2009-06-10nilfs2: add sync_page method to page caches of meta dataRyusuke Konishi
This applies block_sync_page() function to the sync_page method of page caches for meta data files, gc page caches, and btree node buffers. This is a companion patch of ("nilfs2: enable sync_page mothod") which applied the function for data pages. This allows lock_page() for those meta data to unplug pending bio requests.

2009-04-07nilfs2: support nanosecond timestampRyusuke Konishi
After a review of user's feedback for finding out other compatibility issues, I found nilfs improperly initializes timestamps in inode; CURRENT_TIME was used there instead of CURRENT_TIME_SEC even though nilfs didn't have nanosecond timestamps on disk. A few users gave us the report that the tar program sometimes failed to expand symbolic links on nilfs, and it turned out to be the cause. Instead of applying the above displacement, I've decided to support nanosecond timestamps on this occation. Fortunetaly, a needless 64-bit field was in the nilfs_inode struct, and I found it's available for this purpose without impact for the users. So, this will do the enhancement and resolve the tar problem.

2009-04-07nilfs2: insert explanations in gcinode fileRyusuke Konishi
The file gcinode.c gives buffer cache functions for on-disk blocks moved in garbage collection. Joern Engel has suggested inserting its explanations in the source file (Message-ID: <20080917144146.GD8750@logfs.org> and <20080917224953.GB14644@logfs.org>). This follows the comment.

2009-04-07nilfs2: block cache for garbage collectionRyusuke Konishi
This adds the cache of on-disk blocks to be moved in garbage collection. The disk blocks are held with dummy inodes (called gcinodes), and this file provides lookup function of the dummy inodes, and their buffer read function.
