remove lots of IS_ERR_VALUE abuses
Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long' argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an unsigned type.
However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int' argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are 8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.
Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments.
This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE() because there are probably still architecture specific users elsewhere.
Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off using 'if (err)' or 'if (err < 0)'. The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'. For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior.
I was using this definition for testing:
#define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL && \ unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) >= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO))
which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument.
I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion (fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus asked me to send the whole thing again.
[ Updated the 9p parts as per Al Viro - Linus ]

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.

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.

writeback: remove nonblocking/encountered_congestion references
This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efef (writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks). There are no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the ext4 tracing interface.
The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on IO congestion. The latter will lead to more seeky IO.
The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check.
We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior: that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which is unfair in terms of LRU age.

make sure data is on disk before calling ->write_inode
Similar to the fsync issue fixed a while ago in commit 2daea67e966dc0c42067ebea015ddac6834cef88 we need to write for data to actually hit the disk before writing out the metadata to guarantee data integrity for filesystems that modify the inode in the data I/O completion path. Currently XFS and NFS handle this manually, and AFS has a write_inode method that does nothing but waiting for data, while others are possibly missing out on this.
Fortunately this change has a lot less impact than the fsync change as none of the write_inode methods starts data writeout of any form by itself.

vfs: Implement proper O_SYNC semantics
While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems, since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give O_DSYNC" comment. This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics. After Jan's O_SYNC patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to vfs_fsync_range and when not.
This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC flag. To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers.
This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition. Drivers and network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set. The few places setting O_SYNC for lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe.
We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path to make sure we always get these sane options.
Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op. We try to repair it by using it for the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks.
The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores).
This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).
