7a102b0923 nilfs2: remove individual gfp constants for each metadata file
This gets rid of NILFS_CPFILE_GFP, NILFS_SUFILE_GFP, NILFS_DAT_GFP,
and NILFS_IFILE_GFP.  All of these constants refer to NILFS_MDT_GFP,
and can be removed.

003ff182fd nilfs2: allow future expansion of metadata read out via get info ioctl
Nilfs has some ioctl commands to read out metadata from meta data
files:

 - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO for checkpoint file,
 - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUINFO for segment usage file, and
 - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_VINFO for Disk Address Transalation (DAT) file,
   respectively.

Every routine on these metadata files is implemented so that it allows
future expansion of on-disk format.  But, the above ioctl commands do
not support expansion even though nilfs_argv structure can handle
arbitrary size for data exchanged via ioctl.

This allows future expansion of the following structures which give
basic format of the "get information" ioctls:

 - struct nilfs_cpinfo
 - struct nilfs_suinfo
 - struct nilfs_vinfo

So, this introduces forward compatility of such ioctl commands.

In this patch, a sanity check in nilfs_ioctl_get_info() function is
changed to accept larger data structure [1], and metadata read
routines are rewritten so that they become compatible for larger
structures; the routines will just ignore the remaining fields which
the current version of nilfs doesn't know.

[1] The ioctl function already has another upper limit (PAGE_SIZE
    against a structure, which appears in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy
    function), and this will not cause security problem.

071cb4b819 nilfs2: eliminate removal list of segments
This will clean up the removal list of segments and the related
functions from segment.c and ioctl.c, which have hurt code
readability.

This elimination is applied by using nilfs_sufile_updatev() previously
introduced in the patch ("nilfs2: add sufile function that can modify
multiple segment usages").

dda54f4b87 nilfs2: add sufile function that can modify multiple segment usages
This is a preparation for the later cleanup patch ("nilfs2: remove
list of freeing segments").

This adds nilfs_sufile_updatev() to sufile, which can modify multiple
segment usages at a time.

c85399c2da nilfs2: fix possible mismatch of sufile counters on recovery
On-disk counters ndirtysegs and ncleansegs of sufile, can go wrong
after roll-forward recovery because
nilfs_prepare_segment_for_recovery() function marks segments dirty
without adjusting value of these counters.

This fixes the problem by adding a function to sufile which does the
operation adjusting the counters, and by letting the recovery function
use it.

a703018f7b nilfs2: segment usage file cleanups
This will simplify sufile.c by sharing common code which repeatedly
appears in routines updating a segment usage entry; a wrapper function
nilfs_sufile_update() is introduced for the purpose, and counter
modifications are integrated to a new function
nilfs_sufile_mod_counter().

This is a preparation for the successive bugfix patch ("nilfs2: fix
possible mismatch of sufile counters on recovery").
