There are many places which use mapping_gfp_mask to restrict a more
generic gfp mask which would be used for allocations which are not
directly related to the page cache but they are performed in the same
context.

Let's introduce a helper function which makes the restriction explicit and
easier to track.  This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

Use inode_set_flags() to atomically set i_flags instead of clearing out
the S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc.  flags and then setting them from the
FS_IMMUTABLE_FL, FS_APPEND_FL flags to avoid a race where an immutable
file has the immutable flag cleared for a brief window of time.

This is a similar fix to commit 5f16f3225b06 ("ext4: atomically set
inode-&gt;i_flags in ext4_set_inode_flags()").

<title>nilfs2: put out gfp mask manipulation from nilfs_set_inode_flags()</title>

nilfs_set_inode_flags() function adjusts gfp-mask of inode-&gt;i_mapping as
well as i_flags, however, this coupling of operations is not appropriate.

For instance, nilfs_ioctl_setflags(), one of three callers of
nilfs_set_inode_flags(), doesn't need to reinitialize the gfp-mask at all.
 In addition, nilfs_new_inode(), another caller of
nilfs_set_inode_flags(), doesn't either because it has already initialized
the gfp-mask.

Only __nilfs_read_inode(), the remaining caller, needs it.  So, this moves
the gfp mask manipulation to __nilfs_read_inode() from
nilfs_set_inode_flags().

The type of key arguments in block mapping interface varies depending
on function.  For instance, nilfs_bmap_lookup_at_level() takes "__u64"
for its key argument whereas nilfs_bmap_lookup() takes "unsigned
long".

This fits them to "__u64" to eliminate the variation.

<title>direct_IO: use iov_iter_rw() instead of rw everywhere</title>

<content type='text'>
The rw parameter to direct_IO is redundant with iov_iter-&gt;type, and
treated slightly differently just about everywhere it's used: some users
do rw &amp; WRITE, and others do rw == WRITE where they should be doing a
bitwise check. Simplify this with the new iov_iter_rw() helper, which
always returns either READ or WRITE.
