Tao Ma bc13d34757 ocfs2: Create reflinked file in orphan dir.
reflink is a very complicated process, so it can't be integrated
into one transaction. So if the system panic in the operation, we
may leave a unfinished inode in the destication directory.

So we will try to create an inode in orphan_dir first, reflink it
to the src file and then move it to the destication file in the end.
In that way we won't be afraid of any corruption during the reflink.

This patch adds 2 functions for orphan_dir operation:
1. Create a new inode in orphand dir.
2. Move an inode to a target dir.

Note:
fsck.ocfs2 should work for us to remove the unfinished file in the
orphan_dir.

Tao Ma 19bd341f6a ocfs2: Use proper parameter for some inode operation.
In order to make the original function more suitable for reflink,
we modify the following inode operations. Both are tiny.

1. ocfs2_mknod_locked only use dentry for mlog, so move it to
   the caller so that reflink can use it without dentry.
2. ocfs2_prepare_orphan_dir only want inode to get its ip_blkno.
   So use ip_blkno instead.

Joel Becker 0cf2f7632b ocfs2: Pass struct ocfs2_caching_info to the journal functions.
The next step in divorcing metadata I/O management from struct inode is
to pass struct ocfs2_caching_info to the journal functions.  Thus the
journal locks a metadata cache with the cache io_lock function.  It also
can compare ci_last_trans and ci_created_trans directly.

This is a large patch because of all the places we change
ocfs2_journal_access..(handle, inode, ...) to
ocfs2_journal_access..(handle, INODE_CACHE(inode), ...).

We are really passing the inode into the ocfs2_read/write_blocks()

Tao Ma 138211515c ocfs2: Optimize inode allocation by remembering last group
In ocfs2, the inode block search looks for the "emptiest" inode
group to allocate from. So if an inode alloc file has many equally
(or almost equally) empty groups, new inodes will tend to get
spread out amongst them, which in turn can put them all over the
disk. This is undesirable because directory operations on conceptually
"nearby" inodes force a large number of seeks.

So we add ip_last_used_group in core directory inodes which records
the last used allocation group. Another field named ip_last_used_slot
is also added in case inode stealing happens. When claiming new inode,
we passed in directory's inode so that the allocation can use this
information.
For more details, please see

Mark Fasheh 9b7895efac ocfs2: Add a name indexed b-tree to directory inodes
This patch makes use of Ocfs2's flexible btree code to add an additional
tree to directory inodes. The new tree stores an array of small,
fixed-length records in each leaf block. Each record stores a hash value,
and pointer to a block in the traditional (unindexed) directory tree where a
dirent with the given name hash resides. Lookup exclusively uses this tree
to find dirents, thus providing us with constant time name lookups.

Some of the hashing code was copied from ext3. Unfortunately, it has lots of
unfixed checkpatch errors. I left that as-is so that tracking changes would
be easier.

Joel Becker 13723d00e3 ocfs2: Use metadata-specific ocfs2_journal_access_*() functions.
The per-metadata-type ocfs2_journal_access_*() functions hook up jbd2
commit triggers and allow us to compute metadata ecc right before the
buffers are written out.  This commit provides ecc for inodes, extent
blocks, group descriptors, and quota blocks.  It is not safe to use
extened attributes and metaecc at the same time yet.

The ocfs2_extent_tree and ocfs2_path abstractions in alloc.c both hide
the type of block at their root.  Before, it didn't matter, but now the
root block must use the appropriate ocfs2_journal_access_*() function.
To keep this abstract, the structures now have a pointer to the matching
journal_access function and a wrapper call to call it.

A few places use naked ocfs2_write_block() calls instead of adding the
blocks to the journal.  We make sure to calculate their checksum and ecc
before the write.

Since we pass around the journal_access functions.  Let's typedef them
in ocfs2.h.

Joel Becker b657c95c11 ocfs2: Wrap inode block reads in a dedicated function.
The ocfs2 code currently reads inodes off disk with a simple
ocfs2_read_block() call.  Each place that does this has a different set
of sanity checks it performs.  Some check only the signature.  A couple
validate the block number (the block read vs di->i_blkno).  A couple
others check for VALID_FL.  Only one place validates i_fs_generation.  A
couple check nothing.  Even when an error is found, they don't all do
the same thing.

We wrap inode reading into ocfs2_read_inode_block().  This will validate
all the above fields, going readonly if they are invalid (they never
should be).  ocfs2_read_inode_block_full() is provided for the places
that want to pass read_block flags.  Every caller is passing a struct
inode with a valid ip_blkno, so we don't need a separate blkno argument
either.

We will remove the validation checks from the rest of the code in a
later commit, as they are no longer necessary.

Arjan van de Ven 92e1d5be91 [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 2
Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.
