As Al Viro pointed out path resolution during Q_QUOTAON calls to quotactl
is prone to deadlocks. We hold s_umount semaphore for reading during the
path resolution and resolution itself may need to acquire the semaphore
for writing when e. g. autofs mountpoint is passed.

Solve the problem by performing the resolution before we get hold of the
superblock (and thus s_umount semaphore). The whole thing is complicated
by the fact that some filesystems (OCFS2) ignore the path argument. So to
distinguish between filesystem which want the path and which do not we
introduce new .quota_on_meta callback which does not get the path. OCFS2
then uses this callback instead of old .quota_on.

<content type='text'>
The addition of 64k block capability in the rec_len_from_disk
and rec_len_to_disk functions added a bit of math overhead which
slows down file create workloads needlessly when the architecture
cannot even support 64k blocks, thanks to page size limits.

Similar changes already exist in the ext4 codebase.

The directory entry checking can also be optimized a bit
by sprinkling in some unlikely() conditions to move the
error handling out of line.

bonnie++ sequential file creates on a 512MB ramdisk speeds up
from about 77,000/s to about 82,000/s, about a 6% improvement.

<title>ext3: Add FITRIM handling</title>

<content type='text'>
The ioctl takes fstrim_range structure (defined in include/linux/fs.h) as an
argument specifying a range of filesystem to trim and the minimum size of an
continguous extent to trim. After the FITRIM is done, the number of bytes
passed from the filesystem down the block stack to the device for potential
discard is stored in fstrim_range.len.  This number is a maximum discard amount
from the storage device's perspective, because FITRIM called repeatedly will
keep sending the same sectors for discard.  fstrim_range.len will report the
same potential discard bytes each time, but only sectors which had been written
to between the discards would actually be discarded by the storage device.
Further, the kernel block layer reserves the right to adjust the discard ranges
to fit raid stripe geometry, non-trim capable devices in a LVM setup, etc.
These reductions would not be reflected in fstrim_range.len.

Thus fstrim_range.len can give the user better insight on how much storage
space has potentially been released for wear-leveling, but it needs to be one
of only one criteria the userspace tools take into account when trying to
optimize calls to FITRIM.

Thanks to Greg Freemyer &lt;greg.freemyer@gmail.com&gt; for better commit message.
