Commit 4f579ae7de56 (ext4: fix punch hole on files with indirect
mapping) rewrote FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE for ext4 files with indirect
mapping. However, there are bugs in several corner cases. This fixes 5
distinct bugs:

1. When there is at least one entire level of indirection between the
start and end of the punch range and the end of the punch range is the
first block of its level, we can't return early; we have to free the
intervening levels.

2. When the end is at a higher level of indirection than the start and
ext4_find_shared returns a top branch for the end, we still need to free
the rest of the shared branch it returns; we can't decrement partial2.

3. When a punch happens within one level of indirection, we need to
converge on an indirect block that contains the start and end. However,
because the branches returned from ext4_find_shared do not necessarily
start at the same level (e.g., the partial2 chain will be shallower if
the last block occurs at the beginning of an indirect group), the walk
of the two chains can end up "missing" each other and freeing a bunch of
extra blocks in the process. This mismatch can be handled by first
making sure that the chains are at the same level, then walking them
together until they converge.

4. When the punch happens within one level of indirection and
ext4_find_shared returns a top branch for the start, we must free it,
but only if the end does not occur within that branch.

5. When the punch happens within one level of indirection and
ext4_find_shared returns a top branch for the end, then we shouldn't
free the block referenced by the end of the returned chain (this mirrors
the different levels case).

<title>ext4: prepare to drop EXT4_STATE_DELALLOC_RESERVED</title>

<id>e3cf5d5d9a86df1c5e413bdd3725c25a16ff854c</id>
<content type='text'>
The EXT4_STATE_DELALLOC_RESERVED flag was originally implemented
because it was too hard to make sure the mballoc and get_block flags
could be reliably passed down through all of the codepaths that end up
calling ext4_mb_new_blocks().

Since then, we have mb_flags passed down through most of the code
paths, so getting rid of EXT4_STATE_DELALLOC_RESERVED isn't as tricky
as it used to.

This commit plumbs in the last of what is required, and then adds a
WARN_ON check to make sure we haven't missed anything.  If this passes
a full regression test run, we can then drop
EXT4_STATE_DELALLOC_RESERVED.

Instead of initializing the allocation_request structure in
ext4_alloc_branch(), set it up in ext4_ind_map_blocks(), and then pass
it to ext4_alloc_branch() and ext4_splice_branch().

This allows ext4_ind_map_blocks to pass flags in the allocation
request structure without having to add Yet Another argument to
ext4_alloc_branch().

Currently punch hole code on files with direct/indirect mapping has some
problems which may lead to a data loss. For example (from Jan Kara):

fallocate -n -p 10240000 4096

will punch the range 10240000 - 12632064 instead of the range 1024000 -
10244096.

Also the code is a bit weird and it's not using infrastructure provided
by indirect.c, but rather creating it's own way.

This patch fixes the issues as well as making the operation to run 4
times faster from my testing (punching out 60GB file). It uses similar
approach used in ext4_ind_truncate() which takes advantage of
ext4_free_branches() function.

Also rename the ext4_free_hole_blocks() to something more sensible, like
the equivalent we have for extent mapped files. Call it
ext4_ind_remove_space().

This has been tested mostly with fsx and some xfstests which are testing
punch hole but does not require unwritten extents which are not
supported with direct/indirect mapping. Not problems showed up even with
1024k block size.

Hole punching code for files with indirect blocks wrongly computed
number of blocks which need to be cleared when traversing the indirect
block tree. That could result in punching more blocks than actually
requested and thus effectively cause a data loss. For example:

fallocate -n -p 10240000 4096

will punch the range 10240000 - 12632064 instead of the range 1024000 -

free_holes_block() passed local variable as a block pointer
to ext4_clear_blocks(). Thus ext4_clear_blocks() zeroed out this local
variable instead of proper place in inode / indirect block. We later
zero out proper place in inode / indirect block but don't dirty the
inode / buffer again which can lead to subtle issues (some changes e.g.
to inode can be lost).

Error recovery in ext4_alloc_branch() calls ext4_forget() even for
buffer corresponding to indirect block it did not allocate. This leads
to brelse() being called twice for that buffer (once from ext4_forget()
and once from cleanup in ext4_ind_map_blocks()) leading to buffer use
count misaccounting. Eventually (but often much later because there
are other users of the buffer) we will see messages like:
VFS: brelse: Trying to free free buffer

Another manifestation of this problem is an error:
JBD2 unexpected failure: jbd2_journal_revoke: !buffer_revoked(bh);
inconsistent data on disk

The fix is easy - don't forget buffer we did not allocate. Also add an
explanatory comment because the indexing at ext4_alloc_branch() is
somewhat subtle.
