In ocfs2_validate_gd_parent, we check bg_chain against the
cl_next_free_rec of the dinode. Actually in resize, we have
the chance of bg_chain == cl_next_free_rec. So add some
additional condition check for it.
I also rename paramter "clean_error" to "resize", since the
old one is not clearly enough to indicate that we should only
meet with this case in resize.

Constify struct sysfs_ops.
This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.
Benefits of this constification:
* prevents modification of data that is shared
(referenced) by many other structure instances
at runtime
* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce
read-only kernel data at runtime
* potentially better optimized code as the compiler
can assume that the const data cannot be changed
* the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
and therefore exclude them from false sharing

Currently various places in the VFS call vfs_dq_init directly. This means
we tie the quota code into the VFS. Get rid of that and make the
filesystem responsible for the initialization. For most metadata operations
this is a straight forward move into the methods, but for truncate and
open it's a bit more complicated.
For truncate we currently only call vfs_dq_init for the sys_truncate case
because open already takes care of it for ftruncate and open(O_TRUNC) - the
new code causes an additional vfs_dq_init for those which is harmless.
For open the initialization is moved from do_filp_open into the open method,
which means it happens slightly earlier now, and only for regular files.
The latter is fine because we don't need to initialize it for operations
on special files, and we already do it as part of the namespace operations
for directories.
Add a dquot_file_open helper that filesystems that support generic quotas
can use to fill in ->open.

Unlike ocfs2, dlmfs has no permanent storage. It can't store off a
cluster stack it is supposed to be using. So it can't specify the stack
name in ocfs2_cluster_connect().
Instead, we create ocfs2_cluster_connect_agnostic(), which simply uses
the stack that is currently enabled. This is find for dlmfs, which will
rely on the stack initialization.
We add the "stackglue" capability to dlmfs's capability list. This lets
userspace know dlmfs can be used with all cluster stacks.

Rather than directly using o2dlm, dlmfs can now use the stackglue. This
allows it to use userspace cluster stacks and fs/dlm. This commit
forces o2cb for now. A latter commit will bump the protocol version and
allow non-o2cb stacks.
This is one big sed, really. LKM_xxMODE becomes DLM_LOCK_xx. LKM_flag
becomes DLM_LKF_flag.
We also learn to check that the LVB is valid before reading it. Any DLM
can lose the contents of the LVB during a complicated recovery. userdlm
should be checking this. Now it does. dlmfs will return 0 from read(2)
if the LVB was invalid.

Inside the stackglue, the locking protocol structure is hanging off of
the ocfs2_cluster_connection. This takes it one further; the locking
protocol is passed into ocfs2_cluster_connect(). Now different cluster
connections can have different locking protocols with distinct asts.
Note that all locking protocols have to keep their maximum protocol
version in lock-step.
With the protocol structure set in ocfs2_cluster_connect(), there is no
need for the stackglue to have a static pointer to a specific protocol
structure. We can change initialization to only pass in the maximum
protocol version.

The stackglue ast and bast functions tried to maintain the fiction that
their arguments were void pointers. In reality, stack_user.c had to
know that the argument was an ocfs2_lock_res in order to get the status
off of the lksb. That's ugly.
This changes stackglue to always pass the lksb as the argument to ast
and bast functions. The caller can always use container_of() to get the
ocfs2_lock_res or user_dlm_lock_res. The net effect to the caller is
zero. They still get back the lockres in their ast. stackglue gets
cleaner, and now can use the lksb itself.

o2dlm's userspace filesystem is an easy way to use the DLM from
userspace. It is intentionally simple. For example, it does not allow
for asynchronous behavior or lock conversion. This is intentional to
keep the interface simple.
Because there is no asynchronous notification, there is no way for a
process holding a lock to know another node needs the lock. This is the
number one complaint of ocfs2_dlmfs users. Turns out, we can solve this
very easily. We add poll() support to ocfs2_dlmfs. When a BAST is
received, the lock's file descriptor will receive POLLIN.
This is trivial to implement. Userdlm already has an appropriate
waitqueue, and the lock knows when it is blocked.
We add the "bast" capability to tell userspace this is available.

Over time, dlmfs has added some features that were not part of the
initial ABI. Unfortunately, some of these features are not detectable
via standard usage. For example, Linux's default poll always returns
POLLIN, so there is no way for a caller of poll(2) to know when dlmfs
added poll support. Instead, we provide this list of new capabilities.
Capabilities is a read-only attribute. We do it as a module parameter
so we can discover it whether dlmfs is built in, loaded, or even not
loaded (via modinfo).
The ABI features are local to this machine's dlmfs mount. This is
distinct from the locking protocol, which is concerned with inter-node
interaction.

ocfs2 can store extended attribute values as large as a single file. It
does this using a standard ocfs2 btree for the large value. However,
the previous code did not handle all error cases cleanly.
There are multiple problems to have.
1) We have trouble allocating space for a new xattr. This leaves us
with an empty xattr.
2) We overwrote an existing local xattr with a value root, and now we
have an error allocating the storage. This leaves us an empty xattr.
where there used to be a value. The value is lost.
3) We have trouble truncating a reused value. This leaves us with the
original entry pointing to the truncated original value. The value
is lost.
4) We have trouble extending the storage on a reused value. This leaves
us with the original value safely in place, but with more storage
allocated when needed.
This doesn't consider storing local xattrs (values that don't require a
btree). Those only fail when the journal fails.
Case (1) is easy. We just remove the xattr we added. We leak the
storage because we can't safely remove it, but otherwise everything is
happy. We'll print a warning about the leak.
Case (4) is easy. We still have the original value in place. We can
just leave the extra storage attached to this xattr. We return the
error, but the old value is untouched. We print a warning about the
storage.
Case (2) and (3) are hard because we've lost the original values. In
the old code, we ended up with values that could be partially read.
That's not good. Instead, we just wipe the xattr entry and leak the
storage. It stinks that the original value is lost, but now there isn't
a partial value to be read. We'll print a big fat warning.

ocfs2_xattr_ibody_set() is the only remaining user of
ocfs2_xattr_set_entry(). ocfs2_xattr_set_entry() actually does two
things: it calls ocfs2_xa_set(), and it initializes the inline xattrs.
Initializing the inline space really belongs in its own call.
We lift the initialization to ocfs2_xattr_ibody_init(), called from
ocfs2_xattr_ibody_set() only when necessary. Now
ocfs2_xattr_ibody_set() can call ocfs2_xa_set() directly.
ocfs2_xattr_set_entry() goes away.

ocfs2_xattr_block_set() calls into ocfs2_xattr_set_entry() with just the
HAS_XATTR flag. Most of the machinery of ocfs2_xattr_set_entry() is
skipped. All that really happens other than the call to ocfs2_xa_set()
is making sure the HAS_XATTR flag is set on the inode.
But HAS_XATTR should be set when we also set di->i_xattr_loc. And
that's done in ocfs2_create_xattr_block(). So let's move it there, and
then ocfs2_xattr_block_set() can just call ocfs2_xa_set().
While we're there, ocfs2_create_xattr_block() can take the set_ctxt for
a smaller argument list. It also learns to set HAS_XATTR_FL, because it
knows for sure. ocfs2_create_empty_xatttr_block() in the reflink path

ocfs2_xa_prepare_entry() gets all the logic to add, remove, or modify

ocfs2_xa_remove() is added to handle the complete removal of an entry.
It truncates the external value tree before calling
ocfs2_xa_remove_entry().
ocfs2_xa_store_inline_value() becomes ocfs2_xa_store_value(). It can
store any value.
ocfs2_xattr_set_entry() loses all the allocation logic and just uses
these functions. ocfs2_xattr_set_value_outside() disappears.
ocfs2_xattr_set_in_bucket() uses these functions and makes
ocfs2_xattr_set_entry_in_bucket() obsolete. That goes away, as does

We create two new functions on ocfs2_xa_loc, ocfs2_xa_prepare_entry()
and ocfs2_xa_store_inline_value().
ocfs2_xa_prepare_entry() makes sure that the xl_entry field of
ocfs2_xa_loc is ready to receive an xattr. The entry will point to an
appropriately sized name+value region in storage. If an existing entry
can be reused, it will be. If no entry already exists, it will be
allocated. If there isn't space to allocate it, -ENOSPC will be
returned.
ocfs2_xa_store_inline_value() stores the data that goes into the 'value'
part of the name+value pair. For values that don't fit directly, this
stores the value tree root.
A number of operations are added to ocfs2_xa_loc_operations to support
these functions. This reflects the disparate behaviors of xattr blocks
and buckets.
With these functions, the overlapping ocfs2_xattr_set_entry_local() and
ocfs2_xattr_set_entry_normal() can be replaced with a single call
scheme.

An ocfs2 xattr entry stores the text name and value as a pair in the
storage area. Obviously names and values can be variable-sized. If a
value is too large for the entry storage, a tree root is stored instead.
The name+value pair is also padded.
Because of this, there are a million places in the code that do:
if (needs_external_tree(value_size)
namevalue_size = pad(name_size) + tree_root_size;
else
namevalue_size = pad(name_size) + pad(value_size);
Let's create some convenience functions to make the code more readable.

an ocfs2_xattr_info structure. The third takes an existing

Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>
The ocfs2 extended attribute (xattr) code is very flexible. It can
store xattrs in the inode itself, in an external block, or in a tree of
data structures. This allows the number of xattrs to be bounded by the
filesystem size.
However, the code that manages each possible storage location is
different. Maintaining the ocfs2 xattr code requires changing each hunk
separately.
This patch is the start of a series introducing the ocfs2_xa_loc
structure. This structure wraps the on-disk details of an xattr
entry. The goal is that the generic xattr routines can use
ocfs2_xa_loc without knowing the underlying storage location.
This first pass merely implements the basic structure, initializing it,
and wiping the name+value pair of the entry.
