[PATCH v2 0/41] fs: Move metadata bh tracking from address_space

[Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>]

Hello,

here is a next revision of the patchset cleaning up buffer head metadata
tracking and use of address_space's private_list and private_lock.  The patches
have survived some testing with fstests and ltp however I didn't test AFFS and
KVM guest_memfd changes so a help with testing those would be very welcome.
Thanks.

Changes since v1:
* Fixed hugetlbfs handling of root directory
* Reworked mapping_metadata_bhs handling functions to get the tracking
  structure as an argument so we now don't need iops method to fetch the struct
  from the inode
* Reordered patches into more sensible order
* Added patch to merge two mostly duplicate generic fsync implementations
* Added Reviewed-by tags
* Couple more minor changes that were requested during review

Original cover letter:

this patch series cleans up the mess that has accumulated over the years in
metadata buffer_head tracking for inodes, moves the tracking into dedicated
structure in filesystem-private part of the inode (so that we don't use
private_list, private_data, and private_lock in struct address_space), and also
moves couple other users of private_data and private_list so these are removed
from struct address_space saving 3 longs in struct inode for 99% of inodes.  I
would like to get rid of private_lock in struct address_space as well however
the locking changes for buffer_heads are non-trivial there and the patch series
is long enough as is. So let's leave that for another time.
