This is a bit better than the previous version of gfs2_fsync()
although it would be better still if we were able to call a
function which only wrote the inode & metadata. Its no big deal
though that this will potentially write the data as well since
the VFS has already done that before calling gfs2_fsync(). I've
also added a comment to explain whats going on here.

As per comments from Andrew Morton and Jan Engelhardt, this fixes the
indent and removes the "static" from a variable declaration since its
not needed in this case (now allocated on the stack of the function
in question).

The gfs2_fsync() function was doing a journal flush on each
and every call. While this is correct, its also a lot of
overhead. This patch means that on fdatasync flushes we
rely on the VFS to flush the data for us and we don't do
a journal flush unless we really need to.
We have to do a journal flush for stuffed files though because
they have the data and the inode metadata in the same block.
Journaled files also need a journal flush too of course.

While mounting the gfs2 filesystem,our test team had a problem and we
got this error message.
=======================================================
GFS2: fsid=: Trying to join cluster "lock_nolock", "dasde1"
GFS2: fsid=dasde1.0: Joined cluster. Now mounting FS...
GFS2: not a GFS2 filesystem
GFS2: fsid=dasde1.0: can't read superblock: -22
==========================================================================
On debugging further we found that problem is while reading the super
block(gfs2_read_super) and comparing the magic number in it.
When I replace the submit_bio() call(present in gfs2_read_super) with
the sb_getblk() and ll_rw_block(), mount operation succeded.
On further analysis we found that before calling submit_bio(),
bio->bi_sector was set to "sector" variable. This "sector" variable has
the same value of bh->b_blocknr(block number). Hence there is a need to
multiply this valuwith (blocksize >> 9)(9 because,sector size
2^9,samething happens in ll_rw_block also, before calling submit_bio()).
So I have developed the patch which solves this problem. Please let me
know your comments.

The readdirplus NFS operation can result in gfs2_getattr being

Since gfs2_permission may be called either from the VFS (in which case
we need to obtain a shared glock) or from GFS2 (in which case we already
have a glock) we need to test to see whether or not a lock is required.
The original test was buggy due to a potential race. This one should
be safe.

This fixes a bug which resulted in poor performance due to flushing
the journal too often. The code path in question was via the inode_go_sync()
function in glops.c. The solution is not to flush the journal immediately
when inodes are ejected from memory, but batch up the work for glockd to
deal with later on. This means that glocks may now live on beyond the end of
the lifetime of their inodes (but not very much longer in the normal case).
Also fixed in this patch is a bug (which was hidden by the bug mentioned above) in
calculation of the number of free journal blocks.
The gfs2_logd process has been altered to be more responsive to the journal
filling up. We now wake it up when the number of uncommitted journal blocks
has reached the threshold level rather than trying to flush directly at the
end of each transaction. This again means doing fewer, but larger, log
flushes in general.

The go_sync callback took two flags, but one of them was set on every
call, so this patch removes once of the flags and makes the previously
conditional operations (on this flag), unconditional.
The go_inval callback took three flags, each of which was set on every
call to it. This patch removes the flags and makes the operations
unconditional, which makes the logic rather more obvious.
Two now unused flags are also removed from incore.h.

When deleting directory entries, we set the inum.no_addr to zero
in a dirent when its the first dirent in a block and thus cannot
be merged into the previous dirent as is the usual case. In gfs1,
inum.no_formal_ino was used instead.
This patch changes gfs2 to set both inum.no_addr and inum.no_formal_ino
to zero. It also changes the test from just looking at inum.no_addr to
look at both inum.no_addr and inum.no_formal_ino and a sentinel is
now considered to be a dirent in which _either_ (or both) of them
is set to zero.

This function wasn't really doing the right thing. There was no need
to update the inode size at this point and the updating of the
i_blocks field has now been moved to the places where di_blocks is
updated. A result of this patch and some those preceeding it is that
unlocking a glock is now a much more efficient process, since there
is no longer any requirement to copy data from the gfs2 inode into
the vfs inode at this point.

We were setting the inode flags from GFS2's flags far too often, even when they
couldn't possibly have changed. This patch reduces the amount of flag
setting going on so that we do it only when the inode is read in or
when the flags have changed. The create case is covered by the "when
the inode is read in" case.

during truncate in gfs2_readpage and gfs2_prepare_write. The gfs2_readpages

The meta_header for an ondisk rgrp never changes, so there is no point
copying it in and back out to disk. Also there is no reason to keep
a copy for each rgrp in memory.
The code already checks to ensure that the header is correct before
it calls the routine to copy the data in, so that we don't even need
to check whether its correct on disk in the functions in ondisk.c
