Namjae Jeon d533df07c2 fat: fix bug in enforcing Long File Name length
Since '*outlen' is initialized to zero, it is currently possible to
create a filename of length (FAT_LFN_LEN + 1) when utf8 is not enabled.
To enforce the FAT_LFN_LEN limit, we must perform one less iteration.

Namjae Jeon 41f0c02eac fat: clean up xlate_to_uni()
xlate_to_uni() is called by vfat_build_slots() with sbi->nls_io as the
final argument.  nls_io can never be null at this point because the
check is already being done in fat_fill_super() wherein the mount fails
if it is null.

Alan Stern 0720a06a75 NLS: improve UTF8 -> UTF16 string conversion routine
The utf8s_to_utf16s conversion routine needs to be improved.  Unlike
its utf16s_to_utf8s sibling, it doesn't accept arguments specifying
the maximum length of the output buffer or the endianness of its
16-bit output.

This patch (as1501) adds the two missing arguments, and adjusts the
only two places in the kernel where the function is called.  A
follow-on patch will add a third caller that does utilize the new
capabilities.

The two conversion routines are still annoyingly inconsistent in the
way they handle invalid byte combinations.  But that's a subject for a
different patch.

FAT16 support maximum 4GB vol/file size with 64KB cluster size.

Win NT/XP/7 increased the maximum cluster size to 64KB, and file/vol
size increased 4GB also.  Although increasing, the file size of linux
FAT is still limited at 2GB.

I found that it is limited by sb->maxbytes(0x7fffffff) when partition
is formatted by FAT16.  sb->s_maxbytes in fill_super should be set to
0xffffffff like fat32.

Josef Bacik 02c24a8218 fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers
Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers.  Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

Christoph Hellwig aacfc19c62 fs: simplify the blockdev_direct_IO prototype
Simple filesystems always pass inode->i_sb_bdev as the block device
argument, and never need a end_io handler.  Let's simply things for
them and for my grepping activity by dropping these arguments.  The
only thing not falling into that scheme is ext4, which passes and
end_io handler without needing special flags (yet), but given how
messy the direct I/O code there is use of __blockdev_direct_IO
in one instead of two out of three cases isn't going to make a large
difference anyway.

This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup

have d_op but not the particular operation.

Nick Piggin fa0d7e3de6 fs: icache RCU free inodes
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:

- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
  permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
  to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
  the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
  page lock to follow page->mapping.

The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.

In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.

The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

Nick Piggin b1e6a015a5 fs: change d_hash for rcu-walk
Change d_hash so it may be called from lock-free RCU lookups. See similar
patch for d_compare for details.

For in-tree filesystems, this is just a mechanical change.

Nick Piggin 621e155a35 fs: change d_compare for rcu-walk
Change d_compare so it may be called from lock-free RCU lookups. This
does put significant restrictions on what may be done from the callback,
however there don't seem to have been any problems with in-tree fses.
If some strange use case pops up that _really_ cannot cope with the
rcu-walk rules, we can just add new rcu-unaware callbacks, which would
cause name lookup to drop out of rcu-walk mode.

For in-tree filesystems, this is just a mechanical change.
