This patch fixes a couple of problems which affected the execution of files
on GFS2. The first is that there was a corner case where inodes were not
always uptodate at the point at which permissions checks were being carried
out, this was resulting in refusal of execute permission, but only on the
first lookup, subsequent requests worked correctly. The second was a problem
relating to incorrect updating of file sizes which was introduced with the
write_begin/end code for GFS2 a little while back.

Here is a patch for the latest upstream GFS2 code:
The journal extent map needs to be initialized sooner than it
currently is. Otherwise failed mount attempts (e.g. not enough
journals, etc.) may panic trying to access the uninitialized list.

To improve performance on NUMA, we use the VM's standard page
migration for writeback and ordered pages. Probably we could
also do the same for journaled data, but that would need a
careful audit of the code, so will be the subject of a later

This patch optimizes the function gfs2_glmutex_lock.
The basic theory is: Why bother initializing a holder, setting up
wait bits and then waiting on them, if you know the glock can be
yours. So the holder stuff is placed inside the if checking if the
glock is locked. This one needs careful scrutiny because changing
anything to do with locking should strike terror into one's heart.

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.

This patch saves a little time when gfs2 writes to the journals by
keeping a mapping between logical and physical blocks on disk.
That's better than constantly looking up indirect pointers in

This patch is just a cleanup. Function gfs2_get_block() just calls
function gfs2_block_map reversing the last two parameters. By
reversing the parameters, gfs2_block_map() may be called directly
and function gfs2_get_block may be eliminated altogether.
Since this function is done for every block operation,
this streamlines the code and makes it a little bit more efficient.

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.

GFS2 supports two modes of locking - lock_nolock for single node filesystem
and lock_dlm for cluster mode locking. The gfs2 lock methods are removed from
file operation table for lock_nolock protocol. This would allow VFS to handle
posix lock and flock logics just like other in-tree filesystems without
duplication.

The issue is indeed UP vs SMP and it is totally random.
spin_is_locked() is a bad assertion because there is no correct answer on UP.
on UP spin_is_locked() has to return either one value or another, always.
This means that in my setup I am lucky enough to trigger the issue and your you
are lucky enough not to.

The patch is a fix to abort mount if the mount.gfs* and possible
umount.* are missing from /sbin.
While we do what we can to guarantee that they are installed properly in
userland (CVS HEAD), we want to make sure that mount still aborts properly.
The only sign of missing helpers is that lock_dlm will receive no mount options
at all. According to David the problem does not exist for lock_nolock as the
helpers are not required.
The patch has been tested for both gfs and gfs2 and it works as expected. The
lack of mount.gfs* will generate an error that is propagated to mount:
oot@node1:~# mount -t gfs2 /dev/nbd2 /mnt/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/nbd2,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

you can actually mount the filesystem again.

We only care about the content of the jindex in two cases,
one is when we mount the fs and the other is when we need
to recover another journal. In both cases we have to update
the jindex anyway, so there is no point in updating it

gfs2_logd.

The only reason for adding glocks to the journal was to keep track
of which locks required a log flush prior to release. We add a
flag to the glock to allow this check to be made in a simpler way.
This reduces the size of a glock (by 12 bytes on i386, 24 on x86_64)
and means that we can avoid extra work during the journal flush.

The HIF_MUTEX and HIF_PROMOTE flags were set on the glock holders
depending upon which of the two waiters lists they were going to
be queued upon. They were then tested when the holders were taken
off the lists to ensure that the right type of holder was being
dequeued.
Since we are already using separate lists, there doesn't seem a
lot of point having these flags as well, and since setting them
and testing them is in the fast path for locking and unlocking
glock, this patch removes them.

Previously we were doing (write data, wait for data, write metadata, wait
for metadata). After this patch we so (write metadata, write data, wait for
data, wait for metadata) which should be more efficient.
Also I noticed that the drop_bh and xmote_bh functions were almost
identical. In fact the only difference was a single test, and that
test is such that in the drop_bh case, it would always evaluate to
the correct result. As such we can use the xmote_bh functions in
all the places where we were using the drop_bh function and remove
the drop_bh functions.

This patch resolves a lock ordering issue where we had been getting

This patch splits gfs2_writepage into separate functions for each of

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
up continually. The idea failed because there are too many places
where the i_cache needs to be freed, and this has in the past been
the cause of many bugs.
In addition there was no performance benefit being gained since the
disk blocks in question were cached anyway. So this patch removes
it in order to simplify the code to prepare for other changes which
would otherwise have had to add further support for this feature.

This cleans up the mmap() code path for GFS2 by implementing the
page_mkwrite function for GFS2. We are thus able to use the
generic filemap_fault function for our ->fault() implementation.
This now means that shared writable mappings will be much more
efficiently shared across the cluster if there is a reasonable
proportion of read activity (the greater proportion, the better).
As a side effect, it also reduces the size of the code, removes
special cases from readpage and readpages, and makes the code
path easier to follow.

As requested by Christoph, this patch cleans up GFS2's internal
read function so that it no longer uses the do_generic_mapping_read
function. This function is obsolete and GFS2 is the last user of it.
As a side effect the internal read code gets smaller and easier
to read and gfs2_readpage is split into two. One function has the locking
and the other function has the rest of the logic.
