This patch fixes buffer_head double free in following code path:
gfs2_block_map
=> gfs2_meta_inode_buffer
=> gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer
=> gfs2_meta_read
=> release_metapath
gfs2_block_map calls gfs2_meta_inode_buffer with &mp.mp_bh[0]
as an argument. mp.mp_bh are filled with zero at the beginning
of gfs2_block_map.
If gfs2_meta_inode_buffer returns non-zero value, gfs2_block_map
calls release_metapath to free buffers chained to mp.mp_bh.
release_metapath checks each slot of mp.mp_bh[i] and
free(with brelse) unless the slot is filled with NULL.
&mp.mp_bh[0] passed to gfs2_meta_inode_buffer is filled at
gfs2_meta_read. gfs2_meta_read is filled a buffer allocated with
gfs2_getbuf even if EIO occurs. When EIO occurs, the allocated buffer
is brelse'ed though the pointer(wrong poiner) points the brelse'ed is
passed back to caller via an argument bhp.
gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer, the caller also pass the wrong pointer
to its caller with EIO. Finally gfs2_block_map gets both EIO and
&mp.mp_bh[0] filled with the wrong pointer. release_metapath
calls brelse again on the wrong pointer.

This is another clean up in the logging code. This per-transaction
list was largely unused. Its main function was to ensure that the
number of buffers in a transaction was correct, however that counter
was only used to check the number of buffers in the bd_list_tr, plus
an assert at the end of each transaction. With the assert now changed
to use the calculated buffer counts, we can remove both bd_list_tr and
its associated counter.
This should make the code easier to understand as well as shrinking
a couple of structures.

Christoph has split up REQ_PRIO from REQ_META. That means that
we can drop REQ_PRIO from places where is it not needed. I'm
not at all sure that the combination WRITE_FLUSH_FUA | REQ_PRIO
makes any kind of sense, anyway.
In addition, I've added REQ_META to one place in the code where
it was missing. REQ_PRIO has been left for read/writes triggered
by glock acquisition and writeback only. We can adjust it again
if required, but these are the most important points from a
performance perspective.

This adds support for two new flags. One keeps track of whether
the glock is on the LRU list or not. The other isn't really a
flag as such, but an indication of whether the glock has an
attached object or not. This indication is reported without
any locking, which is ok since we do not dereference the object
pointer but merely report whether it is NULL or not.
Also, this fixes one place where a tracepoint was missing, which

This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efe
(writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks). There are
no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the
ext4 tracing interface.
The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the
flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on
IO congestion. The latter will lead to more seeky IO.
The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's
redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check.
We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because
a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code
b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior:
that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which
is unfair in terms of LRU age.

This patch contains various tweaks to how log flushes and active item writeback
work. gfs2_logd is now managed by a waitqueue, and gfs2_log_reseve now waits
for gfs2_logd to do the log flushing. Multiple functions were rewritten to
remove the need to call gfs2_log_lock(). Instead of using one test to see if
gfs2_logd had work to do, there are now seperate tests to check if there
are two many buffers in the incore log or if there are two many items on the
active items list.
This patch is a port of a patch Steve Whitehouse wrote about a year ago, with
some minor changes. Since gfs2_ail1_start always submits all the active items,
it no longer needs to keep track of the first ai submitted, so this has been
removed. In gfs2_log_reserve(), the order of the calls to
prepare_to_wait_exclusive() and wake_up() when firing off the logd thread has
been switched. If it called wake_up first there was a small window for a race,
where logd could run and return before gfs2_log_reserve was ready to get woken
up. If gfs2_logd ran, but did not free up enough blocks, gfs2_log_reserve()
would be left waiting for gfs2_logd to eventualy run because it timed out.
Finally, gt_logd_secs, which controls how long to wait before gfs2_logd times
out, and flushes the log, can now be set on mount with ar_commit.

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.

This adds a GFS2 specific writepage for metadata, rather than
continuing to use the VFS function. As a result we now tag all

this should be faster too.

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

This patch implements a number of cleanups to the core of the
GFS2 glock code. As a result a lot of code is removed. It looks
like a really big change, but actually a large part of this patch
is either removing or moving existing code.
There are some new bits too though, such as the new run_queue()
function which is considerably streamlined. Highlights of this
patch include:
o Fixes a cluster coherency bug during SH -> EX lock conversions
o Removes the "glmutex" code in favour of a single bit lock
o Removes the ->go_xmote_bh() for inodes since it was duplicating
->go_lock()
o We now only use the ->lm_lock() function for both locks and
unlocks (i.e. unlock is a lock with target mode LM_ST_UNLOCKED)
o The fast path is considerably shortly, giving performance gains
especially with lock_nolock
o The glock_workqueue is now used for all the callbacks from the DLM
which allows us to simplify the lock_dlm module (see following patch)
o The way is now open to make further changes such as eliminating the two
threads (gfs2_glockd and gfs2_scand) in favour of a more efficient
scheme.
This patch has undergone extensive testing with various test suites
so it should be pretty stable by now.

The i_cache was designed to keep references to the indirect blocks
used during block mapping so that they didn't have to be looked

the cause of many bugs.
In addition there was no performance benefit being gained since the

file with large file size where the indirect meta blocks span multiple

The following alters gfs2_trans_add_revoke() to take a struct
gfs2_bufdata as an argument. This eliminates the memory allocation which
was previously required by making use of the already existing struct
gfs2_bufdata. It makes some sanity checks to ensure that the
gfs2_bufdata has been removed from all the lists before its recycled as
a revoke structure. This saves one memory allocation and one free per
revoke structure.
Also as a result, and to simplify the locking, since there is no longer
any blocking code in gfs2_trans_add_revoke() we must hold the log lock
whenever this function is called. This reduces the amount of times we
take and unlock the log lock.

gfs2_pin and gfs2_unpin are only used in lops.c, despite being
defined in meta_io.c, so this patch moves them into lops.c and
makes them static. At the same time, its possible to clean up
the locking in the buf and databuf _lo_add() functions so that
we only need to grab the spinlock once. Also we have to move
lock_buffer() around the _lo_add() functions since we can't
do that in gfs2_pin() any more since we hold the spinlock
for the duration of that function.
As a result, the code shrinks by 12 lines and we do far fewer
operations when adding buffers to the log. It also makes the
code somewhat easier to read & understand.

This patch passes all my nasty tests that were causing the code to
fail under one circumstance or another. Here is a complete summary
of all changes from today's git tree, in order of appearance:
1. There are now separate variables for metadata buffer accounting.
2. Variable sd_log_num_hdrs is no longer needed, since the header
accounting is taken care of by the reserve/refund sequence.
3. Fixed a tiny grammatical problem in a comment.
4. Added a new function "calc_reserved" to calculate the reserved
log space. This isn't entirely necessary, but it has two benefits:
First, it simplifies the gfs2_log_refund function greatly.
Second, it allows for easier debugging because I could sprinkle the
code with calls to this function to make sure the accounting is
proper (by adding asserts and printks) at strategic point of the code.
5. In log_pull_tail there apparently was a kludge to fix up the
accounting based on a "pull" parameter. The buffer accounting is
now done properly, so the kludge was removed.
6. File sync operations were making a call to gfs2_log_flush that
writes another journal header. Since that header was unplanned
for (reserved) by the reserve/refund sequence, the free space had
to be decremented so that when log_pull_tail gets called, the free
space is be adjusted properly. (Did I hear you call that a kludge?
well, maybe, but a lot more justifiable than the one I removed).
7. In the gfs2_log_shutdown code, it optionally syncs the log by
specifying the PULL parameter to log_write_header. I'm not sure
this is necessary anymore. It just seems to me there could be
cases where shutdown is called while there are outstanding log
buffers.
8. In the (data)buf_lo_before_commit functions, I changed some offset
values from being calculated on the fly to being constants. That
simplified some code and we might as well let the compiler do the
calculation once rather than redoing those cycles at run time.
9. This version has my rewritten databuf_lo_add function.
This version is much more like its predecessor, buf_lo_add, which
makes it easier to understand. Again, this might not be necessary,
but it seems as if this one works as well as the previous one,
maybe even better, so I decided to leave it in.
10. In databuf_lo_before_commit, a previous data corruption problem
was caused by going off the end of the buffer. The proper solution
is to have the proper limit in place, rather than stopping earlier.
(Thus my previous attempt to fix it is wrong).
If you don't wrap the buffer, you're stopping too early and that
causes more log buffer accounting problems.
11. In lops.h there are two new (previously mentioned) constants for
figuring out the data offset for the journal buffers.
12. There are also two new functions, buf_limit and databuf_limit to
calculate how many entries will fit in the buffer.
13. In function gfs2_meta_wipe, it needs to distinguish between pinned
metadata buffers and journaled data buffers for proper journal buffer
accounting. It can't use the JDATA gfs2_inode flag because it's
sometimes passed the "real" inode and sometimes the "metadata
inode" and the inode flags will be random bits in a metadata
gfs2_inode. It needs to base its decision on which was passed in.

This fixes a bug which resulted in poor performance due to flushing
the journal too often. The code path in question was via the inode_go_sync()
function in glops.c. The solution is not to flush the journal immediately
when inodes are ejected from memory, but batch up the work for glockd to
deal with later on. This means that glocks may now live on beyond the end of
the lifetime of their inodes (but not very much longer in the normal case).
Also fixed in this patch is a bug (which was hidden by the bug mentioned above) in
calculation of the number of free journal blocks.
The gfs2_logd process has been altered to be more responsive to the journal
filling up. We now wake it up when the number of uncommitted journal blocks
has reached the threshold level rather than trying to flush directly at the
end of each transaction. This again means doing fewer, but larger, log
flushes in general.

The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).
This patch:
The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

Fix a bug in the directory reading code, where we might have dereferenced
a NULL pointer in case of OOM. Updated the directory code to use the new
& improved version of gfs2_meta_ra() which now returns the first block
that was being read. Previously it was releasing it requiring following
code to grab the block again at each point it was called.
Also turned off readahead on directory lookups since we are reading a
hash table, and therefore reading the entries in order is very
unlikely. Readahead is still used for all other calls to the
directory reading function (e.g. when growing the hash table).
Removed the DIO_START constant. Everywhere this was used, it was
used to unconditionally start i/o aside from a couple of places, so
I've removed it and made the couple of exceptions to this rule into
separate functions.
Also hunted through the other DIO flags and removed them as arguments
from functions which were always called with the same combination of
arguments.

hopefully also be a bit easier to read.

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.

This fixes a memory leak of struct gfs2_bufdata and also some
problems in the ordered write handling code. It needs a bit
more testing, but I believe that the reference counting of
ordered write buffers should now be correct.
This is aimed at fixing Red Hat bugzilla: #201028 and #201082

We must not call GFP_KERNEL memory allocations while we
are holding the log lock (read or write) since that may
trigger a log flush resulting in a deadlock.
Eventually we need to fix the locking in log.c, for now
this solves the problem at the expense of freeing up memory
as fast as we would like to. This needs to be revisited
later on.

This adds a generation number for the eventual use of NFS to the
ondisk inode. Its backward compatible with the current code since
it doesn't really matter what the generation number is to start with,
and indeed since its set to zero, due to it being taken from padding
in both the inode and rgrp header, it should be fine.
The eventual plan is to use this rather than no_formal_ino in the
NFS filehandles. At that point no_formal_ino will be unused.
At the same time we also add a releasepages call back to the
"normal" address space for gfs2 inodes. Also I've removed a
one-linrer function thats not required any more.
