Currently in case of append O_DIRECT write (block not allocated yet),
ocfs2 will fall back to buffered I/O. This has some disadvantages.
Firstly, it is not the behavior as expected. Secondly, it will consume
huge page cache, e.g. in mass backup scenario. Thirdly, modern
filesystems such as ext4 support this feature.
In this patch set, the direct I/O write doesn't fallback to buffer I/O
write any more because the allocate blocks are enabled in direct I/O now.
This patch (of 9):
Prepare some interfaces which will be used in append O_DIRECT write.

ocfs2's allocation unit is the cluster. This can be larger than a block
or even a memory page. This means that a file may have many blocks in
its last extent that are beyond the block containing i_size. There also
may be more unwritten extents after that.
When ocfs2 grows a file, it zeros the entire cluster in order to ensure
future i_size growth will see cleared blocks. Unfortunately,
block_write_full_page() drops the pages past i_size. This means that
ocfs2 is actually leaking garbage data into the tail end of that last
cluster. This is a bug.
We adjust ocfs2_write_begin_nolock() and ocfs2_extend_file() to detect
when a write or truncate is past i_size. They will use
ocfs2_zero_extend() to ensure the data is properly zeroed.
Older versions of ocfs2_zero_extend() simply zeroed every block between
i_size and the zeroing position. This presumes three things:
1) There is allocation for all of these blocks.
2) The extents are not unwritten.
3) The extents are not refcounted.
(1) and (2) hold true for non-sparse filesystems, which used to be the
only users of ocfs2_zero_extend(). (3) is another bug.
Since we're now using ocfs2_zero_extend() for sparse filesystems as
well, we teach ocfs2_zero_extend() to check every extent between
i_size and the zeroing position. If the extent is unwritten, it is
ignored. If it is refcounted, it is CoWed. Then it is zeroed.

When we use mmap, we CoW the refcountd clusters in
ocfs2_write_begin_nolock. While for normal file
io(including directio), we do CoW in
ocfs2_prepare_inode_for_write.

For each quota type each node has local quota file. In this file it stores
changes users have made to disk usage via this node. Once in a while this
information is synced to global file (and thus with other nodes) so that
limits enforcement at least aproximately works.
Global quota files contain all the information about usage and limits. It's
mostly handled by the generic VFS code (which implements a trie of structures
inside a quota file). We only have to provide functions to convert structures
from on-disk format to in-memory one. We also have to provide wrappers for
various quota functions starting transactions and acquiring necessary cluster
locks before the actual IO is really started.

Factor out the non-inode specifics of ocfs2_do_extend_allocation() into a more generic
function, ocfs2_do_cluster_allocation(). ocfs2_do_extend_allocation calls
ocfs2_do_cluster_allocation() now, but the latter can be used for other
btree types as well.

In the old extent tree operation, we take the hypothesis that we
are using the ocfs2_extent_list in ocfs2_dinode as the tree root.
As xattr will also use ocfs2_extent_list to store large value
for a xattr entry, we refactor the tree operation so that xattr
can use it directly.
The refactoring includes 4 steps:
1. Abstract set/get of last_eb_blk and update_clusters since they may
be stored in different location for dinode and xattr.
2. Add a new structure named ocfs2_extent_tree to indicate the
extent tree the operation will work on.
3. Remove all the use of fe_bh and di, use root_bh and root_el in
extent tree instead. So now all the fe_bh is replaced with
et->root_bh, el with root_el accordingly.
4. Make ocfs2_lock_allocators generic. Now it is limited to be only used
in file extend allocation. But the whole function is useful when we want
to store large EAs.
Note: This patch doesn't touch ocfs2_commit_truncate() since it is not used
for anything other than truncate inode data btrees.

ocfs2_num_free_extents() is used to find the number of free extent records
in an inode btree. Hence, it takes an "ocfs2_dinode" parameter. We want to
use this for extended attribute trees in the future, so genericize the
interface the take a buffer head. A future patch will allow that buffer_head
to contain any structure rooting an ocfs2 btree.

This is actually pretty easy since fs/dlm already handles the bulk of the
work. The Ocfs2 userspace cluster stack module already uses fs/dlm as the
underlying lock manager, so I only had to add the right calls.
Cluster-aware POSIX locks ("plocks") can be turned off by the same means at
UNIX locks - mount with 'noflocks', or create a local-only Ocfs2 volume.
Internally, the file system uses two sets of file_operations, depending on
whether cluster aware plocks is required. This turns out to be easier than
implementing local-only versions of ->lock.

This adds a new dlmglue lock type which is intended to back flock()
requests.
Since these locks are driven from userspace, usage rules are much more
liberal than the typical Ocfs2 internal cluster lock. As a result, we can't
make use of most dlmglue features - lock caching and lock level
optimizations in particular. Additionally, userspace is free to deadlock
itself, so we have to deal with that in the same way as the rest of the
kernel - by allowing a signal to abort a lock request.
In order to keep ocfs2_cluster_lock() complexity down, ocfs2_file_lock()
does it's own dlm coordination. We still use the same helper functions
though, so duplicated code is kept to a minimum.

By doing this, we can remove any higher level logic which has to have
knowledge of btree functionality - any callers of ocfs2_write_begin() can
now expect it to do anything necessary to prepare the inode for new data.

We re-use the RESVSP/UNRESVSP ioctls from xfs which allow the user to
allocate and deallocate regions to a file without zeroing data or changing
i_size.
Though renamed, the structure passed in from user is identical to struct
xfs_flock64. The three fields that are actually used right now are l_whence,
l_start and l_len.
This should get ocfs2 immediate compatibility with userspace software using
the pre-existing xfs ioctls.

This can now be trivially supported with re-use of our existing extend code.
ocfs2_allocate_unwritten_extents() takes a start offset and a byte length
and iterates over the inode, adding extents (marked as unwritten) until len
is reached. Existing extents are skipped over.

Update the write code to detect when the user is asking to write to an
unwritten extent. Like writing to a hole, we must zero the region between
the write and the cluster boundaries. Most of the existing cluster zeroing
logic can be re-used with some additional checks for the unwritten flag on
extent records.

Unfortunately, ocfs2 can no longer make use of generic_file_aio_write_nlock()
because allocating writes will require zeroing of pages adjacent to the I/O
for cluster sizes greater than page size.
Implement a custom file write here, which can order page locks for zeroing.
This also has the advantage that cluster locks can easily be ordered outside
of the page locks.

Introduce tree rotations into the b-tree code. This will allow ocfs2 to
support sparse files. Much of the added code is designed to be generic (in
the ocfs2 sense) so that it can later be re-used to implement large
extended attributes.
This patch only adds the rotation code and does minimal updates to callers
of the extent api.

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups
The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)
