add I_CLEAR instead of replacing I_FREEING with it. I_CLEAR is
equivalent to I_FREEING for almost all code looking at either;
it's there to keep track of having called clear_inode() exactly
once per inode lifetime, at some point after having set I_FREEING.
I_CLEAR and I_FREEING never get set at the same time with the
current code, so we can switch to setting i_flags to I_FREEING | I_CLEAR
instead of I_CLEAR without loss of information. As the result of
such change, checks become simpler and the amount of code that needs
to know about I_CLEAR shrinks a lot.

Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in ->setattr by adding
those checks to inode_change_ok. Also clean up and document inode_change_ok
to make this obvious.
As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and
simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error. This
simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize
almost everywhere. Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark
ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious.
Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an
audit for its removal anyway.
Note: setattr code in ecryptfs doesn't call inode_change_ok at all and
needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.

Replace inode_setattr with opencoded variants of it in all callers. This
moves the remaining call to vmtruncate into the filesystem methods where it
can be replaced with the proper truncate sequence.
In a few cases it was obvious that we would never end up calling vmtruncate
so it was left out in the opencoded variant:
spufs: explicitly checks for ATTR_SIZE earlier
btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier
ufs: contains an opencoded simple_seattr + truncate that sets the filesize just above
In addition to that ncpfs called inode_setattr with handcrafted iattrs,
which allowed to trim down the opencoded variant.

Move the call to vmtruncate to get rid of accessive blocks to the callers
in prepearation of the new truncate calling sequence. This was only done
for DIO_LOCKING filesystems, so the __blockdev_direct_IO_newtrunc variant
was not needed anyway. Get rid of blockdev_direct_IO_no_locking and
its _newtrunc variant while at it as just opencoding the two additional
paramters is shorted than the name suffix.

Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.
Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

A barrier request should by defintion have priority in get_request
and let the queue be unplugged immediately as it's blocking all forward
progress due to the queue draining.
Most filesystems already get this implicitly by the way how submit_bh
treats the buffer_ordered flag, and gfs2 sets it explicitly. But btrfs
and XFS are still forgetting to set the flag, as is blkdev_issue_flush
and some places in DM/MD.
For XFS on metadata heavy workloads this gives a consistent speedup
in the 2-3% range.

This looks like a big change, but in reality its only a single line of actual
code change, the rest is just moving a function to before its new caller.
The "try" flag for glocks is a rather subtle and delicate setting since it
requires that the state machine tries just hard enough to ensure that it has
a good chance of getting the requested lock, but no so hard that the
request can land up blocked behind another.
The patch adds in an additional check which will fail any queued try
locks if there is another request blocking the try lock request which
is not granted and compatible, nor in progress already. The check is made
only after all pending locks which may be granted have been granted.
I've checked this with the reproducer for the reported flock bug which
this is intended to fix, and it now passes.

Function gfs2_write_alloc_required always returned zero as its
return code. Therefore, it doesn't need to return a return code
at all. Given that, we can use the return value to return whether
or not the dinode needs block allocations rather than passing
that value in, which in turn simplifies a bunch of error checking.

This patch implements a wait for the journal id in the case that it has
not been specified on the command line. This is to allow the future
removal of the mount.gfs2 helper. The journal id would instead be
directly communicated by gfs_controld to the file system. Here is a
comparison of the two systems:
Current:
1. mount calls mount.gfs2
2. mount.gfs2 connects to gfs_controld to retrieve the journal id
3. mount.gfs2 adds the journal id to the mount command line and calls
the mount system call
4. gfs_controld receives the status of the mount request via a uevent
Proposed:
1. mount calls the mount system call (no mount.gfs2 helper)
2. gfs_controld receives a uevent for a gfs2 fs which it doesn't know
about already
3. gfs_controld assigns a journal id to it via sysfs
4. the mount system call then completes as normal (sending a uevent
according to status)
The advantage of the proposed system is that it is completely backward
compatible with the current system both at the kernel and at the
userland levels. The "first" parameter can also be set the same way,
with the restriction that it must be set before the journal id is
assigned.
In addition, if mount becomes stuck waiting for a reply from
gfs_controld which never arrives, then it is killable and will abort the
mount gracefully.

If we don't need a huge amount of memory in ->readdir() then
we can use kmalloc rather than vmalloc to allocate it. This
should cut down on the greater overheads associated with
vmalloc for smaller directories.
We may be able to eliminate vmalloc entirely at some stage,
but this is easy to do right away.
Also using GFP_NOFS to avoid any issues wrt to deleting inodes
while under a glock, and suggestion from Linus to factor out
the alloc/dealloc.
I've given this a test with a variety of different sized
directories and it seems to work ok.

to have global state to work from. This makes it difficult to shrink
caches that are not global (e.g. per-filesystem caches). Pass the shrinker
structure to the callback so that users can embed the shrinker structure

This patch fixes a kernel Oops in the GFS2 rename code.
The problem was in the way the gfs2 directory code was trying
to re-use sentinel directory entries.
In the failing case, gfs2's rename function was renaming a
file to another name that had the same non-trivial length.
The file being renamed happened to be the first directory
entry on the leaf block.
First, the rename code (gfs2_rename in ops_inode.c) found the
original directory entry and decided it could do its job by
simply replacing the directory entry with another. Therefore
it determined correctly that no block allocations were needed.
Next, the rename code deleted the old directory entry prior to
replacing it with the new name. Therefore, the soon-to-be
replaced directory entry was temporarily made into a directory
entry "sentinel" or a place holder at the start of a leaf block.
Lastly, it went to re-add the replacement directory entry in
that leaf block. However, when gfs2_dirent_find_space was
looking for space in the leaf block, it used the wrong value
for the sentinel. That threw off its calculations so later
it decides it can't really re-use the sentinel and therefore
must allocate a new leaf block. But because it previously decided
to re-use the directory entry, it didn't waste the time to
grab a new block allocation for the inode. Therefore, the
inode's i_alloc pointer was still NULL and it crashes trying to
reference it.
In the case of sentinel directory entries, the entire dirent is
reused, not just the "free space" portion of it, and therefore
the function gfs2_dirent_find_space should use the value 0
rather than GFS2_DIRENT_SIZE(0) for the actual dirent size.
Fixing this calculation enables the reproducer programs to work
properly.

This patch fixes a problem in an error path when looking
up dinodes. There are two sister-functions, gfs2_inode_lookup
and gfs2_process_unlinked_inode. Both functions acquire and
hold the i_iopen glock for the dinode being looked up. The last
thing they try to do is hold the i_gl glock for the dinode.
If that glock fails for some reason, the error path was
incorrectly calling gfs2_glock_put for the i_iopen glock twice.
This resulted in the glock being prematurely freed. The
"minimum hold time" usually kept the glock in memory, but the
lock interface to dlm (aka lock_dlm) freed its memory for the
glock. In some circumstances, it would cause dlm's dlm_astd daemon
to try to call the bast function for the freed lock_dlm memory,
which resulted in a NULL pointer dereference.

This patch fixes bugzilla bug #590878: GFS2: recovery stuck on
transaction lock. We set the frozen flag on the glock when we receive
a completion that cannot be delivered due to blocked locks. At that
point we check to see whether the first waiting holder has the noexp
flag set. If the noexp lock is queued later, then we need to unfreeze
the glock at that point in time, namely, in the glock work function.
This patch was originally written by Steve Whitehouse, but since
he's on holiday, I'm submitting it. It's been well tested with a

This is the upstream fix for this bug. This patch differs
from the RHEL5 fix (Red Hat bz #555754) which simply writes to the 8-byte
value field of the quota. In upstream quota code, we're
required to write the entire quota (88 bytes) which can be split
across a page boundary. We check for such quotas, and read/write
the two parts from/to the corresponding pages holding these parts.
With this patch, I don't see the bug anymore using the reproducer
in Red Hat bz 555754. I successfully ran a couple of simple tests/mounts/
umounts and it doesn't seem like this patch breaks anything else.

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.

This patch fixes a couple gfs2 problems with the reclaiming of
unlinked dinodes. First, there were a couple of livelocks where
everything would come to a halt waiting for a glock that was
seemingly held by a process that no longer existed. In fact, the
process did exist, it just had the wrong pid number in the holder
information. Second, there was a lock ordering problem between
inode locking and glock locking. Third, glock/inode contention
could sometimes cause inodes to be improperly marked invalid by
iget_failed.
