Currently implementation in gfs2 uses FITRIM arguments as it were in
file system blocks units which is wrong. The FITRIM arguments
(fstrim_range.start, fstrim_range.len and fstrim_range.minlen) are
actually in bytes.

Moreover, check for start argument beyond the end of file system, len
argument being smaller than file system block and minlen argument being
bigger than biggest resource group were missing.

This commit converts the code to convert FITRIM argument to file system
blocks and also adds appropriate checks mentioned above.

All the problems were recognised by xfstests 251 and 260.

When the fstrim_range argument is not provided by user in FITRIM ioctl
we should just return EFAULT and not promoting bad behaviour by filling
the structure in kernel. Let the user deal with it.

Despite the return value from kmem_cache_zalloc() being checked, the
error wasn't being returned until after a possible null pointer
dereference. This patch returns the error immediately, allowing the
removal of the error variable.

This patch fixes an infinite loop in gfs2_rbm_find that was introduced
by the previous patch. The problem occurred when the length was less
than 3 but the rbm block was byte-aligned, causing it to improperly
return a extent length of zero, which caused it to spin.

<title>GFS2: Consolidate free block searching functions</title>

<content type='text'>
With the recently added block reservation code, an additional function
was added to search for free blocks. This had a restriction of only being
able to search for aligned extents of free blocks. As a result the
allocation patterns when reserving blocks were suboptimal when the
existing allocation of blocks for an inode was not aligned to the same
boundary.

This patch resolves that problem by adding the ability for gfs2_rbm_find
to search for extents of a particular minimum size. We can then use
gfs2_rbm_find for both looking for reservations, and also looking for
free blocks on an individual basis when we actually come to do the
allocation later on. As a result we only need a single set of code
to deal with both situations.

The function gfs2_rbm_from_block() is moved up rgrp.c so that it
occurs before all of its callers.

Many thanks are due to Bob for helping track down the final issue in
this patch. That fix to the rb_tree traversal and to not share
block reservations from a dirctory to its children is included here.

This patch stops multiple block allocations if a nonzero
return code is received from gfs2_rbm_from_block. Without
this patch, if enough pressure is put on the file system,
you get a kernel warning quickly followed by:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: [&lt;ffffffffa04f47e8&gt;] gfs2_alloc_blocks+0x2c8/0x880 [gfs2]
With this patch, things run normally.

<title>GFS2: Fix unclaimed_blocks() wrapping bug and clean up</title>

When rgd-&gt;rd_free_clone is less than rgd-&gt;rd_reserved, the
unclaimed_blocks() calculation would wrap and produce
incorrect results. This patch checks for this condition
when this function is called from gfs2_mblk_search()

In addition, the use of this particular function in other
places in the code has been dropped by means of a general
clean up of gfs2_inplace_reserve(). This function is now
much easier to follow.

Also the setting of the rgd-&gt;rd_last_alloc field is corrected.

<title>GFS2: Improve block reservation tracing</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch improves the tracing of block reservations by
removing some corner cases and also providing more useful
detail in the traces.

A new field is added to the reservation structure to contain
the inode number. This is used since in certain contexts it is
not possible to access the inode itself to obtain this information.
As a result we can then display the inode number for all tracepoints
and also in case we dump the resource group.

The "del" tracepoint operation has been removed. This could be called
with the reservation rgrp set to NULL. That resulted in not printing
the device number, and thus making the information largely useless
anyway. Also, the conditional on the rgrp being NULL can then be
removed from the tracepoint. After this change, all the block
reservation tracepoint calls will be called with the rgrp information.

The existing ins,clm and tdel calls to the block reservation tracepoint
are sufficient to track the entire life of the block reservation.

In gfs2_block_alloc() the error detection is updated to print out
the inode number of the problematic inode. This can then be compared
against the information in the glock dump,tracepoints, etc.

When we get to the stage of allocating blocks, we know that the
resource group in question must contain enough free blocks, otherwise
gfs2_inplace_reserve() would have failed. So if we are left with only
free blocks which are reserved, then we must use those. This can happen
if another node has sneeked in and use some blocks reserved on this
node, for example. Generally this will happen very rarely and only
when the resouce group is nearly full.

Use the rbm structure for gfs2_setbit() in order to simplify the
arguments to the function. We have to add a bool to control whether
the clone bitmap should be updated (if it exists) but otherwise it
is a more or less direct substitution.
