Steven Whitehouse c9f6a6bbc2 [GFS2] Remove support for unused and pointless flag
The ability to mark files for direct i/o access when opened
normally is both unused and pointless, so this patch removes
support for that feature.

Steven Whitehouse 1bdad60633 [GFS2] Remove remote lock dropping code
There are several reasons why this is undesirable:

 1. It never happens during normal operation anyway
 2. If it does happen it causes performance to be very, very poor
 3. It isn't likely to solve the original problem (memory shortage
    on remote DLM node) it was supposed to solve
 4. It uses a bunch of arbitrary constants which are unlikely to be
    correct for any particular situation and for which the tuning seems
    to be a black art.
 5. In an N node cluster, only 1/N of the dropped locked will actually
    contribute to solving the problem on average.

So all in all we are better off without it. This also makes merging
the lock_dlm module into GFS2 a bit easier.

Steven Whitehouse da755fdb41 [GFS2] Remove lm.[ch] and distribute content
The functions in lm.c were just wrappers which were mostly
only used in one other file. By moving the functions to
the files where they are being used, they can be marked
static and also this will usually result in them being inlined
since they are often only used from one point in the code.

A couple of really trivial functions have been inlined by hand
into the function which called them as it makes the code clearer
to do that.

We also gain from one fewer function call in the glock lock and
unlock paths.

Steven Whitehouse e35b921185 [GFS2] Don't periodically update the jindex
We only care about the content of the jindex in two cases,
one is when we mount the fs and the other is when we need
to recover another journal. In both cases we have to update
the jindex anyway, so there is no point in updating it
periodically between times, so this removes it to simplify
gfs2_logd.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 3514faca19 kobject: remove struct kobj_type from struct kset
We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset.  We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset.  This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.

This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

Steven Whitehouse e5dab552c8 [GFS2] Remove the "greedy" function from glock.[ch]
The "greedy" code was an attempt to retain glocks for a minimum length
of time when they relate to mmap()ed files. The current implementation
of this feature is not, however, ideal in that it required allocating
memory in order to do this and its overly complicated.

It also misses the mark by ignoring the other I/O operations which are
just as likely to suffer from the same problem. So the plan is to remove
this now and then add the functionality back as part of the glock state
machine at a later date (and thus take into account all the possible
users of this feature)

Steven Whitehouse 3699e3a44b [GFS2] Clean up/speed up readdir
This removes the extra filldir callback which gfs2 was using to
enclose an attempt at readahead for inodes during readdir. The
code was too complicated and also hurts performance badly in the
case that the getdents64/readdir call isn't being followed by
stat() and it wasn't even getting it right all the time when it
was.

As a result, on my test box an "ls" of a directory containing 250000
files fell from about 7mins (freshly mounted, so nothing cached) to
between about 15 to 25 seconds. When the directory content was cached,
the time taken fell from about 3mins to about 4 or 5 seconds.

Interestingly in the cached case, running "ls -l" once reduced the time
taken for subsequent runs of "ls" to about 6 secs even without this
patch. Now it turns out that there was a special case of glocks being
used for prefetching the metadata, but because of the timeouts for these
locks (set to 10 secs) the metadata was being timed out before it was
being used and this the prefetch code was constantly trying to prefetch
the same data over and over.

Calling "ls -l" meant that the inodes were brought into memory and once
the inodes are cached, the glocks are not disposed of until the inodes
are pushed out of the cache, thus extending the lifetime of the glocks,
and thus bringing down the time for subsequent runs of "ls"
considerably.

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 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.
