Hi,

This set of patches are aimed to allow truncate_inode_pages_range() handle
ranges which are not aligned at the end of the page. Currently it will
hit BUG_ON() when the end of the range is not aligned. Punch hole feature
however can benefit from this ability saving file systems some work not
forcing them to implement their own invalidate code to handle unaligned
ranges.

In order for this to woke we need change ->invalidatepage() address space
operation to to accept range to invalidate by adding 'length' argument in
addition to 'offset'. This is different from my previous attempt to create
new aop ->invalidatepage_range (http://lwn.net/Articles/514828/) which I
reconsidered to ne unnecessary.

For description purposes this patch set can be divided into following
groups:


patch 0001:	Change ->invalidatepage() prototype adding 'length' argument
		and changing all the instances. In very simple cases file
		system methods are completely adapted, otherwise only
		prototype is changed and the rest will follow. This patch
		also implement the 'range' invalidation in
		block_invalidatepage().

patch 0002 - 0009:
		Make the use of new 'length' argument in the file system
		itself. Some file systems can take advantage of it trying
		to invalidate only portion of the page if possible, some
		can't, however none of the file systems currently attempt
		to truncate non page aligned ranges.


patch 0010:	Teach truncate_inode_pages_range() to handle non page aligned
		ranges.

patch 0012 - 0018:
		Ext4 changes build on top of previous changes, simplifying
		punch hole code. Not all changes are realated specifically
		to invalidatepage() change, but all are related to the punch
		hole feature.

Even though this patch set would mainly affect functionality of the file
file systems implementing punch hole I've tested all the following file
system using xfstests without noticing any bugs related to this change.

ext3, ext4, xfs, btrfs, gfs2 and reiserfs

the much smaller changes in other file systems has not been directly tested,
so please review.

Thanks!
-Lukas
