Two internal files which are read through the gfs2_internal_read() routine were already locked when the routine was called and this do not need locking at the redapages level. This patch introduces a struct file which is used as a sentinal so that readpage will only perform locking in the case that the struct file passed to it is _not_ equal to this sentinal. Since the comments in the generic kernel code indicate that the struct file will never be used for anything other than passing straight through to readpage(), this should be ok.

This patch adds back O_DIRECT support with various caveats attached: 1. Journaled data can be read via O_DIRECT since its now the same on disk format as normal data files. 2. Journaled data writes with O_DIRECT will be failed sliently back to normal writes (should we really do this I wonder or should we return an error instead?) 3. Stuffed files will be failed back to normal buffered I/O 4. All the usual corner cases (write beyond current end of file, write to an unallocated block) will also revert to normal buffered I/O. The I/O path is slightly odd as reads arrive at the page cache layer with the lock for the file already held, but writes arrive unlocked. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

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. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This adds an extra argument to gfs2_trans_add_bh() to indicate whether the bh being added to the transaction is metadata or data. Its currently unused since all existing callers set it to 1 (metadata) but following patches will make use of it. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

We don't need this ioctl, we can use stat() to gain the same information. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
