      Nilfs in 2.6.39-rc1 hit the following oops:

This oops was brought in by the change "block: remove per-queue
plugging" (commit: 7eaceacc).  It initializes mapping->a_ops
with a NULL pointer for some pages in nilfs (e.g. btree node pages),
but mm code doesn't NULL pointer checks against mapping->a_ops. (the
check is done for each callback function)

This corrects the aops initialization and fixes the oops.

      nilfs2: fix data loss in mmap page write for hole blocks · 34094537
      Ryusuke Konishi authored 
      From the result of a function test of mmap, mmap write to shared pages
turned out to be broken for hole blocks.  It doesn't write out filled
blocks and the data will be lost after umount.  This is due to a bug
that the target file is not queued for log writer when filling hole
blocks.

Also, nilfs_page_mkwrite function exits normal code path even after
successfully filled hole blocks due to a change of block_page_mkwrite
function; just after nilfs was merged into the mainline,
block_page_mkwrite() started to return VM_FAULT_LOCKED instead of zero
by the patch "mm: close page_mkwrite races" (commit:
b827e496).  The current nilfs_page_mkwrite() is not handling
this value properly.

This corrects nilfs_page_mkwrite() and will resolve the data loss
problem in mmap write.

[This should be applied to every kernel since 2.6.30 but a fix is
 needed for 2.6.37 and prior kernels]
