On a 256M filesystem, doing this in a loop:
xfs_io -F -f -d -c 'pwrite 0 64m' test
rm -f test
eventually leads to ENOSPC. (the xfs_io command does a
64m direct IO write to the file "test")
As with other block allocation callers, it looks like we need to
potentially retry the allocations on the initial ENOSPC.

This fixes the following warning:
fs/ext4/inode.c: In function 'ext4_dirty_inode':
fs/ext4/inode.c:5615: warning: unused variable 'current_handle'
We remove the jbd_debug() statement which does use current_handle, as
it's not terribly important in the grand scheme of things.

In ext4_num_dirty_pages() we were calling page_buffers() before
checking to see if the page actually had pages attached to it; this
would cause a BUG check crash in the inline function page_buffers().

"Looking at ext4.h, I think the setting of extra time fields forgets to
mask the epoch bits so the epoch part overwrites nsec part. The second
change is only for coherency (2 -> EXT4_EPOCH_BITS)."

The tracepoint ext4_da_write_pages has a struct mpage_da_data*
parameter, but that struct is only defined in fs/ext4/ext4.h. This
patch adds a forward declaration for that struct, so this tracepoint
header can still be used by tools like SystemTap.
This is a continuation of the fix in commit 3661d286.

The /proc/fs/jbd2/<dev>/history was maintained manually; by using
tracepoints, we can get all of the existing functionality of the /proc
file plus extra capabilities thanks to the ftrace infrastructure. We
save memory as a bonus.

The /proc/fs/ext4/<dev>/mb_history was maintained manually, and had a
number of problems: it required a largish amount of memory to be
allocated for each ext4 filesystem, and the s_mb_history_lock
introduced a CPU contention problem.
By ripping out the mb_history code and replacing it with ftrace
tracepoints, and we get more functionality: timestamps, event
filtering, the ability to correlate mballoc history with other ext4
tracepoints, etc.

There are a number of kernel printk's which are printed when an ext4
filesystem is mounted and unmounted. Disable them to economize space
in the system logs. In addition, disabling the mballoc stats by
default saves a number of unneeded atomic operations for every block
allocation or deallocation.

This patch a problem that ext4_dirty_inode() was not calling
ext4_mark_inode_dirty() if the current_handle is not valid, which it
is the case in no journal mode.
It also removes a test for non-matching transaction which can never
happen.

This is a cleanup of commit 91ac6f4. Since ext4_mark_inode_dirty()
has already called ext4_mark_iloc_dirty(), which in turn calls
ext4_do_update_inode(), it's not necessary to have ext4_write_inode()
call ext4_do_update_inode() in no journal mode. Indeed, it would be
duplicated work.

For async direct IO that covers holes or fallocate, the end_io
callback function now queued the convertion work on workqueue but
don't flush the work rightaway as it might take too long to afford.
But when fsync is called after all the data is completed, user expects
the metadata also being updated before fsync returns.
Thus we need to flush the conversion work when fsync() is called.
This patch keep track of a listed of completed async direct io that
has a work queued on workqueue. When fsync() is called, it will go
through the list and do the conversion.

Currently the DIO VFS code passes create = 0 when writing to the
middle of file. It does this to avoid block allocation for holes, so
as not to expose stale data out when there is a parallel buffered read
(which does not hold the i_mutex lock). Direct I/O writes into holes
falls back to buffered IO for this reason.
Since preallocated extents are treated as holes when doing a
get_block() look up (buffer is not mapped), direct IO over fallocate
also falls back to buffered IO. Thus ext4 actually silently falls
back to buffered IO in above two cases, which is undesirable.
To fix this, this patch creates unitialized extents when a direct I/O
write into holes in sparse files, and registering an end_io callback which
converts the uninitialized extent to an initialized extent after the
I/O is completed.

When writing into an unitialized extent via direct I/O, and the direct
I/O doesn't exactly cover the unitialized extent, split the extent
into uninitialized and initialized extents before submitting the I/O.
This avoids needing to deal with an ENOSPC error in the end_io
callback that gets used for direct I/O.
When the IO is complete, the written extent will be marked as initialized.

Work around problems in the writeback code to force out writebacks in
larger chunks than just 4mb, which is just too small. This also works
around limitations in the ext4 block allocator, which can't allocate
more than 2048 blocks at a time. So we need to defeat the round-robin
characteristics of the writeback code and try to write out as many
blocks in one inode before allowing the writeback code to move on to
another inode. We add a a new per-filesystem tunable,
max_writeback_mb_bump, which caps this to a default of 128mb per
inode.

* 'writeback' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block:
writeback: writeback_inodes_sb() should use bdi_start_writeback()
writeback: don't delay inodes redirtied by a fast dirtier
writeback: make the super_block pinning more efficient
writeback: don't resort for a single super_block in move_expired_inodes()
writeback: move inodes from one super_block together
writeback: get rid to incorrect references to pdflush in comments
writeback: improve readability of the wb_writeback() continue/break logic
writeback: cleanup writeback_single_inode()
writeback: kupdate writeback shall not stop when more io is possible
writeback: stop background writeback when below background threshold
writeback: balance_dirty_pages() shall write more than dirtied pages
fs: Fix busyloop in wb_writeback()
Debug traces show that in per-bdi writeback, the inode under writeback
almost always get redirtied by a busy dirtier. We used to call
redirty_tail() in this case, which could delay inode for up to 30s.
This is unacceptable because it now happens so frequently for plain cp/dd,
that the accumulated delays could make writeback of big files very slow.
So let's distinguish between data redirty and metadata only redirty.
The first one is caused by a busy dirtier, while the latter one could
happen in XFS, NFS, etc. when they are doing delalloc or updating isize.
The inode being busy dirtied will now be requeued for next io, while
the inode being redirtied by fs will continue to be delayed to avoid
repeated IO.
