The xattr_handler operations are currently all passed a file system
specific flags value which the operations can use to disambiguate between
different handlers; some file systems use that to distinguish the xattr
namespace, for example.  In some oprations, it would be useful to also have
access to the handler prefix.  To allow that, pass a pointer to the handler
to operations instead of the flags value alone.

  upstream merge window.  There are only six patches this time:

   1. A cleanup patch from Andreas to remove the gl_spin #define in favor
      of its value for the sake of clarity.
   2. A fix from Andy Price to mark the inode dirty during fallocate.
   3. A fix from Andy Price to set s_mode on mount failures to prevent a
      stack trace.
   4  A patch from me to prevent a kernel BUG() in trans_add_meta/trans_add_data
      due to uninitialized storage.
   5. A patch from me to protecting our freeing of the in-core directory
      hash table to prevent double-free.
   6. A fix for a page/block rounding problem that resulted in a metadata
      coherency problem when the block size != page size"

  I've got a lot more patches in various stages of review and testing,
  but I'm afraid they'll have to wait until the next merge window.  So
  next time we're likely to have a lot more"

Switch everything to the new and more capable implementation of abs().
Mainly to give the new abs() a bit of a workout.

This patch fixes a bug introduced by commit 7005c3e. That patch
tries to map a vm range for resource groups, but the calculation
breaks down when the block size is less than the page size.

This patch changes function gfs2_dir_hash_inval so it uses the
i_lock spin_lock to protect the in-core hash table, i_hash_cache.
This will prevent double-frees due to a race between gfs2_evict_inode
and inode invalidation.

Commit e66cf161 replaced the gl_spin spinlock in struct gfs2_glock with a
gl_lockref lockref and defined gl_spin as gl_lockref.lock (the spinlock in
gl_lockref).  Remove that define to make the references to gl_lockref.lock more
obvious.

This patch fixes a timing window that causes a segfault.
The problem is that bd can remain NULL throughout the function
and then reference that NULL pointer if the bh-&gt;b_private starts
out NULL, then someone sets it to non-NULL inside the locking.
In that case, bd still needs to be set.
