This is the current content of the GFS2 -nmw git tree. Mostly bug fixes, there are some changes relating to block mapping which are working towards cleaning up this code and allowing more efficient block mapping. There is a second part to that work which is not included in this patch set - the plan is that it will be in the next patch set and its currently undergoing testing.
There are a number of clean up patches in the series too. We have been continuing the work of gradually reducing the fields in the various ..._host structures with a view to eventually eliminating them completely. They were introduced as a stop-gap measure to fix the endianess annotation and the fields are now gradually being moved to other structures (or eliminated).
Bob Peterson's new improved "bitfit" algorithm provides a nice speed up when we are allocating blocks as well as cleaning up that area of the code.
Steve.
