This patch solves a corner case during allocation which occurs if both
metadata (indirect) and data blocks are required but there is an
obstacle in the filesystem (e.g. a resource group header or another
allocated block) such that when the allocation is requested only
enough blocks for the metadata are returned.
By changing the exit condition of this loop, we ensure that a
minimum of one data block will always be returned.

Although all glocks are, by the time of the umount glock wait,
scheduled for demotion, some of them haven't made it far
enough through the process for the original set of waiting
code to wait for them.
This extends the ref count to the whole glock lifetime in order
to ensure that the waiting does catch all glocks. It does make
it a bit more invasive, but it seems the only sensible solution
at the moment.

This patch adds a wait on umount between the point at which we
dispose of all glocks and the point at which we unmount the
lock protocol. This ensures that we've received all the replies
to our unlock requests before we stop the locking.

ince gfs2 writes the rindex file a block at a time, and releases the
exclusive lock after each block, it is possible that another process
will grab the lock in the middle of the write. Since rindex entries are
not an even divisor of blocks, that other process may see partial
entries. On grows, this is fine. The process can simply ignore the the
partial entires. Previously, the code withdrew when it saw partial
entries. Now it simply ignores them.

The rename code was taking a resource group lock in cases where
it wasn't actually needed, this caused problems if the rename
was resulting in an inode being unlinked. The patch ensures that
we only take the rgrp lock early if it is really needed.

The VFS reads the inode size during generic_file_aio_write() but
with no locking around it. In order to get the expected result
from O_APPEND opens, this patch updated the inode size before
calling generic_file_aio_write()
There is of course still a race here, in that there is nothing to
prevent another node coming in and extending the file in the
mean time. On the other hand, when used with file locking this
will ensure that the expected results are obtained.

This reverts commit e4c570c4cb, as
requested by Alexey:
"I think I gave a good enough arguments to not merge it.
To iterate:
* patch makes impossible to start using ext3 on EXT3_FS=n kernels
without reboot.
* this is done only for one pointer on task_struct"
None of config options which define task_struct are tristate directly
or effectively."

Add a flags argument to struct xattr_handler and pass it to all xattr
handler methods. This allows using the same methods for multiple
handlers, e.g. for the ACL methods which perform exactly the same action
for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying
attribute. With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the
methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and
jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch.
Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow
using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later,
e.g. cifs.

This patch fixes some ref counting issues. Firstly by moving
the point at which we drop the ref count after a dlm lock
operation has completed we ensure that we never call
gfs2_glock_hold() on a lock with a zero ref count.
Secondly, by using atomic_dec_and_lock() in gfs2_glock_put()
we ensure that at no time will a glock with zero ref count
appear on the lru_list. That means that we can remove the
check for this in our shrinker (which was racy).

When a gfs2 filesystem is grown, it needs to rebuild the rindex list to be able
to use the new space. gfs2 does this when the rindex is marked not uptodate,
which happens when the rindex glock is dropped. However, on a single node
setup, there is never any reason to drop the rindex glock, so gfs2 never
invalidates the the rindex. This patch makes gfs2 automatically drop the
rindex glock after filesystem grows, so it can refresh the rindex list.

There are two spare field in the header common to all GFS2
metadata. One is just the right size to fit a journal id
in it, and this patch updates the journal code so that each
time a metadata block is modified, we tag it with the journal
id of the node which is performing the modification.
The reason for this is that it should make it much easier to
debug issues which arise if we can tell which node was the
last to modify a particular metadata block.
Since the field is updated before the block is written into
the journal, each journal should only contain metadata which
is tagged with its own journal id. The one exception to this
is the journal header block, which might have a different node's
id in it, if that journal was recovered by another node in the
cluster.
Thus each journal will contain a record of which nodes recovered
it, via the journal header.
The other field in the metadata header could potentially be
used to hold information about what kind of operation was
performed, but for the time being we just zero it on each
transaction so that if we use it for that in future, we'll
know that the information (where it exists) is reliable.
I did consider using the other field to hold the journal
sequence number, however since in GFS2's journaling we write
the modified data into the journal and not the original
data, this gives no information as to what action caused the
modification, so I think we can probably come up with a better
use for those 64 bits in the future.

This function only had one caller left, and that caller only
called it for leaf blocks, hence one branch of the "if" was
never taken. In addition the call to get_left had already
verified the metadata type, so the function can be reduced
to a single line of code in its caller.

Currently gfs2 issues barrier unconditionally. There are various reasons
to disable them, be that just for testing or for stupid devices flushing
large battert backed caches. Add a nobarrier option that matches xfs and
btrfs for this. Also add a symmetric barrier option to turn it back on
at remount time.
