commit d31d07b97a5e76f41e00eb81dcca740e84aa7782 upstream.

Commit e450f4d1a5d6 ("ceph: pass inclusive lend parameter to
filemap_write_and_wait_range()") fixed the end offset parameter used to
call filemap_write_and_wait_range and invalidate_inode_pages2_range.
Unfortunately it missed truncate_inode_pages_range, introducing a
regression that is easily detected by xfstest generic/130.

The problem is that when doing direct IO it is possible that an extra page
is truncated from the page cache when the end offset is page aligned.
This can cause data loss if that page hasn't been sync'ed to the OSDs.

While there, change code to use PAGE_ALIGN macro instead.

We have three workqueue for inode works. Later patch will introduce
one more work for inode. It's not good to introcuce more workqueue
and add more 'struct work_struct' to 'struct ceph_inode_info'.

<title>ceph: add destination file data sync before doing any remote copy</title>

If we try to copy into a file that was just written, any data that is
remote copied will be overwritten by our buffered writes once they are
flushed.  When this happens, the call to invalidate_inode_pages2_range
will also return a -EBUSY error.

This patch fixes this by also sync'ing the destination file before
starting any copy.

In the iov_iter struct, separate the iterator type from the iterator
direction and use accessor functions to access them in most places.

Convert a bunch of places to use switch-statements to access them rather
then chains of bitwise-AND statements.  This makes it easier to add further
iterator types.  Also, this can be more efficient as to implement a switch
of small contiguous integers, the compiler can use ~50% fewer compare
instructions than it has to use bitwise-and instructions.

Further, cease passing the iterator type into the iterator setup function.
The iterator function can set that itself.  Only the direction is required.

Use accessor functions to access an iterator's type and direction.  This
allows for the possibility of using some other method of determining the
type of iterator than if-chains with bitwise-AND conditions.
