As was already pointed out Mathieu Avila on Thu, 07 Sep 2006 03:15:25 -0700
that OCFS2 is expecting bio_add_page() to add pages to BIOs in an easily
predictable manner.
That is not true, especially for devices with own merge_bvec_fn().
Therefore OCFS2's heartbeat code is very likely to fail on such devices.
Move the bio_put() call into the bio's bi_end_io() function. This makes the
whole idea of trying to predict the behaviour of bio_add_page() unnecessary.
Removed compute_max_sectors() and o2hb_compute_request_limits().

The patch allows the ocfs2 heartbeat thread to prioritize I/O which may
help cut down on spurious fencing. Most of this will be in the tools -
we can have a pid configfs attribute and let userspace (ocfs2_hb_ctl)
calls the ioprio_set syscall after starting heartbeat, but only cfq
scheduler supports I/O priorities now.

All kcalloc() calls of the form "kcalloc(1,...)" are converted to the
equivalent kzalloc() calls, and a few kcalloc() calls with the incorrect
ordering of the first two arguments are fixed.

locking init cleanups:
- convert " = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED" to spin_lock_init() or DEFINE_SPINLOCK()
- convert rwlocks in a similar manner
this patch was generated automatically.
Motivation:
- cleanliness
- lockdep needs control of lock initialization, which the open-coded
variants do not give
- it's also useful for -rt and for lock debugging in general

Propagate errors received in o2hb_bio_end_io() back to the heartbeat thread
so it can skip re-arming the timer.

Disk based heartbeat. Configured and started from userspace, the
kernel component handles I/O submission and event generation via
callback mechanism.
