    GFS2: Add directory addition info structure · 3c1c0ae1
    Steven Whitehouse authored
    The intent is that this structure will hold the information
    required when adding entries to a directory (linking). To
    start with, it will contain only the number of blocks which
    are required to link the new entry into the directory. The
    current calculation returns either 0 or the maximim number of
    blocks that can ever be requested by such a transaction.
    
    The intent is that in a later patch, we can update the dir
    code to calculate this value more accurately. In addition
    further patches will also add further fields to the new
    structure to increase its utility.
    
    In addition this patch fixes a bug where the link used during
    inode creation was adding requesting too many blocks in
    some cases. This is harmless unless the fs is close to being
    full.
