In several places we directly convert from the XFS inode
to the linux (VFS) inode by a simple deference of ip->i_vnode.
We should not do this - a helper function should be used to
extract the VFS inode from the XFS inode.

Introduce the function VFS_I() to extract the VFS inode
from the XFS inode. The name was chosen to match XFS_I() which
is used to extract the XFS inode from the VFS inode.

Cleanup the unneeded intermediate vnode step in the flushing helpers and
go directly from the xfs_inode to the struct address_space.

All flags previously handled at the vnode level are not in the xfs_inode
where we already have a flags mechanisms and free bits for flags
previously in the vnode.

All vnode ops now take struct xfs_inode pointers and the behaviour related
glue is split out into methods of it's own. This required fixing
xfs_create/mkdir/symlink to not mess with the inode pointer but rather use
a separate boolean for error handling. Thanks to Dave Chinner for that
fix.

This patch handles error return values in fs_flush_pages and
fs_flushinval_pages. It changes the prototype of fs_flushinval_pages so we
can propogate the errors and handle them at higher layers. I also modified
xfs_itruncate_start so that it could propogate the error further.

truncate down followed by delayed allocation (buffered writes) - worst
case scenario for the notorious NULL files problem.  This reduces the
window where we are exposed to that problem significantly.

This patch add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait) and use it.

See mm/filemap.c:

And changes the filemap_write_and_wait() and filemap_write_and_wait_range().

Current filemap_write_and_wait() doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite()
returns error.  However, even if filemap_fdatawrite() returned an
error, it may have submitted the partially data pages to the device.
(e.g. in the case of -ENOSPC)

<quotation>
Andrew Morton writes,

If filemap_fdatawrite() returns an error, this might be due to some
I/O problem: dead disk, unplugged cable, etc.  Given the generally
crappy quality of the kernel's handling of such exceptions, there's a
good chance that the filemap_fdatawait() will get stuck in D state
forever.
</quotation>

So, this patch doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite() returns the -EIO.

Trond, could you please review the nfs part?  Especially I'm not sure,
nfs must use the "filemap_fdatawrite(inode->i_mapping) == 0", or not.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
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.

Let it rip!
