This patch makes it possible to kill a process looping in
cont_expand_zero. A process may spend a lot of time in this function, so
it is desirable to be able to kill it.

It happened to me that I wanted to copy a piece data from the disk to a
file. By mistake, I used the "seek" parameter to dd instead of "skip". Due
to the "seek" parameter, dd attempted to extend the file and became stuck
doing so - the only possibility was to reset the machine or wait many
hours until the filesystem runs out of space and cont_expand_zero fails.
We need this patch to be able to terminate the process.

For DAX, we want to be able to copy between iovecs and kernel addresses
that don't necessarily have a struct page.  This is a fairly simple
rearrangement for bvec iters to kmap the pages outside and pass them in,
but for user iovecs it gets more complicated because we might try various
different ways to kmap the memory.  Duplicating the existing logic works
out best in this case.

We need to be able to write zeroes to an iovec for reads from unwritten
ranges in a file.  This is performed by the new iov_iter_zero() function,
again patterned after the existing code that handles iovec iterators.

total_objects could be 0 and is used as a denom.

While total_objects is a "long", total_objects == 0 unlikely happens for
3.12 and later kernels because 32-bit architectures would not be able to
hold (1 << 32) objects. However, total_objects == 0 may happen for kernels
between 3.1 and 3.11 because total_objects in prune_super() was an "int"
and (e.g.) x86_64 architecture might be able to hold (1 << 32) objects.

schedule_delayed_work() happening when the work is already pending is
a cheap no-op.  Don't bother with ->wbuf_queued logics - it's both
broken (cancelling ->wbuf_dwork leaves it set, as spotted by Jeff Harris)
and pointless.  It's cheaper to let schedule_delayed_work() handle that
case.

The function which calls s_op->alloc_inode() is not inode_alloc(), but
instead alloc_inode() which lives in fs/inode.c .

The typo was there from the beginning from 5ea626aa (VFS: update
documentation, 2005) - there was no standalone inode_alloc() for the
whole kernel history.

the only in-tree instance checks d_unhashed() anyway,
out-of-tree code can preserve the current behaviour by
adding such check if they want it and we get an ability
to use it in cases where we *want* to be notified of
killing being inevitable before ->d_lock is dropped,
whether it's unhashed or not.  In particular, autofs
would benefit from that.

The only reason for games with ->d_prune() was __d_drop(), which
was needed only to force dput() into killing the sucker off.

Note that lock_parent() can be called under ->i_lock and won't
drop it, so dentry is safe from somebody managing to kill it
under us - it won't happen while we are holding ->i_lock.

__dentry_kill() is called only with ->d_lockref.count being 0
(here and when picked from shrink list) or 1 (dput() and dropping
the ancestors in shrink_dentry_list()), so it will never be called
twice - the first thing it's doing is making ->d_lockref.count
negative and once that happens, nothing will increment it.

Now that d_invalidate always succeeds and flushes mount points use
it in stead of a combination of shrink_dcache_parent and d_drop
in proc_flush_task_mnt.  This removes the danger of a mount point
under /proc/<pid>/... becoming unreachable after the d_drop.

Now that d_invalidate always succeeds it is not longer necessary or

Remove the unnecessary d_drop calls and rely on d_invalidate
to drop the dentries.  Using d_invalidate ensures that paths
to mount points will not be dropped.
