Commits 5e8830dc and 41c4d25f introduced a regression into
v3.6-rc1 for ext4 in nodealloc mode, such that mtime updates would not
take place for files modified via mmap if the page was already in the
page cache.  This would also affect ext3 file systems mounted using
the ext4 file system driver.

The problem was that ext4_page_mkwrite() had a shortcut which would
avoid calling __block_page_mkwrite() under some circumstances, and the
above two commit transferred the responsibility of calling
file_update_time() to __block_page_mkwrite --- which woudln't get
called in some circumstances.

Since __block_page_mkwrite() only has three callers,
block_page_mkwrite(), ext4_page_mkwrite, and nilfs_page_mkwrite(), the
best way to solve this is to move the responsibility for calling
file_update_time() to its caller.

This problem was found via xfstests #215 with a file system mounted
with -o nodelalloc.

punch_hole is the place where we have to wait for all existing writers
(writeback, aio, dio), but currently we simply flush pended end_io request
which is not sufficient. Other issue is that punch_hole performed w/o i_mutex
held which obviously result in dangerous data corruption due to
write-after-free.

This patch performs following changes:
- Guard punch_hole with i_mutex
- Recheck inode flags under i_mutex
- Block all new dio readers in order to prevent information leak caused by
  read-after-free pattern.
- punch_hole now wait for all writers in flight
  NOTE: XXX write-after-free race is still possible because new dirty pages
  may appear due to mmap(), and currently there is no easy way to stop
  writeback while punch_hole is in progress.

Current unwritten extent conversion state-machine is very fuzzy.
- For unknown reason it performs conversion under i_mutex. What for?
  My diagnosis:
  We already protect extent tree with i_data_sem, truncate and punch_hole
  should wait for DIO, so the only data we have to protect is end_io->flags
  modification, but only flush_completed_IO and end_io_work modified this
  flags and we can serialize them via i_completed_io_lock.

  Currently all these games with mutex_trylock result in the following deadlock
   truncate:                          kworker:
    ext4_setattr                       ext4_end_io_work
    mutex_lock(i_mutex)
    inode_dio_wait(inode)  ->BLOCK
                             DEADLOCK<- mutex_trylock()
                                        inode_dio_done()

This patch makes state machine simple and clean:

(1) xxx_end_io schedule final extent conversion simply by calling
    ext4_add_complete_io(), which append it to ei->i_completed_io_list
    NOTE1: because of (2A) work should be queued only if
    ->i_completed_io_list was empty, otherwise the work is scheduled already.

(2) ext4_flush_completed_IO is responsible for handling all pending
    end_io from ei->i_completed_io_list
    Flushing sequence consists of following stages:
    A) LOCKED: Atomically drain completed_io_list to local_list
    B) Perform extents conversion
    C) LOCKED: move converted io's to to_free list for final deletion
       	     This logic depends on context which we was called from.
    D) Final end_io context destruction
    NOTE1: i_mutex is no longer required because end_io->flags modification
    is protected by ei->ext4_complete_io_lock

Full list of changes:
- Move all completion end_io related routines to page-io.c in order to improve
  logic locality
- Move open coded logic from various xx_end_xx routines to ext4_add_complete_io()
- remove EXT4_IO_END_FSYNC
- Improve SMP scalability by removing useless i_mutex which does not
  protect io->flags anymore.
- Reduce lock contention on i_completed_io_lock by optimizing list walk.
- Rename ext4_end_io_nolock to end4_end_io and make it static
- Check flush completion status to ext4_ext_punch_hole(). Because it is
  not good idea to punch blocks from corrupted inode.

Changes since V3 (in request to Jan's comments):
  Fall back to active flush_completed_IO() approach in order to prevent
  performance issues with nolocked DIO reads.

ext4_set_io_unwritten_flag() will increment i_unwritten counter, so
once we mark end_io with EXT4_END_IO_UNWRITTEN we have to revert it back
on error path.

 - add missed error checks to prevent counter leakage
 - ext4_end_io_nolock() will clear EXT4_END_IO_UNWRITTEN flag to signal
   that conversion finished.
 - add BUG_ON to ext4_free_end_io() to prevent similar leakage in future.

When ext4_bread() returns NULL and err is set to zero, this means
there is no phyical block mapped to the specified logical block
number.  (Previous to commit 90b0a973, err was uninitialized in this
case, which caused other problems.)

The directory handling routines use ext4_bread() in many places, the
fact that ext4_bread() now returns NULL with err set to zero could
cause problems since a number of these functions will simply return
the value of err if the result of ext4_bread() was the NULL pointer,
causing the caller of the function to think that the function was
successful.

Since directories should never contain holes, this case can only
happen if the file system is corrupted.  This commit audits all of the
callers of ext4_bread(), and makes sure they do the right thing if a
hole in a directory is found by ext4_bread().

Some ext4_bread() callers did not need any changes either because they
already had its own hole detector paths.

ext4 users of data=journal mode with blocksize < pagesize were
occasionally hitting assertion failure in
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() checking whether the transaction has
at least as many credits reserved as buffers attached.  The core of the
problem is that when a file gets truncated, buffers that still need
checkpointing or that are attached to the committing transaction are
left with buffer_mapped set. When this happens to buffers beyond i_size
attached to a page stradding i_size, subsequent write extending the file
will see these buffers and as they are mapped (but underlying blocks
were freed) things go awry from here.

The assertion failure just coincidentally (and in this case luckily as
we would start corrupting filesystem) triggers due to journal_head not
being properly cleaned up as well.

We fix the problem by unmapping buffers if possible (in lots of cases we
just need a buffer attached to a transaction as a place holder but it
must not be written out anyway).  And in one case, we just have to bite
the bullet and wait for transaction commit to finish.

3) Locked pages goes uptodate via following sequence:

In ext4_nonda_switch(), if the file system is getting full we used to
call writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle().  The problem is that we can be
holding i_mutex already, and this causes a potential deadlock when
writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() when it tries to take s_umount.  (See
lockdep output below).

As it turns out we don't need need to hold s_umount; the fact that we
are in the middle of the write(2) system call will keep the superblock
pinned.  Unfortunately writeback_inodes_sb() checks to make sure
s_umount is taken, and the VFS uses a different mechanism for making
sure the file system doesn't get unmounted out from under us.  The
simplest way of dealing with this is to just simply grab s_umount
using a trylock, and skip kicking the writeback flusher thread in the
very unlikely case that we can't take a read lock on s_umount without
blocking.

Also, we now check the cirteria for kicking the writeback thread
before we decide to whether to fall back to non-delayed writeback, so
if there are any outstanding delayed allocation writes, we try to get
them resolved as soon as possible.

Do not iterate over data blocks scanning for bh's to forget as they're
never exist. This improves time taken by unlink / truncate syscall.
Tested by continuously truncating file that is being written by dd.
Another test is rm -rf of linux tree while tar unpacks it. With
ordered data mode condition unlikely(!tbh) was always met in
ext4_free_blocks. With journal data mode tbh was found only few times,
so optimisation is also possible.

Commit 1c6bd717 introduced a regression where an online resize
operation which did not change the number of block groups would fail,
i.e:

	mke2fs -t /dev/vdc 60000
	mount /dev/vdc
	resize2fs /dev/vdc 60001

This was due to a bug in the logic regarding when to try converting
the filesystem to use meta_bg.

Also fix up a number of other minor issues with the online resizing
code: (a) Fix a sparse warning; (b) only check to make sure the device
is large enough once, instead of multiple times through the resize
loop.

Instead of checking whether the handle is valid, we check if journal
is enabled. This avoids taking the s_orphan_lock mutex in all cases
when there is no journal in use, including the error paths where
ext4_orphan_del() is called with a handle set to NULL.

This is a revert of commit b56ff9d3, which removed the call to
ext4_issue_discard() to fix a BUG reported because
ext4_issue_discard() was being called from inside a block group
spinlock.  As it turns out this bug had already been fixed by Lukas
Czerner in commit 53fdcf99 by the simple expedient of moving when
we call ext4_issue_discard() outside the spinlock.

So it should be safe to re-enable this functionality, which I tested
by putting an BUG_ON(in_atomic) just after the restored callsite to
ext4_issue_discard().

htree_dirblock_to_tree() declares a non-initialized 'err' variable,
which is passed as a reference to another functions expecting them to
set this variable with their error codes.

It's passed to ext4_bread(), which then passes it to ext4_getblk(). If
ext4_map_blocks() returns 0 due to a lookup failure, leaving the
ext4_getblk() buffer_head uninitialized, it will make ext4_getblk()
return to ext4_bread() without initialize the 'err' variable, and
ext4_bread() will return to htree_dirblock_to_tree() with this variable
still uninitialized.  htree_dirblock_to_tree() will pass this variable
with garbage back to ext4_htree_fill_tree(), which expects a number of
directory entries added to the rb-tree. which, in case, might return a
fake non-zero value due the garbage left in the 'err' variable, leading
the kernel to an Oops in ext4_dx_readdir(), once this is expecting a
filled rb-tree node, when in turn it will have a NULL-ed one, causing an
invalid page request when trying to get a fname struct from this NULL-ed
rb-tree node in this line:

fname = rb_entry(info->curr_node, struct fname, rb_hash);

The patch itself initializes the err variable in
htree_dirblock_to_tree() to avoid usage mistakes by the called
functions, and also fix ext4_getblk() to return a initialized 'err'
variable when ext4_map_blocks() fails a lookup.
