  GFS2: constify attribute_group structures. (2017-07-05 07:21:14 -0500)

----------------------------------------------------------------
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.
   The first patch eliminates the flush_delayed_work, which can block.
2. Andreas's second patch protects setting of gl_object for rgrps with
   a spin_lock to prevent proven races.
3. His third patch introduces a centralized mechanism for queueing glock
   work with better reference counting, to prevent more races.
4. His fourth patch retains a reference to inode glocks when an error
   occurs while creating an inode. This keeps the subsequent evict from
   needing to reacquire the glock, which might call into DLM and block
   in low memory conditions.
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.
