ubifs: tnc: use monotonic znode timestamp

The tnc uses get_seconds() based timestamps to check the age of a znode,
which has two problems: on 32-bit architectures this may overflow in
2038 or 2106, and it gives incorrect information when the system time
is updated using settimeofday().

Using montonic timestamps with ktime_get_seconds() solves both thes
problems.

After analyzing the code, I found a condition that may cause this failed
in correct operations. Thus, I think this assertion is wrong and should be
removed.

Suppose there are two clean znodes and one dirty znode in TNC. So the
per-filesystem atomic_t @clean_zn_cnt is (2). If commit start, dirty_znode
is set to COW_ZNODE in get_znodes_to_commit() in case of potentially ops
on this znode. We clear COW bit and DIRTY bit in write_index() without
@tnc_mutex locked. We don't increase @clean_zn_cnt in this place. As the
comments in write_index() shows, if another process hold @tnc_mutex and
dirty this znode after we clean it, @clean_zn_cnt would be decreased to (1).
We will increase @clean_zn_cnt to (2) with @tnc_mutex locked in
free_obsolete_znodes() to keep it right.

If shrink_tnc() performs between decrease and increase, it will release
other 2 clean znodes it holds and found @clean_zn_cnt is less than zero
(1 - 2 = -1), then hit the assertion. Because free_obsolete_znodes() will
soon correct @clean_zn_cnt and no harm to fs in this case, I think this
assertion could be removed.

2 clean zondes and 1 dirty znode, @clean_zn_cnt == 2

Thread A (commit) Thread B (write or others) Thread C (shrinker)

->clear_bit(DIRTY_NODE)
->clear_bit(COW_ZNODE)

fs: convert fs shrinkers to new scan/count API

Convert the filesystem shrinkers to use the new API, and standardise some
of the behaviours of the shrinkers at the same time. For example,
nr_to_scan means the number of objects to scan, not the number of objects
to free.

I refactored the CIFS idmap shrinker a little - it really needs to be
broken up into a shrinker per tree and keep an item count with the tree
root so that we don't need to walk the tree every time the shrinker needs
to count the number of objects in the tree (i.e. all the time under
memory pressure).

UBIFS: fix shrinker object count reports

Sometimes VM asks the shrinker to return amount of objects it can shrink,
and we return the ubifs_clean_zn_cnt in that case. However, it is possible
that this counter is negative for a short period of time, due to the way
UBIFS TNC code updates it. And I can observe the following warnings sometimes:

shrink_slab: ubifs_shrinker+0x0/0x2b7 [ubifs] negative objects to delete nr=-8541616642706119788

This patch makes sure UBIFS never returns negative count of objects.

UBIFS: introduce new flags for RO mounts

Commit 2fde99cb55fb9d9b88180512a5e8a5d939d27fec "UBIFS: mark VFS SB RO too"
introduced regression. This commit made UBIFS set the 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the
VFS superblock when it switches to R/O mode due to an error. This was done
to make VFS show the R/O UBIFS flag in /proc/mounts.

However, several places in UBIFS relied on the 'MS_RDONLY' flag and assume this
flag can only change when we re-mount. For example, 'ubifs_put_super()'.

This patch introduces new UBIFS flag - 'c->ro_mount' which changes only when
we re-mount, and preserves the way UBIFS was originally mounted (R/W or R/O).
This allows us to de-initialize UBIFS cleanly in 'ubifs_put_super()'.

This patch also changes all 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)' assertions to
'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media && !c->ro_mount)', because we never should write
anything if the FS was mounter R/O.

All the places where we test for 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS SB were changed
and now we test the 'c->ro_mount' flag instead, because it preserves the
original UBIFS mount type, unlike the 'MS_RDONLY' flag.

# 2680d722 17-Sep-2010 Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

UBIFS: introduce new flag for RO due to errors

The R/O state may have various reasons:

1. The UBI volume is R/O
2. The FS is mounted R/O
3. The FS switched to R/O mode because of an error

However, in UBIFS we have only one variable which represents cases
1 and 3 - 'c->ro_media'. Indeed, we set this to 1 if we switch to
R/O mode due to an error, and then we test it in many places to
make sure that we stop writing as soon as the error happens.

But this is very unclean. One consequence of this, for example, is
that in 'ubifs_remount_fs()' we use 'c->ro_media' to check whether
we are in R/O mode because on an error, and we print a message
in this case. However, if we are in R/O mode because the media
is R/O, our message is bogus.

This patch introduces new flag - 'c->ro_error' which is set when
we switch to R/O mode because of an error. It also changes all
"if (c->ro_media)" checks to "if (c->ro_error)" checks, because
this is what the checks actually mean. We do not need to check
for 'c->ro_media' because if the UBI volume is in R/O mode, we
do not allow R/W mounting, and now writes can happen. This is
guaranteed by VFS. But it is good to double-check this, so this
patch also adds many "ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)" checks.

In the 'ubifs_remount_fs()' function this patch makes a bit more
changes - it fixes the error messages as well.

mm: add context argument to shrinker callback

The current shrinker implementation requires the registered callback
to have global state to work from. This makes it difficult to shrink
caches that are not global (e.g. per-filesystem caches). Pass the shrinker
structure to the callback so that users can embed the shrinker structure
in the context the shrinker needs to operate on and get back to it in the
callback via container_of().
