gfs2_lock() will skip locks on file which have mode set to 02666. This is a problem in cases where the mode of the file is changed after a process has obtained a lock on the file. Such a lock will be skipped and will result in a BUG in locks_remove_flock().
gfs2_lock() should skip the check for mandatory locks when unlocking a file.

The VFS reads the inode size during generic_file_aio_write() but
with no locking around it. In order to get the expected result
from O_APPEND opens, this patch updated the inode size before
calling generic_file_aio_write()
There is of course still a race here, in that there is nothing to
prevent another node coming in and extending the file in the
mean time. On the other hand, when used with file locking this
will ensure that the expected results are obtained.

* mark struct vm_area_struct::vm_ops as const
* mark vm_ops in AGP code
But leave TTM code alone, something is fishy there with global vm_ops
being used.

This has been on my list for some time. We need to change the way
in which we handle extended attributes to allow faster file creation
times (by reducing the number of transactions required) and the
extended attribute code is the main obstacle to this.
In addition to that, the VFS provides a way to demultiplex the xattr
calls which we ought to be using, rather than rolling our own. This
patch changes the GFS2 code to use that VFS feature and as a result
the code shrinks by a couple of hundred lines or so, and becomes
easier to read.
I'm planning on doing further clean up work in this area, but this
patch is a good start. The cleaned up code also uses the more usual
"xattr" shorthand, I plan to eliminate the use of "eattr" eventually
and in the mean time it serves as a flag as to which bits of the code
have been updated.

GFS2 currently does not support mandatory flocks. An flock() call with
LOCK_MAND triggers unexpected behavior because gfs2 is not checking for
this lock type. This patch corrects that.

This patch renames the ops_*.c files which have no counterpart
without the ops_ prefix in order to shorten the name and make
it more readable. In addition, ops_address.h (which was very
small) is moved into inode.h and inode.h is cleaned up by
adding extern where required.
