This patch removes the two daemons, gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd
and replaces them with a shrinker which is called from the VM.
The net result is that GFS2 responds better when there is memory
pressure, since it shrinks the glock cache at the same rate
as the VFS shrinks the dcache and icache. There are no longer
any time based criteria for shrinking glocks, they are kept
until such time as the VM asks for more memory and then we
demote just as many glocks as required.
There are potential future changes to this code, including the
possibility of sorting the glocks which are to be written back
into inode number order, to get a better I/O ordering. It would
be very useful to have an elevator based workqueue implementation
for this, as that would automatically deal with the read I/O cases
at the same time.
This patch is my answer to Andrew Morton's remark, made during
the initial review of GFS2, asking why GFS2 needs so many kernel
threads, the answer being that it doesn't :-) This patch is a
net loss of about 200 lines of code.

By moving gfs2_recoverd, we can make an additional function static
and it also leaves only (the already scheduled for removal) gfs2_glockd
in daemon.c.
At the same time the declaration of gfs2_quotad is moved to quota.h
to reflect the new location of gfs2_quotad in a previous patch. Also
the recovery.h and quota.h headers are cleaned up.

Following on from the recent clean up of gfs2_quotad, this patch moves
the processing of "truncate in progress" inodes from the glock workqueue
into gfs2_quotad. This fixes a hang due to the "truncate in progress"
processing requiring glocks in order to complete.
It might seem odd to use gfs2_quotad for this particular item, but
we have to use a pre-existing thread since creating a thread implies
a GFP_KERNEL memory allocation which is not allowed from the glock
workqueue context. Of the existing threads, gfs2_logd and gfs2_recoverd
may deadlock if used for this operation. gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd are
both scheduled for removal at some (hopefully not too distant) future
point. That leaves only gfs2_quotad whose workload is generally fairly
light and is easily adapted for this extra task.
Also, as a result of this change, it opens the way for a future patch to
make the reading of the inode's information asynchronous with respect to
the glock workqueue, which is another improvement that has been on the list
for some time now.

This patch is a clean up of gfs2_quotad prior to giving it an
extra job to do in addition to the current portfolio of updating
the quota and statfs information from time to time.
As a result it has been moved into quota.c allowing one of the
functions it calls to be made static. Also the clean up allows
the two existing functions to have separate timeouts and also
to coexist with its future role of dealing with the "truncate in
progress" inode flag.
The (pointless) setting of gfs2_quotad_secs is removed since we
arrange to only wake up quotad when one of the two timers expires.
In addition the struct gfs2_quota_data is moved into a slab cache,
mainly for easier debugging. It should also be possible to use
a shrinker in the future, rather than the current scheme of scanning
the quota data entries from time to time.

Although the glock dumps print quite a lot of information about
the glocks themselves, there are more things which can be
usefully added to the dump realting to the objects themselves.
This patch adds a few more fields to the inode and resource
group lines, which should be useful for debugging.

This patch moves the final field so that we can get rid
of struct gfs2_rgrpd_host, as promised some time ago. Also
by rearranging the fields slightly, we are able to reduce
the size of the gfs2_rgrpd structure at the same time.

This moves one of the fields of struct gfs2_rgrpd_host into

The final field in gfs2_dinode_host was the i_flags field. Thats
renamed to i_diskflags in order to avoid confusion with the existing
inode flags, and moved into the inode proper at a suitable location
to avoid creating a "hole".
At that point struct gfs2_dinode_host is no longer needed and as
promised (quite some time ago!) it can now be removed completely.

This moves the directory entry count into the proper inode.
Potentially we could get this to share the space used by
something else in the future, but this is one more step
on the way to removing the gfs2_dinode_host structure.

This moves the generation number from the gfs2_dinode_host

There is a bug in writepage and delete_inode which allows jdata files to
invalidate pages from the address space without being in a transaction at
the time. This causes problems in case the pages are in the journal. This
patch fixes that case and prevents the resulting oops.

This patch implements the FIEMAP ioctl for GFS2. We can use the generic
code (aside from a lock order issue, solved as per Ted Tso's suggestion)
for which I've introduced a new variant of the generic function. We also
have one exception to deal with, namely stuffed files, so we do that
"by hand", setting all the required flags.
This has been tested with a modified (I could only find an old version) of
Eric's test program, and appears to work correctly.
This patch does not currently support FIEMAP of xattrs, but the plan is to add
that feature at some future point.

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.
The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).
This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

The function viafb_cursor() uses 2 stack-variables of CURSOR_SIZE bits;
CURSOR_SIZE is defined as (8 * 1024). Using up twice 1k on stack is too
much for 4k-stack (though it works with 8k-stacks). Make those two
variables kzalloc'ed to preserve stack space.
Also merge the whole lot of local struct's in viafb_ioctl into a union so
the stack usage gets minimized here as well. (struct's are only accessed
in their indicidual IOCTL case) This second part is only compile-tested as
I know of no userspace app using the IOCTLs.

Also, while at it, convert the macros to static inlines to try make up
