This directly uses sb->s_fs_info to keep a nilfs filesystem object and
fully removes the intermediate nilfs_sb_info structure. With this
change, the hierarchy of on-memory structures of nilfs will be
simplified as follows:
Before:
super_block
-> nilfs_sb_info
-> the_nilfs
-> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system)
+-> nilfs_root (snapshot A)
+-> nilfs_root (snapshot B)
:
-> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure)
After:
super_block
-> the_nilfs
-> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system)
+-> nilfs_root (snapshot A)
+-> nilfs_root (snapshot B)
:
-> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure)
The reason why we didn't design so from the beginning is because the
initial shape also differed from the above. The early hierachy was
composed of "per-mount-point" super_block -> nilfs_sb_info pairs and a
shared nilfs object. On the kernel 2.6.37, it was changed to the
current shape in order to unify super block instances into one per
device, and this cleanup became applicable as the result.

The current FS_IOC_GETFLAGS/SETFLAGS/GETVERSION will fail if
application is 32 bit and kernel is 64 bit.
This issue is avoidable by adding compat_ioctl method.

This adds fiemap to nilfs. Two new functions, nilfs_fiemap and
nilfs_find_uncommitted_extent are added.
nilfs_fiemap() implements the fiemap inode operation, and
nilfs_find_uncommitted_extent() helps to get a range of data blocks
whose physical location has not been determined.
nilfs_fiemap() collects extent information by looping through
nilfs_bmap_lookup_contig and nilfs_find_uncommitted_extent routines.

* mark struct vm_area_struct::vm_ops as const
* mark vm_ops in AGP code
But leave TTM code alone, something is fishy there with global vm_ops
being used.

Pekka Enberg suggested converting ->ioctl operations to use
->unlocked_ioctl to avoid BKL.
The conversion was verified to be safe, so I will take it on this
occasion.

This removes compat code from the nilfs ioctls and applies the same

Chris Mason pointed out that there is a missed sync issue in
nilfs_writepages():

where WB_SYNC_NONE in do_sync_mapping_range() was replaced with
WB_SYNC_ALL by Nick's patch (commit:
ee53a891f4).
This fixes the problem by letting nilfs_writepages() write out the log of
file data within the range if sync_mode is WB_SYNC_ALL.
This involves removal of nilfs_file_aio_write() which was previously
needed to ensure O_SYNC sync writes.

This adds the segment constructor (also called log writer).
The segment constructor collects dirty buffers for every dirty inode,
makes summaries of the buffers, assigns disk block addresses to the
buffers, and then submits BIOs for the buffers.
