This adds an optional "object size" argument to nilfs_mdt_new_common()
function; the argument specifies the size of private object attached
to a newly allocated metadata file inode.

This will afford space to keep local variables for meta data files.

will get rid of nilfs_get_writer() and nilfs_put_writer() pair used to
retain a writable FS-instance for a period.

The pair functions were making up some kind of recursive lock with a
mutex, but they became overkill since the commit
201913ed.  Furthermore, they caused
the following lockdep warning because the mutex can be released by a
task which didn't lock it:

This patch uses a reader/writer semaphore instead of the own lock and

This will remove every bd_mount_sem use in nilfs.

The intended exclusion control was replaced by the previous patch
("nilfs2: correct exclusion control in nilfs_remount function") for
nilfs_remount(), and this patch will replace remains with a new mutex
that this inserts in nilfs object.

nilfs_remount() changes mount state of a superblock instance.  Even
though nilfs accesses other superblock instances during mount or
remount, the mount state was not properly protected in
nilfs_remount().

Moreover, nilfs_remount() has a lock order reversal problem;
nilfs_get_sb() holds:

  1. bdev->bd_mount_sem
  2. sb->s_umount  (sget acquires)

and nilfs_remount() holds:

  1. sb->s_umount  (locked by the caller in vfs)
  2. bdev->bd_mount_sem

To avoid these problems, this patch divides a semaphore protecting
super block instances from nilfs->ns_sem, and applies it to the mount
state protection in nilfs_remount().

With this change, bd_mount_sem use is removed from nilfs_remount() and
the lock order reversal will be resolved.  And the new rw-semaphore,
nilfs->ns_super_sem will properly protect the mount state except the
modification from nilfs_error function.

This simplifies the test function passed on the remaining sget()
callsite in nilfs.

Instead of checking mount type (i.e. ro-mount/rw-mount/snapshot mount)
in the test function passed to sget(), this patch first looks up the
nilfs_sb_info struct which the given mount type matches, and then
acquires the super block instance holding the nilfs_sb_info.

This will change the way to obtain nilfs object in nilfs_get_sb()
function.

Previously, a preliminary sget() call was performed, and the nilfs
object was acquired from a super block instance found by the sget()
call.

This patch, instead, instroduces a new dedicated function
find_or_create_nilfs(); as the name implies, the function finds an
existent nilfs object from a global list or creates a new one if no
object is found on the device.

This will eliminate obsolete list operations of nilfs_segment_entry
structure which has been used to handle mutiple segment numbers.

The patch ("nilfs2: remove list of freeing segments") removed use of
the structure from the segment constructor code, and this patch
simplifies the remaining code by integrating it into recovery.c.

Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case.  The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes.  Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.

This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

The former versions didn't have extra super blocks.  This improves the
weak point by introducing another super block at unused region in tail of
the partition.

This doesn't break disk format compatibility; older versions just ingore
the secondary super block, and new versions just recover it if it doesn't
exist.  The partition created by an old mkfs may not have unused region,
but in that case, the secondary super block will not be added.

This doesn't make more redundant copies of the super block; it is a future
work.

This adds a new argument to the nilfs_sustat structure.

The extended field allows to delete volatile active state of segments,
which was needed to protect freshly-created segments from garbage
collection but has confused code dealing with segments.  This
extension alleviates the mess and gives room for further
simplifications.

The volatile active flag is not persistent, so it's eliminable on this
occasion without affecting compatibility other than the ioctl change.

This removes NILFS_IOCTL_TIMEDWAIT command from ioctl interface along
with the related flags and wait queue.

The command is terrible because it just sleeps in the ioctl.  I prefer
to avoid this by devising means of event polling in userland program.
By reconsidering the userland GC daemon, I found this is possible
without changing behaviour of the daemon and sacrificing efficiency.

This adds functions on the_nilfs object, which keeps shared resources and
states among a read/write mount and snapshots mounts going individually.

the_nilfs is allocated per block device; it is created when user first
mount a snapshot or a read/write mount on the device, then it is reused
for successive mounts.  It will be freed when all mount instances on the
device are detached.
