    NTFS: 2.0.15 - Fake inodes based attribute i/o via the pagecache, fixes, cleanups. · db05cffc
    Anton Altaparmakov authored
    - Fix silly bug in fs/ntfs/super.c::parse_options() which was causing
      remounts to fail when the partition had an entry in /etc/fstab and
      the entry specified the nls= option.
    - Apply same macro magic used in fs/ntfs/inode.h to fs/ntfs/volume.h to
      expand all the helper functions NVolFoo(), NVolSetFoo(), and
      NVolClearFoo().
    - Move copyright statement from driver initialisation message to
      module description (fs/super.c). This makes the initialisation
      message fit on one line and fits in better with rest of kernel.
    - Update fs/ntfs/attrib.c::map_run_list() to work on both real and
      attribute inodes, and both for files and directories.
    - Implement fake attribute inodes allowing all attribute i/o to go via
      the page cache and to use all the normal vfs/mm functionality:
      - Add ntfs_attr_iget() and its helper ntfs_read_locked_attr_inode()
        to fs/ntfs/inode.c.
      - Add needed cleanup code to ntfs_clear_big_inode().
    - Merge address space operations for files and directories (aops.c),
      now just have ntfs_aops:
      - Rename:
            end_buffer_read_attr_async() -> ntfs_end_buffer_read_async(),
            ntfs_attr_read_block()       -> ntfs_read_block(),
            ntfs_file_read_page()        -> ntfs_readpage().
      - Rewrite fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_readpage() to work on both real and
        attribute inodes, and both for files and directories.
      - Remove obsolete fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_mst_readpage().
