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 can reclaim some space by moving fields in some structures
in order to allow them to pack better on 64 bit architectures.

This adds some extra debugging to glock.c and changes
inode.c's deallocation code to call the debugging code
at a suitable moment. I'm chasing down a particular bug
to do with deallocation at the moment and the code can
go again once the bug is fixed.
Also this includes the first part of some changes to unify
the Linux struct inode and GFS2's struct gfs2_inode. This
transformation will happen in small parts over the next short
period.

This patch changes the last user of recursive locking so that
it no longer needs this feature and removes it from the glock
layer. This makes the glock code a lot simpler and easier to
understand. Its also a prerequsite to adding support for the
AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE return code (or at least it is if you don't
want your brain to melt in the process)
I've left in a couple of checks just in case there is some place
else in the code which is still using this feature that I didn't
spot yet, but they can probably be removed long term.

When allocating memory to sort directory entries, use vmalloc()
rather than kmalloc() since for larger directories, the required
size can easily be graeter than the 128k maximum of kmalloc().
Also adding the first steps towards getting the AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE
return code get in the glock code by flagging all places where we
request a glock and we are holding a page lock.

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.

This puts the finishing touches to the ioctl support and also
removes a couple of unused fields from GFS2's private per file
structure.

Update the debugging code in trans.c and at the same time improve
the debugging code for gfs2_holders. The new code should be pretty
fast during the normal case and provide just as much information
in case of errors (or more).
One small function from glock.c has moved to glock.h as a static inline so
that its return address won't get in the way of the debugging.

Replace the lock_for_trans()/lock_for_flush() functions with an rwsem.
In fact the sd_log_flush_lock becomes an rwsem (the write part of it)
and is extended slightly to cover everything that the lock_for_flush()
used to cover. The read part of the lock is instead of lock_for_trans().
This corrects the races in the original code and reduces the code size.

This reduces the size of the directory code by about 3k and gets
readdir() to use the functions which were introduced in the previous
directory code update.
Two memory allocations are merged into one. Eliminates zeroing of some
buffers which were never used before they were initialised by
other data.
There is still scope for further improvement in the directory code.
On the logging side, a hand created mutex has been replaced by a
standard Linux mutex in the log allocation code.

We no longer lookup ".gfs2_admin" in the root directory in order to
find it, but instead use the inode number given in the superblock.
Both the root directory and the admin directory are now looked up using
the same routine, so the redundant code is removed.
Also, there is no longer a reference to the root inode in the
GFS2 super block. When required this can be retreived via
sb->s_root->d_inode instead.
Assuming that we introduce a metadata filesystem type for GFS, then
this is a first step towards that goal.

For every filesystem operation where we need a transaction, we

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.

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.

Add the new external read function. Its temporarily in jdata.c
even though the protoype is in ops_file.h - this will change
shortly. The current implementation will change to a page cache
one when that happens.
In order to effect the above changes, the various internal inodes
now have Linux inodes attached to them. We keep the references to
the Linux inodes, rather than the gfs2_inodes in the super block.
In order to get everything to work correctly I've had to reorder
the init sequence on mount (which I should probably have done
earlier when .gfs2_admin was made visible).

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.
