Currently the ceph client doesn't respect the rlimit in fallocate.  This
means that a user can allocate a file with size &gt; RLIMIT_FSIZE.  This
patch adds the call to inode_newsize_ok() to verify filesystem limits and
ulimits.  This should make ceph successfully run xfstest generic/228.

Pull ceph updates from Ilya Dryomov:
 "The two main items are support for disabling automatic rbd exclusive
  lock transfers from myself and the long awaited -ENOSPC handling
  series from Jeff.

  The former will allow rbd users to take advantage of exclusive lock's
  built-in blacklist/break-lock functionality while staying in control
  of who owns the lock. With the latter in place, we will abort
  filesystem writes on -ENOSPC instead of having them block
  indefinitely.

  Beyond that we've got the usual pile of filesystem fixes from Zheng,
  some refcount_t conversion patches from Elena and a patch for an
  ancient open() flags handling bug from Alexander"

* tag 'ceph-for-4.12-rc1' of git://github.com/ceph/ceph-client: (31 commits)

<title>treewide: use kv[mz]alloc* rather than opencoded variants</title>

There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc.  Let's use the helper
instead.  The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are
usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator.  E.g.
allocation requests &lt;= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing
and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation.  This sounds too
disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc.
On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the
memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction
attempts previously.  There is no guarantee something like that happens
though.

This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because
they are more conservative.

<title>ceph: fix file open flags on ppc64</title>

The file open flags (O_foo) are platform specific and should never go
out to an interface that is not local to the system.

Unfortunately these flags have leaked out onto the wire in the cephfs
implementation. That lead to bogus flags getting transmitted on ppc64.

This patch converts the kernel view of flags to the ceph view of file
open flags.

Currently, we don't have a real feedback mechanism in place for when we
start seeing buffered writeback errors. If writeback is failing, there
is nothing that prevents an application from continuing to dirty pages
that aren't being cleaned.

In the event that we're seeing write errors of any sort occur on an
inode, have the callback set a flag to force further writes to be
synchronous. When the next write succeeds, clear the flag to allow
buffered writeback to continue.

Since this is just a hint to the write submission mechanism, we only
take the i_ceph_lock when a lockless check shows that the flag needs to
be changed.

<title>libceph: allow requests to return immediately on full conditions if caller wishes</title>

Usually, when the osd map is flagged as full or the pool is at quota,
write requests just hang. This is not what we want for cephfs, where
it would be better to simply report -ENOSPC back to userland instead
of stalling.

If the caller knows that it will want an immediate error return instead
of blocking on a full or at-quota error condition then allow it to set a
flag to request that behavior.

Set that flag in ceph_osdc_new_request (since ceph.ko is the only caller),
and on any other write request from ceph.ko.

A later patch will deal with requests that were submitted before the new
map showing the full condition came in.

struct ceph_mds_request has an r_locked_dir pointer, which is set to
indicate the parent inode and that its i_rwsem is locked.  In some
critical places, we need to be able to indicate the parent inode to the
request handling code, even when its i_rwsem may not be locked.

Most of the code that operates on r_locked_dir doesn't require that the
i_rwsem be locked. We only really need it to handle manipulation of the
dcache. The rest (filling of the inode, updating dentry leases, etc.)
already has its own locking.

Add a new r_req_flags bit that indicates whether the parent is locked
when doing the request, and rename the pointer to "r_parent". For now,
all the places that set r_parent also set this flag, but that will
change in a later patch.
