2b88f7c535 GFS2: Remove unused sysfs file
The /sys/fs/gfs2/<fsname>/lock_module/id file has been unused for
some time now, so we can remove it. We still accept the mount option
though, as userspace still sends that.

31e54b01f3 GFS2: Add sysfs link to device
This adds a link from the per-gfs2 sb sysfs directory to
the block device upon which the filesystem is mounted. The
link is called "device", strangely enough :-)

440d6da207 GFS2: Add some more info to uevents
With each uevent, we now always include the journal ID. We
can't call it JID since that is already in use by some of
the individual events relating to recovery, so we use
JOURNALID instead. We don't send the JOURNALID for spectator
mounts, since there isn't one.

Also the ADD event now has both RDONLY and SPECTATOR information
to match that of the ONLINE event.

d7e623da1a GFS2: Fix permissions on "recover" file
Although this file is only ever written and not read by
userspace, it seems that the utils are opening this
file O_RDWR, so we need to allow that.

Also fixes the whitespace which seemed to be broken.

f6eb53498e GFS2: Remove args subdir from gfs2 sysfs files
Since we can cat /proc/mounts there is no need to have this
subdirectory in the gfs2 sysfs files. In fact this does not
reflect the full range of possible mount argumenmts, where
as /proc/mounts does.

There was only one userland user of this set of sysfs files
and it will function perfectly well without these files
being present (in fact that subcommand of gfs2_tool is
obsolete anyway).

The tune/* subdirectory is also considered mostly obsolete,
but there are a few uses of this until mount arguments can
be added for the last few functions for which there are no
equivalents currently. However the tune/* directory is still
in my sights and new code should avoid using it. Only the gfs2_quota
and gfs2_tool programs are know to use tune/* at the moment.

e1b28aab58 GFS2: Remove lockstruct subdir from gfs2 sysfs files
The lockstruct sub directory contained two entries, both of
which are duplicated elsewhere in the gfs2 sysfs files as
well as being available via /proc/mounts. There is no userland program
using either of them, so this patch removes them.

fe64d517df GFS2: Umount recovery race fix
This patch fixes a race condition where we can receive recovery
requests part way through processing a umount. This was causing
problems since the recovery thread had already gone away.

Looking in more detail at the recovery code, it was really trying
to implement a slight variation on a work queue, and that happens to
align nicely with the recently introduced slow-work subsystem. As a
result I've updated the code to use slow-work, rather than its own home
grown variety of work queue.

When using the wait_on_bit() function, I noticed that the wait function
that was supplied as an argument was appearing in the WCHAN field, so
I've updated the function names in order to produce more meaningful
output.

9582d41135 GFS2: Remove a couple of unused sysfs entries
These two tunables are pointless and would never need to be
changed anyway. There is also a race between them and umount
as the deamons which they refer to might have gone away. The
easiest way to fix the race is to remove the interface.

48c2b61361 GFS2: Add commit= mount option
It has always been possible to adjust the gfs2 log commit
interval, but only from the sysfs interface. This adds a
mount option, commit=<nn>, which will be familar to ext3
users.

The sysfs interface continues to be available as well, although
this might be removed in the future.

Also this patch cleans up some duplicated structures in the GFS2
sysfs code.

64d576ba23 GFS2: Add a "demote a glock" interface to sysfs
This adds a sysfs file called demote_rq to GFS2's
per filesystem directory. Its possible to use this
file to demote arbitrary glocks in exactly the same
way as if a request had come in from a remote node.

This is intended for testing issues relating to caching
of data under glocks. Despite that, the interface is
generic enough to send requests to any type of glock,
but be careful as its not always safe to send an
arbitrary message to an arbitrary glock. For that reason
and to prevent DoS, this interface is restricted to root
only.

The messages look like this:

<type>:<glocknumber> <mode>

Example:

echo -n "2:13324 EX" >/sys/fs/gfs2/unity:myfs/demote_rq

Which means "please demote inode glock (type 2) number 13324 so that
I can get an EX (exclusive) lock". The lock modes are those which
would normally be sent by a remote node in its callback so if you
want to unlock a glock, you use EX, to demote to shared, use SH or PR
(depending on whether you like GFS2 or DLM lock modes better!).

If the glock doesn't exist, you'll get -ENOENT returned. If the
arguments don't make sense, you'll get -EINVAL returned.

The plan is that this interface will be used in combination with
the blktrace patch which I recently posted for comments although
it is, of course, still useful in its own right.

02e3cc70ec GFS2: Expose UUID via sysfs/uevent
Since we have a UUID, we ought to expose it to the user via sysfs
and uevents. We already have the fs name in both of these places
(a combination of the lock proto and lock table name) so if we add
the UUID as well, we have a full set.

For older filesystems (i.e. those created before mkfs.gfs2 was writing
UUIDs by default) the sysfs file will appear zero length, and no UUID
env var will be added to the uevents.

f057f6cdf6 GFS2: Merge lock_dlm module into GFS2
This is the big patch that I've been working on for some time
now. There are many reasons for wanting to make this change
such as:
 o Reducing overhead by eliminating duplicated fields between structures
 o Simplifcation of the code (reduces the code size by a fair bit)
 o The locking interface is now the DLM interface itself as proposed
   some time ago.
 o Fewer lookups of glocks when processing replies from the DLM
 o Fewer memory allocations/deallocations for each glock
 o Scope to do further optimisations in the future (but this patch is
   more than big enough for now!)

Please note that (a) this patch relates to the lock_dlm module and
not the DLM itself, that is still a separate module; and (b) that
we retain the ability to build GFS2 as a standalone single node
filesystem with out requiring the DLM.

This patch needs a lot of testing, hence my keeping it I restarted
my -git tree after the last merge window. That way, this has the maximum
exposure before its merged. This is (modulo a few minor bug fixes) the
same patch that I've been posting on and off the the last three months
and its passed a number of different tests so far.

97cc1025b1 GFS2: Kill two daemons with one patch
This patch removes the two daemons, gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd
and replaces them with a shrinker which is called from the VM.

The net result is that GFS2 responds better when there is memory
pressure, since it shrinks the glock cache at the same rate
as the VFS shrinks the dcache and icache. There are no longer
any time based criteria for shrinking glocks, they are kept
until such time as the VM asks for more memory and then we
demote just as many glocks as required.

There are potential future changes to this code, including the
possibility of sorting the glocks which are to be written back
into inode number order, to get a better I/O ordering. It would
be very useful to have an elevator based workqueue implementation
for this, as that would automatically deal with the read I/O cases
at the same time.

This patch is my answer to Andrew Morton's remark, made during
the initial review of GFS2, asking why GFS2 needs so many kernel
threads, the answer being that it doesn't :-) This patch is a
net loss of about 200 lines of code.

37b2c8377c GFS2: Clean up & move gfs2_quotad
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.

719ee34467 GFS2: high time to take some time over atime
Until now, we've used the same scheme as GFS1 for atime. This has failed
since atime is a per vfsmnt flag, not a per fs flag and as such the
"noatime" flag was not getting passed down to the filesystems. This
patch removes all the "special casing" around atime updates and we
simply use the VFS's atime code.

The net result is that GFS2 will now support all the same atime related
mount options of any other filesystem on a per-vfsmnt basis. We do lose
the "lazy atime" updates, but we gain "relatime". We could add lazy
atime to the VFS at a later date, if there is a requirement for that
variant still - I suspect relatime will be enough.

Also we lose about 100 lines of code after this patch has been applied,
and I have a suspicion that it will speed things up a bit, even when
atime is "on". So it seems like a nice clean up as well.

From a user perspective, everything stays the same except the loss of
the per-fs atime quantum tweekable (ought to be per-vfsmnt at the very
least, and to be honest I don't think anybody ever used it) and that a
number of options which were ignored before now work correctly.

Please let me know if you've got any comments. I'm pushing this out
early so that you can all see what my plans are.

1bdad60633 [GFS2] Remove remote lock dropping code
There are several reasons why this is undesirable:

 1. It never happens during normal operation anyway
 2. If it does happen it causes performance to be very, very poor
 3. It isn't likely to solve the original problem (memory shortage
    on remote DLM node) it was supposed to solve
 4. It uses a bunch of arbitrary constants which are unlikely to be
    correct for any particular situation and for which the tuning seems
    to be a black art.
 5. In an N node cluster, only 1/N of the dropped locked will actually
    contribute to solving the problem on average.

So all in all we are better off without it. This also makes merging
the lock_dlm module into GFS2 a bit easier.

da755fdb41 [GFS2] Remove lm.[ch] and distribute content
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.

one is when we mount the fs and the other is when we need
