Add proper error handling for when an async create fails. The inode
never existed, so any dirty caps or data are now toast. We already
d_drop the dentry in that case, but the now-stale inode may still be
around. We want to shut down access to these inodes, and ensure that
they can't harbor any more dirty data, which can cause problems at
umount time.
When this occurs, flag such inodes as being SHUTDOWN, and trash any caps
and cap flushes that may be in flight for them, and invalidate the
pagecache for the inode. Add a new helper that can check whether an
inode or an entire mount is now shut down, and call it instead of
accessing the mount_state directly in places where we test that now.

Currently it calls pagevec_lookup_range_nr_tag(), but that may be
inefficient, as we might end up having to search several times as we get
down to looking for fewer pages to fill the array.
Thus spake Willy:
"I think ceph is misusing pagevec_lookup_range_nr_tag(). Let's suppose
you get a range which is AAAAbbbbAAAAbbbbAAAAbbbbbbbb(...)bbbbAAAA and
you try to fetch max_pages=13. First loop will get AAAAbbbbAAAAb and
have 8 locked_pages. The next call will get bbbAA and now
locked_pages=10. Next call gets AAb ... and now you're iterating your
way through all the 'b' one page at a time until you find that first A."
'A' here refers to pages that are eligible for writeback and 'b'
represents ones that aren't (for whatever reason).
Not capping the number of return pages may mean that we sometimes find
more pages than are needed, but the extra references will just get put
at the end.
Ceph is also the only caller of pagevec_lookup_range_nr_tag(), so this
change should allow us to eliminate that call as well. That will be done
in a follow-on patch.

This is a late set of changes from Deepa Dinamani doing an automated
treewide conversion of the inode and iattr structures from 'timespec'
to 'timespec64', to push the conversion from the VFS layer into the
individual file systems.
There were no conflicts between this and the contents of linux-next
until just before the merge window, when we saw multiple problems:
- A minor conflict with my own y2038 fixes, which I could address
by adding another patch on top here.
- One semantic conflict with late changes to the NFS tree. I addressed
this by merging Deepa's original branch on top of the changes that
now got merged into mainline and making sure the merge commit includes
the necessary changes as produced by coccinelle.
- A trivial conflict against the removal of staging/lustre.
- Multiple conflicts against the VFS changes in the overlayfs tree.
These are still part of linux-next, but apparently this is no longer
intended for 4.18 [1], so I am ignoring that part.
As Deepa writes:
The series aims to switch vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64.
Currently vfs uses struct timespec, which is not y2038 safe.
The series involves the following:
1. Add vfs helper functions for supporting struct timepec64 timestamps.
2. Cast prints of vfs timestamps to avoid warnings after the switch.
3. Simplify code using vfs timestamps so that the actual
replacement becomes easy.
4. Convert vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64 using a script.
This is a flag day patch.
Next steps:
1. Convert APIs that can handle timespec64, instead of converting
timestamps at the boundaries.
2. Update internal data structures to avoid timestamp conversions.
Thomas Gleixner adds:
I think there is no point to drag that out for the next merge window.
The whole thing needs to be done in one go for the core changes which
means that you're going to play that catchup game forever. Let's get
over with it towards the end of the merge window.

Merge tag 'vfs-timespec64' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/playground
Pull inode timestamps conversion to timespec64 from Arnd Bergmann:
"This is a late set of changes from Deepa Dinamani doing an automated
treewide conversion of the inode and iattr structures from 'timespec'
to 'timespec64', to push the conversion from the VFS layer into the
individual file systems.
As Deepa writes:
'The series aims to switch vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64.
Currently vfs uses struct timespec, which is not y2038 safe.
The series involves the following:
1. Add vfs helper functions for supporting struct timepec64
timestamps.
2. Cast prints of vfs timestamps to avoid warnings after the switch.
3. Simplify code using vfs timestamps so that the actual replacement
becomes easy.
4. Convert vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64 using a script.
This is a flag day patch.
Next steps:
1. Convert APIs that can handle timespec64, instead of converting
timestamps at the boundaries.
2. Update internal data structures to avoid timestamp conversions'
Thomas Gleixner adds:
'I think there is no point to drag that out for the next merge
window. The whole thing needs to be done in one go for the core
changes which means that you're going to play that catchup game
forever. Let's get over with it towards the end of the merge window'"
