Hi,
We've collected up a goodly number of patches in the -nmw tree now and we can hold off any further changes until the following merge window, so here is the current tree content.
The major feature this time is the "rbm" conversion in the resource group code. The new struct gfs2_rbm specifies the location of an allocatable block in (resource group, bitmap, offset) form. There are a number of added helper functions, and later patches then rewrite some of the resource group code in terms of this new structure. Not only does this give us a nice code clean up, but it also removes some of the previous restructions where extents could not cross bitmap boundaries, for example.
In addition to that, there are a few bug fixes and clean ups, but the rbm work is by far the majority of this patch set in terms of number of changed lines.
Steve.
