Building the kernel with W=1 results in a number of kernel-doc warnings
like incorrect function names and parameter descriptions. Fix those,
mostly by adding missing parameter descriptions, removing left-over
descriptions, and demoting some less important kernel-doc comments into
regular comments.

Patch b2a846dbef ("gfs2: Ignore journal log writes for jdata holes")
tried (unsuccessfully) to fix a case in which writes were done to jdata
blocks, the blocks are sent to the ail list, then a punch_hole or truncate
operation caused the blocks to be freed. In other words, the ail items
are for jdata holes. Before b2a846dbef, the jdata hole caused function
gfs2_block_map to return -EIO, which was eventually interpreted as an
IO error to the journal, and then withdraw.
This patch changes function gfs2_get_block_noalloc, which is only used
for jdata writes, so it returns -ENODATA rather than -EIO, and when
-ENODATA is returned to gfs2_ail1_start_one, the error is ignored.
We can safely ignore it because gfs2_ail1_start_one is only called
when the jdata pages have already been written and truncated, so the
ail1 content no longer applies.

With jdata writes, we frequently got into situations where gfs2 deadlocked
because of this calling sequence:
gfs2_ail1_start
gfs2_ail1_flush - for every tr on the sd_ail1_list:
gfs2_ail1_start_one - for every bd on the tr's tr_ail1_list:
generic_writepages
write_cache_pages passing __writepage()
calls clear_page_dirty_for_io which calls set_page_dirty:
which calls jdata_set_page_dirty which sets PageChecked.
__writepage() calls
mapping->a_ops->writepage AKA gfs2_jdata_writepage
However, gfs2_jdata_writepage checks if PageChecked is set, and if so, it
ignores the write and redirties the page. The problem is that write_cache_pages
calls clear_page_dirty_for_io, which often calls set_page_dirty(). See comments
in page-writeback.c starting with "Yes, Virginia". If it's jdata,
set_page_dirty will call jdata_set_page_dirty which will set PageChecked.
That causes a conflict because it makes it look like the page has been
redirtied by another writer, in which case we need to skip writing it and
redirty the page. That ends up in a deadlock because it isn't a "real" writer
and nothing will ever clear PageChecked.
If we do have a real writer, it will have started a transaction. So this
patch checks if a transaction is in use, and if not, it skips setting
PageChecked. That way, the page will be dirtied, cleaned, and written
appropriately.

Patch 380f7c65a7 changed gfs2_releasepage
so that it held the sd_ail_lock spin_lock for most of its processing.
It did this for some mysterious undocumented bug somewhere in the
evict code path. But in the nine years since, evict has been reworked
and fixed many times, and so have the transactions and ail list.
I can't see a reason to hold the sd_ail_lock unless it's protecting
the actual ail lists hung off the transactions. Therefore, this patch
removes the locking to increase speed and efficiency, and to further help
us rework the log flush code to be more concurrent with transactions.

Before this patch, when blocks were freed, it called gfs2_meta_wipe to
take the metadata out of the pending journal blocks. It did this mostly
by calling another function called gfs2_remove_from_journal. This is
shortsighted because it does not do anything with jdata blocks which
may also be in the journal.
This patch expands the function so that it wipes out jdata blocks from
the journal as well, and it wipes it from the ail1 list if it hasn't
been written back yet. Since it now processes jdata blocks as well,
the function has been renamed from gfs2_meta_wipe to gfs2_journal_wipe.
New function gfs2_ail1_wipe wants a static view of the ail list, so it
locks the sd_ail_lock when removing items. To accomplish this, function
gfs2_remove_from_journal no longer locks the sd_ail_lock, and it's now
the caller's responsibility to do so.
I was going to make sd_ail_lock locking conditional, but the practice is
generally frowned upon. For details, see: https://lwn.net/Articles/109066/

Since the function is only used for writing jdata pages, this patch
simply renames function gfs2_write_full_page to a more appropriate
name: gfs2_write_jdata_page. This makes the code easier to understand.
The function was only called in one place, which passed in a pointer to
function gfs2_get_block_noalloc. The function doesn't need to be
passed in. Therefore, this also eliminates the unnecessary parameter
to increase efficiency.
I also took the liberty of cleaning up the function comments.

So far, gfs2 has taken the inode glocks inside the ->readpage and
->readahead address space operations. Since commit d4388340ae ("fs:
convert mpage_readpages to mpage_readahead"), gfs2_readahead is passed
the pages to read ahead locked. With that, the current holder of the
inode glock may be trying to lock one of those pages while
gfs2_readahead is trying to take the inode glock, resulting in a
deadlock.
Fix that by moving the lock taking to the higher-level ->read_iter file
and ->fault vm operations. This also gets rid of an ugly lock inversion
workaround in gfs2_readpage.
The cache consistency model of filesystems like gfs2 is such that if
data is found in the page cache, the data is up to date and can be used
without taking any filesystem locks. If a page is not cached,
filesystem locks must be taken before populating the page cache.
To avoid taking the inode glock when the data is already cached,
gfs2_file_read_iter first tries to read the data with the IOCB_NOIO flag
set. If that fails, the inode glock is taken and the operation is
retried with the IOCB_NOIO flag cleared.

Since commit 64bc06bb32 ("gfs2: iomap buffered write support"), gfs2 is doing
buffered writes by starting a transaction in iomap_begin, writing a range of
pages, and ending that transaction in iomap_end. This approach suffers from
two problems:
(1) Any allocations necessary for the write are done in iomap_begin, so when
the data aren't journaled, there is no need for keeping the transaction open
until iomap_end.
(2) Transactions keep the gfs2 log flush lock held. When
iomap_file_buffered_write calls balance_dirty_pages, this can end up calling
gfs2_write_inode, which will try to flush the log. This requires taking the
log flush lock which is already held, resulting in a deadlock.
Fix both of these issues by not keeping transactions open from iomap_begin to
iomap_end. Instead, start a small transaction in page_prepare and end it in
page_done when necessary.

With the traditional page-based writes, blocks are allocated separately
for each page written to. With iomap writes, we can allocate a lot more
blocks at once, with a fraction of the allocation overhead for each

On systems with low memory, it is possible for gfs2 to infinitely
loop in balance_dirty_pages() under heavy IO (creating sparse files).
balance_dirty_pages() attempts to write out the dirty pages via
gfs2_writepages() but none are found because these dirty pages are
being used by the journaling code in the ail. Normally, the journal
has an upper threshold which when hit triggers an automatic flush
of the ail. But this threshold can be higher than the number of
allowable dirty pages and result in the ail never being flushed.

Unlike what its documentation suggests, the releasepage address space
operation can currently be called on dirty pages via shrink_active_list.
This may eventually be changed when the remaining code relying on the
current behavior has been fixed, but until then, it makes no sense to
warn on dirty buffers in gfs2_releasepage.
