Fix several issues in the previous gfs2_find_jhead fix:
* When updating @blocks_submitted, @block refers to the first block block not
submitted yet, not the last block submitted, so fix an off-by-one error.
* We want to ensure that @blocks_submitted is far enough ahead of @blocks_read
to guarantee that there is in-flight I/O. Otherwise, we'll eventually end up
waiting for pages that haven't been submitted, yet.
* It's much easier to compare the number of blocks added with the number of
blocks submitted to limit the maximum bio size.
* Even with bio chaining, we can keep adding blocks until we reach the maximum
bio size, as long as we stop at a page boundary. This simplifies the logic.

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.

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.

It turns out that when extending an existing bio, gfs2_find_jhead fails to

fragmented journals.
In addition, limit the maximum bio size to an arbitrary value of 2 megabytes:
since commit 07173c3ec2 ("block: enable multipage bvecs"), if we just keep
adding pages until bio_add_page fails, bios will grow much larger than useful,
which pins more memory than necessary with barely any additional performance

Before this patch, when the logd daemon was forced to withdraw, it
would try to request its journal be recovered by another cluster node.
However, in single-user cases with lock_nolock, there are no other
nodes to recover the journal. Function signal_our_withdraw() was
recognizing the lock_nolock situation, but not until after it had
evicted its journal inode. Since the journal descriptor that points
to the inode was never removed from the master list, when the unmount
occurred, it did another iput on the evicted inode, which resulted in
a BUG_ON(inode->i_state & I_CLEAR).
This patch moves the check for this situation earlier in function
signal_our_withdraw(), which avoids the extra iput, so the unmount
may happen normally.

After a gfs2 file system withdraw, any attempt to read metadata is
automatically rejected by function gfs2_meta_read() except for reads
of the journal inode. This turns out to be a problem because function
signal_our_withdraw() repeatedly calls check_journal_clean() which reads
the metadata (both its dinode and indirect blocks) to see if the entire
journal is mapped. The dinode read works, but reading the indirect blocks
returns -EIO which gets sent back up and causes a consistency error.
This results in withdraw-from-withdraw, which becomes a deadlock.
This patch changes the test in gfs2_meta_read() to allow all metadata
reads for the journal. Instead of checking the journal block, it now
checks for the journal inode glock which is the same for all blocks in
the journal. This allows check_journal_clean() to properly check the
journal without trying to withdraw recursively.

Ordinarily, function gfs2_ail1_start_one issues a write request
for one item on the ail1 list, then returns -EBUSY. This makes the
caller, gfs2_ail1_flush, loop around and start another. However,
it was not clearing the -EBUSY return code each time through the loop.
So on rare occasions, like when the wbc runs out of nr_to_write, it
remained set to -EBUSY, which triggered an error and withdraw.
This patch sets the return code to 0 each time through the restart
loop so this won't happen anymore.

Before this patch, multiple users called gfs2_qa_alloc which allocated
a qadata structure to the inode, if quotas are turned on. Later, in
file close or evict, the structure was deleted with gfs2_qa_delete.
But there can be several competing processes who need access to the
structure. There were races between file close (release) and the others.
Thus, a release could delete the structure out from under a process
that relied upon its existence. For example, chown.
This patch changes the management of the qadata structures to be
a get/put scheme. Function gfs2_qa_alloc has been changed to gfs2_qa_get
and if the structure is allocated, the count essentially starts out at
1. Function gfs2_qa_delete has been renamed to gfs2_qa_put, and the
last guy to decrement the count to 0 frees the memory.

But that revoke still needs to be written, and the rgrp_go_inval

properly written to the journal before we relinquish control of
the glock to another node. If we give the glock to another node
before we have this knowledge, the node might crash and its journal

Before this patch, function gfs2_write_revokes would call
gfs2_ail1_empty, then traverse the sd_ail1_list looking for
transactions that had bds which were no longer queued to a glock.
And if it found some, it would try to issue revokes for them, up to
a predetermined maximum. There were two problems with how it did
this. First was the fact that gfs2_ail1_empty moves transactions
which have nothing remaining on the ail1 list from the sd_ail1_list
to the sd_ail2_list, thus making its traversal of sd_ail1_list
miss them completely, and therefore, never issue revokes for them.
Second was the fact that there were three traversals (or partial
traversals) of the sd_ail1_list, each of which took and then
released the sd_ail_lock lock: First inside gfs2_ail1_empty,
second to determine if there are any revokes to be issued, and
third to actually issue them. All this taking and releasing of the
sd_ail_lock meant other processes could modify the lists and the
conditions in which we're working.
This patch simplies the whole process by adding a new parameter
to function gfs2_ail1_empty, max_revokes. For normal calls, this
is passed in as 0, meaning we don't want to issue any revokes.
For function gfs2_write_revokes, we pass in the maximum number
of revokes we can, thus allowing gfs2_ail1_empty to add the
revokes where needed. This simplies the code, allows for a single
holding of the sd_ail_lock, and allows gfs2_ail1_empty to add
revokes for all the necessary bd items without missing any.

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.

When a node fails, user space informs dlm of the node failure,
and dlm instructs gfs2 on the surviving nodes to perform journal
recovery. It does this by calling various callback functions in
lock_dlm.c. To mark its progress, it keeps generation numbers
and recover bits in a dlm "control" lock lvb, which is seen by
all nodes to determine which journals need to be replayed.
The gfs2 on all nodes get the same recovery requests from dlm,
so they all try to do the recovery, but only one will be
granted the exclusive lock on the journal. The others fail
with a "Busy" message on their "try lock."
However, when a node is withdrawn, it cannot safely do any
recovery or replay any journals. To make matters worse,
gfs2 might withdraw as a result of attempting recovery. For
example, this might happen if the device goes offline, or if
an hba fails. But in today's gfs2 code, it doesn't check for
being withdrawn at any step in the recovery process. What's
worse is that these callbacks from dlm have no return code,
so there is no way to indicate failure back to dlm. We can
send a "Recovery failed" uevent eventually, but that tells
user space what happened, not dlm's kernel code.
Before this patch, lock_dlm would perform its recovery steps but
ignore the result, and eventually it would still update its
generation number in the lvb, despite the fact that it may have
withdrawn or encountered an error. The other nodes would then
see the newer generation number in the lvb and conclude that
they don't need to do recovery because the generation number
is newer than the last one they saw. They think a different
node has already recovered the journal.
This patch adds checks to several of the callbacks used by dlm
in its recovery state machine so that the functions are ignored
and skipped if an io error has occurred or if the file system
is withdrawn. That prevents the lvb bits from being updated, and
therefore dlm and user space still see the need for recovery to
take place.

Before this patch, all io errors received by the quota daemon or the
logd daemon would cause a complaint message to be issued, such as:
gfs2: fsid=dm-13.0: Error 10 writing to journal, jid=0
This patch changes it so that the error message is only issued the
first time the error is encountered.
Also, before this patch function gfs2_end_log_write did not set the
sd_log_error value, so log errors would not cause the file system to
be withdrawn. This patch sets the error code so the file system is
properly withdrawn if an io error is encountered writing to the journal.
WARNING: This change in function breaks check xfstests generic/441
and causes it to fail: io errors writing to the log should cause a
file system to be withdrawn, and no further operations are tolerated.

Before this patch, gfs2 kept track of journal io errors in two
places sd_log_error and the SDF_AIL1_IO_ERROR flag in sd_flags.
This patch consolidates the two into sd_log_error so that it
reflects the first error encountered writing to the journal.
In future patches, we will take advantage of this by checking
this value rather than having to check both when reacting to
io errors.
In addition, this fixes a tight loop in unmount: If buffers
get on the ail1 list and an io error occurs elsewhere, the
ail1 list would never be cleared because they were always busy.
So unmount would hang, waiting for the ail1 list to empty.

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 fixes a bug in which function gfs2_log_flush can get into
an infinite loop when a gfs2 file system is withdrawn. The problem
is the infinite loop "for (;;)" in gfs2_log_flush which would never
finish because the io error and subsequent withdraw prevented the
items from being taken off the ail list.
This patch tries to clean up the mess by allowing withdraw situations
to move not-in-flight buffer_heads to the ail2 list, where they will
be dealt with later.
