Enable removing of corrupted pages through truncation
for a bunch of file systems: ext*, xfs, gfs2, ocfs2, ntfs
These should cover most server needs.
I chose the set of migration aware file systems for this
for now, assuming they have been especially audited.
But in general it should be safe for all file systems
on the data area that support read/write and truncate.
Caveat: the hardware error handler does not take i_mutex
for now before calling the truncate function. Is that ok?

blk_ioctl_discard duplicates large amounts of code from blkdev_issue_discard,
the only difference between the two is that blkdev_issue_discard needs to
send a barrier discard request and blk_ioctl_discard a non-barrier one,
and blk_ioctl_discard needs to wait on the request. To facilitates this
add a flags argument to blkdev_issue_discard to control both aspects of the
behaviour. This will be very useful later on for using the waiting
funcitonality for other callers.

There is a potential race in the inode deallocation code if two
nodes try to deallocate the same inode at the same time. Most of
the issue is solved by the iopen locking. There is still a small
window which is not covered by the iopen lock. This patches fixes
that and also makes the deallocation code more robust in the face of
any errors in the rgrp bitmaps, or erroneous iopen callbacks from
other nodes.
This does introduce one extra disk read, but that is generally not
an issue since its the same block that must be written to later
in the deallocation process. The total disk accesses therefore stay
the same,

The inum structure used throughout GFS2 has two fields. One
no_addr is the disk block number of the inode in question and
is used everywhere as the inode number. The other, no_formal_ino,
is used only as the generation number for NFS.
Historically the no_formal_ino field was set using a complicated
system of one global and one per-node file containing inode numbers
in order to ensure that each no_formal_ino was unique. Also this
code made no provision for what would happen when eventually the
(64 bit) numbers ran out. Now I know that is pretty unlikely to
happen given the large space of numbers, but it is possible
nevertheless.
The only guarantee required for no_formal_ino is that, for any
single inode, the same number doesn't get reused too quickly.
We already have a generation number which is kept in the inode
and initialised from a counter in the resource group (almost
no overhead, since we have to touch the resource group anyway
in order to allocate an inode in the first place). Aside from
ensuring that we never use the value 0 in the no_formal_ino
field, we can use that counter directly.
As a result of that change, we lose about 200 lines of code and
also gain about 10 creates/sec on the postmark benchmark (on
my test machine).

Use the more conventional name for the extended attribute
support code. Update all the places which care.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
This has been on my list for some time. We need to change the way
in which we handle extended attributes to allow faster file creation
times (by reducing the number of transactions required) and the
extended attribute code is the main obstacle to this.
In addition to that, the VFS provides a way to demultiplex the xattr
calls which we ought to be using, rather than rolling our own. This
patch changes the GFS2 code to use that VFS feature and as a result
the code shrinks by a couple of hundred lines or so, and becomes
easier to read.
I'm planning on doing further clean up work in this area, but this
patch is a good start. The cleaned up code also uses the more usual
"xattr" shorthand, I plan to eliminate the use of "eattr" eventually
and in the mean time it serves as a flag as to which bits of the code
have been updated.

This patch adds "-o errors=panic" and "-o errors=withdraw" to the
gfs2 mount options. The "errors=withdraw" option is today's
current behaviour, meaning to withdraw from the file system if a
non-serious gfs2 error occurs. The new "errors=panic" option
tells gfs2 to force a kernel panic if a non-serious gfs2 file
system error occurs. This may be useful, for example, where
fabric-level fencing is used that has no way to reboot (such as
fence_scsi).

this patch is for the same problem that Benjamin Marzinski fixes at commit
b94a170e96
quotation of the original problem:
---cut here---
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.
---end cut---
after applying Benjamin's patch, I think there is still a case in which the disk
inode remains even when "no space" is hit. the case is that when running
d_prune_aliases() against the inode, there are one or more dentries(aliases)
which have reference count number > 0. in this case the dentries won't be pruned.
and even later, the reference count becomes to 0, the dentries can still be
cached in memory. unfortunately, no callback come again, things come back to
the state before the callback runs. thus the on disk inode remains there until
in memoryinode is removed for some other reason(shrinking inode cache or unmount
the volume..).
this patch is to remove those dentries when their reference count becomes to 0 and
the inode is deleted by remote node. for implementation, gfs2_dentry_delete() is
added as dentry_operations.d_delete. the function returns true when the inode is
deleted by remote node. in dput(), gfs2_dentry_delete() is called and since it
returns true, the dentry is unhashed from dcache and then removed. when all dentries
are removed, the in memory inode get removed so that the on disk inode is freed.

GFS2 wasn't syncing its statfs info on grows. This causes a problem
when you grow the filesystem on multiple nodes. GFS2 would calculate
the new space based on the resource groups (which are always current),
and then assume that the filesystem had grown the from the existing
statfs size. If you grew the filesystem on two different nodes in a
short time, the second node wouldn't see the statfs size change from the
first node, and would assume that it was grown by a larger amount than
it was. When all these changes were synced out, the total fileystem
size would be incorrect (the first grow would be counted twice).
This patch syncs makes GFS2 read in the statfs changes from disk before
a grow, and write them out after the grow, while the master statfs inode

During block allocation, it is useful to know if sections of disk
are full on a finer grained basis than a single resource group.
This can make a performance difference when resource groups have
larger numbers of bitmap blocks, since we no longer have to search
them all block by block in each individual bitmap.
The full flag is set on a per-bitmap basis when it has been
searched and found to have no free space. It is then skipped in
subsequent searches until the flag is reset. The resetting
occurs if we have to drop the glock on the resource group for any
reason, or if we deallocate some blocks within that resource
group and thus free up some space.

This is required for a subsequent fix. And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

After calling out to the dlm, GFS2 sets the new state of a glock to
gl_target in gdlm_ast(). However, gl_target is not always the lock
state that was requested. If a conversion from shared to exclusive
fails, finish_xmote() will call do_xmote() with LM_ST_UNLOCKED, instead
of gl->gl_target, so that it can reacquire the lock in exlusive the next
time around. In this case, setting the lock to gl_target in gdlm_ast()
will make GFS2 think that it has the glock in exclusive mode, when
really, it doesn't have the glock locked at all. This patch adds a new
field to the gfs2_glock structure, gl_req, to track the mode that was
requested.

I introduced "is_partially_uptodate" aops for GFS2.
A page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate, some buffers
can be uptodate on pagesize != blocksize environment.
This aops checks that all buffers which correspond to a part of a file
that we want to read are uptodate. If so, we do not have to issue actual
read IO to HDD even if a page is not uptodate because the portion we
want to read are uptodate.
"block_is_partially_uptodate" function is already used by ext2/3/4.
With the following patch random read/write mixed workloads or random read after
random write workloads can be optimized and we can get performance improvement.

This adds a sysfs file called demote_rq to GFS2's
per filesystem directory. Its possible to use this
file to demote arbitrary glocks in exactly the same
way as if a request had come in from a remote node.
This is intended for testing issues relating to caching
of data under glocks. Despite that, the interface is
generic enough to send requests to any type of glock,
but be careful as its not always safe to send an
arbitrary message to an arbitrary glock. For that reason
and to prevent DoS, this interface is restricted to root
only.
The messages look like this:
<type>:<glocknumber> <mode>
Example:
echo -n "2:13324 EX" >/sys/fs/gfs2/unity:myfs/demote_rq
Which means "please demote inode glock (type 2) number 13324 so that
I can get an EX (exclusive) lock". The lock modes are those which
would normally be sent by a remote node in its callback so if you
want to unlock a glock, you use EX, to demote to shared, use SH or PR
(depending on whether you like GFS2 or DLM lock modes better!).
If the glock doesn't exist, you'll get -ENOENT returned. If the
arguments don't make sense, you'll get -EINVAL returned.
The plan is that this interface will be used in combination with
the blktrace patch which I recently posted for comments although
it is, of course, still useful in its own right.

Since we have a UUID, we ought to expose it to the user via sysfs
and uevents. We already have the fs name in both of these places
(a combination of the lock proto and lock table name) so if we add
the UUID as well, we have a full set.
For older filesystems (i.e. those created before mkfs.gfs2 was writing
UUIDs by default) the sysfs file will appear zero length, and no UUID
env var will be added to the uevents.

This patch allows GFS2 to generate discard requests for blocks which are
no longer useful to the filesystem (i.e. those which have been freed as
the result of an unlink operation). The requests are generated at the
time which those blocks become available for reuse in the filesystem.
In order to use this new feature, you have to specify the "discard"
mount option. The code coalesces adjacent blocks into a single extent
when generating the discard requests, thus generating the minimum
number.
If an error occurs when the request has been sent to the block device,
then it will print a message and turn off the requests for that
filesystem. If the problem is temporary, then you can use remount to
turn the option back on again. There is also a nodiscard mount option
so that you can use remount to turn discard requests off, if required.

This patch fixes a deadlock when the journal is flushed and there
are dirty inodes other than the one which caused the journal flush.
Originally the journal flushing code was trying to obtain the
transaction glock while running the flush code for an inode glock.
We no longer require the transaction glock at this point in time
since we know that any attempt to get the transaction glock from
another node will result in a journal flush. So if we are flushing
the journal, we can be sure that the transaction lock is still
cached from when the transaction was started.
By inlining a version of gfs2_trans_begin() (minus the bit which
gets the transaction glock) we can avoid the deadlock problems
caused if there is a demote request queued up on the transaction
glock.
In addition I've also moved the umount rwsem so that it covers
the glock workqueue, since it all demotions are done by this
workqueue now. That fixes a bug on umount which I came across
while fixing the original problem.

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

Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which
suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the
filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and
replication) while it is mounted.
In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature
and it would be used to get the consistent backup.
If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it
without a commercial filesystem.
So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature.
I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps.
1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl.
2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot
with the storage device's feature.
3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl.
4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume
or the snapshot.
This patch:
VFS:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they can return an error.
Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation
freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion.
ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed,
and unlockfs always returns 0.
reiserfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

In order to distinguish between two differing uevent messages
and to avoid using the (racy) method of reading status from
sysfs in future, this adds some status information to our
uevent messages.
Btw, before anybody says "sysfs isn't racy", I'm aware of that,
but the way that GFS2 was using it (send an ambiugous uevent and
then expect the receiver to read sysfs to find out the status
of the reported operation) was.
The additional benefit of using the new interface is that it
should be possible for a node to recover multiple journals
at the same time, since there is no longer any confusion as
to which journal the status belongs to.
At some future stage, when all the userland programs have been
converted, I intend to remove the old interface.

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.

This patch is a clean up of gfs2_quotad prior to giving it an
extra job to do in addition to the current portfolio of updating
the quota and statfs information from time to time.
As a result it has been moved into quota.c allowing one of the
functions it calls to be made static. Also the clean up allows
the two existing functions to have separate timeouts and also
to coexist with its future role of dealing with the "truncate in
progress" inode flag.
The (pointless) setting of gfs2_quotad_secs is removed since we
arrange to only wake up quotad when one of the two timers expires.
In addition the struct gfs2_quota_data is moved into a slab cache,
mainly for easier debugging. It should also be possible to use
a shrinker in the future, rather than the current scheme of scanning
the quota data entries from time to time.

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.
The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).
This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache

This patch adds barrier support to GFS2. There is not a lot of change
really... we just add the barrier flag when we write journal header
blocks. If the underlying device refuses to support them, we fall back
to the previous way of doing things (wait for the I/O and hope) since
there is nothing else we can do. There is no user configuration,
barriers will always be on unless the device refuses to support them.
This seems a reasonable solution to me since this is a correctness
issue.

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.

This patch is intended to fix the issues reported in bz #457798. Instead
of having the metafs as a separate filesystem, it becomes a second root
of gfs2. As a result it will appear as type gfs2 in /proc/mounts, but it
is still possible (for backwards compatibility purposes) to mount it as
type gfs2meta. A new mount flag "meta" is introduced so that its possible
to tell the two cases apart in /proc/mounts.
As a result it becomes possible to mount type gfs2 with -o meta and
get the same result as mounting type gfs2meta. So it is possible to
mount just the metafs on its own. Currently if you do this, its then
impossible to mount the "normal" root of the gfs2 filesystem without
first unmounting the metafs root. I'm not sure if thats a feature or
a bug :-)
Either way, this is a great improvement on the previous scheme and I've
verified that it works ok with bind mounts on both the "normal" root
and the metafs root in various combinations.
There were also a bunch of functions in super.c which didn't belong there,
so this moves them into ops_fstype.c where they can be static. Hopefully
the mount/umount sequence is now more obvious as a result.

This patch removes the "recent list" which is used during allocation

We already allow local SH locks while we hold a cached EX glock, so here
we allow DF locks as well. This works only because we rely on the VFS's
invalidation for locally cached data, and because if we hold an EX lock,
then we know that no other node can be caching data relating to this
file.
It dramatically speeds up initial writes to O_DIRECT files since we fall
back to buffered I/O for this and would otherwise bounce between DF and
EX modes on each and every write call. The lessons to be learned from
that are to ensure that (for the time being anyway) O_DIRECT files are
preallocated and that they are written to using reasonably large I/O
sizes. Even so this change fixes that corner case nicely

GFS2 calls permission() to verify permissions after locks on the files
have been taken.
For this it's sufficient to call gfs2_permission() instead. This
results in the following changes:
- IS_RDONLY() check is not performed
- IS_IMMUTABLE() check is not performed
- devcgroup_inode_permission() is not called
- security_inode_permission() is not called
IS_RDONLY() should be unnecessary anyway, as the per-mount read-only
flag should provide protection against read-only remounts during
operations. do_gfs2_set_flags() has been fixed to perform
mnt_want_write()/mnt_drop_write() to protect against remounting
read-only.
IS_IMMUTABLE has been added to gfs2_permission()
Repeating the security checks seems to be pointless, as they don't
normally change, and if they do, it's independent of the filesystem
state.

is not atomic, but they can do that anyways because there's other paths who

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 fixes Red Hat bugzilla bug 450156.
This started with a not-too-improbable mount failure because the
locking protocol was never set back to its proper "lock_dlm" after the
system was rebooted in the middle of a gfs2_fsck. That left a
(purposely) invalid locking protocol in the superblock, which caused an
error when the file system was mounted the next time.
When there's an error mounting, vfs calls DQUOT_OFF, which calls
vfs_quota_off which calls gfs2_sync_fs. Next, gfs2_sync_fs calls
gfs2_log_flush passing s_fs_info. But due to the error, s_fs_info
had been previously set to NULL, and so we have the kernel oops.
My solution in this patch is to test for the NULL value before passing
it. I tested this patch and it fixes the problem.

The previous attempt to fix the locking in readpage failed due
to the use of a "try lock" which resulted in occasional high
cpu usage during testing (due to repeated tries) and also it
did not resolve all the ordering problems wrt the transaction
lock (although it did solve all the inode lock ordering problems).
This patch avoids the problem by unlocking the page and getting the
locks in the correct order. This means that we have to retest the
page to ensure that it hasn't changed when we relock the page.

This looks like a lot of change, but in fact its not. Mostly its
things moving from one file to another. The change is just that
instead of queuing lock completions and callbacks from the DLM
we now pass them directly to GFS2.
This gives us a net loss of two list heads per glock (a fair
saving in memory) plus a reduction in the latency of delivering
the messages to GFS2, plus we now have one thread fewer as well.

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.

This patch fixes bz 450641.
This patch changes the computation for zero_metapath_length(), which it
renames to metapath_branch_start(). When you are extending the metadata
tree, The indirect blocks that point to the new data block must either
diverge from the existing tree either at the inode, or at the first
indirect block. They can diverge at the first indirect block because the
inode has room for 483 pointers while the indirect blocks have room for
509 pointers, so when the tree is grown, there is some free space in the
first indirect block. What metapath_branch_start() now computes is the
height where the first indirect block for the new data block is located.
It can either be 1 (if the indirect block diverges from the inode) or 2
(if it diverges from the first indirect block).

GFS2 wasn't invalidating its cache before it called into the lock manager
with a request that could potentially drop a lock. This was leaving a
window where the lock could be actually be held by another node, but the
file's page cache would still appear valid, causing coherency problems.
This patch moves the cache invalidation to before the lock manager call
when dropping a lock. It also adds the option to the lock_dlm lock
manager to not use conversion mode deadlock avoidance, which, on a
conversion from shared to exclusive, could internally drop the lock, and
then reacquire in. GFS2 now asks lock_dlm to not do this. Instead, GFS2
manually drops the lock and reacquires it.

We've supported mapping of extents when no block allocation is required
for some time. This patch extends that to mapping of extents when an
allocation has been requested. In that case we try to allocate as many
blocks as are requested, but we might return fewer in case there is
something preventing us from returning the complete amount (e.g. an
already allocated block is in the way).
Currently the only code path which can actually request multiple data
blocks in a single bmap call is the page_mkwrite path and even then it
only happens if there are multiple blocks per page. What this patch does
do however, is merge the allocation requests for metadata (growing the
metadata tree in either height or depth) with the allocation of the data
blocks in the case that both are needed. This results in lower overheads
even in the single block allocation case.
The one thing which we can't handle here at the moment is unstuffing. I
would like to be able to do that, but the problem which arises is that
in order to unstuff one has to get a locked page from the page cache
which results in locking problems in the (usual) case that the caller is
holding the page lock on the page it wishes to map. So that case will
have to be addressed in future patches.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
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.

In the case that we needed to grow the height of the metadata tree

The blocks counter is almost a duplicate of the i_blocks
field in the VFS inode. The only difference is that i_blocks
can be only 32bits long for 32bit arch without large single file
support. Since GFS2 doesn't handle the non-large single file
case (for 32 bit anyway) this adds a new config dependency on
64BIT || LSF. This has always been the case, however we've never
explicitly said so before.
Even if we do add support for the non-LSF case, we will still
not require this field to be duplicated since we will not be
able to access oversized files anyway.
So the net result of all this is that we shave 8 bytes from a gfs2_inode
and get our config deps correct.

This adds a function (currently the only use is during mapping
of already allocated blocks, but watch this space) which iterates
over a number of pointers in a block and returns the extent length.
If the initial pointer is 0 (i.e. unallocated) it will return the
number of unallocated blocks in the extent. If the initial pointer
is allocated, then it returns the number of contiguously allocated
blocks in the extent.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
Rather than having to allocate a single block at a time, this patch
allows the block allocator to allocate an extent. Since there is
no difference (so far as the block allocator is concerned) between
data blocks and indirect blocks, it is posible to allocate a single
extent and for the caller to unrevoke just the blocks required
for indirect blocks.
Currently the only bit of GFS2 to make use of this feature is the
build height function. The intention is that gfs2_block_map will
be changed to make use of this feature in future patches.

By adding an extra argument to gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke we can now
specify an extent length of blocks to unrevoke. This means that
we only need to make one pass through the list for each extent
rather than each block. Currently the only extent length which
is used is 1, but that will change in the future.
Also gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke is removed from gfs2_alloc_meta
since its the only difference between this and gfs2_alloc_data
which is left. This will allow a future patch to merge these
two functions into one (i.e. one call to allocate both data
and metadata in a single extent in the future).

In the common case, we now make a single comparison, rather than calculating

zero when we work out what the new height ought to be.

Simplify page cache zeroing of segments of pages through 3 functions
zero_user_segments(page, start1, end1, start2, end2)
Zeros two segments of the page. It takes the position where to
start and end the zeroing which avoids length calculations and
makes code clearer.
zero_user_segment(page, start, end)
Same for a single segment.
zero_user(page, start, length)
Length variant for the case where we know the length.
We remove the zero_user_page macro. Issues:
1. Its a macro. Inline functions are preferable.
2. The KM_USER0 macro is only defined for HIGHMEM.
Having to treat this special case everywhere makes the
code needlessly complex. The parameter for zeroing is always
KM_USER0 except in one single case that we open code.
Avoiding KM_USER0 makes a lot of code not having to be dealing
with the special casing for HIGHMEM anymore. Dealing with
kmap is only necessary for HIGHMEM configurations. In those
configurations we use KM_USER0 like we do for a series of other
functions defined in highmem.h.
Since KM_USER0 is depends on HIGHMEM the existing zero_user_page
function could not be a macro. zero_user_* functions introduced
here can be be inline because that constant is not used when these
functions are called.
Also extract the flushing of the caches to be outside of the kmap.

This patch allows gfs2 to perform journal recovery even if it is mounted
read-only. Strictly speaking, a read-only mount should not be writing to

read-only mount will fail if we don't recover the dirty journal. Also,
when gfs2 is used as a root filesystem, it will be mounted read-only
before being mounted read-write during the boot sequence. A failed

It is possible to reduce the size of GFS2 inodes by taking the i_alloc
structure out of the gfs2_inode. This patch allocates the i_alloc
structure whenever its needed, and frees it afterward. This decreases
the amount of low memory we use at the expense of requiring a memory
allocation for each page or partial page that we write. A quick test
with postmark shows that the overhead is not measurable and I also note
that OCFS2 use the same approach.
In the future I'd like to solve the problem by shrinking down the size
of the members of the i_alloc structure, but for now, this reduces the
immediate problem of using too much low-memory on x86 and doesn't add
too much overhead.
