ocfs2_quota_wq is not depended upon during memory reclaim and, with
cmwq, there's no reason to use a dedicated workqueue. Drop
ocfs2_quota_wq and use system_wq instead. dqi_sync_work is already
sync canceled on quota disable and no further synchronization is
necessary.This change makes ocfs2_quota_setup/shutdown() noops. Both functions
removed.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

commit_dqblk() can write quota info to global file. That is actually a bad
thing to do because if we are just modifying local quota file, we are not
prepared (do not hold proper locks, do not have transaction credits) to do
a modification of the global quota file. So do not use commit_dqblk() and
instead call our writing function directly.Acked-by: Joel Becker

OCFS2 had three issues with quota locking:
a) When reading dquot from global quota file, we started a transaction while
holding dqio_mutex which is prone to deadlocks because other paths do it
the other way around
b) During ocfs2_sync_dquot we were not protected against concurrent writers
on the same node. Because we first copy data to local buffer, a race
could happen resulting in old data being written to global quota file and
thus causing quota inconsistency after a crash.
c) ip_alloc_sem of quota files was acquired while a transaction is started
in ocfs2_quota_write which can deadlock because we first get ip_alloc_sem
and then start a transaction when extending quota files.We fix the problem a) by pulling all necessary code to ocfs2_acquire_dquot
and ocfs2_release_dquot. Thus we no longer depend on generic dquot_acquire
to do the locking and can force proper lock ordering.Problems b) and c) are fixed by locking i_mutex and ip_alloc_sem of
global quota file in ocfs2_lock_global_qf and removing ip_alloc_sem from
ocfs2_quota_read and ocfs2_quota_write.Acked-by: Joel Becker

The position of global quota file info does not change. So we do not have
to do logical -> physical block translation every time we reread it from
disk. Thus we can also avoid taking ip_alloc_sem.Acked-by: Joel Becker

There is no need to map offset of local dquot structure to on disk block
in each quota write. It is enough to map it just once and store the physical
block number in quota structure in memory. Moreover this simplifies locking
as we do not have to take ip_alloc_sem from quota write path.Acked-by: Joel Becker

syncjiff is just a converted value of syncms. Some places which
are updating syncms forgot to update syncjiff as well. Since the
conversion is just a simple division / multiplication and it does
not happen frequently, just remove the syncjiff field to avoid
forgotten conversions.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

ocfs2_bread() has become ocfs2_read_virt_blocks(), with a prototype to
match ocfs2_read_blocks(). The quota code, converting from
ocfs2_bread(), wraps the call to ocfs2_read_virt_blocks() in
ocfs2_read_quota_block(). Unfortunately, the prototype of
ocfs2_read_quota_block() matches the old prototype of ocfs2_bread().The problem is that ocfs2_bread() returned the buffer head, and callers
assumed that a NULL pointer was indicative of error. It wasn't. This
is why ocfs2_bread() took an int*err argument as well.The new prototype of ocfs2_read_virt_blocks() avoids this error handling
confusion. Let's change ocfs2_read_quota_block() to match.Signed-off-by: Joel Becker

This patch creates a work queue for periodic syncing of locally cached quota
information to the global quota files. We constantly queue a delayed work
item, to get the periodic behavior.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh

For each quota type each node has local quota file. In this file it stores
changes users have made to disk usage via this node. Once in a while this
information is synced to global file (and thus with other nodes) so that
limits enforcement at least aproximately works.Global quota files contain all the information about usage and limits. It's
mostly handled by the generic VFS code (which implements a trie of structures
inside a quota file). We only have to provide functions to convert structures
from on-disk format to in-memory one. We also have to provide wrappers for
various quota functions starting transactions and acquiring necessary cluster
locks before the actual IO is really started.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara
