Add a new config option, CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23 which if enabled,
will cause ext4 to be used for either ext2 or ext3 file system mounts
when ext2 or ext3 is not enabled in the configuration.
This allows minimalist kernel fanatics to drop to file system drivers
from their compiled kernel with out losing functionality.

The move_extent.moved_len is used to pass back the number of exchanged
blocks count to user space. Currently the caller must clear this
field; but we spend more code space checking for this requirement than
simply zeroing the field ourselves, so let's just make life easier for
everyone all around.

At the beginning of ext4_move_extent(), we call
ext4_discard_preallocations() to discard inode PAs of orig and donor
inodes. But in the following case, blocks can be double freed, so
move ext4_discard_preallocations() to the end of ext4_move_extents().
1. Discard inode PAs of orig and donor inodes with
ext4_discard_preallocations() in ext4_move_extents().
orig : [ DATA1 ]
donor: [ DATA2 ]
2. While data blocks are exchanging between orig and donor inodes, new
inode PAs is created to orig by other process's block allocation.
(Since there are semaphore gaps in ext4_move_extents().) And new
inode PAs is used partially (2-1).
2-1 Create new inode PAs to orig inode
orig : [ DATA1 | used PA1 | free PA1 ]
donor: [ DATA2 ]
3. Donor inode which has old orig inode's blocks is deleted after
EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT finished (3-1, 3-2). So the block bitmap
corresponds to old orig inode's blocks are freed.
3-1 After EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT finished
orig : [ DATA2 | free PA1 ]
donor: [ DATA1 | used PA1 ]
3-2 Delete donor inode
orig : [ DATA2 | free PA1 ]
donor: [ FREE SPACE(DATA1) | FREE SPACE(used PA1) ]
4. The double-free of blocks is occurred, when close() is called to
orig inode. Because ext4_discard_preallocations() for orig inode
frees used PA1 and free PA1, though used PA1 is already freed in 3.
4-1 Double-free of blocks is occurred
orig : [ DATA2 | FREE SPACE(free PA1) ]
donor: [ FREE SPACE(DATA1) | DOUBLE FREE(used PA1) ]

The block validity framework does a more comprehensive set of checks,
and it saves object code space to use the ext4_data_block_valid() than
the limited open-coded version that had been in ext4_free_blocks().

Add the facility for ext4_forget() to be called from
ext4_free_blocks(). This simplifies the code in a large number of
places, and centralizes most of the work of calling ext4_forget() into
a single place.
Also fix a bug in the extents migration code; it wasn't calling
ext4_forget() when releasing the indirect blocks during the
conversion. As a result, if the system cashed during or shortly after
the extents migration, and the released indirect blocks get reused as
data blocks, the journal replay would corrupt the data blocks. With
this new patch, fixing this bug was as simple as adding the
EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET flags to the call to ext4_free_blocks().

ext4_mb_free_blocks() is only called by ext4_free_blocks(), and the
latter function doesn't really do much. So merge the two functions
together, such that ext4_free_blocks() is now found in
fs/ext4/mballoc.c. This saves about 200 bytes of compiled text space.

Convert the last two callers of ext4_journal_forget() to use
ext4_forget() instead, and then fold ext4_journal_forget() into
ext4_forget(). This reduces are code complexity and shortens our call
stack.

The only caller of ext4_journal_revoke() is ext4_forget(), so we can

The ext4_forget() function better belongs in ext4_jbd2.c. This will
allow us to do some cleanup of the ext4_journal_revoke() and
ext4_journal_forget() functions, as well as giving us better error
reporting since we can report the caller of ext4_forget() when things
go wrong.

Users on the linux-ext4 list recently complained about differences
across filesystems w.r.t. how to mount without a journal replay.
In the discussion it was noted that xfs's "norecovery" option is
perhaps more descriptively accurate than "noload," so let's make
that an alias for ext4.
Also show this status in /proc/mounts

When an inode gets unlinked, the functions ext4_clear_blocks() and
ext4_remove_blocks() call ext4_forget() for all the buffer heads
corresponding to the deleted inode's data blocks. If the inode is a
directory or a symlink, the is_metadata parameter must be non-zero so
ext4_forget() will revoke them via jbd2_journal_revoke(). Otherwise,
if these blocks are reused for a data file, and the system crashes
before a journal checkpoint, the journal replay could end up
corrupting these data blocks.

area.
