This adds optional function to metadata files which makes a copy of
bmap, page caches, and b-tree node cache, and rolls back to the copy
as needed.
This enhancement is intended to displace gcdat inode that provides a
similar function in a different way.
In this patch, nilfs_shadow_map structure is added to store a copy of
the foregoing states. nilfs_mdt_setup_shadow_map relates this
structure to a metadata file. And, nilfs_mdt_save_to_shadow_map() and
nilfs_mdt_restore_from_shadow_map() provides save and restore
functions respectively. Finally, nilfs_mdt_clear_shadow_map() clears
states of nilfs_shadow_map.
The copy of b-tree node cache and page cache is made by duplicating
only dirty pages into corresponding caches in nilfs_shadow_map. Their
restoration is done by clearing dirty pages from original caches and
by copying dirty pages back from nilfs_shadow_map.

This adds mode argument to nilfs_btnode_submit_block() function and
allows it to issue a read-ahead request.
An optional submit_ptr argument is also added to store the actual
block address for which bio is sent. submit_ptr is used for a series
of read-ahead requests, and helps to decide if each requested block is
continous to the previous one on disk.

nilfs_btnode_submit_block() refers to buffer head just before
returning from the function, but it releases the buffer head earlier
than that if nilfs_dat_translate() gets an error.
This has potential for oops in the erroneous case. This fixes the
issue.

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.

This removes the obsolete nilfs_btnode_get() function and makes
nilfs_btree_get_block() directly call nilfs_btnode_submit_block().
This expansion will provide better opportunity for code optimization.

Bruno Prémont and Dunphy, Bill noticed me that NILFS will certainly
hang on ARM-based targets.
I found this was caused by an underflow of dirty pages counter. A
b-tree cache routine was marking page dirty without adjusting page
account information.
This fixes the dirty page accounting leak and resolves the hang on
arm-based targets.

This will fix file system corruption which infrequently happens after
mount. The problem was reported from users with the title "[NILFS
users] Fail to mount NILFS." (Message-ID:
<200908211918.34720.yuri@itinteg.net>), and so forth. I've also
experienced the corruption multiple times on kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31.
The problem turned out to be caused due to discordance between
mapping->nrpages of a btree node cache and the actual number of pages
hung on the cache; if the mapping->nrpages becomes zero even as it has
pages, truncate_inode_pages() returns without doing anything. Usually
this is harmless except it may cause page leak, but garbage collection
fairly infrequently sees a stale page remained in the btree node cache
of DAT (i.e. disk address translation file of nilfs), and induces the
corruption.
I identified a missing initialization in btree node caches was the
root cause. This corrects the bug.
I've tested this for kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31.

This applies block_sync_page() function to the sync_page method of
page caches for meta data files, gc page caches, and btree node
buffers. This is a companion patch of ("nilfs2: enable sync_page
mothod") which applied the function for data pages.
This allows lock_page() for those meta data to unplug pending bio
requests.
