GFS2 uses struct gfs2_rbm to represent a filesystem block number as a bit position within a resource group. This representation is used in the bitmap manipulation code to prevent excessive conversions between block numbers and bit positions, but also in struct gfs2_blkreserv which is part of struct gfs2_inode, to mark the start of a reservation. In the inode, the bit position representation makes less sense: first, the start position is used as a block number about as often as a bit position; second, the bit position representation makes the code unnecessarily complicated and difficult to read. Therefore, change struct gfs2_blkreserv to represent the start of a reservation as a block number instead of a bit position. (This requires keeping track of the resource group in gfs2_blkreserv separately.) With that change, various things can be slightly simplified, and struct gfs2_rbm can be moved to rgrp.c.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
