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.

When there is a lot of multithreaded I/O usage, two threads can collide
while sending out a message to the other nodes. This is due to the lack of
locking between threads while sending out the messages.
When a connected TCP send(), sendto(), or sendmsg() arrives in the Linux
kernel, it eventually comes through tcp_sendmsg(). tcp_sendmsg() protects
itself by acquiring a lock at invocation by calling lock_sock().
tcp_sendmsg() then loops over the buffers in the iovec, allocating
associated sk_buff's and cache pages for use in the actual send. As it does
so, it pushes the data out to tcp for actual transmission. However, if one
of those allocation fails (because a large number of large sends is being
processed, for example), it must wait for memory to become available. It
does so by jumping to wait_for_sndbuf or wait_for_memory, both of which
eventually cause a call to sk_stream_wait_memory(). sk_stream_wait_memory()
contains a code path that calls sk_wait_event(). Finally, sk_wait_event()
contains the call to release_sock().
The following patch adds a lock to the socket container in order to
properly serialize outbound requests.

There is a small window where a joining node may not see the node(s) that
just died but are still part of the domain. To fix this, we must disallow
join requests if the joining node has a different node map.
A new field node_map is added to dlm_query_join_request to send the current
nodes nodemap along with join request. On the receiving end the nodes that
are part of the cluster verifies if this new node sees all the nodes that
are still part of the cluster. They disallow the join if the maps mismatch.

Currently o2net allows one handler function per message type. This
patch adds the ability to call another function to be called after
the handler has returned the message to the other node.
Handlers are now given the option of returning a context (in the form of a
void **) which will be passed back into the post message handler function.

This was previously broken and migration of some locks had to be temporarily
disabled. We use a new (and backward-incompatible) set of network messages
to account for all references to a lock resources held across the cluster.
once these are all freed, the master node may then free the lock resource
memory once its local references are dropped.

Modify the OCFS2 handshake to ensure essential timeouts are configured
identically on all nodes.
Only allow changes when there are no connected peers
Improves the logic in o2net_advance_rx() which broke now that
sizeof(struct o2net_handshake) is greater than sizeof(struct o2net_msg)
Included is the field for userspace-heartbeat timeout to avoid the need for
further protocol changes.
Uses a global spinlock to ensure the decisions to update configfs entries
are made on the correct value. The region covered by the spinlock when
incrementing the counter is much larger as this is the more critical case.

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.
