We no longer use semaphores, everything has been converted to
mutex or rwsem, so we don't need to include this header any more.

The original code ordered the blocks allocated in the build_height
routine backwards causing excessive disk seeks during a read of the
metadata. This patch reverses the order to try and reduce disk seeks.
Example: A five level metadata tree, I = Inode, P = Pointers, D = Data
You need to read the blocks in the order:
I P5 P4 P3 P2 P1 D
in order to read a single data block. The new code now orders the blocks
in this way. The old code used to order them as:
I P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 D
requiring two extra seeks on average. Note that for files which are
grown by gradual extension rather than by truncate or by llseek/write
at a large offset, this doesn't apply. In the case of writing to a
file linearly, this routine will only be called upon to extend the
height of the tree by one block at a time, so the ordering is
determined by when its called rather than by the internals of the
routine itself. Optimising that part of the ordering is a much
harder problem.

This adds readpages support (and also corrects a small bug in
the readpage error path at the same time). Hopefully this will
improve performance by allowing GFS to submit larger lumps of
I/O at a time.
In order to simplify the setting of BH_Boundary, it currently gets
set when we hit the end of a indirect pointer block. There is
always a boundary at this point with the current allocation code.
It doesn't get all the boundaries right though, so there is still
room for improvement in this.
See comments in fs/gfs2/ops_address.c for further information about
readpages with GFS2.

This patch contains the following possible cleanups:
- make needlessly global code static
- #if 0 unused functions
- remove the following global function that was both unused and
unimplemented:
- super.c: gfs2_do_upgrade()

1. Comment whitespace fix
2. Removed unused header files from dir.c
3. Split the gfs2_dir_get_buffer() function into two functions

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On the logging side, a hand created mutex has been replaced by a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.

As suggested by Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>.
The DIV_RU macro is renamed DIV_ROUND_UP and and moved to kernel.h
The other macros are gone from gfs2.h as (although not requested
by Pekka Enberg) are a number of included header file which are now
included individually. The inode number comparison function is
now an inline function.
The DT2IF and IF2DT may be addressed in a future patch.

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.

Update the function in GFS2 which deals with truncation of
partial blocks. Some of the code is "borrowed" from ext3
since it appears to give a good model of how to do this
operation. The function is renamed gfs2_block_truncate_page
accordingly.

For some reason a function pointer was being passed through
the truncate code which only ever took one value. This removes
the function pointer and replaces it with a single call to
the function in question.

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.
