Dmitry Monakhov f45ee3a1ea ext4: ext4_inode_info diet
Generic inode has unused i_private pointer which may be used as cur_aio_dio
storage.

TODO: If cur_aio_dio will be passed as an argument to get_block_t this allow
      to have concurent AIO_DIO requests.

Theodore Ts'o 28623c2f5b ext4: grow the s_group_info array as needed
Previously we allocated the s_group_info array with enough space for
any future possible growth of the file system via online resize.  This
is unfortunate because it wastes memory, and it doesn't work for the
meta_bg scheme, since there is no limit based on the number of
reserved gdt blocks.  So add the code to grow the s_group_info array
as needed.

Theodore Ts'o 117fff10d7 ext4: grow the s_flex_groups array as needed when resizing
Previously, we allocated the s_flex_groups array to the maximum size
that the file system could be resized.  There was two problems with
this approach.  First, it wasted memory in the common case where the
file system was not resized.  Secondly, once we start allowing online
resizing using the meta_bg scheme, there is no maximum size that the
file system can be resized.  So instead, we need to grow the
s_flex_groups at inline resize time.

Zheng Liu 67a5da564f ext4: make the zero-out chunk size tunable
Currently in ext4 the length of zero-out chunk is set to 7 file system
blocks.  But if an inode has uninitailized extents from using
fallocate to preallocate space, and the workload issues many random
writes, this can cause a fragmented extent tree that will
unnecessarily grow the extent tree.

So create a new sysfs tunable, extent_max_zeroout_kb, which controls
the maximum size where blocks will be zeroed out instead of creating a
new uninitialized extent.  The default of this has been sent to 32kb.

Theodore Ts'o df981d03ee ext4: add max_dir_size_kb mount option
Very large directories can cause significant performance problems, or
perhaps even invoke the OOM killer, if the process is running in a
highly constrained memory environment (whether it is VM's with a small
amount of memory or in a small memory cgroup).

So it is useful, in cloud server/data center environments, to be able
to set a filesystem-wide cap on the maximum size of a directory, to
ensure that directories never get larger than a sane size.  We do this
via a new mount option, max_dir_size_kb.  If there is an attempt to
grow the directory larger than max_dir_size_kb, the system call will
return ENOSPC instead.

Aditya Kali 7c319d3285 ext4: make quota as first class supported feature
This patch adds support for quotas as a first class feature in ext4;
which is to say, the quota files are stored in hidden inodes as file
system metadata, instead of as separate files visible in the file system
directory hierarchy.

It is based on the proposal at:                                                                                                           
https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Design_For_1st_Class_Quota_in_Ext4

This patch introduces a new feature - EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_QUOTA
which, when turned on, enables quota accounting at mount time
iteself. Also, the quota inodes are stored in two additional superblock
fields.  Some changes introduced by this patch that should be pointed
out are:

1) Two new ext4-superblock fields - s_usr_quota_inum and
   s_grp_quota_inum for storing the quota inodes in use.
2) Default quota inodes are: inode#3 for tracking userquota and inode#4
   for tracking group quota. The superblock fields can be set to use
   other inodes as well.
3) If the QUOTA feature and corresponding quota inodes are set in
   superblock, the quota usage tracking is turned on at mount time. On
   'quotaon' ioctl, the quota limits enforcement is turned
   on. 'quotaoff' ioctl turns off only the limits enforcement in this
   case.
4) When QUOTA feature is in use, the quota mount options 'quota',
   'usrquota', 'grpquota' are ignored by the kernel.
5) mke2fs or tune2fs can be used to set the QUOTA feature and initialize
   quota inodes. The default reserved inodes will not be visible to user
   as regular files.
6) The quota-tools will need to be modified to support hidden quota
   files on ext4. E2fsprogs will also include support for creating and
   fixing quota files.
7) Support is only for the new V2 quota file format.

Zheng Liu 729f52c6be ext4: add a new nolock flag in ext4_map_blocks
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_NO_LOCK flag is added to indicate that we don't need
to acquire i_data_sem lock in ext4_map_blocks.  Meanwhile, it changes
ext4_get_block() to not start a new journal because when we do a
overwrite dio, there is no any metadata that needs to be modified.

We define a new function called ext4_get_block_write_nolock, which is
used in dio overwrite nolock.  In this function, it doesn't try to
acquire i_data_sem lock and doesn't start a new journal as it does a
lookup.

Theodore Ts'o 952fc18ef9 ext4: fix overhead calculation used by ext4_statfs()
Commit f975d6bcc7 introduced bug which caused ext4_statfs() to
miscalculate the number of file system overhead blocks.  This causes
the f_blocks field in the statfs structure to be larger than it should
be.  This would in turn cause the "df" output to show the number of
data blocks in the file system and the number of data blocks used to
be larger than they should be.

Linus Torvalds 644473e9c6 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
  reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
  implementation.

  Highlights:
   - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
     code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.

   - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
     config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
     user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
     checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.

   - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
     user namespace before they are processed.  Removing the need to add
     an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
     uids remains the same.

   - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
     better than it is today.

   - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
     operationally with the user namespace enabled.

   - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
     billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
     enabled.  This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
     164ns per stat operation).

   - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
     Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
     anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
     entertaining failures in userspace.

   - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
     I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
     could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
     handle the case where setuid fails.

   - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
     we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid.  The LFS
     experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
     better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
     can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
     can't map.

   - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
     safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.

  My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
  kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

Linus Torvalds 71db34fc43 Merge branch 'for-3.4' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux
Pull nfsd changes from Bruce Fields:

Highlights:
 - Benny Halevy and Tigran Mkrtchyan implemented some more 4.1 features,
   moving us closer to a complete 4.1 implementation.
 - Bernd Schubert fixed a long-standing problem with readdir cookies on
   ext2/3/4.
 - Jeff Layton performed a long-overdue overhaul of the server reboot
   recovery code which will allow us to deprecate the current code (a
   rather unusual user of the vfs), and give us some needed flexibility
   for further improvements.
 - Like the client, we now support numeric uid's and gid's in the
   auth_sys case, allowing easier upgrades from NFSv2/v3 to v4.x.

Plus miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanup.

Thanks to everyone!

There are also some delegation fixes waiting on vfs review that I
suppose will have to wait for 3.5.  With that done I think we'll finally
turn off the "EXPERIMENTAL" dependency for v4 (though that's mostly
symbolic as it's been on by default in distro's for a while).

And the list of 4.1 todo's should be achievable for 3.5 as well:

   http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues

though we may still want a bit more experience with it before turning it

to appease NFSv2, which can only handle a 32-bit cookie for seekdir()
and telldir().  However, this causes problems if there are 32-bit hash
collisions, since the NFSv2 server can get stuck resending the same
entries from the directory repeatedly.

Allow ext4 to return a full 64-bit hash (both major and minor) for
telldir to decrease the chance of hash collisions.  This still needs
integration on the NFS side.

Jeff Moyer 491caa4363 ext4: fix race between sync and completed io work
The following command line will leave the aio-stress process unkillable
on an ext4 file system (in my case, mounted on /mnt/test):

aio-stress -t 20 -s 10 -O -S -o 2 -I 1000 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.20 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.19 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.18 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.17 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.16 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.15 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.14 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.13 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.12 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.11 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.10 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.9 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.8 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.7 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.6 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.5 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.4 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.3 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.2

This is using the aio-stress program from the xfstests test suite.
That particular command line tells aio-stress to do random writes to
20 files from 20 threads (one thread per file).  The files are NOT
preallocated, so you will get writes to random offsets within the
file, thus creating holes and extending i_size.  It also opens the
file with O_DIRECT and O_SYNC.

On to the problem.  When an I/O requires unwritten extent conversion,
it is queued onto the completed_io_list for the ext4 inode.  Two code
paths will pull work items from this list.  The first is the
ext4_end_io_work routine, and the second is ext4_flush_completed_IO,
which is called via the fsync path (and O_SYNC handling, as well).
There are two issues I've found in these code paths.  First, if the
fsync path beats the work routine to a particular I/O, the work
routine will free the io_end structure!  It does not take into account
the fact that the io_end may still be in use by the fsync path.  I've
fixed this issue by adding yet another IO_END flag, indicating that
the io_end is being processed by the fsync path.

The second problem is that the work routine will make an assignment to
io->flag outside of the lock.  I have witnessed this result in a hang
at umount.  Moving the flag setting inside the lock resolved that
problem.

The problem was introduced by commit b82e384c7b ("ext4: optimize
locking for end_io extent conversion"), which first appeared in 3.2.
As such, the fix should be backported to that release (probably along
with the unwritten extent conversion race fix).

Jeff Moyer 266991b138 ext4: fix race between unwritten extent conversion and truncate
The following comment in ext4_end_io_dio caught my attention:

	/* XXX: probably should move into the real I/O completion handler */
        inode_dio_done(inode);

The truncate code takes i_mutex, then calls inode_dio_wait.  Because the
ext4 code path above will end up dropping the mutex before it is
reacquired by the worker thread that does the extent conversion, it
seems to me that the truncate can happen out of order.  Jan Kara
mentioned that this might result in error messages in the system logs,
but that should be the extent of the "damage."

The fix is pretty straight-forward: don't call inode_dio_done until the
extent conversion is complete.

In ext4_read_{inode,block}_bitmap() we were setting bitmap_uptodate()
before submitting the buffer for read.  The is bad, since we check
bitmap_uptodate() without locking the buffer, and so if another
process is racing with us, it's possible that they will think the
bitmap is uptodate even though the read has not completed yet,
resulting in inodes and blocks potentially getting allocated more than
once if we get really unlucky.

Yongqiang Yang 19c5246d25 ext4: add new online resize interface
This patch adds new online resize interface, whose input argument is a
64-bit integer indicating how many blocks there are in the resized fs.

In new resize impelmentation, all work like allocating group tables
are done by kernel side, so the new resize interface can support
flex_bg feature and prepares ground for suppoting resize with features
like bigalloc and exclude bitmap. Besides these, user-space tools just
passes in the new number of blocks.

We delay initializing the bitmaps and inode tables of added groups if
possible and add multi groups (a flex groups) each time, so new resize
is very fast like mkfs.

Akinobu Mita 597d508c17 ext4: use proper little-endian bitops
ext4_{set,clear}_bit() is defined as __test_and_{set,clear}_bit_le() for
ext4.  Only two ext4_{set,clear}_bit() calls check the return value.  The
rest of calls ignore the return value and they can be replaced with
__{set,clear}_bit_le().

This changes ext4_{set,clear}_bit() from __test_and_{set,clear}_bit_le()
to __{set,clear}_bit_le() and introduces ext4_test_and_{set,clear}_bit()
for the two places where old bit needs to be returned.

This ext4_{set,clear}_bit() change is considered safe, because if someone
uses these macros without noticing the change, new ext4_{set,clear}_bit
don't have return value and causes compiler errors where the return value
is used.

This also removes unused ext4_find_first_zero_bit().

Aditya Kali 5356f2615c ext4: attempt to fix race in bigalloc code path
Currently, there exists a race between delayed allocated writes and
the writeback when bigalloc feature is in use. The race was because we
wanted to determine what blocks in a cluster are under delayed
allocation and we were using buffer_delayed(bh) check for it. But, the
writeback codepath clears this bit without any synchronization which
resulted in a race and an ext4 warning similar to:

EXT4-fs (ram1): ext4_da_update_reserve_space: ino 13, used 1 with only 0
		reserved data blocks

The race existed in two places.
(1) between ext4_find_delalloc_range() and ext4_map_blocks() when called from
    writeback code path.
(2) between ext4_find_delalloc_range() and ext4_da_get_block_prep() (where
    buffer_delayed(bh) is set.

To fix (1), this patch introduces a new buffer_head state bit -
BH_Da_Mapped.  This bit is set under the protection of
EXT4_I(inode)->i_data_sem when we have actually mapped the delayed
allocated blocks during the writeout time. We can now reliably check
for this bit inside ext4_find_delalloc_range() to determine whether
the reservation for the blocks have already been claimed or not.

To fix (2), it was necessary to set buffer_delay(bh) under the
protection of i_data_sem.  So, I extracted the very beginning of
ext4_map_blocks into a new function - ext4_da_map_blocks() - and
performed the required setting of bh_delay bit and the quota
reservation under the protection of i_data_sem.  These two fixes makes
the checking of buffer_delay(bh) and buffer_da_mapped(bh) consistent,
thus removing the race.

Tested: I was able to reproduce the problem by running 'dd' and
'fsync' in parallel. Also, xfstests sometimes used to reproduce this
race. After the fix both my test and xfstests were successful and no
race (warning message) was observed.

Allison Henderson 4e96b2dbbf ext4: Add new ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers routines
This patch adds two new routines: ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers
and ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock.

The ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers routine is a wrapper
function to ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock.
The wrapper function locks the page and passes it to
ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock.
Calling functions that already have the page locked can call
ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock directly.

The ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock function
zeros a specified range in a page, and unmaps the
corresponding buffer heads.  Only block aligned regions of the
page will have their buffer heads unmapped.  Unblock aligned regions
will be mapped if needed so that they can be updated with the
partial zero out.  This function is meant to
be used to update a page and its buffer heads to be zeroed
and unmapped when the corresponding blocks have been released
or will be released.

This routine is used in the following scenarios:
* A hole is punched and the non page aligned regions
  of the head and tail of the hole need to be discarded

* The file is truncated and the partial page beyond EOF needs
  to be discarded

* The end of a hole is in the same page as EOF.  After the
  page is flushed, the partial page beyond EOF needs to be
  discarded.

* A write operation begins or ends inside a hole and the partial
  page appearing before or after the write needs to be discarded

* A write operation extends EOF and the partial page beyond EOF
  needs to be discarded

This function takes a flag EXT4_DISCARD_PARTIAL_PG_ZERO_UNMAPPED
which is used when a write operation begins or ends in a hole.
When the EXT4_DISCARD_PARTIAL_PG_ZERO_UNMAPPED flag is used, only
buffer heads that are already unmapped will have the corresponding
regions of the page zeroed.

Jiaying Zhang 8c0bec2151 ext4: remove i_mutex lock in ext4_evict_inode to fix lockdep complaining
The i_mutex lock and flush_completed_IO() added by commit 2581fdc810
in ext4_evict_inode() causes lockdep complaining about potential
deadlock in several places.  In most/all of these LOCKDEP complaints
it looks like it's a false positive, since many of the potential
circular locking cases can't take place by the time the
ext4_evict_inode() is called; but since at the very least it may mask
real problems, we need to address this.

This change removes the flush_completed_IO() and i_mutex lock in
ext4_evict_inode().  Instead, we take a different approach to resolve
the software lockup that commit 2581fdc810 intends to fix.  Rather
than having ext4-dio-unwritten thread wait for grabing the i_mutex
lock of an inode, we use mutex_trylock() instead, and simply requeue
the work item if we fail to grab the inode's i_mutex lock.

This should speed up work queue processing in general and also
prevents the following deadlock scenario: During page fault,
shrink_icache_memory is called that in turn evicts another inode B.
Inode B has some pending io_end work so it calls ext4_ioend_wait()
that waits for inode B's i_ioend_count to become zero.  However, inode
B's ioend work was queued behind some of inode A's ioend work on the
same cpu's ext4-dio-unwritten workqueue.  As the ext4-dio-unwritten
thread on that cpu is processing inode A's ioend work, it tries to
grab inode A's i_mutex lock.  Since the i_mutex lock of inode A is
still hold before the page fault happened, we enter a deadlock.

Tao Ma 3d56b8d2c7 ext4: Speed up FITRIM by recording flags in ext4_group_info
In ext4, when FITRIM is called every time, we iterate all the
groups and do trim one by one. It is a bit time wasting if the
group has been trimmed and there is no change since the last
trim.

So this patch adds a new flag in ext4_group_info->bb_state to
indicate that the group has been trimmed, and it will be cleared
if some blocks is freed(in release_blocks_on_commit). Another
trim_minlen is added in ext4_sb_info to record the last minlen
we use to trim the volume, so that if the caller provide a small
one, we will go on the trim regardless of the bb_state.

A simple test with my intel x25m ssd:
df -h shows:
/dev/sdb1              40G   21G   17G  56% /mnt/ext4
Block size:               4096

run the FITRIM with the following parameter:
range.start = 0;
range.len = UINT64_MAX;
range.minlen = 1048576;

without the patch:
[root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a
real	0m5.505s
user	0m0.000s

with the patch:

real	0m5.625s
user	0m0.000s

A big improvement for the 2nd and 3rd run.

Even after I delete some big image files, it is still much
faster than iterating the whole disk.

Maxim Patlasov 7132de744b ext4: fix i_blocks/quota accounting when extent insertion fails
The current implementation of ext4_free_blocks() always calls
dquot_free_block This looks quite sensible in the most cases: blocks
to be freed are associated with inode and were accounted in quota and
i_blocks some time ago.

However, there is a case when blocks to free were not accounted by the
time calling ext4_free_blocks() yet:

1. delalloc is on, write_begin pre-allocated some space in quota
2. write-back happens, ext4 allocates some blocks in ext4_ext_map_blocks()
3. then ext4_ext_map_blocks() gets an error (e.g.  ENOSPC) from
   ext4_ext_insert_extent() and calls ext4_free_blocks().

In this scenario, ext4_free_blocks() calls dquot_free_block() who, in
turn, decrements i_blocks for blocks which were not accounted yet (due
to delalloc) After clean umount, e2fsck reports something like:

> Inode 21, i_blocks is 5080, should be 5128.  Fix<y>?
because i_blocks was erroneously decremented as explained above.

The patch fixes the problem by passing the new flag
EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_NO_QUOT_UPDATE to ext4_free_blocks(), to request
that the dquot_free_block() call be skipped.

Vivek Haldar 556b27abf7 ext4: do not normalize block requests from fallocate()
Currently, an fallocate request of size slightly larger than a power of
2 is turned into two block requests, each a power of 2, with the extra
blocks pre-allocated for future use. When an application calls
fallocate, it already has an idea about how large the file may grow so
there is usually little benefit to reserve extra blocks on the
preallocation list. This reduces disk fragmentation.

Tested: fsstress. Also verified manually that fallocat'ed files are
contiguously laid out with this change (whereas without it they begin at
power-of-2 boundaries, leaving blocks in between). CPU usage of
fallocate is not appreciably higher.  In a tight fallocate loop, CPU
usage hovers between 5%-8% with this change, and 5%-7% without it.

Using a simulated file system aging program which the file system to
70%, the percentage of free extents larger than 8MB (as measured by
e2freefrag) increased from 38.8% without this change, to 69.4% with
this change.

Allison Henderson a4bb6b64e3 ext4: enable "punch hole" functionality
This patch adds new routines: "ext4_punch_hole" "ext4_ext_punch_hole"
and "ext4_ext_check_cache"

fallocate has been modified to call ext4_punch_hole when the punch hole
flag is passed.  At the moment, we only support punching holes in
extents, so this routine is pretty much a wrapper for the ext4_ext_punch_hole
routine.

The ext4_ext_punch_hole routine first completes all outstanding writes
with the associated pages, and then releases them.  The unblock
aligned data is zeroed, and all blocks in between are punched out.

The ext4_ext_check_cache routine is very similar to ext4_ext_in_cache
except it accepts a ext4_ext_cache parameter instead of a ext4_extent
parameter.  This routine is used by ext4_ext_punch_hole to check and
see if a block in a hole that has been cached.  The ext4_ext_cache
parameter is necessary because the members ext4_extent structure are
not large enough to hold a 32 bit value.  The existing
ext4_ext_in_cache routine has become a wrapper to this new function.

In order to make lazyinit eat approx. 10% of io bandwidth at max, we
are sleeping between zeroing each single inode table. For that purpose
we are using timer which wakes up thread when it expires. It is set
via add_timer() and this may cause troubles in the case that thread
has been woken up earlier and in next iteration we call add_timer() on
still running timer hence hitting BUG_ON in add_timer(). We could fix
that by using mod_timer() instead however we can use
schedule_timeout_interruptible() for waiting and hence simplifying
things a lot.

This commit exchange the old "waiting mechanism" with simple
schedule_timeout_interruptible(), setting the time to sleep. Hence we
do not longer need li_wait_daemon waiting queue and others, so get rid
of it.

Akinobu Mita 50e0168cc3 ext4: use little-endian bitops
As a preparation for removing ext2 non-atomic bit operations from
asm/bitops.h.  This converts ext2 non-atomic bit operations to
little-endian bit operations.

Eric Sandeen e9e3bcecf4 ext4: serialize unaligned asynchronous DIO
ext4 has a data corruption case when doing non-block-aligned
asynchronous direct IO into a sparse file, as demonstrated
by xfstest 240.

The root cause is that while ext4 preallocates space in the
hole, mappings of that space still look "new" and 
dio_zero_block() will zero out the unwritten portions.  When
more than one AIO thread is going, they both find this "new"
block and race to zero out their portion; this is uncoordinated
and causes data corruption.

Dave Chinner fixed this for xfs by simply serializing all
unaligned asynchronous direct IO.  I've done the same here.
The difference is that we only wait on conversions, not all IO.
This is a very big hammer, and I'm not very pleased with
stuffing this into ext4_file_write().  But since ext4 is
DIO_LOCKING, we need to serialize it at this high level.

I tried to move this into ext4_ext_direct_IO, but by then
we have the i_mutex already, and we will wait on the
work queue to do conversions - which must also take the
i_mutex.  So that won't work.

This was originally exposed by qemu-kvm installing to
a raw disk image with a normal sector-63 alignment.  I've
tested a backport of this patch with qemu, and it does
avoid the corruption.  It is also quite a lot slower
(14 min for package installs, vs. 8 min for well-aligned)
but I'll take slow correctness over fast corruption any day.

Mingming suggested that we can track outstanding
conversions, and wait on those so that non-sparse
files won't be affected, and I've implemented that here;
unaligned AIO to nonsparse files won't take a perf hit.

[tytso@mit.edu: Keep the mutex as a hashed array instead
 of bloating the ext4 inode]

 variables are protected with an "ext4_" prefix.]

Christoph Hellwig 2fe17c1075 fallocate should be a file operation
Currently all filesystems except XFS implement fallocate asynchronously,
while XFS forced a commit.  Both of these are suboptimal - in case of O_SYNC
I/O we really want our allocation on disk, especially for the !KEEP_SIZE
case where we actually grow the file with user-visible zeroes.  On the
other hand always commiting the transaction is a bad idea for fast-path
uses of fallocate like for example in recent Samba versions.   Given
that block allocation is a data plane operation anyway change it from
an inode operation to a file operation so that we have the file structure
available that lets us check for O_SYNC.

This also includes moving the code around for a few of the filesystems,
and remove the already unnedded S_ISDIR checks given that we only wire
up fallocate for regular files.
