This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode. Filesystems that want
to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.
Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)
values for i_blksize.

The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).
This patch:
The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

Fix a bug in the directory reading code, where we might have dereferenced
a NULL pointer in case of OOM. Updated the directory code to use the new
& improved version of gfs2_meta_ra() which now returns the first block
that was being read. Previously it was releasing it requiring following
code to grab the block again at each point it was called.
Also turned off readahead on directory lookups since we are reading a
hash table, and therefore reading the entries in order is very
unlikely. Readahead is still used for all other calls to the
directory reading function (e.g. when growing the hash table).
Removed the DIO_START constant. Everywhere this was used, it was
used to unconditionally start i/o aside from a couple of places, so
I've removed it and made the couple of exceptions to this rule into
separate functions.
Also hunted through the other DIO flags and removed them as arguments
from functions which were always called with the same combination of
arguments.
Updated gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer to be a bit more efficient and
hopefully also be a bit easier to read.

lm_interface.h has a few out of the tree clients such as GFS1

Right now, these clients keeps a copy of the file in their build tree

This is a tidy up of the GFS2 bmap code. The main change is that the
bh is passed to gfs2_block_map allowing the flags to be set directly
rather than having to repeat that code several times in ops_address.c.
At the same time, the extent mapping code from gfs2_extent_map has
been moved into gfs2_block_map. This allows all calls to gfs2_block_map
to map extents in the case that no allocation is taking place. As a
result reads and non-allocating writes should be faster. A quick test
with postmark appears to support this.
There is a limit on the number of blocks mapped in a single bmap
call in that it will only ever map blocks which are pointed to
from a single pointer block. So in other words, it will never try
to do additional i/o in order to satisfy read-ahead. The maximum
number of blocks is thus somewhat less than 512 (the GFS2 4k block
size minus the header divided by sizeof(u64)). I've further limited
the mapping of "normal" blocks to 32 blocks (to avoid extra work)
since readpages() will currently read a maximum of 32 blocks ahead (128k).
Some further work will probably be needed to set a suitable value
for DIO as well, but for now thats left at the maximum 512 (see
ops_address.c:gfs2_get_block_direct).
There is probably a lot more that can be done to improve bmap for GFS2,
but this is a good first step.

Use atomic_t as the ref count in glocks rather than a kref.
This is another step towards using RCU for the glock hash.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
This results in smaller list heads, so that we can have more chains
in the same amount of memory (twice as many). I've multiplied the
size of the table by four though - this is because we are saving
memory by not having one lock per chain any more. So we land up
using about the same amount of memory for the hash table as we
did before I started these changes, the difference being that we
now have four times as many hash chains.
The reason that I say "about the same amount of memory" is that the
actual amount now depends upon the NR_CPUS and some of the config
variables, so that its not exact and in some cases we do use more
memory. Eventually we might want to scale the hash table size
according to the size of physical ram as measured on module load.

The existing implementation of this function in glock.c was not
very efficient as it relied upon keeping a cursor element upon the
hash chain in question and moving it along. This new version improves
upon this by using the current element as a cursor. This is possible
since we only look at the "next" element in the list after we've
taken the read_lock() subsequent to calling the examiner function.
Obviously we have to eventually drop the ref count that we are then
left with and we cannot do that while holding the read_lock, so we
do that next time we drop the lock. That means either just before
we examine another glock, or when the loop has terminated.
The new implementation has several advantages: it uses only a
read_lock() rather than a write_lock(), so it can run simnultaneously
with other code, it doesn't need a "plug" element, so that it removes
a test not only from this list iterator, but from all the other glock
list iterators too. So it makes things faster and smaller.

This splits the rwlocks guarding the hash chains of the glock hash
table into their own array. This will reduce memory usage in some
cases due to better alignment, although the real reason for doing it
is to allow the two tables to be different sizes in future (i.e.
the locks will be sized proportionally with the max number of CPUs
and the hash chains sized proportinally with the size of physical memory)
In order to allow this, the gl_bucket member of struct gfs2_glock has
now become gl_hash, so we record the hash rather than a pointer to the
bucket itself.

There are several reasons why we want to do this:
- Firstly its large and thus we'll scale better with multiple
GFS2 fs mounted at the same time
- Secondly its easier to scale its size as required (thats a plan
for later patches)
- Thirdly, we can use kzalloc rather than vmalloc when allocating
the superblock (its now only 4888 bytes)
- Fourth its all part of my plan to eventually be able to use RCU
with the glock hash.
