nilfs2: fix potential use after free in nilfs_gccache_submit_read_data()

In nilfs_gccache_submit_read_data(), brelse(bh) is called to drop the
reference count of bh when the call to nilfs_dat_translate() fails. If
the reference count hits 0 and its owner page gets unlocked, bh may be
freed. However, bh->b_page is dereferenced to put the page after that,
which may result in a use-after-free bug. This patch moves the release
operation after unlocking and putting the page.

NOTE: The function in question is only called in GC, and in combination
with current userland tools, address translation using DAT does not occur
in that function, so the code path that causes this issue will not be
executed. However, it is possible to run that code path by intentionally
modifying the userland GC library or by calling the GC ioctl directly.

nilfs2: fix lockdep warnings in page operations for btree nodes

Patch series "nilfs2 lockdep warning fixes".

The first two are to resolve the lockdep warning issue, and the last one
is the accompanying cleanup and low priority.

Based on your comment, this series solves the issue by separating inode
object as needed. Since I was worried about the impact of the object
composition changes, I tested the series carefully not to cause
regressions especially for delicate functions such like disk space
reclamation and snapshots.

This patch (of 3):

If CONFIG_LOCKDEP is enabled, nilfs2 hits lockdep warnings at
inode_to_wb() during page/folio operations for btree nodes:

This is because nilfs2 uses two page caches for each inode and
inode->i_mapping never points to one of them, the btree node cache.

This causes inode_to_wb(inode) to refer to a different page cache than
the caller page/folio operations such like __folio_start_writeback(),
__folio_end_writeback(), or __folio_mark_dirty() acquired the lock.

This patch resolves the issue by allocating and using an additional
inode to hold the page cache of btree nodes. The inode is attached
one-to-one to the traditional nilfs2 inode if it requires a block
mapping with b-tree. This setup change is in memory only and does not
affect the disk format.

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.

nilfs2: ensure proper cache clearing for gc-inodes

A gc-inode is a pseudo inode used to buffer the blocks to be moved by
garbage collection.

Block caches of gc-inodes must be cleared every time a garbage collection
function (nilfs_clean_segments) completes. Otherwise, stale blocks
buffered in the caches may be wrongly reused in successive calls of the GC
function.

For user files, this is not a problem because their gc-inodes are
distinguished by a checkpoint number as well as an inode number. They
never buffer different blocks if either an inode number, a checkpoint
number, or a block offset differs.

However, gc-inodes of sufile, cpfile and DAT file can store different data
for the same block offset. Thus, the nilfs_clean_segments function can
move incorrect block for these meta-data files if an old block is cached.
I found this is really causing meta-data corruption in nilfs.

This fixes the issue by ensuring cache clear of gc-inodes and resolves
reported GC problems including checkpoint file corruption, b-tree
corruption, and the following warning during GC.

nilfs_palloc_freev: entry number 307234 already freed.

Before 2.6.37, referring to a nilfs object from inodes needed a

But now we can simply do it by going through a super block instance
like inode->i_sb->s_fs_info.

nilfs2: fix regression of garbage collection ioctl

nilfs2: fix regression of garbage collection ioctl

On 2.6.37-rc1, garbage collection ioctl of nilfs was broken due to the
commit 263d90cefc7d82a0 ("nilfs2: remove own inode hash used for GC"),
and leading to filesystem corruption.

The patch doesn't queue gc-inodes for log writer if they are reused
through the vfs inode cache. Here, gc-inode is the inode which
buffers blocks to be relocated on GC. That patch queues gc-inodes in
nilfs_init_gcinode() function, but this function is not called when
they don't have I_NEW flag. Thus, some of live blocks are wrongly
overrode without being moved to new logs.

This resolves the problem by moving the gc-inode queueing to an outer
function to ensure it's done right.

nilfs2: do not allocate nilfs_mdt_info structure to gc-inodes

GC-inode now doesn't need the nilfs_mdt_info structure and there is no
reason that it is a sort of metadata files.

This stops the allocation and makes them not dependent on metadata
file routines.

nilfs2: add read ahead mode to nilfs_btnode_submit_block

This adds mode argument to nilfs_btnode_submit_block() function and
allows it to issue a read-ahead request.

An optional submit_ptr argument is also added to store the actual
block address for which bio is sent. submit_ptr is used for a series
of read-ahead requests, and helps to decide if each requested block is
continous to the previous one on disk.
