Steven Whitehouse b50f227bdd GFS2: Clean up journal extent mapping
This patch fixes a long standing issue in mapping the journal
extents. Most journals will consist of only a single extent,
and although the cache took account of that by merging extents,
it did not actually map large extents, but instead was doing a
block by block mapping. Since the journal was only being mapped
on mount, this was not normally noticeable.

With the updated code, it is now possible to use the same extent
mapping system during journal recovery (which will be added in a
later patch). This will allow checking of the integrity of the
journal before any reply of the journal content is attempted. For
this reason the code is moving to bmap.c, since it will be used
more widely in due course.

An exercise left for the reader is to compare the new function
gfs2_map_journal_extents() with gfs2_write_alloc_required()

Additionally, should there be a failure, the error reporting is
also updated to show more detail about what went wrong.

Steven Whitehouse ff8f33c8b3 GFS2: New truncate sequence
This updates GFS2's truncate code to use the new truncate
sequence correctly. This is a stepping stone to being
able to remove ip->i_disksize in favour of using i_size
everywhere now that the two sizes are always identical.

Bob Peterson 461cb419f0 GFS2: Simplify gfs2_write_alloc_required
Function gfs2_write_alloc_required always returned zero as its
return code.  Therefore, it doesn't need to return a return code
at all.  Given that, we can use the return value to return whether
or not the dinode needs block allocations rather than passing
that value in, which in turn simplifies a bunch of error checking.

Steven Whitehouse 7ed122e42c GFS2: Streamline alloc calculations for writes
This patch removes some unused code, and make the calculation
of the number of blocks required conditional in order to reduce
the number of times this (potentially expensive) calculation
is done.

Bob Peterson e9e1ef2b6e [GFS2] Remove function gfs2_get_block
This patch is just a cleanup.  Function gfs2_get_block() just calls
function gfs2_block_map reversing the last two parameters.  By
reversing the parameters, gfs2_block_map() may be called directly
and function gfs2_get_block may be eliminated altogether.
Since this function is done for every block operation,
this streamlines the code and makes it a little bit more efficient.

Steven Whitehouse 23591256d6 [GFS2] Fix bmap to map extents properly
This fix means that bmap will map extents of the length requested
by the VFS rather than guessing at it, or just mapping one block
at a time. The other callers of gfs2_block_map are audited to ensure
they send the correct max extent lengths (i.e. set bh->b_size correctly).

Steven Whitehouse 7a6bbacbb8 [GFS2] Map multiple blocks at once where possible
This is a tidy up of the GFS2 bmap code. The main change is that the
bh is passed to gfs2_block_map allowing the flags to be set directly
rather than having to repeat that code several times in ops_address.c.

At the same time, the extent mapping code from gfs2_extent_map has
been moved into gfs2_block_map. This allows all calls to gfs2_block_map
to map extents in the case that no allocation is taking place. As a
result reads and non-allocating writes should be faster. A quick test
with postmark appears to support this.

There is a limit on the number of blocks mapped in a single bmap
call in that it will only ever map blocks which are pointed to
from a single pointer block. So in other words, it will never try
to do additional i/o in order to satisfy read-ahead. The maximum
number of blocks is thus somewhat less than 512 (the GFS2 4k block
size minus the header divided by sizeof(u64)). I've further limited
the mapping of "normal" blocks to 32 blocks (to avoid extra work)
since readpages() will currently read a maximum of 32 blocks ahead (128k).

Some further work will probably be needed to set a suitable value
for DIO as well, but for now thats left at the maximum 512 (see
ops_address.c:gfs2_get_block_direct).

There is probably a lot more that can be done to improve bmap for GFS2,
but this is a good first step.

Steven Whitehouse 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.

Steven Whitehouse f25ef0c1b4 [GFS2] Tidy gfs2_unstuffer_page
Tidy up gfs2_unstuffer_page by:

 a) Moving it into bmap.c
 b) Making it static
 c) Calling it directly from gfs2_unstuff_dinode
 d) Updating all callers of gfs2_unstuff_dinode due to one less
    required argument.

It doesn't change the behaviour at all.

Steven Whitehouse fd88de569b [GFS2] Readpages support
This adds readpages support (and also corrects a small bug in
the readpage error path at the same time). Hopefully this will
improve performance by allowing GFS to submit larger lumps of
I/O at a time.

In order to simplify the setting of BH_Boundary, it currently gets
set when we hit the end of a indirect pointer block. There is
always a boundary at this point with the current allocation code.
It doesn't get all the boundaries right though, so there is still
room for improvement in this.

See comments in fs/gfs2/ops_address.c for further information about
readpages with GFS2.
