The following alters gfs2_trans_add_revoke() to take a struct
gfs2_bufdata as an argument. This eliminates the memory allocation which
was previously required by making use of the already existing struct
gfs2_bufdata. It makes some sanity checks to ensure that the
gfs2_bufdata has been removed from all the lists before its recycled as
a revoke structure. This saves one memory allocation and one free per
revoke structure.
Also as a result, and to simplify the locking, since there is no longer
any blocking code in gfs2_trans_add_revoke() we must hold the log lock
whenever this function is called. This reduces the amount of times we
take and unlock the log lock.

The old revoke structure was allocated using kalloc/kfree but
there is a slab cache for gfs2_bufdata, so we should use that
now that the structures have been converted.
This is part two of the patch series to merge the revoke
and gfs2_bufdata structures.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
Both the revoke structure and the bufdata structure are quite similar.
They are basically small tags which are put on lists. In addition to
which the revoke structure is always allocated when there is a bufdata
structure which is (or can be) freed. As such it should be possible to
reduce the number of frees and allocations by using the same structure
for both purposes.
This patch is the first step along that path. It replaces existing uses
of the revoke structure with the bufdata structure.

The following patch removes the ordered write processing from
databuf_lo_before_commit() and moves it to log.c. This has the effect of
greatly simplyfying databuf_lo_before_commit() and well as potentially
making the ordered write code more efficient.
As a side effect of this, its now possible to remove ordered buffers
from the ordered buffer list at any time, so we now make use of this in
invalidatepage and releasepage to ensure timely release of these
buffers.

gfs2_pin and gfs2_unpin are only used in lops.c, despite being
defined in meta_io.c, so this patch moves them into lops.c and
makes them static. At the same time, its possible to clean up
the locking in the buf and databuf _lo_add() functions so that
we only need to grab the spinlock once. Also we have to move
lock_buffer() around the _lo_add() functions since we can't
do that in gfs2_pin() any more since we hold the spinlock
for the duration of that function.
As a result, the code shrinks by 12 lines and we do far fewer
operations when adding buffers to the log. It also makes the
code somewhat easier to read & understand.

When a lot of IO, with some distributed mmap IO, is run on a GFS2 filesystem in
a cluster, it will deadlock. The reason is that do_no_page() will repeatedly
call gfs2_sharewrite_nopage(), because each node keeps giving up the glock
too early, and is forced to call unmap_mapping_range(). This bumps the
mapping->truncate_count sequence count, forcing do_no_page() to retry. This
patch institutes a minimum glock hold time a tenth a second. This insures
that even in heavy contention cases, the node has enough time to get some
useful work done before it gives up the glock.
A second issue is that when gfs2_glock_dq() is called from within a page fault
to demote a lock, and the associated page needs to be written out, it will
try to acqire a lock on it, but it has already been locked at a higher level.
This patch puts makes gfs2_glock_dq() use the work queue as well, to avoid this
issue. This is the same patch as Steve Whitehouse originally proposed to fix
this issue, execpt that gfs2_glock_dq() now grabs a reference to the glock
before it queues up the work on it.

This is for bugzilla bug #248176: GFS2: invalid metadata block
Patches 1 thru 3 were accepted upstream, but there were problems
with 4 and 5. Those issues have been resolved and now the recovery
tests are passing without errors. This code has gone through
41 * 3 successful gfs2 recovery tests before it hit an
unrelated (openais) problem. I'm continuing to test it.
This is a complete rewrite of patch 5 for bug #248176, written by
Steve Whitehouse. This is referred to in the bugzilla record as
"new 6" and "a different solution".
The problem was that the journal inodes, although protected by
a glock, were not synched with the other nodes because they don't
use the inode glock synch operations (i.e. no "glops" were defined).
Therefore, journal recovery on a journal-recovering node were causing
the blocks to get out of sync with the node that was actually trying
to use that journal as it comes back up from a reboot.
There are two possible solutions: (1) To make the journals use the
normal inode glock sync operations, or (2) To make the journal
operations take effect immediately (i.e. no caching). Although
option 1 works, it turns out to be a lot more code. Steve opted
for option 2, which is much simpler and therefore less prone to
regression errors.

This is part 2 of the patch for bug #245832, part 1 of which is already
in the git tree.
The problem was that sdp->sd_log_num_databuf was not always being
protected by the gfs2_log_lock spinlock, but the sd_log_le_databuf
(which it is supposed to reflect) was protected. That meant there
was a timing window during which gfs2_log_flush called
databuf_lo_before_commit and the count didn't match what was
really on the linked list in that window. So when it ran out of
items on the linked list, it decremented total_dbuf from 0 to -1 and
thus never left the "while(total_dbuf)" loop.
The solution is to protect the variable sdp->sd_log_num_databuf so
that the value will always match the contents of the linked list,
and therefore the number will never go negative, and therefore, the
loop will be exited properly.

Change ->fault prototype. We now return an int, which contains
VM_FAULT_xxx code in the low byte, and FAULT_RET_xxx code in the next byte.
FAULT_RET_ code tells the VM whether a page was found, whether it has been
locked, and potentially other things. This is not quite the way he wanted
it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to
arch code).
This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say
that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we
can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were
going to do that anyway.
struct fault_data is renamed to struct vm_fault as Linus asked. address

Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes
the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings.
->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code
should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping. The hitch here
is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie. pgoff).
But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function
calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation).
Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing
to be doing.
This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and
->populate and (later) ->nopfn. Most of the old mechanism is still in place
so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if
everyone switches over.
The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are
subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid
to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two.
After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in
pagecache. Seems like a fringe functionality anyway.
NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed. This should be implemented with ->fault, and no
users have hit mainline yet.
