Alexander Aring 5b2f981fde fs: dlm: add midcomms debugfs functionality
This patch adds functionality to debug midcomms per connection state
inside a comms directory which is similar like dlm configfs. Currently
there exists the possibility to read out two attributes which is the
send queue counter and the version of each midcomms node state.

Alexander Aring 489d8e559c fs: dlm: add reliable connection if reconnect
This patch introduce to make a tcp lowcomms connection reliable even if
reconnects occurs. This is done by an application layer re-transmission
handling and sequence numbers in dlm protocols. There are three new dlm
commands:

DLM_OPTS:

This will encapsulate an existing dlm message (and rcom message if they
don't have an own application side re-transmission handling). As optional
handling additional tlv's (type length fields) can be appended. This can
be for example a sequence number field. However because in DLM_OPTS the
lockspace field is unused and a sequence number is a mandatory field it
isn't made as a tlv and we put the sequence number inside the lockspace
id. The possibility to add optional options are still there for future
purposes.

DLM_ACK:

Just a dlm header to acknowledge the receive of a DLM_OPTS message to
it's sender.

DLM_FIN:

This provides a 4 way handshake for connection termination inclusive
support for half-closed connections. It's provided on application layer
because SCTP doesn't support half-closed sockets, the shutdown() call
can interrupted by e.g. TCP resets itself and a hard logic to implement
it because the othercon paradigm in lowcomms. The 4-way termination
handshake also solve problems to synchronize peer EOF arrival and that
the cluster manager removes the peer in the node membership handling of
DLM. In some cases messages can be still transmitted in this time and we
need to wait for the node membership event.

To provide a reliable connection the node will retransmit all
unacknowledges message to it's peer on reconnect. The receiver will then
filtering out the next received message and drop all messages which are
duplicates.

As RCOM_STATUS and RCOM_NAMES messages are the first messages which are
exchanged and they have they own re-transmission handling, there exists
logic that these messages must be first. If these messages arrives we
store the dlm version field. This handling is on DLM 3.1 and after this
patch 3.2 the same. A backwards compatibility handling has been added
which seems to work on tests without tcpkill, however it's not recommended
to use DLM 3.1 and 3.2 at the same time, because DLM 3.2 tries to fix long
term bugs in the DLM protocol.

Alexander Aring a070a91cf1 fs: dlm: add more midcomms hooks
This patch prepares hooks to redirect to the midcomms layer which will
be used by the midcomms re-transmit handling.

There exists the new concept of stateless buffers allocation and
commits. This can be used to bypass the midcomms re-transmit handling. It
is used by RCOM_STATUS and RCOM_NAMES messages, because they have their
own ping-like re-transmit handling. As well these two messages will be
used to determine the DLM version per node, because these two messages
are per observation the first messages which are exchanged.

Cluster manager events for node membership are added to add support for
half-closed connections in cases that the peer connection get to
an end of file but DLM still holds membership of the node. In
this time DLM can still trigger new message which we should allow. After
the cluster manager node removal event occurs it safe to close the
connection.

Alexander Aring 4798cbbfbd fs: dlm: rework receive handling
This patch reworks the current receive handling of dlm. As I tried to
change the send handling to fix reorder issues I took a look into the
receive handling and simplified it, it works as the following:

Each connection has a preallocated receive buffer with a minimum length of
4096. On receive, the upper layer protocol will process all dlm message
until there is not enough data anymore. If there exists "leftover" data at
the end of the receive buffer because the dlm message wasn't fully received
it will be copied to the begin of the preallocated receive buffer. Next
receive more data will be appended to the previous "leftover" data and
processing will begin again.

This will remove a lot of code of the current mechanism. Inside the
processing functionality we will ensure with a memmove() that the dlm
message should be memory aligned. To have a dlm message always started
at the beginning of the buffer will reduce some amount of memmove()
calls because src and dest pointers are the same.

The cluster attribute "buffer_size" becomes a new meaning, it's now the
size of application layer receive buffer size. If this is changed during
runtime the receive buffer will be reallocated. It's important that the
receive buffer size has at minimum the size of the maximum possible dlm
message size otherwise the received message cannot be placed inside
the receive buffer size.

David Teigland e7fd41792f [DLM] The core of the DLM for GFS2/CLVM
This is the core of the distributed lock manager which is required
to use GFS2 as a cluster filesystem. It is also used by CLVM and
can be used as a standalone lock manager independantly of either
of these two projects.

It implements VAX-style locking modes.
