71b86f562b [GFS2] Further updates to dir and logging code
This reduces the size of the directory code by about 3k and gets
readdir() to use the functions which were introduced in the previous
directory code update.

Two memory allocations are merged into one. Eliminates zeroing of some
buffers which were never used before they were initialised by
other data.

There is still scope for further improvement in the directory code.

On the logging side, a hand created mutex has been replaced by a
standard Linux mutex in the log allocation code.

c752666c17 [GFS2] Fix bug in directory code and tidy up
Due to a typo, the dir leaf split operation was (for the first
split in a directory) writing the new hash vaules at the
wrong offset. This is now fixed.

Also some other tidy ups are included:

 - We use GFS2's hash function for dentries (see ops_dentry.c) so that
   we don't have to keep recalculating the hash values.
 - A lot of common code is eliminated between the various directory
   lookup routines.
 - Better error checking on directory lookup (previously different
   routines checked for different errors)
 - The leaf split operation has a couple of redundant operations
   removed from it, so it should be faster.

There is still further scope for further clean ups in the directory
code, and readdir in particular could do with slimming down a bit.

18ec7d5c3f [GFS2] Make journaled data files identical to normal files on disk
This is a very large patch, with a few still to be resolved issues
so you might want to check out the previous head of the tree since
this is known to be unstable. Fixes for the various bugs will be
forthcoming shortly.

This patch removes the special data format which has been used
up till now for journaled data files. Directories still retain the
old format so that they will remain on disk compatible with earlier
releases. As a result you can now do the following with journaled
data files:

 1) mmap them
 2) export them over NFS
 3) convert to/from normal files whenever you want to (the zero length
    restriction is gone)

In addition the level at which GFS' locking is done has changed for all
files (since they all now use the page cache) such that the locking is
done at the page cache level rather than the level of the fs operations.
This should mean that things like loopback mounts and other things which
touch the page cache directly should now work.

Current known issues:

 1. There is a lock mode inversion problem related to the resource
    group hold function which needs to be resolved.
 2. Any significant amount of I/O causes an oops with an offset of hex 320
    (NULL pointer dereference) which appears to be related to a journaled data
    buffer appearing on a list where it shouldn't be.
 3. Direct I/O writes are disabled for the time being (will reappear later)
 4. There is probably a deadlock between the page lock and GFS' locks under
    certain combinations of mmap and fs operation I/O.
 5. Issue relating to ref counting on internally used inodes causes a hang
    on umount (discovered before this patch, and not fixed by it)
 6. One part of the directory metadata is different from GFS1 and will need
    to be resolved before next release.
