When we close a file, we remove preallocated blocks from it. But this

So far we preallocated blocks also for directories but that brings a
problem, when to get rid of preallocated blocks we don't need. So far
we removed them in udf_clear_inode() which has a disadvantage that
1) blocks are unavailable long after writing to a directory finished
   and thus one can get out of space unnecessarily early
2) releasing blocks from udf_clear_inode is problematic because VFS
   does not expect us to redirty inode there and it also slows down
   memory reclaim.

So preallocate blocks only for regular files where we can drop preallocation
in udf_release_file.

Currenly vfs_fsync(_range) first calls filemap_fdatawrite to write out
the data, the calls into ->fsync to write out the metadata and then finally
calls filemap_fdatawait to wait for the data I/O to complete.  What sounds
like a clever micro-optimization actually is nast trap for many filesystems.

For many modern filesystems i_size or other inode information is only
updated on I/O completion and we need to wait for I/O to finish before
we can write out the metadata.  For old fashionen filesystems that
instanciate blocks during the actual write and also update the metadata
at that point it opens up a large window were we could expose uninitialized
blocks after a crash.  While a few filesystems that need it already wait
for the I/O to finish inside their ->fsync methods it is rather suboptimal
as it is done under the i_mutex and also always for the whole file instead
of just a part as we could do for O_SYNC handling.

Here is a small audit of all fsync instances in the tree:

 - spufs_mfc_fsync:
 - ps3flash_fsync:
 - vol_cdev_fsync:
 - printer_fsync:
 - fb_deferred_io_fsync:
 - bad_file_fsync:
 - simple_sync_file:

	don't care - filesystems/drivers do't use the page cache or are
	purely in-memory.

 - simple_fsync:
 - file_fsync:
 - affs_file_fsync:
 - fat_file_fsync:
 - jfs_fsync:
 - ubifs_fsync:
 - reiserfs_dir_fsync:
 - reiserfs_sync_file:

	never touch pagecache themselves.  We need to wait before if we do
	not want to expose stale data after an allocation.

 - afs_fsync:
 - fuse_fsync_common:

	do the waiting writeback itself in awkward ways, would benefit from
	proper semantics

 - block_fsync:

	Does a filemap_write_and_wait on the block device inode.  Because we
	now have f_mapping that is the same inode we call it on in vfs_fsync.
	So just removing it and letting the VFS do the work in one go would
	be an improvement.

 - btrfs_sync_file:
 - cifs_fsync:
 - xfs_file_fsync:

	need the wait first and currently do it themselves. would benefit from
	doing it outside i_mutex.

 - coda_fsync:
 - ecryptfs_fsync:
 - exofs_file_fsync:
 - shm_fsync:

	only passes the fsync through to the lower layer

 - ext3_sync_file:

	doesn't seem to care, comments are confusing.

 - ext4_sync_file:

	would need the wait to work correctly for delalloc mode with late
	i_size updates.  Otherwise the ext3 comment applies.

	currently implemens it's own writeback and wait in an odd way,
	could benefit from doing it properly.

 - gfs2_fsync:

	not needed for journaled data mode, but probably harmless there.
	Currently writes back data asynchronously itself.  Needs some
	major audit.

 - hostfs_fsync:

	just calls fsync/datasync on the host FD.  Without the wait before
	data might not even be inflight yet if we're unlucky.

 - hpfs_file_fsync:
 - ncp_fsync:

	no-ops.  Dangerous before and after.

 - jffs2_fsync:

	just calls jffs2_flush_wbuf_gc, not sure how this relates to data.

 - nfs_fsync_dir:

	just increments stats, claims all directory operations are synchronous

 - nfs_file_fsync:

	only writes out data???  Looks very odd.

 - nilfs_sync_file:

	looks like it expects all data done, but not sure from the code

 - ntfs_dir_fsync:
 - ntfs_file_fsync:

	appear to do their own data writeback.  Very convoluted code.

 - ocfs2_sync_file:

	does it's own data writeback, but no wait.  probably needs the wait.

 - smb_fsync:

	according to a comment expects all pages written already, probably needs
	the wait before.

This patch only changes vfs_fsync_range, removal of the wait in the methods
that have it is left to the filesystem maintainers.  Note that most
filesystems really do need an audit for their fsync methods given the
gems found in this very brief audit.

Actually, nilfs is NOT a filesystem came from other operating systems,

The nilfs_bmap_lookup() is now a wrapper function of
nilfs_bmap_lookup_at_level().

This moves the nilfs_bmap_lookup() to a header file converting it to
an inline function and gives an opportunity for optimization.
Signed-off-by: NRyusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

The current btree code is written so that btree functions call dat
operations via wrapper functions in bmap.c when they allocate, free,
or modify virtual block addresses.

This abstraction requires additional function calls and causes
frequent call of nilfs_bmap_get_dat() function since it is used in the
every wrapper function.

This removes the wrapper functions and makes them available from
btree.c and direct.c, which will increase the opportunity of
compiler optimization.
