When we are writing to a single file and hit ENOSPC, we trigger a background
flush of the inode and try again. Because we hold page locks and the iolock,
the flush won't proceed until after we release these locks. This occurs once
we've given up and ENOSPC has been reported. Hence if this one is the only
dirty inode in the system, we'll get an ENOSPC prematurely.
To fix this, remove the async flush from the allocation routines and move
it to the top of the write path where we can do a synchronous flush
and retry the write again. Only retry once as a second ENOSPC indicates
that we really are ENOSPC.
This avoids a page cache deadlock when trying to do this flush synchronously
in the allocation layer that was identified by Mikulas Patocka.

The iolock is dropped and re-acquired around the call to XFS_SEND_NAMESP().
While the iolock is released the file can become cached. We then
'goto retry' and - if we are doing direct I/O - mapping->nrpages may now be
non zero but need_i_mutex will be zero and we will hit the WARN_ON().
Since we have dropped the I/O lock then the file size may have also changed
so what we need to do here is 'goto start' like we do for the XFS_SEND_DATA()
DMAPI event.
We also need to update the filesize before releasing the iolock so that
needs to be done before the XFS_SEND_NAMESP event. If we drop the iolock
before setting the filesize we could race with a truncate.

XFS gets the sign of the error wrong in several places when
gathering the error from generic linux functions. These functions
return negative error values, while the core XFS code returns
positive error values. Hence when XFS inverts the error to be
returned to the VFS, it can incorrectly invert a negative
error and this error will be ignored by the syscall return.
Fix all the problems related to calling filemap_* functions.

Simplify page cache zeroing of segments of pages through 3 functions
zero_user_segments(page, start1, end1, start2, end2)
Zeros two segments of the page. It takes the position where to
start and end the zeroing which avoids length calculations and
makes code clearer.
zero_user_segment(page, start, end)
Same for a single segment.
zero_user(page, start, length)
Length variant for the case where we know the length.
We remove the zero_user_page macro. Issues:
1. Its a macro. Inline functions are preferable.
2. The KM_USER0 macro is only defined for HIGHMEM.
Having to treat this special case everywhere makes the
code needlessly complex. The parameter for zeroing is always
KM_USER0 except in one single case that we open code.
Avoiding KM_USER0 makes a lot of code not having to be dealing
with the special casing for HIGHMEM anymore. Dealing with
kmap is only necessary for HIGHMEM configurations. In those
configurations we use KM_USER0 like we do for a series of other
functions defined in highmem.h.
Since KM_USER0 is depends on HIGHMEM the existing zero_user_page
function could not be a macro. zero_user_* functions introduced
here can be be inline because that constant is not used when these
functions are called.
Also extract the flushing of the caches to be outside of the kmap.

The problem that has been addressed is that of synchronising updates of
the file size with writes that extend a file. Without the fix the update
of a file's size, as a result of a write beyond eof, is independent of
when the cached data is flushed to disk. Often the file size update would
be written to the filesystem log before the data is flushed to disk. When
a system crashes between these two events and the filesystem log is
replayed on mount the file's size will be set but since the contents never
made it to disk the file is full of holes. If some of the cached data was
flushed to disk then it may just be a section of the file at the end that
has holes.
There are existing fixes to help alleviate this problem, particularly in
the case where a file has been truncated, that force cached data to be
flushed to disk when the file is closed. If the system crashes while the
file(s) are still open then this flushing will never occur.
The fix that we have implemented is to introduce a second file size,
called the in-memory file size, that represents the current file size as
viewed by the user. The existing file size, called the on-disk file size,
is the one that get's written to the filesystem log and we only update it
when it is safe to do so. When we write to a file beyond eof we only
update the in- memory file size in the write operation. Later when the I/O
operation, that flushes the cached data to disk completes, an I/O
completion routine will update the on-disk file size. The on-disk file
size will be updated to the maximum offset of the I/O or to the value of
the in-memory file size if the I/O includes eof.

This change addresses a race in xfs_write() where, for direct I/O, the
flags need_i_mutex and need_flush are setup before the iolock is acquired.
The logic used to setup the flags may change between setting the flags and
acquiring the iolock resulting in these flags having incorrect values. For
example, if a file is not currently cached then need_i_mutex is set to
zero and then if the file is cached before the iolock is acquired we will
fail to do the flushinval before the direct write.
The flush (and also the call to xfs_zero_eof()) need to be done with the
iolock held exclusive so we need to acquire the iolock before checking for
cached data (or if the write begins after eof) to prevent this state from
changing. For direct I/O I've chosen to always acquire the iolock in
shared mode initially and if there is a need to promote it then drop it
and reacquire it.
There's also some other tidy-ups including removing the O_APPEND offset
adjustment since that work is done in generic_write_checks() (and we don't
use offset as an input parameter anywhere).

In a nutshell, all filesystems should set .aio_read/.aio_write methods and use
do_sync_read/ do_sync_write() as their .read/.write methods. This allows us
to cleanup all variants of generic_file_* routines.
Final available interfaces:
