This is patchset makes fatfs stop using the VFS '->write_super()' method
for writing out the FSINFO block.
The final goal is to get rid of the 'sync_supers()' kernel thread. This
kernel thread wakes up every 5 seconds (by default) and calls
'->write_super()' for all mounted file-systems. And the bad thing is that
this is done even if all the superblocks are clean. Moreover, some
file-systems do not even need this end they do not register the
'->write_super()' method at all (e.g., btrfs).
So 'sync_supers()' most often just generates useless wake-ups and wastes
power. I am trying to make all file-systems independent of
'->write_super()' and plan to remove 'sync_supers()' and '->write_super'
completely once there are no more users.
The '->write_supers()' method is mostly used by baroque file-systems like
hfs, udf, etc. Modern file-systems like btrfs and xfs do not use it.
This justifies removing this stuff from VFS completely and make every FS
self-manage own superblock.
Tested with xfstests.
This patch:
Preparation for further changes. It introduces a special inode
('fsinfo_inode') in FAT file-system which we'll later use for managing the
FSINFO block. Note, this there is already one special inode ('fat_inode')
which is used for managing the FAT tables.
Introduce new 'MSDOS_FSINFO_INO' constant for this special inode. It is
safe to do because FAT file-system does not store inode numbers on the
media but generates them run-time.
I've also cleaned up the comment to existing 'MSDOS_ROOT_INO' constant,
while on it.

There are two cases that the cache flush is needed to avoid data loss
against unexpected hang or power failure. One is sync file function (i.e.
nilfs_sync_file) and another is checkpointing ioctl.
This issues a cache flush request to device for such cases if barrier
mount option is enabled, and makes sure data really is on persistent
storage on their completion.

As described in commit 07d106d0a3 ("vfs: fix up ENOIOCTLCMD error
handling"), drivers should return -ENOIOCTLCMD if they receive an ioctl
command which they don't understand. Doing so will result in -ENOTTY
being returned to userspace, which matches the behaviour of the compat
layer if it fails to translate an ioctl command.
This patch fixes the pipe ioctl to return -ENOIOCTLCMD instead of -EINVAL
when passed an unknown ioctl command.

The init/mount.o source files produce a number of sparse warnings of the
type:
warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
expected char [noderef] <asn:1>*dev_name
got char *name
This is due to the syscalls expecting some of the arguments to be user
pointers but they are being passed as kernel pointers. This is harmless
but adds a lot of noise to a sparse build.
To limit the noise just disable the sparse checking in the relevant source
files, but still display a warning so that the user knows this has been
done.
Since the sparse checking has been disabled we can also remove the __user
__force casts that are scattered thru the source.

Previous code was using optimizations which were developed to work well
even on narrow-word CPUs (by today's standards). But Linux runs only on
32-bit and wider CPUs. We can use that.
First: using 32x32->64 multiply and trivial 32-bit shift, we can correctly
divide by 10 much larger numbers, and thus we can print groups of 9 digits
instead of groups of 5 digits.
Next: there are two algorithms to print larger numbers. One is generic:
divide by 1000000000 and repeatedly print groups of (up to) 9 digits.
It's conceptually simple, but requires an (unsigned long long) /
1000000000 division.
Second algorithm splits 64-bit unsigned long long into 16-bit chunks,
manipulates them cleverly and generates groups of 4 decimal digits. It so
happens that it does NOT require long long division.
If long is > 32 bits, division of 64-bit values is relatively easy, and we
will use the first algorithm. If long long is > 64 bits (strange
architecture with VERY large long long), second algorithm can't be used,
and we again use the first one.
Else (if long is 32 bits and long long is 64 bits) we use second one.
And third: there is a simple optimization which takes fast path not only
for zero as was done before, but for all one-digit numbers.
In all tested cases new code is faster than old one, in many cases by 30%,
in few cases by more than 50% (for example, on x86-32, conversion of
12345678). Code growth is ~0 in 32-bit case and ~130 bytes in 64-bit
case.

The '%p' output of the kernel's vsprintf() uses spec.field_width to
determine how many digits to output based on 2 * sizeof(void*) so that all
digits of a pointer are shown. ie. a pointer will be output as
"001A2B3C" instead of "1A2B3C". However, if the '#' flag is used in the
format (%#p), then the code doesn't take into account the width of the
'0x' prefix and will end up outputing "0x1A2B3C" instead of "0x001A2B3C".
This patch reworks the "pointer()" format hook to include 2 characters for
the '0x' prefix if the '#' flag is included.

The client should ignore the returned sequence_id in the case where the
CONFIRMED flag is set on an exchange_id reply--and in the unconfirmed
case "1" is always the right response. So it shouldn't actually matter
what we return here.
We could continue returning 1 just to catch clients ignoring the spec
here, but I'd rather be generous. Other things equal, returning the

This can't happen:
- cl_time is zeroed only by unhash_client_locked, which is only
ever called under both the state lock and the client lock.
- every caller of renew_client() should have looked up a
(non-expired) client and then called renew_client() all
without dropping the state lock.
- the only other caller of renew_client_locked() is
release_session_client(), which first checks under the
client_lock that the cl_time is nonzero.
So make it clear that this is a bug, not something we handle. I can't
quite bring myself to make this a BUG(), though, as there are a lot of
renew_client() callers, and returning here is probably safer than a
BUG().
We'll consider making it a BUG() after some more cleanup.

The cases here divide into two main categories:
- if there's an uncomfirmed record with a matching verifier,
then this is a "normal", succesful case: we're either creating
a new client, or updating an existing one.
- otherwise, this is a weird case: a replay, or a server reboot.
Reordering to reflect that makes the code a bit more concise and the
logic a lot easier to understand.

New clients are created only by nfsd4_setclientid(), which always gives
any new client a unique clientid. The only exception is in the
"callback update" case, in which case it may create an unconfirmed
client with the same clientid as a confirmed client. In that case it
also checks that the confirmed client has the same credential.
Therefore, it is pointless for setclientid_confirm to check whether a
confirmed and unconfirmed client with the same clientid have matching
credentials--they're guaranteed to.
Instead, it should be checking whether the credential on the
setclientid_confirm matches either of those. Otherwise, it could be
anyone sending the setclientid_confirm. Granted, I can't see why anyone
would, but still it's probalby safer to check.
