The FITRIM ioctl provides an alternative way to send discard requests to
the underlying device. Using the discard mount option results in every
freed block generating a discard request to the block device. This can
be slow, since many block devices can only process discard requests of
larger sizes, and also such operations can be time consuming.
Rather than using the discard mount option, FITRIM allows a sweep of the
filesystem on an occasional basis, and also to optionally avoid sending
down discard requests for smaller regions.
In GFS2 FITRIM will work at resource group granularity. There is a flag
for each resource group which keeps track of which resource groups have
been trimmed. This flag is reset whenever a deallocation occurs in the
resource group, and set whenever a successful FITRIM of that resource
group has taken place. This helps to reduce repeated discard requests
for the same block ranges, again improving performance.

This new method of managing recovery is an alternative to
the previous approach of using the userland gfs_controld.
- use dlm slot numbers to assign journal id's
- use dlm recovery callbacks to initiate journal recovery
- use a dlm lock to determine the first node to mount fs
- use a dlm lock to track journals that need recovery

This is the kernel portion of the patch-set for upstream gfs2,
to remove the quota-linked-list stuff and replace it with
fiemap-based traversal of the quota file.
The corresponding userland fixes have been pushed to
STABLE3 and master branches of cluster.git and gfs2-utils.git
respectively (Refer Red Hat bug #536902).

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 patch adds a UUID to the GFS2 sb structure. This field is not
actually referenced from kernel space at all, but is added for
completeness and due to the userland tools which get their on-disk
structure information from the gfs2_ondisk.h header file.
Since we have to be backwards compatible, we will assume that any GFS2
sb for which the UUID is all 0 does not have a UUID as such.
We should then be (after some userland changes) able to support the -U
mount option. This addresses Fedora bugzilla #242689

This is the filesystem part of the patches to fix this bz. There are
additional userland patches (gfs2_quota, libgfs2) for the complete
solution. This patch adds a new field qu_ll_next to the gfs2_quota
structure. This field allows us to create linked lists of quotas in the
ondisk quota inode. Instead of scanning through the entire sparse quota
file for valid quotas, we can now simply walk through the user and group
quota linked lists to perform the do_list operation.

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.

The meta_header for an ondisk rgrp never changes, so there is no point
copying it in and back out to disk. Also there is no reason to keep
a copy for each rgrp in memory.
The code already checks to ensure that the header is correct before
it calls the routine to copy the data in, so that we don't even need
to check whether its correct on disk in the functions in ondisk.c
