In fact it is mostly clean up and fixes anyway. So I'm pushing it out now to let everybody see it ahead of time. The only user visible new feature this time is the addition of support for updating quota usage values through the quotactl interface. This addition means that all of GFS2's quota operations will be accessible via the generic quota-tools userland package very shortly. This is a precursor to being able to drop the userland gfs2_quota tool and use the generic quota tools for all GFS2 quota operations at some future date. I'm planning to keep the glock scalability patch (previously posted on cluster-devel) until the following merge window, since that is a fairly large patch, and it should be ready to go into my -nmw tree as the first patch of the new -nmw tree with a bit of luck. Other than that I don't think there is much else noteworthy this time, Steve.
