We re-use the RESVSP/UNRESVSP ioctls from xfs which allow the user to
allocate and deallocate regions to a file without zeroing data or changing
i_size.
Though renamed, the structure passed in from user is identical to struct
xfs_flock64. The three fields that are actually used right now are l_whence,
l_start and l_len.
This should get ocfs2 immediate compatibility with userspace software using
the pre-existing xfs ioctls.

Provide an internal interface for the removal of arbitrary file regions.
ocfs2_remove_inode_range() takes a byte range within a file and will remove
existing extents within that range. Partial clusters will be zeroed so that
any read from within the region will return zeros.

The partial cluster zeroing code used during truncate usually assumes that
the rightmost byte in the range to be zeroed lies on a cluster boundary.
This makes sense for truncate, but punching holes might require zeroing on
non-aligned rightmost boundaries.

This can now be trivially supported with re-use of our existing extend code.
ocfs2_allocate_unwritten_extents() takes a start offset and a byte length
and iterates over the inode, adding extents (marked as unwritten) until len
is reached. Existing extents are skipped over.

Update the write code to detect when the user is asking to write to an
unwritten extent. Like writing to a hole, we must zero the region between
the write and the cluster boundaries. Most of the existing cluster zeroing
logic can be re-used with some additional checks for the unwritten flag on
extent records.

Use some ideas from the new-aops patch series and turn
ocfs2_buffered_write_cluster() into a 2 stage operation with the caller
copying data in between. The code now understands multiple cluster writes as
a result of having to deal with a full page write for greater than 4k pages.
This sets us up to easily call into the write path during ->page_mkwrite().

Use of the alloc sem during truncate was too narrow - we want to protect
the i_size change and page truncation against mmap now.

The name 'pin' was badly chosen, it doesn't pin a pipe buffer
in the most commonly used sense in the kernel. So change the
name to 'confirm', after debating this issue with Hugh
Dickins a bit.
A good return from ->confirm() means that the buffer is really
there, and that the contents are good.

We need to move even more stuff into the header so that folks can use
the splice_to_pipe() implementation instead of open-coding a lot of
pipe knowledge (see relay implementation), so move to our own header
file finally.

They can use generic_file_splice_read() instead. Since sys_sendfile() now
prefers that, there should be no change in behaviour.

A bit of a cheat, it actually just copies the data to userspace. But
this makes the interface nice and symmetric and enables people to build
on splice, with room for future improvement in performance.

For direct splicing (or private splicing), the output may not be a file.
So abstract out the handling into a specified actor function and put
the data in the splice_desc structure earlier, so we can build on top
of that.
This is the first step in better splice handling for drivers, and also
for implementing vmsplice _to_ user memory.

This patch makes the following needlessly global functions static:

Cluster locking might have been redone because a direct write won't
complete, so this needs to be reflected in the iocb.

Older file systems which didn't support holes did a dumb calculation of
i_blocks based on i_size. This is no longer accurate, so fix things up to
take actual allocation into account.

Return an optional extent flags field from our lookup functions and wire up
callers to treat unwritten regions as holes for the purpose of returning
zeros to the user.

Due to the size of our group bitmaps, we'll never have a leaf node extent
record with more than 16 bits worth of clusters. Split e_clusters up so that
leaf nodes can get a flags field where we can mark unwritten extents.
Interior nodes whose length references all the child nodes beneath it can't
split their e_clusters field, so we use a union to preserve sizing there.

We need to fill holes during a splice write. Provide our own splice write
actor which can call ocfs2_file_buffered_write() with a splice-specific
callback.

Since we don't zero on extend anymore, truncate needs to be fixed up to zero
the part of a file between i_size and and end of it's cluster. Otherwise a
subsequent extend could expose bad data.
This introduced a new helper, which can be used in ocfs2_write().
Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
Unfortunately, ocfs2 can no longer make use of generic_file_aio_write_nlock()
because allocating writes will require zeroing of pages adjacent to the I/O
for cluster sizes greater than page size.
Implement a custom file write here, which can order page locks for zeroing.
This also has the advantage that cluster locks can easily be ordered outside
of the page locks.
