fs/buffer.c: add device information for error output in __find_get_block_slow()

On the ext4 mailing list[1], we got some report about errors in
__find_get_block_slow(), but the information is very limited.

If the device information is given, we can know the name of the sick
volume.  Futhermore, we can get the corresponding status of that
block(group, inode block etc) by analyzing the disk layout.

fs: only send IPI to invalidate LRU BH when needed

In several code paths, such as when unmounting a file system (but not
only) we send an IPI to ask each cpu to invalidate its local LRU BHs.

For multi-cores systems that have many cpus that may not have any LRU BH
because they are idle or because they have not performed any file system
accesses since last invalidation (e.g.  CPU crunching on high perfomance
computing nodes that write results to shared memory or only using
filesystems that do not use the bh layer.) This can lead to loss of
performance each time someone switches the KVM (the virtual keyboard and
screen type, not the hypervisor) if it has a USB storage stuck in.

This patch attempts to only send an IPI to cpus that have LRU BH.

ext4: fix mtime update in nodelalloc mode

Commits 5e8830dc85d0 and 41c4d25f78c0 introduced a regression into
v3.6-rc1 for ext4 in nodealloc mode, such that mtime updates would not
take place for files modified via mmap if the page was already in the
page cache.  This would also affect ext3 file systems mounted using
the ext4 file system driver.

The problem was that ext4_page_mkwrite() had a shortcut which would
avoid calling __block_page_mkwrite() under some circumstances, and the
above two commit transferred the responsibility of calling
file_update_time() to __block_page_mkwrite --- which woudln't get
called in some circumstances.

Since __block_page_mkwrite() only has three callers,
block_page_mkwrite(), ext4_page_mkwrite, and nilfs_page_mkwrite(), the
best way to solve this is to move the responsibility for calling
file_update_time() to its caller.

This problem was found via xfstests #215 with a file system mounted
with -o nodelalloc.

fs/buffer.c: make block-size be per-page and protected by the page lock

This makes the buffer size handling be a per-page thing, which allows us
to not have to worry about locking too much when changing the buffer
size.  If a page doesn't have buffers, we still need to read the block
size from the inode, but we can do that with ACCESS_ONCE(), so that even
if the size is changing, we get a consistent value.

This doesn't convert all functions - many of the buffer functions are
used purely by filesystems, which in turn results in the buffer size
being fixed at mount-time.  So they don't have the same consistency
issues that the raw device access can have.

vfs: avoid "attempt to access beyond end of device" warnings

The block device access simplification that avoided accessing the (racy)
block size information (commit bbec0270bdd8: "blkdev_max_block: make
private to fs/buffer.c") no longer checks the maximum block size in the
block mapping path.

That was _almost_ as simple as just removing the code entirely, because
the readers and writers all check the size of the device anyway, so
under normal circumstances it "just worked".

However, the block size may be such that the end of the device may
straddle one single buffer_head.  At which point we may still want to
access the end of the device, but the buffer we use to access it
partially extends past the end.

The 'bd_set_size()' function intentionally sets the block size to avoid
this, but mounting the device - or setting the block size by hand to
some other value - can modify that block size.

So instead, teach 'submit_bh()' about the special case of the buffer
head straddling the end of the device, and turning such an access into a
smaller IO access, avoiding the problem.

This, btw, also means that unlike before, we can now access the whole
device regardless of device block size setting.  So now, even if the
device size is only 512-byte aligned, we can read and write even the
last sector even when having a much bigger block size for accessing the
rest of the device.

So with this, we could now get rid of the 'bd_set_size()' block size
code entirely - resulting in faster IO for the common case - but that
would be a separate patch.

buffer: make touch_buffer() an exported function

We want to add a trace point to touch_buffer() but macros and inline
functions defined in header files can't have tracing points.  Move
touch_buffer() to fs/buffer.c and make it a proper function.

The new exported function is also declared inline.  As most uses of
touch_buffer() are inside buffer.c with nilfs2 as the only other user,
the effect of this change should be negligible.

The former is triggered from touch_buffer() and the latter
mark_buffer_dirty().

This is part of tracepoint additions to improve visiblity into

v2: Transformed writeback_dirty_buffer to block_dirty_buffer and made
    it share TP definition with block_touch_buffer.

vfs: add missing virtual cache flush after editing partial pages

Andrew Morton pointed this out a month ago, and then I completely forgot
about it.

If we read a partial last page of a block device, we will zero out the
end of the page, but since that page can then be mapped into user space,
we should also make sure to flush the cache on architectures that have
virtual caches.  We have the flush_dcache_page() function for this, so
use it.

Now, in practice this really never matters, because nobody sane uses
virtual caches to begin with, and they largely exist on old broken RISC
arhitectures.

And even if you did run on one of those obsolete CPU's, the whole "mmap
and access the last partial page of a block device" behavior probably
doesn't actually exist.  The normal IO functions (read/write) will never
see the zeroed-out part of the page that migth not be coherent in the
cache, because they honor the size of the device.

So I'm marking this for stable (3.7 only), but I'm not sure anybody will
ever care.
