Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o:
"Lots of bug fixes, cleanups and optimizations. In the bug fixes
category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the
block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks
on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or
ia64 systems.)

In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was
significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc
file systems. In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the
write submission code path. We also improved error checking and added
a few sanity checks.

In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve
mention. The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for
nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode. This allows writes to be
submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of
being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then
relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block
queue). Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was
introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the
i_es_lru spinlock. Other optimizations include some changes to reduce
CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily."

jbd2: invalidate handle if jbd2_journal_restart() fails

If jbd2_journal_restart() fails the handle will have been disconnected
from the current transaction. In this situation, the handle must not
be used for for any jbd2 function other than jbd2_journal_stop().
Enforce this with by treating a handle which has a NULL transaction
pointer as an aborted handle, and issue a kernel warning if
jbd2_journal_extent(), jbd2_journal_get_write_access(),
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), etc. is called with an invalid handle.

This commit also fixes a bug where jbd2_journal_stop() would trip over
a kernel jbd2 assertion check when trying to free an invalid handle.

Also move the responsibility of setting current->journal_info to
start_this_handle(), simplifying the three users of this function.

jbd2: fix theoretical race in jbd2__journal_restart

Once we decrement transaction->t_updates, if this is the last handle
holding the transaction from closing, and once we release the
t_handle_lock spinlock, it's possible for the transaction to commit
and be released. In practice with normal kernels, this probably won't
happen, since the commit happens in a separate kernel thread and it's
unlikely this could all happen within the space of a few CPU cycles.

On the other hand, with a real-time kernel, this could potentially
happen, so save the tid found in transaction->t_tid before we release
t_handle_lock. It would require an insane configuration, such as one
where the jbd2 thread was set to a very high real-time priority,
perhaps because a high priority real-time thread is trying to read or
write to a file system. But some people who use real-time kernels
have been known to do insane things, including controlling
laser-wielding industrial robots. :-)

jbd2: transaction reservation support

In some cases we cannot start a transaction because of locking
constraints and passing started transaction into those places is not
handy either because we could block transaction commit for too long.
Transaction reservation is designed to solve these issues. It
reserves a handle with given number of credits in the journal and the
handle can be later attached to the running transaction without
blocking on commit or checkpointing. Reserved handles do not block
transaction commit in any way, they only reduce maximum size of the
running transaction (because we have to always be prepared to
accomodate request for attaching reserved handle).

jbd2: fix race in t_outstanding_credits update in jbd2_journal_extend()

jbd2_journal_extend() first checked whether transaction can accept
extending handle with more credits and then added credits to
t_outstanding_credits. This can race with start_this_handle() adding
another handle to a transaction and thus overbooking a transaction.
Make jbd2_journal_extend() use atomic_add_return() to close the race.

jbd2: cleanup needed free block estimates when starting a transaction

__jbd2_log_space_left() and jbd_space_needed() were kind of odd.
jbd_space_needed() accounted also credits needed for currently
committing transaction while it didn't account for credits needed for
control blocks. __jbd2_log_space_left() then accounted for control
blocks as a fraction of free space. Since results of these two
functions are always only compared against each other, this works
correct but is somewhat strange. Move the estimates so that
jbd_space_needed() returns number of blocks needed for a transaction
including control blocks and __jbd2_log_space_left() returns free
space in the journal (with the committing transaction already
subtracted). Rename functions to jbd2_log_space_left() and
jbd2_space_needed() while we are changing them.

jbd2: refine waiting for shadow buffers

Currently when we add a buffer to a transaction, we wait until the
buffer is removed from BJ_Shadow list (so that we prevent any changes
to the buffer that is just written to the journal). This can take
unnecessarily long as a lot happens between the time the buffer is
submitted to the journal and the time when we remove the buffer from
BJ_Shadow list. (e.g. We wait for all data buffers in the
transaction, we issue a cache flush, etc.) Also this creates a
dependency of do_get_write_access() on transaction commit (namely
waiting for data IO to complete) which we want to avoid when
implementing transaction reservation.

So we modify commit code to set new BH_Shadow flag when temporary
shadowing buffer is created and we clear that flag once IO on that
buffer is complete. This allows do_get_write_access() to wait only
for BH_Shadow bit and thus removes the dependency on data IO
completion.

jbd2: don't create journal_head for temporary journal buffers

When writing metadata to the journal, we create temporary buffer heads
for that task. We also attach journal heads to these buffer heads but
the only purpose of the journal heads is to keep buffers linked in
transaction's BJ_IO list. We remove the need for journal heads by
reusing buffer_head's b_assoc_buffers list for that purpose. Also
since BJ_IO list is just a temporary list for transaction commit, we
use a private list in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() for that thus
removing BJ_IO list from transaction completely.
