This reverts commit 78802499912f1ba31ce83a94c55b5a980f250a43. The original patch is causing problems in relation to order of operations at umount in relation to jdata files. I need to fix this a different way. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

In order to distinguish between two differing uevent messages and to avoid using the (racy) method of reading status from sysfs in future, this adds some status information to our uevent messages. Btw, before anybody says "sysfs isn't racy", I'm aware of that, but the way that GFS2 was using it (send an ambiugous uevent and then expect the receiver to read sysfs to find out the status of the reported operation) was. The additional benefit of using the new interface is that it should be possible for a node to recover multiple journals at the same time, since there is no longer any confusion as to which journal the status belongs to. At some future stage, when all the userland programs have been converted, I intend to remove the old interface. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

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. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

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. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

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. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This patch removes the two daemons, gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd and replaces them with a shrinker which is called from the VM. The net result is that GFS2 responds better when there is memory pressure, since it shrinks the glock cache at the same rate as the VFS shrinks the dcache and icache. There are no longer any time based criteria for shrinking glocks, they are kept until such time as the VM asks for more memory and then we demote just as many glocks as required. There are potential future changes to this code, including the possibility of sorting the glocks which are to be written back into inode number order, to get a better I/O ordering. It would be very useful to have an elevator based workqueue implementation for this, as that would automatically deal with the read I/O cases at the same time. This patch is my answer to Andrew Morton's remark, made during the initial review of GFS2, asking why GFS2 needs so many kernel threads, the answer being that it doesn't :-) This patch is a net loss of about 200 lines of code.

By moving gfs2_recoverd, we can make an additional function static and it also leaves only (the already scheduled for removal) gfs2_glockd in daemon.c. At the same time the declaration of gfs2_quotad is moved to quota.h to reflect the new location of gfs2_quotad in a previous patch. Also the recovery.h and quota.h headers are cleaned up.

Following on from the recent clean up of gfs2_quotad, this patch moves the processing of "truncate in progress" inodes from the glock workqueue into gfs2_quotad. This fixes a hang due to the "truncate in progress" processing requiring glocks in order to complete. It might seem odd to use gfs2_quotad for this particular item, but we have to use a pre-existing thread since creating a thread implies a GFP_KERNEL memory allocation which is not allowed from the glock workqueue context. Of the existing threads, gfs2_logd and gfs2_recoverd may deadlock if used for this operation. gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd are both scheduled for removal at some (hopefully not too distant) future point. That leaves only gfs2_quotad whose workload is generally fairly light and is easily adapted for this extra task. Also, as a result of this change, it opens the way for a future patch to make the reading of the inode's information asynchronous with respect to the glock workqueue, which is another improvement that has been on the list for some time now.

This patch is a clean up of gfs2_quotad prior to giving it an extra job to do in addition to the current portfolio of updating the quota and statfs information from time to time. As a result it has been moved into quota.c allowing one of the functions it calls to be made static. Also the clean up allows the two existing functions to have separate timeouts and also to coexist with its future role of dealing with the "truncate in progress" inode flag. The (pointless) setting of gfs2_quotad_secs is removed since we arrange to only wake up quotad when one of the two timers expires. In addition the struct gfs2_quota_data is moved into a slab cache, mainly for easier debugging. It should also be possible to use a shrinker in the future, rather than the current scheme of scanning the quota data entries from time to time. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

Although the glock dumps print quite a lot of information about the glocks themselves, there are more things which can be usefully added to the dump realting to the objects themselves. This patch adds a few more fields to the inode and resource group lines, which should be useful for debugging. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This patch moves the final field so that we can get rid of struct gfs2_rgrpd_host, as promised some time ago. Also by rearranging the fields slightly, we are able to reduce the size of the gfs2_rgrpd structure at the same time. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

The final field in gfs2_dinode_host was the i_flags field. Thats renamed to i_diskflags in order to avoid confusion with the existing inode flags, and moved into the inode proper at a suitable location to avoid creating a "hole". At that point struct gfs2_dinode_host is no longer needed and as promised (quite some time ago!) it can now be removed completely. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This moves the directory entry count into the proper inode. Potentially we could get this to share the space used by something else in the future, but this is one more step on the way to removing the gfs2_dinode_host structure. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This patch implements the FIEMAP ioctl for GFS2. We can use the generic code (aside from a lock order issue, solved as per Ted Tso's suggestion) for which I've introduced a new variant of the generic function. We also have one exception to deal with, namely stuffed files, so we do that "by hand", setting all the required flags. This has been tested with a modified (I could only find an old version) of Eric's test program, and appears to work correctly. This patch does not currently support FIEMAP of xattrs, but the plan is to add that feature at some future point.

Add standard interfaces for alarm/update irqs enabling. Drivers are no more required to implement equivalent ioctl code as rtc-dev will provide it. UIE emulation should now be handled correctly and will work even for those RTC drivers who cannot be configured to do both UIE and AIE.

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).

The function viafb_cursor() uses 2 stack-variables of CURSOR_SIZE bits; CURSOR_SIZE is defined as (8 * 1024). Using up twice 1k on stack is too much for 4k-stack (though it works with 8k-stacks). Make those two variables kzalloc'ed to preserve stack space. Also merge the whole lot of local struct's in viafb_ioctl into a union so the stack usage gets minimized here as well. (struct's are only accessed in their indicidual IOCTL case) This second part is only compile-tested as I know of no userspace app using the IOCTLs.

As suggested by Andreas Dilger, introduce a bgl_lock_ptr() helper in <linux/blockgroup_lock.h> and add separate sb_bgl_lock() helpers to filesystem specific header files to break the hidden dependency to struct ext[234]_sb_info. Also, while at it, convert the macros to static inlines to try make up for all the times I broke Andrew Morton's tree.

Problem: ordering between the rules on exit chain is currently lost; all watch and inode rules are listed after everything else _and_ exit,never on one kind doesn't stop exit,always on another from being matched.
