drbd: Defer new writes when detecting conflicting writes
Before submitting a new local write request, wait for any conflicting
local or remote requests to complete.
We could assume that the new request occurred first and that the
conflicting requests overwrote it (and therefore discard the new
reques), but we know for sure that the new request occurred after the
conflicting requests and so this behavior would we weird. We would also
end up with the wrong result if the new request is not fully contained
within the conflicting requests.

There are cases where suppressing partition scan is useful - e.g. for
lo devices and pseudo SATA devices which advertise to be a disk but
get upset on partition scan (some port multiplier control devices show
such behavior).
This patch adds GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN which suppresses partition scan
regardless of the number of possible partitions. disk_partitionable()
is renamed to disk_part_scan_enabled() as suppressing partition scan
doesn't imply the device can't be partitioned using

loop: add discard support for loop devices
This commit adds discard support for loop devices. Discard is usually
supported by SSD and thinly provisioned devices as a method for
reclaiming unused space. This is no different than trying to reclaim
back space which is not used by the file system on the image, but it
still occupies space on the host file system.
We can do the reclamation on file system which does support hole
punching. So when discard request gets to the loop driver we can
translate that to punch a hole to the underlying file, hence reclaim
the free space.
This is very useful for trimming down the size of the image to only what
is really used by the file system on that image. Fstrim may be used for
that purpose.
It has been tested on ext4, xfs and btrfs with the image file systems
ext4, ext3, xfs and btrfs. ext4, or ext6 image on ext4 file system has
some problems but it seems that ext4 punch hole implementation is
somewhat flawed and it is unrelated to this commit.
Also this is a very good method of validating file systems punch hole
implementation.
Note that when encryption is used, discard support is disabled, because
using it might leak some information useful for possible attacker.

The optimized asm version is also probably slower than the new improved

vfs: optimize inode cache access patterns
The inode structure layout is largely random, and some of the vfs paths
really do care. The path lookup in particular is already quite D$
intensive, and profiles show that accessing the 'inode->i_op->xyz'
fields is quite costly.
We already optimized the dcache to not unnecessarily load the d_op
structure for members that are often NULL using the DCACHE_OP_xyz bits
in dentry->d_flags, and this does something very similar for the inode
ops that are used during pathname lookup.
It also re-orders the fields so that the fields accessed by 'stat' are
together at the beginning of the inode structure, and roughly in the
order accessed.
The effect of this seems to be in the 1-2% range for an empty kernel
"make -j" run (which is fairly kernel-intensive, mostly in filename
lookup), so it's visible. The numbers are fairly noisy, though, and
likely depend a lot on exact microarchitecture. So there's more tuning

exofs: ios: Move to a per inode components & device-table
Exofs raid engine was saving on memory space by having a single layout-info,
single pid, and a single device-table, global to the filesystem. Then passing
a credential and object_id info at the io_state level, private for each
inode. It would also devise this contraption of rotating the device table
view for each inode->ino to spread out the device usage.
This is not compatible with the pnfs-objects standard, demanding that
each inode can have it's own layout-info, device-table, and each object
component it's own pid, oid and creds.
So: Bring exofs raid engine to be usable for generic pnfs-objects use by:
* Define an exofs_comp structure that holds obj_id and credential info.
* Break up exofs_layout struct to an exofs_components structure that holds a
possible array of exofs_comp and the array of devices + the size of the
arrays.
* Add a "comps" parameter to get_io_state() that specifies the ids creds
and device array to use for each IO.
This enables to keep the layout global, but the device-table view, creds
and IDs at the inode level. It only adds two 64bit to each inode, since
some of these members already existed in another form.
* ios raid engine now access layout-info and comps-info through the passed
pointers. Everything is pre-prepared by caller for generic access of
these structures and arrays.
At the exofs Level:
* Super block holds an exofs_components struct that holds the device
array, previously in layout. The devices there are in device-table
order. The device-array is twice bigger and repeats the device-table
twice so now each inode's device array can point to a random device
and have a round-robin view of the table, making it compatible to
previous exofs versions.
* Each inode has an exofs_components struct that is initialized at
load time, with it's own view of the device table IDs and creds.
When doing IO this gets passed to the io_state together with the
layout.
While preforming this change. Bugs where found where credentials with the
wrong IDs where used to access the different SB objects (super.c). As well
as some dead code. It was never noticed because the target we use does not
check the credentials.
