important that metadata I/O requests are marked as such to avoid
priority inversions caused by I/O bandwidth throttling.

Zach reported a problem that if inline data is enabled, we don't
tell the difference between the offset of '.' and '..'. And a
getdents will fail if the user only want to get '.'. And what's
worse, we may meet with duplicate dir entries as the offset
for inline dir and non-inline one is quite different.
This patch just try to resolve this problem if dir_index
is disabled. In this case, f_pos is the real offset with
the dir block, so for inline dir, we just pretend as if
we are a dir block and returns the offset like a norml
dir block does.

Zach reported a problem that if inline data is enabled, we don't
tell the difference between the offset of '.' and '..'. And a
getdents will fail if the user only want to get '.' and what's worse,
if there is a conversion happens when the user calls getdents
many times, he/she may get the same entry twice.
In theory, a dir block would also fail if it is converted to a
hashed-index based dir since f_pos will become a hash value, not the
real one, but it doesn't happen. And a deep investigation shows that
we uses a hash based solution even for a normal dir if the dir_index
feature is enabled.
So this patch just adds a new htree_inlinedir_to_tree for inline dir,
and if we find that the hash index is supported, we will do like what
we do for a dir block.

Inode allocation transaction is pretty heavy (246 credits with quotas
and extents before previous patch, still around 200 after it). This is
mostly due to credits required for allocation of quota structures
(credits there are heavily overestimated but it's difficult to make
better estimates if we don't want to wire non-trivial assumptions about
quota format into filesystem).
So move quota initialization out of allocation transaction. That way
transaction for quota structure allocation will be started only if we
need to look up quota structure on disk (rare) and furthermore it will
be started for each quota type separately, not for all of them at once.
This reduces maximum transaction size to 34 is most cases and to 73 in
the worst case.
[ Modified by tytso to clean up the cleanup paths for error handling.
Also use a separate call to ext4_std_error() for each failure so it
is easier for someone who is debugging a problem in this function to
determine which function call failed. ]

So far ext4_bio_write_page() attached all the pages to ext4_io_end
structure. This makes that structure pretty heavy (1 KB for pointers
+ 16 bytes per page attached to the bio). Also later we would like to
share ext4_io_end structure among several bios in case IO to a single
extent needs to be split among several bios and pointing to pages from
ext4_io_end makes this complex.
We remove page pointers from ext4_io_end and use pointers from bio
itself instead. This isn't as easy when blocksize < pagesize because
then we can have several bios in flight for a single page and we have
to be careful when to call end_page_writeback(). However this is a
known problem already solved by block_write_full_page() /
end_buffer_async_write() so we mimic its behavior here. We mark
buffers going to disk with BH_Async_Write flag and in
ext4_bio_end_io() we check whether there are any buffers with
BH_Async_Write flag left. If there are not, we can call
end_page_writeback().

Currently in ENOSPC condition when writing into unwritten space, or
punching a hole, we might need to split the extent and grow extent tree.
However since we can not allocate any new metadata blocks we'll have to
zero out unwritten part of extent or punched out part of extent, or in
the worst case return ENOSPC even though use actually does not allocate
any space.
Also in delalloc path we do reserve metadata and data blocks for the
time we're going to write out, however metadata block reservation is
very tricky especially since we expect that logical connectivity implies
physical connectivity, however that might not be the case and hence we
might end up allocating more metadata blocks than previously reserved.
So in future, metadata reservation checks should be removed since we can
not assure that we do not under reserve.
And this is where reserved space comes into the picture. When mounting
the file system we slice off a little bit of the file system space (2%
or 4096 clusters, whichever is smaller) which can be then used for the
cases mentioned above to prevent costly zeroout, or unexpected ENOSPC.
The number of reserved clusters can be set via sysfs, however it can
never be bigger than number of free clusters in the file system.
Note that this patch fixes the failure of xfstest 274 as expected.

Improve mb_free_blocks speed by clearing entire range at once instead
of iterating over each bit. Freeing block-by-block also makes buddy
bitmap subtree flip twice making most of the work a no-op. Very few
bits in buddy bitmap require change, e.g. freeing entire group is a 1
bit flip only. As a result, releasing blocks of 60G file now takes
5ms instead of 2.7s. This is especially good for non-preemptive
kernels as there is no rescheduling during release.
