This adds common routines for buffer/page operations used in B-tree node caches, meta data files, or segment constructor (log writer). NILFS uses copy functions for buffers and pages due to the following reasons: 1) Relocation required for COW Since NILFS changes address of on-disk blocks, moving buffers in page cache is needed for the buffers which are not addressed by a file offset. If buffer size is smaller than page size, this involves partial copy of pages. 2) Freezing mmapped pages NILFS calculates checksums for each log to ensure its validity. If page data changes after the checksum calculation, this validity check will not work correctly. To avoid this failure for mmaped pages, NILFS freezes their data by copying. 3) Copy-on-write for DAT pages NILFS makes clones of DAT page caches in a copy-on-write manner during GC processes, and this ensures atomicity and consistency of the DAT in the transient state. In addition, NILFS uses two obsolete functions, nilfs_mark_buffer_dirty() and nilfs_clear_page_dirty() respectively. * nilfs_mark_buffer_dirty() was required to avoid NULL pointer dereference faults: Since the page cache of B-tree node pages or data page cache of pseudo inodes does not have a valid mapping->host, calling mark_buffer_dirty() for their buffers causes the fault; it calls __mark_inode_dirty(NULL) through __set_page_dirty(). * nilfs_clear_page_dirty() was needed in the two cases: 1) For B-tree node pages and data pages of the dat/gcdat, NILFS2 clears page dirty flags when it copies back pages from the cloned cache (gcdat->{i_mapping,i_btnode_cache}) to its original cache (dat->{i_mapping,i_btnode_cache}). 2) Some B-tree operations like insertion or deletion may dispose buffers in dirty state, and this needs to cancel the dirty state of their pages. clear_page_dirty_for_io() caused faults because it does not clear the dirty tag on the page cache.

This adds declarations and functions of NILFS2 B-tree. Two variants are integrated in the NILFS2 B-tree. The B-tree for the most files points to the child nodes or data blocks with virtual block addresses, whereas the B-tree of the DAT uses actual block addresses.

This adds structures and operations for the block mapping (bmap for short). NILFS2 uses direct mappings for short files or B-tree based mappings for longer files. Every on-disk data block is held with inodes and managed through this block mapping. The nilfs_bmap structure and a set of functions here provide this capability to the NILFS2 inode.

This adds the following common structures of the NILFS2 file system. * nilfs_inode_info structure: gives on-memory inode. * nilfs_sb_info structure: keeps per-mount state and a special inode for the ifile. This structure is attached to the super_block structure. * the_nilfs structure: keeps shared state and locks among a read/write mount and snapshot mounts. This keeps special inodes for the sufile, cpfile, dat, and another dat inode used during GC (gcdat). This also has a hash table of dummy inodes to cache disk blocks during GC (gcinodes). * nilfs_transaction_info structure: keeps per task state while nilfs is writing logs or doing indivisible inode or namespace operations. This structure is used to identify context during log making and store nest level of the lock which ensures atomicity of file system operations.
