This patch cleans up various pieces of GFS2 to avoid sparse errors.
This doesn't fix them all, but it fixes several. The first error,
in function glock_hash_walk was a genuine bug where the rhashtable
could be started and not stopped.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

Before this patch, multi-block reservation structures were allocated
from a special slab. This patch folds the structure into the gfs2_inode
structure. The disadvantage is that the gfs2_inode needs more memory,
even when a file is opened read-only. The advantages are: (a) we don't
need the special slab and the extra time it takes to allocate and
deallocate from it. (b) we no longer need to worry that the structure
exists for things like quota management. (c) This also allows us to
remove the calls to get_write_access and put_write_access since we
know the structure will exist.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

This patch basically reverts the majority of patch 5407e24.
That patch eliminated the gfs2_qadata structure in favor of just
using the reservations structure. The problem with doing that is that
it increases the size of the reservations structure. That is not an
issue until it comes time to fold the reservations structure into the
inode in memory so we know it's always there. By separating out the
quota structure again, we aren't punishing the non-quota users by
making all the inodes bigger, requiring more slab space. This patch
creates a new slab area to allocate the quota stuff so it's managed
a little more sanely.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

When we read an invalid block from the journal, we should not call
withdraw, but simply print a message and return an error. It is
up to the caller to then handle that error. In the case of mount
that means a failed mount, rather than a withdraw (requiring a
reboot). In the case of recovering another nodes journal then
we return an error via the uevent.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

Prior to this patch, we have two ways of sending i/o to the log.
One of those is used when we need to allocate both the data
to be written itself and also a buffer head to submit it. This
is done via sb_getblk and friends. This is used mostly for writing
log headers.The other method is used when writing blocks which have some
in-place counterpart. This is the case for all the metadata
blocks which are journalled, and when journaled data is in use,
for unescaped journalled data blocks.This patch replaces both of those two methods, and about half
a dozen separate i/o submission points with a single i/o
submission function. We also go direct to bio rather than
using buffer heads, since this allows us to build i/o
requests of the maximum size for the block device in
question. It also reduces the memory required for flushing
the log, which can be very useful in low memory situations.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

In order to ensure that we've got enough buffer heads for flushing
the journal, the orignal code used __GFP_NOFAIL when performing
this allocation. Here we dispense with that in favour of using a
mempool. This should improve efficiency in low memory conditions
since flushing the journal is a good way to get memory back, we
don't want to be spinning, waiting on memory allocations. The
buffers which are allocated via this mempool are fairly short lived,
so that we'll recycle them pretty quickly.Although there are other memory allocations which occur during the
journal flush process, this is the one which can potentially require
the most memory, so the most important one to fix.The amount of memory reserved is a fixed amount, and we should not need
to scale it when there are a greater number of filesystems in use.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

Since the start of GFS2, an "extra" inode has been used to store
the metadata belonging to each inode. The only reason for using
this inode was to have an extra address space, the other fields
were unused. This means that the memory usage was rather inefficient.The reason for keeping each inode's metadata in a separate address
space is that when glocks are requested on remote nodes, we need to
be able to efficiently locate the data and metadata which relating
to that glock (inode) in order to sync or sync and invalidate it
(depending on the remotely requested lock mode).This patch adds a new type of glock, which has in addition to
its normal fields, has an address space. This applies to all
inode and rgrp glocks (but to no other glock types which remain
as before). As a result, we no longer need to have the second
inode.This results in three major improvements:
1. A saving of approx 25% of memory used in caching inodes
2. A removal of the circular dependency between inodes and glocks
3. No confusion between "normal" and "metadata" inodes in super.cAlthough the first of these is the more immediately apparent, the
second is just as important as it now enables a number of clean
ups at umount time. Those will be the subject of future patches.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

This patch is a clean up of gfs2_quotad prior to giving it an
extra job to do in addition to the current portfolio of updating
the quota and statfs information from time to time.As a result it has been moved into quota.c allowing one of the
functions it calls to be made static. Also the clean up allows
the two existing functions to have separate timeouts and also
to coexist with its future role of dealing with the "truncate in
progress" inode flag.The (pointless) setting of gfs2_quotad_secs is removed since we
arrange to only wake up quotad when one of the two timers expires.In addition the struct gfs2_quota_data is moved into a slab cache,
mainly for easier debugging. It should also be possible to use
a shrinker in the future, rather than the current scheme of scanning
the quota data entries from time to time.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

The functions in lm.c were just wrappers which were mostly
only used in one other file. By moving the functions to
the files where they are being used, they can be marked
static and also this will usually result in them being inlined
since they are often only used from one point in the code.A couple of really trivial functions have been inlined by hand
into the function which called them as it makes the code clearer
to do that.We also gain from one fewer function call in the glock lock and
unlock paths.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

The patch was generated using the following script:

# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
#set -e

As per comments from Jan Engelhardt this
updates the copyright message to say "version" in full rather than
"v.2". Also incore.h has been updated to remove forward structure
declarations which are not required.The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added
to it. Also quota.c has been updated so that we now store the
lvb data locally in endian independant format to avoid needing
a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess
conversions are done as required at various points and thus the
conversion routines in lvb.[ch] are no longer required. I've
moved the one remaining constant in lvb.h thats used into lm.h
and removed the unused lvb.[ch].I have not changed the HIF_ constants. That is left to a later patch
which I hope will unify the gh_flags and gh_iflags fields of the
struct gfs2_holder.Cc: Jan Engelhardt

This reduces the size of the directory code by about 3k and gets
readdir() to use the functions which were introduced in the previous
directory code update.Two memory allocations are merged into one. Eliminates zeroing of some
buffers which were never used before they were initialised by
other data.There is still scope for further improvement in the directory code.
On the logging side, a hand created mutex has been replaced by a
standard Linux mutex in the log allocation code.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse
