So send me a patch or propose something better if you really don't like
it that much... The reason for passing the glock is that the function is
getting metadata blocks, and in gfs2 those are directly associated with
a glock. It makes more sense to pass that directly to the function than
to pass the superblock and address space as separate items,
Steve.
