e3154e9748 nilfs2: get rid of nilfs_sb_info structure
This directly uses sb->s_fs_info to keep a nilfs filesystem object and
fully removes the intermediate nilfs_sb_info structure.  With this
change, the hierarchy of on-memory structures of nilfs will be
simplified as follows:

Before:
  super_block
       -> nilfs_sb_info
             -> the_nilfs
                   -> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system)
                               +-> nilfs_root (snapshot A)
                               +-> nilfs_root (snapshot B)
                               :
             -> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure)
After:
  super_block
       -> the_nilfs
             -> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system)
                         +-> nilfs_root (snapshot A)
                         +-> nilfs_root (snapshot B)
                         :
             -> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure)

The reason why we didn't design so from the beginning is because the
initial shape also differed from the above.  The early hierachy was
composed of "per-mount-point" super_block -> nilfs_sb_info pairs and a
shared nilfs object.  On the kernel 2.6.37, it was changed to the
current shape in order to unify super block instances into one per
device, and this cleanup became applicable as the result.

2879ed66e4 nilfs2: remove own inode allocator and destructor for metadata files
This finally removes own inode allocator and destructor functions for
metadata files.  Several routines, nilfs_mdt_new(),
nilfs_mdt_new_common(), nilfs_mdt_clear(), nilfs_mdt_destroy(), and
nilfs_alloc_inode_common() will be gone.

b1f6a4f294 nilfs2: add routines to redirect access to buffers of DAT file
During garbage collection (GC), DAT file, which converts virtual block
number to real block number, may return disk block number that is not
yet written to the device.

To avoid access to unwritten blocks, the current implementation stores
changes to the caches of GCDAT during GC and atomically commit the
changes into the DAT file after they are written to the device.

This patch, instead, adds a function that makes a copy of specified
buffer and stores it in nilfs_shadow_map, and a function to get the
backup copy as needed (nilfs_mdt_freeze_buffer and
nilfs_mdt_get_frozen_buffer respectively).

Before DAT changes block number in an entry block, it makes a copy and
redirect access to the buffer so that address conversion function
(i.e. nilfs_dat_translate) refers to the old address saved in the
copy.

This patch gives requisites for such redirection.

ebdfed4dc5 nilfs2: add routines to roll back state of DAT file
This adds optional function to metadata files which makes a copy of
bmap, page caches, and b-tree node cache, and rolls back to the copy
as needed.

This enhancement is intended to displace gcdat inode that provides a
similar function in a different way.

In this patch, nilfs_shadow_map structure is added to store a copy of
the foregoing states.  nilfs_mdt_setup_shadow_map relates this
structure to a metadata file.  And, nilfs_mdt_save_to_shadow_map() and
nilfs_mdt_restore_from_shadow_map() provides save and restore
functions respectively.  Finally, nilfs_mdt_clear_shadow_map() clears
states of nilfs_shadow_map.

The copy of b-tree node cache and page cache is made by duplicating
only dirty pages into corresponding caches in nilfs_shadow_map.  Their
restoration is done by clearing dirty pages from original caches and
by copying dirty pages back from nilfs_shadow_map.

db38d5ad32 nilfs2: add cache framework for persistent object allocator
This adds setup and cleanup routines of the persistent object
allocator cache.

According to ftrace analyses, accessing buffers of the DAT file
suffers indispensable overhead many times.  To mitigate the overhead,
This introduce cache framework for the persistent object allocator
(palloc) which the DAT file and ifile are using.

struct nilfs_palloc_cache represents the cache object per metadata
file using palloc.

The cache is initialized through nilfs_palloc_setup_cache() and
destroyed by nilfs_palloc_destroy_cache(); callers of the former
function will be added to individual allocators of DAT and ifile on
successive patches.

nilfs_palloc_destroy_cache() will be called from nilfs_mdt_destroy()
if the cache is attached to a metadata file.  A companion function
nilfs_palloc_clear_cache() is provided to allow releasing buffer head
references independently with the cleanup task.  This adjunctive
function will be used before invalidating pages of metadata file with
the cache.

function; the argument specifies the size of private object attached
to a newly allocated metadata file inode.

This will afford space to keep local variables for meta data files.
