kobjects are much easier to handle now. This cleaned up a LOT
of code all through the kernel, making kobjects easier to use
if you want to.
- struct bus_type has been reworked to now handle the lifetime
rules properly, as the kobject is properly dynamic.
- struct driver has also been reworked, and now the lifetime
issues are resolved.
- the block subsystem has been converted to use struct device
now, and not "raw" kobjects. This patch has been in the -mm
tree for over a year now, and finally all the issues are
worked out with it. Older distros now properly work with new
kernels, and no userspace updates are needed at all.
- nozomi driver is added. This has also been in -mm for a long
time, and many people have asked for it to go in. It is now
in good enough shape to do so.
- lots of class_device conversions to use struct device instead.
The tree is almost all cleaned up now, only SCSI and IB is the
remaining code to fix up...

[GFS2] Reduce inode size by moving i_alloc out of line
It is possible to reduce the size of GFS2 inodes by taking the i_alloc

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.

[GFS2] Run through full bitmaps quicker in gfs2_bitfit
I eliminated the passing of an unused parameter into gfs2_bitfit called rgd.
This also changes the gfs2_bitfit code that searches for free (or used) blocks.
Before, the code was trying to check for bytes that indicated 4 blocks in
the undesired state. The problem is, it was spending more time trying to
do this than it actually was saving. This version only optimizes the case
where we're looking for free blocks, and it checks a machine word at a time.
So on 32-bit machines, it will check 32-bits (16 blocks) and on 64-bit
machines, it will check 64-bits (32 blocks) at a time. The compiler
optimizes that quite well and we save some time, especially when running
through full bitmaps (like the bitmaps allocated for the journals).
There's probably a more elegant or optimized way to do this, but I haven't

While we do what we can to guarantee that they are installed properly in

The only sign of missing helpers is that lock_dlm will receive no mount options

helpers are not required.
The patch has been tested for both gfs and gfs2 and it works as expected. The
lack of mount.gfs* will generate an error that is propagated to mount:
oot@node1:~# mount -t gfs2 /dev/nbd2 /mnt/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/nbd2,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
[ 3513.303346] GFS2: fsid=: Trying to join cluster "lock_dlm", "gutsy:gfs2"
[ 3513.304546] DLM/GFS2/GFS ERROR: (u)mount helpers are not installed properly!
[ 3513.306290] GFS2: fsid=: can't mount proto=lock_dlm, table=gutsy:gfs2, hostdata=
You might want to notice that it will also avoid mount to hang or fail silently
or with strange errors that will require the cluster to reboot/restart before
you can actually mount the filesystem again.

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.

[GFS2] Use atomic_t for journal free blocks counter
This patch changes the counter which keeps track of the free
blocks in the journal to an atomic_t in preparation for the
following patch which will update the log reservation code.

The only reason for adding glocks to the journal was to keep track
of which locks required a log flush prior to release. We add a
flag to the glock to allow this check to be made in a simpler way.
This reduces the size of a glock (by 12 bytes on i386, 24 on x86_64)
and means that we can avoid extra work during the journal flush.

[GFS2] check kthread_should_stop when waiting
Use wait_event_interruptible() in the lock_dlm thread instead
of an open coded equivalent, and include a kthread_should_stop()
check in the wait test so we don't miss a kthread_stop().

[GFS2] Given device ID rather than s_id in "id" sysfs file
This patch changes the /sys/fs/gfs2/<s_id>/id file to give the device
id "major:minor" rather than the s_id. That enables gfs2_tool to
match devices properly (by id, not name) when locating the tuning files.

The HIF_MUTEX and HIF_PROMOTE flags were set on the glock holders
depending upon which of the two waiters lists they were going to
be queued upon. They were then tested when the holders were taken
off the lists to ensure that the right type of holder was being
dequeued.
Since we are already using separate lists, there doesn't seem a
lot of point having these flags as well, and since setting them
and testing them is in the fast path for locking and unlocking
glock, this patch removes them.

Previously we were doing (write data, wait for data, write metadata, wait
for metadata). After this patch we so (write metadata, write data, wait for
data, wait for metadata) which should be more efficient.
Also I noticed that the drop_bh and xmote_bh functions were almost
identical. In fact the only difference was a single test, and that
test is such that in the drop_bh case, it would always evaluate to
the correct result. As such we can use the xmote_bh functions in
all the places where we were using the drop_bh function and remove
the drop_bh functions.

This call to reclaim glocks is not needed, and in particular we don't want it
in the fast path for locking glocks. The limit was entirely arbitrary anyway
and we can't expect users to adjust things like this, the remaining code will
do the right thing on its own.

[GFS2] Don't hold page lock when starting transaction
This is an addendum to the new AOPs work which moves the point
at which we take the page lock so that we don't get it until
the last possible moment. This resolves a conflict between
starting transactions and the page lock.
