Thanks to the preceeding patches, the only difference between
these two functions is their name. We can thus merge them

fact that it can allocate either kind of block.

By adding an extra argument to gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke we can now
specify an extent length of blocks to unrevoke. This means that
we only need to make one pass through the list for each extent
rather than each block. Currently the only extent length which
is used is 1, but that will change in the future.
Also gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke is removed from gfs2_alloc_meta
since its the only difference between this and gfs2_alloc_data
which is left. This will allow a future patch to merge these
two functions into one (i.e. one call to allocate both data
and metadata in a single extent in the future).

We don't need to keep track of when we last allocated data

when searching for a free block is whether its free or not,
which is independent from what type of block it is.

There were three fields being used to keep track of the location
of the most recently allocated block for each inode. These have
been merged into a single field in order to better keep the
data and metadata for an inode close on disk, and also to reduce
the space required for storage.

It is possible to reduce the size of GFS2 inodes by taking the i_alloc
structure out of the gfs2_inode. This patch allocates the i_alloc
structure whenever its needed, and frees it afterward. This decreases
the amount of low memory we use at the expense of requiring a memory
allocation for each page or partial page that we write. A quick test
with postmark shows that the overhead is not measurable and I also note
that OCFS2 use the same approach.
In the future I'd like to solve the problem by shrinking down the size
of the members of the i_alloc structure, but for now, this reduces the
immediate problem of using too much low-memory on x86 and doesn't add
too much overhead.

I eliminated the passing of an unused parameter into gfs2_bitfit called rgd.
This also changes the gfs2_bitfit code that searches for free (or used) blocks.
Before, the code was trying to check for bytes that indicated 4 blocks in
the undesired state. The problem is, it was spending more time trying to
do this than it actually was saving. This version only optimizes the case
where we're looking for free blocks, and it checks a machine word at a time.
So on 32-bit machines, it will check 32-bits (16 blocks) and on 64-bit
machines, it will check 64-bits (32 blocks) at a time. The compiler
optimizes that quite well and we save some time, especially when running
through full bitmaps (like the bitmaps allocated for the journals).
There's probably a more elegant or optimized way to do this, but I haven't
thought of it yet. I'm open to suggestions.

A certain scenario in the rename code path triggers a kernel BUG()
because it accidentally does recursive locking The first lock is
requested to unlink an already existing inode (replacing a file) and the
second lock is requested when the destination directory needs to alloc
some space. It is rare that these two
events happen during the same rename call, and even more rare that these
two instances try to lock the same rgrp. It is, however, possible.

There is a possible deadlock between two processes on the same node, where one
process is deleting an inode, and another process is looking for allocated but
unused inodes to delete in order to create more space.
process A does an iput() on inode X, and it's i_count drops to 0. This causes
iput_final() to be called, which puts an inode into state I_FREEING at
generic_delete_inode(). There no point between when iput_final() is called, and
when I_FREEING is set where GFS2 could acquire any glocks. Once I_FREEING is
set, no other process on that node can successfully look up that inode until
the delete finishes.
process B locks the the resource group for the same inode in get_local_rgrp(),
which is called by gfs2_inplace_reserve_i()
process A tries to lock the resource group for the inode in
gfs2_dinode_dealloc(), but it's already locked by process B
process B waits in find_inode for the inode to have the I_FREEING state cleared.
Deadlock.
This patch solves the problem by adding an alternative to gfs2_iget(),
gfs2_iget_skip(), that simply skips any inodes that are in the I_FREEING
state.o The alternate test function is just like the original one, except that
it fails if the inode is being freed, and sets a skipped flag. The alternate
set function is just like the original, except that it fails if the skipped
flag is set. Only try_rgrp_unlink() calls gfs2_iget_skip() instead of
gfs2_iget().

This is for bugzilla bug #248176: GFS2: invalid metadata block
Patches 1 thru 3 were accepted upstream, but there were problems
with 4 and 5. Those issues have been resolved and now the recovery
tests are passing without errors. This code has gone through
41 * 3 successful gfs2 recovery tests before it hit an
unrelated (openais) problem.
This is a complete rewrite of patch 4 for bug #248176.
Part of the problem was that inodes were being recycled
before their buffers were flushed to the journal logs.
Another problem was that the clone bitmaps were being
searched for deleted inodes to recycle, but only the
"real" bitmaps should be searched for that purpose.

The code was looping in the relatively new section of code designed to
search for and reuse unlinked inodes. In cases where it was finding an
appropriate inode to reuse, it was looping around and finding the same
block over and over because a "<=" check should have been a "<" when
comparing the goal block to the last unlinked block found.

GFS2 has been passing i_mode within NFS File Handle. Other than the
wrong assumption that there is always room for this extra 16 bit value,
the current gfs2_get_dentry doesn't really need the i_mode to work
correctly. Note that GFS2 NFS code does go thru the same lookup code
path as direct file access route (where the mode is obtained from name
lookup) but gfs2_get_dentry() is coded for different purpose. It is not
used during lookup time. It is part of the file access procedure call.
When the call is invoked, if on-disk inode is not in-memory, it has to
be read-in. This makes i_mode passing a useless overhead.

Under certain circumstances its possible (though rather unlikely) that
inodes which were unlinked by one node while still open on another might
get "lost" in the sense that they don't get deallocated if the node
which held the inode open crashed before it was unlinked.
This patch adds the recovery code which allows automatic deallocation of
the inode if its found during block allocation (the sensible time to
look for such inodes since we are scanning the rgrp's bitmaps anyway at
this time, so it adds no overhead to do this).
Since the inode will have had its i_nlink set to zero, all we need to
trigger recovery is a lookup and an iput(), and the normal deallocation
code takes care of the rest.

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.

This patch cleans up the inode number handling code. The main difference
is that instead of looking up the inodes using a struct gfs2_inum_host
we now use just the no_addr member of this structure. The tests relating
to no_formal_ino can then be done by the calling code. This has
advantages in that we want to do different things in different code
paths if the no_formal_ino doesn't match. In the NFS patch we want to
return -ESTALE, but in the ->lookup() path, its a bug in the fs if the
no_formal_ino doesn't match and thus we can withdraw in this case.
In order to later fix bz #201012, we need to be able to look up an inode
without knowing no_formal_ino, as the only information that is known to
us is the on-disk location of the inode in question.
This patch will also help us to fix bz #236099 at a later date by
cleaning up a lot of the code in that area.
There are no user visible changes as a result of this patch and there
are no changes to the on-disk format either.

This is another revision of my gfs2 kernel patch that allows
gfs2_grow to function properly.
Steve Whitehouse expressed some concerns about the previous
patch and I restructured it based on his comments.
The previous patch was doing the statfs_change at file close time,
under its own transaction. The current patch does the statfs_change
inside the gfs2_commit_write function, which keeps it under the
umbrella of the inode transaction.
I can't call ri_update to re-read the rindex file during the
transaction because the transaction may have outstanding unwritten
buffers attached to the rgrps that would be otherwise blown away.
So instead, I created a new function, gfs2_ri_total, that will
re-read the rindex file just to total the file system space
for the sake of the statfs_change. The ri_update will happen
later, when gfs2 realizes the version number has changed, as it
happened before my patch.
Since the statfs_change is happening at write_commit time and there
may be multiple writes to the rindex file for one grow operation.
So one consequence of this restructuring is that instead of getting
one kernel message to indicate the change, you may see several.
For example, before when you did a gfs2_grow, you'd get a single
message like:
GFS2: File system extended by 247876 blocks (968MB)
Now you get something like:
GFS2: File system extended by 207896 blocks (812MB)
GFS2: File system extended by 39980 blocks (156MB)
This version has also been successfully run against the hours-long
"gfs2_fsck_hellfire" test that does several gfs2_grow and gfs2_fsck
while interjecting file system damage. It does this repeatedly
under a variety Resource Group conditions.

Ths following patch makes GFS2 use the rgrp flags properly. Although
there are also separate flags for both data and metadata as well, I've
not implemented these as there seems little use for them. On the
otherhand, the "noalloc" flag is generally useful for future changes we
might which to make, so this ensures that we interpret it correctly.
In addition I fixed the comment above the function which was incorrect.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
This is a fix for bz #208514. When GFS2 frees up space, the freed blocks
aren't available for reuse until the resource group is successfully written
to the ondisk journal. So in rare cases, GFS2 operations will fail, saying
that the filesystem is out of space, when in reality, you are just waiting for
a log flush. For instance, on a 1Gig filesystem, if I continually write 10 Mb
to a file, and then truncate it, after a hundred interations, the write will
fail with -ENOSPC, even though the filesystem is just 1% full.
The attached patch calls a log flush in these cases. I tested this patch
fairly heavily to check if there were any locking issues that I missed, and
it seems to work just fine. Also, this patch only does the log flush if
get_local_rgrp makes a complete loop of resource groups without skipping
any do to locking issues. The code would be slightly simpler if it just always
did the log flush after the first failed pass, and you could only ever have
to go through the loop twice, instead of up to three times. However, I guessed
that failing to find a rg simply do to locking issues would be common enough
to skip the log flush in that case, but I'm not certain that this is the right
way to go. Either way, I don't suppose this code will be hit all that often.

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

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.

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.

This patch fixes the way we have been dealing with unlinked,
but still open files. It removes all limits (other than memory
for inodes, as per every other filesystem) on numbers of these
which we can support on GFS2. It also means that (like other
fs) its the responsibility of the last process to close the file
to deallocate the storage, rather than the person who did the
unlinking. Note that with GFS2, those two events might take place
on different nodes.
Also there are a number of other changes:
o We use the Linux inode subsystem as it was intended to be
used, wrt allocating GFS2 inodes
o The Linux inode cache is now the point which we use for
local enforcement of only holding one copy of the inode in
core at once (previous to this we used the glock layer).
o We no longer use the unlinked "special" file. We just ignore it
completely. This makes unlinking more efficient.
o We now use the 4th block allocation state. The previously unused
state is used to track unlinked but still open inodes.
o gfs2_inoded is no longer needed
o Several fields are now no longer needed (and removed) from the in
core struct gfs2_inode
o Several fields are no longer needed (and removed) from the in core
superblock
