This replaces nilfs_mdt_mark_buffer_dirty and nilfs_btnode_mark_dirty
macros with mark_buffer_dirty and gets rid of nilfs_mark_buffer_dirty,
an own mark buffer dirty function.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

In the current nilfs, page cache for btree nodes and meta data files
do not set a valid back pointer to the host inode in mapping->host.This will change it so that every address space in nilfs uses
mapping->host to hold its host inode.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

Michael Leun reported that running parallel opens on a fuse filesystem
can trigger a "kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475"Gurudas Pai reported the same bug on NFS.
The reason is, unmap_mapping_range() is not prepared for more than
one concurrent invocation per inode. For example:thread1: going through a big range, stops in the middle of a vma and
stores the restart address in vm_truncate_count.thread2: comes in with a small (e.g. single page) unmap request on
the same vma, somewhere before restart_address, finds that the
vma was already unmapped up to the restart address and happily
returns without doing anything.Another scenario would be two big unmap requests, both having to
restart the unmapping and each one setting vm_truncate_count to its
own value. This could go on forever without any of them being able to
finish.Truncate and hole punching already serialize with i_mutex. Other
callers of unmap_mapping_range() do not, and it's difficult to get
i_mutex protection for all callers. In particular ->d_revalidate(),
which calls invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse, may be called
with or without i_mutex.This patch adds a new mutex to 'struct address_space' to prevent
running multiple concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same mapping.[ We'll hopefully get rid of all this with the upcoming mm
preemptibility series by Peter Zijlstra, the "mm: Remove i_mmap_mutex
lockbreak" patch in particular. But that is for 2.6.39 ]Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

This adds mode argument to nilfs_btnode_submit_block() function and
allows it to issue a read-ahead request.An optional submit_ptr argument is also added to store the actual
block address for which bio is sent. submit_ptr is used for a series
of read-ahead requests, and helps to decide if each requested block is
continous to the previous one on disk.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

This removes the obsolete nilfs_btnode_get() function and makes
nilfs_btree_get_block() directly call nilfs_btnode_submit_block().This expansion will provide better opportunity for code optimization.

This removes the obsolete argument from nilfs_btnode_submit_block().
This will complete separating a create function of btree node.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

Adds a separate routine for creating a btree node block. This is a
preparation to reduce the depth of function calls during submitting
btree node buffer.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

Previously, default_backing_dev_info was used for the mapping of btree
node caches. This uses device dependent backing_dev_info to allow
detailed control of the device for the btree node pages.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
