ocfs2_move_extent() logic will validate the goal_offset_in_block,
where extents to be moved, what's more, it also compromises a bit

Before doing the movement of extents, we'd better probe the alloc group from
'goal_blk' for searching a contiguous region to fit the wanted movement, we
even will have a best-effort try by compromising to a threshold around the
given goal.

It's a relatively complete function to accomplish defragmentation for entire
or partial extent, one journal handle was kept during the operation, it was
logically doing one more thing than ocfs2_move_extent() acutally, yes, it's
claiming the new clusters itself;-)

The moving range of __ocfs2_move_extent() was within one extent always, it
consists following parts:
1. Duplicates the clusters in pages to new_blkoffset, where extent to be moved.
2. Split the original extent with new extent, coalecse the nearby extents if possible.
3. Append old clusters to truncate log, or decrease_refcount if the extent was refcounted.

This new code is a bit more complicated than former ones, the goal is to
show user all statistics required to take a deep insight into filesystem
on how the disk is being fragmentaed.
The goal is achieved by scaning global bitmap from (cluster)group to group
to figure out following factors in the filesystem:
- How many free chunks in a fixed size as user requested.
- How many real free chunks in all size.
- Min/Max/Avg size(in) clusters of free chunks.
- How do free chunks distribute(in size) in terms of a histogram,
just like following:
---------------------------------------------------------
Extent Size Range : Free extents Free Clusters Percent
32K... 64K- : 1 1 0.00%
1M... 2M- : 9 288 0.03%
8M... 16M- : 2 831 0.09%
32M... 64M- : 1 2047 0.23%
128M... 256M- : 1 8191 0.92%
256M... 512M- : 2 21706 2.43%
512M... 1024M- : 27 858623 96.29%
---------------------------------------------------------

a 'struct ocfs2_info_freefrag' with the chunk_size being specified first.

The new code is dedicated to calculate free inodes number of all inode_allocs,
then return the info to userpace in terms of an array.
Specially, flag 'OCFS2_INFO_FL_NON_COHERENT', manipulated by '--cluster-coherent'
from userspace, is now going to be involved. setting the flag on means no cluster
coherency considered, usually, userspace tools choose none-coherency strategy by
default for the sake of performace.

Allow processes blocked on plock requests to be interrupted
when they are killed. This leaves the problem of cleaning
up the lock state in userspace. This has three parts:
1. Add a flag to unlock operations sent to userspace
indicating the file is being closed. Userspace will
then look for and clear any waiting plock operations that
were abandoned by an interrupted process.
2. Queue an unlock-close operation (like in 1) to clean up
userspace from an interrupted plock request. This is needed
because the vfs will not send a cleanup-unlock if it sees no
locks on the file, which it won't if the interrupted operation
was the only one.
3. Do not use replies from userspace for unlock-close operations
because they are unnecessary (they are just cleaning up for the
process which did not make an unlock call). This also simplifies
the new unlock-close generated from point 2.

Switch to debugging using dynamic printk (pr_debug()). There is no good reason
to carry custom debugging prints if there is so cool and powerful generic
dynamic printk infrastructure, see Documentation/dynamic-debug-howto.txt. With
dynamic printks we can switch on/of individual prints, per-file, per-function
and per format messages. This means that instead of doing old-fashioned
echo 1 > /sys/module/ubifs/parameters/debug_msgs
to enable general messages, we can do:
echo 'format "UBIFS DBG gen" +ptlf' > control
to enable general messages and additionally ask the dynamic printk
infrastructure to print process ID, line number and function name. So there is
no reason to keep UBIFS-specific crud if there is more powerful generic thing.

The deallocation code for directories in GFS2 is largely divided into
two parts. The first part deallocates any directory leaf blocks and
marks the directory as being a regular file when that is complete. The
second stage was identical to deallocating regular files.
Regular files have their data blocks in a different
address space to directories, and thus what would have been normal data
blocks in a regular file (the hash table in a GFS2 directory) were
deallocated correctly. However, a reference to these blocks was left in the
journal (assuming of course that some previous activity had resulted in
those blocks being in the journal or ail list).
This patch uses the i_depth as a test of whether the inode is an
exhash directory (we cannot test the inode type as that has already
been changed to a regular file at this stage in deallocation)

When allocating an extent that is long enough to consume the
remaining free space in an AG, we need to ensure that the allocation
leaves enough space in the AG for any subsequent bmap btree blocks
that are needed to track the new extent. These have to be allocated
in the same AG as we only reserve enough blocks in an allocation
transaction for modification of the freespace trees in a single AG.
xfs_alloc_fix_minleft() has been considering blocks on the AGFL as
free blocks available for extent and bmbt block allocation, which is
not correct - blocks on the AGFL are there exclusively for the use
of the free space btrees. As a result, when minleft is less than the
number of blocks on the AGFL, xfs_alloc_fix_minleft() does not trim
the given extent to leave minleft blocks available for bmbt
allocation, and hence we can fail allocation during bmbt record
insertion.

When we free a vmapped buffer, we need to ensure the vmap address
and length we free is the same as when it was allocated. In various
places in the log code we change the memory the buffer is pointing
to before issuing IO, but we never reset the buffer to point back to
it's original memory (or no memory, if that is the case for the
buffer).
As a result, when we free the buffer it points to memory that is
owned by something else and attempts to unmap and free it. Because
the range does not match any known mapped range, it can trigger
BUG_ON() traps in the vmap code, and potentially corrupt the vmap
area tracking.
Fix this by always resetting these buffers to their original state
before freeing them.

When the underlying inode buffer is locked and xfs_sync_inode_attr()
is doing a non-blocking flush, xfs_iflush() can return EAGAIN. When
this happens, clear the error rather than returning it to
xfs_inode_ag_walk(), as returning EAGAIN will result in the AG walk
delaying for a short while and trying again. This can result in
background walks getting stuck on the one AG until inode buffer is
unlocked by some other means.
This behaviour was noticed when analysing event traces followed by
code inspection and verification of the fix via further traces.
