Joel Becker d24fbcda0c ocfs2: Negotiate locking protocol versions.
Currently, when ocfs2 nodes connect via TCP, they advertise their
compatibility level.  If the versions do not match, two nodes cannot speak
to each other and they disconnect. As a result, this provides no forward or
backwards compatibility.

This patch implements a simple protocol negotiation at the dlm level by
introducing a major/minor version number scheme for entities that
communicate.  Specifically, o2dlm has a major/minor version for interaction
with o2dlm on other nodes, and ocfs2 itself has a major/minor version for
interacting with the filesystem on other nodes.

This will allow rolling upgrades of ocfs2 clusters when changes to the
locking or network protocols can be done in a backwards compatible manner.
In those cases, only the minor number is changed and the negotatied protocol
minor is returned from dlm join. In the far less likely event that a
required protocol change makes backwards compatibility impossible, we simply
bump the major number.

Mark Fasheh 3384f3df5e ocfs2: Allow binary names in the DLM
The OCFS2 DLM uses strlen() to determine lock name length, which excludes
the possibility of putting binary values in the name string. Fix this by
requiring that string length be passed in as a parameter.

Kurt Hackel 6714d8e86b [PATCH] OCFS2: The Second Oracle Cluster Filesystem
A distributed lock manager built with the cluster file system use case
in mind. The OCFS2 dlm exposes a VMS style API, though things have
been simplified internally. The only lock levels implemented currently
are NLMODE, PRMODE and EXMODE.
