This cleans up a few of the complaints of __generic_block_fiemap. I've
fixed all the typing stuff, used inline functions instead of macros,
gotten rid of a couple of variables, and made sure the size and block
requests are all block aligned. It also fixes a problem where sometimes
FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST wasn't being set properly.

Commit 148f948ba8 (vfs: Introduce new
helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode) broke
the raw driver.
We now call through generic_file_aio_write -> generic_write_sync ->
vfs_fsync_range. vfs_fsync_range has:
if (!fop || !fop->fsync) {
ret = -EINVAL;
goto out;
}
But drivers/char/raw.c doesn't set an fsync method.
We have two options: fix it or remove the raw driver completely. I'm
happy to do either, the fact this has been broken for so long suggests it
is rarely used.
The patch below adds an fsync method to the raw driver. My knowledge of
the block layer is pretty sketchy so this could do with a once over.
If we instead decide to remove the raw driver, this patch might still be
useful as a backport to 2.6.33 and 2.6.32.

This fixes inefficient page-by-page reads on POSIX_FADV_RANDOM.
POSIX_FADV_RANDOM used to set ra_pages=0, which leads to poor performance:
a 16K read will be carried out in 4 _sync_ 1-page reads.
In other places, ra_pages==0 means
- it's ramfs/tmpfs/hugetlbfs/sysfs/configfs
- some IO error happened
where multi-page read IO won't help or should be avoided.
POSIX_FADV_RANDOM actually want a different semantics: to disable the
*heuristic* readahead algorithm, and to use a dumb one which faithfully
submit read IO for whatever application requests.
So introduce a flag FMODE_RANDOM for POSIX_FADV_RANDOM.
Note that the random hint is not likely to help random reads performance
noticeably. And it may be too permissive on huge request size (its IO
size is not limited by read_ahead_kb).
In Quentin's report (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/24/145), the overall
(NFS read) performance of the application increased by 313%!

Add a new UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW flag to umount(2). This is needed to prevent
symlink attacks in unprivileged unmounts (fuse, samba, ncpfs).
Additionally, return -EINVAL if an unknown flag is used (and specify
an explicitly unused flag: UMOUNT_UNUSED). This makes it possible for
the caller to determine if a flag is supported or not.

We recently go rid of all callers of do_sync_file_range as they're better
served with vfs_fsync or the filemap_write_and_wait. Now that
do_sync_file_range is down to a single caller fold it into it so that people
don't start using it again accidentally. While at it also switch it from
using __filemap_fdatawrite_range(..., WB_SYNC_ALL) to the more clear
filemap_fdatawrite_range().

XFS: Free buffer pages array unconditionally
xfs: kill xfs_bmbt_rec_32/64 types
xfs: improve metadata I/O merging in the elevator
xfs: check for not fully initialized inodes in xfs_ireclaim
Change all async metadata buffers to use [READ|WRITE]_META I/O types
so that the I/O doesn't get issued immediately. This allows merging of
adjacent metadata requests but still prioritises them over bulk data.
This shows a 10-15% improvement in sequential create speed of small
files.
Don't include the log buffers in this classification - leave them as
sync types so they are issued immediately.

Currently the locking in blockdev_direct_IO is a mess, we have three different
locking types and very confusing checks for some of them. The most
complicated one is DIO_OWN_LOCKING for reads, which happens to not actually be
used.
This patch gets rid of the DIO_OWN_LOCKING - as mentioned above the read case
is unused anyway, and the write side is almost identical to DIO_NO_LOCKING.
The difference is that DIO_NO_LOCKING always sets the create argument for
the get_blocks callback to zero, but we can easily move that to the actual
get_blocks callbacks. There are four users of the DIO_NO_LOCKING mode:
gfs already ignores the create argument and thus is fine with the new
version, ocfs2 only errors out if create were ever set, and we can remove
this dead code now, the block device code only ever uses create for an
error message if we are fully beyond the device which can never happen,
and last but not least XFS will need the new behavour for writes.
Now we can replace the lock_type variable with a flags one, where no flag
means the DIO_NO_LOCKING behaviour and DIO_LOCKING is kept as the first
flag. Separate out the check for not allowing to fill holes into a separate
flag, although for now both flags always get set at the same time.
Also revamp the documentation of the locking scheme to actually make sense.
