- add a proper prototype for the following global function:
- buffer_init()
- make the following needlessly global function static:
- end_buffer_async_write()

Pass amount of disk needs to be mapped to get_block(). This way one can
modify the fs ->get_block() functions to map multiple blocks at the same time.

Increase the size of the buffer_head b_size field (only) for 64 bit platforms.
Update some old and moldy comments in and around the structure as well.
The b_size increase allows us to perform larger mappings and allocations for
large I/O requests from userspace, which tie in with other changes allowing
the get_block_t() interface to map multiple blocks at once.

The return value of this function is never used, so let's be honest and
declare it as void.
Some places where invalidatepage returned 0, I have inserted comments
suggesting a BUG_ON.

The only user ignores the return value, and the only instanace
(block_sync_page) always returns 0...

This patch changes generic_cont_expand(), in order to share the code
with fatfs.
- Use vmtruncate() if ->prepare_write() returns a error.
Even if ->prepare_write() returns an error, it may already have added some
blocks. So, this truncates blocks outside of ->i_size by vmtruncate().
- Add generic_cont_expand_simple().
The generic_cont_expand_simple() assumes that ->prepare_write() can handle
the block boundary. With this, we don't need to care the extra byte.
And for expanding a file size by truncate(), fatfs uses the
added generic_cont_expand_simple().

Fix the problem (BUG 4964) with unmapped buffers in transaction's
t_sync_data list. The problem is we need to call filesystem's own
invalidatepage() from block_write_full_page().
block_write_full_page() must call filesystem's invalidatepage(). Otherwise
following nasty race can happen:
proc 1 proc 2
------ ------
- write some new data to 'offset'
=> bh gets to the transactions data list
- starts truncate
=> i_size set to new size
- mpage_writepages()
- ext3_ordered_writepage() to 'offset'
- block_write_full_page()
- page->index > end_index+1
- block_invalidatepage()
- discard_buffer()
- clear_buffer_mapped()
- commit triggers and finds unmapped buffer - BOOM!

Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
a large anonymous area.
This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)
In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.
Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally,
I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
change that to 8 later.
There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

- ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated
- missing gfp_t in fs/* added
- fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks:
XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator.
The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a
different type for those but for now let's leave them alone. That,
BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had
been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with
no way to catch misuses. Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that
immediately...
One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is
a mix of gfp_t and error indications. Left alone for now.

- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;
- replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

Use a bit spin lock in the first buffer of the page to synchronise asynch
IO buffer completions, instead of the global page_uptodate_lock, which is

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!
