Get rid of the initialize dquot operation - it is now always called from
the filesystem and if a filesystem really needs it's own (which none
currently does) it can just call into it's own routine directly.

Rename the now static low-level dquot_initialize helper to __dquot_initialize
and vfs_dq_init to dquot_initialize to have a consistent namespace.

<title>dquot: move dquot initialization responsibility into the filesystem</title>

<id>907f4554e2521cb28b0009d17167760650a9561c</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently various places in the VFS call vfs_dq_init directly.  This means
we tie the quota code into the VFS.  Get rid of that and make the
filesystem responsible for the initialization.   For most metadata operations
this is a straight forward move into the methods, but for truncate and
open it's a bit more complicated.

For truncate we currently only call vfs_dq_init for the sys_truncate case
because open already takes care of it for ftruncate and open(O_TRUNC) - the
new code causes an additional vfs_dq_init for those which is harmless.

For open the initialization is moved from do_filp_open into the open method,
which means it happens slightly earlier now, and only for regular files.
The latter is fine because we don't need to initialize it for operations
on special files, and we already do it as part of the namespace operations
for directories.

Add a dquot_file_open helper that filesystems that support generic quotas
can use to fill in -&gt;open.

Don't implement per-filesystem 'extX_permission()' functions that have
to be called for every path component operation, and instead just expose
the actual ACL checking so that the VFS layer can now do it for us.

In ext2_rename(), dir_page is acquired through ext2_dotdot().  It is
then released through ext2_set_link() but only if old_dir != new_dir.
Failing that, the pkmap reference count is never decremented and the
page remains pinned forever.  Repeat that a couple times with highmem
pages and all pkmap slots get exhausted, and every further kmap() calls
end up stalling on the pkmap_map_wait queue at which point the whole
system comes to a halt.

<title>ext2: return -EIO not -ESTALE on directory traversal through deleted inode</title>

<content type='text'>
ext2_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to
report errors to NFS properly.  However, in ext[234]_lookup(), this
-ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such
that a directory entry references a deleted inode.  This leads to a
misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the
part of the admin.

The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a
link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls
-l said link.

This patch thus changes ext2_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE
from ext2_iget(), as ext2 does for other filesystem metadata corruption;
and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is
detected.

<title>ext2: Do not update mtime of a moved directory</title>

<id>39fe7557b4d6ab82bafaa7b92b98b806afe6ad0d</id>
<content type='text'>
One of our users is complaining that his backup tool is upset on ext2
(while it's happy on ext3, xfs, ...) because of the mtime change.

The problem is:

    mkdir foo
    mkdir bar
    mkdir foo/a

Now under ext2:
    mv foo/a foo/b

changes mtime of 'foo/a' (foo/b after the move).  That does not really
make sense and it does not happen under any other filesystem I've seen.

More complicated is:
    mv foo/a bar/a

This changes mtime of foo/a (bar/a after the move) and it makes some
sense since we had to update parent directory pointer of foo/a.  But
again, no other filesystem does this.  So after some thoughts I'd vote
for consistency and change ext2 to behave the same as other filesystems.

Do not update mtime of a moved directory.  Specs don't say anything
about it (neither that it should, nor that it should not be updated) and
other common filesystems (ext3, ext4, xfs, reiserfs, fat, ...) don't do
it.  So let's become more consistent.
