This patch set takes some review comments and correct compatibility problems on ioctl of the nilfs2 filesystem. Due to improper design of the previous interface, it had arch dependent problems such as variable sized fields or alignment issue of structures. This resolves them and eliminates compat code. This will once break ioctl-API compatibility and require update of userland tools. However, I think it is better if I just straighten things out and release new nilfs-utils. The disk format has not changed by this. In addition to the related modifications, one or two changes that need revision of the ioctl API are included together to take this occasion. Summary of changes: * use fixed sized types and fix alignment issues for ioctl structures. * remove compat ioctl code. * use ->unlocked_ioctl instead of ->ioctl to avoid BKL. * remove TIMEDWAIT ioctl command which has been used to give a poll-like feature to userland cleaner program. * convert BUG_ON() and BUG() calls to proper error handlings or WARN_ON() calls; this will prevent ioctls from triggering the formers. * add an argument to nilfs_sustat ioctl structure to simplify management of state whether each segment (disk region) is reclaimable or not. The corresponding userland package (nilfs-utils) is available from git repos on the following site: http://www.nilfs.org/git/ Thanks to Pekka Enberg, Chris Mason and people giving us feedback.
