Change how callbacks are recorded for locks. Previously, information
about multiple callbacks was combined into a couple of variables that
indicated what the end result should be. In some situations, we
could not tell from this combined state what the exact sequence of
callbacks were, and would end up either delivering the callbacks in
the wrong order, or suppress redundant callbacks incorrectly. This
new approach records all the data for each callback, leaving no
uncertainty about what needs to be delivered.Signed-off-by: David Teigland

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.===== begin semantic patch =====

…it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

When both blocking and completion callbacks are queued for lock,
the dlm would always deliver the completion callback (cast) first.
In some cases the blocking callback (bast) is queued before the
cast, though, and should be delivered first. This patch keeps
track of the order in which they were queued and delivers them
in that order.This patch also keeps track of the granted mode in the last cast
and eliminates the following bast if the bast mode is compatible
with the preceding cast mode. This happens when a remotely mastered
lock is demoted, e.g. EX->NL, in which case the local node queues
a cast immediately after sending the demote message. In this way
a cast can be queued for a mode, e.g. NL, that makes an in-transit
bast extraneous.Signed-off-by: David Teigland

Replace all GFP_KERNEL and ls_allocation with GFP_NOFS.
ls_allocation would be GFP_KERNEL for userland lockspaces
and GFP_NOFS for file system lockspaces.It was discovered that any lockspaces on the system can
affect all others by triggering memory reclaim in the
file system which could in turn call back into the dlm
to acquire locks, deadlocking dlm threads that were
shared by all lockspaces, like dlm_recv.Signed-off-by: David Teigland

Using offsetof() to calculate name length does not work because
it does not produce consistent results with with structure packing.
This caused memcpy to corrupt memory by copying 4 extra bytes off
the end of the buffer on 64 bit kernels with 32 bit userspace
(the only case where this 32/64 compat code is used).The fix is to calculate name length directly from the start instead
of trying to derive it later using count and offsetof.Signed-off-by: David Teigland

The lkb bastmode value is set in the context of processing the
lock, and read by the dlm_astd thread. Because it's accessed
in these two separate contexts, the writing/reading ought to
be done under a lock. This is simple to do by setting it and
reading it when the lkb is added to and removed from dlm_astd's
callback list which is properly locked.Signed-off-by: David Teigland

If dlm_controld (the userspace daemon that controls the setup and
recovery of the dlm) fails, the kernel should shut down the lockspaces
in the kernel rather than leaving them running. This is detected by
having dlm_controld hold a misc device open while running, and if
the kernel detects a close while the daemon is still needed, it stops
the lockspaces in the kernel.Knowing that the userspace daemon isn't running also allows the
lockspace create/remove routines to avoid waiting on the daemon
for join/leave operations.Signed-off-by: David Teigland

Change the user/kernel device interface used by libdlm:
- Add ability for userspace to check the version of the interface. libdlm
can now adapt to different versions of the kernel interface.
- Increase the size of the flags passed in a lock request so all possible
flags can be used from userspace.
- Add an opaque "xid" value for each lock. This "transaction id" will be
used later to associate locks with each other during deadlock detection.
- Add a "timeout" value for each lock. This is used along with the
DLM_LKF_TIMEOUT flag.Also, remove a fragment of unused code in device_read().

kernel dlm users if there's a use for it.)If the new DLM_LSFL_TIMEWARN flag is set when creating the lockspace, then
a warning message will be sent to userspace (using genetlink) after a
request/conversion has been waiting for a given number of centiseconds
(configurable per node). The time warnings will be used in the future
to do deadlock detection in userspace.Signed-off-by: David Teigland

Full cancel and force-unlock support. In the past, cancel and force-unlock
wouldn't work if there was another operation in progress on the lock. Now,
both cancel and unlock-force can overlap an operation on a lock, meaning there
may be 2 or 3 operations in progress on a lock in parallel. This support is
important not only because cancel and force-unlock are explicit operations
that an app can use, but both are used implicitly when a process exits while
holding locks.Summary of changes:
- add-to and remove-from waiters functions were rewritten to handle situations
with more than one remote operation outstanding on a lock- validate_unlock_args detects when an overlapping cancel/unlock-force
can be sent and when it needs to be delayed until a request/lookup
reply is received- processing request/lookup replies detects when cancel/unlock-force
occured during the op, and carries out the delayed cancel/unlock-force- manipulation of the "waiters" (remote operation) state of a lock moved under
the standard rsb mutex that protects all the other lock state- the two recovery routines related to locks on the waiters list changed
according to the way lkb's are now locked before accessing waiters state- waiters recovery detects when lkb's being recovered have overlapping
cancel/unlock-force, and may not recover such locks- revert_lock (cancel) returns a value to distinguish cases where it did
nothing vs cases where it actually did a cancel; the cancel completion ast
should only be done when cancel did something- orphaned locks put on new list so they can be found later for purging
- cancel must be called on a lock when making it an orphan
- flag user locks (ENDOFLIFE) at the end of their useful life (to the
application) so we can return an error for any further cancel/unlock-force- we weren't setting COMP/BAST ast flags if one was already set, so we'd lose
either a completion or blocking ast- clear an unread bast on a lock that's become unlocked

Currently if the lockspace removal fails the misc device associated with a
lockspace is left deleted. After that there is no way to access the orphaned
lockspace from userland.This patch recreates the misc device if th dlm_release_lockspace fails. I
believe this is better than attempting to remove the lockspace first because
that leaves an unattached device lying around. The potential gap in which there
is no access to the lockspace between removing the misc device and recreating it
is acceptable ... after all the application is trying to remove it, and only new
users of the lockspace will be affected.Signed-Off-By: Patrick Caulfield

When a user process exits, we clear all the locks it holds. There is a
problem, though, with locks that the process had begun unlocking before it
exited. We couldn't find the lkb's that were in the process of being
unlocked remotely, to flag that they are DEAD. To solve this, we move
lkb's being unlocked onto a new list in the per-process structure that
tracks what locks the process is holding. We can then go through this
list to flag the necessary lkb's when clearing locks for a process when it
exits.Signed-off-by: David Teigland
