This patch is for bugzilla bug 283162, which uncovered a number of
bugs pertaining to writing to files that have the journaled bit on.
These bugs happen most often when writing to the meta_fs because
the files are always journaled. So operations like gfs2_grow were
particularly vulnerable, although many of the problems could be
recreated with normal files after setting the journaled bit on.
The problems fixed are:
-GFS2 wasn't ever writing unstuffed journaled data blocks to their
in-place location on disk. Now it does.
-If you unmounted too quickly after doing IO to a journaled file,
GFS2 was crashing because you would discard a buffer whose bufdata
was still on the active items list. GFS2 now deals with this
gracefully.
-GFS2 was losing track of the bufdata for journaled data blocks,
and it wasn't getting freed, causing an error when you tried to
unmount the module. GFS2 now frees all the bufdata structures.
-There was a memory corruption occurring because GFS2 wrote
twice as many log entries for journaled buffers.
-It was occasionally trying to write journal headers in buffers
that weren't currently mapped.

There were two issues during deallocation of unlinked inodes. The
first was relating to the use of a "try" lock which in the case of
the inode lock wasn't trying hard enough to deallocate in all
circumstances (now changed to a normal glock) and in the case of
the iopen lock didn't wait for the demotion of the shared lock before
attempting to get the exclusive lock, and thereby sometimes (timing dependent)
not completing the deallocation when it should have done.
The second issue related to the lack of a way to invalidate dcache entries
on remote nodes (now fixed by this patch) which meant that unlinks were
taking a long time to return disk space to the fs. By adding some code to
invalidate the dcache entries across the cluster for unlinked inodes, that
is now fixed.

Under certain circumstances its possible (though rather unlikely) that
inodes which were unlinked by one node while still open on another might
get "lost" in the sense that they don't get deallocated if the node
which held the inode open crashed before it was unlinked.
This patch adds the recovery code which allows automatic deallocation of
the inode if its found during block allocation (the sensible time to
look for such inodes since we are scanning the rgrp's bitmaps anyway at
this time, so it adds no overhead to do this).
Since the inode will have had its i_nlink set to zero, all we need to
trigger recovery is a lookup and an iput(), and the normal deallocation
code takes care of the rest.

This patch fixes bug 243131: Can't mount GFS2 file system on AoE device.
When using AoE devices with lock_nolock, there is no locking table, so
gfs2 (and gfs1) uses the superblock s_id. This turns out to be the device
name in some cases. In the case of AoE, the device contains a slash,
(e.g. "etherd/e1.1p2") which is an invalid character when we try to
register the table in sysfs. This patch replaces the "/" with underscore.
Rather than add a new variable to the stack, I'm just reusing a (char *)
variable that's no longer used: table.
This code has been tested on the failing system using a RHEL5 patch.
The upstream code was tested by using gfs2_tool sb to interject a "/"
into the table name of a clustered gfs2 file system.

This adds a nanosecond timestamp feature to the GFS2 filesystem. Due
to the way that the on-disk format works, older filesystems will just
appear to have this field set to zero. When mounted by an older version
of GFS2, the filesystem will simply ignore the extra fields so that
it will again appear to have whole second resolution, so that its

This patch fixes some sign issues which were accidentally introduced
into the quota & statfs code during the endianess annotation process.
Also included is a general clean up which moves all of the _host
structures out of gfs2_ondisk.h (where they should not have been to
start with) and into the places where they are actually used (often only
one place). Also those _host structures which are not required any more
are removed entirely (which is the eventual plan for all of them).
The conversion routines from ondisk.c are also moved into the places
where they are actually used, which for almost every one, was just one
single place, so all those are now static functions. This also cleans up
the end of gfs2_ondisk.h which no longer needs the #ifdef __KERNEL__.
The net result is a reduction of about 100 lines of code, many functions
now marked static plus the bug fixes as mentioned above. For good
measure I ran the code through sparse after making these changes to
check that there are no warnings generated.

This is a patch for the first three issues of RHBZ #238162
The first issue is that when you allocate a new page for a file, it will not
start off uptodate. This makes sense, since you haven't written anything to that
part of the file yet. Unfortunately, gfs2_pin() checks to make sure that the
buffers are uptodate. The solution to this is to mark the buffers uptodate in
gfs2_commit_write(), after they have been zeroed out and have the data written
into them. I'm pretty confident with this fix, although it's not completely
obvious that there is no problem with marking the buffers uptodate here.
The second issue is simply that you can try to pin a data buffer that is already
on the incore log, and thus, already pinned. This patch checks to see if this
buffer is already on the log, and exits databuf_lo_add() if it is, just like
buf_lo_add() does.
The third issue is that gfs2_log_flush() doesn't do it's block accounting
correctly. Both metadata and journaled data are logged, but gfs2_log_flush()
only compares the number of metadata blocks with the number of blocks to commit
to the ondisk journal. This patch also counts the journaled data blocks.

This patch cleans up the inode number handling code. The main difference
is that instead of looking up the inodes using a struct gfs2_inum_host
we now use just the no_addr member of this structure. The tests relating
to no_formal_ino can then be done by the calling code. This has
advantages in that we want to do different things in different code
paths if the no_formal_ino doesn't match. In the NFS patch we want to
return -ESTALE, but in the ->lookup() path, its a bug in the fs if the
no_formal_ino doesn't match and thus we can withdraw in this case.
In order to later fix bz #201012, we need to be able to look up an inode
without knowing no_formal_ino, as the only information that is known to
us is the on-disk location of the inode in question.
This patch will also help us to fix bz #236099 at a later date by
cleaning up a lot of the code in that area.

This is another revision of my gfs2 kernel patch that allows
gfs2_grow to function properly.
Steve Whitehouse expressed some concerns about the previous
patch and I restructured it based on his comments.
The previous patch was doing the statfs_change at file close time,
under its own transaction. The current patch does the statfs_change
inside the gfs2_commit_write function, which keeps it under the
umbrella of the inode transaction.
I can't call ri_update to re-read the rindex file during the
transaction because the transaction may have outstanding unwritten
buffers attached to the rgrps that would be otherwise blown away.
So instead, I created a new function, gfs2_ri_total, that will
re-read the rindex file just to total the file system space
for the sake of the statfs_change. The ri_update will happen
later, when gfs2 realizes the version number has changed, as it
happened before my patch.
Since the statfs_change is happening at write_commit time and there
may be multiple writes to the rindex file for one grow operation.
So one consequence of this restructuring is that instead of getting
one kernel message to indicate the change, you may see several.
For example, before when you did a gfs2_grow, you'd get a single
message like:
GFS2: File system extended by 247876 blocks (968MB)
Now you get something like:
GFS2: File system extended by 207896 blocks (812MB)
GFS2: File system extended by 39980 blocks (156MB)
This version has also been successfully run against the hours-long
"gfs2_fsck_hellfire" test that does several gfs2_grow and gfs2_fsck
while interjecting file system damage. It does this repeatedly
under a variety Resource Group conditions.

Fix for bz #231910
When filemap_fdatawrite() is called on the inode mapping in data=ordered mode,
it will add the glock to the log. In inode_go_sync(), if you do the
gfs2_log_flush() before this, after the filemap_fdatawrite() call, the glock
and its associated data buffers will be on the log again. This means you can
demote a lock from exclusive, without having it flushed from the log. The
attached patch simply moves the gfs2_log_flush up to after the
filemap_fdatawrite() call.
Originally, I tried moving the gfs2_log_flush to after gfs2_meta_sync(), but
that caused me to trip the following assert.
GFS2: fsid=cypher-36:test.0: fatal: assertion "!buffer_busy(bh)" failed
GFS2: fsid=cypher-36:test.0: function = gfs2_ail_empty_gl, file = fs/gfs2/glops.c, line = 61
It appears that gfs2_log_flush() puts some of the glocks buffers in the busy
state and the filemap_fdatawrite() call is necessary to flush them. This makes
me worry slightly that a related problem could happen because of moving the
gfs2_log_flush() after the initial filemap_fdatawrite(), but I assume that
gfs2_ail_empty_gl() would catch that case as well.

elf_core_dump() supports dumping arch specific ELF notes, via the #define
ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES. Currently the only user of this is the powerpc
spu coredump code.
There is a bug in the handling of foffset WRT the arch notes, which causes
us to erroneously increment foffset by the size of the arch notes, leaving
a block of zeroes in the file, and causing all subsequent data in the file
to be at <supposed position> + <arch note size>. eg:
LOAD 0x050000 0x00100000 0x00000000 0x20000 0x20000 R E 0x10000
Tells us we should have a chunk of data at 0x50000. The truth is the data
is at 0x90dbc = 0x50000 + 0x40dbc (the size of the arch notes).
This bug prevents gdb from reading the core file correctly.
The simplest fix is to simply remember the size of the arch notes, and add
it to foffset after we've written the arch notes. The only drawback is
that if the arch code doesn't write as many bytes as it said it would, we
end up with a broken core dump again. For now I think that's a reasonable
requirement.
Tested on a Cell blade, gdb no longer complains about the core file being
bogus.
While I'm here I should point out that the spu coredump code does not work
if we're dumping to a pipe - we'll have to wait for 23 to fix that.

Badari Pulavarty reported a case of this BUG_ON is triggering during
testing. It's completely bogus and should be removed.
It's trying to notice if we left references to the dio hanging around in
the sync case. They should have been dropped as IO completed while this
path was in dio_await_completion(). This condition will also be
checked, via some twisty logic, by the BUG_ON(ret != -EIOCBQUEUED) a few
lines lower. So to start this BUG_ON() is redundant.
More fatally, it's dereferencing dio-> after having dropped its
reference. It's only safe to dereference the dio after releasing the
lock if the final reference was just dropped. Another CPU might free
the dio in bio completion and reuse the memory after this path drops the
dio lock but before the BUG_ON() is evaluated.

Not all the world is an i386. Many architectures need 64-bit arguments to be
aligned in suitable pairs of registers, and the original
sys_sync_file_range(int, loff_t, loff_t, int) was therefore wasting an
argument register for padding after the first integer. Since we don't
normally have more than 6 arguments for system calls, that left no room for
the final argument on some architectures.
Fix this by introducing sys_sync_file_range2(int, int, loff_t, loff_t) which
all fits nicely. In fact, ARM already had that, but called it
sys_arm_sync_file_range. Move it to fs/sync.c and rename it, then implement
the needed compatibility routine. And stop the missing syscall check from
bitching about the absence of sys_sync_file_range() if we've implemented
sys_sync_file_range2() instead.
Tested on PPC32 and with 32-bit and 64-bit userspace on PPC64.

The new code in kernel/signal.c does not allow fetching private signals
from another task. This patch avoid spurious POLLIN returns from a
signalfd poll(2) operation.

When one llseek's past the end of the file and then writes, every page past
the previous end of the file should be cleared. Trevor found that the code,
as is, does not assure that the very last page is always cleared. This patch
takes care of that.

Recent changes in eCryptfs have made it possible to get to ecryptfs_setattr()
with an uninitialized crypt_stat struct. This results in a wide and colorful
variety of unpleasantries. This patch properly initializes the crypt_stat
structure in ecryptfs_setattr() when it is necessary to do so.
