This adds a field to record the latest checkpoint number in the
nilfs_segment_summary structure. This will help to recover the latest
checkpoint number from logs on disk. This field is intended for
crucial cases in which super blocks have lost pointer to the latest
log.
Even though this will change the disk format, both backward and
forward compatibility is preserved by a size field prepared in the
segment summary header.

This cleanup patch gives several improvements:
- Moving all kmem_cache_{create_destroy} calls into one place, which removes
some small function calls, cleans up error check code and clarify the logic.
- Mark all initial code in __init section.
- Remove some very obvious comments.
- Adjust some declarations.
- Fix some space-tab issues.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

nilfs_wait_on_logs has a potential to slip out before completion of
all bio requests when it met an error. This synchronization fault may
cause unexpected results, for instance, violative access to freed
segment buffers from an end-bio callback routine.
This fixes the issue by ensuring that nilfs_wait_on_logs waits all
given logs.

This moves iterator to submit write requests for a series of logs into

This separates wait function for submitted logs from the write
function nilfs_segctor_write(). A new list of segment buffers
"sc_write_logs" is added to hold logs under writing, and double
buffering is partially applied to hide io latency.
At this point, the double buffering is disabled for blocksize <
pagesize because page dirty flag is turned off during write and dirty
buffers are not properly collected for pages crossing over segments.
To receive full benefit of the double buffering, further refinement is
needed to move the io wait outside the lock section of log writer.

This takes in the comment and replaces the use of GFP_NOWAIT flag with
GFP_NOIO.

This sets BIO_RW_UNPLUG flag on the last bio of each segment during
write. The last bio should be unplugged immediately because the
caller waits for the completion after the submission.

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").

will reduce some lines of segment constructor. Previously, the state was
complexly controlled through a list of segments in order to keep
consistency in meta data of usage state of segments. Instead, this
presents ``calculated'' active flags to userland cleaner program and stop
maintaining its real flag on disk.
Only by this fake flag, the cleaner cannot exactly know if each segment is
reclaimable or not. However, the recent extension of nilfs_sustat ioctl
struct (nilfs2-extend-nilfs_sustat-ioctl-struct.patch) can prevent the
cleaner from reclaiming in-use segment wrongly.
So, now I can apply this for simplification.
