This patch introduces a new HIF_MAY_DEMOTE flag and infrastructure that
will allow glocks to be demoted automatically on locking conflicts.
When a locking request comes in that isn't compatible with the locking
state of an active holder and that holder has the HIF_MAY_DEMOTE flag
set, the holder will be demoted before the incoming locking request is
granted.
Note that this mechanism demotes active holders (with the HIF_HOLDER
flag set), while before we were only demoting glocks without any active
holders. This allows processes to keep hold of locks that may form a
cyclic locking dependency; the core glock logic will then break those
dependencies in case a conflicting locking request occurs. We'll use
this to avoid giving up the inode glock proactively before faulting in
pages.
Processes that allow a glock holder to be taken away indicate this by
calling gfs2_holder_allow_demote(), which sets the HIF_MAY_DEMOTE flag.
Later, they call gfs2_holder_disallow_demote() to clear the flag again,
and then they check if their holder is still queued: if it is, they are
still holding the glock; if it isn't, they can re-acquire the glock (or
abort).

Pass the first current glock holder into function may_grant and
deobfuscate the logic there.
While at it, switch from BUG_ON to GLOCK_BUG_ON in may_grant. To make
that build cleanly, de-constify the may_grant arguments.
We're now using function find_first_holder in do_promote, so move the
function's definition above do_promote.

In function gfs2_glock_dq, it checks to see if this is the fast path.
Before this patch, it checked both "find_first_holder(gl) == NULL" and
list_empty(&gl->gl_holders), which is redundant. If gl_holders is empty
then find_first_holder must return NULL. This patch removes the
redundancy.

The GLF_LRU flag is checked under lru_lock in gfs2_glock_remove_from_lru() to
remove the glock from the lru list in __gfs2_glock_put().
On the shrink scan path, the same flag is cleared under lru_lock but because
of cond_resched_lock(&lru_lock) in gfs2_dispose_glock_lru(), progress on the
put side can be made without deleting the glock from the lru list.
Keep GLF_LRU across the race window opened by cond_resched_lock(&lru_lock) to
ensure correct behavior on both sides - clear GLF_LRU after list_del under
lru_lock.

This patch makes a special exception for the statfs system inode glock,
which allows the statfs glock UNLOCK to proceed normally. That allows the
quotad daemon to exit during the withdraw, which allows the logd daemon
to exit during the withdraw, which allows the mount to exit.

This patch unlocks the lockref spin_lock before waiting for recovery.

Patch series "Remove nrexceptional tracking", v2.
We actually use nrexceptional for very little these days. It's a minor
pain to keep in sync with nrpages, but the pain becomes much bigger with
the THP patches because we don't know how many indices a shadow entry
occupies. It's easier to just remove it than keep it accurate.
Also, we save 8 bytes per inode which is nothing to sneeze at; on my
laptop, it would improve shmem_inode_cache from 22 to 23 objects per
16kB, and inode_cache from 26 to 27 objects. Combined, that saves
a megabyte of memory from a combined usage of 25MB for both caches.
Unfortunately, ext4 doesn't cross a magic boundary, so it doesn't save
any memory for ext4.
This patch (of 4):
Instead of checking the two counters (nrpages and nrexceptional), we can
just check whether i_pages is empty.

list_sort() internally casts the comparison function passed to it
to a different type with constant struct list_head pointers, and
uses this pointer to call the functions, which trips indirect call
Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) checking.
Instead of removing the consts, this change defines the
list_cmp_func_t type and changes the comparison function types of
all list_sort() callers to use const pointers, thus avoiding type
mismatches.

Before this patch, glock.c maintained a flag, GLF_QUEUED, which indicated
when a glock had a holder queued. It was only checked for inode glocks,
although set and cleared by all glocks, and it was only used to determine
whether the glock should be held for the minimum hold time before releasing.
The problem is that the flag is not accurate at all. If a process holds
the glock, the flag is set. When they dequeue the glock, it only cleared
the flag in cases when the state actually changed. So if the state doesn't
change, the flag may still be set, even when nothing is queued.
This happens to iopen glocks often: the get held in SH, then the file is
closed, but the glock remains in SH mode.
We don't need a special flag to indicate this: we can simply tell whether
the glock has any items queued to the holders queue. It's a waste of cpu
time to maintain it.
This patch eliminates the flag in favor of simply checking list_empty
on the glock holders.

When trying to upgrade the iopen glock from a shared to an exclusive lock in
gfs2_evict_inode, abort the wait if there is contention on the corresponding
inode glock: in that case, the inode must still be in active use on another
node, and we're not guaranteed to get the iopen glock anytime soon.
To make this work even better, when we notice contention on the iopen glock and
we can't evict the corresponsing inode and release the iopen glock immediately,
poke the inode glock. The other node(s) trying to acquire the lock can then
abort instead of timing out.

reading in the inode. The same applies if another node that had the

When there's contention on the iopen glock, it means that the link count
of the corresponding inode has dropped to zero on a remote node which is
now trying to delete the inode. In that case, try to evict the inode so
that the iopen glock will be released, which will allow the remote node
to do its job.
When the inode is still open locally, the inode's reference count won't
drop to zero and so we'll keep holding the inode and its iopen glock.
The remote node will time out its request to grab the iopen glock, and
when the inode is finally closed locally, we'll try to delete it
ourself.

This reverts commit df5db5f9ee.
This patch fixes a regression: patch df5db5f9ee allowed function
run_queue() to bypass its call to do_xmote() if revokes were queued for
the glock. That's wrong because its call to do_xmote() is what is
responsible for calling the go_sync() glops functions to sync both
the ail list and any revokes queued for it. By bypassing the call,
gfs2 could get into a stand-off where the glock could not be demoted
until its revokes are written back, but the revokes would not be
written back because do_xmote() was never called.
It "sort of" works, however, because there are other mechanisms like
the log flush daemon (logd) that can sync the ail items and revokes,
if it deems it necessary. The problem is: without file system pressure,
it might never deem it necessary.
Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>
Before this patch, if the go_sync operation returned an error during
the do_xmote process (such as unable to sync metadata to the journal)
the code did goto out. That kept the glock locked, so it could not be
given away, which correctly avoids file system corruption. However,
it never set the withdraw bit or requeueing the glock work. So it would
hang forever, unable to ever demote the glock.
This patch changes to goto to a new label, skip_inval, so that errors
from go_sync are treated the same way as errors from go_inval:
The delayed withdraw bit is set and the work is requeued. That way,
the logd should eventually figure out there's a problem and withdraw
properly there.

which resulted in a corrupted spin_lock value.

possible due to an io error or whatever, do_xmote would continue on
and call go_inval and release the glock to other cluster nodes.
When those nodes go to replay the journal, they may already be holding
glocks for the journal records that should have been synced, but were
not due to the ignored error.

Before this patch, run_queue would demote glocks based on whether
there are any more holders. But if the glock has pending revokes that
haven't been written to the media, giving up the glock might end in
file system corruption if the revokes never get written due to
io errors, node crashes and fences, etc. In that case, another node
will replay the metadata blocks associated with the glock, but
because the revoke was never written, it could replay that block
even though the glock had since been granted to another node who
might have made changes.
This patch changes the logic in run_queue so that it never demotes
a glock until its count of pending revokes reaches zero.

Before this patch, function do_xmote just assumed all the writes
submitted to the journal were finished and successful, and it
called the go_unlock function to release the dlm lock. But if
they're not, and a revoke failed to make its way to the journal,
a journal replay on another node will cause corruption if we
let the go_inval function continue and tell dlm to release the
glock to another node. This patch adds a couple checks for errors
in do_xmote after the calls to go_sync and go_inval. If an error
is found, we cannot withdraw yet, because the withdraw itself
uses glocks to make the file system read-only. Instead, we flag
the error. Later, asserts should cause another node to replay
the journal before continuing, thus protecting rgrp and dinode
glocks and maintaining the integrity of the metadata. Note that
we only need to do this for journaled glocks. System glocks
should be able to progress even under withdrawn conditions.

Before this patch, the rgrp_go_inval and inode_go_inval functions each
checked if there were any items left on the ail count (by way of a
count), and if so, did a withdraw. But the withdraw code now uses
glocks when changing the file system to read-only status. So we can
not have glock functions withdrawing or a hang will likely result:
The glocks can't be serviced by the work_func if the work_func is
busy doing its own withdraw.
This patch removes the checks from the go_inval functions and adds
a centralized check in do_xmote to warn about the problem and not
withdraw, but flag the error so it's eventually caught when the logd
daemon eventually runs.

When a node withdraws from a file system, it often leaves its journal
in an incomplete state. This is especially true when the withdraw is
caused by io errors writing to the journal. Before this patch, a
withdraw would try to write a "shutdown" record to the journal, tell
dlm it's done with the file system, and none of the other nodes
know about the problem. Later, when the problem is fixed and the
withdrawn node is rebooted, it would then discover that its own
journal was incomplete, and replay it. However, replaying it at this
point is almost guaranteed to introduce corruption because the other
nodes are likely to have used affected resource groups that appeared
in the journal since the time of the withdraw. Replaying the journal
later will overwrite any changes made, and not through any fault of
dlm, which was instructed during the withdraw to release those
resources.
This patch makes file system withdraws seen by the entire cluster.
Withdrawing nodes dequeue their journal glock to allow recovery.
The remaining nodes check all the journals to see if they are
clean or in need of replay. They try to replay dirty journals, but
only the journals of withdrawn nodes will be "not busy" and
therefore available for replay.
Until the journal replay is complete, no i/o related glocks may be
given out, to ensure that the replay does not cause the
aforementioned corruption: We cannot allow any journal replay to
overwrite blocks associated with a glock once it is held.
The "live" glock which is now used to signal when a withdraw
occurs. When a withdraw occurs, the node signals its withdraw by
dequeueing the "live" glock and trying to enqueue it in EX mode,
thus forcing the other nodes to all see a demote request, by way
of a "1CB" (one callback) try lock. The "live" glock is not
granted in EX; the callback is only just used to indicate a
withdraw has occurred.
Note that all nodes in the cluster must wait for the recovering
node to finish replaying the withdrawing node's journal before
continuing. To this end, it checks that the journals are clean
multiple times in a retry loop.
Also note that the withdraw function may be called from a wide
variety of situations, and therefore, we need to take extra
precautions to make sure pointers are valid before using them in
many circumstances.
We also need to take care when glocks decide to withdraw, since
the withdraw code now uses glocks.
Also, before this patch, if a process encountered an error and
decided to withdraw, if another process was already withdrawing,
the second withdraw would be silently ignored, which set it free
to unlock its glocks. That's correct behavior if the original
withdrawer encounters further errors down the road. But if
secondary waiters don't wait for the journal replay, unlocking
glocks will allow other nodes to use them, despite the fact that
the journal containing those blocks is being replayed. The
replay needs to finish before our glocks are released to other
nodes. IOW, secondary withdraws need to wait for the first
withdraw to finish.
For example, if an rgrp glock is unlocked by a process that didn't
wait for the first withdraw, a journal replay could introduce file
system corruption by replaying a rgrp block that has already been
granted to a different cluster node.

We need to allow some glocks to be enqueued, dequeued, promoted, and demoted
when we're withdrawn. For example, to maintain metadata integrity, we should
disallow the use of inode and rgrp glocks when withdrawn. Other glocks, like
iopen or the transaction glocks may be safely used because none of their
metadata goes through the journal. So in general, we should disallow all
glocks with an address space, and allow all the others. One exception is:
we need to allow our active journal to be demoted so others may recover it.
Allowing glocks after withdraw gives us the ability to take appropriate
action (in a following patch) to have our journal properly replayed by
another node rather than just abandoning the current transactions and
pretending nothing bad happened, leaving the other nodes free to modify
the blocks we had in our journal, which may result in file system
corruption.

Before this patch, the rgrp code had a serious problem related to
how it managed buffer_heads for resource groups. The problem caused
file system corruption, especially in cases of journal replay.
When an rgrp glock was demoted to transfer ownership to a
different cluster node, do_xmote() first calls rgrp_go_sync and then
rgrp_go_inval, as expected. When it calls rgrp_go_sync, that called
gfs2_rgrp_brelse() that dropped the buffer_head reference count.
In most cases, the reference count went to zero, which is right.
However, there were other places where the buffers are handled
differently.
After rgrp_go_sync, do_xmote called rgrp_go_inval which called
gfs2_rgrp_brelse a second time, then rgrp_go_inval's call to
truncate_inode_pages_range would get rid of the pages in memory,
but only if the reference count drops to 0.
Unfortunately, gfs2_rgrp_brelse was setting bi->bi_bh = NULL.
So when rgrp_go_sync called gfs2_rgrp_brelse, it lost the pointer
to the buffer_heads in cases where the reference count was still 1.
Therefore, when rgrp_go_inval called gfs2_rgrp_brelse a second time,
it failed the check for "if (bi->bi_bh)" and thus failed to call
brelse a second time. Because of that, the reference count on those
buffers sometimes failed to drop from 1 to 0. And that caused
function truncate_inode_pages_range to keep the pages in page cache
rather than freeing them.
The next time the rgrp glock was acquired, the metadata read of
the rgrp buffers re-used the pages in memory, which were now
wrong because they were likely modified by the other node who
acquired the glock in EX (which is why we demoted the glock).
This re-use of the page cache caused corruption because changes
made by the other nodes were never seen, so the bitmaps were
inaccurate.
For some reason, the problem became most apparent when journal
replay forced the replay of rgrps in memory, which caused newer
rgrp data to be overwritten by the older in-core pages.
A big part of the problem was that the rgrp buffer were released
in multiple places: The go_unlock function would release them when
the glock was released rather than when the glock is demoted,
which is clearly wrong because our intent was to cache them until
the glock is demoted from SH or EX.
This patch attempts to clean up the mess and make one consistent
and centralized mechanism for managing the rgrp buffer_heads by
implementing several changes:
1. It eliminates the call to gfs2_rgrp_brelse() from rgrp_go_sync.
We don't want to release the buffers or zero the pointers when
syncing for the reasons stated above. It only makes sense to
release them when the glock is actually invalidated (go_inval).
And when we do, then we set the bh pointers to NULL.
2. The go_unlock function (which was only used for rgrps) is
eliminated, as we've talked about doing many times before.
The go_unlock function was called too early in the glock dq
process, and should not happen until the glock is invalidated.
3. It also eliminates the call to rgrp_brelse in gfs2_clear_rgrpd.
That will now happen automatically when the rgrp glocks are
demoted, and shouldn't happen any sooner or later than that.
Instead, function gfs2_clear_rgrpd has been modified to demote
the rgrp glocks, and therefore, free those pages, before the
remaining glocks are culled by gfs2_gl_hash_clear. This
prevents the gl_object from hanging around when the glocks are
culled.

This patch closes a timing window in which two processes compete
and overlap in the execution of do_xmote for the same glock:
Process A Process B
------------------------------------ -----------------------------
1. Grabs gl_lockref and calls do_xmote
2. Grabs gl_lockref but is blocked
3. Sets GLF_INVALIDATE_IN_PROGRESS
4. Unlocks gl_lockref
5. Calls do_xmote
6. Call glops->go_sync
7. test_and_clear_bit GLF_DIRTY
8. Call gfs2_log_flush Call glops->go_sync
9. (slow IO, so it blocks a long time) test_and_clear_bit GLF_DIRTY
It's not dirty (step 7) returns
10. Tests GLF_INVALIDATE_IN_PROGRESS
11. Calls go_inval (rgrp_go_inval)
12. gfs2_rgrp_relse does brelse
13. truncate_inode_pages_range
14. Calls lm_lock UN
In step 14 we've just told dlm to give the glock to another node
when, in fact, process A has not finished the IO and synced all
buffer_heads to disk and make sure their revokes are done.
This patch fixes the problem by changing the GLF_INVALIDATE_IN_PROGRESS
to use test_and_set_bit, and if the bit is already set, process B just
ignores it and trusts that process A will do the do_xmote in the proper
order.
