This is for bugzilla bug #248176: GFS2: invalid metadata block
Patches 1 thru 3 were accepted upstream, but there were problems
with 4 and 5. Those issues have been resolved and now the recovery
tests are passing without errors. This code has gone through
41 * 3 successful gfs2 recovery tests before it hit an
unrelated (openais) problem. I'm continuing to test it.
This is a complete rewrite of patch 5 for bug #248176, written by
Steve Whitehouse. This is referred to in the bugzilla record as
"new 6" and "a different solution".
The problem was that the journal inodes, although protected by
a glock, were not synched with the other nodes because they don't
use the inode glock synch operations (i.e. no "glops" were defined).
Therefore, journal recovery on a journal-recovering node were causing
the blocks to get out of sync with the node that was actually trying
to use that journal as it comes back up from a reboot.
There are two possible solutions: (1) To make the journals use the
normal inode glock sync operations, or (2) To make the journal
operations take effect immediately (i.e. no caching). Although
option 1 works, it turns out to be a lot more code. Steve opted
for option 2, which is much simpler and therefore less prone to
regression errors.

This patch fixes some sign issues which were accidentally introduced
into the quota & statfs code during the endianess annotation process.
Also included is a general clean up which moves all of the _host
structures out of gfs2_ondisk.h (where they should not have been to
start with) and into the places where they are actually used (often only
one place). Also those _host structures which are not required any more
are removed entirely (which is the eventual plan for all of them).
The conversion routines from ondisk.c are also moved into the places
where they are actually used, which for almost every one, was just one
single place, so all those are now static functions. This also cleans up
the end of gfs2_ondisk.h which no longer needs the #ifdef __KERNEL__.
The net result is a reduction of about 100 lines of code, many functions
now marked static plus the bug fixes as mentioned above. For good
measure I ran the code through sparse after making these changes to
check that there are no warnings generated.

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

This fix means that bmap will map extents of the length requested
by the VFS rather than guessing at it, or just mapping one block
at a time. The other callers of gfs2_block_map are audited to ensure
they send the correct max extent lengths (i.e. set bh->b_size correctly).

Fix a bug in the directory reading code, where we might have dereferenced
a NULL pointer in case of OOM. Updated the directory code to use the new
& improved version of gfs2_meta_ra() which now returns the first block
that was being read. Previously it was releasing it requiring following
code to grab the block again at each point it was called.
Also turned off readahead on directory lookups since we are reading a
hash table, and therefore reading the entries in order is very
unlikely. Readahead is still used for all other calls to the
directory reading function (e.g. when growing the hash table).
Removed the DIO_START constant. Everywhere this was used, it was
used to unconditionally start i/o aside from a couple of places, so
I've removed it and made the couple of exceptions to this rule into
separate functions.
Also hunted through the other DIO flags and removed them as arguments
from functions which were always called with the same combination of
arguments.
Updated gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer to be a bit more efficient and
hopefully also be a bit easier to read.

lm_interface.h has a few out of the tree clients such as GFS1
and userland tools.
Right now, these clients keeps a copy of the file in their build tree
that can go out of sync.
Move lm_interface.h to include/linux, export it to userland and
clean up fs/gfs2 to use the new location.

This is a tidy up of the GFS2 bmap code. The main change is that the
bh is passed to gfs2_block_map allowing the flags to be set directly
rather than having to repeat that code several times in ops_address.c.
At the same time, the extent mapping code from gfs2_extent_map has
been moved into gfs2_block_map. This allows all calls to gfs2_block_map
to map extents in the case that no allocation is taking place. As a
result reads and non-allocating writes should be faster. A quick test
with postmark appears to support this.
There is a limit on the number of blocks mapped in a single bmap
call in that it will only ever map blocks which are pointed to
from a single pointer block. So in other words, it will never try
to do additional i/o in order to satisfy read-ahead. The maximum
number of blocks is thus somewhat less than 512 (the GFS2 4k block
size minus the header divided by sizeof(u64)). I've further limited
the mapping of "normal" blocks to 32 blocks (to avoid extra work)
since readpages() will currently read a maximum of 32 blocks ahead (128k).
Some further work will probably be needed to set a suitable value
for DIO as well, but for now thats left at the maximum 512 (see
ops_address.c:gfs2_get_block_direct).
There is probably a lot more that can be done to improve bmap for GFS2,
but this is a good first step.

As per comments from Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> this
updates the copyright message to say "version" in full rather than
"v.2". Also incore.h has been updated to remove forward structure
declarations which are not required.
The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added
to it. Also quota.c has been updated so that we now store the
lvb data locally in endian independant format to avoid needing
a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess
conversions are done as required at various points and thus the
conversion routines in lvb.[ch] are no longer required. I've
moved the one remaining constant in lvb.h thats used into lm.h
and removed the unused lvb.[ch].
I have not changed the HIF_ constants. That is left to a later patch
which I hope will unify the gh_flags and gh_iflags fields of the
struct gfs2_holder.

Mmapped files were able to trigger a lock ordering bug. Private
maps do not need to take the glock so early on. Shared maps do
unfortunately, however we can get around that by adding a flag
into the flags for the struct gfs2_file. This only works because
we are taking an exclusive lock at this point, so we know that
nobody else can be racing with us.

This patch fixes the way we have been dealing with unlinked,
but still open files. It removes all limits (other than memory
for inodes, as per every other filesystem) on numbers of these
which we can support on GFS2. It also means that (like other
fs) its the responsibility of the last process to close the file
to deallocate the storage, rather than the person who did the
unlinking. Note that with GFS2, those two events might take place
on different nodes.
Also there are a number of other changes:
o We use the Linux inode subsystem as it was intended to be
used, wrt allocating GFS2 inodes
o The Linux inode cache is now the point which we use for
local enforcement of only holding one copy of the inode in
core at once (previous to this we used the glock layer).
o We no longer use the unlinked "special" file. We just ignore it
completely. This makes unlinking more efficient.
o We now use the 4th block allocation state. The previously unused
state is used to track unlinked but still open inodes.
o gfs2_inoded is no longer needed
o Several fields are now no longer needed (and removed) from the in
core struct gfs2_inode
o Several fields are no longer needed (and removed) from the in core
superblock
There are a number of future possible optimisations and clean ups
which have been made possible by this patch.

This adds readpages support (and also corrects a small bug in
the readpage error path at the same time). Hopefully this will
improve performance by allowing GFS to submit larger lumps of
I/O at a time.
In order to simplify the setting of BH_Boundary, it currently gets
set when we hit the end of a indirect pointer block. There is
always a boundary at this point with the current allocation code.
It doesn't get all the boundaries right though, so there is still
room for improvement in this.
See comments in fs/gfs2/ops_address.c for further information about
readpages with GFS2.

This patch changes the last user of recursive locking so that
it no longer needs this feature and removes it from the glock
layer. This makes the glock code a lot simpler and easier to
understand. Its also a prerequsite to adding support for the
AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE return code (or at least it is if you don't
want your brain to melt in the process)
I've left in a couple of checks just in case there is some place
else in the code which is still using this feature that I didn't
spot yet, but they can probably be removed long term.

This is one of the changes related to journal recovery I mentioned a
couple weeks ago. We can get into a situation where there are only
readonly nodes currently mounting the fs, but there are journals that need
to be recovered. Since the readonly nodes can't recover journals, the
next rw mounter needs to go through and check all journals and recover any
that are dirty (i.e. what the first node to mount the fs does). This rw
mounter needs to skip the journals held by the existing readonly nodes.
Skipping those journals amounts to using the TRY flag on the journal locks
so acquiring the lock of a journal held by a readonly node will fail
instead of blocking indefinately.

This reduces the size of the directory code by about 3k and gets
readdir() to use the functions which were introduced in the previous
directory code update.
Two memory allocations are merged into one. Eliminates zeroing of some
buffers which were never used before they were initialised by
other data.
There is still scope for further improvement in the directory code.
On the logging side, a hand created mutex has been replaced by a
standard Linux mutex in the log allocation code.

As suggested by Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>.
The DIV_RU macro is renamed DIV_ROUND_UP and and moved to kernel.h
The other macros are gone from gfs2.h as (although not requested
by Pekka Enberg) are a number of included header file which are now
included individually. The inode number comparison function is
now an inline function.
The DT2IF and IF2DT may be addressed in a future patch.

Umount is now working correctly again. The bug was due to
not getting an extra ref count when mounting the fs. We
should have bumped it by two (once for the internal pointer
to the root inode from the super block and once for the
inode hanging off the dcache entry for root).
Also this patch tidys up the code dealing with looking up
and creating inodes. We now pass Linux inodes (with gfs2_inodes
attached) rather than the other way around and this reduces code
duplication in various places.
