Replace the BKL-based locking scheme used in the bfs driver by a private
filesystem-wide mutex.

This patch makes the following cleanups:
o removing an unused variable from bfs_fill_super();
o removing unneeded blank spaces from pointer
definitions.

Stop the BFS filesystem from using iget() and read_inode(). Replace
bfs_read_inode() with bfs_iget(), and call that instead of iget(). bfs_iget()
then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code instead of an
inode in the event of an error.
bfs_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.

I found a few bugs in the BFS driver. Detailed description of the bugs as
well as the steps to reproduce the errors are given in the kernel bugzilla.
Please follow these links for more information:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9363
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9364
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9365
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9366
This patch fixes the bugs described above. Besides, the patch introduces
coding style changes to make the BFS driver conform to the requirements
specified for Linux kernel code. Finally, I made a few cosmetic changes
such as removal of trivial debug output.
Also, the patch removes the fields `si_lf_ioff' and `si_lf_sblk' of the
in-core superblock structure. These fields are initialized but never
actually used.
If you are wondering why I need BFS, here is the answer: I am using this
driver in the context of Linux kernel classes I am teaching in the Moscow
State University and in the International Institute of Information
Technology in Pune, India.

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Same as with already do with the file operations: keep them in .rodata and
prevents people from doing runtime patching.

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups
The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)

* Makes BFS code endianness-clean.
* Fixes some signedness warnings.
* Fixes a problem in fs/bfs/inode.c:164 where inodes not synced to disk
don't get fully marked as clean. Here's how to reproduce it:
# mount -o loop -t bfs /bfs.img /mnt
# df -i /mnt
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/bfs.img 48 1 47 3% /mnt
# df -k /mnt
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/bfs.img 512 5 508 1% /mnt
# cp 60k-archive.zip /mnt/mt.zip
# df -k /mnt
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/bfs.img 512 65 447 13% /mnt
# df -i /mnt
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/bfs.img 48 2 46 5% /mnt
# rm /mnt/mt.zip
# echo $?
0
[If the unlink happens before the buffers flush, the following happens:]
# df -i /mnt
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/bfs.img 48 2 46 5% /mnt
# df -k /mnt

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
