This patch fixes a bug in which function gfs2_log_flush can get into
an infinite loop when a gfs2 file system is withdrawn. The problem
is the infinite loop "for (;;)" in gfs2_log_flush which would never
finish because the io error and subsequent withdraw prevented the
items from being taken off the ail list.
This patch tries to clean up the mess by allowing withdraw situations
to move not-in-flight buffer_heads to the ail2 list, where they will
be dealt with later.

File system withdraws can be delayed when inconsistencies are
discovered when we cannot withdraw immediately, for example, when
critical spin_locks are held. But delaying the withdraw can cause
gfs2 to ignore the error and keep running for a short period of time.
For example, an rgrp glock may be dequeued and demoted while there
are still buffers that haven't been properly revoked, due to io
errors writing to the journal.
This patch introduces a new concept of a pending withdraw, which
means an inconsistency has been discovered and we need to withdraw
at the earliest possible opportunity. In these cases, we aren't
quite withdrawn yet, but we still need to not dequeue glocks and
other critical things. If we dequeue the glocks and the withdraw
results in our journal being replayed, the replay could overwrite
data that's been modified by a different node that acquired the
glock in the meantime.

This reverts commit e955537e32.
Before patch e955537e32, tr_num_revoke tracked the number of revokes
added to the transaction, and tr_num_revoke_rm tracked how many
revokes were removed. But since revokes are queued off the sdp
(superblock) pointer, some transactions could remove more revokes
than they added. (e.g. revokes added by a different process).
Commit e955537e32 eliminated transaction variable tr_num_revoke_rm,
but in order to do so, it changed the accounting to always use
tr_num_revoke for its math. Since you can remove more revokes than
you add, tr_num_revoke could now become a negative value.
This negative value broke the assert in function gfs2_trans_end:
if (gfs2_assert_withdraw(sdp, (nbuf <=3D tr->tr_blocks) &&
(tr->tr_num_revoke <=3D tr->tr_revokes)))
One way to fix this is to simply remove the tr_num_revoke clause
from the assert and allow the value to become negative. Andreas
didn't like that idea, so instead, we decided to revert e955537e32.

Before this patch, when a node withdrew a gfs2 file system, it
wrote a (clean) unmount log header. That's wrong. You don't want
to write anything to the journal once you're withdrawn because
that's acknowledging that the transaction is complete and the
journal is in good shape, neither of which may be a valid
assumption when the file system is withdrawn. This is especially
true if the withdraw was caused due to io errors writing to the
journal in the first place. The best course of action is to leave
the journal "as is" until it may be safely replayed during
journal recovery, regardless of whether it's done by this node or
another.

Before this patch, an IO error encountered in function gfs2_ail1_flush
would cause a deadlock: because of the io error (and its resulting
withdrawn state), buffers stopped being written to the journal.
Buffers would remain on the ail1 list, so gfs2_ail1_start_one would
return 1 to indicate dirty buffers were still on the ail1 list.
However, when function gfs2_ail1_flush got a non-zero return code,
it would goto restart to retry the writes, which meant it would never
finish, and thus the infinite loop.

Function gfs2_write_log_header can be used to write a log header into any of
the journals of a filesystem. When used on the node's own journal,
gfs2_write_log_header advances the current position in the log
(sdp->sd_log_flush_head) as a side effect, through function gfs2_log_bmap.
This is confusing, and it also means that we can't use gfs2_log_bmap for other
journals even if they have an extent map. So clean this mess up by not
advancing sdp->sd_log_flush_head in gfs2_write_log_header or gfs2_log_bmap
anymore and making that a responsibility of the callers instead.
This is related to commit 7c70b89695 ("gfs2: clean_journal improperly set
sd_log_flush_head").

For its journal processing, gfs2 kept track of the number of buffers
added and removed on a per-transaction basis. These values are used
to calculate space needed in the journal. But while these calculations
make sense for the number of buffers, they make no sense for revokes.
Revokes are managed in their own list, linked from the superblock.
So it's entirely unnecessary to keep separate per-transaction counts
for revokes added and removed. A single count will do the same job.
Therefore, this patch combines the transaction revokes into a single
count.

The gl_revokes value determines how many outstanding revokes a glock has
on the superblock revokes list; this is used to avoid unnecessary log
flushes. However, gl_revokes is only ever tested for being zero, and it's
only decremented in revoke_lo_after_commit, which removes all revokes
from the list, so we know that the gl_revoke values of all the glocks on
the list will reach zero. Therefore, we can replace gl_revokes with a
bit flag. This saves an atomic counter in struct gfs2_glock.

This patch has to do with the life cycle of glocks and buffers. When
gfs2 metadata or journaled data is queued to be written, a gfs2_bufdata
object is assigned to track the buffer, and that is queued to various
lists, including the glock's gl_ail_list to indicate it's on the active
items list. Once the page associated with the buffer has been written,
it is removed from the ail list, but its life isn't over until a revoke
has been successfully written.
So after the block is written, its bufdata object is moved from the
glock's gl_ail_list to a file-system-wide list of pending revokes,
sd_log_le_revoke. At that point the glock still needs to track how many
revokes it contributed to that list (in gl_revokes) so that things like
glock go_sync can ensure all the metadata has been not only written, but
also revoked before the glock is granted to a different node. This is
to guarantee journal replay doesn't replay the block once the glock has
been granted to another node.
Ross Lagerwall recently discovered a race in which an inode could be
evicted, and its glock freed after its ail list had been synced, but
while it still had unwritten revokes on the sd_log_le_revoke list. The
evict decremented the glock reference count to zero, which allowed the
glock to be freed. After the revoke was written, function
revoke_lo_after_commit tried to adjust the glock's gl_revokes counter
and clear its GLF_LFLUSH flag, at which time it referenced the freed
glock.
This patch fixes the problem by incrementing the glock reference count
in gfs2_add_revoke when the glock's first bufdata object is moved from
the glock to the global revokes list. Later, when the glock's last such
bufdata object is freed, the reference count is decremented. This
guarantees that whichever process finishes last (the revoke writing or
the evict) will properly free the glock, and neither will reference the
glock after it has been freed.

This patch fixes regressions in 588bff95c9.
Due to that patch, function clean_journal was setting the value of
sd_log_flush_head, but that's only valid if it is replaying the node's
own journal. If it's replaying another node's journal, that's completely
wrong and will lead to multiple problems. This patch tries to clean up
the mess by passing the value of the logical journal block number into
gfs2_write_log_header so the function can treat non-owned journals
generically. For the local journal, the journal extent map is used for
best performance. For other nodes from other journals, new function
gfs2_lblk_to_dblk is called to figure it out using gfs2_iomap_get.
This patch also tries to establish more consistency when passing journal
block parameters by changing several unsigned int types to a consistent

Before this patch, there was a lot of code redundancy between functions
log_write_header (which uses bio) and clean_journal (which uses
buffer_head). This patch reduces the redundancy to simplify the code
and make log header writing more consistent. We want more consistency
and reduced redundancy because we plan to add a bunch of new fields
to improve performance (by eliminating the local statfs and quota files)
improve metadata integrity (by adding new crcs and such) and for better
debugging (by adding new fields to track when and where metadata was
pushed through the journals.) We don't want to duplicate setting these
new fields, nor allow for human error in the process.
This reduction in code redundancy is accomplished by introducing a new
helper function, gfs2_write_log_header which uses bio rather than bh.
That simplifies recovery function clean_journal() to use the new helper
function and iomap rather than redundancy and block_map (and eventually
we can maybe remove block_map). It also reduces our dependency on
buffer_heads.

Before this patch, if GFS2 encountered IO errors while writing to
the journal, it would not report the problem, so they would go
unnoticed, sometimes for many hours. Sometimes this would only be
noticed later, when recovery tried to do journal replay and failed
due to invalid metadata at the blocks that resulted in IO errors.
This patch makes GFS2's log daemon check for IO errors. If it
encounters one, it withdraws from the file system and reports
why in dmesg. A similar action is taken when IO errors occur when
writing to the system statfs file.
These errors are also reported back to any callers of fsync, since
that requires the journal to be flushed. Therefore, any IO errors
that would previously go unnoticed are now noticed and the file
system is withdrawn as early as possible, thus preventing further
file system damage.
Also note that this reintroduces superblock variable sd_log_error,
which Christoph removed with commit f729b66fca.

On systems with low memory, it is possible for gfs2 to infinitely
loop in balance_dirty_pages() under heavy IO (creating sparse files).
balance_dirty_pages() attempts to write out the dirty pages via
gfs2_writepages() but none are found because these dirty pages are
being used by the journaling code in the ail. Normally, the journal
has an upper threshold which when hit triggers an automatic flush
of the ail. But this threshold can be higher than the number of
allowable dirty pages and result in the ail never being flushed.
This patch forces an ail flush when gfs2_writepages() fails to write
anything. This is a good indication that the ail might be holding

Commit b685d3d65a "block: treat REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH as
synchronous" removed REQ_SYNC flag from WRITE_{FUA|PREFLUSH|...}
definitions. generic_make_request_checks() however strips REQ_FUA and
REQ_PREFLUSH flags from a bio when the storage doesn't report volatile
write cache and thus write effectively becomes asynchronous which can
lead to performance regressions
Fix the problem by making sure all bios which are synchronous are
properly marked with REQ_SYNC.

1. Andy Price submitted a patch to make gfs2_write_full_page a
static function.
2. Dan Carpenter submitted a patch to fix a ERR_PTR thinko.
I've also got a few patches, three of which fix bugs related to
deleting very large files, which cause GFS2 to run out of
journal space:
3. The first one prevents GFS2 delete operation from requesting too
much journal space.
4. The second one fixes a problem whereby GFS2 can hang because it
wasn't taking journal space demand into its calculations.
5. The third one wakes up IO waiters when a flush is done to restart
processes stuck waiting for journal space to become available.
The other three patches are a performance improvement related to
spin_lock contention between multiple writers:
6. The "tr_touched" variable was switched to a flag to be more atomic
and eliminate the possibility of some races.
7. Function meta_lo_add was moved inline with its only caller to make
the code more readable and efficient.
8. Contention on the gfs2_log_lock spinlock was greatly reduced by
avoiding the lock altogether in cases where we don't really need
it: buffers that already appear in the appropriate metadata list
for the journal. Many thanks to Steve Whitehouse for the ideas and
principles behind these patches.

Before this patch, if a process called function gfs2_log_reserve to
reserve some journal blocks, but the journal not enough blocks were
free, it would call io_schedule. However, in the log flush daemon,
it woke up the waiters only if an gfs2_ail_flush was no longer
required. This resulted in situations where processes would wait
forever because the number of blocks required was so high that it
pushed the journal into a perpetual state of flush being required.
This patch changes the logd daemon so that it wakes up io waiters
every time the log is actually flushed.

Before this patch, the logd daemon only tried to flush things when
the log blocks pinned exceeded a certain threshold. But when we're
deleting very large files, it may require a huge number of journal
blocks, and that, in turn, may exceed the threshold. This patch
factors that into account.

When gfs2 was unmounting filesystems or changing them to read-only it
was clearing the SDF_JOURNAL_LIVE bit before the final log flush. This
caused a race. If an inode glock got demoted in the gap between
clearing the bit and the shutdown flush, it would be unable to reserve
log space to clear out the active items list in inode_go_sync, causing an
error in inode_go_inval because the glock was still dirty.
To solve this, the SDF_JOURNAL_LIVE bit is now cleared inside the
shutdown log flush. This means that, because of the locking on the log
blocks, either inode_go_sync will be able to reserve space to clean the
glock before the shutdown flush, or the shutdown flush will clean the
glock itself, before inode_go_sync fails to reserve the space. Either
way, the glock will be clean before inode_go_inval.

The current gfs2 freezing code is considerably more complicated than it
should be because it doesn't use the vfs freezing code on any node except
the one that begins the freeze. This is because it needs to acquire a
cluster glock before calling the vfs code to prevent a deadlock, and
without the new freeze_super and thaw_super hooks, that was impossible. To
deal with the issue, gfs2 had to do some hacky locking tricks to make sure
that a frozen node couldn't be holding on a lock it needed to do the
unfreeze ioctl.
This patch makes use of the new hooks to simply the gfs2 locking code. Now,
all the nodes in the cluster freeze and thaw in exactly the same way. Every
node in the cluster caches the freeze glock in the shared state. The new
freeze_super hook allows the freezing node to grab this freeze glock in
the exclusive state without first calling the vfs freeze_super function.
All the nodes in the cluster see this lock change, and call the vfs
freeze_super function. The vfs locking code guarantees that the nodes can't
get stuck holding the glocks necessary to unfreeze the system. To
unfreeze, the freezing node uses the new thaw_super hook to drop the freeze
glock. Again, all the nodes notice this, reacquire the glock in shared mode
and call the vfs thaw_super function.

GFS2 has a transaction glock, which must be grabbed for every
transaction, whose purpose is to deal with freezing the filesystem.
Aside from this involving a large amount of locking, it is very easy to
make the current fsfreeze code hang on unfreezing.
This patch rewrites how gfs2 handles freezing the filesystem. The
transaction glock is removed. In it's place is a freeze glock, which is
cached (but not held) in a shared state by every node in the cluster
when the filesystem is mounted. This lock only needs to be grabbed on
freezing, and actions which need to be safe from freezing, like
recovery.
When a node wants to freeze the filesystem, it grabs this glock
exclusively. When the freeze glock state changes on the nodes (either
from shared to unlocked, or shared to exclusive), the filesystem does a
special log flush. gfs2_log_flush() does all the work for flushing out
the and shutting down the incore log, and then it tries to grab the
freeze glock in a shared state again. Since the filesystem is stuck in
gfs2_log_flush, no new transaction can start, and nothing can be written
to disk. Unfreezing the filesytem simply involes dropping the freeze
glock, allowing gfs2_log_flush() to grab and then release the shared
lock, so it is cached for next time.
However, in order for the unfreezing ioctl to occur, gfs2 needs to get a
shared lock on the filesystem root directory inode to check permissions.
If that glock has already been grabbed exclusively, fsfreeze will be
unable to get the shared lock and unfreeze the filesystem.
In order to allow the unfreeze, this patch makes gfs2 grab a shared lock
on the filesystem root directory during the freeze, and hold it until it
unfreezes the filesystem. The functions which need to grab a shared
lock in order to allow the unfreeze ioctl to be issued now use the lock
grabbed by the freeze code instead.
The freeze and unfreeze code take care to make sure that this shared
lock will not be dropped while another process is using it.

Upstream commit 34cc178 changed a line of code from calling function
log_flush_commit to calling log_write_header. This had the effect of
eliminating a call to function log_flush_wait. That causes the journal
to skip over log headers, which results in multiple wrap points,
which itself leads to infinite loops in journal replay, both in the
kernel code and fsck.gfs2 code. This patch re-adds that call.
