This has been on my list for some time. We need to change the way
in which we handle extended attributes to allow faster file creation
times (by reducing the number of transactions required) and the
extended attribute code is the main obstacle to this.
In addition to that, the VFS provides a way to demultiplex the xattr
calls which we ought to be using, rather than rolling our own. This
patch changes the GFS2 code to use that VFS feature and as a result
the code shrinks by a couple of hundred lines or so, and becomes
easier to read.
I'm planning on doing further clean up work in this area, but this
patch is a good start. The cleaned up code also uses the more usual
"xattr" shorthand, I plan to eliminate the use of "eattr" eventually
and in the mean time it serves as a flag as to which bits of the code
have been updated.

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.

Remove read/write permission() checks from xattr operations.
VFS layer is already handling permission for xattrs via the
xattr_permission() call, so there is no need for gfs2 to
check permissions. Futhermore, using permission() for SELinux
xattrs ops is incorrect.

I forgot to remove capability.h from mm.h while removing sched.h! This
patch remedies that, because the only inline function which was using
CAP_something was made out of line.
Cross-compile tested without regressions on:
all powerpc defconfigs
all mips defconfigs
all m68k defconfigs
all arm defconfigs
all ia64 defconfigs
alpha alpha-allnoconfig alpha-defconfig alpha-up
arm
i386 i386-allnoconfig i386-defconfig i386-up
ia64 ia64-allnoconfig ia64-defconfig ia64-up
m68k
mips
parisc parisc-allnoconfig parisc-defconfig parisc-up
powerpc powerpc-up
s390 s390-allnoconfig s390-defconfig s390-up
sparc sparc-allnoconfig sparc-defconfig sparc-up
sparc64 sparc64-allnoconfig sparc64-defconfig sparc64-up
um-x86_64
x86_64 x86_64-allnoconfig x86_64-defconfig x86_64-up
as well as my two usual configs.

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).

This removes the duplicate di_mode field in favour of using the
inode->i_mode field. This saves 4 bytes.

lm_interface.h has a few out of the tree clients such as GFS1
and userland tools.
Right now, these clients keeps a copy of the file in their build tree
that can go out of sync.
Move lm_interface.h to include/linux, export it to userland and
clean up fs/gfs2 to use the new location.

As per Jan Engelhardt's request and also a few of my own. It has
been possible to add a few most const to the code as a result of
the change in gfs2_ea_name2type.

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.

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.

This adds support to GFS2 for selinux extended attributes. There is a
known bug in gfs2_ea_get() which is believed to be independant of this
patch. Further patches will follow once that bug is fixed in order to
make GFS2 use as much of the generic eattr infrastructure as possible.

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.
