We were already filling the Linux struct statfs anyway, and doing this
trivial task directly in xfs_fs_statfs makes the code quite a bit cleaner.
While I was at it I also moved copying attributes that don't change over
the lifetime of the filesystem outside the superblock lock.
xfs_fs_fill_super used to get the magic number and blocksize through
xfs_statvfs, but assigning them directly is a lot cleaner and will save
some stack space during mount.

This was broken by my '[XFS] simplify xfs_create/mknod/symlink prototype',
which assigned the re-shuffled ondisk dev_t back to the rdev variable in
xfs_vn_mknod. Because of that i_rdev is set to the ondisk dev_t instead of
the linux dev_t later down the function.
Fortunately the fix for it is trivial: we can just remove the assignment
because xfs_revalidate_inode has done the proper job before unlocking the

On last close of a file we purge blocks beyond eof. The same code is used
when we truncate the file size down. In this case we need to wait for any
pending I/Os for dirty pages beyond the new eof. For the last close case
we are not changing the file size and therefore do not need to wait for
any I/Os to complete. This fixes a performance bottleneck where writes
into the page cache and cache flushes can become mutually exclusive.

The radix tree based inode caches did away with the inode cluster hashes,
replacing them with a bunch of masking and gang lookups on the radix tree.
This masking got broken when moving the code to per-ag radix trees and
indexing by agino # rather than straight inode number. The result is
clustered inode writeback does not cluster and things can go extremely
slowly when there are lots of inodes to write.
Fix it up by comparing the agino # of the inode we just looked up to the
index of the cluster we are looking for.

- calculation of 'page_count' was incorrect as it did not
consider the offset of 'mem' into the first page. The
logic to bump 'page_count' didn't work if 'len' was <=
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE (ie offset = 3k, len = 2k).
- setting b_buffer_length to 'len' is incorrect if 'offset'
is > 0. Set it to the total length of the buffer.
- I suspect that passing a non-aligned address into
mem_to_page() for the first page may have been causing
issues - don't know but just tidy up that code anyway.

- sanity check for NULL user buffer in xfs_ioc_bulkstat[_compat]()
- remove the special case for XFS_IOC_FSBULKSTAT with count == 1. This
special case causes bulkstat to fail because the special case uses
xfs_bulkstat_single() instead of xfs_bulkstat() and the two functions
have different semantics. xfs_bulkstat() will return the next inode
after the one supplied while skipping internal inodes (ie quota inodes).
xfs_bulkstate_single() will only lookup the inode supplied and return
an error if it is an internal inode.
- in xfs_bulkstat(), need to initialise 'lastino' to the inode supplied
so in cases were we return without examining any inodes the scan wont
restart back at zero.
- sanity check for valid *ubcountp values. Cannot sanity check for valid
ubuffer here because some users of xfs_bulkstat() don't supply a buffer.
- checks against 'ubleft' (the space left in the user's buffer) should be
against 'statstruct_size' which is the supplied minimum object size.
The mixture of checks against statstruct_size and 0 was one of the
reasons we were skipping inodes.
- if the formatter function returns BULKSTAT_RV_NOTHING and an error and
the error is not ENOENT or EINVAL then we need to abort the scan. ENOENT
is for inodes that are no longer valid and we just skip them. EINVAL is
returned if we try to lookup an internal inode so we skip them too. For
a DMF scan if the inode and DMF attribute cannot fit into the space left
in the user's buffer it would return ERANGE. We didn't handle this error
and skipped the inode. We would continue to skip inodes until one fitted
into the user's buffer or we completed the scan.
- put back the recalculation of agino (that got removed with the last fix)
at the end of the while loop. This is because the code at the start of
the loop expects agino to be the last inode examined if it is non-zero.
- if we found some inodes but then encountered an error, return success
this time and the error next time. If the formatter aborted with ENOMEM
we will now return this error but only if we couldn't read any inodes.
Previously if we encountered ENOMEM without reading any inodes we
returned a zero count and no error which falsely indicated the scan was
complete.

More debug efforts show that __block_write_full_page()
never has the chance to call submit_bh() for that big dirty file:
the buffer head is *clean*. So basicly no page io is issued by
__block_write_full_page(), hence pages_skipped goes up.
Also the comment in generic_sync_sb_inodes():
544 /*
545 * writeback is not making progress due to locked
546 * buffers. Skip this inode for now.
547 */
and the comment in __block_write_full_page():
1713 /*
1714 * The page was marked dirty, but the buffers were
1715 * clean. Someone wrote them back by hand with
1716 * ll_rw_block/submit_bh. A rare case.
1717 */
do not quite agree with each other. The page writeback should be skipped for
'locked buffer', but here it is 'clean buffer'!
This patch fixes this bug. Though I'm not sure why __block_write_full_page()
is called only to do nothing and who actually issued the writeback for us.
This is the two possible new behaviors after the patch:
1) pretty nice: wait 30s and write ALL:)
2) not so good:
- during the dd: ~16M
- after 30s: ~4M
- after 5s: ~4M
- after 5s: ~176M
The next patch will fix case (2).

Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used. And
the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions. The object
pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.
Convert
ctor(void *object, struct kmem_cache *s, unsigned long flags)
to
ctor(struct kmem_cache *s, void *object)
throughout the kernel

XFS leaves stray mappings around when it vmaps memory to make it virtually
contigious. This upsets Xen if one of those pages is being recycled into a
pagetable, since it finds an extra writable mapping of the page.
This patch solves the problem in a brute force way, by making XFS always
eagerly unmap its mappings.

Stop using xfs_getattr and a onstack bhv_vattr_t just to get three fields
from the underlying inode and opencode copying from the inode fields
instead.

Because we cherrypicked SGI-Modid xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:29675a
and it depended on the sgi mod which removed io_vnode (which was
not cherrypicked in 23) it was hand modified.
This fixes things back up (to the originial mod) now we have moved
on again.
