nilfs2: use div64_ul() instead of do_div()

Fixes Coccinelle/coccicheck warnings reported by do_div.cocci.

Compared to do_div(), div64_ul() does not implicitly cast the divisor and
does not unnecessarily calculate the remainder.

nilfs2: convert DAT to use kmap_local

Concerning the code of the metadata file DAT for disk address translation,
convert all parts that use the deprecated kmap_atomic to use kmap_local.
All transformations are directly possible.

nilfs2: prevent WARNING in nilfs_dat_commit_end()

If nilfs2 reads a corrupted disk image and its DAT metadata file contains
invalid lifetime data for a virtual block number, a kernel warning can be
generated by the WARN_ON check in nilfs_dat_commit_end() and can panic if
the kernel is booted with panic_on_warn.

This patch avoids the issue with a sanity check that treats it as an
error.

Since error return is not allowed in the execution phase of
nilfs_dat_commit_end(), this inserts that sanity check in
nilfs_dat_prepare_end(), which prepares for nilfs_dat_commit_end().

As the error code, -EINVAL is returned to notify bmap layer of the
metadata corruption. When the bmap layer sees this code, it handles the
abnormal situation and replaces the return code with -EIO as it should.

nilfs2: replace WARN_ONs for invalid DAT metadata block requests

If DAT metadata file block access fails due to corruption of the DAT file
or abnormal virtual block numbers held by b-trees or inodes, a kernel
warning is generated.

This replaces the WARN_ONs by error output, so that a kernel, booted with
panic_on_warn, does not panic. This patch also replaces the detected
return code -ENOENT with another internal code -EINVAL to notify the bmap
layer of metadata corruption. When the bmap layer sees -EINVAL, it
handles the abnormal situation with nilfs_bmap_convert_error() and finally
returns code -EIO as it should.

If DAT metadata file is corrupted on disk, there is a case where
req->pr_desc_bh is NULL and blocknr is 0 at nilfs_dat_commit_end() during
a b-tree operation that cascadingly updates ancestor nodes of the b-tree,
because nilfs_dat_commit_alloc() for a lower level block can initialize
the blocknr on the same DAT entry between nilfs_dat_prepare_end() and
nilfs_dat_commit_end().

If this happens, nilfs_dat_commit_end() calls nilfs_dat_commit_free()
without valid buffer heads in req->pr_desc_bh and req->pr_bitmap_bh, and
causes the NULL pointer dereference above in
nilfs_palloc_commit_free_entry() function, which leads to a crash.

Fix this by adding a NULL check on req->pr_desc_bh and req->pr_bitmap_bh
before nilfs_palloc_commit_free_entry() in nilfs_dat_commit_free().

This also calls nilfs_error() in that case to notify that there is a fatal
flaw in the filesystem metadata and prevent further operations.

nilfs2: verify metadata sizes read from disk

Add code to check sizes of on-disk data of metadata files such as inode
size, segment usage size, DAT entry size, and checkpoint size. Although
these sizes are read from disk, the current implementation doesn't check
them.

If these sizes are not sane on disk, it can cause out-of-range access to
metadata or memory access overrun on metadata block buffers due to
overflow in sundry calculations.

Both lower limit and upper limit of metadata sizes are verified to
prevent these issues.

This provides the opportunity to initialize local variables of each
metadata file after reading the inode.

nilfs2: separate constructor of metadata files

This will displace nilfs_mdt_new() constructor with individual
metadata file constructors like nilfs_dat_new(), new_sufile_new(),
nilfs_cpfile_new(), and nilfs_ifile_new().

This makes it possible for each metadata file to have own
intialization code.

nilfs2: add update functions of virtual block address to dat

This is a preparation for the successive cleanup ("nilfs2: allow btree
to directly call dat operations").

This adds functions bundling a few operations to change an entry of
virtual block address on the dat file.

nilfs2: fix incorrect KERN_CRIT messages in case of write failures

In case of write-failure retries, the following KERN_CRIT level
messages are mistakenly output by nilfs_dat_commit_start() function:

nilfs_dat_commit_start: vbn = 408463, start = 12506, end = 18446744073709551615, pbn = 530210
nilfs_dat_commit_start: vbn = 408515, start = 12506, end = 18446744073709551615, pbn = 530211
nilfs_dat_commit_start: vbn = 408464, start = 12506, end = 18446744073709551615, pbn = 530212
...

This suppresses these messages.

nilfs2: allow future expansion of metadata read out via get info ioctl

Nilfs has some ioctl commands to read out metadata from meta data
files:

- NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO for checkpoint file,
- NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUINFO for segment usage file, and
- NILFS_IOCTL_GET_VINFO for Disk Address Transalation (DAT) file,
respectively.

Every routine on these metadata files is implemented so that it allows
future expansion of on-disk format. But, the above ioctl commands do
not support expansion even though nilfs_argv structure can handle
arbitrary size for data exchanged via ioctl.

This allows future expansion of the following structures which give
basic format of the "get information" ioctls:

- struct nilfs_cpinfo
- struct nilfs_suinfo
- struct nilfs_vinfo

So, this introduces forward compatility of such ioctl commands.

In this patch, a sanity check in nilfs_ioctl_get_info() function is
changed to accept larger data structure [1], and metadata read
routines are rewritten so that they become compatible for larger
structures; the routines will just ignore the remaining fields which
the current version of nilfs doesn't know.

[1] The ioctl function already has another upper limit (PAGE_SIZE
against a structure, which appears in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy
function), and this will not cause security problem.

nilfs2: replace BUG_ON and BUG calls triggerable from ioctl

Pekka Enberg advised me:
> It would be nice if BUG(), BUG_ON(), and panic() calls would be
> converted to proper error handling using WARN_ON() calls. The BUG()
> call in nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints(), for example, looks to be
> triggerable from user-space via the ioctl() system call.

This will follow the comment and keep them to a minimum.

nilfs2: disk address translator

This adds the disk address translation file (DAT) whose primary function
is to convert virtual disk block numbers to actual disk block numbers.

The virtual block numbers of NILFS are associated with checkpoint
generation numbers, and this file also provides functions to manage the
lifetime information of each virtual block number.
