Remove the dir hash table (dirtbl), and use
the rsb hash table (rsbtbl) as the resource
directory. It has always been an unnecessary
duplication of information.
This improves efficiency by using a single rsbtbl
lookup in many cases where both rsbtbl and dirtbl
lookups were needed previously.
This eliminates the need to handle cases of rsbtbl
and dirtbl being out of sync.
In many cases there will be memory savings because
the dir hash table no longer exists.

The "nodir" mode (statically assign master nodes instead
of using the resource directory) has always been highly
experimental, and never seriously used. This commit
fixes a number of problems, making nodir much more usable.
- Major change to recovery: recover all locks and restart
all in-progress operations after recovery. In some
cases it's not possible to know which in-progess locks
to recover, so recover all. (Most require recovery
in nodir mode anyway since rehashing changes most
master nodes.)
- Change the way nodir mode is enabled, from a command
line mount arg passed through gfs2, into a sysfs
file managed by dlm_controld, consistent with the
other config settings.
- Allow recovering MSTCPY locks on an rsb that has not
yet been turned into a master copy.
- Ignore RCOM_LOCK and RCOM_LOCK_REPLY recovery messages
from a previous, aborted recovery cycle. Base this
on the local recovery status not being in the state
where any nodes should be sending LOCK messages for the
current recovery cycle.
- Hold rsb lock around dlm_purge_mstcpy_locks() because it
may run concurrently with dlm_recover_master_copy().
- Maintain highbast on process-copy lkb's (in addition to
the master as is usual), because the lkb can switch
back and forth between being a master and being a
process copy as the master node changes in recovery.
- When recovering MSTCPY locks, flag rsb's that have
non-empty convert or waiting queues for granting
at the end of recovery. (Rename flag from LOCKS_PURGED
to RECOVER_GRANT and similar for the recovery function,
because it's not only resources with purged locks
that need grant a grant attempt.)
- Replace a couple of unnecessary assertion panics with
error messages.

The function used to find an rsb during directory
recovery was searching the single linear list of
rsb's. This wasted a lot of time compared to
using the standard hash table to find the rsb.

To prevent the master of an rsb from changing rapidly, an unused rsb is kept
on the "toss list" for a period of time to be reused. The toss list was
being cleared completely for each recovery, which is unnecessary. Much of
the benefit of the toss list can be maintained if nodes keep rsb's in their
toss list that they are the master of. These rsb's need to be included
when the resource directory is rebuilt during recovery.

Introduce a per-lockspace rwsem that's held in read mode by dlm_recv
threads while working in the dlm. This allows dlm_recv activity to be
suspended when the lockspace transitions to, from and between recovery
cycles.
The specific bug prompting this change is one where an in-progress
recovery cycle is aborted by a new recovery cycle. While dlm_recv was
processing a recovery message, the recovery cycle was aborted and
dlm_recoverd began cleaning up. dlm_recv decremented recover_locks_count
on an rsb after dlm_recoverd had reset it to zero. This is fixed by
suspending dlm_recv (taking write lock on the rwsem) before aborting the
current recovery.
The transitions to/from normal and recovery modes are simplified by using
this new ability to block dlm_recv. The switch from normal to recovery
mode means dlm_recv goes from processing locking messages, to saving them
for later, and vice versa. Races are avoided by blocking dlm_recv when
setting the flag that switches between modes.

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().
This patch requires updating libdlm which is backward compatible with
older kernels.

New features: lock timeouts and time warnings. If the DLM_LKF_TIMEOUT
flag is set, then the request/conversion will be canceled after waiting
the specified number of centiseconds (specified per lock). This feature
is only available for locks requested through libdlm (can be enabled for
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.

In dlm_grant_after_purge() we were holding a hash table read_lock while
calling put_rsb() which potentially removes the rsb from the hash table,
taking the same lock in write. Fix this by flagging rsb's ahead of time
that have been purged. Then iteratively read_lock the hash table, find a
flagged rsb, unlock, process rsb.

This is the core of the distributed lock manager which is required
to use GFS2 as a cluster filesystem. It is also used by CLVM and
can be used as a standalone lock manager independantly of either
of these two projects.
It implements VAX-style locking modes.
