I noticed the gfs2_scand seemed to be taking a lot of CPU,
so in order to cut that down a bit, here is a patch. Firstly
the type of a glock is a constant during its lifetime, so that
its possible to check this without needing locking. I've moved
the (common) case of testing for an inode glock outside of
the glmutex lock.
Also there was a mutex left over from when the glock cache was
master of the inode cache. That isn't required any more so I've
removed that too.
There is probably scope for further speed ups in the future
in this area.

recovery.c add a brelse to deal with gfs2_replay_read_block being called
twice on the same block.
add a dput to drop the ref count on the root inode.
This was causing lingering glocks and thus causing
a mount failure to hang.
Fix a endian conversion macro that was was swizzling
16bits when it should have been swizzling 32.

This means that we don't need to create a special inode just to contain
a struct address_space in order to read a single disk block. Instead
we read the disk block directly. Its slightly faster, and uses slightly
less memory, but the real reason for doing this is that it removes a
special case from the glock code.

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.

These were left over from when recursive locking was allowed. It

Well, I managed to track down the bug in gfs2 that was causing
my grief. Below is a patch for the problem. Please incorporate
as you see fit. Or should I say: as you see git.
The problem was basically that you never set d_ops for the root
inode, so the wrong hash algorithm was being used. But only for
the root directory. Turns out that if I used subdirectories, it
used the proper hash and my files were found just fine.

This is one of the changes related to journal recovery I mentioned a
couple weeks ago. We can get into a situation where there are only
readonly nodes currently mounting the fs, but there are journals that need
to be recovered. Since the readonly nodes can't recover journals, the
next rw mounter needs to go through and check all journals and recover any
that are dirty (i.e. what the first node to mount the fs does). This rw
mounter needs to skip the journals held by the existing readonly nodes.
Skipping those journals amounts to using the TRY flag on the journal locks
so acquiring the lock of a journal held by a readonly node will fail
instead of blocking indefinately.

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.

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.

Due to a typo, the dir leaf split operation was (for the first
split in a directory) writing the new hash vaules at the
wrong offset. This is now fixed.
Also some other tidy ups are included:
- We use GFS2's hash function for dentries (see ops_dentry.c) so that
we don't have to keep recalculating the hash values.
- A lot of common code is eliminated between the various directory
lookup routines.
- Better error checking on directory lookup (previously different
routines checked for different errors)
- The leaf split operation has a couple of redundant operations
removed from it, so it should be faster.
There is still further scope for further clean ups in the directory
code, and readdir in particular could do with slimming down a bit.

In order to separate out the filesystem's metadata from "normal"
files and directories, a new filesystem type has been created.
It is called gfs2meta and mounting it gives access to the files
that were previously under .gfs2_admin (well still are until mkfs
is altered, which is next on the adgenda).
Its not currently possible to mount both gfs2 and gfs2meta on the
same block device at the same time. A future patch will allow that
to happen.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
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.

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.

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).
