With bigalloc changes, the i_blocks value was not correctly set (it was still
set to number of blocks being used, but in case of bigalloc, we want i_blocks
to represent the number of clusters being used). Since the quota subsystem sets
the i_blocks value, this patch fixes the quota accounting and makes sure that
the i_blocks value is set correctly.

<title>ext4: use FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST flag for last extent in fiemap </title>

Currently we are not marking the extent as the last one
(FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST) if there is a hole at the end of the file. This is
because we just do not check for it right now and continue searching for
next extent. But at the point we hit the hole at the end of the file, it
is too late.

This commit adds check for the allocated block in subsequent extent and
if there is no more extents (block = EXT_MAX_BLOCKS) just flag the
current one as the last one.

This behaviour has been spotted unintentionally by 252 xfstest, when the
test hangs out, because of wrong loop condition. However on other
filesystems (like xfs) it will exit anyway, because we notice the last
extent flag and exit.

With this patch xfstest 252 does not hang anymore, ext4 fiemap
implementation still reports bad extent type in some cases, however
this seems to be different issue.

<title>ext4: Fix max file size and logical block counting of extent format file</title>

Kazuya Mio reported that he was able to hit BUG_ON(next == lblock)
in ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache() while creating a sparse file in extent
format and fill the tail of file up to its end. We will hit the BUG_ON
when we write the last block (2^32-1) into the sparse file.

The root cause of the problem lies in the fact that we specifically set
s_maxbytes so that block at s_maxbytes fit into on-disk extent format,
which is 32 bit long. However, we are not storing start and end block
number, but rather start block number and length in blocks. It means
that in order to cover extent from 0 to EXT_MAX_BLOCK we need
EXT_MAX_BLOCK+1 to fit into len (because we counting block 0 as well) -
and it does not.

The only way to fix it without changing the meaning of the struct
ext4_extent members is, as Kazuya Mio suggested, to lower s_maxbytes
by one fs block so we can cover the whole extent we can get by the
on-disk extent format.

Also in many places EXT_MAX_BLOCK is used as length instead of maximum
logical block number as the name suggests, it is all a bit messy. So
this commit renames it to EXT_MAX_BLOCKS and change its usage in some
places to actually be maximum number of blocks in the extent.

The bug which this commit fixes can be reproduced as follows:

 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=&lt;blocksize&gt; count=1 seek=$((2**32-2))
 sync
 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=&lt;blocksize&gt; count=1 seek=$((2**32-1))

<title>ext4: drop ec_type from the ext4_ext_cache structure</title>

We can encode the ec_type information by using ee_len == 0 to denote
EXT4_EXT_CACHE_NO, ee_start == 0 to denote EXT4_EXT_CACHE_GAP, and if
neither is true, then the cache type must be EXT4_EXT_CACHE_EXTENT.
This allows us to reduce the size of ext4_ext_inode by another 8
bytes.  (ec_type is 4 bytes, plus another 4 bytes of padding)

This fixes a number of places where we used sector_t instead of
ext4_lblk_t for logical blocks, which for ext4 are still 32-bit data
types.  No point wasting space in the ext4_inode_info structure, and
requiring 64-bit arithmetic on 32-bit systems, when it isn't
necessary.

ext4_{ext,idx}_pblock() and ext4_{ext,idx}_store_pblock() since the
code size actually shrinks when we make these functions inline,
they're so trivial.

These functions have no need to be exported beyond file context.

No functions needed to be moved for this commit; just some function
declarations changed to be static and removed from header files.

(A similar patch was submitted by Eric Sandeen, but I wanted to handle
code movement in separate patches to make sure code changes didn't
accidentally get dropped.)

<title>ext4: Calculate metadata requirements more accurately</title>

<content type='text'>
In the past, ext4_calc_metadata_amount(), and its sub-functions
ext4_ext_calc_metadata_amount() and ext4_indirect_calc_metadata_amount()
badly over-estimated the number of metadata blocks that might be
required for delayed allocation blocks.  This didn't matter as much
when functions which managed the reserved metadata blocks were more
aggressive about dropping reserved metadata blocks as delayed
allocation blocks were written, but unfortunately they were too
aggressive.  This was fixed in commit 0637c6f, but as a result the
over-estimation by ext4_calc_metadata_amount() would lead to reserving
2-3 times the number of pending delayed allocation blocks as
potentially required metadata blocks.  So if there are 1 megabytes of
blocks which have been not yet been allocation, up to 3 megabytes of
space would get reserved out of the user's quota and from the file
system free space pool until all of the inode's data blocks have been
allocated.

This commit addresses this problem by much more accurately estimating
the number of metadata blocks that will be required.  It will still
somewhat over-estimate the number of blocks needed, since it must make
a worst case estimate not knowing which physical blocks will be
needed, but it is much more accurate than before.

When writing into an unitialized extent via direct I/O, and the direct
I/O doesn't exactly cover the unitialized extent, split the extent
into uninitialized and initialized extents before submitting the I/O.
This avoids needing to deal with an ENOSPC error in the end_io
callback that gets used for direct I/O.

When the IO is complete, the written extent will be marked as initialized.
