Bob Peterson a31b4ec539 Revert "gfs2: eliminate tr_num_revoke_rm"
This reverts commit e955537e32.

Before patch e955537e32, tr_num_revoke tracked the number of revokes
added to the transaction, and tr_num_revoke_rm tracked how many
revokes were removed. But since revokes are queued off the sdp
(superblock) pointer, some transactions could remove more revokes
than they added. (e.g. revokes added by a different process).
Commit e955537e32 eliminated transaction variable tr_num_revoke_rm,
but in order to do so, it changed the accounting to always use
tr_num_revoke for its math. Since you can remove more revokes than
you add, tr_num_revoke could now become a negative value.
This negative value broke the assert in function gfs2_trans_end:

	if (gfs2_assert_withdraw(sdp, (nbuf <=3D tr->tr_blocks) &&
			       (tr->tr_num_revoke <=3D tr->tr_revokes)))

One way to fix this is to simply remove the tr_num_revoke clause
from the assert and allow the value to become negative. Andreas
didn't like that idea, so instead, we decided to revert e955537e32.

Bob Peterson 2e9eeaa117 gfs2: eliminate ssize parameter from gfs2_struct2blk
Every caller of function gfs2_struct2blk specified sizeof(u64).

This patch eliminates the unnecessary parameter and replaces the
size calculation with a new superblock variable that is computed
to be the maximum number of block pointers we can fit inside a
log descriptor, as is done for pointers per dinode and indirect
block.

Bob Peterson fe5e7ba11f gfs2: fix glock reference problem in gfs2_trans_remove_revoke
Commit 9287c6452d fixed a situation in which gfs2 could use a glock
after it had been freed. To do that, it temporarily added a new glock
reference by calling gfs2_glock_hold in function gfs2_add_revoke.
However, if the bd element was removed by gfs2_trans_remove_revoke, it
failed to drop the additional reference.

This patch adds logic to gfs2_trans_remove_revoke to properly drop the
additional glock reference.

Bob Peterson e955537e32 gfs2: eliminate tr_num_revoke_rm
For its journal processing, gfs2 kept track of the number of buffers
added and removed on a per-transaction basis. These values are used
to calculate space needed in the journal. But while these calculations
make sense for the number of buffers, they make no sense for revokes.
Revokes are managed in their own list, linked from the superblock.
So it's entirely unnecessary to keep separate per-transaction counts
for revokes added and removed. A single count will do the same job.
Therefore, this patch combines the transaction revokes into a single
count.

Benjamin Marzinski 2e60d7683c GFS2: update freeze code to use freeze/thaw_super on all nodes
The current gfs2 freezing code is considerably more complicated than it
should be because it doesn't use the vfs freezing code on any node except
the one that begins the freeze.  This is because it needs to acquire a
cluster glock before calling the vfs code to prevent a deadlock, and
without the new freeze_super and thaw_super hooks, that was impossible. To
deal with the issue, gfs2 had to do some hacky locking tricks to make sure
that a frozen node couldn't be holding on a lock it needed to do the
unfreeze ioctl.

This patch makes use of the new hooks to simply the gfs2 locking code. Now,
all the nodes in the cluster freeze and thaw in exactly the same way. Every
node in the cluster caches the freeze glock in the shared state.  The new
freeze_super hook allows the freezing node to grab this freeze glock in
the exclusive state without first calling the vfs freeze_super function.
All the nodes in the cluster see this lock change, and call the vfs
freeze_super function. The vfs locking code guarantees that the nodes can't
get stuck holding the glocks necessary to unfreeze the system.  To
unfreeze, the freezing node uses the new thaw_super hook to drop the freeze
glock. Again, all the nodes notice this, reacquire the glock in shared mode
and call the vfs thaw_super function.

Benjamin Marzinski 24972557b1 GFS2: remove transaction glock
GFS2 has a transaction glock, which must be grabbed for every
transaction, whose purpose is to deal with freezing the filesystem.
Aside from this involving a large amount of locking, it is very easy to
make the current fsfreeze code hang on unfreezing.

This patch rewrites how gfs2 handles freezing the filesystem. The
transaction glock is removed. In it's place is a freeze glock, which is
cached (but not held) in a shared state by every node in the cluster
when the filesystem is mounted. This lock only needs to be grabbed on
freezing, and actions which need to be safe from freezing, like
recovery.

When a node wants to freeze the filesystem, it grabs this glock
exclusively.  When the freeze glock state changes on the nodes (either
from shared to unlocked, or shared to exclusive), the filesystem does a
special log flush.  gfs2_log_flush() does all the work for flushing out
the and shutting down the incore log, and then it tries to grab the
freeze glock in a shared state again.  Since the filesystem is stuck in
gfs2_log_flush, no new transaction can start, and nothing can be written
to disk. Unfreezing the filesytem simply involes dropping the freeze
glock, allowing gfs2_log_flush() to grab and then release the shared
lock, so it is cached for next time.

However, in order for the unfreezing ioctl to occur, gfs2 needs to get a
shared lock on the filesystem root directory inode to check permissions.
If that glock has already been grabbed exclusively, fsfreeze will be
unable to get the shared lock and unfreeze the filesystem.

In order to allow the unfreeze, this patch makes gfs2 grab a shared lock
on the filesystem root directory during the freeze, and hold it until it
unfreezes the filesystem.  The functions which need to grab a shared
lock in order to allow the unfreeze ioctl to be issued now use the lock
grabbed by the freeze code instead.

The freeze and unfreeze code take care to make sure that this shared
lock will not be dropped while another process is using it.

This patch looks at all the outstanding blocks in all the transactions
on the log, and moves the completed ones to the ail2 list.  Then it
issues revokes for these blocks.  This will hopefully speed things up

if they are acquired serially.

revoke_lo_before_commit will issue at most one log block's full of these
preemptive revokes. The amount of reserved log space that
gfs2_log_reserve() ignores has been incremented to allow for this extra
block.

This patch also consolidates the common revoke instructions into one

Benjamin Marzinski 16ca9412d8 GFS2: replace gfs2_ail structure with gfs2_trans
In order to allow transactions and log flushes to happen at the same
time, gfs2 needs to move the transaction accounting and active items
list code into the gfs2_trans structure.  As a first step toward this,
this patch removes the gfs2_ail structure, and handles the active items
list in the gfs_trans structure.  This keeps gfs2 from allocating an ail
structure on log flushes, and gives us a struture that can later be used
to store the transaction accounting outside of the gfs2 superblock
structure.

With this patch, at the end of a transaction, gfs2 will add the
gfs2_trans structure to the superblock if there is not one already.
This structure now has the active items fields that were previously in
gfs2_ail.  This is not necessary in the case where the transaction was
simply used to add revokes, since these are never written outside of the
journal, and thus, don't need an active items list.

Also, in order to make sure that the transaction structure is not
removed while it's still in use by gfs2_trans_end, unlocking the
sd_log_flush_lock has to happen slightly later in ending the
transaction.

Steven Whitehouse 4513899092 GFS2: Use ->writepages for ordered writes
Instead of using a list of buffers to write ahead of the journal
flush, this now uses a list of inodes and calls ->writepages
via filemap_fdatawrite() in order to achieve the same thing. For
most use cases this results in a shorter ordered write list,
as well as much larger i/os being issued.

The ordered write list is sorted by inode number before writing
in order to retain the disk block ordering between inodes as
per the previous code.

The previous ordered write code used to conflict in its assumptions
about how to write out the disk blocks with mpage_writepages()
so that with this updated version we can also use mpage_writepages()
for GFS2's ordered write, writepages implementation. So we will
also send larger i/os from writeback too.

Later patches will then pull in the content of gfs2_trans_add_bh()
and its dependent functions in order to clean up the code in this
area.

Benjamin Marzinski 96e5d1d3ad GFS2: Test bufdata with buffer locked and gfs2_log_lock held
In gfs2_trans_add_bh(), gfs2 was testing if a there was a bd attached to the
buffer without having the gfs2_log_lock held. It was then assuming it would
stay attached for the rest of the function. However, without either the log
lock being held of the buffer locked, __gfs2_ail_flush() could detach bd at any
time.  This patch moves the locking before the test.  If there isn't a bd
already attached, gfs2 can safely allocate one and attach it before locking.
There is no way that the newly allocated bd could be on the ail list,
and thus no way for __gfs2_ail_flush() to detach it.

Steven Whitehouse c50b91c4bd GFS2: Remove bd_list_tr
This is another clean up in the logging code. This per-transaction
list was largely unused. Its main function was to ensure that the
number of buffers in a transaction was correct, however that counter
was only used to check the number of buffers in the bd_list_tr, plus
an assert at the end of each transaction. With the assert now changed
to use the calculated buffer counts, we can remove both bd_list_tr and
its associated counter.

This should make the code easier to understand as well as shrinking
a couple of structures.

Bob Peterson 7c9ca62113 GFS2: Use rbtree for resource groups and clean up bitmap buffer ref count scheme
Here is an update of Bob's original rbtree patch which, in addition, also
resolves the rather strange ref counting that was being done relating to
the bitmap blocks.

Originally we had a dual system for journaling resource groups. The metadata
blocks were journaled and also the rgrp itself was added to a list. The reason
for adding the rgrp to the list in the journal was so that the "repolish
clones" code could be run to update the free space, and potentially send any
discard requests when the log was flushed. This was done by comparing the
"cloned" bitmap with what had been written back on disk during the transaction
commit.

Due to this, there was a requirement to hang on to the rgrps' bitmap buffers
until the journal had been flushed. For that reason, there was a rather
complicated set up in the ->go_lock ->go_unlock functions for rgrps involving
both a mutex and a spinlock (the ->sd_rindex_spin) to maintain a reference
count on the buffers.

However, the journal maintains a reference count on the buffers anyway, since
they are being journaled as metadata buffers. So by moving the code which deals
with the post-journal accounting for bitmap blocks to the metadata journaling
code, we can entirely dispense with the rather strange buffer ref counting
scheme and also the requirement to journal the rgrps.

The net result of all this is that the ->sd_rindex_spin is left to do exactly
one job, and that is to look after the rbtree or rgrps.

This patch is designed to be a stepping stone towards using RCU for the rbtree
of resource groups, however the reduction in the number of uses of the
->sd_rindex_spin is likely to have benefits for multi-threaded workloads,
anyway.

The patch retains ->go_lock and ->go_unlock for rgrps, however these maybe also
be removed in future in favour of calling the functions directly where required
in the code. That will allow locking of resource groups without needing to
actually read them in - something that could be useful in speeding up statfs.

In the mean time though it is valid to dereference ->bi_bh only when the rgrp
is locked. This is basically the same rule as before, modulo the references not
being valid until the following journal flush.

Benjamin Marzinski 5e687eac1b GFS2: Various gfs2_logd improvements
This patch contains various tweaks to how log flushes and active item writeback
work. gfs2_logd is now managed by a waitqueue, and gfs2_log_reseve now waits
for gfs2_logd to do the log flushing.  Multiple functions were rewritten to
remove the need to call gfs2_log_lock(). Instead of using one test to see if
gfs2_logd had work to do, there are now seperate tests to check if there
are two many buffers in the incore log or if there are two many items on the
active items list.

This patch is a port of a patch Steve Whitehouse wrote about a year ago, with
some minor changes.  Since gfs2_ail1_start always submits all the active items,
it no longer needs to keep track of the first ai submitted, so this has been
removed. In gfs2_log_reserve(), the order of the calls to
prepare_to_wait_exclusive() and wake_up() when firing off the logd thread has
been switched.  If it called wake_up first there was a small window for a race,
where logd could run and return before gfs2_log_reserve was ready to get woken
up. If gfs2_logd ran, but did not free up enough blocks, gfs2_log_reserve()
would be left waiting for gfs2_logd to eventualy run because it timed out.
Finally, gt_logd_secs, which controls how long to wait before gfs2_logd times
out, and flushes the log, can now be set on mount with ar_commit.

Steven Whitehouse d8348de06f GFS2: Fix deadlock on journal flush
This patch fixes a deadlock when the journal is flushed and there
are dirty inodes other than the one which caused the journal flush.
Originally the journal flushing code was trying to obtain the
transaction glock while running the flush code for an inode glock.
We no longer require the transaction glock at this point in time
since we know that any attempt to get the transaction glock from
another node will result in a journal flush. So if we are flushing
the journal, we can be sure that the transaction lock is still
cached from when the transaction was started.

By inlining a version of gfs2_trans_begin() (minus the bit which
gets the transaction glock) we can avoid the deadlock problems
caused if there is a demote request queued up on the transaction
glock.

In addition I've also moved the umount rwsem so that it covers
the glock workqueue, since it all demotions are done by this
workqueue now. That fixes a bug on umount which I came across
while fixing the original problem.

Steven Whitehouse f057f6cdf6 GFS2: Merge lock_dlm module into GFS2
This is the big patch that I've been working on for some time
now. There are many reasons for wanting to make this change
such as:
 o Reducing overhead by eliminating duplicated fields between structures
 o Simplifcation of the code (reduces the code size by a fair bit)
 o The locking interface is now the DLM interface itself as proposed
   some time ago.
 o Fewer lookups of glocks when processing replies from the DLM
 o Fewer memory allocations/deallocations for each glock
 o Scope to do further optimisations in the future (but this patch is
   more than big enough for now!)

Please note that (a) this patch relates to the lock_dlm module and
not the DLM itself, that is still a separate module; and (b) that
we retain the ability to build GFS2 as a standalone single node
filesystem with out requiring the DLM.

This patch needs a lot of testing, hence my keeping it I restarted
my -git tree after the last merge window. That way, this has the maximum
exposure before its merged. This is (modulo a few minor bug fixes) the
same patch that I've been posting on and off the the last three months
and its passed a number of different tests so far.

Steven Whitehouse 5731be53e3 [GFS2] Update gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke to accept extents
By adding an extra argument to gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke we can now
specify an extent length of blocks to unrevoke. This means that
we only need to make one pass through the list for each extent
rather than each block. Currently the only extent length which
is used is 1, but that will change in the future.

Also gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke is removed from gfs2_alloc_meta
since its the only difference between this and gfs2_alloc_data
which is left. This will allow a future patch to merge these
two functions into one (i.e. one call to allocate both data
and metadata in a single extent in the future).

Steven Whitehouse 2bcd610d2f [GFS2] Don't add glocks to the journal
The only reason for adding glocks to the journal was to keep track
of which locks required a log flush prior to release. We add a
flag to the glock to allow this check to be made in a simpler way.

This reduces the size of a glock (by 12 bytes on i386, 24 on x86_64)
and means that we can avoid extra work during the journal flush.

Steven Whitehouse 1ad38c437f [GFS2] Clean up gfs2_trans_add_revoke()
The following alters gfs2_trans_add_revoke() to take a struct
gfs2_bufdata as an argument. This eliminates the memory allocation which
was previously required by making use of the already existing struct
gfs2_bufdata. It makes some sanity checks to ensure that the
gfs2_bufdata has been removed from all the lists before its recycled as
a revoke structure. This saves one memory allocation and one free per
revoke structure.

Also as a result, and to simplify the locking, since there is no longer
any blocking code in gfs2_trans_add_revoke() we must hold the log lock
whenever this function is called. This reduces the amount of times we
take and unlock the log lock.
