Hi,

We've got eight GFS2 patches for this merge window:

1. Andy Price submitted a patch to make gfs2_write_full_page a
   static function.
2. Dan Carpenter submitted a patch to fix a ERR_PTR thinko.

I've also got a few patches, three of which fix bugs related to
deleting very large files, which cause GFS2 to run out of
journal space:

3. The first one prevents GFS2 delete operation from requesting too
   much journal space.
4. The second one fixes a problem whereby GFS2 can hang because it
   wasn't taking journal space demand into its calculations.
5. The third one wakes up IO waiters when a flush is done to restart
   processes stuck waiting for journal space to become available.

The other three patches are a performance improvement related to
spin_lock contention between multiple writers:

6. The "tr_touched" variable was switched to a flag to be more atomic
   and eliminate the possibility of some races. 
7. Function meta_lo_add was moved inline with its only caller to make
   the code more readable and efficient.
8. Contention on the gfs2_log_lock spinlock was greatly reduced by
   avoiding the lock altogether in cases where we don't really need
   it: buffers that already appear in the appropriate metadata list
   for the journal. Many thanks to Steve Whitehouse for the ideas and
   principles behind these patches.

Regards,

Bob Peterson

Hi,

We've got eight GFS2 patches for this merge window:

1. Andreas Gruenbacher has four patches related to cleaning up the GFS2
   inode evict process. This is about half of his patches designed to
   fix a long-standing GFS2 hang related to the inode shrinker.
   (Shrinker calls gfs2 evict, evict calls DLM, DLM requires memory
   and blocks on the shrinker.) These 4 patches have been well tested.
   His second set of patches are still being tested, so I plan to hold
   them until the next merge window, after we have more weeks of testing.
5. Arvind Yadav has a patch to add const to attribute_group structures.
6. I have a patch to detect directory entry inconsistencies and withdraw
   the file system if any are found. Better that than silent corruption.
7. I have a patch to remove a vestigial variable from glock structures,
   saving some slab space.
8. I have another patch to remove a vestigial variable from the GFS2
   in-core superblock structure.

Regards,

Bob Peterson
