Christoph Hellwig 925c86a19b fs: add CONFIG_BUFFER_HEAD
Add a new config option that controls building the buffer_head code, and
select it from all file systems and stacking drivers that need it.

For the block device nodes and alternative iomap based buffered I/O path
is provided when buffer_head support is not enabled, and iomap needs a
a small tweak to define the IOMAP_F_BUFFER_HEAD flag to 0 to not call
into the buffer_head code when it doesn't exist.

Otherwise this is just Kconfig and ifdef changes.

A cluster filesystem.
Allows a cluster of computers to simultaneously use a block device
that is shared between them (with FC, iSCSI, NBD, etc...). GFS reads
and writes to the block device like a local filesystem, but also uses
a lock module to allow the computers coordinate their I/O so
filesystem consistency is maintained. One of the nifty features of
GFS is perfect consistency -- changes made to the filesystem on one
machine show up immediately on all other machines in the cluster.
To use the GFS2 filesystem in a cluster, you will need to enable
the locking module below. Documentation and utilities for GFS2 can
be found here: http://sources.redhat.com/cluster
The "nolock" lock module is now built in to GFS2 by default. If
you want to use the DLM, be sure to enable IPv4/6 networking.

Multiple node locking module for GFS2
Most users of GFS2 will require this. It provides the locking
interface between GFS2 and the DLM, which is required to use GFS2
in a cluster environment.
