When run during fsync, a gfs2_log_flush could happen between the
time when gfs2_ail_flush checked the number of blocks to revoke,
and when it actually started the transaction to do those revokes.
This occassionally caused it to need more revokes than it reserved,
causing gfs2 to crash.
Instead of just reserving enough revokes to handle the blocks that
currently need them, this patch makes gfs2_ail_flush reserve the
maximum number of revokes it can, without increasing the total number
of reserved log blocks. This patch also passes the number of reserved
revokes to __gfs2_ail_flush() so that it doesn't go over its limit
and cause a crash like we're seeing. Non-fsync calls to __gfs2_ail_flush
will still cause a BUG() necessary revokes are skipped.

Having a global lock that protects all of this code is a clear
scalability problem. Instead of doing that, move most of the code to be
protected by the i_lock instead. The exceptions are the global lists
that the ->fl_link sits on, and the ->fl_block list.
->fl_link is what connects these structures to the
global lists, so we must ensure that we hold those locks when iterating
over or updating these lists.
Furthermore, sound deadlock detection requires that we hold the
blocked_list state steady while checking for loops. We also must ensure
that the search and update to the list are atomic.
For the checking and insertion side of the blocked_list, push the
acquisition of the global lock into __posix_lock_file and ensure that
checking and update of the blocked_list is done without dropping the
lock in between.
On the removal side, when waking up blocked lock waiters, take the
global lock before walking the blocked list and dequeue the waiters from
the global list prior to removal from the fl_block list.
With this, deadlock detection should be race free while we minimize
excessive file_lock_lock thrashing.
Finally, in order to avoid a lock inversion problem when handling
/proc/locks output we must ensure that manipulations of the fl_block
list are also protected by the file_lock_lock.

This patch looks at all the outstanding blocks in all the transactions
on the log, and moves the completed ones to the ail2 list. Then it
issues revokes for these blocks. This will hopefully speed things up
in situations where there is a lot of contention for glocks, especially
if they are acquired serially.
revoke_lo_before_commit will issue at most one log block's full of these
preemptive revokes. The amount of reserved log space that
gfs2_log_reserve() ignores has been incremented to allow for this extra
block.
This patch also consolidates the common revoke instructions into one
function, gfs2_add_revoke().

I've restricted atomic_open to only operate on regular files, although
I still don't understand why atomic_open should not be possible also for
directories on GFS2. That can always be added in later though, if it
makes sense.
The ->atomic_open function can be passed negative dentries, which
in most cases means either ENOENT (->lookup) or a call to d_instantiate
(->create). In the GFS2 case though, we need to actually perform the
look up, since we do not know whether there has been a new inode created
on another node. The look up calls d_splice_alias which then tries to
rehash the dentry - so the solution here is to simply check for that
in d_splice_alias. The same issue is likely to affect any other cluster
filesystem implementing ->atomic_open

Creation of a new inode requires a directory search in order to ensure
that we are not trying to create an inode with the same name as an
existing one. This was hidden away inside the create_ok() function.
In the case that there was an existing inode, and a lookup can be
substituted for a create (which is the case with regular files
when the O_EXCL flag is not in use) then we were doing a second
lookup in order to return the inode.
This patch merges these two lookups into one. This can be done by
passing a flag to gfs2_dir_search() to tell it to just return -EEXIST
in the cases where we don't actually want to look up the inode.

This version has one more correction: the vmalloc calls are replaced
by __vmalloc calls to preserve the GFP_NOFS flag.
When GFS2's directory management code allocates buffers for a
directory hash table, if it can't get the memory it needs, it
currently gives a bad return code. Rather than giving an error,
this patch allows it to use virtual memory rather than kernel
memory for the hash table. This should make it possible for
directories to function properly, even when kernel memory becomes

This patch changes the multi-block allocation code, such that
directory inodes only get a single block reserved in the bitmap.
That way, the bitmaps are more tightly packed together, and there
are fewer spans of free blocks for in-use block reservations.
This means it takes less time to find a free span of blocks in the
bitmap, which speeds things up. This increases the performance of
some workloads by almost 2X. In Nate's mockup.py script (which does
(1) create dir, (2) create dir in dir, (3) create file in that dir)
the test executes in 23 steps rather than 43 steps, a 47%
performance improvement.

Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
up to the certain point.
Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
page).
This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation
prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances
for it.
We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually
make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.
Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems
where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour
in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able
to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

There was a timing window when a GFS2 file system was unmounted
that caused GFS2 to call BUG() and panic the kernel. The call
to BUG() is meant to ensure that the glock reference count,
gl_ref, never gets down to zero and bounce back up again. What was
happening during umount is that function gfs2_put_super was dequeing
its glocks for well-known files. In particular, we saw it on the
journal glock, sd_jinode_gh. The dequeue caused delayed work to be
queued for the glock state machine, to transition the lock to an
"unlocked" state. While the work was still queued, gfs2_put_super
called gfs2_gl_hash_clear to clear out the glock hash tables.
If the timing was just so, the glock work function would drop the
reference count at the time when it was being checked for zero,
and that caused BUG() to be called. This patch calls
flush_workqueue before clearing the glock hash tables, thereby
ensuring that the delayed work is executed before the hash tables
are cleared, and therefore the reference count never goes to zero
until the glock is cleared.

This adds the origin indicator to the trace point for glock
demotion, so that it is possible to see where demote requests
have come from.
Note that requests generated from the demote_rq sysfs interface
will show as remote, since they are intended to replicate
exactly the effect of a demote reuqest from a remote node. It
is still possible to tell these apart by looking at the process
which initiated the demote request.

This patch adds a bool indicating whether the demote
request was originated locally or remotely. This is then
used by the iopen ->go_callback() to make 100% sure that
it will only respond to remote callbacks.
Since ->evict_inode() uses GL_NOCACHE when it attempts to
get an exclusive lock on the iopen lock, this may result
in extra scheduling of the workqueue in case that the
exclusive promotion request failed. This patch prevents
that from happening.

In order to allow transactions and log flushes to happen at the same
time, gfs2 needs to move the transaction accounting and active items
list code into the gfs2_trans structure. As a first step toward this,
this patch removes the gfs2_ail structure, and handles the active items
list in the gfs_trans structure. This keeps gfs2 from allocating an ail
structure on log flushes, and gives us a struture that can later be used
to store the transaction accounting outside of the gfs2 superblock
structure.
With this patch, at the end of a transaction, gfs2 will add the
gfs2_trans structure to the superblock if there is not one already.
This structure now has the active items fields that were previously in
gfs2_ail. This is not necessary in the case where the transaction was
simply used to add revokes, since these are never written outside of the
journal, and thus, don't need an active items list.
Also, in order to make sure that the transaction structure is not
removed while it's still in use by gfs2_trans_end, unlocking the
sd_log_flush_lock has to happen slightly later in ending the
transaction.

Over the previous two patches relating to inode creation, the
content of init_dinode() has been looking more and more like
gfs2_dinode_out(). This is not an accident! This patch replaces
the parts of init_dinode() which are duplicated in gfs2_dinode_out()
with a call to that function.
Mostly that is straightforward, but there is one issue which needed
to be resolved relating to the link count. The link count has to be
set to zero in a certain error handling code path, which lands up
calling iput(). This is now done specifically in that code path
allowing the link count to be set earlier and written into the
on disk inode by gfs2_dinode_put() in the normal way.

The original method for creating inodes used in GFS2 was to fill
out a buffer, with all the information, and then to read that
buffer into the in-core inode, using gfs2_refresh_inode()
The problem with this approach is that all the inode's fields
need to be calculated ahead of time, and were stored in various
variables making the code rather complicated.
The new approach is simply to allocate the in-core inode earlier
and fill in as many fields as possible ahead of time. These can
then be used to initilise the on disk representation. The
code has been working towards the point where it is possible
to remove gfs2_refresh_inode() because all the fields are
correctly initialised ahead of time. We've now reached that
milestone, and have reversed the order of setting up the in
core and on disk inodes.

This patch cleans up the inode creation code path in GFS2. After the
Orlov allocator was merged, a number of potential improvements are
now possible, and this is a first set of these.
The quota handling is now updated so that it matches the point in
the code where the allocation takes place. This means that the one
exception in gfs2_alloc_blocks relating to quota is now no longer
required, and we can use the generic code everywhere.
In addition the call to figure out whether we need to allocate any
extra blocks in order to add a directory entry is moved higher up
gfs2_create_inode. This means that if it returns an error, we
can deal with that at a stage where it is easier to handle that case.
The returned status cannot change during the function since we hold
an exclusive lock on the directory.
Two calls to gfs2_rindex_update have been changed to one, again at
the top of gfs2_create_inode to simplify error handling.
The time stamps are also now initialised earlier in the creation
process, this is gradually moving towards being able to remove the
call to gfs2_refresh_inode in gfs2_inode_create once we have all the
fields covered.

This patch changes GFS2's discard issuing code so that it calls
function sb_issue_discard rather than blkdev_issue_discard. The
code was calling blkdev_issue_discard and specifying the correct
sector offset and sector size, but blkdev_issue_discard expects
these values to be in terms of 512 byte sectors, even if the native
sector size for the device is different. Calling sb_issue_discard
with the BLOCK size instead ensures the correct block-to-512b-sector
translation. I verified that "minlen" is specified in blocks, so
comparing it to a number of blocks is correct.
