For example, close was interfering with setattr_size. The patch worked as expected, but there was an unintended consequence: If a GFS2 file is open, you can't do these functions (like chown) or you'll get ETXTBSY (Text file busy). For example, if you're running a program and try to do chown or chattr while it's running, it will fail. This problem is easily fixed by reverting that patch and including the multi-block reservation structure inside the gfs2 inode. The problem is, the gfs2 inode then grows to a much bigger size. This patch set takes some measures to reduce the size of the gfs2 inode and then making the reservations part of the inode. Before the patch set, GFS2 inodes were 880 bytes in length. Adding just the reservations structure bumped it up to 1304, which is not good. With all these patches in place, the size is 1008, which is comparable to ext4 (1048) and xfs (1088). Further savings are possible (and I've prototyped a few) but I don't want to get too extreme here.
