99652ea56a ext4: Add statx support
Return enhanced file attributes from the Ext4 filesystem.  This includes
the following:

 (1) The inode creation time (i_crtime) as stx_btime, setting STATX_BTIME.

 (2) Certain FS_xxx_FL flags are mapped to stx_attribute flags.

This requires that all ext4 inodes have a getattr call, not just some of
them, so to this end, split the ext4_getattr() function and only call part
of it where appropriate.

Example output:

	[root@andromeda ~]# touch foo
	[root@andromeda ~]# chattr +ai foo
	[root@andromeda ~]# /tmp/test-statx foo
	statx(foo) = 0

ef1eb3aa50 fscrypto: make filename crypto functions return 0 on success
Several filename crypto functions: fname_decrypt(),
fscrypt_fname_disk_to_usr(), and fscrypt_fname_usr_to_disk(), returned
the output length on success or -errno on failure.  However, the output
length was redundant with the value written to 'oname->len'.  It is also
potentially error-prone to make callers have to check for '< 0' instead
of '!= 0'.

Therefore, make these functions return 0 instead of a length, and make
the callers who cared about the return value being a length use
'oname->len' instead.  For consistency also make other callers check for
a nonzero result rather than a negative result.

This change also fixes the inconsistency of fname_encrypt() actually
already returning 0 on success, not a length like the other filename
crypto functions and as documented in its function comment.

09cbfeaf1a mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

6b2553918d replace ->follow_link() with new method that could stay in RCU mode
new method: ->get_link(); replacement of ->follow_link().  The differences
are:
	* inode and dentry are passed separately
	* might be called both in RCU and non-RCU mode;
the former is indicated by passing it a NULL dentry.
	* when called that way it isn't allowed to block
and should return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD) if it needs to be called
in non-RCU mode.

It's a flagday change - the old method is gone, all in-tree instances
converted.  Conversion isn't hard; said that, so far very few instances
do not immediately bail out when called in RCU mode.  That'll change
in the next commits.

kmap() in page_follow_link_light() needed to go - allowing to hold
an arbitrary number of kmaps for long is a great way to deadlocking
the system.

new helper (inode_nohighmem(inode)) needs to be used for pagecache
symlinks inodes; done for all in-tree cases.  page_follow_link_light()

 (Quota writes failing due to ENOSPC, a race between truncate and

 fail, and other corner cases.)
 
 Also add support for FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE, and improve jbd2
 performance eliminating locking when a buffer is modified more than
 once during a transaction (which is very common for allocation
 bitmaps, for example), in which case the state of the journalled
 buffer head doesn't need to change.

c936e1ec28 ext4 crypto: use per-inode tfm structure
As suggested by Herbert Xu, we shouldn't allocate a new tfm each time
we read or write a page.  Instead we can use a single tfm hanging off
the inode's crypt_info structure for all of our encryption needs for
that inode, since the tfm can be used by multiple crypto requests in
parallel.

Also use cmpxchg() to avoid races that could result in crypt_info
structure getting doubly allocated or doubly freed.

b7236e21d5 ext4 crypto: reorganize how we store keys in the inode
This is a pretty massive patch which does a number of different things:

1) The per-inode encryption information is now stored in an allocated
   data structure, ext4_crypt_info, instead of directly in the node.
   This reduces the size usage of an in-memory inode when it is not
   using encryption.

2) We drop the ext4_fname_crypto_ctx entirely, and use the per-inode
   encryption structure instead.  This remove an unnecessary memory
   allocation and free for the fname_crypto_ctx as well as allowing us
   to reuse the ctfm in a directory for multiple lookups and file
   creations.

3) We also cache the inode's policy information in the ext4_crypt_info
   structure so we don't have to continually read it out of the
   extended attributes.

4) We now keep the keyring key in the inode's encryption structure
   instead of releasing it after we are done using it to derive the
   per-inode key.  This allows us to test to see if the key has been
   revoked; if it has, we prevent the use of the derived key and free
   it.

5) When an inode is released (or when the derived key is freed), we
   will use memset_explicit() to zero out the derived key, so it's not
   left hanging around in memory.  This implies that when a user logs
   out, it is important to first revoke the key, and then unlink it,
   and then finally, to use "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" to
   release any decrypted pages and dcache entries from the system
   caches.

6) All this, and we also shrink the number of lines of code by around
   100.  :-)

680baacbca new ->follow_link() and ->put_link() calling conventions
a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning
an opaque pointer later passed to ->put_link(), ->follow_link() _stores_
that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns
the symlink body.  Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic
symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks.  Stored pointer
is ignored in all cases except the last one.

Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call
of ->put_link().

b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata).
Now only the opaque pointer is.  In the cases when we used the symlink body
to free stuff, ->follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition
to returning it.

939da10844 ext4: Remove CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR
Ted has sent out a RFC about removing this feature. Eric and Jan
confirmed that both RedHat and SUSE enable this feature in all their
product.  David also said that "As far as I know, it's enabled in all
Android kernels that use ext4."  So it seems OK for us.

And what's more, as inline data depends its implementation on xattr,
and to be frank, I don't run any test again inline data enabled while
xattr disabled.  So I think we should add inline data and remove this
config option in the same release.

[ The savings if you disable CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR is only 27k, which
  isn't much in the grand scheme of things.  Since no one seems to be
  testing this configuration except for some automated compile farms, on
  balance we are better removing this config option, and so that it is
  effectively always enabled. -- tytso ]

generic setattr implementation is no longer responsible for
quota transfer so synlinks must be handled via ext4_setattr.

03010a3350 ext4: Rename ext4dev to ext4
The ext4 filesystem is getting stable enough that it's time to drop
the "dev" prefix.  Also remove the requirement for the TEST_FILESYS
flag.

Move ext4 headers out of include/linux.  This is just the trivial move,
there's some more thing that could be done later.

754661f143 [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 1
Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.
