We do not need to writeout modified directory blocks immediately when
modifying them while the page is locked. It is enough to do the flush
somewhat later which has the added benefit that inode times can be
flushed as well. It also allows us to stop depending on
write_one_page() function.

Ported from an ext2 patch by Jan Kara.

If minix_prepare_chunk fails, updating c/mtime and marking the
dir inode dirty is wrong, as the inode hasn't been modified.  Also
propagate the error to the caller.

Note that this moves the dir_put_page call later, but that matches
other uses of this helper in the directory code.

Instead of consuming the page reference and kmap in the low-level
minix_delete_entry and minix_set_link helpers, do it in the callers
where that code can be shared with the error cleanup path.

<title>fs: port inode_init_owner() to mnt_idmap</title>

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.
