One line which should have been deleted in the last patch
was missed.

13538b8e46 [GFS2] Add list empty test to databuf_lo_add
Heinz had spotted that I'd forgotten to test in databuf_lo_add()
that the data buffer in question hadn't already been added to
the list. This was causing an infinite loop later on in the
"before commit" routine.

This means that GFS2 is now ready to be tested by everybody.

f55ab26a8f [GFS2] Use mutices rather than semaphores
As well as a number of minor bug fixes, this patch changes GFS
to use mutices rather than semaphores. This results in better
information in case there are any locking problems.

7359a19cc7 [GFS2] Fix for root inode ref count bug
Umount is now working correctly again. The bug was due to
not getting an extra ref count when mounting the fs. We
should have bumped it by two (once for the internal pointer
to the root inode from the super block and once for the
inode hanging off the dcache entry for root).

Also this patch tidys up the code dealing with looking up
and creating inodes. We now pass Linux inodes (with gfs2_inodes
attached) rather than the other way around and this reduces code
duplication in various places.

18ec7d5c3f [GFS2] Make journaled data files identical to normal files on disk
This is a very large patch, with a few still to be resolved issues
so you might want to check out the previous head of the tree since
this is known to be unstable. Fixes for the various bugs will be
forthcoming shortly.

This patch removes the special data format which has been used
up till now for journaled data files. Directories still retain the
old format so that they will remain on disk compatible with earlier
releases. As a result you can now do the following with journaled
data files:

 1) mmap them
 2) export them over NFS
 3) convert to/from normal files whenever you want to (the zero length
    restriction is gone)

In addition the level at which GFS' locking is done has changed for all
files (since they all now use the page cache) such that the locking is
done at the page cache level rather than the level of the fs operations.
This should mean that things like loopback mounts and other things which
touch the page cache directly should now work.

Current known issues:

 1. There is a lock mode inversion problem related to the resource
    group hold function which needs to be resolved.
 2. Any significant amount of I/O causes an oops with an offset of hex 320
    (NULL pointer dereference) which appears to be related to a journaled data
    buffer appearing on a list where it shouldn't be.
 3. Direct I/O writes are disabled for the time being (will reappear later)
 4. There is probably a deadlock between the page lock and GFS' locks under
    certain combinations of mmap and fs operation I/O.
 5. Issue relating to ref counting on internally used inodes causes a hang
    on umount (discovered before this patch, and not fixed by it)
 6. One part of the directory metadata is different from GFS1 and will need
    to be resolved before next release.

a98ab2204f [GFS2] Rename gfs2_meta_pin to gfs2_pin
Since we'll need to pin data if we are going to journal it, then
I'm renaming this function to make it less confusing. It might also
be worth moving it into lops.c since there are no users outside that
file.

64fb4eb7d4 [GFS2] Remove gfs2_databuf in favour of gfs2_bufdata structure
Removing the gfs2_databuf structure and using gfs2_bufdata instead
is a step towards allowing journaling of data without requiring the
metadata header on each journaled block. The idea is to merge the
code paths for ordered data with that of journaled data, with the
log operations in lops.c tacking account of the different types of
buffers as they are presented to it. Largely the code path for
metadata will be similar too, but obviously through a different set
of log operations.
