gl_lockref lockref and defined gl_spin as gl_lockref.lock (the spinlock in
gl_lockref). Remove that define to make the references to gl_lockref.lock more

A new field 'min_target', when non-zero, tells gfs2_quota_check()

Use struct gfs2_alloc_parms as an argument to gfs2_quota_check()

accounting for the new blocks requested by the current operation
in ap->target.
Previously, the number of new blocks requested during an operation
were not accounted for during quota_check and would allow these
operations to exceed quota. This was not very apparent since most
operations allocated only 1 block at a time and quotas would get
violated in the next operation. i.e. quota excess would only be by
1 block or so. With fallocate, (where we allocate a bunch of blocks
at once) the quota excess is non-trivial and is addressed by this

The current gfs2 freezing code is considerably more complicated than it
should be because it doesn't use the vfs freezing code on any node except
the one that begins the freeze. This is because it needs to acquire a
cluster glock before calling the vfs code to prevent a deadlock, and
without the new freeze_super and thaw_super hooks, that was impossible. To
deal with the issue, gfs2 had to do some hacky locking tricks to make sure
that a frozen node couldn't be holding on a lock it needed to do the
unfreeze ioctl.
This patch makes use of the new hooks to simply the gfs2 locking code. Now,
all the nodes in the cluster freeze and thaw in exactly the same way. Every
node in the cluster caches the freeze glock in the shared state. The new
freeze_super hook allows the freezing node to grab this freeze glock in
the exclusive state without first calling the vfs freeze_super function.
All the nodes in the cluster see this lock change, and call the vfs
freeze_super function. The vfs locking code guarantees that the nodes can't
get stuck holding the glocks necessary to unfreeze the system. To
unfreeze, the freezing node uses the new thaw_super hook to drop the freeze
glock. Again, all the nodes notice this, reacquire the glock in shared mode
and call the vfs thaw_super function.

GFS2 has a transaction glock, which must be grabbed for every
transaction, whose purpose is to deal with freezing the filesystem.
Aside from this involving a large amount of locking, it is very easy to
make the current fsfreeze code hang on unfreezing.
This patch rewrites how gfs2 handles freezing the filesystem. The
transaction glock is removed. In it's place is a freeze glock, which is
cached (but not held) in a shared state by every node in the cluster
when the filesystem is mounted. This lock only needs to be grabbed on
freezing, and actions which need to be safe from freezing, like
recovery.
When a node wants to freeze the filesystem, it grabs this glock
exclusively. When the freeze glock state changes on the nodes (either
from shared to unlocked, or shared to exclusive), the filesystem does a
special log flush. gfs2_log_flush() does all the work for flushing out
the and shutting down the incore log, and then it tries to grab the
freeze glock in a shared state again. Since the filesystem is stuck in
gfs2_log_flush, no new transaction can start, and nothing can be written
to disk. Unfreezing the filesytem simply involes dropping the freeze
glock, allowing gfs2_log_flush() to grab and then release the shared
lock, so it is cached for next time.
However, in order for the unfreezing ioctl to occur, gfs2 needs to get a
shared lock on the filesystem root directory inode to check permissions.
If that glock has already been grabbed exclusively, fsfreeze will be
unable to get the shared lock and unfreeze the filesystem.
In order to allow the unfreeze, this patch makes gfs2 grab a shared lock
on the filesystem root directory during the freeze, and hold it until it
unfreezes the filesystem. The functions which need to grab a shared
lock in order to allow the unfreeze ioctl to be issued now use the lock
grabbed by the freeze code instead.
The freeze and unfreeze code take care to make sure that this shared
lock will not be dropped while another process is using it.

This patch fixes a long standing issue in mapping the journal
extents. Most journals will consist of only a single extent,
and although the cache took account of that by merging extents,
it did not actually map large extents, but instead was doing a
block by block mapping. Since the journal was only being mapped
on mount, this was not normally noticeable.
With the updated code, it is now possible to use the same extent
mapping system during journal recovery (which will be added in a
later patch). This will allow checking of the integrity of the
journal before any reply of the journal content is attempted. For
this reason the code is moving to bmap.c, since it will be used
more widely in due course.
An exercise left for the reader is to compare the new function
gfs2_map_journal_extents() with gfs2_write_alloc_required()
Additionally, should there be a failure, the error reporting is
also updated to show more detail about what went wrong.

Prior to this patch, GFS2 kept all the quotas for each
super block in a single linked list. This is rather slow
when there are large numbers of quotas.
This patch introduces a hlist_bl based hash table, similar
to the one used for glocks. The initial look up of the quota
is now lockless in the case where it is already cached,
although we still have to take the per quota spinlock in
order to bump the ref count. Either way though, this is a
big improvement on what was there before.
The qd_lock and the per super block list is preserved, for
the time being. However it is intended that since this is no
longer used for its original role, it should be possible to
shrink the number of items on that list in due course and
remove the requirement to take qd_lock in qd_get.

Prior to this patch, GFS2 had one address space for each rgrp,
stored in the glock. This patch changes them to use a single
address space in the super block. This therefore saves
(sizeof(struct address_space) * nr_of_rgrps) bytes of memory
and for large filesystems, that can be significant.
It would be nice to be able to do something similar and merge
the inode metadata address space into the same global
address space. However, that is rather more complicated as the
on-disk location doesn't have a 1:1 mapping with the inodes in
general. So while it could be done, it will be a more complicated
operation as it requires changing a lot more code paths.

Each rgrp header is represented as a single extent on disk, so we
can calculate the position within the address space, since we are
using address spaces mapped 1:1 to the disk. This means that it
is possible to use the range based versions of filemap_fdatawrite/wait
and for invalidating the page cache.
Our eventual intent is to then be able to merge the address spaces
used for rgrps into a single address space, rather than to have
one for each glock, saving memory and reducing complexity.
Since during umount, the rgrp structures are disposed of before
the glocks, we need to store the extent information in the glock
so that is is available for a final invalidation. This patch uses
a field which is otherwise unused in rgrp glocks to do that, so
that we do not have to expand the size of a glock.

Currently glocks have an atomic reference count and also a spinlock
which covers various internal fields, such as the state. This intent of
this patch is to replace the spinlock and the atomic reference count
with a lockref structure. This contains a spinlock which we can continue
to use as before, and a reference counter which is used in conjuction
with the spinlock to replace the previous atomic counter.
As a result of this there are some new rules for reference counting on
glocks. We need to distinguish between reference count changes under
gl_spin (which are now just increment or decrement of the new counter,
provided the count cannot hit zero) and those which are outside of
gl_spin, but which now take gl_spin internally.
The conversion is relatively straight forward. There is probably some
further clean up which can be done, but the priority at this stage is to
make the change in as simple a manner as possible.
A consequence of this change is that the reference count is being
decoupled from the lru list processing. This should allow future
adoption of the lru_list code with glocks in due course.
The reason for using the "dead" state and not just relying on 0 being
the "invalid state" is so that in due course 0 ref counts can be
allowable. The intent is to eventually be able to remove the ref count
changes which are currently hidden away in state_change().

In order to allow transactions and log flushes to happen at the same
time, gfs2 needs to move the transaction accounting and active items
list code into the gfs2_trans structure. As a first step toward this,
this patch removes the gfs2_ail structure, and handles the active items
list in the gfs_trans structure. This keeps gfs2 from allocating an ail
structure on log flushes, and gives us a struture that can later be used
to store the transaction accounting outside of the gfs2 superblock
structure.
With this patch, at the end of a transaction, gfs2 will add the
gfs2_trans structure to the superblock if there is not one already.
This structure now has the active items fields that were previously in
gfs2_ail. This is not necessary in the case where the transaction was
simply used to add revokes, since these are never written outside of the
journal, and thus, don't need an active items list.
Also, in order to make sure that the transaction structure is not
removed while it's still in use by gfs2_trans_end, unlocking the
sd_log_flush_lock has to happen slightly later in ending the
transaction.

Instead of using a list of buffers to write ahead of the journal

as well as much larger i/os being issued.
The ordered write list is sorted by inode number before writing
in order to retain the disk block ordering between inodes as
per the previous code.
The previous ordered write code used to conflict in its assumptions
about how to write out the disk blocks with mpage_writepages()
so that with this updated version we can also use mpage_writepages()
for GFS2's ordered write, writepages implementation. So we will

When unmounting, gfs2 does a full dlm_unlock operation on every
cached lock. This can create a very large amount of work and can
take a long time to complete. However, the vast majority of these
dlm unlock operations are unnecessary because after all the unlocks
are done, gfs2 leaves the dlm lockspace, which automatically clears
the locks of the leaving node, without unlocking each one individually.
So, gfs2 can skip explicit dlm unlocks, and use dlm_release_lockspace to
remove the locks implicitly. The one exception is when the lock's lvb is
being used. In this case, dlm_unlock is called because it may update the
lvb of the resource.

This patch is a rewrite of function gfs2_rbm_from_block. Rather than
looping to find the right bitmap, the code now does a few simple
math calculations.
I compared the performance of both algorithms side by side and the new
algorithm is noticeably faster. Sample instrumentation output from a
"fast" machine:
5 million calls: millisec spent: Orig: 166 New: 113
5 million calls: millisec spent: Orig: 189 New: 114
In addition, I ran postmark (on a somewhat slowr CPU) before the after
the new algorithm was put in place and postmark showed a decent
improvement:
Before the new algorithm:

645 seconds total
584 seconds of transactions (171 per second)
Files:
150087 created (232 per second)
Creation alone: 100000 files (2083 per second)
Mixed with transactions: 50087 files (85 per second)
49995 read (85 per second)
49991 appended (85 per second)
150087 deleted (232 per second)
Deletion alone: 100174 files (7705 per second)
Mixed with transactions: 49913 files (85 per second)
Data:
273.42 megabytes read (434.08 kilobytes per second)
852.13 megabytes written (1.32 megabytes per second)
With the new algorithm:

With the recently added block reservation code, an additional function
was added to search for free blocks. This had a restriction of only being
able to search for aligned extents of free blocks. As a result the
allocation patterns when reserving blocks were suboptimal when the
existing allocation of blocks for an inode was not aligned to the same
boundary.
This patch resolves that problem by adding the ability for gfs2_rbm_find
to search for extents of a particular minimum size. We can then use
gfs2_rbm_find for both looking for reservations, and also looking for
free blocks on an individual basis when we actually come to do the
allocation later on. As a result we only need a single set of code
to deal with both situations.
The function gfs2_rbm_from_block() is moved up rgrp.c so that it
occurs before all of its callers.
Many thanks are due to Bob for helping track down the final issue in
this patch. That fix to the rb_tree traversal and to not share
block reservations from a dirctory to its children is included here.

This patch improves the tracing of block reservations by
removing some corner cases and also providing more useful
detail in the traces.
A new field is added to the reservation structure to contain
the inode number. This is used since in certain contexts it is
not possible to access the inode itself to obtain this information.
As a result we can then display the inode number for all tracepoints
and also in case we dump the resource group.
The "del" tracepoint operation has been removed. This could be called
with the reservation rgrp set to NULL. That resulted in not printing
the device number, and thus making the information largely useless
anyway. Also, the conditional on the rgrp being NULL can then be
removed from the tracepoint. After this change, all the block
reservation tracepoint calls will be called with the rgrp information.
The existing ins,clm and tdel calls to the block reservation tracepoint
are sufficient to track the entire life of the block reservation.
In gfs2_block_alloc() the error detection is updated to print out
the inode number of the problematic inode. This can then be compared
against the information in the glock dump,tracepoints, etc.
