This requires flushing delayed work items in gfs2_make_fs_ro (which is called
before unmounting a filesystem).
When inodes are deleted and then recreated, pending gl_delete work items would
have no effect because the inode generations will have changed, so we can
cancel any pending gl_delete works before reusing iopen glocks.

When deleting an inode, keep track of the generation of the deleted inode in
the inode glock Lock Value Block (LVB). When trying to delete an inode
remotely, check the last-known inode generation against the deleted inode
generation to skip duplicate remote deletes. This avoids taking the resource
group glock in order to verify the block type.

Before this patch, asserts based on glocks did not print the glock with
the error. This patch introduces a new macro, gfs2_glock_assert_withdraw
which first prints the glock, then takes the assert.
This also changes a few glock asserts to the new macro.

Because s_vfs_rename_mutex is not cluster-wide, multiple nodes can
reverse the roles of which directories are "old" and which are "new" for
the purposes of rename. This can cause deadlocks where two nodes end up
waiting for each other.
There can be several layers of directory dependencies across many nodes.
This patch fixes the problem by acquiring all gfs2_rename's inode glocks
asychronously and waiting for all glocks to be acquired. That way all
inodes are locked regardless of the order.
The timeout value for multiple asynchronous glocks is calculated to be
the total of the individual wait times for each glock times two.
Since gfs2_exchange is very similar to gfs2_rename, both functions are
patched in the same way.
A new async glock wait queue, sd_async_glock_wait, keeps a list of
waiters for these events. If gfs2's holder_wake function detects an
async holder, it wakes up any waiters for the event. The waiter only
tests whether any of its requests are still pending.
Since the glocks are sent to dlm asychronously, the wait function needs
to check to see which glocks, if any, were granted.
If a glock is granted by dlm (and therefore held), its minimum hold time
is checked and adjusted as necessary, as other glock grants do.
If the event times out, all glocks held thus far must be dequeued to
resolve any existing deadlocks. Then, if there are any outstanding
locking requests, we need to loop around and wait for dlm to respond to
those requests too. After we release all requests, we return -ESTALE to
the caller (vfs rename) which loops around and retries the request.
Node1 Node2
--------- ---------
1. Enqueue A Enqueue B
2. Enqueue B Enqueue A
3. A granted
6. B granted
7. Wait for B
8. Wait for A
9. A times out (since Node 1 holds A)
10. Dequeue B (since it was granted)
11. Wait for all requests from DLM
12. B Granted (since Node2 released it in step 10)
13. Rename
14. Dequeue A
15. DLM Grants A
16. Dequeue A (due to the timeout and since we
no longer have B held for our task).
17. Dequeue B
18. Return -ESTALE to vfs
19. VFS retries the operation, goto step 1.
This release-all-locks / acquire-all-locks may slow rename / exchange
down as both nodes struggle in the same way and do the same thing.
However, this will only happen when there is contention for the same
inodes, which ought to be rare.

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.

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the

never do something different based on this.
There is no need to save the dentries for the debugfs files, so drop

gfs2_evict_inode is called to free inodes under memory pressure. The
function calls into DLM when an inode's last cluster-wide reference goes
away (remote unlink) and to release the glock and associated DLM lock
before finally destroying the inode. However, if DLM is blocked on
memory to become available, calling into DLM again will deadlock.
Avoid that by decoupling releasing glocks from destroying inodes in that
case: with gfs2_glock_queue_put, glocks will be dequeued asynchronously
in work queue context, when the associated inodes have likely already
been destroyed.
With this change, inodes can end up being unlinked, remote-unlink can be
triggered, and then the inode can be reallocated before all
remote-unlink callbacks are processed. To detect that, revalidate the
link count in gfs2_evict_inode to make sure we're not deleting an
allocated, referenced 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.)

Make the code more readable by cleaning up the different ways of
initializing lock holders and checking for initialized lock holders:
mark lock holders as uninitialized by setting the holder's glock to NULL
(gfs2_holder_mark_uninitialized) instead of zeroing out the entire
object or using a separate flag. Recognize initialized holders by their
non-NULL glock (gfs2_holder_initialized). Don't zero out holder objects
which are immeditiately initialized via gfs2_holder_init or
gfs2_glock_nq_init.

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().

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.

Rather than allowing the glocks to be scheduled for possible
reclaim as soon as they have exited the journal, this patch
delays their entry to the list until the glocks in question
are no longer in use.
This means that we will rely on the vm for writeback of all
dirty data and metadata from now on. When glocks are added
to the lru list they should be freeable much faster since all
the I/O required to free them should have already been completed.
This should lead to much better I/O patterns under low memory
conditions.

This patch fixes a race in deallocating glocks which was introduced
in the RCU glock patch. We need to ensure that the glock count is

RCU grace period, the glock counter can be decremented before
call_rcu() is called.

This has a number of advantages:
- Reduces contention on the hash table lock
- Makes the code smaller and simpler
- Should speed up glock dumps when under load
- Removes ref count changing in examine_bucket
- No longer need hash chain lock in glock_put() in common case
There are some further changes which this enables and which
we may do in the future. One is to look at using SLAB_RCU,
and another is to look at using a per-cpu counter for the
per-sb glock counter, since that is touched twice in the
lifetime of each glock (but only used at umount time).

Since the start of GFS2, an "extra" inode has been used to store
the metadata belonging to each inode. The only reason for using
this inode was to have an extra address space, the other fields
were unused. This means that the memory usage was rather inefficient.
The reason for keeping each inode's metadata in a separate address
space is that when glocks are requested on remote nodes, we need to
be able to efficiently locate the data and metadata which relating
to that glock (inode) in order to sync or sync and invalidate it
(depending on the remotely requested lock mode).
This patch adds a new type of glock, which has in addition to
its normal fields, has an address space. This applies to all
inode and rgrp glocks (but to no other glock types which remain
as before). As a result, we no longer need to have the second
inode.
This results in three major improvements:
1. A saving of approx 25% of memory used in caching inodes
2. A removal of the circular dependency between inodes and glocks
3. No confusion between "normal" and "metadata" inodes in super.c
Although the first of these is the more immediately apparent, the
second is just as important as it now enables a number of clean
ups at umount time. Those will be the subject of future patches.

Although all glocks are, by the time of the umount glock wait,
scheduled for demotion, some of them haven't made it far
enough through the process for the original set of waiting
code to wait for them.
This extends the ref count to the whole glock lifetime in order
to ensure that the waiting does catch all glocks. It does make
it a bit more invasive, but it seems the only sensible solution
at the moment.

When a file is deleted from a gfs2 filesystem on one node, a dcache
entry for it may still exist on other nodes in the cluster. If this
happens, gfs2 will be unable to free this file on disk. Because of this,
it's possible to have a gfs2 filesystem with no files on it and no free
space. With this patch, when a node receives a callback notifying it
that the file is being deleted on another node, it schedules a new
workqueue thread to remove the file's dcache entry.

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

There was a use-after-free with the GFS2 super block during
umount. This patch moves almost all of the umount code from
->put_super into ->kill_sb, the only bit that cannot be moved
being the glock hash clearing which has to remain as ->put_super
due to umount ordering requirements. As a result its now obvious
that the kfree is the final operation, whereas before it was
hidden in ->put_super.
Also gfs2_jindex_free is then only referenced from a single file

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.

Following on from the recent clean up of gfs2_quotad, this patch moves
the processing of "truncate in progress" inodes from the glock workqueue
into gfs2_quotad. This fixes a hang due to the "truncate in progress"
processing requiring glocks in order to complete.
It might seem odd to use gfs2_quotad for this particular item, but
we have to use a pre-existing thread since creating a thread implies
a GFP_KERNEL memory allocation which is not allowed from the glock
workqueue context. Of the existing threads, gfs2_logd and gfs2_recoverd
may deadlock if used for this operation. gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd are
both scheduled for removal at some (hopefully not too distant) future
point. That leaves only gfs2_quotad whose workload is generally fairly
light and is easily adapted for this extra task.
Also, as a result of this change, it opens the way for a future patch to
make the reading of the inode's information asynchronous with respect to
the glock workqueue, which is another improvement that has been on the list
for some time now.

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.

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.

This patch implements a number of cleanups to the core of the
GFS2 glock code. As a result a lot of code is removed. It looks
like a really big change, but actually a large part of this patch
is either removing or moving existing code.
There are some new bits too though, such as the new run_queue()
function which is considerably streamlined. Highlights of this
patch include:
o Fixes a cluster coherency bug during SH -> EX lock conversions
o Removes the "glmutex" code in favour of a single bit lock
o Removes the ->go_xmote_bh() for inodes since it was duplicating
->go_lock()
o We now only use the ->lm_lock() function for both locks and
unlocks (i.e. unlock is a lock with target mode LM_ST_UNLOCKED)
o The fast path is considerably shortly, giving performance gains
especially with lock_nolock
o The glock_workqueue is now used for all the callbacks from the DLM
which allows us to simplify the lock_dlm module (see following patch)
o The way is now open to make further changes such as eliminating the two
threads (gfs2_glockd and gfs2_scand) in favour of a more efficient
scheme.
This patch has undergone extensive testing with various test suites
so it should be pretty stable by now.

We've previously been using a "try lock" in readpage on the basis that
it would prevent deadlocks due to the inverted lock ordering (our normal
lock ordering is glock first and then page lock). Unfortunately tests
have shown that this isn't enough. If the glock has a demote request
queued such that run_queue() in the glock code tries to do a demote when
its called under readpage then it will try and write out all the dirty
pages which requires locking them. This then deadlocks with the page
locked by readpage.
The solution is to always require two calls into readpage. The first
unlocks the page, gets the glock and returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, the
second does the actual readpage and unlocks the glock & page as
required.

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.

We only need a single gfs2_scand process rather than the one
per filesystem which we had previously. As a result the parameter
determining the frequency of gfs2_scand runs becomes a module
parameter rather than a mount parameter as it was before.

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.

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly
Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

In Testing the previously posted and accepted patch for
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228540
I uncovered some gfs2 badness. It turns out that the current
gfs2 code saves off a process pointer when glocks is taken
in both the glock and glock holder structures. Those
structures will persist in memory long after the process has
ended; pointers to poisoned memory.
This problem isn't caused by the 228540 fix; the new capability
introduced by the fix just uncovered the problem.
I wrote this patch that avoids saving process pointers
and instead saves off the process pid. Rather than
referencing the bad pointers, it now does process lookups.
There is special code that makes the output nicer for
printing holder information for processes that have ended.
This patch also adds a stub for the new "sprint_symbol"
function that exists in Andrew Morton's -mm patch set, but
won't go into the base kernel until 2.6.22, since it adds
functionality but doesn't fix a bug.

This patch prevents the printing of a warning message in cases where
the fs is functioning normally by handing off responsibility for
unlinked, but still open inodes, to another node for eventual deallocation.
Also, there is now an improved system for ensuring that such requests
to other nodes do not get lost. The callback on the iopen lock is
only ever called when i_nlink == 0 and when a node is unable to deallocate
it due to it still being in use on another node. When a node receives
the callback therefore, it knows that i_nlink must be zero, so we mark
it as such (in gfs2_drop_inode) in order that it will then attempt
deallocation of the inode itself.
As an additional benefit, queuing a demote request no longer requires
a memory allocation. This simplifies the code for dealing with gfs2_holders
as it removes one special case.
There are two new fields in struct gfs2_glock. gl_demote_state is the
state which the remote node has requested and gl_demote_time is the
time when the request came in. Both fields are only valid when the
GLF_DEMOTE flag is set in gl_flags.
