7a9f53b3c1 [GFS2] Alternate gfs2_iget to avoid looking up inodes being freed
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().

e9bd2b3baf [GFS2] fix inode meta data corruption
Fix a nasty inode meta data corruption issue by keeping the buffer head in
icache array. This buffer needs to stay in memory until journal flush occurs
Otherwise, gfs2_meta_inode_buffer could do a disk read before the inode hits
disk. It ends up with meta data corruptions. The buffer will be released as
part of the existing journal flush logic.

35dcc52e3a [GFS2] Remove i_mode passing from NFS File Handle
GFS2 has been passing i_mode within NFS File Handle. Other than the
wrong assumption that there is always room for this extra 16 bit value,
the current gfs2_get_dentry doesn't really need the i_mode to work
correctly. Note that GFS2 NFS code does go thru the same lookup code
path as direct file access route (where the mode is obtained from name
lookup) but gfs2_get_dentry() is coded for different purpose. It is not
used during lookup time. It is part of the file access procedure call.
When the call is invoked, if on-disk inode is not in-memory, it has to
be read-in. This makes i_mode passing a useless overhead.

bb9bcf0616 [GFS2] Obtaining no_formal_ino from directory entry
GFS2 lookup code doesn't ask for inode shared glock. This implies during
in-memory inode creation for existing file, GFS2 will not disk-read in
the inode contents. This leaves no_formal_ino un-initialized during
lookup time. The un-initialized no_formal_ino is subsequently encoded
into file handle. Clients will get ESTALE error whenever it tries to
access these files.

d93cfa9884 [GFS2] Fix deallocation issues
There were two issues during deallocation of unlinked inodes. The
first was relating to the use of a "try" lock which in the case of
the inode lock wasn't trying hard enough to deallocate in all
circumstances (now changed to a normal glock) and in the case of
the iopen lock didn't wait for the demotion of the shared lock before
attempting to get the exclusive lock, and thereby sometimes (timing dependent)
not completing the deallocation when it should have done.

The second issue related to the lack of a way to invalidate dcache entries
on remote nodes (now fixed by this patch) which meant that unlinks were
taking a long time to return disk space to the fs. By adding some code to
invalidate the dcache entries across the cluster for unlinked inodes, that
is now fixed.

This patch was written jointly by Abhijith Das and Steven Whitehouse.

c8cdf47937 [GFS2] Recovery for lost unlinked inodes
Under certain circumstances its possible (though rather unlikely) that
inodes which were unlinked by one node while still open on another might
get "lost" in the sense that they don't get deallocated if the node
which held the inode open crashed before it was unlinked.

This patch adds the recovery code which allows automatic deallocation of
the inode if its found during block allocation (the sensible time to
look for such inodes since we are scanning the rgrp's bitmaps anyway at
this time, so it adds no overhead to do this).

Since the inode will have had its i_nlink set to zero, all we need to
trigger recovery is a lookup and an iput(), and the normal deallocation
code takes care of the rest.

This fixes a bug in the ordering of operations in the error path of
createi. Its not valid to do an iput() when holding the inode's glock

4bd91ba181 [GFS2] Add nanosecond timestamp feature
This adds a nanosecond timestamp feature to the GFS2 filesystem. Due
to the way that the on-disk format works, older filesystems will just
appear to have this field set to zero. When mounted by an older version
of GFS2, the filesystem will simply ignore the extra fields so that
it will again appear to have whole second resolution, so that its
trivially backward compatible.

bb8d8a6f54 [GFS2] Fix sign problem in quota/statfs and cleanup _host structures
This patch fixes some sign issues which were accidentally introduced
into the quota & statfs code during the endianess annotation process.
Also included is a general clean up which moves all of the _host
structures out of gfs2_ondisk.h (where they should not have been to
start with) and into the places where they are actually used (often only
one place). Also those _host structures which are not required any more
are removed entirely (which is the eventual plan for all of them).

The conversion routines from ondisk.c are also moved into the places
where they are actually used, which for almost every one, was just one
single place, so all those are now static functions. This also cleans up
the end of gfs2_ondisk.h which no longer needs the #ifdef __KERNEL__.

The net result is a reduction of about 100 lines of code, many functions
now marked static plus the bug fixes as mentioned above. For good
measure I ran the code through sparse after making these changes to
check that there are no warnings generated.

This fixes Red Hat bz #239686

dbb7cae2a3 [GFS2] Clean up inode number handling
This patch cleans up the inode number handling code. The main difference
is that instead of looking up the inodes using a struct gfs2_inum_host
we now use just the no_addr member of this structure. The tests relating
to no_formal_ino can then be done by the calling code. This has
advantages in that we want to do different things in different code
paths if the no_formal_ino doesn't match. In the NFS patch we want to
return -ESTALE, but in the ->lookup() path, its a bug in the fs if the
no_formal_ino doesn't match and thus we can withdraw in this case.

In order to later fix bz #201012, we need to be able to look up an inode
without knowing no_formal_ino, as the only information that is known to
us is the on-disk location of the inode in question.

This patch will also help us to fix bz #236099 at a later date by
cleaning up a lot of the code in that area.

There are no user visible changes as a result of this patch and there
are no changes to the on-disk format either.

ddee76089c [GFS2] Fix unlink deadlocks
Move the glock acquisition to outside of the transactions.

Lock odering must be preserved in order to prevent ABBA
deadlocks. The current gfs2_change_nlink code would tries
to grab the glock after having started a transaction and thus is holding
the log lock. This is inconsistent with other code paths in
gfs that grab the resource group glock prior to staring
a tranactions.

One problem with this fix is that the resource group
lock is always grabbed now even if the inode still has
ref count and can not be marked for unlink.

ddfe062783 [GFS2] use CURRENT_TIME_SEC instead of get_seconds in gfs2
I was looking something else up and came across this...

I don't honestly have a good reason to change it other than to make it
like every other Linux filesystem in this regard.  ;-)  It doesn't
functionally change anything, but makes some lines shorter. :)

I'm also curious; why does gfs2 have 64-bits of on-disk timestamps, but
not in timespec_t format, and only stores second resolutions?  Seems like
you're halfway to sub-second resolutions already.

I suppose if that gets implemented then all of the below should
instead be CURRENT_TIME not CURRENT_TIME_SEC.

5509826f1e [GFS2] Fix change nlink deadlock
Bugzilla 215088

Fix deadlock in gfs2_change_nlink() while installing RHEL5 into GFS2
partition. The gfs2_rename() apparently needs block allocation for the
new name (into the directory) where it requires rg locks. At the same
time, while updating the nlink count for the replaced file,
gfs2_change_nlink() tries to return the inode meta-data back to resource
group where it needs rg locks too. Our logic doesn't allow process to
acquire these locks recursively by the same process  (RHEL installer)
that results a BUG call. This only happens within rename code path and
only if the destination file exists before the rename operation.

825f9075d7 [GFS2] inode-diet: Eliminate i_blksize from the inode structure
This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode.  Filesystems that want
to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.

Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)
values for i_blksize.

bba9dfd835 [GFS2] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_private (gfs)
The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86.  (It would be more on an x86_64 system).  This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).

This patch:

The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer.  Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer.  This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

7d308590ae [GFS2] Export lm_interface to kernel headers
lm_interface.h has a few out of the tree clients such as GFS1
and userland tools.

Right now, these clients keeps a copy of the file in their build tree
that can go out of sync.

Move lm_interface.h to include/linux, export it to userland and
clean up fs/gfs2 to use the new location.
