When a dentry is unlinked, the unlinking node takes an EX on the dentry lock
before moving the dentry to the orphan directory. Other nodes that have
this dentry in cache have a PR on the same dentry lock. When the EX is
requested, the other nodes flag the corresponding inode as MAYBE_ORPHANED
during downconvert. The inode is finally deleted when the last node to iput
the inode sees that i_nlink==0 and the MAYBE_ORPHANED flag is set.
A problem arises if a node is forced to free dentry locks because of memory
pressure. If this happens, the node will no longer get downconvert
notifications for the dentries that have been unlinked on another node.
If it also happens that node is actively using the corresponding inode and
happens to be the one performing the last iput on that inode, it will fail
to delete the inode as it will not have the MAYBE_ORPHANED flag set.
This patch fixes this shortcoming by introducing a periodic scan of the
orphan directories to delete such inodes. Care has been taken to distribute
the workload across the cluster so that no one node has to perform the task
all the time.

For nfs exporting, ocfs2_get_dentry() returns the dentry for fh.
ocfs2_get_dentry() may read from disk when the inode is not in memory,
without any cross cluster lock. this leads to the file system loading a
stale inode.
This patch fixes above problem.
Solution is that in case of inode is not in memory, we get the cluster
lock(PR) of alloc inode where the inode in question is allocated from (this
causes node on which deletion is done sync the alloc inode) before reading
out the inode itsself. then we check the bitmap in the group (the inode in
question allcated from) to see if the bit is clear. if it's clear then it's
stale. if the bit is set, we then check generation as the existing code
does.
We have to read out the inode in question from disk first to know its alloc
slot and allot bit. And if its not stale we read it out using ocfs2_iget().
The second read should then be from cache.
And also we have to add a per superblock nfs_sync_lock to cover the lock for
alloc inode and that for inode in question. this is because ocfs2_get_dentry()
and ocfs2_delete_inode() lock on them in reverse order. nfs_sync_lock is locked
in EX mode in ocfs2_get_dentry() and in PR mode in ocfs2_delete_inode(). so
that mutliple ocfs2_delete_inode() can run concurrently in normal case.

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.

The masklog code is in the o2cb stack, but ocfs2_lockid.h now needs to
be included by the user stack. The BUG() in ocfs2_lock_type_string()
does not need masklog support, so change it to a regular BUG_ON().

This adds a new dlmglue lock type which is intended to back flock()
requests.
Since these locks are driven from userspace, usage rules are much more
liberal than the typical Ocfs2 internal cluster lock. As a result, we can't
make use of most dlmglue features - lock caching and lock level
optimizations in particular. Additionally, userspace is free to deadlock
itself, so we have to deal with that in the same way as the rest of the
kernel - by allowing a signal to abort a lock request.
In order to keep ocfs2_cluster_lock() complexity down, ocfs2_file_lock()
does it's own dlm coordination. We still use the same helper functions
though, so duplicated code is kept to a minimum.

Ocfs2 currently does cluster-wide node messaging to check the open state of
an inode during delete. This patch removes that mechanism in favor of an
inode cluster lock which is taken at shared read when an inode is first read
and dropped in clear_inode(). This allows a deleting node to test the
liveness of an inode by attempting to take an exclusive lock.

Replace the dentry vote mechanism with a cluster lock which covers a set
of dentries. This allows us to force d_delete() only on nodes which actually
care about an unlink.
Every node that does a ->lookup() gets a read only lock on the dentry, until
an unlink during which the unlinking node, will request an exclusive lock,
forcing the other nodes who care about that dentry to d_delete() it. The
effect is that we retain a very lightweight ->d_revalidate(), and at the
same time get to make large improvements to the average case performance of
the ocfs2 unlink and rename operations.
This patch adds the cluster lock type which OCFS2 can attach to
dentries. A small number of fs/ocfs2/dcache.c functions are stubbed
out so that this change can compile.
