…teve/gfs2-3.0-nmw into next
Pull gfs2 updates from Steven Whitehouse:
"This must be about the smallest merge window patch set ever for GFS2.
It is probably also the first one without a single patch from me.
That is down to a combination of factors, and I have some things in
the works that are not quite ready yet, that I hope to put in next
time around.Returning to what is here this time... we have 3 patches which fix
various warnings. Two are bug fixes (for quotas and also a rare
recovery race condition). The final patch, from Ben Marzinski, is an
important change in the freeze code which has been in progress for
some time. This removes the need to take and drop the transaction
lock for every single transaction, when the only time it was used, was
at file system freeze time. Ben's patch integrates the freeze
operation into the journal flush code as an alternative with lower
overheads and also lands up resolving some difficult to fix races at
the same time"* tag 'gfs2-merge-window' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/steve/gfs2-3.0-nmw:

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.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski

There is no need for a paramater which relates to the internals
of quota to be exposed to users. The only possible use would be
to turn it up so large that the memory allocation fails. So lets
remove it and set it to a sensible value which ensures that we
don't ask for multipage allocations.Currently the size of struct gfs2_holder means that the caluclated
value is identical to the previous default value, so there should
be no functional change.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

"This set of changes starts with a few small enhnacements to the user

support for mounting devpts, ramfs, tmpfs, and mqueuefs as just the

enabled you will need to enable memory control groups.There is a minor bug fix to prevent overflowing the stack if someone
creates way too many user namespaces.The bulk of the changes are a continuation of the kuid/kgid push down
work through the filesystems. These changes make using uids and gids
typesafe which ensures that these filesystems are safe to use when
multiple user namespaces are in use. The filesystems converted for
3.9 are ceph, 9p, afs, ocfs2, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, and cifs. The
changes for these filesystems were a little more involved so I split
the changes into smaller hopefully obviously correct changes.XFS is the only filesystem that remains. I was hoping I could get

The freeze code has not been looked at a lot recently. Upstream has
moved on, and this is an attempt to catch us back up again. There
is a vfs level interface for the freeze code which can be called
from our (obsolete, but kept for backward compatibility purposes)
sysfs freeze interface. This means freezing this way vs. doing it
from the ioctl should now work in identical fashion.As a result of this, the freeze function is only called once
and we can drop our own special purpose code for counting the
number of freezes.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

There is a potential race during filesystem mounting which has recently
been reported. It occurs when the userland gfs_controld is able to
process requests fast enough that it tries to use the sysfs interface
before the lock module is properly initialised. This is a pretty
unusual case as normally the lock module initialisation is very quick
compared with gfs_controld.This patch adds an interruptible completion which is used to ensure that
userland will wait for the initialisation of the lock module to
complete.There are other potential solutions to this problem, but this is the
quickest at this stage and has been tested both with and without
mount.gfs2 present in the system.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

Recently a feature was added to GFS2 to allow journal id allocation
via sysfs. This patch builds upon that so that a negative journal id
will be treated as an error code to be passed back as the return code
from mount. This allows termination of the mount process if there is
a failure.Also, the process has been updated so that the kernel will wait
for a journal id, even in the "spectator" case. This is required
in order to avoid mounting a filesystem in case there is an error
while joining the cluster. In the spectator case, 0 is written into
the file to indicate that all is well, and that mount should continue.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

This patch implements a wait for the journal id in the case that it has
not been specified on the command line. This is to allow the future
removal of the mount.gfs2 helper. The journal id would instead be
directly communicated by gfs_controld to the file system. Here is a
comparison of the two systems:Current:
1. mount calls mount.gfs2
2. mount.gfs2 connects to gfs_controld to retrieve the journal id
3. mount.gfs2 adds the journal id to the mount command line and calls
the mount system call
4. gfs_controld receives the status of the mount request via a ueventProposed:
1. mount calls the mount system call (no mount.gfs2 helper)
2. gfs_controld receives a uevent for a gfs2 fs which it doesn't know
about already
3. gfs_controld assigns a journal id to it via sysfs
4. the mount system call then completes as normal (sending a uevent
according to status)The advantage of the proposed system is that it is completely backward
compatible with the current system both at the kernel and at the
userland levels. The "first" parameter can also be set the same way,
with the restriction that it must be set before the journal id is
assigned.In addition, if mount becomes stuck waiting for a reply from
gfs_controld which never arrives, then it is killable and will abort the
mount gracefully.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

This patch contains various tweaks to how log flushes and active item writeback
work. gfs2_logd is now managed by a waitqueue, and gfs2_log_reseve now waits
for gfs2_logd to do the log flushing. Multiple functions were rewritten to
remove the need to call gfs2_log_lock(). Instead of using one test to see if
gfs2_logd had work to do, there are now seperate tests to check if there
are two many buffers in the incore log or if there are two many items on the
active items list.This patch is a port of a patch Steve Whitehouse wrote about a year ago, with
some minor changes. Since gfs2_ail1_start always submits all the active items,
it no longer needs to keep track of the first ai submitted, so this has been
removed. In gfs2_log_reserve(), the order of the calls to
prepare_to_wait_exclusive() and wake_up() when firing off the logd thread has
been switched. If it called wake_up first there was a small window for a race,
where logd could run and return before gfs2_log_reserve was ready to get woken
up. If gfs2_logd ran, but did not free up enough blocks, gfs2_log_reserve()
would be left waiting for gfs2_logd to eventualy run because it timed out.
Finally, gt_logd_secs, which controls how long to wait before gfs2_logd times
out, and flushes the log, can now be set on mount with ar_commit.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski

…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>

Currenly sync_quota_sb does a lot of sync and truncate action that only
applies to "VFS" style quotas and is actively harmful for the sync
performance in XFS. Move it into vfs_quota_sync and add a wait parameter
to ->quota_sync to tell if we need it or not.My audit of the GFS2 code says it's also not needed given the way GFS2
implements quotas, but I'd be happy if this can get a detailed review.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

As a consequence of the previous patch, we can now remove the
loop which used to be required due to the circular dependency
between the inodes and glocks. Instead we can just invalidate
the inodes, and then clear up any glocks which are left.Also we no longer need the rwsem since there is no longer any
danger of the inode invalidation calling back into the glock
code (and from there back into the inode code).Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

For some reason, the errors were not making it to userspace.

These two functions are altered so that gfs2_quota_sync may
in future be called directly from the VFS. The GFS2 superblock
changes to a VFS super block and there is an addition of an int
argument which is currently ignored.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse
