[PATCH v7 03/14] fs: provide accessors for ->i_state

[Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik@gmail.com>]

Open-coded accesses prevent asserting they are done correctly. One
obvious aspect is locking, but significantly more can checked. For
example it can be detected when the code is clearing flags which are
already missing, or is setting flags when it is illegal (e.g., I_FREEING
when ->i_count > 0).

In order to keep things manageable this patchset merely gets the thing
off the ground with only lockdep checks baked in.

Current consumers can be trivially converted.

Suppose flags I_A and I_B are to be handled.

If ->i_lock is held, then:

state = inode->i_state  	=> state = inode_state_read(inode)
inode->i_state |= (I_A | I_B) 	=> inode_state_set(inode, I_A | I_B)
inode->i_state &= ~(I_A | I_B) 	=> inode_state_clear(inode, I_A | I_B)
inode->i_state = I_A | I_B	=> inode_state_assign(inode, I_A | I_B)

If ->i_lock is not held or only held conditionally:

state = inode->i_state  	=> state = inode_state_read_once(inode)
inode->i_state |= (I_A | I_B) 	=> inode_state_set_raw(inode, I_A | I_B)
inode->i_state &= ~(I_A | I_B) 	=> inode_state_clear_raw(inode, I_A | I_B)
inode->i_state = I_A | I_B	=> inode_state_assign_raw(inode, I_A | I_B)

The "_once" vs "_raw" discrepancy stems from the read variant differing
by READ_ONCE as opposed to just lockdep checks.

Finally, if you want to atomically clear flags and set new ones, the
following:

state = inode->i_state;
state &= ~I_A;
state |= I_B;
inode->i_state = state;

turns into:

inode_state_replace(inode, I_A, I_B);
