do nothing but call fasync_helper() - which
has its own lock - so they are easily verified as correct. The BKL had
already been pushed down into the rest.
The networking code has its own version of fasync_helper(), so that code
has been augmented with explicit FASYNC bit handling.

Traditionally, changes to struct file->f_flags have been done under BKL
protection, or with no protection at all. This patch causes all f_flags
changes after file open/creation time to be done under protection of
f_lock. This allows the removal of some BKL usage and fixes a number of
longstanding (if microscopic) races.

o Freeze the filesystem
int ioctl(int fd, int FIFREEZE, arg)
fd: The file descriptor of the mountpoint
FIFREEZE: request code for the freeze
arg: Ignored
Return value: 0 if the operation succeeds. Otherwise, -1
o Unfreeze the filesystem
int ioctl(int fd, int FITHAW, arg)
fd: The file descriptor of the mountpoint
FITHAW: request code for unfreeze
arg: Ignored
Return value: 0 if the operation succeeds. Otherwise, -1
Error number: If the filesystem has already been unfrozen,

This patch implements the FIEMAP ioctl for GFS2. We can use the generic
code (aside from a lock order issue, solved as per Ted Tso's suggestion)
for which I've introduced a new variant of the generic function. We also
have one exception to deal with, namely stuffed files, so we do that
"by hand", setting all the required flags.
This has been tested with a modified (I could only find an old version) of
Eric's test program, and appears to work correctly.
This patch does not currently support FIEMAP of xattrs, but the plan is to add
that feature at some future point.

Changeset a238b790d5 (Call fasync()
functions without the BKL) introduced a race which could leave
file->f_flags in a state inconsistent with what the underlying
driver/filesystem believes. Revert that change, and also fix the same
races in ioctl_fioasync() and ioctl_fionbio().
This is a minimal, short-term fix; the real fix will not involve the
BKL.

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.

Basic vfs-level fiemap infrastructure, which sets up a new ->fiemap
inode operation.
Userspace can get extent information on a file via fiemap ioctl. As input,
the fiemap ioctl takes a struct fiemap which includes an array of struct
fiemap_extent (fm_extents). Size of the extent array is passed as
fm_extent_count and number of extents returned will be written into
fm_mapped_extents. Offset and length fields on the fiemap structure
(fm_start, fm_length) describe a logical range which will be searched for
extents. All extents returned will at least partially contain this range.
The actual extent offsets and ranges returned will be unmodified from their
offset and range on-disk.
The fiemap ioctl returns '0' on success. On error, -1 is returned and errno
is set. If errno is equal to EBADR, then fm_flags will contain those flags
which were passed in which the kernel did not understand. On all other
errors, the contents of fm_extents is undefined.
As fiemap evolved, there have been many authors of the vfs patch. As far as
I can tell, the list includes:

Rename old vfs_ioctl to do_ioctl, because the comment above it clearly
indicates that it is an internal function not to be exported to modules;
therefore it should have a more traditional do_XXX name. The new do_ioctl
is exported in fs.h but not to modules.
Rename the old do_ioctl to vfs_ioctl because the names vfs_XXX should
preferably be reserved to callable VFS functions which modules may call, as
many other vfs_XXX functions already do. Export the new vfs_ioctl to GPL
modules so others can use it (including Unionfs and eCryptfs). Add DocBook
for new vfs_ioctl.

sys_ioctl() was only exported for our first version of compat ioctl
handling. Now that the whole compat ioctl handling mess is more or less
sorted out there are no more modular users left and we can kill it.
There's one exception and that's sparc64's solaris compat module, but
sparc64 has it's own export predating the generic one by years for that
which this patch leaves untouched.

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.
