Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o: "In addition to some ext4 bug fixes and cleanups, this cycle we add the orphan_file feature, which eliminates bottlenecks when doing a large number of parallel truncates and file deletions, and move the discard operation out of the jbd2 commit thread when using the discard mount option, to better support devices with slow discard operations" * tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4: (23 commits) ext4: make the updating inode data procedure atomic ext4: remove an unnecessary if statement in __ext4_get_inode_loc() ext4: move inode eio simulation behind io completeion ext4: Improve scalability of ext4 orphan file handling ext4: Orphan file documentation ext4: Speedup ext4 orphan inode handling ext4: Move orphan inode handling into a separate file ext4: Support for checksumming from journal triggers ext4: fix race writing to an inline_data file while its xattrs are changing jbd2: add sparse annotations for add_transaction_credits() ext4: fix sparse warnings ext4: Make sure quota files are not grabbed accidentally ext4: fix e2fsprogs checksum failure for mounted filesystem ext4: if zeroout fails fall back to splitting the extent node ext4: reduce arguments of ext4_fc_add_dentry_tlv ext4: flush background discard kwork when retry allocation ext4: get discard out of jbd2 commit kthread contex ext4: remove the repeated comment of ext4_trim_all_free ext4: add new helper interface ext4_try_to_trim_range() ext4: remove the 'group' parameter of ext4_trim_extent ...
JBD2 layer support triggers which are called when journaling layer moves buffer to a certain state. We can use the frozen trigger, which gets called when buffer data is frozen and about to be written out to the journal, to compute block checksums for some buffer types (similarly as does ocfs2). This avoids unnecessary repeated recomputation of the checksum (at the cost of larger window where memory corruption won't be caught by checksumming) and is even necessary when there are unsynchronized updaters of the checksummed data. So add superblock and journal trigger type arguments to ext4_journal_get_write_access() and ext4_journal_get_create_access() so that frozen triggers can be set accordingly. Also add inode argument to ext4_walk_page_buffers() and all the callbacks used with that function for the same purpose. This patch is mostly only a change of prototype of the above mentioned functions and a few small helpers. Real checksumming will come later.

Convert ext4 to use mapping->invalidate_lock instead of its private EXT4_I(inode)->i_mmap_sem. This is mostly search-and-replace. By this conversion we fix a long standing race between hole punching and read(2) / readahead(2) paths that can lead to stale page cache contents.

The function ext4_resize_begin() gets called from three different places, and online resize for bigalloc file systems is disallowed from the old-style online resize (EXT4_IOC_GROUP_ADD and EXT4_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND), but it *is* supposed to be allowed via EXT4_IOC_RESIZE_FS. This reverts commit e9f9f61d0cdcb7f0b0b5feb2d84aa1c5894751f3.
Two different places checked for attempts to resize a filesystem with the bigalloc feature. Move the check into ext4_resize_begin, which both places already call.

ioctl EXT4_IOC_CHECKPOINT checkpoints and flushes the journal. This includes forcing all the transactions to the log, checkpointing the transactions, and flushing the log to disk. This ioctl takes u32 "flags" as an argument. Three flags are supported. EXT4_IOC_CHECKPOINT_FLAG_DRY_RUN can be used to verify input to the ioctl. It returns error if there is any invalid input, otherwise it returns success without performing any checkpointing. The other two flags, EXT4_IOC_CHECKPOINT_FLAG_DISCARD and EXT4_IOC_CHECKPOINT_FLAG_ZEROOUT, can be used to issue requests to discard or zeroout the journal logs blocks, respectively. At this point, EXT4_IOC_CHECKPOINT_FLAG_ZEROOUT is primarily added to enable testing of this codepath on devices that don't support discard. EXT4_IOC_CHECKPOINT_FLAG_DISCARD and EXT4_IOC_CHECKPOINT_FLAG_ZEROOUT cannot both be set. Systems that wish to achieve content deletion SLO can set up a daemon that calls this ioctl at a regular interval such that it matches with the SLO requirement. Thus, with this patch, the ext4_dir_entry2 wipeout patch[1], and the Ext4 "-o discard" mount option set, Ext4 can now guarantee that all file contents, file metatdata, and filenames will not be accessible through the filesystem and will have had discard or zeroout requests issued for corresponding device blocks. The __jbd2_journal_erase function could also be used to discard or zero-fill the journal during journal load after recovery. This would provide a potential solution to a journal replay bug reported earlier this year[2]. After a successful journal recovery, e2fsck can call this ioctl to discard the journal as well.
