Steven Whitehouse f057f6cdf6 GFS2: Merge lock_dlm module into GFS2
This is the big patch that I've been working on for some time
now. There are many reasons for wanting to make this change
such as:
 o Reducing overhead by eliminating duplicated fields between structures
 o Simplifcation of the code (reduces the code size by a fair bit)
 o The locking interface is now the DLM interface itself as proposed
   some time ago.
 o Fewer lookups of glocks when processing replies from the DLM
 o Fewer memory allocations/deallocations for each glock
 o Scope to do further optimisations in the future (but this patch is
   more than big enough for now!)

Please note that (a) this patch relates to the lock_dlm module and
not the DLM itself, that is still a separate module; and (b) that
we retain the ability to build GFS2 as a standalone single node
filesystem with out requiring the DLM.

This patch needs a lot of testing, hence my keeping it I restarted
my -git tree after the last merge window. That way, this has the maximum
exposure before its merged. This is (modulo a few minor bug fixes) the
same patch that I've been posting on and off the the last three months
and its passed a number of different tests so far.

We only need to depend on LBD.

Steven Whitehouse 048bca2237 [GFS2] No lock_nolock
This patch merges the lock_nolock module into GFS2 itself. As well as removing
some of the overhead of the module, it also means that its now impossible to
build GFS2 without a lock module (which would be a pointless thing to do
anyway).

We also plan to merge lock_dlm into GFS2 in the future, but that is a more
tricky task, and will therefore be a separate patch.

Steven Whitehouse 105284970b [GFS2] Need to ensure that sector_t is 64bits for GFS2
We need to ensure that sector_t is 64bits for GFS2, so that we need to
depend on LBD as well as LSF.

Steven Whitehouse 77658aad22 [GFS2] Eliminate (almost) duplicate field from gfs2_inode
The blocks counter is almost a duplicate of the i_blocks
field in the VFS inode. The only difference is that i_blocks
can be only 32bits long for 32bit arch without large single file
support. Since GFS2 doesn't handle the non-large single file
case (for 32 bit anyway) this adds a new config dependency on
64BIT || LSF. This has always been the case, however we've never
explicitly said so before.

Even if we do add support for the non-LSF case, we will still
not require this field to be duplicated since we will not be
able to access oversized files anyway.

So the net result of all this is that we shave 8 bytes from a gfs2_inode
and get our config deps correct.

Yes, patch below.

This patch fixes a circular dependency by letting GFS2_FS_LOCKING_DLM
and DLM depend on instead of select SYSFS.

Since SYSFS depends on EMBEDDED this change shouldn't cause any problems
for users.

Randy Dunlap 67f55897ee [GFS2/DLM] use sysfs
With CONFIG_DLM=m, CONFIG_PROC_FS=n, and CONFIG_SYSFS=n, kernel build
fails with:

WARNING: "kernel_subsys" [fs/gfs2/locking/dlm/lock_dlm.ko] undefined!
WARNING: "kernel_subsys" [fs/dlm/dlm.ko] undefined!
WARNING: "kernel_subsys" [fs/configfs/configfs.ko] undefined!
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
make: *** [modules] Error 2

Since fs/dlm/lockspace.c and fs/gfs2/locking/dlm/sysfs.c use
kernel_subsys, they should either DEPEND on it or SELECT it.
