merge b_intent into b_md
** You will need to upgrade to kernel version 7 **
Notes:
- Most intent operations were removed, in favour of a so-called "RPC mode"
that does a single RPC to the server and returns the rc immediately,
bypassing most of the VFS. IT_OPEN and IT_LOOKUP remain pretty much
unchanged.
- all LDLM resource ID arrays were removed in favour of struct ldlm_res_id
- aggressively cancel local locks on a lock server, such as those that the MDS
requests from its own DLM
- because unlink is now done with an RPC-mode call, there is no local inode
to call delete_inode on, so the OST objects would never get unlinked.
Instead, the MDS notifies the client that it was the last unlink, along
with the lsm, which it uses to free the OST objects
- mds_reint_rename, mds_reint_unlink, and mds_reint_link were rewritten to use
enqueue_ordered_locks and avoid lock-ordering deadlocks
- recursive symlinks were fixed
- fixed NULL deref in DEBUG_REQ
- filter_update_lastobjid no longer calls sync, which is unnecessary when
called inside a transaction (harmful, in fact) and was making extN very,
very sad
