Seeing that just about every destructor got that INIT_LIST_HEAD() copied into
it, there is no point whatsoever keeping this INIT_LIST_HEAD in inode_init_once();
the cost of taking it into inode_init_always() will be negligible for pipes
and sockets and negative for everything else. Not to mention the removal of
boilerplate code from ->destroy_inode() instances...

The i_mutex lock use of generic _file_llseek hurts. Independent processes
accessing the same file synchronize over a single lock, even though
they have no need for synchronization at all.
Under high utilization this can cause llseek to scale very poorly on larger
systems.
This patch does some rethinking of the llseek locking model:
First the 64bit f_pos is not necessarily atomic without locks
on 32bit systems. This can already cause races with read() today.
This was discussed on linux-kernel in the past and deemed acceptable.
The patch does not change that.
Let's look at the different seek variants:
SEEK_SET: Doesn't really need any locking.
If there's a race one writer wins, the other loses.
For 32bit the non atomic update races against read()
stay the same. Without a lock they can also happen
against write() now. The read() race was deemed
acceptable in past discussions, and I think if it's
ok for read it's ok for write too.
=> Don't need a lock.
SEEK_END: This behaves like SEEK_SET plus it reads
the maximum size too. Reading the maximum size would have the
32bit atomic problem. But luckily we already have a way to read
the maximum size without locking (i_size_read), so we
can just use that instead.
Without i_mutex there is no synchronization with write() anymore,
however since the write() update is atomic on 64bit it just behaves
like another racy SEEK_SET. On non atomic 32bit it's the same
as SEEK_SET.
=> Don't need a lock, but need to use i_size_read()
SEEK_CUR: This has a read-modify-write race window
on the same file. One could argue that any application
doing unsynchronized seeks on the same file is already broken.
But for the sake of not adding a regression here I'm
using the file->f_lock to synchronize this. Using this
lock is much better than the inode mutex because it doesn't
synchronize between processes.
=> So still need a lock, but can use a f_lock.
This patch implements this new scheme in generic_file_llseek.
I dropped generic_file_llseek_unlocked and changed all callers.

GFS2's fallocate code currently goes through the page cache. Since it's only
writing to the end of the file or to holes in it, it doesn't need to, and it
was causing issues on low memory environments. This patch pulls in some of
Steve's block allocation work, and uses it to simply allocate the blocks for
the file, and zero them out at allocation time. It provides a slight
performance increase, and it dramatically simplifies the code.

Bob reported:
I found an off-by-one problem with how I coded this section:
It should be:
+ else if (blk >= cur->rd_data0 + cur->rd_data)
In fact, cur->rd_data0 + cur->rd_data is the start of the next
rgrp (the next ri_addr), so without the "=" check it can land on
the wrong rgrp.
In all normal cases, this won't be a problem: you're searching
for a block _within_ the rgrp, which will pass the test properly.
Where it gets into trouble is if you search the rgrps for the
block exactly equal to ri_addr. I don't think anything in the
kernel does this, but I found a place in gfs2-utils gfs2_edit
where it does. So I definitely need to fix it in libgfs2. I'd
like to suggest we fix it in the kernel as well for the sake of
keeping the functions similar.
So this patch fixes the above mentioned off by one error as well
as removing the unused parent pointer.

This patch brings gfs2's ->page_mkwrite uptodate with respect to the
expectations set by the VM. Also added is a check to wait if the fs
is frozen, before we attempt to get a glock. This will only work on
the node which initiates the freeze, but thats ok since the transaction
lock will still provide the expected barrier on other nodes.
The major change here is that we return a locked page now, except when
we don't return a page at all (error cases). This removes the race
which required rechecking the page after it was returned.

Unfortunately, it is not enough to just ignore locked buffers during
the AIL flush from fsync. We need to be able to ignore all buffers
which are locked, dirty or pinned at this stage as they might have
been added subsequent to the log flush earlier in the fsync function.
In addition, this means that we no longer need to rely on i_mutex to
keep out writes during fsync, so we can, as a side-effect, remove
that protection too.

Each block which is deallocated, requires a call to gfs2_rlist_add()
and each of those calls was calling gfs2_blk2rgrpd() in order to
figure out which rgrp the block belonged in. This can be speeded up
by making use of the rgrp cached in the inode. We also reset this
cached rgrp in case the block has changed rgrp. This should provide
a big reduction in gfs2_blk2rgrpd() calls during deallocation.

The recursive_scan() function only ever takes a single "bc"
argument, so we might as well just call do_strip() directly
from resource_scan() rather than pass it in as an argument.
Also the "data" argument is always a struct strip_mine, so
we can pass that in, rather than using a void pointer.
This also moves do_strip() ahead of recursive_scan() so that
we don't need to add a prototype.

Given that a resource group has been locked, there is no reason why
we should not be able to allocate as many blocks as are free. The
al_requested parameter should really be considered as a minimum
number of blocks to be available. Should this limit be overshot,
there are other mechanisms which will prevent over allocation.

This means that after the initial allocation for any inode, the
last used resource group is cached in the inode for future use.
This drastically reduces the number of lookups of resource
groups in the common case, and this the contention on that
data structure.
The allocation algorithm is the same as previously, except that we
always check to see if the goal block is within the cached rgrp
first before going to the rbtree to look one up.

Since we have ruled out supporting online filesystem shrink,
it is possible to make the resource group list append only
during the life of a super block. This gives several benefits:
Firstly, we only need to read new rindex elements as they are added
rather than needing to reread the whole rindex file each time one
element is added.
Secondly, the rindex glock can be held for much shorter periods of
time, and is completely removed from the fast path for allocations.
The lock is taken in shared mode only when updating the resource
groups when the first allocation occurs, and after a grow has
taken place.
Thirdly, this results in a reduction in code size, and everything
gets a lot simpler to understand in this area.

Here is an update of Bob's original rbtree patch which, in addition, also
resolves the rather strange ref counting that was being done relating to
the bitmap blocks.
Originally we had a dual system for journaling resource groups. The metadata
blocks were journaled and also the rgrp itself was added to a list. The reason
for adding the rgrp to the list in the journal was so that the "repolish
clones" code could be run to update the free space, and potentially send any
discard requests when the log was flushed. This was done by comparing the
"cloned" bitmap with what had been written back on disk during the transaction
commit.
Due to this, there was a requirement to hang on to the rgrps' bitmap buffers
until the journal had been flushed. For that reason, there was a rather
complicated set up in the ->go_lock ->go_unlock functions for rgrps involving
both a mutex and a spinlock (the ->sd_rindex_spin) to maintain a reference
count on the buffers.
However, the journal maintains a reference count on the buffers anyway, since
they are being journaled as metadata buffers. So by moving the code which deals
with the post-journal accounting for bitmap blocks to the metadata journaling
code, we can entirely dispense with the rather strange buffer ref counting
scheme and also the requirement to journal the rgrps.
The net result of all this is that the ->sd_rindex_spin is left to do exactly
one job, and that is to look after the rbtree or rgrps.
This patch is designed to be a stepping stone towards using RCU for the rbtree
of resource groups, however the reduction in the number of uses of the
->sd_rindex_spin is likely to have benefits for multi-threaded workloads,
anyway.
The patch retains ->go_lock and ->go_unlock for rgrps, however these maybe also
be removed in future in favour of calling the functions directly where required
in the code. That will allow locking of resource groups without needing to
actually read them in - something that could be useful in speeding up statfs.
In the mean time though it is valid to dereference ->bi_bh only when the rgrp
is locked. This is basically the same rule as before, modulo the references not
being valid until the following journal flush.

We need to take the inode's glock whenever the inode's size
is referenced, otherwise it might not be uptodate. Even
though generic_file_llseek_unlocked() doesn't implement
SEEK_DATA, SEEK_HOLE directly, it does reference the inode's
size in those cases, so we need to add them to the list
of origins which need the glock.

The aim of this patch is to use the newly enhanced ->dirty_inode()
super block operation to deal with atime updates, rather than
piggy backing that code into ->write_inode() as is currently
done.
The net result is a simplification of the code in various places
and a reduction of the number of gfs2_dinode_out() calls since
this is now implied by ->dirty_inode().
Some of the mark_inode_dirty() calls have been moved under glocks
in order to take advantage of then being able to avoid locking in
->dirty_inode() when we already have suitable locks.
One consequence is that generic_write_end() now correctly deals
with file size updates, so that we do not need a separate check
for that afterwards. This also, indirectly, means that fdatasync
should work correctly on GFS2 - the current code always syncs the
metadata whether it needs to or not.
Has survived testing with postmark (with and without atime) and
also fsx.

Journaled data requires that a complete flush of all dirty data for
the file is done, in order that the ail flush which comes after
will succeed.
Also the recently enhanced bug trap can trigger falsely in case
an ail flush from fsync races with a page read. This updates the
bug trap such that it will ignore buffers which are locked and
only trigger on dirty and/or pinned buffers when the ail flush
is run from fsync. The original bug trap is retained when ail
flush is run from ->go_sync()

If we have got far enough through the inode allocation code
path that an inode has already been allocated, then we must
call iput to dispose of it, if an error occurs during a
later part of the process. This will always be the final iput
since there will be no other references to the inode.
Unlike when the inode has been unlinked, its block state will
be GFS2_BLKST_INODE rather than GFS2_BLKST_UNLINKED so we need
to skip the test in ->evict_inode() for this one case in order
to ensure that it will be deallocated correctly. This patch adds
a new flag in order to ensure that this will happen correctly.

We do not need to start a transaction unless the atime
check has proved positive. Also if we are going to flush

Now that the data writing is part of fsync proper, we can split
