This patch uses sget() to get a reference to the
existing gfs2 sb when mouting the gfs2meta filesystem
(in fact thats just another mount of the gfs2
filesystem with a different root and this interface
is for backward compatibility).

Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.
This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

This patch fixes a race condition where we can receive recovery
requests part way through processing a umount. This was causing
problems since the recovery thread had already gone away.
Looking in more detail at the recovery code, it was really trying
to implement a slight variation on a work queue, and that happens to
align nicely with the recently introduced slow-work subsystem. As a
result I've updated the code to use slow-work, rather than its own home
grown variety of work queue.
When using the wait_on_bit() function, I noticed that the wait function
that was supplied as an argument was appearing in the WCHAN field, so
I've updated the function names in order to produce more meaningful
output.

It has always been possible to adjust the gfs2 log commit
interval, but only from the sysfs interface. This adds a
mount option, commit=<nn>, which will be familar to ext3
users.
The sysfs interface continues to be available as well, although
this might be removed in the future.
Also this patch cleans up some duplicated structures in the GFS2
sysfs code.

This cleans up a number of bits of code mostly based in glops.c.
A couple of simple functions have been merged into the callers
to make it more obvious what is going on, the mysterious raising
of i_writecount around the truncate_inode_pages() call has been
removed. The meta_go_* operations have been renamed rgrp_go_*
since that is the only lock type that they are used with.
The unused argument of gfs2_read_sb has been removed. Also
a bug has been fixed where a check for the rindex inode was
in the wrong callback. More comments are added, and the
debugging code is improved too.

Since we have a UUID, we ought to expose it to the user via sysfs
and uevents. We already have the fs name in both of these places
(a combination of the lock proto and lock table name) so if we add
the UUID as well, we have a full set.
For older filesystems (i.e. those created before mkfs.gfs2 was writing
UUIDs by default) the sysfs file will appear zero length, and no UUID
env var will be added to the uevents.

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.

The following patch fixes an issue relating to remount and argument
parsing. After this fix is applied, remount becomes atomic in that
it either succeeds changing the mount to the new state, or it fails
and leaves it in the old state. Previously it was possible for the
parsing of options to fail part way though and for the fs to be left
in a state where some of the new arguments had been applied, but some
had not.

There was a use-after-free with the GFS2 super block during
umount. This patch moves almost all of the umount code from
->put_super into ->kill_sb, the only bit that cannot be moved
being the glock hash clearing which has to remain as ->put_super
due to umount ordering requirements. As a result its now obvious
that the kfree is the final operation, whereas before it was
hidden in ->put_super.
Also gfs2_jindex_free is then only referenced from a single file
so thats moved and marked static too.

gfs2_lock_fs_check_clean() should not be calling gfs2_jindex_hold()
since it doesn't work like rindex hold, despite the comment. That

can be made static.

This patch removes the two daemons, gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd
and replaces them with a shrinker which is called from the VM.
The net result is that GFS2 responds better when there is memory
pressure, since it shrinks the glock cache at the same rate
as the VFS shrinks the dcache and icache. There are no longer
any time based criteria for shrinking glocks, they are kept
until such time as the VM asks for more memory and then we
demote just as many glocks as required.
There are potential future changes to this code, including the
possibility of sorting the glocks which are to be written back
into inode number order, to get a better I/O ordering. It would
be very useful to have an elevator based workqueue implementation
for this, as that would automatically deal with the read I/O cases
at the same time.
This patch is my answer to Andrew Morton's remark, made during
the initial review of GFS2, asking why GFS2 needs so many kernel
threads, the answer being that it doesn't :-) This patch is a
net loss of about 200 lines of code.

By moving gfs2_recoverd, we can make an additional function static
and it also leaves only (the already scheduled for removal) gfs2_glockd
in daemon.c.
At the same time the declaration of gfs2_quotad is moved to quota.h
to reflect the new location of gfs2_quotad in a previous patch. Also
the recovery.h and quota.h headers are cleaned up.

Following on from the recent clean up of gfs2_quotad, this patch moves
the processing of "truncate in progress" inodes from the glock workqueue
into gfs2_quotad. This fixes a hang due to the "truncate in progress"
processing requiring glocks in order to complete.
It might seem odd to use gfs2_quotad for this particular item, but
we have to use a pre-existing thread since creating a thread implies
a GFP_KERNEL memory allocation which is not allowed from the glock
workqueue context. Of the existing threads, gfs2_logd and gfs2_recoverd
may deadlock if used for this operation. gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd are
both scheduled for removal at some (hopefully not too distant) future
point. That leaves only gfs2_quotad whose workload is generally fairly
light and is easily adapted for this extra task.
Also, as a result of this change, it opens the way for a future patch to
make the reading of the inode's information asynchronous with respect to
the glock workqueue, which is another improvement that has been on the list
for some time now.

This patch is a clean up of gfs2_quotad prior to giving it an
extra job to do in addition to the current portfolio of updating
the quota and statfs information from time to time.
As a result it has been moved into quota.c allowing one of the
functions it calls to be made static. Also the clean up allows
the two existing functions to have separate timeouts and also
to coexist with its future role of dealing with the "truncate in
progress" inode flag.
The (pointless) setting of gfs2_quotad_secs is removed since we
arrange to only wake up quotad when one of the two timers expires.
In addition the struct gfs2_quota_data is moved into a slab cache,
mainly for easier debugging. It should also be possible to use
a shrinker in the future, rather than the current scheme of scanning
the quota data entries from time to time.

Until now, we've used the same scheme as GFS1 for atime. This has failed
since atime is a per vfsmnt flag, not a per fs flag and as such the
"noatime" flag was not getting passed down to the filesystems. This
patch removes all the "special casing" around atime updates and we
simply use the VFS's atime code.
The net result is that GFS2 will now support all the same atime related
mount options of any other filesystem on a per-vfsmnt basis. We do lose
the "lazy atime" updates, but we gain "relatime". We could add lazy
atime to the VFS at a later date, if there is a requirement for that
variant still - I suspect relatime will be enough.
Also we lose about 100 lines of code after this patch has been applied,
and I have a suspicion that it will speed things up a bit, even when
atime is "on". So it seems like a nice clean up as well.
From a user perspective, everything stays the same except the loss of
the per-fs atime quantum tweekable (ought to be per-vfsmnt at the very
least, and to be honest I don't think anybody ever used it) and that a
number of options which were ignored before now work correctly.
Please let me know if you've got any comments. I'm pushing this out
early so that you can all see what my plans are.

The gfs2 superblock pointer is NULL after a failed mount. When control

This patch is intended to fix the issues reported in bz #457798. Instead
of having the metafs as a separate filesystem, it becomes a second root
of gfs2. As a result it will appear as type gfs2 in /proc/mounts, but it
is still possible (for backwards compatibility purposes) to mount it as
type gfs2meta. A new mount flag "meta" is introduced so that its possible
to tell the two cases apart in /proc/mounts.
As a result it becomes possible to mount type gfs2 with -o meta and
get the same result as mounting type gfs2meta. So it is possible to
mount just the metafs on its own. Currently if you do this, its then
impossible to mount the "normal" root of the gfs2 filesystem without
first unmounting the metafs root. I'm not sure if thats a feature or
a bug :-)
Either way, this is a great improvement on the previous scheme and I've
verified that it works ok with bind mounts on both the "normal" root
and the metafs root in various combinations.
There were also a bunch of functions in super.c which didn't belong there,
so this moves them into ops_fstype.c where they can be static. Hopefully
the mount/umount sequence is now more obvious as a result.

This patch removes the "recent list" which is used during allocation
and replaces it with the (already existing) mru list used during
deletion. The "recent list" was not a true mru list leading to a number
of inefficiencies including a "next" function which made scanning the
list an order N^2 operation wrt to the number of list elements.
This should increase allocation performance with large numbers of rgrps.
Its also a useful preparation and cleanup before some further changes
which are planned in this area.

There are several reasons why this is undesirable:
1. It never happens during normal operation anyway
2. If it does happen it causes performance to be very, very poor
3. It isn't likely to solve the original problem (memory shortage
on remote DLM node) it was supposed to solve
4. It uses a bunch of arbitrary constants which are unlikely to be
correct for any particular situation and for which the tuning seems
to be a black art.
5. In an N node cluster, only 1/N of the dropped locked will actually
contribute to solving the problem on average.
So all in all we are better off without it. This also makes merging
the lock_dlm module into GFS2 a bit easier.

This patch merges the lock_nolock module into GFS2 itself. As well as removing
some of the overhead of the module, it also means that its now impossible to

tricky task, and will therefore be a separate patch.

GFS2 wasn't invalidating its cache before it called into the lock manager
with a request that could potentially drop a lock. This was leaving a
window where the lock could be actually be held by another node, but the
file's page cache would still appear valid, causing coherency problems.
This patch moves the cache invalidation to before the lock manager call
when dropping a lock. It also adds the option to the lock_dlm lock
manager to not use conversion mode deadlock avoidance, which, on a
conversion from shared to exclusive, could internally drop the lock, and
then reacquire in. GFS2 now asks lock_dlm to not do this. Instead, GFS2
manually drops the lock and reacquires it.

The functions in lm.c were just wrappers which were mostly
only used in one other file. By moving the functions to
the files where they are being used, they can be marked
static and also this will usually result in them being inlined
since they are often only used from one point in the code.
A couple of really trivial functions have been inlined by hand
into the function which called them as it makes the code clearer
to do that.
We also gain from one fewer function call in the glock lock and
unlock paths.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
<dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

There is a possible deadlock between two processes on the same node, where one
process is deleting an inode, and another process is looking for allocated but
unused inodes to delete in order to create more space.
process A does an iput() on inode X, and it's i_count drops to 0. This causes
iput_final() to be called, which puts an inode into state I_FREEING at
generic_delete_inode(). There no point between when iput_final() is called, and
when I_FREEING is set where GFS2 could acquire any glocks. Once I_FREEING is
set, no other process on that node can successfully look up that inode until
the delete finishes.
process B locks the the resource group for the same inode in get_local_rgrp(),
which is called by gfs2_inplace_reserve_i()
process A tries to lock the resource group for the inode in
gfs2_dinode_dealloc(), but it's already locked by process B
process B waits in find_inode for the inode to have the I_FREEING state cleared.
Deadlock.
This patch solves the problem by adding an alternative to gfs2_iget(),
gfs2_iget_skip(), that simply skips any inodes that are in the I_FREEING
state.o The alternate test function is just like the original one, except that
it fails if the inode is being freed, and sets a skipped flag. The alternate
set function is just like the original, except that it fails if the skipped
flag is set. Only try_rgrp_unlink() calls gfs2_iget_skip() instead of
gfs2_iget().
