Nilfs object holds a back pointer to a writable super block instance
in nilfs->ns_writer, and this became eliminable since sb is now made
per device and all inodes have a valid pointer to it.

This deletes the ns_writer pointer and a reader/writer semaphore
protecting it.

After applied the patch that unified sb instances, root dentry of
snapshots can be left in dcache even after their trees are unmounted.

The orphan root dentry/inode keeps a root object, and this causes
false positive of nilfs_checkpoint_is_mounted function.

This resolves the issue by having nilfs_checkpoint_is_mounted test
whether the root dentry is busy or not.

This applies prepared rollback function and redirect function of
metadata file to DAT file, and eliminates GCDAT inode.
Signed-off-by: NRyusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

During garbage collection (GC), DAT file, which converts virtual block
number to real block number, may return disk block number that is not
yet written to the device.

To avoid access to unwritten blocks, the current implementation stores
changes to the caches of GCDAT during GC and atomically commit the
changes into the DAT file after they are written to the device.

This patch, instead, adds a function that makes a copy of specified
buffer and stores it in nilfs_shadow_map, and a function to get the
backup copy as needed (nilfs_mdt_freeze_buffer and
nilfs_mdt_get_frozen_buffer respectively).

Before DAT changes block number in an entry block, it makes a copy and
redirect access to the buffer so that address conversion function
(i.e. nilfs_dat_translate) refers to the old address saved in the
copy.

This patch gives requisites for such redirection.

This adds optional function to metadata files which makes a copy of
bmap, page caches, and b-tree node cache, and rolls back to the copy
as needed.

This enhancement is intended to displace gcdat inode that provides a
similar function in a different way.

In this patch, nilfs_shadow_map structure is added to store a copy of
the foregoing states.  nilfs_mdt_setup_shadow_map relates this
structure to a metadata file.  And, nilfs_mdt_save_to_shadow_map() and
nilfs_mdt_restore_from_shadow_map() provides save and restore
functions respectively.  Finally, nilfs_mdt_clear_shadow_map() clears
states of nilfs_shadow_map.

The copy of b-tree node cache and page cache is made by duplicating
only dirty pages into corresponding caches in nilfs_shadow_map.  Their
restoration is done by clearing dirty pages from original caches and
by copying dirty pages back from nilfs_shadow_map.

This stops allocating multiple super block instances for a device.

All snapshots and a current mode mount (i.e. latest tree) will be
controlled with nilfs_root objects that are kept within an sb
instance.

nilfs_get_sb() is rewritten so that it always has a root object for
the latest tree and snapshots make additional root objects.

The root dentry of the latest tree is binded to sb->s_root even if it
isn't attached on a directory.  Root dentries of snapshots or the
latest tree are binded to mnt->mnt_root on which they are mounted.

With this patch, nilfs_find_sbinfo() function, nilfs->ns_supers list,
and nilfs->ns_current back pointer, are deleted.  In addition,
init_nilfs() and load_nilfs() are simplified since they will be called
once for a device, not repeatedly called for mount points.

Snapshots of nilfs are read-only.

After super block instances (sb) will be unified, nilfs will need to
check write access by a way other than implicit test with
IS_RDONLY(inode).  This is because IS_RDONLY() refers to MS_RDONLY bit
of inode->i_sb->s_flags and it will become inaccurate after the
unification of sb.

To prepare for the issue, this uses i_op->permission to deny write
access to inodes in snapshots.

The previous export operations cannot handle multiple versions of

This puts a pointer to nilfs_root object in the private part of
on-memory inode, and makes nilfs_iget function pick up the inode with
the same root object.

Non-root inodes inherit its nilfs_root object from parent inode.  That
of the root inode is allocated through nilfs_attach_checkpoint()
function.
Signed-off-by: NRyusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

To hold multiple versions of a filesystem in one sb instance, a new
on-memory structure is necessary to handle one or more checkpoints.

This adds a red-black tree of checkpoints to nilfs object, and adds
lookup and create functions for them.

Each checkpoint is represented by "nilfs_root" structure, and this
structure has rb_node to configure the rb-tree.

The nilfs_root object is identified with a checkpoint number.  For
each snapshot, a nilfs_root object is allocated and the checkpoint
number of snapshot is assigned to it.  For a regular mount
(i.e. current mode mount), NILFS_CPTREE_CURRENT_CNO constant is
assigned to the corresponding nilfs_root object.

Each nilfs_root object has an ifile inode and some counters.  These
items will displace those of nilfs_sb_info structure in successive
patches.

On-memory inode structures of nilfs have a member "i_cno" which stores
a checkpoint number related to the inode.  For gc-inodes, this field
indicates version of data each gc-inode caches for GC.  Log writer
temporarily uses "i_cno" to transfer the latest checkpoint number.

This stops the latter use and lets only gc-inodes use it.

The purpose of this patch is to allow the successive change use
"i_cno" for inode lookup.

Compatibility of nilfs partitions is now managed with three feature
sets.  This changes old compatibility check with revision number so
that it can accept future revisions.

don't have to do it soon, but it would be a possible option whenever
