These flags aren't real I/O types, but tell ll_rw_block to always
lock the buffer instead of giving up on a failed trylock.

Instead add a new write_dirty_buffer helper that implements this semantic
and use it from the existing SWRITE* callers.  Note that the ll_rw_block
code had a bug where it didn't promote WRITE_SYNC_PLUG properly, which
this patch fixes.

In the ufs code clean up the helper that used to call ll_rw_block
to mirror sync_dirty_buffer, which is the function it implements for
compound buffers.

<title>drop linux/ufs_fs.h from userspace export and relocate it to fs/ufs/ufs_fs.h</title>

Per previous discussions about cleaning up ufs_fs.h, people just want
this straight up dropped from userspace export.  The only remaining
consumer (silo) has been fixed a while ago to not rely on this header.
This allows use to move it completely from include/linux/ to fs/ufs/
seeing as how the only in-kernel consumer is fs/ufs/.

Move prototypes and in-core structures to fs/ufs/ similar to what most
other filesystems already do.

I made little modifications: move also ufs debug macros and
mount options constants into fs/ufs/ufs.h, this stuff
also private for ufs.

Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.

I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
block2mtd.  All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
with a !uptodate page.

ufs_get_locked_page is called twice in ufs code, one time in ufs_truncate
path(we allocated last block), and another time when fragments are
reallocated.  In ideal world in the second case on allocation/free block
layer we should not know that things like `truncate' exists, but now with
such crutch like ufs_get_locked_page we can (or should?) skip truncated
pages.

As discussed earlier:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/6/28/136
this patch fixes such issue:

`ufs_get_locked_page' takes page from cache
after that `vmtruncate' takes page and deletes it from cache
`ufs_get_locked_page' locks page, and reports about EIO error.

Also because of find_lock_page always return valid page or NULL, we have no
need to check it if page not NULL.

<title>[PATCH] ufs: truncate should allocate block for last byte</title>

This patch fixes buggy behaviour of UFS
in such kind of scenario:
open(, O_TRUNC...)
ftruncate(, 1024)
ftruncate(, 0)

Such a scenario causes ufs_panic and remount read-only.  This happen
because of according to specification UFS should always allocate block for
last byte, and many parts of our implementation rely on this, but
`ufs_truncate' doesn't care about this.

To make possible return error code and to know about old size, this patch
removes `truncate' from ufs inode_operations and uses `setattr' method to
call ufs_truncate.

Currently to turn on debug mode "user" has to edit ~10 files, to turn off he
has to do it again.
