Bob Peterson c0752aa7e4 GFS2: eliminate log elements and simplify
This patch eliminates the gfs2_log_element data structure and
rolls its two components into the gfs2_bufdata. This makes the code
easier to understand and makes it easier to migrate to a rbtree
to keep the list sorted.

Steven Whitehouse e8c92ed769 GFS2: Clean up log write code path
Prior to this patch, we have two ways of sending i/o to the log.
One of those is used when we need to allocate both the data
to be written itself and also a buffer head to submit it. This
is done via sb_getblk and friends. This is used mostly for writing
log headers.

The other method is used when writing blocks which have some
in-place counterpart. This is the case for all the metadata
blocks which are journalled, and when journaled data is in use,
for unescaped journalled data blocks.

This patch replaces both of those two methods, and about half
a dozen separate i/o submission points with a single i/o
submission function. We also go direct to bio rather than
using buffer heads, since this allows us to build i/o
requests of the maximum size for the block device in
question. It also reduces the memory required for flushing
the log, which can be very useful in low memory situations.

Bob Peterson d0109bfa84 [GFS2] Only do lo_incore_commit once
This patch is performance related.  When we're doing a log flush,
I noticed we were calling buf_lo_incore_commit twice: once for
data bufs and once for metadata bufs.  Since this is the same
function and does the same thing in both cases, there should be
no reason to call it twice.  Since we only need to call it once,
we can also make it faster by removing it from the generic "lops"
code and making it a stand-along static function.

Robert Peterson 2332c4435b [GFS2] assertion failure after writing to journaled file, umount
This patch passes all my nasty tests that were causing the code to
fail under one circumstance or another.  Here is a complete summary
of all changes from today's git tree, in order of appearance:

1. There are now separate variables for metadata buffer accounting.
2. Variable sd_log_num_hdrs is no longer needed, since the header
   accounting is taken care of by the reserve/refund sequence.
3. Fixed a tiny grammatical problem in a comment.
4. Added a new function "calc_reserved" to calculate the reserved
   log space.  This isn't entirely necessary, but it has two benefits:
   First, it simplifies the gfs2_log_refund function greatly.
   Second, it allows for easier debugging because I could sprinkle the
   code with calls to this function to make sure the accounting is
   proper (by adding asserts and printks) at strategic point of the code.
5. In log_pull_tail there apparently was a kludge to fix up the
   accounting based on a "pull" parameter.  The buffer accounting is
   now done properly, so the kludge was removed.
6. File sync operations were making a call to gfs2_log_flush that
   writes another journal header.  Since that header was unplanned
   for (reserved) by the reserve/refund sequence, the free space had
   to be decremented so that when log_pull_tail gets called, the free
   space is be adjusted properly.  (Did I hear you call that a kludge?
   well, maybe, but a lot more justifiable than the one I removed).
7. In the gfs2_log_shutdown code, it optionally syncs the log by
   specifying the PULL parameter to log_write_header.  I'm not sure
   this is necessary anymore.  It just seems to me there could be
   cases where shutdown is called while there are outstanding log
   buffers.
8. In the (data)buf_lo_before_commit functions, I changed some offset
   values from being calculated on the fly to being constants.	That
   simplified some code and we might as well let the compiler do the
   calculation once rather than redoing those cycles at run time.
9. This version has my rewritten databuf_lo_add function.
   This version is much more like its predecessor, buf_lo_add, which
   makes it easier to understand.  Again, this might not be necessary,
   but it seems as if this one works as well as the previous one,
   maybe even better, so I decided to leave it in.
10. In databuf_lo_before_commit, a previous data corruption problem
   was caused by going off the end of the buffer.  The proper solution
   is to have the proper limit in place, rather than stopping earlier.
   (Thus my previous attempt to fix it is wrong).
   If you don't wrap the buffer, you're stopping too early and that
   causes more log buffer accounting problems.
11. In lops.h there are two new (previously mentioned) constants for
   figuring out the data offset for the journal buffers.
12. There are also two new functions, buf_limit and databuf_limit to
   calculate how many entries will fit in the buffer.
13. In function gfs2_meta_wipe, it needs to distinguish between pinned
   metadata buffers and journaled data buffers for proper journal buffer
   accounting.	It can't use the JDATA gfs2_inode flag because it's
   sometimes passed the "real" inode and sometimes the "metadata
   inode" and the inode flags will be random bits in a metadata
   gfs2_inode.	It needs to base its decision on which was passed in.

Steven Whitehouse f2f7ba5237 [GFS2] Make headers compile on their own
As per Jan Engelhardt's comments, this should make all the headers
compile on their own by including and/or declaring structures
early.

Steven Whitehouse e9fc2aa091 [GFS2] Update copyright, tidy up incore.h
As per comments from Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> this
updates the copyright message to say "version" in full rather than
"v.2". Also incore.h has been updated to remove forward structure
declarations which are not required.

The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added
to it. Also quota.c has been updated so that we now store the
lvb data locally in endian independant format to avoid needing
a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess
conversions are done as required at various points and thus the
conversion routines in lvb.[ch] are no longer required. I've
moved the one remaining constant in lvb.h thats used into lm.h
and removed the unused lvb.[ch].

I have not changed the HIF_ constants. That is left to a later patch
which I hope will unify the gh_flags and gh_iflags fields of the
struct gfs2_holder.

Steven Whitehouse b09e593d79 [GFS2] Fix a ref count bug and other clean ups
This fixes a ref count bug that sometimes showed up a umount time
(causing it to hang) but it otherwise mostly harmless. At the same
time there are some clean ups including making the log operations
structures const, moving a memory allocation so that its not done
in the fast path of checking to see if there is an outstanding
transaction related to a particular glock.

Removes the sd_log_wrap varaible which was updated, but never actually
used anywhere. Updates the gfs2 ioctl() to run without the kernel lock
(which it never needed anyway). Removes the "invalidate inodes" loop
from GFS2's put_super routine. This is done in kill super anyway so
we don't need to do it here. The loop was also bogus in that if there
are any inodes "stuck" at this point its a bug and we need to know
about it rather than hide it by hanging forever.
