Split off part of dquot_quota_sync() which writes dquots into a quota file
to a separate function. In the next patch we will use the function from
filesystems and we do not want to abuse ->quota_sync quotactl callback more

David Teigland e0c2a9aa1e GFS2: dlm based recovery coordination
This new method of managing recovery is an alternative to
the previous approach of using the userland gfs_controld.

- use dlm slot numbers to assign journal id's
- use dlm recovery callbacks to initiate journal recovery
- use a dlm lock to determine the first node to mount fs
- use a dlm lock to track journals that need recovery

Steven Whitehouse 3942ae5319 GFS2: Fix race during filesystem mount
There is a potential race during filesystem mounting which has recently
been reported. It occurs when the userland gfs_controld is able to
process requests fast enough that it tries to use the sysfs interface
before the lock module is properly initialised. This is a pretty
unusual case as normally the lock module initialisation is very quick
compared with gfs_controld.

This patch adds an interruptible completion which is used to ensure that
userland will wait for the initialisation of the lock module to
complete.

There are other potential solutions to this problem, but this is the
quickest at this stage and has been tested both with and without
mount.gfs2 present in the system.

Steven Whitehouse feb47ca931 GFS2: Improve journal allocation via sysfs
Recently a feature was added to GFS2 to allow journal id allocation
via sysfs. This patch builds upon that so that a negative journal id
will be treated as an error code to be passed back as the return code
from mount. This allows termination of the mount process if there is
a failure.

Also, the process has been updated so that the kernel will wait
for a journal id, even in the "spectator" case. This is required
in order to avoid mounting a filesystem in case there is an error
while joining the cluster. In the spectator case, 0 is written into
the file to indicate that all is well, and that mount should continue.

Steven Whitehouse ba6e93645f GFS2: Wait for journal id on mount if not specified on mount command line
This patch implements a wait for the journal id in the case that it has
not been specified on the command line. This is to allow the future
removal of the mount.gfs2 helper. The journal id would instead be
directly communicated by gfs_controld to the file system. Here is a
comparison of the two systems:

Current:
1. mount calls mount.gfs2
2. mount.gfs2 connects to gfs_controld to retrieve the journal id
3. mount.gfs2 adds the journal id to the mount command line and calls
the mount system call
4. gfs_controld receives the status of the mount request via a uevent

Proposed:
1. mount calls the mount system call (no mount.gfs2 helper)
2. gfs_controld receives a uevent for a gfs2 fs which it doesn't know
about already
3. gfs_controld assigns a journal id to it via sysfs
4. the mount system call then completes as normal (sending a uevent
according to status)

The advantage of the proposed system is that it is completely backward
compatible with the current system both at the kernel and at the
userland levels. The "first" parameter can also be set the same way,
with the restriction that it must be set before the journal id is
assigned.

In addition, if mount becomes stuck waiting for a reply from
gfs_controld which never arrives, then it is killable and will abort the
mount gracefully.

disabled due to a block device which doesn't support them. You could
already tell this via the mount options in /proc/mounts, but all the
other filesystems also log a message at the same time.

which is a request from our support team.

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.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Steven Whitehouse f6eb53498e GFS2: Remove args subdir from gfs2 sysfs files
Since we can cat /proc/mounts there is no need to have this
subdirectory in the gfs2 sysfs files. In fact this does not
reflect the full range of possible mount argumenmts, where
as /proc/mounts does.

There was only one userland user of this set of sysfs files
and it will function perfectly well without these files
being present (in fact that subcommand of gfs2_tool is
obsolete anyway).

The tune/* subdirectory is also considered mostly obsolete,
but there are a few uses of this until mount arguments can
be added for the last few functions for which there are no
equivalents currently. However the tune/* directory is still
in my sights and new code should avoid using it. Only the gfs2_quota
and gfs2_tool programs are know to use tune/* at the moment.

Steven Whitehouse fe64d517df GFS2: Umount recovery race fix
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.

easiest way to fix the race is to remove the interface.

Steven Whitehouse 48c2b61361 GFS2: Add commit= mount option
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.

Steven Whitehouse 64d576ba23 GFS2: Add a "demote a glock" interface to sysfs
This adds a sysfs file called demote_rq to GFS2's
per filesystem directory. Its possible to use this
file to demote arbitrary glocks in exactly the same
way as if a request had come in from a remote node.

This is intended for testing issues relating to caching
of data under glocks. Despite that, the interface is
generic enough to send requests to any type of glock,
but be careful as its not always safe to send an
arbitrary message to an arbitrary glock. For that reason
and to prevent DoS, this interface is restricted to root
only.

The messages look like this:

<type>:<glocknumber> <mode>

Example:

echo -n "2:13324 EX" >/sys/fs/gfs2/unity:myfs/demote_rq

Which means "please demote inode glock (type 2) number 13324 so that
I can get an EX (exclusive) lock". The lock modes are those which
would normally be sent by a remote node in its callback so if you
want to unlock a glock, you use EX, to demote to shared, use SH or PR
(depending on whether you like GFS2 or DLM lock modes better!).

If the glock doesn't exist, you'll get -ENOENT returned. If the
arguments don't make sense, you'll get -EINVAL returned.

The plan is that this interface will be used in combination with
the blktrace patch which I recently posted for comments although
it is, of course, still useful in its own right.

Steven Whitehouse 02e3cc70ec GFS2: Expose UUID via sysfs/uevent
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.

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 97cc1025b1 GFS2: Kill two daemons with one patch
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.

Steven Whitehouse 37b2c8377c GFS2: Clean up & move gfs2_quotad
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.

Steven Whitehouse 719ee34467 GFS2: high time to take some time over atime
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.

Steven Whitehouse 1bdad60633 [GFS2] Remove remote lock dropping code
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.

Steven Whitehouse da755fdb41 [GFS2] Remove lm.[ch] and distribute content
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.
