As reported by Jann, ihold() does not in fact guarantee inode
persistence. And instead of making it so, replace the usage of inode
pointers with a per boot, machine wide, unique inode identifier.

This sequence number is global, but shared (file backed) futexes are
rare enough that this should not become a performance issue.

By now, bmap() will either return the physical block number related to
the requested file offset or 0 in case of error or the requested offset
maps into a hole.
This patch makes the needed changes to enable bmap() to proper return
errors, using the return value as an error return, and now, a pointer
must be passed to bmap() to be filled with the mapped physical block.

It will change the behavior of bmap() on return:

- negative value in case of error
- zero on success or map fell into a hole

In case of a hole, the *block will be zero too

Since this is a prep patch, by now, the only error return is -EINVAL if
-&gt;bmap doesn't exist.

<title>fscrypt: don't allow v1 policies with casefolding</title>

Casefolded encrypted directories will use a new dirhash method that
requires a secret key.  If the directory uses a v2 encryption policy,
it's easy to derive this key from the master key using HKDF.  However,
v1 encryption policies don't provide a way to derive additional keys.

Therefore, don't allow casefolding on directories that use a v1 policy.
Specifically, make it so that trying to enable casefolding on a
directory that has a v1 policy fails, trying to set a v1 policy on a
casefolded directory fails, and trying to open a casefolded directory
that has a v1 policy (if one somehow exists on-disk) fails.

Anything that walks all inodes on sb-&gt;s_inodes list without rescheduling
risks softlockups.

Previous efforts were made in 2 functions, see:

c27d82f fs/drop_caches.c: avoid softlockups in drop_pagecache_sb()
ac05fbb inode: don't softlockup when evicting inodes

but there hasn't been an audit of all walkers, so do that now.  This
also consistently moves the cond_resched() calls to the bottom of each
loop in cases where it already exists.

One loop remains: remove_dquot_ref(), because I'm not quite sure how
to deal with that one w/o taking the i_lock.

update_time() also has an internal function pointer
update_time. Even though this works correctly, it is
confusing to the readers.

Just use a regular if statement to call the generic
function or the function pointer.

In previous patch, an application could put part of its text section in
THP via madvise().  These THPs will be protected from writes when the
application is still running (TXTBSY).  However, after the application
exits, the file is available for writes.

This patch avoids writes to file THP by dropping page cache for the file
when the file is open for write.  A new counter nr_thps is added to struct
address_space.  In do_dentry_open(), if the file is open for write and
nr_thps is non-zero, we drop page cache for the whole file.

timespec_trunc() function is used to truncate a
filesystem timestamp to the right granularity.
But, the function does not clamp tv_sec part of the
timestamps according to the filesystem timestamp limits.

The replacement api: timestamp_truncate() also alters the
signature of the function to accommodate filesystem
timestamp clamping according to flesystem limits.

Note that the tv_nsec part is set to 0 if tv_sec is not within
the range supported for the filesystem.
