In ocfs2_add_branch, we use the rightmost rec of the leaf extent block
to generate the e_cpos for the newly added branch. In the most case, it
is OK but if the parent extent block's rightmost rec covers more clusters
than the leaf does, it will cause kernel panic if we insert some clusters
in it. The message is something like:
(7445,1):ocfs2_insert_at_leaf:3775 ERROR: bug expression:
le16_to_cpu(el->l_next_free_rec) >= le16_to_cpu(el->l_count)
(7445,1):ocfs2_insert_at_leaf:3775 ERROR: inode 66053, depth 0, count 28,

[<fa7b1b8b>] ? ocfs2_add_clusters_in_btree+0x37f/0x564 [ocfs2]
...
The panic can be easily reproduced by the following small test case
(with bs=512, cs=4K, and I remove all the error handling so that it looks
clear enough for reading).
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int fd, i;
char buf[5] = "test";
fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR|O_CREAT);
for (i = 0; i < 30; i++) {
lseek(fd, 40960 * i, SEEK_SET);
write(fd, buf, 5);
}
ftruncate(fd, 1146880);
lseek(fd, 1126400, SEEK_SET);
write(fd, buf, 5);
close(fd);
return 0;
}
The reason of the panic is that:
the 30 writes and the ftruncate makes the file's extent list looks like:
Tree Depth: 1 Count: 19 Next Free Rec: 1
## Offset Clusters Block#
0 0 280 86183
SubAlloc Bit: 7 SubAlloc Slot: 0
Blknum: 86183 Next Leaf: 0
CRC32: 00000000 ECC: 0000
Tree Depth: 0 Count: 28 Next Free Rec: 28
## Offset Clusters Block# Flags
0 0 1 143368 0x0
1 10 1 143376 0x0
...
26 260 1 143576 0x0
27 270 1 143584 0x0
Now another write at 1126400(275 cluster) whiich will write at the gap
between 271 and 280 will trigger ocfs2_add_branch, but the result after
the function looks like:
Tree Depth: 1 Count: 19 Next Free Rec: 2
## Offset Clusters Block#
0 0 280 86183
1 271 0 143592
So the extent record is intersected and make the following operation bug out.
This patch just try to remove the gap before we add the new branch, so that
the root(branch) rightmost rec will cover the same right position. So in the
above case, before adding branch the tree will be changed to
Tree Depth: 1 Count: 19 Next Free Rec: 1
## Offset Clusters Block#
0 0 271 86183
SubAlloc Bit: 7 SubAlloc Slot: 0
Blknum: 86183 Next Leaf: 0
CRC32: 00000000 ECC: 0000
Tree Depth: 0 Count: 28 Next Free Rec: 28

...
26 260 1 143576 0x0
27 270 1 143584 0x0
And after branch add, the tree looks like
Tree Depth: 1 Count: 19 Next Free Rec: 2
## Offset Clusters Block#
0 0 271 86183

Move BKL into ->put_super from the only caller. A couple of
filesystems had trivial enough ->put_super (only kfree and NULLing of
s_fs_info + stuff in there) to not get any locking: coda, cramfs, efs,
hugetlbfs, omfs, qnx4, shmem, all others got the full treatment. Most
of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually.
Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.

It would be nice to know how often we get checksum failures. Even
better, how many of them we can fix with the single bit ecc. So, we add
a statistics structure. The structure can be installed into debugfs
wherever the user wants.
For ocfs2, we'll put it in the superblock-specific debugfs directory and
pass it down from our higher-level functions. The stats are only
registered with debugfs when the filesystem supports metadata ecc.

When a dentry is unlinked, the unlinking node takes an EX on the dentry lock
before moving the dentry to the orphan directory. Other nodes that have
this dentry in cache have a PR on the same dentry lock. When the EX is
requested, the other nodes flag the corresponding inode as MAYBE_ORPHANED
during downconvert. The inode is finally deleted when the last node to iput
the inode sees that i_nlink==0 and the MAYBE_ORPHANED flag is set.
A problem arises if a node is forced to free dentry locks because of memory
pressure. If this happens, the node will no longer get downconvert
notifications for the dentries that have been unlinked on another node.
If it also happens that node is actively using the corresponding inode and
happens to be the one performing the last iput on that inode, it will fail
to delete the inode as it will not have the MAYBE_ORPHANED flag set.
This patch fixes this shortcoming by introducing a periodic scan of the
orphan directories to delete such inodes. Care has been taken to distribute
the workload across the cluster so that no one node has to perform the task
all the time.

In ocfs2_finish_quota_recovery() we acquired global quota file lock and started
recovering local quota file. During this process we need to get quota
structures, which calls ocfs2_dquot_acquire() which gets global quota file lock
again. This second lock can block in case some other node has requested the
quota file lock in the mean time. Fix the problem by moving quota file locking
down into the function where it is really needed. Then dqget() or dqput()
won't be called with the lock held.

We called vfs_dq_transfer() with global quota file lock held. This can lead
to deadlocks as if vfs_dq_transfer() has to allocate new quota structure,
it calls ocfs2_dquot_acquire() which tries to get quota file lock again and
this can block if another node requested the lock in the mean time.
Since we have to call vfs_dq_transfer() with transaction already started
and quota file lock ranks above the transaction start, we cannot just rely
on ocfs2_dquot_acquire() or ocfs2_dquot_release() on getting the lock
if they need it. We fix the problem by acquiring pointers to all quota
structures needed by vfs_dq_transfer() already before calling the function.
By this we are sure that all quota structures are properly allocated and
they can be freed only after we drop references to them. Thus we don't need
quota file lock anywhere inside vfs_dq_transfer().

There's a possible deadlock in generic_file_splice_write(),
splice_from_pipe() and ocfs2_file_splice_write():
- task A calls generic_file_splice_write()
- this calls inode_double_lock(), which locks i_mutex on both
pipe->inode and target inode
- ordering depends on inode pointers, can happen that pipe->inode is
locked first
- __splice_from_pipe() needs more data, calls pipe_wait()
- this releases lock on pipe->inode, goes to interruptible sleep
- task B calls generic_file_splice_write(), similarly to the first
- this locks pipe->inode, then tries to lock inode, but that is
already held by task A
- task A is interrupted, it tries to lock pipe->inode, but fails, as
it is already held by task B
- ABBA deadlock
Fix this by explicitly ordering locks: the outer lock must be on
target inode and the inner lock (which is later unlocked and relocked)
must be on pipe->inode. This is OK, pipe inodes and target inodes
form two nonoverlapping sets, generic_file_splice_write() and friends
are not called with a target which is a pipe.

For nfs exporting, ocfs2_get_dentry() returns the dentry for fh.
ocfs2_get_dentry() may read from disk when the inode is not in memory,
without any cross cluster lock. this leads to the file system loading a
stale inode.
This patch fixes above problem.
Solution is that in case of inode is not in memory, we get the cluster
lock(PR) of alloc inode where the inode in question is allocated from (this
causes node on which deletion is done sync the alloc inode) before reading
out the inode itsself. then we check the bitmap in the group (the inode in
question allcated from) to see if the bit is clear. if it's clear then it's
stale. if the bit is set, we then check generation as the existing code
does.
We have to read out the inode in question from disk first to know its alloc
slot and allot bit. And if its not stale we read it out using ocfs2_iget().
The second read should then be from cache.
And also we have to add a per superblock nfs_sync_lock to cover the lock for
alloc inode and that for inode in question. this is because ocfs2_get_dentry()
and ocfs2_delete_inode() lock on them in reverse order. nfs_sync_lock is locked
in EX mode in ocfs2_get_dentry() and in PR mode in ocfs2_delete_inode(). so
that mutliple ocfs2_delete_inode() can run concurrently in normal case.

In ocfs2, the inode block search looks for the "emptiest" inode
group to allocate from. So if an inode alloc file has many equally
(or almost equally) empty groups, new inodes will tend to get
spread out amongst them, which in turn can put them all over the
disk. This is undesirable because directory operations on conceptually
"nearby" inodes force a large number of seeks.
So we add ip_last_used_group in core directory inodes which records
the last used allocation group. Another field named ip_last_used_slot
is also added in case inode stealing happens. When claiming new inode,
we passed in directory's inode so that the allocation can use this

ocfs2_dx_dir_rebalance() is passed the block offset of a dx leaf which needs
rebalancing. Since we rebalance an entire cluster at a time however, this
function needs to calculate the beginning of that cluster, in blocks. The
calculation was wrong, which would result in a read of non-leaf blocks. Fix
the calculation by adding ocfs2_block_to_cluster_start() which is a more
straight-forward way of determining this.

ocfs2_empty_dir() is far more expensive than checking link count. Since both
need to be checked at the same time, we can improve performance by checking
link count first.
