Resolves a conflict in gfs2_inode_lookup() between the following commits:
gfs2: Use TRY lock in gfs2_inode_lookup for UNLINKED inodes
gfs2: Mark the remaining process-independent glock holders as GL_NOPID

When a withdraw occurs, ordinary (not system) glocks may not be granted
anymore. Later, when the file system is unmounted, gfs2_gl_hash_clear()
tries to clear out all the glocks, but these un-grantable pending
waiters prevent some glocks from being freed. So the unmount hangs, at
least for its ten-minute timeout period.
This patch takes measures to remove any pending waiters from
the glocks that will never be granted. This allows the unmount to
proceed in a reasonable period of time.

When a gfs2 file system is withdrawn it does iput on its journal to
allow recovery from another cluster node. If it's unable to get a
replacement inode for whatever reason, the journal descriptor would
still be pointing at the evicted inode. So when unmount clears out the
list of journals, it would do a second iput referencing the pointer.
To avoid this, set the inode pointer to NULL.

Before this patch, journal inodes were considered regular inodes,
which meant that instead of evicting them, function iput_final would
just put them on the lru for later processing. If the file system
withdrew for whatever reason, the withdraw would never be seen until
the inode was evicted, which could be indefinitely.
This patch marks all journal inodes as "don't cache" which means
function iput_final will evict them immediately, allowing us to
properly recover the journal on other cluster nodes.

Before this patch, function signal_our_withdraw referenced the journal
inode immediately. But corrupt file systems may have some invalid
journals, in which case our attempt to read it in will withdraw and the
resulting signal_our_withdraw would dereference the NULL value.
This patch adds a check to signal_our_withdraw so that if the journal
has not yet been initialized, it simply returns and does the old-style
withdraw.
Thanks, Andy Price, for his analysis.

Before this patch, sister functions gfs2_make_fs_rw and gfs2_make_fs_ro locked
(held) the freeze glock by calling gfs2_freeze_lock and gfs2_freeze_unlock.
The problem is, not all the callers of gfs2_make_fs_ro should be doing this.
The three callers of gfs2_make_fs_ro are: remount (gfs2_reconfigure),
signal_our_withdraw, and unmount (gfs2_put_super). But when unmounting the
file system we can get into the following circular lock dependency:
deactivate_super
down_write(&s->s_umount); <-------------------------------------- s_umount
deactivate_locked_super
gfs2_kill_sb
kill_block_super
generic_shutdown_super
gfs2_put_super
gfs2_make_fs_ro
gfs2_glock_nq_init sd_freeze_gl
freeze_go_sync
if (freeze glock in SH)
freeze_super (vfs)
down_write(&sb->s_umount); <------- s_umount
This patch moves the hold of the freeze glock outside the two sister rw/ro
functions to their callers, but it doesn't request the glock from
gfs2_put_super, thus eliminating the circular dependency.

Function signal_our_withdraw needs to work on file systems that have been
partially frozen. To do this, it called flush_workqueue(gfs2_freeze_wq).
This this wrong because it waits for *ALL* file systems to be unfrozen, not
just the one we're withdrawing from. It should only wait for the targetted
file system to be unfrozen. Otherwise it would wait until ALL file systems
are thawed before signaling the withdraw.
This patch changes signal_our_withdraw so it calls flush_work() for the target
file system's freeze work (only) to be completed.

When an rindex entry is found to be corrupt, compute_bitstructs() calls
gfs2_consist_rgrpd() which calls gfs2_rgrp_dump() like this:
gfs2_rgrp_dump(NULL, rgd->rd_gl, fs_id_buf);
gfs2_rgrp_dump then dereferences the gl without checking it and we get
BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in gfs2_rgrp_dump+0x28/0x280
because there's no rgrp glock involved while reading the rindex on mount.
Fix this by changing gfs2_rgrp_dump to take an rgrp argument.

This patch adds a new slab for gfs2 transactions. That allows us to
reduce kernel memory fragmentation, have better organization of data
for analysis of vmcore dumps. A new centralized function is added to
free the slab objects, and it exposes use-after-free by giving
warnings if a transaction is freed while it still has bd elements
attached to its buffers or ail lists. We make sure to initialize
those transaction ail lists so we can check their integrity when freeing.
At a later time, we should add a slab initialization function to
make it more efficient, but for this initial patch I wanted to
minimize the impact.

Before this patch, when the logd daemon was forced to withdraw, it
would try to request its journal be recovered by another cluster node.
However, in single-user cases with lock_nolock, there are no other
nodes to recover the journal. Function signal_our_withdraw() was
recognizing the lock_nolock situation, but not until after it had
evicted its journal inode. Since the journal descriptor that points
to the inode was never removed from the master list, when the unmount
occurred, it did another iput on the evicted inode, which resulted in
a BUG_ON(inode->i_state & I_CLEAR).
This patch moves the check for this situation earlier in function
signal_our_withdraw(), which avoids the extra iput, so the unmount
may happen normally.

Function gfs2_log_flush() had a few places where it tried to withdraw
from the file system when errors were encountered. The problem is,
it should delay those withdraws until the log flush lock is no longer
held.
This patch creates a new function just for delayed withdraws for
situations like this. If errors=panic was specified on mount, we
still want to do it the old fashioned way because the panic it does
not help to delay in that situation.

When a node withdraws from a file system, it often leaves its journal
in an incomplete state. This is especially true when the withdraw is
caused by io errors writing to the journal. Before this patch, a
withdraw would try to write a "shutdown" record to the journal, tell
dlm it's done with the file system, and none of the other nodes
know about the problem. Later, when the problem is fixed and the
withdrawn node is rebooted, it would then discover that its own
journal was incomplete, and replay it. However, replaying it at this
point is almost guaranteed to introduce corruption because the other
nodes are likely to have used affected resource groups that appeared
in the journal since the time of the withdraw. Replaying the journal
later will overwrite any changes made, and not through any fault of
dlm, which was instructed during the withdraw to release those
resources.
This patch makes file system withdraws seen by the entire cluster.
Withdrawing nodes dequeue their journal glock to allow recovery.
The remaining nodes check all the journals to see if they are
clean or in need of replay. They try to replay dirty journals, but
only the journals of withdrawn nodes will be "not busy" and
therefore available for replay.
Until the journal replay is complete, no i/o related glocks may be
given out, to ensure that the replay does not cause the
aforementioned corruption: We cannot allow any journal replay to
overwrite blocks associated with a glock once it is held.
The "live" glock which is now used to signal when a withdraw
occurs. When a withdraw occurs, the node signals its withdraw by
dequeueing the "live" glock and trying to enqueue it in EX mode,
thus forcing the other nodes to all see a demote request, by way
of a "1CB" (one callback) try lock. The "live" glock is not
granted in EX; the callback is only just used to indicate a
withdraw has occurred.
Note that all nodes in the cluster must wait for the recovering
node to finish replaying the withdrawing node's journal before
continuing. To this end, it checks that the journals are clean
multiple times in a retry loop.
Also note that the withdraw function may be called from a wide
variety of situations, and therefore, we need to take extra
precautions to make sure pointers are valid before using them in
many circumstances.
We also need to take care when glocks decide to withdraw, since
the withdraw code now uses glocks.
Also, before this patch, if a process encountered an error and
decided to withdraw, if another process was already withdrawing,
the second withdraw would be silently ignored, which set it free
to unlock its glocks. That's correct behavior if the original
withdrawer encounters further errors down the road. But if
secondary waiters don't wait for the journal replay, unlocking
glocks will allow other nodes to use them, despite the fact that
the journal containing those blocks is being replayed. The
replay needs to finish before our glocks are released to other
nodes. IOW, secondary withdraws need to wait for the first
withdraw to finish.
For example, if an rgrp glock is unlocked by a process that didn't
wait for the first withdraw, a journal replay could introduce file
system corruption by replaying a rgrp block that has already been
granted to a different cluster node.

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.

Before this patch, if a glock error was encountered, the glock with
the problem was dumped. But sometimes you may have lots of file systems

of functions. For non-error cases, such as dumping the glocks debugfs

Before this patch, multi-block reservation structures were allocated

need the special slab and the extra time it takes to allocate and
deallocate from it. (b) we no longer need to worry that the structure

This patch basically reverts the majority of patch 5407e24.
That patch eliminated the gfs2_qadata structure in favor of just
using the reservations structure. The problem with doing that is that
it increases the size of the reservations structure. That is not an
issue until it comes time to fold the reservations structure into the
inode in memory so we know it's always there. By separating out the
quota structure again, we aren't punishing the non-quota users by
making all the inodes bigger, requiring more slab space. This patch
creates a new slab area to allocate the quota stuff so it's managed
a little more sanely.

Prior to this patch, we have two ways of sending i/o to the log.
One of those is used when we need to allocate both the data
to be written itself and also a buffer head to submit it. This
is done via sb_getblk and friends. This is used mostly for writing
log headers.
The other method is used when writing blocks which have some
in-place counterpart. This is the case for all the metadata
blocks which are journalled, and when journaled data is in use,
for unescaped journalled data blocks.
This patch replaces both of those two methods, and about half
a dozen separate i/o submission points with a single i/o
submission function. We also go direct to bio rather than
using buffer heads, since this allows us to build i/o
requests of the maximum size for the block device in
question. It also reduces the memory required for flushing
the log, which can be very useful in low memory situations.

In order to ensure that we've got enough buffer heads for flushing
the journal, the orignal code used __GFP_NOFAIL when performing
this allocation. Here we dispense with that in favour of using a
mempool. This should improve efficiency in low memory conditions
since flushing the journal is a good way to get memory back, we
don't want to be spinning, waiting on memory allocations. The
buffers which are allocated via this mempool are fairly short lived,
so that we'll recycle them pretty quickly.
Although there are other memory allocations which occur during the
journal flush process, this is the one which can potentially require
the most memory, so the most important one to fix.
The amount of memory reserved is a fixed amount, and we should not need
to scale it when there are a greater number of filesystems in use.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Since the start of GFS2, an "extra" inode has been used to store
the metadata belonging to each inode. The only reason for using
this inode was to have an extra address space, the other fields
were unused. This means that the memory usage was rather inefficient.
The reason for keeping each inode's metadata in a separate address
space is that when glocks are requested on remote nodes, we need to
be able to efficiently locate the data and metadata which relating
to that glock (inode) in order to sync or sync and invalidate it
(depending on the remotely requested lock mode).
This patch adds a new type of glock, which has in addition to
its normal fields, has an address space. This applies to all
inode and rgrp glocks (but to no other glock types which remain
as before). As a result, we no longer need to have the second
inode.
This results in three major improvements:
1. A saving of approx 25% of memory used in caching inodes
2. A removal of the circular dependency between inodes and glocks
3. No confusion between "normal" and "metadata" inodes in super.c
Although the first of these is the more immediately apparent, the
second is just as important as it now enables a number of clean
ups at umount time. Those will be the subject of future patches.
