In ntfs_mft_record_alloc() when mapping the new extent mft record with
map_extent_mft_record() we overwrite @m with the return value and on
error, we then try to use the old @m but that is no longer there as @m
now contains an error code instead so we crash when dereferencing the
error code as if it were a pointer.
The simple fix is to use a temporary variable to store the return value
thus preserving the original @m for later use. This is a backport from
the commercial Tuxera-NTFS driver and is well tested...
Thanks go to Julia Lawall for pointing this out (whilst I had fixed it
in the commercial driver I had failed to fix it in the Linux kernel).

Fix writev() to not keep writing the first segment over and over again
instead of moving onto subsequent segments and update the NTFS entry in
MAINTAINERS to reflect that Tuxera Inc. now supports the NTFS driver.

Big thanks go to Mathias Kolehmainen for reporting the bug, providing
debug output and testing the patches I sent him to get it working.
The fix was to stop calling ntfs_attr_set() at mount time as that causes
balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() to be called which on systems with
little memory actually tries to go and balance the dirty pages which tries
to take the s_umount semaphore but because we are still in fill_super()
across which the VFS holds s_umount for writing this results in a
deadlock.
We now do the dirty work by hand by submitting individual buffers. This
has the annoying "feature" that mounting can take a few seconds if the
journal is large as we have clear it all. One day someone should improve
on this by deferring the journal clearing to a helper kernel thread so it
can be done in the background but I don't have time for this at the moment
and the current solution works fine so I am leaving it like this for now.

- Fix deadlock in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_put_inode(). Thanks to Sergey
Vlasov for the report and detailed analysis of the deadlock. The fix
involved getting rid of ntfs_put_inode() altogether and hence NTFS no
longer has a ->put_inode super operation.

file operations ->write(), ->aio_write(), and ->writev() for regular
files. This replaces the old use of generic_file_write(), et al and
the address space operations ->prepare_write and ->commit_write.
This means that both sparse and non-sparse (unencrypted and
uncompressed) files can now be extended using the normal write(2)
code path. There are two limitations at present and these are that
we never create sparse files and that we only have limited support
for highly fragmented files, i.e. ones whose data attribute is split
across multiple extents. When such a case is encountered,
EOPNOTSUPP is returned.

The situation: VFS inode X on a mounted ntfs volume is dirty. For
same inode X, the ntfs_inode is dirty and thus corresponding on-disk
inode, i.e. mft record, which is in a dirty PAGE_CACHE_PAGE belonging
to the table of inodes, i.e. $MFT, inode 0.
What happens:
Process 1: sys_sync()/umount()/whatever... calls
__sync_single_inode() for $MFT -> do_writepages() -> write_page for
the dirty page containing the on-disk inode X, the page is now locked
-> ntfs_write_mst_block() which clears PageUptodate() on the page to
prevent anyone else getting hold of it whilst it does the write out.
This is necessary as the on-disk inode needs "fixups" applied before
the write to disk which are removed again after the write and
PageUptodate is then set again. It then analyses the page looking
for dirty on-disk inodes and when it finds one it calls
ntfs_may_write_mft_record() to see if it is safe to write this
on-disk inode. This then calls ilookup5() to check if the
corresponding VFS inode is in icache(). This in turn calls ifind()
which waits on the inode lock via wait_on_inode whilst holding the
global inode_lock.
Process 2: pdflush results in a call to __sync_single_inode for the
same VFS inode X on the ntfs volume. This locks the inode (I_LOCK)
then calls write-inode -> ntfs_write_inode -> map_mft_record() ->
read_cache_page() for the page (in page cache of table of inodes
$MFT, inode 0) containing the on-disk inode. This page has
PageUptodate() clear because of Process 1 (see above) so
read_cache_page() blocks when it tries to take the page lock for the
page so it can call ntfs_read_page().
Thus Process 1 is holding the page lock on the page containing the
on-disk inode X and it is waiting on the inode X to be unlocked in
ifind() so it can write the page out and then unlock the page.
And Process 2 is holding the inode lock on inode X and is waiting for
the page to be unlocked so it can call ntfs_readpage() or discover
that Process 1 set PageUptodate() again and use the page.
Thus we have a deadlock due to ifind() waiting on the inode lock.
The solution: The fix is to use the newly introduced
ilookup5_nowait() which does not wait on the inode's lock and hence
avoids the deadlock. This is safe as we do not care about the VFS
inode and only use the fact that it is in the VFS inode cache and the
fact that the vfs and ntfs inodes are one struct in memory to find
the ntfs inode in memory if present. Also, the ntfs inode has its
own locking so it does not matter if the vfs inode is locked.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
