We must not leave items on the LRU list with GLF_LOCK set, since
they can be removed if the glock is brought back into use, which
may then potentially result in a hang, waiting for GLF_LOCK to
clear.
It doesn't happen very often, since it requires a glock that has
not been used for a long time to be brought back into use at the
same moment that the shrinker is part way through disposing of
glocks.
The fix is to set GLF_LOCK at a later time, when we already know
that the other locks can be obtained. Also, we now only release
the lru_lock in case a resched is needed, rather than on every
iteration.

Function gfs2_glock_dq_wait is supposed to dequeue a glock and then
wait for the lock to be demoted. The problem is, if this is a shared
lock, its demote will depend on the other holders, which means you
might end up waiting forever because the other process is blocked.
This problem is especially apparent when dealing with nested flocks.

This patch closes a small timing window whereby a request to hold the
transaction glock can get stuck. The problem is that after the DLM has
granted the lock, it can get into a state whereby it doesn't transition
the glock to a held state, due to not having requeued the glock state
machine to finish the transition.

Commit [e66cf1610: GFS2: Use lockref for glocks] replaced call:
atomic_read(&gi->gl->gl_ref) == 0
with:
__lockref_is_dead(&gl->gl_lockref)
therefore changing how gl is accessed, from gi->gl to plan gl.
However, gl can be a NULL pointer, and so gi->gl needs to be
used instead (which is guaranteed not to be NULL because fo
the while loop checking that condition).

Currently glocks have an atomic reference count and also a spinlock
which covers various internal fields, such as the state. This intent of
this patch is to replace the spinlock and the atomic reference count
with a lockref structure. This contains a spinlock which we can continue
to use as before, and a reference counter which is used in conjuction
with the spinlock to replace the previous atomic counter.
As a result of this there are some new rules for reference counting on
glocks. We need to distinguish between reference count changes under
gl_spin (which are now just increment or decrement of the new counter,
provided the count cannot hit zero) and those which are outside of
gl_spin, but which now take gl_spin internally.
The conversion is relatively straight forward. There is probably some
further clean up which can be done, but the priority at this stage is to
make the change in as simple a manner as possible.
A consequence of this change is that the reference count is being
decoupled from the lru list processing. This should allow future
adoption of the lru_list code with glocks in due course.
The reason for using the "dead" state and not just relying on 0 being
the "invalid state" is so that in due course 0 ref counts can be
allowable. The intent is to eventually be able to remove the ref count
changes which are currently hidden away in state_change().

Convert the filesystem shrinkers to use the new API, and standardise some
of the behaviours of the shrinkers at the same time. For example,
nr_to_scan means the number of objects to scan, not the number of objects
to free.
I refactored the CIFS idmap shrinker a little - it really needs to be
broken up into a shrinker per tree and keep an item count with the tree
root so that we don't need to walk the tree every time the shrinker needs
to count the number of objects in the tree (i.e. all the time under
memory pressure).

We need to check the glock ref counter in a race free way
in order to ensure that the gfs2_glock_hold() call will
succeed. The easiest way to do that is to simply take the
reference count early in the common code of examine_bucket,
skipping any glocks with zero ref count.
That means that the examiner functions all need to put their
reference on the glock once they've performed their function.

There was a timing window when a GFS2 file system was unmounted
that caused GFS2 to call BUG() and panic the kernel. The call
to BUG() is meant to ensure that the glock reference count,
gl_ref, never gets down to zero and bounce back up again. What was
happening during umount is that function gfs2_put_super was dequeing
its glocks for well-known files. In particular, we saw it on the
journal glock, sd_jinode_gh. The dequeue caused delayed work to be
queued for the glock state machine, to transition the lock to an
"unlocked" state. While the work was still queued, gfs2_put_super
called gfs2_gl_hash_clear to clear out the glock hash tables.
If the timing was just so, the glock work function would drop the
reference count at the time when it was being checked for zero,
and that caused BUG() to be called. This patch calls
flush_workqueue before clearing the glock hash tables, thereby
ensuring that the delayed work is executed before the hash tables
are cleared, and therefore the reference count never goes to zero
until the glock is cleared.

This adds the origin indicator to the trace point for glock
demotion, so that it is possible to see where demote requests
have come from.
Note that requests generated from the demote_rq sysfs interface
will show as remote, since they are intended to replicate
exactly the effect of a demote reuqest from a remote node. It
is still possible to tell these apart by looking at the process
which initiated the demote request.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
This patch adds a bool indicating whether the demote
request was originated locally or remotely. This is then
used by the iopen ->go_callback() to make 100% sure that
it will only respond to remote callbacks.
Since ->evict_inode() uses GL_NOCACHE when it attempts to
get an exclusive lock on the iopen lock, this may result
in extra scheduling of the workqueue in case that the
exclusive promotion request failed. This patch prevents
that from happening.

The original method for creating inodes used in GFS2 was to fill
out a buffer, with all the information, and then to read that
buffer into the in-core inode, using gfs2_refresh_inode()
The problem with this approach is that all the inode's fields
need to be calculated ahead of time, and were stored in various
variables making the code rather complicated.
The new approach is simply to allocate the in-core inode earlier
and fill in as many fields as possible ahead of time. These can
then be used to initilise the on disk representation. The
code has been working towards the point where it is possible
to remove gfs2_refresh_inode() because all the fields are
correctly initialised ahead of time. We've now reached that
milestone, and have reversed the order of setting up the in
core and on disk inodes.

The intent here is to split the processing of the glock lru
list into two parts, so that the selection of glocks and the
disposal are separate functions. The plan is then, that further
updates can then be made to these functions in the future
to improve the selection of glocks and also the efficiency of
glock disposal.
The new feature which this patch brings is sorting the
glocks to be disposed of into glock number (and thus also
disk block number) order. Not all glocks will need i/o in
order to dispose of them, but some will, and at least we'll
generate mostly disk block order i/o now.
