<title>ext4: remove unnecessary parameter "needed" in ext4_discard_preallocations</title>

<id>2ffd2a6ad1d3a8213bb5805f45f49098fe615db1</id>
<content type='text'>
The "needed" controls the number of ext4_prealloc_space to discard in
ext4_discard_preallocations. Function ext4_discard_preallocations is
supposed to discard all non-used preallocated blocks when "needed"
is 0 and now ext4_discard_preallocations is always called with "needed"
= 0. Remove unnecessary parameter "needed" and remove all non-used
preallocated spaces in ext4_discard_preallocations to simplify the
code.

Note: If count of non-used preallocated spaces could be more than
UINT_MAX, there was a memory leak as some non-used preallocated
spaces are left ununsed and this commit will fix it. Otherwise,
there is no behavior change.

We have bdev_mark_dead() etc and we're going to move block device
freezing to holder ops in the next patch. Make the naming consistent:

* freeze_bdev() -&gt; bdev_freeze()
* thaw_bdev()   -&gt; bdev_thaw()

Also document the return code.

Currently ext4_forced_shutdown() takes struct ext4_sb_info but most
callers need to get it from struct super_block anyway. So just pass in
struct super_block to save all callers from some boilerplate code. No
functional changes.
