This patch streamlines the quota checking in the "no quota" case by
making the check inline in the calling function, thus reducing the
number of function calls. Eventually we might be able to remove the
checks from the gfs2_quota_lock() and gfs2_quota_check() functions, but
currently we can't as there are a very few places in the code which need
to call these functions directly still.

We've supported mapping of extents when no block allocation is required
for some time. This patch extends that to mapping of extents when an
allocation has been requested. In that case we try to allocate as many
blocks as are requested, but we might return fewer in case there is
something preventing us from returning the complete amount (e.g. an
already allocated block is in the way).
Currently the only code path which can actually request multiple data
blocks in a single bmap call is the page_mkwrite path and even then it
only happens if there are multiple blocks per page. What this patch does
do however, is merge the allocation requests for metadata (growing the
metadata tree in either height or depth) with the allocation of the data
blocks in the case that both are needed. This results in lower overheads
even in the single block allocation case.
The one thing which we can't handle here at the moment is unstuffing. I
would like to be able to do that, but the problem which arises is that
in order to unstuff one has to get a locked page from the page cache
which results in locking problems in the (usual) case that the caller is
holding the page lock on the page it wishes to map. So that case will
have to be addressed in future patches.

In the case that we needed to grow the height of the metadata tree
we were looking up the inode buffer and then brelse()ing it despite
the fact that it is needed later in the block map process.
This patch ensures that we look up the inode's buffer once and only
once during the block map process.

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.

This adds a function (currently the only use is during mapping
of already allocated blocks, but watch this space) which iterates
over a number of pointers in a block and returns the extent length.
If the initial pointer is 0 (i.e. unallocated) it will return the
number of unallocated blocks in the extent. If the initial pointer
is allocated, then it returns the number of contiguously allocated
blocks in the extent.

Rather than having to allocate a single block at a time, this patch
allows the block allocator to allocate an extent. Since there is
no difference (so far as the block allocator is concerned) between
data blocks and indirect blocks, it is posible to allocate a single
extent and for the caller to unrevoke just the blocks required
for indirect blocks.
Currently the only bit of GFS2 to make use of this feature is the
build height function. The intention is that gfs2_block_map will
be changed to make use of this feature in future patches.

Thanks to the preceeding patches, the only difference between

By adding an extra argument to gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke we can now
specify an extent length of blocks to unrevoke. This means that
we only need to make one pass through the list for each extent
rather than each block. Currently the only extent length which
is used is 1, but that will change in the future.
Also gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke is removed from gfs2_alloc_meta
since its the only difference between this and gfs2_alloc_data
which is left. This will allow a future patch to merge these
two functions into one (i.e. one call to allocate both data
and metadata in a single extent in the future).

There were three fields being used to keep track of the location
of the most recently allocated block for each inode. These have
been merged into a single field in order to better keep the
data and metadata for an inode close on disk, and also to reduce
the space required for storage.

The reason for doing this is to allow all the block mapping code
to share the same array. As a result we can remove two arguments
from lookup_metapath since they are now returned via the array.
We also add a function to drop all refs to buffer heads when we
are done with the metapath. The build_height function shares the
struct metapath, but currently still frees its own buffers, and
this will change in a future patch.

This patch improves the calculation of the tree height in order to reduce
the number of operations which are carried out on each call to gfs2_block_map.
In the common case, we now make a single comparison, rather than calculating
the required tree height from scratch each time. Also in the case that the
tree does need some extra height, we start from the current height rather from
zero when we work out what the new height ought to be.
In addition the di_height field is moved into the inode proper and reduced
in size to a u8 since the value must be between 0 and GFS2_MAX_META_HEIGHT (10).

This patch removes the call to gfs2_extent_map from gfs2_write_alloc_required,
instead we call gfs2_block_map directly. This results in fewer overall calls
to gfs2_block_map in the multi-block case.
Also, gfs2_extent_map is marked as deprecated so that people know that its
going away as soon as all the callers have been converted.

Simplify page cache zeroing of segments of pages through 3 functions
zero_user_segments(page, start1, end1, start2, end2)
Zeros two segments of the page. It takes the position where to
start and end the zeroing which avoids length calculations and
makes code clearer.
zero_user_segment(page, start, end)
Same for a single segment.
zero_user(page, start, length)
Length variant for the case where we know the length.
We remove the zero_user_page macro. Issues:
1. Its a macro. Inline functions are preferable.
2. The KM_USER0 macro is only defined for HIGHMEM.
Having to treat this special case everywhere makes the
code needlessly complex. The parameter for zeroing is always
KM_USER0 except in one single case that we open code.
Avoiding KM_USER0 makes a lot of code not having to be dealing
with the special casing for HIGHMEM anymore. Dealing with
kmap is only necessary for HIGHMEM configurations. In those
configurations we use KM_USER0 like we do for a series of other
functions defined in highmem.h.
Since KM_USER0 is depends on HIGHMEM the existing zero_user_page
function could not be a macro. zero_user_* functions introduced
here can be be inline because that constant is not used when these
functions are called.
Also extract the flushing of the caches to be outside of the kmap.

This is a small I/O performance enhancement to gfs2. (Actually, it is a rework of
an earlier version I got wrong). The idea here is to check if the write extends
past the last block in the file. If so, the function can save itself a lot of
time and trouble because it knows an allocate will be required. Benchmarks like
iozone should see better performance.

It is possible to reduce the size of GFS2 inodes by taking the i_alloc
structure out of the gfs2_inode. This patch allocates the i_alloc
structure whenever its needed, and frees it afterward. This decreases
the amount of low memory we use at the expense of requiring a memory
allocation for each page or partial page that we write. A quick test
with postmark shows that the overhead is not measurable and I also note
that OCFS2 use the same approach.
In the future I'd like to solve the problem by shrinking down the size
of the members of the i_alloc structure, but for now, this reduces the
immediate problem of using too much low-memory on x86 and doesn't add
too much overhead.

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.

This adds a nanosecond timestamp feature to the GFS2 filesystem. Due
to the way that the on-disk format works, older filesystems will just
appear to have this field set to zero. When mounted by an older version
of GFS2, the filesystem will simply ignore the extra fields so that
it will again appear to have whole second resolution, so that its
trivially backward compatible.

This patch fixes some sign issues which were accidentally introduced
into the quota & statfs code during the endianess annotation process.
Also included is a general clean up which moves all of the _host
structures out of gfs2_ondisk.h (where they should not have been to
start with) and into the places where they are actually used (often only
one place). Also those _host structures which are not required any more
are removed entirely (which is the eventual plan for all of them).
The conversion routines from ondisk.c are also moved into the places
where they are actually used, which for almost every one, was just one
single place, so all those are now static functions. This also cleans up
the end of gfs2_ondisk.h which no longer needs the #ifdef __KERNEL__.
The net result is a reduction of about 100 lines of code, many functions
now marked static plus the bug fixes as mentioned above. For good
measure I ran the code through sparse after making these changes to
check that there are no warnings generated.

This patch cleans up the inode number handling code. The main difference
is that instead of looking up the inodes using a struct gfs2_inum_host
we now use just the no_addr member of this structure. The tests relating
to no_formal_ino can then be done by the calling code. This has
advantages in that we want to do different things in different code
paths if the no_formal_ino doesn't match. In the NFS patch we want to
return -ESTALE, but in the ->lookup() path, its a bug in the fs if the
no_formal_ino doesn't match and thus we can withdraw in this case.
In order to later fix bz #201012, we need to be able to look up an inode
without knowing no_formal_ino, as the only information that is known to
us is the on-disk location of the inode in question.
This patch will also help us to fix bz #236099 at a later date by
cleaning up a lot of the code in that area.
There are no user visible changes as a result of this patch and there
are no changes to the on-disk format either.

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

I was looking something else up and came across this...
I don't honestly have a good reason to change it other than to make it
like every other Linux filesystem in this regard. ;-) It doesn't
functionally change anything, but makes some lines shorter. :)
I'm also curious; why does gfs2 have 64-bits of on-disk timestamps, but
not in timespec_t format, and only stores second resolutions? Seems like
you're halfway to sub-second resolutions already.
I suppose if that gets implemented then all of the below should
instead be CURRENT_TIME not CURRENT_TIME_SEC.

This function wasn't really doing the right thing. There was no need
to update the inode size at this point and the updating of the
i_blocks field has now been moved to the places where di_blocks is
updated. A result of this patch and some those preceeding it is that
unlocking a glock is now a much more efficient process, since there
is no longer any requirement to copy data from the gfs2 inode into
the vfs inode at this point.

In many places GFS2 was calling the endian conversion routines
for an inode even when only a single field, or a few fields might
have changed. As a result we were copying lots of data needlessly.
This patch replaces those calls with conversion of just the
required fields in each case. This should be faster and easier
to understand. There are still other places which suffer from this
problem, but this is a start in the right direction.

Fix a bug in the directory reading code, where we might have dereferenced
a NULL pointer in case of OOM. Updated the directory code to use the new
& improved version of gfs2_meta_ra() which now returns the first block
that was being read. Previously it was releasing it requiring following
code to grab the block again at each point it was called.
Also turned off readahead on directory lookups since we are reading a
hash table, and therefore reading the entries in order is very
unlikely. Readahead is still used for all other calls to the
directory reading function (e.g. when growing the hash table).
Removed the DIO_START constant. Everywhere this was used, it was
used to unconditionally start i/o aside from a couple of places, so
I've removed it and made the couple of exceptions to this rule into
separate functions.
Also hunted through the other DIO flags and removed them as arguments
from functions which were always called with the same combination of
arguments.
Updated gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer to be a bit more efficient and
hopefully also be a bit easier to read.

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.
