[PATCH v4] Documentation: gfs2: Consolidate GFS2 docs into its own subdirectory

[Bagas Sanjaya]

Documentation for GFS2 is scattered in three docs that are in
Documentation/filesystems/ directory. As these docs are standing out as
a group, move them into separate gfs2/ subdirectory.

Hi Andreas,

It looks like this patch isn't in 6.18 PR [1]. Should I resend it after
merge window (and for 6.19 instead)?

Thanks.

Ah, I was already wondering what had happened to that patch.

Can we just put this into the next (6.20?) merge window?

Thanks,
Andreas

I have added the patch to branch for-later. There is no need to resend.

Thanks,
