Revert commit 6de9843dab3f2a1d4d66d80aa9e5782f80977d20, since it
caused a data corruption regression with BitTorrent downloads.  Thanks
to Damien for discovering and bisecting to find the problem commit.

We can create 4402345721856 byte file with indirect block mapping.
However, if we grow an indirect-block file to the size with ftruncate(),
we can see an ext4 warning. The following patch fixes this problem.

How to reproduce:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/hoge bs=1 count=0 seek=4402345721856
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.000221428 s, 0.0 kB/s
# tail -n 1 /var/log/messages

<title>ext4: sync the directory inode in ext4_sync_parent()</title>

ext4 has taken the stance that, in the absence of a journal,
when an fsync/fdatasync of an inode is done, the parent
directory should be sync'ed if this inode entry is new.
ext4_sync_parent(), which implements this, does indeed sync
the dirent pages for parent directories, but it does not
sync the directory *inode*.  This patch fixes this.

Also now return error status from ext4_sync_parent().

I tested this using a power fail test, which panics a
machine running a file server getting requests from a
client.  Without this patch, on about every other test run,
the server is missing many, many files that had been synced.
With this patch, on &gt; 6 runs, I see zero files being lost.

<title>ext4: init timer earlier to avoid a kernel panic in __save_error_info</title>

During mount, when we fail to open journal inode or root inode, the
__save_error_info will mod_timer. But actually s_err_report isn't
initialized yet and the kernel oops. The detailed information can
be found https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32082.

The best way is to check whether the timer s_err_report is initialized
or not. But it seems that in include/linux/timer.h, we can't find a
good function to check the status of this timer, so this patch just
move the initializtion of s_err_report earlier so that we can avoid
the kernel panic. The corresponding del_timer is also added in the
error path.

<title>ext4: fix a double free in ext4_register_li_request</title>

<content type='text'>
In ext4_register_li_request, we malloc a ext4_li_request and
inserts it into ext4_li_info-&gt;li_request_list. In case of any
error later, we free it in the end.  But if we have some error
in ext4_run_lazyinit_thread, the whole li_request_list will be
dropped and freed in it. So we will double free this ext4_li_request.

This patch just sets elr to NULL after it is inserted to the list
so that the latter kfree won't double free it.

When writing a contiguous set of blocks, two indirect blocks could be
needed depending on how the blocks are aligned, so we need to increase
the number of credits needed by one.

[ Also fixed a another bug which could further underestimate the
  number of journal credits needed by 1; the code was using integer
  division instead of DIV_ROUND_UP() -- tytso]

It is not necessary to update [cm]time of quota file on each quota
file write and it wastes journal space and IO throughput with inode
writes. So just remove the updating from ext4_quota_write() and only
update times when quotas are being turned off. Userspace cannot get
anything reliable from quota files while they are used by the kernel
anyway.
