that's the bulk of filesystem drivers dealing with inodes of their own

Cachefiles should perform fs modifications (eg. vfs_unlink()) on the top layer
only and should not attempt to alter the lower layer.

Make pathwalk use d_is_reg() rather than S_ISREG() to determine whether to
honour O_TRUNC. Since this occurs after complete_walk(), the dentry type
field cannot change and the inode pointer cannot change as we hold a ref on
the dentry, so this should be safe.

Fix up debugfs to use d_is_dir(dentry) in place of

Where we have:
if (!dentry->d_inode || d_is_negative(dentry)) {
type constructions in pathwalk we should be able to eliminate the check of
d_inode and rely solely on the result of d_is_negative() or d_is_positive().
What we do have to take care to do is to read d_inode after calling a
d_is_xxx() typecheck function to get the barriering right.

Don't use d_inode as a variable name as it now masks a function name.

Impose ordering on accesses of d_inode and d_flags to avoid the need to do
this:
if (!dentry->d_inode || d_is_negative(dentry)) {
when this:
if (d_is_negative(dentry)) {
should suffice.
This check is especially problematic if a dentry can have its type field set
to something other than DENTRY_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL (as in
unionmount).
What we really need to do is stick a write barrier between setting d_inode and
setting d_flags and a read barrier between reading d_flags and reading
d_inode.

... returning -E... upon error and amount of data left in iter after
(possible) truncation upon success. Note, that normal case gives
a non-zero (positive) return value, so any tests for != 0 _must_ be
updated.

Alignment checks for dio depend upon the range truncation done by
generic_write_checks(). They can be done as soon as we got ocfs2_rw_lock()
and that actually makes ocfs2_prepare_inode_for_write() simpler.
The only thing to watch out for is restoring the original count
in "unlock and redo without dio" case. Position doesn't need to be
restored, since we change it only in O_APPEND case and in that case it
will be reassigned anyway.

called generic_write_checks(); now the former got expanded, bringing
the latter to the surface. It used to be called all along and calling
it from there had been wrong all along...

That allows ->write_iter() instances much more convenient life wrt
iocb->ki_pos (and fixes several filesystems with borderline POSIX
violations when zero-length write succeeds and changes the current
position).

The rw parameter to direct_IO is redundant with iov_iter->type, and
treated slightly differently just about everywhere it's used: some users
do rw & WRITE, and others do rw == WRITE where they should be doing a
bitwise check. Simplify this with the new iov_iter_rw() helper, which
always returns either READ or WRITE.

all remaining instances of aio_{read,write} (all 4 of them) have explicit

__vfs_read/__vfs_write anymore and no other users had been left.

All places outside of core VFS that checked ->read and ->write for being NULL or
called the methods directly are gone now, so NULL {read,write} with non-NULL
{read,write}_iter will do the right thing in all cases.
