fs: add sync_inode_metadata

Add a new helper to write out the inode using the writeback code,
that is including the correct dirty bit and list manipulation. A few
of filesystems already opencode this, and a lot of others should be
using it instead of using write_inode_now which also writes out the
data.

There are also no users of the cache entry free operation, and none of

well.

ext2: Add ext2_sb_info s_lock spinlock

Add a spinlock that protects against concurrent modifications of
s_mount_state, s_blocks_last, s_overhead_last and the content of the
superblock's buffer pointed to by sbi->s_es. The spinlock is now used in
ext2_xattr_update_super_block() which was setting the
EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_EXT_ATTR flag on the superblock without protection
before. Likewise the spinlock is used in ext2_show_options() to have a
consistent view of the mount options.

This is a preparation patch for removing the BKL from ext2 in the next
patch.

dquot: cleanup space allocation / freeing routines

Get rid of the alloc_space, free_space, reserve_space, claim_space and
release_rsv dquot operations - they are always called from the filesystem
and if a filesystem really needs their own (which none currently does)
it can just call into it's own routine directly.

Move shared logic into the common __dquot_alloc_space,
dquot_claim_space_nodirty and __dquot_free_space low-level methods,
and rationalize the wrappers around it to move as much as possible
code into the common block for CONFIG_QUOTA vs not. Also rename
all these helpers to be named dquot_* instead of vfs_dq_*.

sanitize xattr handler prototypes

Add a flags argument to struct xattr_handler and pass it to all xattr
handler methods. This allows using the same methods for multiple
handlers, e.g. for the ACL methods which perform exactly the same action
for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying
attribute. With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the
methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and
jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch.

Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow
using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later,
e.g. cifs.

vfs: fix possible deadlock in ext2, ext3, ext4 when using xattrs

mb_cache_entry_alloc() was allocating cache entries with GFP_KERNEL. But

recursion into the fs violates locking ordering of xattr_sem and transaction
start / i_mutex for ext2-4. Change mb_cache_entry_alloc() so that filesystems
can specify desired gfp mask and use GFP_NOFS from all of them.

[PATCH] fix deadlock in ext2

Fix a deadlock possible in the ext2 file system implementation. This
deadlock occurs when a file is removed from an ext2 file system which was
mounted with the "sync" mount option.

The problem is that ext2_xattr_delete_inode() was invoking the routine,
sync_dirty_buffer(), using a buffer head which was previously locked via
lock_buffer(). The first thing that sync_dirty_buffer() does is to lock
the buffer head that it was passed. It does this via lock_buffer(). Oops.

The solution is to unlock the buffer head in ext2_xattr_delete_inode()
before invoking sync_dirty_buffer(). This makes the code in
ext2_xattr_delete_inode() obey the same locking rules as all other callers
of sync_dirty_buffer() in the ext2 file system implementation.
