Andrew Morton f79e2abb9b [PATCH] sys_sync_file_range()
Remove the recently-added LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE and LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT
fadvise() additions, do it in a new sys_sync_file_range() syscall instead.
Reasons:

- It's more flexible.  Things which would require two or three syscalls with
  fadvise() can be done in a single syscall.

- Using fadvise() in this manner is something not covered by POSIX.

The patch wires up the syscall for x86.

The sycall is implemented in the new fs/sync.c.  The intention is that we can
move sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and perhaps sys_sync() into there later.

Documentation for the syscall is in fs/sync.c.

A test app (sync_file_range.c) is in
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz.

The available-to-GPL-modules do_sync_file_range() is for knfsd: "A COMMIT can
say NFS_DATA_SYNC or NFS_FILE_SYNC.  I can skip the ->fsync call for
NFS_DATA_SYNC which is hopefully the more common."

Note: the `async' writeout mode SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE will turn synchronous if
the queue is congested.  This is trivial to fix: add a new flag bit, set
wbc->nonblocking.  But I'm not sure that we want to expose implementation
details down to that level.

Note: it's notable that we can sync an fd which wasn't opened for writing.
Same with fsync() and fdatasync()).

Note: the code takes some care to handle attempts to sync file contents
outside the 16TB offset on 32-bit machines.  It makes such attempts appear to
succeed, for best 32-bit/64-bit compatibility.  Perhaps it should make such
requests fail...

* sys_sync_file_range() permits finely controlled syncing over a segment of
* a file in the range offset .. (offset+nbytes-1) inclusive. If nbytes is
* zero then sys_sync_file_range() will operate from offset out to EOF.
*
* The flag bits are:
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE: wait upon writeout of all pages in the range
* before performing the write.
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: initiate writeout of all those dirty pages in the
* range which are not presently under writeback.
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER: wait upon writeout of all pages in the range
* after performing the write.
*
* Useful combinations of the flag bits are:
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: ensures that all pages
* in the range which were dirty on entry to sys_sync_file_range() are placed
* under writeout. This is a start-write-for-data-integrity operation.
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: start writeout of all dirty pages in the range which
* are not presently under writeout. This is an asynchronous flush-to-disk
* operation. Not suitable for data integrity operations.
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE (or SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER): wait for
* completion of writeout of all pages in the range. This will be used after an
* earlier SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE operation to wait
* for that operation to complete and to return the result.
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER:
* a traditional sync() operation. This is a write-for-data-integrity operation
* which will ensure that all pages in the range which were dirty on entry to
* sys_sync_file_range() are committed to disk.
*
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE and SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER will detect any
* I/O errors or ENOSPC conditions and will return those to the caller, after
* clearing the EIO and ENOSPC flags in the address_space.
*
* It should be noted that none of these operations write out the file's
* metadata. So unless the application is strictly performing overwrites of
* already-instantiated disk blocks, there are no guarantees here that the data
* will be available after a crash.
