Currently, an fallocate request of size slightly larger than a power of
2 is turned into two block requests, each a power of 2, with the extra
blocks pre-allocated for future use. When an application calls
fallocate, it already has an idea about how large the file may grow so
there is usually little benefit to reserve extra blocks on the
preallocation list. This reduces disk fragmentation.
Tested: fsstress. Also verified manually that fallocat'ed files are
contiguously laid out with this change (whereas without it they begin at
power-of-2 boundaries, leaving blocks in between). CPU usage of
fallocate is not appreciably higher. In a tight fallocate loop, CPU
usage hovers between 5%-8% with this change, and 5%-7% without it.
Using a simulated file system aging program which the file system to
70%, the percentage of free extents larger than 8MB (as measured by
e2freefrag) increased from 38.8% without this change, to 69.4% with
this change.

This patch adds new routines: "ext4_punch_hole" "ext4_ext_punch_hole"
and "ext4_ext_check_cache"
fallocate has been modified to call ext4_punch_hole when the punch hole
flag is passed. At the moment, we only support punching holes in
extents, so this routine is pretty much a wrapper for the ext4_ext_punch_hole
routine.
The ext4_ext_punch_hole routine first completes all outstanding writes
with the associated pages, and then releases them. The unblock
aligned data is zeroed, and all blocks in between are punched out.
The ext4_ext_check_cache routine is very similar to ext4_ext_in_cache
except it accepts a ext4_ext_cache parameter instead of a ext4_extent
parameter. This routine is used by ext4_ext_punch_hole to check and
see if a block in a hole that has been cached. The ext4_ext_cache
parameter is necessary because the members ext4_extent structure are
not large enough to hold a 32 bit value. The existing
ext4_ext_in_cache routine has become a wrapper to this new function.

This patch adds a new flag to ext4_map_blocks() that specifies the
given range of blocks should be punched out. Extents are first
converted to uninitialized extents before they are punched
out. Because punching a hole may require that the extent be split, it
is possible that the splitting may need more blocks than are
available. To deal with this, use of reserved blocks are enabled to
allow the split to proceed.
The routine then returns the number of blocks successfully
punched out.

This patch modifies the truncate routines to support hole punching
Below is a brief summary of the patches changes:
- Added end param to ext_ext4_rm_leaf
This function has been modified to accept an end parameter
which enables it to punch holes in leafs instead of just
truncating them.
- Implemented the "remove head" case in the ext_remove_blocks routine
This routine is used by ext_ext4_rm_leaf to remove the tail
of an extent during a truncate. The new ext_ext4_rm_leaf
routine will now also use it to remove the head of an extent in the
case that the hole covers a region of blocks at the beginning
of an extent.
- Added "end" param to ext4_ext_remove_space routine
This function has been modified to accept a stop parameter, which
is passed through to ext4_ext_rm_leaf.

jbd2_log_start_commit() returns 1 only when we really start a

commit is already running. Fix this problem by waiting for
transaction commit unconditionally (which is just a quick check if the
transaction is already committed).
Also we have to be more careful with sending of a barrier because when
transaction is being committed in parallel to ext4_sync_file()
running, we cannot be sure that the barrier the journalling code sends
happens after we wrote all the data for fsync (note that not every
data writeout needs to trigger metadata changes thus commit of some
metadata changes can be running while other data is still written
out). So use jbd2_will_send_data_barrier() helper to detect the common
cases when we can be sure barrier will be issued by the commit code
and issue the barrier ourselves in the remaining cases.

In commit c8d46e41 (ext4: Add flag to files with blocks intentionally
past EOF), if the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag is set, we call ext4_truncate()
before calling vmtruncate(). This caused any allocated but unwritten
blocks created by calling fallocate() with the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE
flag to be dropped. This was done to make to make sure that
EOFBLOCKS_FL would not be cleared while still leaving blocks past
i_size allocated. This was not necessary, since ext4_truncate()
guarantees that blocks past i_size will be dropped, even in the case
where truncate() has increased i_size before calling ext4_truncate().
So fix this by removing the EOFBLOCKS_FL special case treatment in
ext4_setattr(). In addition, use truncate_setsize() followed by a
call to ext4_truncate() instead of using vmtruncate(). This is more
efficient since it skips the call to inode_newsize_ok(), which has
been checked already by inode_change_ok(). This is also in a win in
the case where EOFBLOCKS_FL is set since it avoids calling
ext4_truncate() twice.
