David Woodhouse 2ad8ee7135 [JFFS2] Fix potential memory leak of dead xattrs on unmount.
An xattr_datum which ends up orphaned should be freed by the GC 
thread. But if we umount before the GC thread is finished, or if we 
mount read-only and the GC thread never runs, they might never be 
freed. Clean them up during unmount, if there are any left.

David Woodhouse 8ae5d31263 [JFFS2] Fix BUG() caused by failing to discard xattrs on deleted files.
When we cannot mark nodes as obsolete, such as on NAND flash, we end up 
having to delete inodes with !nlink in jffs2_build_remove_unlinked_inode().
However, jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem() runs later than this, and will
attach an xref to the dead inode. Then later when the last nodes of that
dead inode are erased we hit a BUG() in jffs2_del_ino_cache() 
because we're not supposed to get there with an xattr still attached to 
the inode which is being killed.

The simple fix is to refrain from attaching xattrs to inodes with zero 
nlink, in jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem(). It's it's OK to trust nlink 
here because the file system isn't actually mounted yet, so there's no 
chance that a zero-nlink file could actually be alive still because 
it's open.

David Woodhouse c00c310eac [JFFS2] Tidy up licensing/copyright boilerplate.
In particular, remove the bit in the LICENCE file about contacting
Red Hat for alternative arrangements. Their errant IS department broke
that arrangement a long time ago -- the policy of collecting copyright
assignments from contributors came to an end when the plug was pulled on
the servers hosting the project, without notice or reason.

We do still dual-license it for use with eCos, with the GPL+exception
licence approved by the FSF as being GPL-compatible. It's just that nobody
has the right to license it differently.

Jeff Garzik a6b1d82d07 [JFFS2] kill warning RE debug-only variables
gcc emits the following warning on a 'allmodconfig' build:

fs/jffs2/xattr.c: In function ‘unrefer_xattr_datum’:
fs/jffs2/xattr.c:402: warning: unused variable ‘version’
fs/jffs2/xattr.c:402: warning: unused variable ‘xid’

Given that these variables are only used in the debug printk, and they
merely remove a deref, we can easily kill the warning by adding the
derefs to the debug printk.

KaiGai Kohei c6e8c6ccf9 [JFFS2][XATTR] Fix xd->refcnt race condition
When xd->refcnt is checked whether this xdatum should be released
or not, atomic_dec_and_lock() is used to ensure holding the
c->erase_completion_lock.

This fix change a specification of delete_xattr_datum().
Previously, it's only called when xd->refcnt equals zero.
(calling it with positive xd->refcnt cause a BUG())
If you applied this patch, the function checks whether
xd->refcnt is zero or not under the spinlock if necessary.
Then, it marks xd DEAD flahs and links with xattr_dead_list
or releases it immediately when xd->refcnt become zero.

KaiGai Kohei 2c887e2359 [JFFS2][XATTR] Re-define xd->refcnt as atomic_t
In jffs2_release_xattr_datum(), it refers xd->refcnt to ensure
whether releasing xd is allowed or not.
But we can't hold xattr_sem since this function is called under
spin_lock(&c->erase_completion_lock). Thus we have to refer it
without any locking.

This patch redefine xd->refcnt as atomic_t. It enables to refer
xd->refcnt without any locking.

KaiGai Kohei 8a13695cbe [JFFS2][XATTR] rid unnecessary writing of delete marker.
In the followinf situation, an explicit delete marker is not
necessary, because we can certainlly detect those obsolete
xattr_datum or xattr_ref on next mounting.

- When to delete xattr_datum node.
- When to delete xattr_ref node on removing inode.
- When to delete xattr_ref node on updating xattr.

This patch rids writing delete marker in those situations.

KaiGai Kohei c9f700f840 [JFFS2][XATTR] using 'delete marker' for xdatum/xref deletion
- When xdatum is removed, a new xdatum with 'delete marker' is
  written. (version==0xffffffff means 'delete marker')
- When xref is removed, a new xref with 'delete marker' is written.
  (odd-numbered xseqno means 'delete marker')

- delete_xattr_(datum/xref)_delay() are new deletion functions
  are added. We can only use them if we can detect the target
  obsolete xdatum/xref as a orphan or errir one.
  (e.g when inode deletion, or detecting crc error)

David Woodhouse 2f785402f3 [JFFS2] Reduce visibility of raw_node_ref to upper layers of JFFS2 code.
As the first step towards eliminating the ref->next_phys member and saving
memory by using an _array_ of struct jffs2_raw_node_ref per eraseblock,
stop the write functions from allocating their own refs; have them just
_reserve_ the appropriate number instead. Then jffs2_link_node_ref() can
just fill them in.

Use a linked list of pre-allocated refs in the superblock, for now. Once
we switch to an array, it'll just be a case of extending that array.

David Woodhouse 9fe4854cd1 [JFFS2] Remove flash offset argument from various functions.
We don't need the upper layers to deal with the physical offset. It's
_always_ c->nextblock->offset + c->sector_size - c->nextblock->free_size
so we might as well just let the actual write functions deal with that.

David Woodhouse fcb7578719 [JFFS2] Extend jffs2_link_node_ref() to link into per-inode list too.
Let's avoid the potential for forgetting to set ref->next_in_ino, by doing
it within jffs2_link_node_ref() instead.

This highlights the ugliness of what we're currently doing with
xattr_datum and xattr_ref structures -- we should find a nicer way of
dealing with that.

Remove jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr(c, ic).
jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr_datum/ref() are called from gc.c directly.

In original implementation, jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr(c, ic) returns
with holding a spinlock if 'ic' is inode_cache. But it returns after
releasing a spinlock if 'ic' is xattr_datum/ref.
It looks so confusable behavior. Thus, this patch makes caller manage
locking/unlocking.

KaiGai Kohei aa98d7cf59 [JFFS2][XATTR] XATTR support on JFFS2 (version. 5)
This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and
SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5).

There are some significant differences from previous version posted
at last December.
The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support.
Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize
xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype.

In addition, some bugs are fixed.
- A potential race condition was fixed.
- Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed.
- A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed.

The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion
mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed
and updated if necessary.
Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to
load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.
