- Add configuration option for developmental write support with an appropriately scary configuration help text. - Initial implementation of fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_writepage() and its helper fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_block(). This enables mmap(2) based overwriting of existing files on ntfs. Note: Resident files are only written into memory, and not written out to disk at present, so avoid writing to files smaller than about 1kiB. - Initial implementation of fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_prepare_write(), its helper fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_prepare_nonresident_write() and their counterparts, fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_commit_write(), and fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_commit_nonresident_write(), respectively. Also, add generic_file_write() to the ntfs file operations (fs/ntfs/file.c). This enables write(2) based overwriting of existing files on ntfs. Note: As with mmap(2) based overwriting, resident files are only written into memory, and not written out to disk at present, so avoid writing to files smaller than about 1kiB. - Implement ->truncate (fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_truncate()) and ->setattr() (fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_setattr()) inode operations for files with the purpose of intercepting and aborting all i_size changes which we do not support yet. ntfs_truncate() actually only emits a warning message but AFAICS our interception of i_size changes elsewhere means ntfs_truncate() never gets called for i_size changes. It is only called from generic_file_write() when we fail in ntfs_prepare_{,nonresident_}write() in order to discard any instantiated buffers beyond i_size. Thus i_size is not actually changed so our warning message is enough. Unfortunately it is not possible to easily determine if i_size is being changed or not hence we just emit an appropriately worded error message.
