Commit 9293fcfbc1812a22ad5ce1b542eb90c1bbe01be1
("udf: Remove struct ustr as non-needed intermediate storage"),
while getting rid of 'struct ustr', does not take any special care
of 'dstring' fields and effectively use fixed field length instead
of actual string length, encoded in the last byte of the field.

Also, commit 484a10f49387e4386bf2708532e75bf78ffea2cb
("udf: Merge linux specific translation into CS0 conversion function")
introduced checking of the length of the string being converted,
requiring proper alignment to number of bytes constituing each
character.

The UDF volume identifier is represented as a 32-bytes 'dstring',
and needs to be converted from CS0 to UTF8, while mounting UDF
filesystem. The changes in mentioned commits can in some cases
lead to incorrect handling of volume identifier:
- if the actual string in 'dstring' is of maximal length and
does not have zero bytes separating it from dstring encoded
length in last byte, that last byte may be included in conversion,
thus making incorrect resulting string;
- if the identifier is encoded with 2-bytes characters (compression
code is 16), the length of 31 bytes (32 bytes of field length minus
1 byte of compression code), taken as the string length, is reported
as an incorrect (unaligned) length, and the conversion fails, which
in its turn leads to volume mounting failure.

This patch introduces handling of 'dstring' encoded length field
in udf_CS0toUTF8 function, that is used in all and only cases
when 'dstring' fields are converted. Currently these cases are
processing of Volume Identifier and Volume Set Identifier fields.
The function is also renamed to udf_dstrCS0toUTF8 to distinctly
indicate that it handles 'dstring' input.

<title>mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros</title>

<content type='text'>
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Current implementation of udf_translate_to_linux function does not
support multi-bytes characters at all: it counts bytes while calculating
extension length, when inserting CRC inside the name it doesn't
take into account inter-character boundaries and can break into
the middle of the character.

The most efficient way to properly support multi-bytes characters is
merging of translation operations directly into conversion function.
This can help to avoid extra passes along the string or parsing
the multi-bytes character back into unicode to find out it's length.

Although 'struct ustr' tries to structurize the data by combining
the string and its length, it doesn't actually make much benefit,
since it saves only one parameter, but introduces an extra copying
of the whole buffer, serving as an intermediate storage. It looks
quite inefficient and not actually needed.

This commit gets rid of the struct ustr by changing the parameters
of some functions appropriately.

Also, it removes using 'dstring' type, since it doesn't make much
sense too.

Just using the occasion, add a 'const' qualifier to udf_get_filename
to make consistent parameters sets.

Code in udf_find_entry() and udf_readdir() used the same buffer for
storing filename that was split among blocks and for the resulting
filename in utf8. This worked because udf_get_filename() first
internally copied the name into a different buffer and only then
performed a conversion into the destination buffer. However we want to
get rid of intermediate buffers so use separate buffer for converted
name and name split between blocks so that we don't have the same source
and destination buffer when converting split names.

<title>udf: Adjust UDF_NAME_LEN to better reflect actual restrictions</title>

<content type='text'>
Actual name length restriction is 254 bytes, this is used in 'ustr'
structure, and this is what fits into UDF File Ident structures.
And in most cases the constant is used as UDF_NAME_LEN-2.
So, it's better to just modify the constant to make it closer
to reality.

Also, in some cases it's useful to have a separate constant for
the maximum length of file name field in CS0 encoding in UDF File
Ident structures.

Also, remove the unused UDF_PATH_LEN constant.

There is no much sense to have separate functions for UTF8 and
NLS conversions, since UTF8 encoding is actually the special case
of NLS.

However, although UTF8 is also supported by general NLS framework,
it would be good to have separate UTF8 character conversion functions
(char2uni and uni2char) locally in UDF code, so that they could be
used even if NLS support is not enabled in the kernel configuration.

Make the desired output length a parameter rather than have it

this length the same, this parameterization will make the function
more universal and also consistent with udf_get_filename.

There are many locations that do

  if (memory_was_allocated_by_vmalloc)
    vfree(ptr);
  else
    kfree(ptr);

but kvfree() can handle both kmalloc()ed memory and vmalloc()ed memory
using is_vmalloc_addr().  Unless callers have special reasons, we can
replace this branch with kvfree().  Please check and reply if you found
problems.

There are many locations that do

  if (memory_was_allocated_by_vmalloc)
    vfree(ptr);
  else
    kfree(ptr);

but kvfree() can handle both kmalloc()ed memory and vmalloc()ed memory
using is_vmalloc_addr().  Unless callers have special reasons, we can
replace this branch with kvfree().  Please check and reply if you found
problems.
