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.

The freeze code has not been looked at a lot recently. Upstream has
moved on, and this is an attempt to catch us back up again. There
is a vfs level interface for the freeze code which can be called
from our (obsolete, but kept for backward compatibility purposes)
sysfs freeze interface. This means freezing this way vs. doing it
from the ioctl should now work in identical fashion.
As a result of this, the freeze function is only called once
and we can drop our own special purpose code for counting the
number of freezes.

These two functions are altered so that gfs2_quota_sync may
in future be called directly from the VFS. The GFS2 superblock
changes to a VFS super block and there is an addition of an int
argument which is currently ignored.

We have a long term plan to use the "-o meta" flag to GFS2 mounts to
access the alternate root which is used to store metadata for a GFS2
filesystem. This will allow us to eventually remove support for the
gfs2meta filesystem type (which is in any case just a "front end" to
the gfs2 filesystem type with the meta/master root).
Currently the "-o meta" option is only taken into account on the
initial mount of the filesystem. Subsequent mounts of the same
filesystem (i.e. on the same device) result in basically the same
as bind mounting the root of the original mount.
This patch changes that by using what is more or less a copy
of get_sb_bdev() and extending it so that it will take into
account the alternate root in all cases. The main difference
is that we have to parse the mount options a bit earlier. We can
then use them to select the appropriate root towards the end of
the function.
In addition this also fixes a bug where it was possible (but certainly
not desirable) to set different ro/rw options for the meta root
when mounted via the gfs2meta fs compared with the original mount.

This has been on my list for some time. We need to change the way
in which we handle extended attributes to allow faster file creation
times (by reducing the number of transactions required) and the
extended attribute code is the main obstacle to this.
In addition to that, the VFS provides a way to demultiplex the xattr
calls which we ought to be using, rather than rolling our own. This
patch changes the GFS2 code to use that VFS feature and as a result
the code shrinks by a couple of hundred lines or so, and becomes
easier to read.
I'm planning on doing further clean up work in this area, but this
patch is a good start. The cleaned up code also uses the more usual
"xattr" shorthand, I plan to eliminate the use of "eattr" eventually
and in the mean time it serves as a flag as to which bits of the code
have been updated.

We already have an offline uevent (used when a withdraw occurs)
but no online uevent. This adds an online uevent so that userspace
will be able to detect a successful mount by means other than
not receiving a remove event after the add & recovery (change)
uevents.
It has also been added to the remount path as well - we can't use
a change uevent there as older GFS2 userspace acts on change uevents
according to the state that it thinks the fs is in, so we can't
easily add any new ones.

GFS2 wasn't syncing its statfs info on grows. This causes a problem
when you grow the filesystem on multiple nodes. GFS2 would calculate
the new space based on the resource groups (which are always current),
and then assume that the filesystem had grown the from the existing
statfs size. If you grew the filesystem on two different nodes in a
short time, the second node wouldn't see the statfs size change from the
first node, and would assume that it was grown by a larger amount than
it was. When all these changes were synced out, the total fileystem
size would be incorrect (the first grow would be counted twice).
This patch syncs makes GFS2 read in the statfs changes from disk before
a grow, and write them out after the grow, while the master statfs inode
is locked.

The following patch fixes an issue relating to remount and argument
parsing. After this fix is applied, remount becomes atomic in that
it either succeeds changing the mount to the new state, or it fails
and leaves it in the old state. Previously it was possible for the
parsing of options to fail part way though and for the fs to be left
in a state where some of the new arguments had been applied, but some
had not.

this a different way.

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.

The functions which are being moved can all be marked
static in their new locations, since they only have
a single caller each. Their new locations are more
logical than before and some of the functions are
small enough that the compiler might well inline them.

gfs2_lock_fs_check_clean() should not be calling gfs2_jindex_hold()
since it doesn't work like rindex hold, despite the comment. That
allows gfs2_jindex_hold() to be moved into ops_fstype.c where it
can be made static.

This patch is intended to fix the issues reported in bz #457798. Instead
of having the metafs as a separate filesystem, it becomes a second root
of gfs2. As a result it will appear as type gfs2 in /proc/mounts, but it
is still possible (for backwards compatibility purposes) to mount it as
type gfs2meta. A new mount flag "meta" is introduced so that its possible
to tell the two cases apart in /proc/mounts.
As a result it becomes possible to mount type gfs2 with -o meta and
get the same result as mounting type gfs2meta. So it is possible to
mount just the metafs on its own. Currently if you do this, its then
impossible to mount the "normal" root of the gfs2 filesystem without
first unmounting the metafs root. I'm not sure if thats a feature or
a bug :-)
Either way, this is a great improvement on the previous scheme and I've
verified that it works ok with bind mounts on both the "normal" root
and the metafs root in various combinations.
There were also a bunch of functions in super.c which didn't belong there,
so this moves them into ops_fstype.c where they can be static. Hopefully
the mount/umount sequence is now more obvious as a result.

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.

This patch fixes some sign issues which were accidentally introduced
into the quota & statfs code during the endianess annotation process.
Also included is a general clean up which moves all of the _host
structures out of gfs2_ondisk.h (where they should not have been to
start with) and into the places where they are actually used (often only
one place). Also those _host structures which are not required any more
are removed entirely (which is the eventual plan for all of them).
The conversion routines from ondisk.c are also moved into the places
where they are actually used, which for almost every one, was just one
single place, so all those are now static functions. This also cleans up
the end of gfs2_ondisk.h which no longer needs the #ifdef __KERNEL__.
The net result is a reduction of about 100 lines of code, many functions
now marked static plus the bug fixes as mentioned above. For good
measure I ran the code through sparse after making these changes to
check that there are no warnings generated.

For some reason we had two different sets of code for reading in the

don't need the temporary buffer for the sb since we already have one

As per comments from Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> this
updates the copyright message to say "version" in full rather than
"v.2". Also incore.h has been updated to remove forward structure
declarations which are not required.
The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added
to it. Also quota.c has been updated so that we now store the
lvb data locally in endian independant format to avoid needing
a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess
conversions are done as required at various points and thus the
conversion routines in lvb.[ch] are no longer required. I've
moved the one remaining constant in lvb.h thats used into lm.h
and removed the unused lvb.[ch].
I have not changed the HIF_ constants. That is left to a later patch
which I hope will unify the gh_flags and gh_iflags fields of the
struct gfs2_holder.

We no longer lookup ".gfs2_admin" in the root directory in order to
find it, but instead use the inode number given in the superblock.
Both the root directory and the admin directory are now looked up using
the same routine, so the redundant code is removed.
Also, there is no longer a reference to the root inode in the
GFS2 super block. When required this can be retreived via
sb->s_root->d_inode instead.
Assuming that we introduce a metadata filesystem type for GFS, then
this is a first step towards that goal.
