There are some op tables that can be easily made const, similarly the
sysfs feature and raid tables. This is motivated by PaX CONSTIFY plugin.

<title>btrfs: switch extent_state state to unsigned</title>

Currently there's a 4B hole in the structure between refs and state and there
are only 16 bits used so we can make it unsigned. This will get a better
packing and may save some stack space for local variables.

The size of extent_state gets reduced by 8B and there are usually a lot
of slab objects.

struct extent_state {
	u64                        start;                /*     0     8 */
	u64                        end;                  /*     8     8 */
	struct rb_node             rb_node;              /*    16    24 */
	wait_queue_head_t          wq;                   /*    40    24 */
	/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
	atomic_t                   refs;                 /*    64     4 */

	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

	long unsigned int          state;                /*    72     8 */
	u64                        private;              /*    80     8 */

	/* size: 88, cachelines: 2, members: 7 */
	/* sum members: 84, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
	/* last cacheline: 24 bytes */

Because we're using globally known nodesize. Do the same for the sanity

Make the extent buffer allocation interface consistent.  Cloned eb will
set a valid fs_info.  For dummy eb, we can drop the length parameter and
set it from fs_info.

The built-in sanity checks may pass a NULL fs_info that's queried for
nodesize, but we know it's 4096.

<title>Btrfs: set page and mapping error on compressed write failure</title>

If we fail in submit_compressed_extents() before calling btrfs_submit_compressed_write(),
we start and end the writeback for the pages (clear their dirty flag, unlock them, etc)
but we don't tag the pages, nor the inode's mapping, with an error. This makes it
impossible for a caller of filemap_fdatawait_range() (fsync, or transaction commit
for e.g.) know that there was an error.

Note that the return value of submit_compressed_extents() is useless, as that function
is executed by a workqueue task and not directly by the fill_delalloc callback. This
means the writepage/s callbacks of the inode's address space operations don't get that
return value.

Commit fccb84c94 moved added some helpers to cleanup our sanity tests,
but it looks like both Dave and I always compile with the tests enabled.

This fixes things to work when they are turned off too.

<title>Btrfs: be aware of btree inode write errors to avoid fs corruption</title>

<id>656f30dba7ab8179c9a2e04293b0c7b383fa9ce9</id>

While we have a transaction ongoing, the VM might decide at any time
to call btree_inode-&gt;i_mapping-&gt;a_ops-&gt;writepages(), which will start
writeback of dirty pages belonging to btree nodes/leafs. This call
might return an error or the writeback might finish with an error
before we attempt to commit the running transaction. If this happens,
we might have no way of knowing that such error happened when we are
committing the transaction - because the pages might no longer be
marked dirty nor tagged for writeback (if a subsequent modification
to the extent buffer didn't happen before the transaction commit) which
makes filemap_fdata[write|wait]_range unable to find such pages (even
if they're marked with SetPageError).
So if this happens we must abort the transaction, otherwise we commit
a super block with btree roots that point to btree nodes/leafs whose
content on disk is invalid - either garbage or the content of some
node/leaf from a past generation that got cowed or deleted and is no
longer valid (for this later case we end up getting error messages like
"parent transid verify failed on 10826481664 wanted 25748 found 29562"
when reading btree nodes/leafs from disk).

Note that setting and checking AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC in the btree inode's
i_mapping would not be enough because we need to distinguish between
log tree extents (not fatal) vs non-log tree extents (fatal) and
because the next call to filemap_fdatawait_range() will catch and clear
such errors in the mapping - and that call might be from a log sync and
not from a transaction commit, which means we would not know about the
error at transaction commit time. Also, checking for the eb flag
EXTENT_BUFFER_IOERR at transaction commit time isn't done and would
not be completely reliable, as the eb might be removed from memory and
read back when trying to get it, which clears that flag right before
reading the eb's pages from disk, making us not know about the previous
write error.

Using the new 3 flags for the btree inode also makes us achieve the
goal of AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC when writepages() returns success, started
writeback for all dirty pages and before filemap_fdatawait_range() is
called, the writeback for all dirty pages had already finished with
errors - because we were not using AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC,
filemap_fdatawait_range() would return success, as it could not know
that writeback errors happened (the pages were no longer tagged for
writeback).
