There are no users of the EXT4_IOC_WAIT_FOR_READONLY ioctl, and it is
also broken. No one sets the set_ro_timer, no one wakes up us and our
state is set to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE not RUNNING. So remove it.

The comment describing what ext4_ext_search_right() does is incorrect.
We return 0 in *phys when *logical is the 'largest' allocated block,
not smallest.
Fix a few other typos while we're at it.

For a long time now orlov is the default block allocator in the
ext4. It performs better than the old one and no one seems to claim
otherwise so we can safely drop it and make oldalloc and orlov mount
option deprecated.
This is a part of the effort to reduce number of ext4 options hence the
test matrix.

Acl and user_xattr mount options are no longer needed since those
features are enabled by default if configured in (seee commit
ea66333694). We can not easily deprecate
mount options itself (since it is probably too early), but we can
remove it from documentation first.

In commit 79a77c5ac, we move ext4_mb_init_backend after the allocation
of s_locality_group to avoid memory leak in error path, but there are
still some other error paths in ext4_mb_init that need to do the same
work. So this patch adds all the error patch for ext4_mb_init. And all
the pointers are reset to NULL in case the caller may double free them.

Currently, there exists a race between delayed allocated writes and
the writeback when bigalloc feature is in use. The race was because we
wanted to determine what blocks in a cluster are under delayed
allocation and we were using buffer_delayed(bh) check for it. But, the
writeback codepath clears this bit without any synchronization which
resulted in a race and an ext4 warning similar to:
EXT4-fs (ram1): ext4_da_update_reserve_space: ino 13, used 1 with only 0
reserved data blocks
The race existed in two places.
(1) between ext4_find_delalloc_range() and ext4_map_blocks() when called from
writeback code path.
(2) between ext4_find_delalloc_range() and ext4_da_get_block_prep() (where
buffer_delayed(bh) is set.
To fix (1), this patch introduces a new buffer_head state bit -
BH_Da_Mapped. This bit is set under the protection of
EXT4_I(inode)->i_data_sem when we have actually mapped the delayed
allocated blocks during the writeout time. We can now reliably check
for this bit inside ext4_find_delalloc_range() to determine whether
the reservation for the blocks have already been claimed or not.
To fix (2), it was necessary to set buffer_delay(bh) under the
protection of i_data_sem. So, I extracted the very beginning of
ext4_map_blocks into a new function - ext4_da_map_blocks() - and
performed the required setting of bh_delay bit and the quota
reservation under the protection of i_data_sem. These two fixes makes
the checking of buffer_delay(bh) and buffer_da_mapped(bh) consistent,
thus removing the race.
Tested: I was able to reproduce the problem by running 'dd' and
'fsync' in parallel. Also, xfstests sometimes used to reproduce this
race. After the fix both my test and xfstests were successful and no
race (warning message) was observed.

The field bg_free_blocks_count_{lo,high} in the block group
descriptor has been repurposed to hold the number of free clusters for
bigalloc functions. So rename the functions so it makes it easier to
read and audit the block allocation and block freeing code.
Note: at this point in bigalloc development we doesn't support
online resize, so this also makes it really obvious all of the places
we need to fix up to add support for online resize.

With bigalloc changes, the i_blocks value was not correctly set (it was still
set to number of blocks being used, but in case of bigalloc, we want i_blocks
to represent the number of clusters being used). Since the quota subsystem sets
the i_blocks value, this patch fixes the quota accounting and makes sure that
the i_blocks value is set correctly.

The default group preallocation size had been previously set to 512
blocks/clusters, regardless of the block/cluster size. This is
probably too big for large cluster sizes. So adjust the default so
that it is 2 megabytes or 32 clusters, whichever is larger.

When we are truncating (as opposed unlinking) a file, we need to worry
about partial truncates of a file, especially in the light of sparse
files. The changes here make sure that arbitrary truncates of sparse
files works correctly. Yeah, it's messy.
Note that these functions will need to be revisted when the punch
ioctl is integrated --- in fact this commit will probably have merge
conflicts with the punch changes which Allison Henders and the IBM LTC
have been working on. I will need to fix this up when either patch
hits mainline.

If we need to allocate a new block in ext4_ext_map_blocks(), the
function needs to see if the cluster has already been allocated.
Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
The ext4_free_blocks() function now has two new flags that indicate
whether a partial cluster at the beginning or the end of the block
extents should be freed or not. That will be up the caller (i.e.,
truncate), who can figure out whether partial clusters at the
beginning or the end of a block range can be freed.
We also have to update the ext4_mb_free_metadata() and
release_blocks_on_commit() machinery to be cluster-based, since it is
used by ext4_free_blocks().

In most of mballoc.c, we do everything in units of clusters, since the
block allocation bitmaps and buddy bitmaps are all denominated in
clusters. The one place where we do deal with absolute block numbers
is in the code that handles the preallocation regions, since in the
case of inode-based preallocation regions, the start of the
preallocation region can't be relative to the beginning of the group.
So this adds a bit of complexity, where pa_pstart and pa_lstart are
block numbers, while pa_free, pa_len, and fe_len are denominated in
units of clusters.

Certain parts of the ext4 code base, primarily in mballoc.c, use a
block group number and offset from the beginning of the block group.
This offset is invariably used to index into the allocation bitmap, so
change the offset to be denominated in units of clusters.
