f29e62eed2 gfs2: replace more printk with calls to fs_info and friends
This patch replaces a few leftover printk errors with calls to

3792ce973f gfs2: dump fsid when dumping glock problems
Before this patch, if a glock error was encountered, the glock with
the problem was dumped. But sometimes you may have lots of file systems
mounted, and that doesn't tell you which file system it was for.

This patch adds a new boolean parameter fsid to the dump_glock family
of functions. For non-error cases, such as dumping the glocks debugfs
file, the fsid is not dumped in order to keep lock dumps and glocktop
as clean as possible. For all error cases, such as GLOCK_BUG_ON, the
file system id is now printed. This will make it easier to debug.

04aea0ca14 gfs2: Rename SDF_SHUTDOWN to SDF_WITHDRAWN
Before this patch, the superblock flag indicating when a file system
is withdrawn was called SDF_SHUTDOWN. This patch simply renames it to
the more obvious SDF_WITHDRAWN.

f4686c26ec gfs2: read journal in large chunks
Use bios to read in the journal into the address space of the journal inode
(jd_inode), sequentially and in large chunks.  This is faster for locating the
journal head that the previous binary search approach.  When performing
recovery, we keep the journal in the address space until recovery is done,
which further speeds up things.

27a2660f1e gfs2: Dump nrpages for inodes and their glocks
This patch is based on an idea from Steve Whitehouse. The idea is

95582b0083 vfs: change inode times to use struct timespec64
struct timespec is not y2038 safe. Transition vfs to use
y2038 safe struct timespec64 instead.

The change was made with the help of the following cocinelle
script. This catches about 80% of the changes.
All the header file and logic changes are included in the
first 5 rules. The rest are trivial substitutions.
I avoid changing any of the function signatures or any other
filesystem specific data structures to keep the patch simple
for review.

The script can be a little shorter by combining different cases.
But, this version was sufficient for my usecase.

This patch adds a new structure called gfs2_log_header_v2 which is used
to store expanded fields into previously unused areas of the log headers
(i.e., this change is backwards compatible).  Some of these are used for
debug purposes so we can backtrack when problems occur.  Others are
reserved for future expansion.

This patch is based on a prototype from Steve Whitehouse.

0f0d12728e Merge branch 'work.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

 "Another chunk of fmount preparations from dhowells; only trivial
  conflicts for that part. It separates MS_... bits (very grotty

  This does *not* convert the filesystems to new constants; only the

eebd2e813f gfs2: Get rid of gfs2_set_nlink
Remove gfs2_set_nlink which prevents the link count of an inode from
becoming non-zero once it has reached zero.  The next commit reduces the
amount of waiting on glocks when an inode is evicted from memory.  With
that, an inode can become reallocated before all the remote-unlink
callbacks from a previous delete are processed, which causes the link
count to change from zero to non-zero.

4fd1a57952 gfs2: Get rid of flush_delayed_work in gfs2_evict_inode
So far, gfs2_evict_inode clears gl->gl_object and then flushes the glock
work queue to make sure that inode glops which dereference gl->gl_object
have finished running before the inode is destroyed.  However, flushing
the work queue may do more work than needed, and in particular, it may
call into DLM, which we want to avoid here.  Use a bit lock
(GIF_GLOP_PENDING) to synchronize between the inode glops and
gfs2_evict_inode instead to get rid of the flushing.

In addition, flush the work queues of existing glocks before reusing
them for new inodes to get those glocks into a known state: the glock
state engine currently doesn't handle glock re-appropriation correctly.
(We may be able to fix the glock state engine instead later.)

Function inode_go_demote_ok had some code that was only executed
if gl_holders was not empty. However, if gl_holders was not empty,
the only caller, demote_ok(), returns before inode_go_demote_ok
would ever be called. Therefore, it's dead code, so I removed it.

f39814f60a gfs2: Invalid security labels of inodes when they go invalid
When gfs2 releases the glock of an inode, it must invalidate all
information cached for that inode, including the page cache and acls.
Use the new security_inode_invalidate_secctx hook to also invalidate
security labels in that case.  These items will be reread from disk
when needed after reacquiring the glock.

What uniquely identifies a glock in the glock hash table is not
gl_name, but gl_name and its superblock pointer. This patch makes
the gl_name field correspond to a unique glock identifier. That will
allow us to simplify hashing with a future patch, since the hash
algorithm can then take the gl_name and hash its components in one

39b0f1e929 GFS2: Don't brelse rgrp buffer_heads every allocation
This patch allows the block allocation code to retain the buffers
for the resource groups so they don't need to be re-read from buffer
cache with every request. This is a performance improvement that's
especially noticeable when resource groups are very large. For
example, with 2GB resource groups and 4K blocks, there can be 33
blocks for every resource group. This patch allows those 33 buffers
to be kept around and not read in and thrown away with every
operation. The buffers are released when the resource group is
either synced or invalidated.

2e60d7683c GFS2: update freeze code to use freeze/thaw_super on all nodes
The current gfs2 freezing code is considerably more complicated than it
should be because it doesn't use the vfs freezing code on any node except
the one that begins the freeze.  This is because it needs to acquire a
cluster glock before calling the vfs code to prevent a deadlock, and
without the new freeze_super and thaw_super hooks, that was impossible. To
deal with the issue, gfs2 had to do some hacky locking tricks to make sure
that a frozen node couldn't be holding on a lock it needed to do the
unfreeze ioctl.

This patch makes use of the new hooks to simply the gfs2 locking code. Now,
all the nodes in the cluster freeze and thaw in exactly the same way. Every
node in the cluster caches the freeze glock in the shared state.  The new
freeze_super hook allows the freezing node to grab this freeze glock in
the exclusive state without first calling the vfs freeze_super function.
All the nodes in the cluster see this lock change, and call the vfs
freeze_super function. The vfs locking code guarantees that the nodes can't
get stuck holding the glocks necessary to unfreeze the system.  To
unfreeze, the freezing node uses the new thaw_super hook to drop the freeze
glock. Again, all the nodes notice this, reacquire the glock in shared mode
and call the vfs thaw_super function.

24972557b1 GFS2: remove transaction glock
GFS2 has a transaction glock, which must be grabbed for every
transaction, whose purpose is to deal with freezing the filesystem.
Aside from this involving a large amount of locking, it is very easy to
make the current fsfreeze code hang on unfreezing.

This patch rewrites how gfs2 handles freezing the filesystem. The
transaction glock is removed. In it's place is a freeze glock, which is
cached (but not held) in a shared state by every node in the cluster
when the filesystem is mounted. This lock only needs to be grabbed on
freezing, and actions which need to be safe from freezing, like
recovery.

When a node wants to freeze the filesystem, it grabs this glock
exclusively.  When the freeze glock state changes on the nodes (either
from shared to unlocked, or shared to exclusive), the filesystem does a
special log flush.  gfs2_log_flush() does all the work for flushing out
the and shutting down the incore log, and then it tries to grab the
freeze glock in a shared state again.  Since the filesystem is stuck in
gfs2_log_flush, no new transaction can start, and nothing can be written
to disk. Unfreezing the filesytem simply involes dropping the freeze
glock, allowing gfs2_log_flush() to grab and then release the shared
lock, so it is cached for next time.

However, in order for the unfreezing ioctl to occur, gfs2 needs to get a
shared lock on the filesystem root directory inode to check permissions.
If that glock has already been grabbed exclusively, fsfreeze will be
unable to get the shared lock and unfreeze the filesystem.

In order to allow the unfreeze, this patch makes gfs2 grab a shared lock
on the filesystem root directory during the freeze, and hold it until it
unfreezes the filesystem.  The functions which need to grab a shared
lock in order to allow the unfreeze ioctl to be issued now use the lock
grabbed by the freeze code instead.

The freeze and unfreeze code take care to make sure that this shared
lock will not be dropped while another process is using it.

d69a3c6561 GFS2: Move log buffer lists into transaction
Over time, we hope to be able to improve the concurrency available
in the log code. This is one small step towards that, by moving
the buffer lists from the super block, and into the transaction
structure, so that each transaction builds its own buffer lists.

At transaction commit time, the buffer lists are merged into
the currently accumulating transaction. That transaction then
is passed into the before and after commit functions at journal
flush time. Thus there should be no change in overall behaviour
yet.

70d4ee94b3 GFS2: Use only a single address space for rgrps
Prior to this patch, GFS2 had one address space for each rgrp,
stored in the glock. This patch changes them to use a single
address space in the super block. This therefore saves
(sizeof(struct address_space) * nr_of_rgrps) bytes of memory
and for large filesystems, that can be significant.

It would be nice to be able to do something similar and merge
the inode metadata address space into the same global
address space. However, that is rather more complicated as the
on-disk location doesn't have a 1:1 mapping with the inodes in
general. So while it could be done, it will be a more complicated
operation as it requires changing a lot more code paths.

7005c3e4ae GFS2: Use range based functions for rgrp sync/invalidation
Each rgrp header is represented as a single extent on disk, so we
can calculate the position within the address space, since we are
using address spaces mapped 1:1 to the disk. This means that it
is possible to use the range based versions of filemap_fdatawrite/wait
and for invalidating the page cache.

Our eventual intent is to then be able to merge the address spaces
used for rgrps into a single address space, rather than to have
one for each glock, saving memory and reducing complexity.

Since during umount, the rgrp structures are disposed of before
the glocks, we need to store the extent information in the glock
so that is is available for a final invalidation. This patch uses
a field which is otherwise unused in rgrp glocks to do that, so
that we do not have to expand the size of a glock.

582d2f7aed GFS2: Wait for async DIO in glock state changes
We need to wait for any outstanding DIO to complete in a couple
of situations. Firstly, in case we are changing out of deferred
mode (in inode_go_sync) where GLF_DIRTY will not be set. That
call could be prefixed with a test for gl_state == LM_ST_DEFERRED
but it doesn't seem worth it bearing in mind that the test for
outstanding DIO is very quick anyway, in the usual case that there
is none.

The second case is in inode_go_lock which will catch the cases
where we have a cached EX lock, but where we grant deferred locks
against it so that there is no glock state transistion. We only
need to wait if the state is not deferred, since DIO is valid
anyway in that state.

e66cf16109 GFS2: Use lockref for glocks
Currently glocks have an atomic reference count and also a spinlock
which covers various internal fields, such as the state. This intent of
this patch is to replace the spinlock and the atomic reference count
with a lockref structure. This contains a spinlock which we can continue
to use as before, and a reference counter which is used in conjuction
with the spinlock to replace the previous atomic counter.

As a result of this there are some new rules for reference counting on
glocks. We need to distinguish between reference count changes under
gl_spin (which are now just increment or decrement of the new counter,
provided the count cannot hit zero) and those which are outside of
gl_spin, but which now take gl_spin internally.

The conversion is relatively straight forward. There is probably some
further clean up which can be done, but the priority at this stage is to
make the change in as simple a manner as possible.

A consequence of this change is that the reference count is being
decoupled from the lru list processing. This should allow future
adoption of the lru_list code with glocks in due course.

The reason for using the "dead" state and not just relying on 0 being
the "invalid state" is so that in due course 0 ref counts can be
allowable. The intent is to eventually be able to remove the ref count
changes which are currently hidden away in state_change().

1bc333f4cf GFS2: don't overrun reserved revokes
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

will still cause a BUG() necessary revokes are skipped.

block.

8339ee543e GFS2: Make resource groups "append only" during life of fs
Since we have ruled out supporting online filesystem shrink,
it is possible to make the resource group list append only
during the life of a super block. This gives several benefits:

Firstly, we only need to read new rindex elements as they are added
rather than needing to reread the whole rindex file each time one
element is added.

Secondly, the rindex glock can be held for much shorter periods of
time, and is completely removed from the fast path for allocations.
The lock is taken in shared mode only when updating the resource
groups when the first allocation occurs, and after a grow has
taken place.

Thirdly, this results in a reduction in code size, and everything
gets a lot simpler to understand in this area.

Here is an update of Bob's original rbtree patch which, in addition, also
resolves the rather strange ref counting that was being done relating to
the bitmap blocks.

Originally we had a dual system for journaling resource groups. The metadata
blocks were journaled and also the rgrp itself was added to a list. The reason
for adding the rgrp to the list in the journal was so that the "repolish
clones" code could be run to update the free space, and potentially send any
discard requests when the log was flushed. This was done by comparing the
"cloned" bitmap with what had been written back on disk during the transaction
commit.

Due to this, there was a requirement to hang on to the rgrps' bitmap buffers
until the journal had been flushed. For that reason, there was a rather
complicated set up in the ->go_lock ->go_unlock functions for rgrps involving
both a mutex and a spinlock (the ->sd_rindex_spin) to maintain a reference
count on the buffers.

However, the journal maintains a reference count on the buffers anyway, since
they are being journaled as metadata buffers. So by moving the code which deals
with the post-journal accounting for bitmap blocks to the metadata journaling
code, we can entirely dispense with the rather strange buffer ref counting
scheme and also the requirement to journal the rgrps.

The net result of all this is that the ->sd_rindex_spin is left to do exactly
one job, and that is to look after the rbtree or rgrps.

This patch is designed to be a stepping stone towards using RCU for the rbtree
of resource groups, however the reduction in the number of uses of the
->sd_rindex_spin is likely to have benefits for multi-threaded workloads,
anyway.

The patch retains ->go_lock and ->go_unlock for rgrps, however these maybe also
be removed in future in favour of calling the functions directly where required
in the code. That will allow locking of resource groups without needing to
actually read them in - something that could be useful in speeding up statfs.

In the mean time though it is valid to dereference ->bi_bh only when the rgrp
is locked. This is basically the same rule as before, modulo the references not
being valid until the following journal flush.
