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.

We no longer use semaphores, everything has been converted to
mutex or rwsem, so we don't need to include this header any more.

This fixes a ref count bug that sometimes showed up a umount time
(causing it to hang) but it otherwise mostly harmless. At the same
time there are some clean ups including making the log operations
structures const, moving a memory allocation so that its not done
in the fast path of checking to see if there is an outstanding
transaction related to a particular glock.
Removes the sd_log_wrap varaible which was updated, but never actually
used anywhere. Updates the gfs2 ioctl() to run without the kernel lock
(which it never needed anyway). Removes the "invalidate inodes" loop
from GFS2's put_super routine. This is done in kill super anyway so
we don't need to do it here. The loop was also bogus in that if there
are any inodes "stuck" at this point its a bug and we need to know
about it rather than hide it by hanging forever.

Fix a bug I introduced earlier with a kfree() and usage of
a structure in the wrong order. Also try and get the counts
of the journaled data buffers "more correct". Still some work
to do in this area though.

As suggested by Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>.
The DIV_RU macro is renamed DIV_ROUND_UP and and moved to kernel.h
The other macros are gone from gfs2.h as (although not requested
by Pekka Enberg) are a number of included header file which are now
included individually. The inode number comparison function is
now an inline function.
The DT2IF and IF2DT may be addressed in a future patch.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
