Instead of using a list of buffers to write ahead of the journal
flush, this now uses a list of inodes and calls ->writepages
via filemap_fdatawrite() in order to achieve the same thing. For
most use cases this results in a shorter ordered write list,
as well as much larger i/os being issued.
The ordered write list is sorted by inode number before writing
in order to retain the disk block ordering between inodes as
per the previous code.
The previous ordered write code used to conflict in its assumptions
about how to write out the disk blocks with mpage_writepages()
so that with this updated version we can also use mpage_writepages()
for GFS2's ordered write, writepages implementation. So we will
also send larger i/os from writeback too.

There is little common content in gfs2_trans_add_bh() between the data
and meta classes by the time that the functions which it calls are
taken into account. The intent here is to split this into two
separate functions. Stage one is to introduce gfs2_trans_add_data()
and gfs2_trans_add_meta() and update the callers accordingly.
Later patches will then pull in the content of gfs2_trans_add_bh()
and its dependent functions in order to clean up the code in this
area.

Just like ext3, this works on the root directory and any directory
with the +T flag set. Also, just like ext3, any subdirectory created
in one of the just mentioned cases will be allocated to a random
resource group (GFS2 equivalent of a block group).
If you are creating a set of directories, each of which will contain a
job running on a different node, then by setting +T on the parent
directory before creating the subdirectories, each will land up in a
different resource group, and thus resource group contention between
nodes will be kept to a minimum.

The rs_requested field is left over from the original allocation
code, however this should have been a parameter passed to the
various functions from gfs2_inplace_reserve() and not a member of the
reservation structure as the value is not required after the
initial allocation.
This also helps simplify the code since we no longer need to set
the rs_requested to zero. Also the gfs2_inplace_release()
function can also be simplified since the reservation structure
will always be defined when it is called, and the only remaining
task is to unlock the rgrp if required. It can also now be
called unconditionally too, resulting in a further simplification.

This patch lengthens the lifespan of the reservations structure for
inodes. Before, they were allocated and deallocated for every write
operation. With this patch, they are allocated when the first write
occurs, and deallocated when the last process closes the file.
It's more efficient to do it this way because it saves GFS2 a lot of
unnecessary allocates and frees. It also gives us more flexibility
for the future: (1) we can now fold the qadata structure back into
the structure and save those alloc/frees, (2) we can use this for
multi-block reservations.

This is another clean up in the logging code. This per-transaction
list was largely unused. Its main function was to ensure that the
number of buffers in a transaction was correct, however that counter
was only used to check the number of buffers in the bd_list_tr, plus
an assert at the end of each transaction. With the assert now changed
to use the calculated buffer counts, we can remove both bd_list_tr and
its associated counter.

This patch allows caching of the rindex glock. We were previously
setting the GL_NOCACHE bit when the glock was released. That forced
the rindex inode to be invalidated, which caused us to re-read
rindex at the next access. However, it caused the glock to be
unnecessarily bounced around the cluster. This patch allows
the glock to remain cached, but it still causes the rindex to be
re-read once it has been written to by gfs2_grow.

This means that after the initial allocation for any inode, the
last used resource group is cached in the inode for future use.
This drastically reduces the number of lookups of resource
groups in the common case, and this the contention on that
data structure.
The allocation algorithm is the same as previously, except that we
always check to see if the goal block is within the cached rgrp
first before going to the rbtree to look one up.

The aim of this patch is to use the newly enhanced ->dirty_inode()
super block operation to deal with atime updates, rather than
piggy backing that code into ->write_inode() as is currently
done.
The net result is a simplification of the code in various places
and a reduction of the number of gfs2_dinode_out() calls since
this is now implied by ->dirty_inode().
Some of the mark_inode_dirty() calls have been moved under glocks
in order to take advantage of then being able to avoid locking in
->dirty_inode() when we already have suitable locks.
One consequence is that generic_write_end() now correctly deals
with file size updates, so that we do not need a separate check
for that afterwards. This also, indirectly, means that fdatasync
should work correctly on GFS2 - the current code always syncs the
metadata whether it needs to or not.
Has survived testing with postmark (with and without atime) and
also fsx.

This patch contains a few misc fixes which resolve a recently
reported issue. This patch has been a real team effort and has
received a lot of testing.
The first issue is that the ail lock needs to be held over a few
more operations. The lock thats added into gfs2_releasepage() may
possibly be a candidate for replacing with RCU at some future
point, but at this stage we've gone for the obvious fix.
The second issue is that gfs2_write_inode() can end up calling
a glock recursively when called from gfs2_evict_inode() via the
syncing code, so it needs a guard added.
The third issue is that we either need to not truncate the metadata
pages of inodes which have zero link count, but which we cannot
deallocate due to them still being in use by other nodes, or we need
to ensure that those pages have all made it through the journal and
ail lists first. This patch takes the former approach, but the
latter has also been tested and there is nothing to choose between
them performance-wise. So again, we could revise that decision
in the future.
Also, the inode eviction process is now better documented.

This patch adds support for fallocate to gfs2. Since the gfs2 does not support
uninitialized data blocks, it must write out zeros to all the blocks. However,
since it does not need to lock any pages to read from, gfs2 can write out the
zero blocks much more efficiently. On a moderately full filesystem, fallocate
works around 5 times faster on average. The fallocate call also allows gfs2 to
add blocks to the file without changing the filesize, which will make it
possible for gfs2 to preallocate space for the rindex file, so that gfs2 can
grow a completely full filesystem.

ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious.
Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an

Since the start of GFS2, an "extra" inode has been used to store
the metadata belonging to each inode. The only reason for using
this inode was to have an extra address space, the other fields
were unused. This means that the memory usage was rather inefficient.
The reason for keeping each inode's metadata in a separate address
space is that when glocks are requested on remote nodes, we need to
be able to efficiently locate the data and metadata which relating
to that glock (inode) in order to sync or sync and invalidate it
(depending on the remotely requested lock mode).
This patch adds a new type of glock, which has in addition to
its normal fields, has an address space. This applies to all
inode and rgrp glocks (but to no other glock types which remain
as before). As a result, we no longer need to have the second
inode.
This results in three major improvements:
1. A saving of approx 25% of memory used in caching inodes
2. A removal of the circular dependency between inodes and glocks
3. No confusion between "normal" and "metadata" inodes in super.c
Although the first of these is the more immediately apparent, the
second is just as important as it now enables a number of clean
ups at umount time. Those will be the subject of future patches.

When a gfs2 filesystem is grown, it needs to rebuild the rindex list to be able

setup, there is never any reason to drop the rindex glock, so gfs2 never
invalidates the the rindex. This patch makes gfs2 automatically drop the

GFS2 wasn't syncing its statfs info on grows. This causes a problem
when you grow the filesystem on multiple nodes. GFS2 would calculate
the new space based on the resource groups (which are always current),
and then assume that the filesystem had grown the from the existing
statfs size. If you grew the filesystem on two different nodes in a
short time, the second node wouldn't see the statfs size change from the
first node, and would assume that it was grown by a larger amount than
it was. When all these changes were synced out, the total fileystem
size would be incorrect (the first grow would be counted twice).
This patch syncs makes GFS2 read in the statfs changes from disk before
a grow, and write them out after the grow, while the master statfs inode
is locked.
