CURRENT_TIME_SEC is not y2038 safe. current_time() will
be transitioned to use 64 bit time along with vfs in a
separate patch.
There is no plan to transistion CURRENT_TIME_SEC to use
y2038 safe time interfaces.

current_time() will also be extended to use superblock
range checking parameters when range checking is introduced.

This works because alloc_super() fills in the the s_time_gran
in super block to NSEC_PER_SEC.

ext2_get_group_desc() can return NULL if there is some error. This
usually means there is some programming error in the ext2 driver itself
but let's be defensive and handle that case.

<title>ext2/3: use prandom_u32() instead of get_random_bytes()</title>

Many of the uses of get_random_bytes() do not actually need
cryptographically secure random numbers.  Replace those uses with a
call to prandom_u32(), which is faster and which doesn't consume
entropy from the /dev/random driver.

The commit dd1f723bf56bd96efc9d90e9e60dc511c79de48f has made that for
ext4, and i did the same for ext2/3.

<title>ext2: Fix BUG_ON in evict() on inode deletion</title>

<id>c288d2969627be7ffc90904ac8c6aae0295fbf9f</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit 8e3dffc6 introduced a regression where deleting inode with
large extended attributes leads to triggering
  BUG_ON(inode-&gt;i_state != (I_FREEING | I_CLEAR))
in fs/inode.c:evict(). That happens because freeing of xattr block
dirtied the inode and it happened after clear_inode() has been called.

Fix the issue by moving removal of xattr block into ext2_evict_inode()
before clear_inode() call close to a place where data blocks are
truncated. That is also more logical place and removes surprising
requirement that ext2_free_blocks() mustn't dirty the inode.

Convert ext2_count_free() to use memweight() instead of table lookup
based counting clear bits implementation.  This change only affects the
code segments enabled by EXT2FS_DEBUG.

Note that this memweight() call can't be replaced with a single
bitmap_weight() call, although the pointer to the memory area is aligned
to long-word boundary.  Because the size of the memory area may not be a
multiple of BITS_PER_LONG, then it returns wrong value on big-endian
architecture.

This also includes the following changes.

- Remove unnecessary map == NULL check in ext2_count_free() which
  always takes non-null pointer as the memory area.

- Fix printk format warning that only reveals with EXT2FS_DEBUG.

Places which modify superblock feature / state fields mark the superblock
buffer dirty so it is written out by flusher thread. Thus there's no need to
set s_dirt there.

The only other fields changing in the superblock are the numbers of free
blocks, free inodes and s_wtime. There's no real need to write (or even
compute) these periodically. Free blocks / inodes counters are recomputed on
every mount from group counters anyway and value of s_wtime is only
informational and imprecise anyway. So it should be enough to write these
opportunistically on mount, remount, umount, and sync_fs times.
