We always want to check that the verifier and directory
cache_change_attribute match. This also allows us to remove the 'wraparound
hack' for the cache_change_attribute. If we're only checking for equality,
then we don't care about wraparound issues.

I would like to discuss the idea that the current checks for attribute
timeout using time_after are inadequate for 32bit architectures, since
time_after works correctly only when the two timestamps being compared
are within 2^31 jiffies of each other. The signed overflow caused by
comparing values more than 2^31 jiffies apart will flip the result,
causing incorrect assumptions of validity.
2^31 jiffies is a fairly large period of time (~25 days) when compared
to the lifetime of most kernel data structures, but for long lived NFS
mounts that can sit idle for months (think that for some reason autofs
cannot be used), it is easy to compare inode attribute timestamps with
very disparate or even bogus values (as in when jiffies have wrapped
many times, where the comparison doesn't even make sense).
Currently the code tests for attribute timeout by simply adding the
desired amount of jiffies to the stored timestamp and comparing that
with the current timestamp of obtained attribute data with time_after.
This is incorrect, as it returns true for the desired timeout period
and another full 2^31 range of jiffies.
In testing with artificial jumps (several small jumps, not one big
crank) of the jiffies I was able to reproduce a problem found in a
server with very long lived NFS mounts, where attributes would not be
refreshed even after touching files and directories in the server:
Initial uptime:
03:42:01 up 6 min, 0 users, load average: 0.01, 0.12, 0.07
NFS volume is mounted and time is advanced:
03:38:09 up 25 days, 2 min, 0 users, load average: 1.22, 1.05, 1.08
# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:38 /local/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar
# touch /local/A/foo/bar
# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:47 /local/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar
We can see the local mtime is updated, but the NFS mount still shows
the old value. The patch below makes it work:
Initial setup...
07:11:02 up 25 days, 1 min, 0 users, load average: 0.15, 0.03, 0.04
# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar

Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
All the current page_mkwrite() implementations also set the page dirty. Which
results in the set_page_dirty_balance() call to _not_ call balance, because the
page is already found dirty.
This allows us to dirty a _lot_ of pages without ever hitting
balance_dirty_pages(). Not good (tm).
Force a balance call if ->page_mkwrite() was successful.
