6dbd822487 [GFS2] Reduce inode size by moving i_alloc out of line
It is possible to reduce the size of GFS2 inodes by taking the i_alloc
structure out of the gfs2_inode. This patch allocates the i_alloc
structure whenever its needed, and frees it afterward. This decreases
the amount of low memory we use at the expense of requiring a memory
allocation for each page or partial page that we write. A quick test
with postmark shows that the overhead is not measurable and I also note
that OCFS2 use the same approach.

In the future I'd like to solve the problem by shrinking down the size
of the members of the i_alloc structure, but for now, this reduces the
immediate problem of using too much low-memory on x86 and doesn't add
too much overhead.

cd81a4bac6 [GFS2] Addendum patch 2 for gfs2_grow
This addendum patch 2 corrects three things:

1. It fixes a stupid mistake in the previous addendum that broke gfs2.
   Ref: https://www.redhat.com/archives/cluster-devel/2007-May/msg00162.html
2. It fixes a problem that Dave Teigland pointed out regarding the
   external declarations in ops_address.h being in the wrong place.
3. It recasts a couple more %llu printks to (unsigned long long)
   as requested by Steve Whitehouse.

I would have loved to put this all in one revised patch, but there was
a rush to get some patches for RHEL5.	Therefore, the previous patches
were applied to the git tree "as is" and therefore, I'm posting another
addendum.  Sorry.

f5c54804d9 [GFS2] Fix uninitialised variable
This fixes a bug where, in certain cases an uninitialised variable
could cause a dereference of a NULL pointer in gfs2_commit_write().
Also a typo in a comment is fixed at the same time.

f2f7ba5237 [GFS2] Make headers compile on their own
As per Jan Engelhardt's comments, this should make all the headers
compile on their own by including and/or declaring structures
early.

e9fc2aa091 [GFS2] Update copyright, tidy up incore.h
As per comments from Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> this
updates the copyright message to say "version" in full rather than
"v.2". Also incore.h has been updated to remove forward structure
declarations which are not required.

The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added
to it. Also quota.c has been updated so that we now store the
lvb data locally in endian independant format to avoid needing
a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess
conversions are done as required at various points and thus the
conversion routines in lvb.[ch] are no longer required. I've
moved the one remaining constant in lvb.h thats used into lm.h
and removed the unused lvb.[ch].

I have not changed the HIF_ constants. That is left to a later patch
which I hope will unify the gh_flags and gh_iflags fields of the
struct gfs2_holder.

4340fe6253 [GFS2] Add generation number
This adds a generation number for the eventual use of NFS to the
ondisk inode. Its backward compatible with the current code since
it doesn't really matter what the generation number is to start with,
and indeed since its set to zero, due to it being taken from padding
in both the inode and rgrp header, it should be fine.

The eventual plan is to use this rather than no_formal_ino in the
NFS filehandles. At that point no_formal_ino will be unused.

At the same time we also add a releasepages call back to the
"normal" address space for gfs2 inodes. Also I've removed a
one-linrer function thats not required any more.

feaa7bba02 [GFS2] Fix unlinked file handling
This patch fixes the way we have been dealing with unlinked,
but still open files. It removes all limits (other than memory
for inodes, as per every other filesystem) on numbers of these
which we can support on GFS2. It also means that (like other
fs) its the responsibility of the last process to close the file
to deallocate the storage, rather than the person who did the
unlinking. Note that with GFS2, those two events might take place
on different nodes.

Also there are a number of other changes:

 o We use the Linux inode subsystem as it was intended to be
used, wrt allocating GFS2 inodes
 o The Linux inode cache is now the point which we use for
local enforcement of only holding one copy of the inode in
core at once (previous to this we used the glock layer).
 o We no longer use the unlinked "special" file. We just ignore it
completely. This makes unlinking more efficient.
 o We now use the 4th block allocation state. The previously unused
state is used to track unlinked but still open inodes.
 o gfs2_inoded is no longer needed
 o Several fields are now no longer needed (and removed) from the in
core struct gfs2_inode
 o Several fields are no longer needed (and removed) from the in core
superblock

There are a number of future possible optimisations and clean ups
which have been made possible by this patch.
