Local alloc is a performance optimization in ocfs2 in which a node
takes a window of bits from the global bitmap and then uses that for
all small local allocations. This window size is fixed to 8MB currently.
This patch allows users to specify the window size in MB including
disabling it by passing in 0. If the number specified is too large,
the fs will use the default value of 8MB.
mount -o localalloc=X /dev/sdX /mntpoint

Mostly taken from ext3. This allows the user to set the jbd commit interval,
in seconds. The default of 5 seconds stays the same, but now users can
easily increase the commit interval. Typically, this would be increased in
order to benefit performance at the expense of data-safety.

This value is initialized from global_bitmap->id2.i_chain.cl_cpg. If there
is only 1 group, it will be equal to the total clusters in the volume. So
as for online resize, it should change for all the nodes in the cluster.
It isn't easy and there is no corresponding lock for it.
bitmap_cpg is only used in 2 areas:
1. Check whether the suballoc is too large for us to allocate from the global
bitmap, so it is little used. And now the suballoc size is 2048, it rarely
meet this situation and the check is almost useless.
2. Calculate which group a cluster belongs to. We use it during truncate to
figure out which cluster group an extent belongs too. But we should be OK
if we increase it though as the cluster group calculated shouldn't change
and we only ever have a small bitmap_cpg on file systems with a single
cluster group.

The meta lock now covers both meta data and data, so this just removes the
now-redundant data lock.
Combining locks saves us a round of lock mastery per inode and one less lock
to ping between nodes during read/write.
We don't lose much - since meta locks were always held before a data lock
(and at the same level) ordered writeout mode (the default) ensured that
flushing for the meta data lock also pushed out data anyways.

The node maps that are set/unset by these votes are no longer relevant, thus
we can remove the mount and umount votes. Since those are the last two
remaining votes, we can also remove the entire vote infrastructure.
The vote thread has been renamed to the downconvert thread, and the small
amount of functionality related to managing it has been moved into
fs/ocfs2/dlmglue.c. All references to votes have been removed or updated.

Now that the dlm exposes domain information to us, we don't need generic

For some mount option types, ocfs2_parse_options() will try to access
sb->s_fs_info to get at the ocfs2 private superblock. Unfortunately, that
hasn't been allocated yet and will cause a kernel crash.
Fix this by storing options in a struct which can then get pushed into the
ocfs2_super once it's been allocated later. If we need more options which
store to the ocfs2_super in the future, we can just fields to this struct.

We re-use the RESVSP/UNRESVSP ioctls from xfs which allow the user to
allocate and deallocate regions to a file without zeroing data or changing
i_size.
Though renamed, the structure passed in from user is identical to struct
xfs_flock64. The three fields that are actually used right now are l_whence,
l_start and l_len.
This should get ocfs2 immediate compatibility with userspace software using
the pre-existing xfs ioctls.

I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by
SLAB.
I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.
I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free. That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.
Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code
in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree).
There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.
This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

The extent map code was ripped out earlier because of an inability to deal
with holes. This patch adds back a simpler caching scheme requiring far less
code.
Our old extent map caching was designed back when meta data block caching in
Ocfs2 didn't work very well, resulting in many disk reads. These days our
metadata caching is much better, resulting in no un-necessary disk reads. As
a result, extent caching doesn't have to be as fancy, nor does it have to
cache as many extents. Keeping the last 3 extents seen should be sufficient
to give us a small performance boost on some streaming workloads.

The code in extent_map.c is not prepared to deal with a subtree being
rotated between lookups. This can happen when filling holes in sparse files.
Instead of a lengthy patch to update the code (which would likely lose the
benefit of caching subtree roots), we remove most of the algorithms and
implement a simple path based lookup. A less ambitious extent caching scheme
will be added in a later patch.

Ocfs2 currently does cluster-wide node messaging to check the open state of
an inode during delete. This patch removes that mechanism in favor of an
inode cluster lock which is taken at shared read when an inode is first read
and dropped in clear_inode(). This allows a deleting node to test the
liveness of an inode by attempting to take an exclusive lock.

OCFS2 puts inode meta data in the "lock value block" provided by the DLM.
Typically, i_generation is encoded in the lock name so that a deleted inode
on and a new one in the same block don't share the same lvb.
Unfortunately, that scheme means that the read in ocfs2_read_locked_inode()
is potentially thrown away as soon as the meta data lock is taken - we
cannot encode the lock name without first knowing i_generation, which
requires a disk read.
This patch encodes i_generation in the inode meta data lvb, and removes the
value from the inode meta data lock name. This way, the read can be covered
by a lock, and at the same time we can distinguish between an up to date and
a stale LVB.
This will help cold-cache stat(2) performance in particular.
Since this patch changes the protocol version, we take the opportunity to do
a minor re-organization of two of the LVB fields.

Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock
pointer.
This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of
sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does
require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits
the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.
linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build
successfully.
Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.
This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.
The patch also makes the following changes:
(*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
very little.
(*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
(*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
dentries being left unculled.
However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
with child trees.
[*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
(*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

Rewrap the overly long source code lines resulting from the previous
patch's addition of the slab cache flag SLAB_MEM_SPREAD. This patch
contains only formatting changes, and no function change.

Mark file system inode and similar slab caches subject to SLAB_MEM_SPREAD
memory spreading.
If a slab cache is marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, then anytime that a task that's
in a cpuset with the 'memory_spread_slab' option enabled goes to allocate
from such a slab cache, the allocations are spread evenly over all the
memory nodes (task->mems_allowed) allowed to that task, instead of favoring
allocation on the node local to the current cpu.
The following inode and similar caches are marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD:

The choice of which slab caches to so mark was quite simple. I marked
those already marked SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT, except for fs/xfs, dentry_cache,
inode_cache, and buffer_head, which were marked in a previous patch. Even
though SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT is for a different purpose, it marks the same
potentially large file system i/o related slab caches as we need for memory
spreading.
Given that the rule now becomes "wherever you would have used a
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT slab cache flag before (usually the inode cache), use
the SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag too", this should be easy enough to maintain.
Future file system writers will just copy one of the existing file system
slab cache setups and tend to get it right without thinking.

SLAB_NO_REAP is documented as an option that will cause this slab not to be
reaped under memory pressure. However, that is not what happens. The only
thing that SLAB_NO_REAP controls at the moment is the reclaim of the unused
slab elements that were allocated in batch in cache_reap(). Cache_reap()
is run every few seconds independently of memory pressure.
Could we remove the whole thing? Its only used by three slabs anyways and
I cannot find a reason for having this option.
There is an additional problem with SLAB_NO_REAP. If set then the recovery
of objects from alien caches is switched off. Objects not freed on the
same node where they were initially allocated will only be reused if a
certain amount of objects accumulates from one alien node (not very likely)
or if the cache is explicitly shrunk. (Strangely __cache_shrink does not
check for SLAB_NO_REAP)
Getting rid of SLAB_NO_REAP fixes the problems with alien cache freeing.
