<title>ext4: don't track ranges in fast_commit if inode has inlined data</title>

<content type='text'>
When fast-commit needs to track ranges, it has to handle inodes that have
inlined data in a different way because ext4_fc_write_inode_data(), in the
actual commit path, will attempt to map the required blocks for the range.
However, inodes that have inlined data will have it's data stored in
inode-&gt;i_block and, eventually, in the extended attribute space.

Unfortunately, because fast commit doesn't currently support extended
attributes, the solution is to mark this commit as ineligible.

In the fast commit code there are a few places where tid_t variables are
being compared without taking into account the fact that these sequence
numbers may wrap.  Fix this issue by using the helper functions tid_gt()
and tid_geq().

Instead of checksumming each field as it is added to the block, just
checksum each block before it is written.  This is simpler, and also
much more efficient.

<title>ext4: fix off-by-one errors in fast-commit block filling</title>

<content type='text'>
Due to several different off-by-one errors, or perhaps due to a late
change in design that wasn't fully reflected in the code that was
actually merged, there are several very strange constraints on how
fast-commit blocks are filled with tlv entries:

- tlvs must start at least 10 bytes before the end of the block, even
  though the minimum tlv length is 8.  Otherwise, the replay code will
  ignore them.  (BUG: ext4_fc_reserve_space() could violate this
  requirement if called with a len of blocksize - 9 or blocksize - 8.
  Fortunately, this doesn't seem to happen currently.)

- tlvs must end at least 1 byte before the end of the block.  Otherwise
  the replay code will consider them to be invalid.  This quirk
  contributed to a bug (fixed by an earlier commit) where uninitialized
  memory was being leaked to disk in the last byte of blocks.

Also, strangely these constraints don't apply to the replay code in
e2fsprogs, which will accept any tlvs in the blocks (with no bounds
checks at all, but that is a separate issue...).

Given that this all seems to be a bug, let's fix it by just filling
blocks with tlv entries in the natural way.

Note that old kernels will be unable to replay fast-commit journals
created by kernels that have this commit.
