GFS2: reserve more blocks for transactions

Some of the functions in GFS2 were not reserving space in the transaction for
the resource group header and the resource groups bitblocks that get added
when you do allocation. GFS2 now makes sure to reserve space for the
resource group header and either all the bitblocks in the resource group, or
one for each block that it may allocate, whichever is smaller using the new
gfs2_rg_blocks() inline function.

GFS2: fallocate support

This patch adds support for fallocate to gfs2. Since the gfs2 does not support
uninitialized data blocks, it must write out zeros to all the blocks. However,
since it does not need to lock any pages to read from, gfs2 can write out the
zero blocks much more efficiently. On a moderately full filesystem, fallocate
works around 5 times faster on average. The fallocate call also allows gfs2 to
add blocks to the file without changing the filesize, which will make it
possible for gfs2 to preallocate space for the rindex file, so that gfs2 can
grow a completely full filesystem.

check ATTR_SIZE contraints in inode_change_ok

Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in ->setattr by adding
those checks to inode_change_ok. Also clean up and document inode_change_ok
to make this obvious.

As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and
simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error. This
simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize
almost everywhere. Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark
ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious.

Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an
audit for its removal anyway.

Note: setattr code in ecryptfs doesn't call inode_change_ok at all and
needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.

GFS2: Clean up stuffed file copying

If the inode size was corrupt for stuffed files, it was possible
for the copying of data to overrun the block and/or page. This patch
checks for that condition so that this is no longer possible.

This is also preparation for the new truncate sequence patch which
requires the ability to have stuffed files with larger sizes than

only the initial part of the file may be non-zero.

GFS2: Metadata address space clean up

Since the start of GFS2, an "extra" inode has been used to store
the metadata belonging to each inode. The only reason for using
this inode was to have an extra address space, the other fields
were unused. This means that the memory usage was rather inefficient.

The reason for keeping each inode's metadata in a separate address
space is that when glocks are requested on remote nodes, we need to
be able to efficiently locate the data and metadata which relating
to that glock (inode) in order to sync or sync and invalidate it
(depending on the remotely requested lock mode).

This patch adds a new type of glock, which has in addition to
its normal fields, has an address space. This applies to all
inode and rgrp glocks (but to no other glock types which remain
as before). As a result, we no longer need to have the second
inode.

This results in three major improvements:
1. A saving of approx 25% of memory used in caching inodes
2. A removal of the circular dependency between inodes and glocks
3. No confusion between "normal" and "metadata" inodes in super.c

Although the first of these is the more immediately apparent, the
second is just as important as it now enables a number of clean
ups at umount time. Those will be the subject of future patches.

GFS2: drop rindex glock to refresh rindex list

When a gfs2 filesystem is grown, it needs to rebuild the rindex list to be able
to use the new space. gfs2 does this when the rindex is marked not uptodate,
which happens when the rindex glock is dropped. However, on a single node
setup, there is never any reason to drop the rindex glock, so gfs2 never
invalidates the the rindex. This patch makes gfs2 automatically drop the
rindex glock after filesystem grows, so it can refresh the rindex list.

I chose the set of migration aware file systems for this

But in general it should be safe for all file systems
on the data area that support read/write and truncate.

Caveat: the hardware error handler does not take i_mutex
for now before calling the truncate function. Is that ok?

GFS2: keep statfs info in sync on grows

GFS2 wasn't syncing its statfs info on grows. This causes a problem
when you grow the filesystem on multiple nodes. GFS2 would calculate
the new space based on the resource groups (which are always current),
and then assume that the filesystem had grown the from the existing
statfs size. If you grew the filesystem on two different nodes in a
short time, the second node wouldn't see the statfs size change from the
first node, and would assume that it was grown by a larger amount than
it was. When all these changes were synced out, the total fileystem
size would be incorrect (the first grow would be counted twice).

This patch syncs makes GFS2 read in the statfs changes from disk before
a grow, and write them out after the grow, while the master statfs inode
is locked.
