Add online resize in tunefs.ocfs2 so that user can increase the volume when it is mounted.

Hi all, this patch set are the backport of inode alloc improvement from mainline to ocfs2-1.4. the patches are almost the same excpet one thing: Joel has added JBD2 support to ocfs2, so he has added "max_blocks" to alloc_context and add a new function "ocfs2_reserve_clusters_with_limit". We don't have that in ocfs2-1.4. So there are some great difference in patch 2.

In ocfs2, the inode block search looks for the "emptiest" inode group to allocate from. So if an inode alloc file has many equally (or almost equally) empty groups, new inodes will tend to get spread out amongst them, which in turn can put them all over the disk. This is undesirable because directory operations on conceptually "nearby" inodes force a large number of seeks. So

The new code is dedicated to calculate free inodes number of all inode_allocs, then return the info to userpace in terms of an array. Specially, flag 'OCFS2_INFO_FL_NON_COHERENT', manipulated by '--cluster-coherent' from userspace, is now going to be involved. setting the flag on means no cluster coherency considered, usually, userspace tools choose none-coherency strategy by

ocfs2 currently uses the Journaled Block Device (JBD) for its journaling. This is a very stable and tested codebase. However, JBD is limited by architecture to 32bit block numbers. This means an ocfs2 filesystem is limited to 2^32 blocks. With a 4K blocksize, that's 16TB. People want larger volumes. Fortunately, there is now JBD2. JBD2 adds 64bit block number support and some other

Please review the list of patches being applied to the ocfs2 1.4 tree. All patches list the mainline commit hash. Thanks Sunil

Changelog from V1 to V2: 1. Modify some codes according to Mark's advice. 2. Attach some test statistics in the commit log of patch 3 and in this e-mail also. See below. Hi all, In ocfs2, when we create a fresh file system and create inodes in it, they are contiguous and good for readdir+stat. While if we delete all the inodes and created again, the new inodes will get spread out and that

Hi, The following patches comprise the bulk of Ocfs2 updates for the 2.6.30 merge window. Aside from larger, more involved fixes, we're adding the following features, which I will describe in the order their patches are mailed. Sunil's exported some more state to our debugfs files, and consolidated some other aspects of our debugfs infrastructure. This will further aid us in debugging
