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().

* GFS2 has been using i_cache array to store its indirect meta blocks.
Its flush routine doesn't correctly clean up all the entries. The
problem would show while multiple nodes do simultaneous writes to the
same file. Upon glock exclusive lock transfer, if the file is a sparse
file with large file size where the indirect meta blocks span multiple
array entries with "zero" entries in between. The flush routine
prematurely stops the flushing that leaves old (stale) entries around.
This leads to several nasty issues, including data corruption.
* Fix gfs2_get_block_noalloc checking to correctly return EIO upon
unmapped buffer.

This patch cleans up the code for writing journaled data into the log.
It also removes the need to allocate a small "tag" structure for each
block written into the log. Instead we just keep count of the outstanding
I/O so that we can be sure that its all been written at the correct time.
Another result of this patch is that a number of ll_rw_block() calls
have become submit_bh() calls, closing some races at the same time.

The problem boiled down to a race between the gdlm_init_threads()
function initializing thread1 and its setting of blist = 1.
Essentially, "if (current == ls->thread1)" was checked by the thread
before the thread creator set ls->thread1.
Since thread1 is the only thread who is allowed to work on the
blocking queue, and since neither thread thought it was thread1, no one
was working on the queue. So everything just sat.
This patch reuses the ls->async_lock spin_lock to fix the race,
and it fixes the problem. I've done more than 2000 iterations of the
loop that was recreating the failure and it seems to work.

This patch adds a new flag to the gfs2_holder structure GL_FLOCK.
It is set on holders of glocks representing flocks. This flag is
checked in add_to_queue() and a process is permitted to queue more
than one holder onto a glock if it is set. This solves the issue
of a process not being able to do multiple flocks on the same file.
Through a single descriptor, a process can now promote and demote
flocks. Through multiple descriptors a process can now queue
multiple flocks on the same file. There's still the problem of
a process deadlocking itself (because gfs2 blocking locks are not
interruptible) by queueing incompatible deadlock.

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.

The old revoke structure was allocated using kalloc/kfree but
there is a slab cache for gfs2_bufdata, so we should use that
now that the structures have been converted.
This is part two of the patch series to merge the revoke
and gfs2_bufdata structures.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
Both the revoke structure and the bufdata structure are quite similar.
They are basically small tags which are put on lists. In addition to
which the revoke structure is always allocated when there is a bufdata
structure which is (or can be) freed. As such it should be possible to
reduce the number of frees and allocations by using the same structure
for both purposes.
This patch is the first step along that path. It replaces existing uses
of the revoke structure with the bufdata structure.

The following patch removes the ordered write processing from
databuf_lo_before_commit() and moves it to log.c. This has the effect of
greatly simplyfying databuf_lo_before_commit() and well as potentially
making the ordered write code more efficient.
As a side effect of this, its now possible to remove ordered buffers
from the ordered buffer list at any time, so we now make use of this in
invalidatepage and releasepage to ensure timely release of these
buffers.

gfs2_pin and gfs2_unpin are only used in lops.c, despite being
defined in meta_io.c, so this patch moves them into lops.c and
makes them static. At the same time, its possible to clean up
the locking in the buf and databuf _lo_add() functions so that
we only need to grab the spinlock once. Also we have to move
lock_buffer() around the _lo_add() functions since we can't
do that in gfs2_pin() any more since we hold the spinlock
for the duration of that function.
As a result, the code shrinks by 12 lines and we do far fewer
operations when adding buffers to the log. It also makes the
code somewhat easier to read & understand.

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.

When a lot of IO, with some distributed mmap IO, is run on a GFS2 filesystem in
a cluster, it will deadlock. The reason is that do_no_page() will repeatedly
call gfs2_sharewrite_nopage(), because each node keeps giving up the glock
too early, and is forced to call unmap_mapping_range(). This bumps the
mapping->truncate_count sequence count, forcing do_no_page() to retry. This
patch institutes a minimum glock hold time a tenth a second. This insures
that even in heavy contention cases, the node has enough time to get some
useful work done before it gives up the glock.
A second issue is that when gfs2_glock_dq() is called from within a page fault
to demote a lock, and the associated page needs to be written out, it will
try to acqire a lock on it, but it has already been locked at a higher level.
This patch puts makes gfs2_glock_dq() use the work queue as well, to avoid this
issue. This is the same patch as Steve Whitehouse originally proposed to fix
this issue, execpt that gfs2_glock_dq() now grabs a reference to the glock
before it queues up the work on it.

When you try to mount gfs2 with -o garbage, the mount fails and the gfs2
superblock is deallocated and becomes NULL. The vfs comes around later
on and calls gfs2_kill_sb. At this point the hidden gfs2 superblock
pointer (sb->s_fs_info) is NULL and dereferencing it through
gfs2_meta_syncfs causes the panic. (the other function call to
gfs2_delete_debugfs_file() succeeds because this function already checks
for a NULL pointer)

This is for bugzilla bug #248176: GFS2: invalid metadata block
Patches 1 thru 3 were accepted upstream, but there were problems
with 4 and 5. Those issues have been resolved and now the recovery
tests are passing without errors. This code has gone through
41 * 3 successful gfs2 recovery tests before it hit an
unrelated (openais) problem. I'm continuing to test it.
This is a complete rewrite of patch 5 for bug #248176, written by
Steve Whitehouse. This is referred to in the bugzilla record as
"new 6" and "a different solution".
The problem was that the journal inodes, although protected by
a glock, were not synched with the other nodes because they don't
use the inode glock synch operations (i.e. no "glops" were defined).
Therefore, journal recovery on a journal-recovering node were causing
the blocks to get out of sync with the node that was actually trying
to use that journal as it comes back up from a reboot.
There are two possible solutions: (1) To make the journals use the
normal inode glock sync operations, or (2) To make the journal
operations take effect immediately (i.e. no caching). Although
option 1 works, it turns out to be a lot more code. Steve opted
for option 2, which is much simpler and therefore less prone to
regression errors.

Part of the problem was that inodes were being recycled
before their buffers were flushed to the journal logs.
Another problem was that the clone bitmaps were being
searched for deleted inodes to recycle, but only the
"real" bitmaps should be searched for that purpose.
