This patch fixes a GFS2 problem whereby the first rename after a
mount can result in a file system consistency error being flagged
improperly and cause the file system to withdraw. The problem is
that the rename code tries to run the rgrp list with function
gfs2_blk2rgrpd before the rgrp list is guaranteed to be read in
from disk. The patch makes the rename function hold the rindex
glock (as the gfs2_unlink code does today) which reads in the rgrp
list if need be. There were a total of three places in the rename
code that improperly referenced the rgrp list without the rindex
glock and this patch fixes all three.

This patch adds support for fallocate to gfs2. Since the gfs2 does not support
uninitialized data blocks, it must write out zeros to all the blocks. However,
since it does not need to lock any pages to read from, gfs2 can write out the
zero blocks much more efficiently. On a moderately full filesystem, fallocate
works around 5 times faster on average. The fallocate call also allows gfs2 to
add blocks to the file without changing the filesize, which will make it
possible for gfs2 to preallocate space for the rindex file, so that gfs2 can
grow a completely full filesystem.

This patch fixes a couple gfs2 problems with the reclaiming of
unlinked dinodes. First, there were a couple of livelocks where
everything would come to a halt waiting for a glock that was
seemingly held by a process that no longer existed. In fact, the
process did exist, it just had the wrong pid number in the holder
information. Second, there was a lock ordering problem between
inode locking and glock locking. Third, glock/inode contention
could sometimes cause inodes to be improperly marked invalid by
iget_failed.

ince gfs2 writes the rindex file a block at a time, and releases the
exclusive lock after each block, it is possible that another process
will grab the lock in the middle of the write. Since rindex entries are
not an even divisor of blocks, that other process may see partial
entries. On grows, this is fine. The process can simply ignore the the
partial entires. Previously, the code withdrew when it saw partial
entries. Now it simply ignores them.

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,

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).

During block allocation, it is useful to know if sections of disk
are full on a finer grained basis than a single resource group.
This can make a performance difference when resource groups have
larger numbers of bitmap blocks, since we no longer have to search
them all block by block in each individual bitmap.
The full flag is set on a per-bitmap basis when it has been
searched and found to have no free space. It is then skipped in
subsequent searches until the flag is reset. The resetting
occurs if we have to drop the glock on the resource group for any
reason, or if we deallocate some blocks within that resource
group and thus free up some space.

but this patch changes that so that we return -EIO and print
some messages explaining what went wrong, and how to fix it.
We also remember locally not to try and allocate from the
same rgrp again, so that a subsequent allocation in a
different rgrp should succeed.

GFS2 has a goal block associated with each inode indicating the
search start position for future block allocations (in fact there
are two, but thats for backward compatibility with GFS1 as they
are set to identical locations in GFS2).
In some circumstances, depending on the ordering of updates to
the inode it was possible for the goal block settings to not
be updated on disk. This patch ensures that the goal block will
always get updated, thus reducing the potential for searching
the same (already allocated) blocks again when looking for free
space during block allocation.

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 allows GFS2 to generate discard requests for blocks which are
no longer useful to the filesystem (i.e. those which have been freed as
the result of an unlink operation). The requests are generated at the
time which those blocks become available for reuse in the filesystem.
In order to use this new feature, you have to specify the "discard"
mount option. The code coalesces adjacent blocks into a single extent
when generating the discard requests, thus generating the minimum
number.
If an error occurs when the request has been sent to the block device,
then it will print a message and turn off the requests for that
filesystem. If the problem is temporary, then you can use remount to
turn the option back on again. There is also a nodiscard mount option
so that you can use remount to turn discard requests off, if required.

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

We've supported mapping of extents when no block allocation is required
for some time. This patch extends that to mapping of extents when an
allocation has been requested. In that case we try to allocate as many
blocks as are requested, but we might return fewer in case there is
something preventing us from returning the complete amount (e.g. an
already allocated block is in the way).
Currently the only code path which can actually request multiple data
blocks in a single bmap call is the page_mkwrite path and even then it
only happens if there are multiple blocks per page. What this patch does
do however, is merge the allocation requests for metadata (growing the
metadata tree in either height or depth) with the allocation of the data
blocks in the case that both are needed. This results in lower overheads
even in the single block allocation case.
The one thing which we can't handle here at the moment is unstuffing. I
would like to be able to do that, but the problem which arises is that
in order to unstuff one has to get a locked page from the page cache
which results in locking problems in the (usual) case that the caller is
holding the page lock on the page it wishes to map. So that case will
have to be addressed in future patches.

Rather than having to allocate a single block at a time, this patch
allows the block allocator to allocate an extent. Since there is
no difference (so far as the block allocator is concerned) between
data blocks and indirect blocks, it is posible to allocate a single
extent and for the caller to unrevoke just the blocks required

Currently the only bit of GFS2 to make use of this feature is the
build height function. The intention is that gfs2_block_map will
be changed to make use of this feature in future patches.
