The intent is that this structure will hold the information
required when adding entries to a directory (linking). To
start with, it will contain only the number of blocks which
are required to link the new entry into the directory. The
current calculation returns either 0 or the maximim number of
blocks that can ever be requested by such a transaction.

The intent is that in a later patch, we can update the dir
code to calculate this value more accurately. In addition
further patches will also add further fields to the new
structure to increase its utility.

In addition this patch fixes a bug where the link used during
inode creation was adding requesting too many blocks in
some cases. This is harmless unless the fs is close to being
full.

The reservation for an inode should be cleared when it is truncated so
that we can start again at a different offset for future allocations.
We could try and do better than that, by resetting the search based on
where the truncation started from, but this is only a first step.

In addition, there are three callers of gfs2_rs_delete() but only one
of those should really be testing the value of i_writecount. While
we get away with that in the other cases currently, I think it would
be better if we made that test specific to the one case which
requires it.

I've restricted atomic_open to only operate on regular files, although
I still don't understand why atomic_open should not be possible also for
directories on GFS2. That can always be added in later though, if it
makes sense.

The ->atomic_open function can be passed negative dentries, which
in most cases means either ENOENT (->lookup) or a call to d_instantiate
(->create). In the GFS2 case though, we need to actually perform the
look up, since we do not know whether there has been a new inode created
on another node. The look up calls d_splice_alias which then tries to
rehash the dentry - so the solution here is to simply check for that
in d_splice_alias. The same issue is likely to affect any other cluster
filesystem implementing ->atomic_open

Creation of a new inode requires a directory search in order to ensure
that we are not trying to create an inode with the same name as an
existing one. This was hidden away inside the create_ok() function.

In the case that there was an existing inode, and a lookup can be
substituted for a create (which is the case with regular files
when the O_EXCL flag is not in use) then we were doing a second
lookup in order to return the inode.

This patch merges these two lookups into one. This can be done by
passing a flag to gfs2_dir_search() to tell it to just return -EEXIST
in the cases where we don't actually want to look up the inode.

Over the previous two patches relating to inode creation, the
content of init_dinode() has been looking more and more like
gfs2_dinode_out(). This is not an accident! This patch replaces
the parts of init_dinode() which are duplicated in gfs2_dinode_out()
with a call to that function.

Mostly that is straightforward, but there is one issue which needed
to be resolved relating to the link count. The link count has to be
set to zero in a certain error handling code path, which lands up
calling iput(). This is now done specifically in that code path
allowing the link count to be set earlier and written into the
on disk inode by gfs2_dinode_put() in the normal way.

The original method for creating inodes used in GFS2 was to fill
out a buffer, with all the information, and then to read that
buffer into the in-core inode, using gfs2_refresh_inode()

The problem with this approach is that all the inode's fields
need to be calculated ahead of time, and were stored in various
variables making the code rather complicated.

The new approach is simply to allocate the in-core inode earlier
and fill in as many fields as possible ahead of time. These can
then be used to initilise the on disk representation. The
code has been working towards the point where it is possible
to remove gfs2_refresh_inode() because all the fields are
correctly initialised ahead of time. We've now reached that
milestone, and have reversed the order of setting up the in
core and on disk inodes.

This patch cleans up the inode creation code path in GFS2. After the
Orlov allocator was merged, a number of potential improvements are
now possible, and this is a first set of these.

The quota handling is now updated so that it matches the point in
the code where the allocation takes place. This means that the one
exception in gfs2_alloc_blocks relating to quota is now no longer
required, and we can use the generic code everywhere.

In addition the call to figure out whether we need to allocate any
extra blocks in order to add a directory entry is moved higher up
gfs2_create_inode. This means that if it returns an error, we
can deal with that at a stage where it is easier to handle that case.
The returned status cannot change during the function since we hold
an exclusive lock on the directory.

Two calls to gfs2_rindex_update have been changed to one, again at
the top of gfs2_create_inode to simplify error handling.

The time stamps are also now initialised earlier in the creation
process, this is gradually moving towards being able to remove the
call to gfs2_refresh_inode in gfs2_inode_create once we have all the
fields covered.

This patch fixes a cluster coherency problem that occurs when one

tries to write to the same file. When the inode's glock is demoted,
the inode wasn't synced to the media properly because the gl_object
wasn't set. Later, the flush daemon noticed the uncommitted data
and tried to flush it, only to discover the glock was no longer locked

Just like ext3, this works on the root directory and any directory
with the +T flag set. Also, just like ext3, any subdirectory created
in one of the just mentioned cases will be allocated to a random
resource group (GFS2 equivalent of a block group).

If you are creating a set of directories, each of which will contain a
job running on a different node, then by setting +T on the parent
directory before creating the subdirectories, each will land up in a
different resource group, and thus resource group contention between
nodes will be kept to a minimum.

Rather than using the parent directory's allocation context, this
patch allocated the new inode earlier in the process and then uses
it to contain all the information required. As a result, we can now

With the recently added block reservation code, an additional function
was added to search for free blocks. This had a restriction of only being
able to search for aligned extents of free blocks. As a result the
allocation patterns when reserving blocks were suboptimal when the
existing allocation of blocks for an inode was not aligned to the same
boundary.

This patch resolves that problem by adding the ability for gfs2_rbm_find
to search for extents of a particular minimum size. We can then use
gfs2_rbm_find for both looking for reservations, and also looking for
free blocks on an individual basis when we actually come to do the
allocation later on. As a result we only need a single set of code
to deal with both situations.

The function gfs2_rbm_from_block() is moved up rgrp.c so that it
occurs before all of its callers.

Many thanks are due to Bob for helping track down the final issue in
this patch. That fix to the rb_tree traversal and to not share
block reservations from a dirctory to its children is included here.

The rs_requested field is left over from the original allocation
code, however this should have been a parameter passed to the
various functions from gfs2_inplace_reserve() and not a member of the
reservation structure as the value is not required after the
initial allocation.

This also helps simplify the code since we no longer need to set
the rs_requested to zero. Also the gfs2_inplace_release()
function can also be simplified since the reservation structure
will always be defined when it is called, and the only remaining
task is to unlock the rgrp if required. It can also now be
called unconditionally too, resulting in a further simplification.

This patch lengthens the lifespan of the reservations structure for
inodes. Before, they were allocated and deallocated for every write
operation. With this patch, they are allocated when the first write
occurs, and deallocated when the last process closes the file.
It's more efficient to do it this way because it saves GFS2 a lot of
unnecessary allocates and frees. It also gives us more flexibility
for the future: (1) we can now fold the qadata structure back into
the structure and save those alloc/frees, (2) we can use this for

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 makes mount take slightly longer, but at the same time, the first
write to the filesystem will be faster too. It also means that if there
is a problem in the resource index, then we can refuse to mount rather
than having to try and report that when the first write occurs.

In addition, to avoid recursive locking, we hvae to take account of
instances when the rindex glock may already be held when we are
trying to update the rbtree of resource groups.
