ce534fb052 fuse: allow splice to move pages
When splicing buffers to the fuse device with SPLICE_F_MOVE, try to
move pages from the pipe buffer into the page cache.  This allows
populating the fuse filesystem's cache without ever touching the page
contents, i.e. zero copy read capability.

The following steps are performed when trying to move a page into the
page cache:

 - buf->ops->confirm() to make sure the new page is uptodate
 - buf->ops->steal() to try to remove the new page from it's previous place
 - remove_from_page_cache() on the old page
 - add_to_page_cache_locked() on the new page

If any of the above steps fail (non fatally) then the code falls back
to copying the page.  In particular ->steal() will fail if there are
external references (other than the page cache and the pipe buffer) to
the page.

Also since the remove_from_page_cache() + add_to_page_cache_locked()
are non-atomic it is possible that the page cache is repopulated in
between the two and add_to_page_cache_locked() will fail.  This could
be fixed by creating a new atomic replace_page_cache_page() function.

fuse_readpages_end() needed to be reworked so it works even if
page->mapping is NULL for some or all pages which can happen if the
add_to_page_cache_locked() failed.

A number of sanity checks were added to make sure the stolen pages
don't have weird flags set, etc...  These could be moved into generic
splice/steal code.

b5dd328537 fuse: get page reference for readpages
Acquire a page ref on pages in ->readpages() and release them when the
read has finished.  Not acquiring a reference didn't seem to cause any
trouble since the page is locked and will not be kicked out of the
page cache during the read.

However the following patches will want to remove the page from the
cache so a separate ref is needed.  Making the reference in req->pages
explicit also makes the code easier to understand.

931e80e4b3 mm: flush dcache before writing into page to avoid alias
The cache alias problem will happen if the changes of user shared mapping
is not flushed before copying, then user and kernel mapping may be mapped
into two different cache line, it is impossible to guarantee the coherence
after iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic.  So the right steps should be:

	flush_dcache_page(page);
	kmap_atomic(page);
	write to page;
	kunmap_atomic(page);
	flush_dcache_page(page);

More precisely, we might create two new APIs flush_dcache_user_page and
flush_dcache_kern_page to replace the two flush_dcache_page accordingly.

Here is a snippet tested on omap2430 with VIPT cache, and I think it is
not ARM-specific:

	int val = 0x11111111;
	fd = open("abc", O_RDWR);
	addr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
	*(addr+0) = 0x44444444;
	tmp = *(addr+0);
	*(addr+1) = 0x77777777;
	write(fd, &val, sizeof(int));
	close(fd);

The results are not always 0x11111111 0x77777777 at the beginning as expected.  Sometimes we see 0x44444444 0x77777777.

c2ec175c39 mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault
Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
VM_FAULT_xxx flags.  There should be no functional change.

This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to
the VM (and also can provide more information eg.  virtual_address to the
driver, which might be important in some special cases).

This is required for a subsequent fix.  And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

54566b2c15 fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened.  They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim.  This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.

The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called.  It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock.  The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.

Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS.  Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function.  Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).

This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg.  ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

59efec7b90 fuse: implement ioctl support
Generic ioctl support is tricky to implement because only the ioctl
implementation itself knows which memory regions need to be read
and/or written.  To support this, fuse client can request retry of
ioctl specifying memory regions to read and write.  Deep copying
(nested pointers) can be implemented by retrying multiple times
resolving one depth of dereference at a time.

For security and cleanliness considerations, ioctl implementation has
restricted mode where the kernel determines data transfer directions
and sizes using the _IOC_*() macros on the ioctl command.  In this
mode, retry is not allowed.

For all FUSE servers, restricted mode is enforced.  Unrestricted ioctl
will be used by CUSE.

Plese read the comment on top of fs/fuse/file.c::fuse_file_do_ioctl()
for more information.

Adding lockd support for remote locking is also possible, but more rarely
used, so leave it till later.

78bb6cb9a8 fuse: add flag to turn on big writes
Prior to 2.6.26 fuse only supported single page write requests.  In theory all
fuse filesystem should be able support bigger than 4k writes, as there's
nothing in the API to prevent it.  Unfortunately there's a known case in
NTFS-3G where big writes cause filesystem corruption.  There could also be
other filesystems, where the lack of testing with big write requests would
result in bugs.

To prevent such problems on a kernel upgrade, disable big writes by default,
but let filesystems set a flag to turn it on.

5559b8f4d1 fuse: fix race in llseek
Fuse doesn't use i_mutex to protect setting i_size, and so
generic_file_llseek() can be racy: it doesn't use i_size_read().

So do a fuse specific llseek method, which does use i_size_read().

e5d9a0df07 fuse: fix max i/o size calculation
Fix a bug that Werner Baumann reported: fuse can send a bigger write request
than the maximum specified.  This only affected direct_io operation.

In addition set a sane minimum for the max_read and max_write tunables, so I/O
always makes some progress.

5c5c5e51b2 fuse: update file size on short read
If the READ request returned a short count, then either

  - cached size is incorrect
  - filesystem is buggy, as short reads are only allowed on EOF

So assume that the size is wrong and refresh it, so that cached read() doesn't
zero fill the missing chunk.

ea9b9907b8 fuse: implement perform_write
Introduce fuse_perform_write.  With fusexmp (a passthrough filesystem), large
(1MB) writes into a backing tmpfs filesystem are sped up by almost 4 times
(256MB/s vs 71MB/s).

[mszeredi@suse.cz]:

 - split into smaller functions
 - testing
 - duplicate generic_file_aio_write(), so that there's no need to add a
   new ->perform_write() a_op.  Comment from hch.
