When gfs2 releases the glock of an inode, it must invalidate all
information cached for that inode, including the page cache and acls. Use
the new security_inode_invalidate_secctx hook to also invalidate security
labels in that case. These items will be reread from disk when needed
after reacquir
This patch removes variable i_generation from gfs2_inode. In its
place, we use inode->i_generation which is pretty much the same thing,
in 32-bits. The loss of 32 bits should not be a problem.

Before this patch, multi-block reservation structures were allocated
from a special slab. This patch folds the structure into the gfs2_inode
structure. The disadvantage is that the gfs2_inode needs more memory,
even when a file is opened read-only. The advantages are: (a) we don't
need the special
This patch basically reverts the majority of patch 5407e24.
That patch eliminated the gfs2_qadata structure in favor of just
using the reservations structure. The problem with doing that is that
it increases the size of the reservations structure. That is not an
issue until it comes time to fold th
Commit 2b3dcf3 (GFS2: Increase i_writecount during gfs2_setattr_size)
added a bunch of calls to get_write_access() in order to ensure file close
could not delete an inode's multi-block reservation while the function
was running. For example, close was interfering with setattr_size.
The patch worked
This patch makes no functional changes. Its goal is to reduce the
size of the gfs2 inode in memory by rearranging structures and
changing the size of some variables within the structure.
