This is a series of patches in preparation to the removal of the big kernel
lock from ext2. It consists mostly of cleanup patches to later introduce a
spinlock to protect some of the superblock's fields against concurrent access.
With the spinlock in place we don't need to use the big kernel lock anymore.
This series has been part of the BKL removal patches that I have posted in
November 2009 already. I've addressed the feedback kindly provided by Ogawa-san
by moving the ext2_write_super() out of ext2_setup_super().
Changes since v1:
- fix typo when setting MS_RDONLY
- take s_lock when setting EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_EXT_ATTR
- fold ext2_commit_super() into ext2_sync_super()
- include BKL removal patch
Thanks,
Jan

ext2: Use ext2_clear_super_error() in ext2_sync_fs()

This is probably a typo since the write time should actually be updated by
ext2_sync_fs() instead of the mount time.

Both function originally did similar things except that ext2_sync_super()
is returning after the call to sync_dirty_buffer(sbh). Therefore this
patch adds a wait flag to tell ext2_sync_super() if it has to call
sync_dirty_buffer() to wait for in-progress I/O to finish.

Depending in the state (valid or unchecked) of the filesystem either
ext2_sync_super() or ext2_commit_super() is called. If the filesystem is
currently valid (it is checked), we first mark it unchecked and afterwards
duplicate the work that ext2_sync_super() is doing later. Therefore this
patch removes the duplicate code and calls ext2_sync_super() directly after
marking the filesystem unchecked.

The BKL is still used in ext2_put_super(), ext2_fill_super(), ext2_sync_fs()
ext2_remount() and ext2_write_inode(). From these calls ext2_put_super(),
ext2_fill_super() and ext2_remount() are protected against each other by
the struct super_block s_umount rw semaphore. The call in ext2_write_inode()
could only protect the modification of the ext2_sb_info through
ext2_update_dynamic_rev() against concurrent ext2_sync_fs() or ext2_remount().
ext2_fill_super() and ext2_put_super() can be left out because you need a
valid filesystem reference in all three cases, which you do not have when
you are one of these functions.
If the BKL is only protecting the modification of the ext2_sb_info it can
safely be removed since this is protected by the struct ext2_sb_info s_lock.

1.6.4.2
Add a spinlock that protects against concurrent modifications of
s_mount_state, s_blocks_last, s_overhead_last and the content of the
superblock's buffer pointed to by sbi->s_es. The spinlock is now used in
ext2_xattr_update_super_block() which was setting the
EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_EXT_ATTR flag on the superblock without protection
before. Likewise the spinlock is used in ext2_show_options() to have a
consistent view of the mount options.
This is a preparation patch for removing the BKL from ext2 in the next
patch.
