"The first vfs pile, with deep apologies for being very late in this

Assorted cleanups and fixes, plus a large preparatory part of iov_iter
work. There's a lot more of that, but it'll probably go into the next
merge window - it *does* shape up nicely, removes a lot of
boilerplate, gets rid of locking inconsistencie between aio_write and
splice_write and I hope to get Kent's direct-io rewrite merged into
the same queue, but some of the stuff after this point is having
(mostly trivial) conflicts with the things already merged into
mainline and with some I want more testing.
This one passes LTP and xfstests without regressions, in addition to
usual beating. BTW, readahead02 in ltp syscalls testsuite has started
giving failures since "mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for
memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages" - might be a false

Pull renameat2 system call from Miklos Szeredi:
"This adds a new syscall, renameat2(), which is the same as renameat()
but with a flags argument.
The purpose of extending rename is to add cross-rename, a symmetric
variant of rename, which exchanges the two files. This allows
interesting things, which were not possible before, for example
atomically replacing a directory tree with a symlink, etc... This
also allows overlayfs and friends to operate on whiteouts atomically.
Andy Lutomirski also suggested a "noreplace" flag, which disables the
overwriting behavior of rename.
These two flags, RENAME_EXCHANGE and RENAME_NOREPLACE are only
implemented for ext4 as an example and for testing"

Xfstests generic/311 and shared/298 fail when run on a bigalloc file
system. Kernel error messages produced during the tests report that
blocks to be freed are already on the to-be-freed list. When e2fsck
is run at the end of the tests, it typically reports bad i_blocks and
bad free blocks counts.
The bug that causes these failures is located in ext4_ext_rm_leaf().
Code at the end of the function frees a partial cluster if it's not
shared with an extent remaining in the leaf. However, if all the
extents in the leaf have been removed, the code dereferences an
invalid extent pointer (off the front of the leaf) when the check for
sharing is made. This generally has the effect of unconditionally
freeing the partial cluster, which leads to the observed failures
when the partial cluster is shared with the last extent in the next
leaf.
Fix this by attempting to free the cluster only if extents remain in
the leaf. Any remaining partial cluster will be freed if possible
when the next leaf is processed or when leaf removal is complete.

Cross rename (exchange source and dest) will need to call some of these

calls them for one or the other. This also makes the code easier to

If this flag is specified and the target of the rename exists then the
rename syscall fails with EEXIST.
The VFS does the existence checking, so it is trivial to enable for most
local filesystems. This patch only enables it in ext4.
For network filesystems the VFS check is not enough as there may be a race
between a remote create and the rename, so these filesystems need to handle
this flag in their ->rename() implementations to ensure atomicity.
Andy writes about why this is useful:
"The trivial answer: to eliminate the race condition from 'mv -i'.
Another answer: there's a common pattern to atomically create a file
with contents: open a temporary file, write to it, optionally fsync
it, close it, then link(2) it to the final name, then unlink the
temporary file.
The reason to use link(2) is because it won't silently clobber the destination.
This is annoying:
- It requires an extra system call that shouldn't be necessary.
- It doesn't work on (IMO sensible) filesystems that don't support
hard links (e.g. vfat).
- It's not atomic -- there's an intermediate state where both files exist.
- It's ugly.
The new rename flag will make this totally sensible.
To be fair, on new enough kernels, you can also use O_TMPFILE and
linkat to achieve the same thing even more cleanly."

Currently in ext4_fallocate() and ext4_zero_range() we're testing ret
variable along with new_size. However in ext4_fallocate() we just tested
ret before and in ext4_zero_range() if will always be zero when we get
there so there is no need to test it in both cases.

Set a in-memory superblock flag to indicate whether the file system is
designed to support the Hurd.
Also, add a sanity check to make sure the 64-bit feature is not set

Hurd-specific field.

The Hurd file system uses uses the inode field which is now used for
i_version for its translator block. This means that ext2 file systems
that are formatted for GNU Hurd can't be used to support NFSv4. Given
that Hurd file systems don't support extents, and a huge number of
modern file system features, this is no great loss.
If we don't do this, the attempt to update the i_version field will
stomp over the translator block field, which will cause file system
corruption for Hurd file systems. This can be replicated via:
mke2fs -t ext2 -o hurd /dev/vdc
mount -t ext4 /dev/vdc /vdc
touch /vdc/bug0000
umount /dev/vdc
e2fsck -f /dev/vdc

Introduce new FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE flag for fallocate. This has the same
functionality as xfs ioctl XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE.
It can be used to convert a range of file to zeros preferably without
issuing data IO. Blocks should be preallocated for the regions that span
holes in the file, and the entire range is preferable converted to
unwritten extents
This can be also used to preallocate blocks past EOF in the same way as
with fallocate. Flag FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE which should cause the inode
size to remain the same.
Also add appropriate tracepoints.

Currently in ext4_fallocate we would update inode size, c_time and sync
the file with every partial allocation which is entirely unnecessary. It
is true that if the crash happens in the middle of truncate we might end
up with unchanged i size, or c_time which I do not think is really a
problem - it does not mean file system corruption in any way. Note that
xfs is doing things the same way e.g. update all of the mentioned after
the allocation is done.
This commit moves all the updates after the allocation is done. In
addition we also need to change m_time as not only inode has been change
bot also data regions might have changed (unwritten extents). However
m_time will be only updated when i_size changed.
Also we do not need to be paranoid about changing the c_time only if the
actual allocation have happened, we can change it even if we try to
allocate only to find out that there are already block allocated. It's
not really a big deal and it will save us some additional complexity.
Also use ext4_debug, instead of ext4_warning in #ifdef EXT4FS_DEBUG
section.

Commit 9cb00419fa, which enables hole punching for bigalloc file
systems, exposed a bug introduced by commit 6ae06ff51e in an earlier
release. When run on a bigalloc file system, xfstests generic/013, 068,
075, 083, 091, 100, 112, 127, 263, 269, and 270 fail with e2fsck errors
or cause kernel error messages indicating that previously freed blocks
are being freed again.
The latter commit optimizes the selection of the starting extent in
ext4_ext_rm_leaf() when hole punching by beginning with the extent
supplied in the path argument rather than with the last extent in the
leaf node (as is still done when truncating). However, the code in
rm_leaf that initially sets partial_cluster to track cluster sharing on
extent boundaries is only guaranteed to run if rm_leaf starts with the
last node in the leaf. Consequently, partial_cluster is not correctly
initialized when hole punching, and a cluster on the boundary of a
punched region that should be retained may instead be deallocated.
