This patch is rework of lowcomms handling, the main goal was here to
handle recvmsg() and sendpage() to run parallel. Parallel in two senses:
1. per connection and 2. that recvmsg()/sendpage() doesn't block each
other.
Currently recvmsg()/sendpage() cannot run parallel because two
workqueues "dlm_recv" and "dlm_send" are ordered workqueues. That means
only one work item can be executed. The amount of queue items will be
increased about the amount of nodes being inside the cluster. The current
two workqueues for sending and receiving can also block each other if the
same connection is executed at the same time in dlm_recv and dlm_send
workqueue because a per connection mutex for the socket handling.
To make it more parallel we introduce one "dlm_io" workqueue which is
not an ordered workqueue, the amount of workers are not limited. Due
per connection flags SEND/RECV pending we schedule workers ordered per
connection and per send and receive task. To get rid of the mutex
blocking same workers to do socket handling we switched to a semaphore
which handles socket operations as read lock and sock releases as write
operations, to prevent sock_release() being called while the socket is
being used.
There might be more optimization removing the semaphore and replacing it
with other synchronization mechanism, however due other circumstances
e.g. othercon behaviour it seems complicated to doing this change. I
added comments to remove the othercon handling and moving to a different
synchronization mechanism as this is done. We need to do that to the next
dlm major version upgrade because it is not backwards compatible with the
current connect mechanism.
The processing of dlm messages need to be still handled by a ordered
workqueue. An dlm_process ordered workqueue was introduced which gets
filled by the receive worker. This is probably the next bottleneck of
DLM but the application can't currently parse dlm messages parallel. A
comment was introduced to lift the workqueue context of dlm processing
in a non-sleepable softirq to get messages processing done fast.

This patch introduces leftovers of init, start, stop and exit
functionality. The dlm application layer should always call the midcomms
layer which getting aware of such event and redirect it to the lowcomms
layer. Some functionality which is currently handled inside the start
functionality of midcomms and lowcomms should be handled in the init
functionality as it only need to be initialized once when dlm is loaded.

This patch adds tracepoints for send and recv cases of dlm messages and
dlm rcom messages. In case of send and dlm message we add the dlm rsb
resource name this dlm messages belongs to. This has the advantage to
follow dlm messages on a per lock basis. In case of recv message the
resource name can be extracted by follow the send message sequence
number.
The dlm message DLM_MSG_PURGE doesn't belong to a lock request and will
not set the resource name in a dlm_message trace. The same for all rcom
messages.
There is additional handling required for this debugging functionality
which is tried to be small as possible. Also the midcomms layer gets
aware of lock resource names, for now this is required to make a
connection between sequence number and lock resource names. It is for
debugging purpose only.

This patch adds a dlm functionality to send a raw dlm message to a
specific cluster node. This raw message can be build by user space and
send out by writing the message to "rawmsg" dlm debugfs file.
There is a in progress scapy dlm module which provides a easy build of
DLM messages in user space. For example:
DLM(h_cmd=3, o_nextcmd=1, h_nodeid=1, h_lockspace=0xe4f48a18, ...)
The goal is to provide an easy reproducable state to crash DLM or to
fuzz the DLM kernel stack if there are possible ways to crash it.
Note: that if the sequence number is zero and dlm version is not set to
3.1 the kernel will automatic will set a right sequence number, otherwise
DLM stack testing is not possible.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
