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).

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.

GFS2 was placing far too many glocks on the reclaim list that were not good
candidates for freeing up from cache. These locks would sit there and
repeatedly get scanned to see if they could be reclaimed, wasting a lot
of time when there was memory pressure. This fix does more checks on the
locks to see if they are actually likely to be removable from cache.

It is possible for gfs2_shrink_glock_memory() to check a glock for
demotion
that's in the process of being freed by gfs2_glock_put(). In this case,
gfs2_shrink_glock_memory() will acquire a new reference to this glock,
and
then try to free the glock itself when it drops the refernce. To solve
this, gfs2_shrink_glock_memory() just needs to check if the glock is in
the process of being freed, and if so skip it without ever unlocking the
lru_lock.

This patch removes some of the special cases that the shrinker
was trying to deal with. As a result we leave fewer items on
the list and none at all which cannot be demoted. This makes
the list scanning more efficient and solves some issues seen
with large numbers of inodes.

This patch adds the ability to trace various aspects of the GFS2
filesystem. The trace points are divided into three groups,
glocks, logging and bmap. These points have been chosen because
they allow inspection of the major internal functions of GFS2
and they are also generic enough that they are unlikely to need
any major changes as the filesystem evolves.

This patch fixes a race condition where we can receive recovery
requests part way through processing a umount. This was causing
problems since the recovery thread had already gone away.
Looking in more detail at the recovery code, it was really trying
to implement a slight variation on a work queue, and that happens to
align nicely with the recently introduced slow-work subsystem. As a
result I've updated the code to use slow-work, rather than its own home
grown variety of work queue.
When using the wait_on_bit() function, I noticed that the wait function
that was supplied as an argument was appearing in the WCHAN field, so
I've updated the function names in order to produce more meaningful
output.

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.

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
and its passed a number of different tests so far.

There was a use-after-free with the GFS2 super block during
umount. This patch moves almost all of the umount code from
->put_super into ->kill_sb, the only bit that cannot be moved
being the glock hash clearing which has to remain as ->put_super
due to umount ordering requirements. As a result its now obvious
that the kfree is the final operation, whereas before it was
hidden in ->put_super.
Also gfs2_jindex_free is then only referenced from a single file
so thats moved and marked static too.

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.

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.

In the case that a request for a glock arrives right after the
grant reply has arrived, it sometimes means that the gl_tstamp
field hasn't been updated recently enough. The net result is that
the min-hold time for the glock is ignored. If this happens
often enough, it leads to poor performance.
This patch adds an additional test, so that if the reply pending
bit is set on a glock, then it will select the maximum length of
time for the min-hold time, rather than looking at gl_tstamp.

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

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 merges the lock_nolock module into GFS2 itself. As well as removing
some of the overhead of the module, it also means that its now impossible to
build GFS2 without a lock module (which would be a pointless thing to do
anyway).
We also plan to merge lock_dlm into GFS2 in the future, but that is a more
tricky task, and will therefore be a separate patch.

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.

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.

The functions in lm.c were just wrappers which were mostly
only used in one other file. By moving the functions to
the files where they are being used, they can be marked
static and also this will usually result in them being inlined
since they are often only used from one point in the code.
A couple of really trivial functions have been inlined by hand
into the function which called them as it makes the code clearer
to do that.
We also gain from one fewer function call in the glock lock and
unlock paths.

struct pid * manipulations.

This patch optimizes the function gfs2_glmutex_lock.
The basic theory is: Why bother initializing a holder, setting up
wait bits and then waiting on them, if you know the glock can be
yours. So the holder stuff is placed inside the if checking if the
glock is locked. This one needs careful scrutiny because changing
anything to do with locking should strike terror into one's heart.

The issue is indeed UP vs SMP and it is totally random.
spin_is_locked() is a bad assertion because there is no correct answer on UP.
on UP spin_is_locked() has to return either one value or another, always.
This means that in my setup I am lucky enough to trigger the issue and your you
are lucky enough not to.
the patch in attachment removes the bogus calls to BUG_ON and according to David
(in CC and thanks for the long explanation on the problem) we can rely upon
things like lockdep to find problem that might be trying to catch.

The only reason for adding glocks to the journal was to keep track
of which locks required a log flush prior to release. We add a
flag to the glock to allow this check to be made in a simpler way.
This reduces the size of a glock (by 12 bytes on i386, 24 on x86_64)
and means that we can avoid extra work during the journal flush.

The HIF_MUTEX and HIF_PROMOTE flags were set on the glock holders
depending upon which of the two waiters lists they were going to
be queued upon. They were then tested when the holders were taken
off the lists to ensure that the right type of holder was being
dequeued.
Since we are already using separate lists, there doesn't seem a
lot of point having these flags as well, and since setting them
and testing them is in the fast path for locking and unlocking
glock, this patch removes them.

Previously we were doing (write data, wait for data, write metadata, wait
for metadata). After this patch we so (write metadata, write data, wait for
data, wait for metadata) which should be more efficient.
Also I noticed that the drop_bh and xmote_bh functions were almost
identical. In fact the only difference was a single test, and that
test is such that in the drop_bh case, it would always evaluate to
the correct result. As such we can use the xmote_bh functions in
all the places where we were using the drop_bh function and remove
the drop_bh functions.

This call to reclaim glocks is not needed, and in particular we don't want it
in the fast path for locking glocks. The limit was entirely arbitrary anyway
and we can't expect users to adjust things like this, the remaining code will
do the right thing on its own.

Fix a race condition where multiple glock demote requests are sent to
a node back-to-back. This patch does a check inside handle_callback()
to see whether a demote request is in progress. If true, it sets a flag
to make sure run_queue() will loop again to handle the new request,
instead of erronously setting gl_demote_state to a different state.

This patch adds a new flag to the gfs2_holder structure GL_FLOCK.
It is set on holders of glocks representing flocks. This flag is
checked in add_to_queue() and a process is permitted to queue more
than one holder onto a glock if it is set. This solves the issue
of a process not being able to do multiple flocks on the same file.
Through a single descriptor, a process can now promote and demote
flocks. Through multiple descriptors a process can now queue
multiple flocks on the same file. There's still the problem of
a process deadlocking itself (because gfs2 blocking locks are not
interruptible) by queueing incompatible deadlock.

When a lot of IO, with some distributed mmap IO, is run on a GFS2 filesystem in
a cluster, it will deadlock. The reason is that do_no_page() will repeatedly
call gfs2_sharewrite_nopage(), because each node keeps giving up the glock
too early, and is forced to call unmap_mapping_range(). This bumps the
mapping->truncate_count sequence count, forcing do_no_page() to retry. This
patch institutes a minimum glock hold time a tenth a second. This insures
that even in heavy contention cases, the node has enough time to get some
useful work done before it gives up the glock.
A second issue is that when gfs2_glock_dq() is called from within a page fault
to demote a lock, and the associated page needs to be written out, it will
try to acqire a lock on it, but it has already been locked at a higher level.
This patch puts makes gfs2_glock_dq() use the work queue as well, to avoid this
issue. This is the same patch as Steve Whitehouse originally proposed to fix
this issue, execpt that gfs2_glock_dq() now grabs a reference to the glock
before it queues up the work on it.

With this patch, gfs2 glockdump through the debugfs filesystem will only
dump glocks for the specified filesystem instead of all glocks. Also, to
aid debugging, the glock number is dumped in hex instead of decimal.
