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.

<title>ext3: Use bitops to read/modify EXT3_I(inode)-&gt;i_state</title>

At several places we modify EXT3_I(inode)-&gt;i_state without holding i_mutex
(ext3_release_file, ext3_bmap, ext3_journalled_writepage, ext3_do_update_inode,
...). These modifications are racy and we can lose updates to i_state. So
convert handling of i_state to use bitops which are atomic.

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 data=writeback mode, start an asynchronous flush when closing a
file which had been previously truncated down to zero.  This lowers
the probability of data loss in the case of applications that attempt
to replace a file using truncate.

<title>generic block based fiemap implementation</title>

Any block based fs (this patch includes ext3) just has to declare its own
fiemap() function and then call this generic function with its own
get_block_t. This works well for block based filesystems that will map
multiple contiguous blocks at one time, but will work for filesystems that
only map one block at a time, you will just end up with an "extent" for each
block. One gotcha is this will not play nicely where there is hole+data
after the EOF. This function will assume its hit the end of the data as soon
as it hits a hole after the EOF, so if there is any data past that it will
not pick that up. AFAIK no block based fs does this anyway, but its in the
comments of the function anyway just in case.
