Converting page lock to new locking bitops requires a change of page flag
operation naming, so we might as well convert it to something nicer
(!TestSetPageLocked_Lock =&gt; trylock_page, SetPageLocked =&gt; set_page_locked).

This also facilitates lockdeping of page lock.

<title>jbd2: don't abort if flushing file data failed</title>

In ordered mode, the current jbd2 aborts the journal if a file data buffer
has an error.  But this behavior is unintended, and we found that it has
been adopted accidentally.

This patch undoes it and just calls printk() instead of aborting the
journal.  Unlike a similar patch for ext3/jbd, file data buffers are
written via generic_writepages().  But we also need to set AS_EIO
into their mappings because wait_on_page_writeback_range() clears
AS_EIO before a user process sees it.

This provides a new ordered mode implementation which gets rid of using
buffer heads to enforce the ordering between metadata change with the
related data chage.  Instead, in the new ordering mode, it keeps track
of all of the inodes touched by each transaction on a list, and when
that transaction is committed, it flushes all of the dirty pages for
those inodes.  In addition, the new ordered mode reverses the lock
ordering of the page lock and transaction lock, which provides easier
support for delayed allocation.

This patch adds necessary framework into JBD2 to be able to track inodes
with each transaction and write-out their dirty data during transaction
commit time.

This new ordered mode brings all sorts of advantages such as possibility 
to get rid of journal heads and buffer heads for data buffers in ordered 
mode, better ordering of writes on transaction commit, simplification of
 some JBD code, no more anonymous pages when truncate of data being 
committed happens.  Also with this new ordered mode, delayed allocation 
on ordered mode is much simpler.

Carlo Wood has demonstrated that it's possible to recover deleted
files from the journal.  Something that will make this easier is if we
can put the time of the commit into commit block.

If the device doesn't support write barriers, the write is retried
without ordered mode.  But the buffer head needs to be re-locked or
submit_bh will fail with on BUG(!buffer_locked(bh)).

Updating the current transaction's t_state is protected by j_state_lock.  We
need to do the same when updating the t_state to T_COMMIT.

<title>jbd2: fix possible journal overflow issues</title>

There are several cases where the running transaction can get buffers
added to its BJ_Metadata list which it never dirtied, which makes its
t_nr_buffers counter end up larger than its t_outstanding_credits
counter.

This will cause issues when starting new transactions as while we are
logging buffers we decrement t_outstanding_buffers, so when
t_outstanding_buffers goes negative, we will report that we need less
space in the journal than we actually need, so transactions will be
started even though there may not be enough room for them.  In the worst
case scenario (which admittedly is almost impossible to reproduce) this
will result in the journal running out of space.

The fix is to only refile buffers from the committing transaction to the
running transactions BJ_Modified list when b_modified is set on that
journal, which is the only way to be sure if the running transaction has
modified that buffer.

This patch also fixes an accounting error in journal_forget, it is
possible that we can call journal_forget on a buffer without having
modified it, only gotten write access to it, so instead of freeing a
credit, we only do so if the buffer was modified.  The assert will help
catch if this problem occurs.  Without these two patches I could hit
this assert within minutes of running postmark, with them this issue no
longer arises.

Currently at the start of a journal commit we loop through all of the buffers
on the committing transaction and clear the b_modified flag (the flag that is
set when a transaction modifies the buffer) under the j_list_lock.

The problem is that everywhere else this flag is modified only under the jbd2
lock buffer flag, so it will race with a running transaction who could
potentially set it, and have it unset by the committing transaction.

This is also a big waste, you can have several thousands of buffers that you
are clearing the modified flag on when you may not need to.  This patch
removes this code and instead clears the b_modified flag upon entering
do_get_write_access/journal_get_create_access, so if that transaction does
indeed use the buffer then it will be accounted for properly, and if it does
not then we know we didn't use it.

That will be important for the next patch in this series.  Tested thoroughly
by myself using postmark/iozone/bonnie++.
