Linus Torvalds b6e3224fb2 Revert "task_struct: make journal_info conditional"
This reverts commit e4c570c4cb, as
requested by Alexey:

 "I think I gave a good enough arguments to not merge it.
  To iterate:
   * patch makes impossible to start using ext3 on EXT3_FS=n kernels
     without reboot.
   * this is done only for one pointer on task_struct"

  None of config options which define task_struct are tristate directly
  or effectively."

Christoph Hellwig 431547b3c4 sanitize xattr handler prototypes
Add a flags argument to struct xattr_handler and pass it to all xattr
handler methods.  This allows using the same methods for multiple
handlers, e.g. for the ACL methods which perform exactly the same action
for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying
attribute.  With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the
methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and
jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch.

Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow
using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later,
e.g. cifs.

Steven Whitehouse 26bb7505cf GFS2: Fix glock refcount issues
This patch fixes some ref counting issues. Firstly by moving
the point at which we drop the ref count after a dlm lock
operation has completed we ensure that we never call
gfs2_glock_hold() on a lock with a zero ref count.

Secondly, by using atomic_dec_and_lock() in gfs2_glock_put()
we ensure that at no time will a glock with zero ref count
appear on the lru_list. That means that we can remove the
check for this in our shrinker (which was racy).

Benjamin Marzinski 9ae3c6de69 GFS2: drop rindex glock to refresh rindex list
When a gfs2 filesystem is grown, it needs to rebuild the rindex list to be able
to use the new space.  gfs2 does this when the rindex is marked not uptodate,
which happens when the rindex glock is dropped.  However, on a single node
setup, there is never any reason to drop the rindex glock, so gfs2 never
invalidates the the rindex. This patch makes gfs2 automatically drop the
rindex glock after filesystem grows, so it can refresh the rindex list.

Steven Whitehouse 0ab7d13fcb GFS2: Tag all metadata with jid
There are two spare field in the header common to all GFS2
metadata. One is just the right size to fit a journal id
in it, and this patch updates the journal code so that each
time a metadata block is modified, we tag it with the journal
id of the node which is performing the modification.

The reason for this is that it should make it much easier to
debug issues which arise if we can tell which node was the
last to modify a particular metadata block.

Since the field is updated before the block is written into
the journal, each journal should only contain metadata which
is tagged with its own journal id. The one exception to this
is the journal header block, which might have a different node's
id in it, if that journal was recovered by another node in the
cluster.

Thus each journal will contain a record of which nodes recovered
it, via the journal header.

The other field in the metadata header could potentially be
used to hold information about what kind of operation was
performed, but for the time being we just zero it on each
transaction so that if we use it for that in future, we'll
know that the information (where it exists) is reliable.

I did consider using the other field to hold the journal
sequence number, however since in GFS2's journaling we write
the modified data into the journal and not the original
data, this gives no information as to what action caused the
modification, so I think we can probably come up with a better
use for those 64 bits in the future.

GFS2 now has three new mount options, statfs_quantum, quota_quantum and
statfs_percent.  statfs_quantum and quota_quantum simply allow you to
set the tunables of the same name.  Setting setting statfs_quantum to 0
will also turn on the statfs_slow tunable.  statfs_percent accepts an
integer between 0 and 100.  Numbers between 1 and 100 will cause GFS2 to
do any early sync when the local number of blocks free changes by at
least statfs_percent from the totoal number of blocks free.  Setting
statfs_percent to 0 disables this.

Steven Whitehouse f55073ff1e GFS2: Fix -o meta mounts for subsequent mounts (i.e. all but the first one)
We have a long term plan to use the "-o meta" flag to GFS2 mounts to
access the alternate root which is used to store metadata for a GFS2
filesystem. This will allow us to eventually remove support for the
gfs2meta filesystem type (which is in any case just a "front end" to
the gfs2 filesystem type with the meta/master root).

Currently the "-o meta" option is only taken into account on the
initial mount of the filesystem. Subsequent mounts of the same
filesystem (i.e. on the same device) result in basically the same
as bind mounting the root of the original mount.

This patch changes that by using what is more or less a copy
of get_sb_bdev() and extending it so that it will take into
account the alternate root in all cases. The main difference
is that we have to parse the mount options a bit earlier. We can
then use them to select the appropriate root towards the end of
the function.

In addition this also fixes a bug where it was possible (but certainly
not desirable) to set different ro/rw options for the meta root
when mounted via the gfs2meta fs compared with the original mount.

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.

Steven Whitehouse acf7e2444a GFS2: Be extra careful about deallocating inodes
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,

Steven Whitehouse 8d8291ae93 GFS2: Remove no_formal_ino generating code
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).

Steven Whitehouse 307cf6e63c GFS2: Rename eattr.[ch] as xattr.[ch]
Use the more conventional name for the extended attribute
support code. Update all the places which care.

Steven Whitehouse 40b78a3223 GFS2: Clean up of extended attribute support
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.

Bob Peterson d34843d0c4 GFS2: Add "-o errors=panic|withdraw" mount options
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).

Also a gfs2_glock_dq() is required here.
