I have observed that the current size of 8M gives us pretty poor
fragmentation on multi-threaded workloads which do lots of writes.
Generally, I can increase the size of local alloc windows and observe a
marked decrease in fragmentation, even up and beyond window sizes of 512
megabytes. This makes sense for a couple reasons - larger local alloc means
more room for reservation windows. On multi-node workloads the larger local
alloc helps as well because we don't have to do window slides as often.
Also, I removed the OCFS2_DEFAULT_LOCAL_ALLOC_SIZE constant as it is no
longer used and the comment above it was out of date.
To test fragmentation, I used a workload which launched 4 threads that did
4k writes into a series of about 140 alternating files.
With resv_level=2, and a 4k/4k file system I observed the following average
fragmentation for various localalloc= parameters:
localalloc= avg. fragmentation
8 48
32 16
64 10
120 7
On larger cluster sizes, the difference is more dramatic.
The new default size top out at 256M, which we'll only get for cluster
sizes of 32K and above.

This patch pulls the local alloc sizing code into localalloc.c and provides
a callout to it from ocfs2_fill_super(). Behavior is essentially unchanged
except that I correctly calculate the maximum local alloc size. The old code
in ocfs2_parse_options() calculated the max size as:
ocfs2_local_alloc_size(sb) * 8
which is correct, in bits. Unfortunately though the option passed in is in
megabytes. Ultimately, this bug made no real difference - the shrink code
would catch a too-large size and bring it down to something reasonable.
Still, it's less than efficient as-is.

Use the reservations system for unindexed dir tree allocations. We don't
bother with the indexed tree as reads from it are mostly random anyway.
Directory reservations are marked seperately, to allow the reservations code
a chance to optimize their window sizes. This patch allocates only 8 bits
for directory windows as they generally are not expected to grow as quickly
as file data. Future improvements to dir window sizing can trivially be
made.

This patch improves Ocfs2 allocation policy by allowing an inode to
reserve a portion of the local alloc bitmap for itself. The reserved
portion (allocation window) is advisory in that other allocation
windows might steal it if the local alloc bitmap becomes
full. Otherwise, the reservations are honored and guaranteed to be
free. When the local alloc window is moved to a different portion of
the bitmap, existing reservations are discarded.
Reservation windows are represented internally by a red-black
tree. Within that tree, each node represents the reservation window of
one inode. An LRU of active reservations is also maintained. When new
data is written, we allocate it from the inodes window. When all bits
in a window are exhausted, we allocate a new one as close to the
previous one as possible. Should we not find free space, an existing
reservation is pulled off the LRU and cannibalized.

jbd[2]_journal_dirty_metadata() only returns 0. It's been returning 0
since before the kernel moved to git. There is no point in checking
this error.
ocfs2_journal_dirty() has been faithfully returning the status since the
beginning. All over ocfs2, we have blocks of code checking this can't
fail status. In the past few years, we've tried to avoid adding these
checks, because they are pointless. But anyone who looks at our code
assumes they are needed.
Finally, ocfs2_journal_dirty() is made a void function. All error
checking is removed from other files. We'll BUG_ON() the status of
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() just in case they change it someday. They
won't.

When the local alloc file changes windows, unused bits are freed back to the
global bitmap. By defnition, those bits can not be in use by any file. Also,
the local alloc will never have been able to allocate those bits if they
were part of a previous truncate. Therefore it makes sense that we should
clear unused local alloc bits in the undo buffer so that they can be used
immediatly.

When replacing a xattr's value, in some case we wipe its name/value
first and then re-add it. The wipe is done by
ocfs2_xa_block_wipe_namevalue() when the xattr is in the inode or
block. We currently adjust name_offset for all the entries which have
(offset < name_offset). This does not adjust the entrie we're replacing.
Since we are replacing the entry, we don't adjust the total entry count.
When we calculate a new namevalue location, we trust the entries
now-wrong offset in ocfs2_xa_get_free_start(). The solution is to
also adjust the name_offset for the replaced entry, allowing
ocfs2_xa_get_free_start() to calculate the new namevalue location
correctly.
The following script can trigger a kernel panic easily.
echo 'y'|mkfs.ocfs2 --fs-features=local,xattr -b 4K $DEVICE

What we were doing before was to ask for the current window size as the
maximum allocation. This had the effect of limiting the amount of allocation
we could get for the local alloc during times when the window size was
shrunk due to fragmentation. In some cases, that could actually *increase*
fragmentation by artificially limiting the number of bits we can accept. So
while we still want to ask for a minimum number of bits equal to window
size, there is no reason why we should limit the number of bits the local
alloc should accept. Hence always allow the maximum number of local alloc
bits.

Inotify was switched to use anon_inode instead of its own private filesystem
which only had one inode in commit c44dcc56d2 "switch inotify_user to
anon_inode"
The problem with this is that now the inotify inode is not a distinct inode
which can be managed by LSMs. userspace tools which use inotify were allowed
to use the inotify inode but may not have had permission to do read/write type
operations on the anon_inode. After looking at the anon_inode and its users
it looks like the best solution is to just mark the anon_inode as S_PRIVATE
so the security system will ignore it.

When using slub, having a kmem_cache constructor forces slub to add a free
pointer to the size of the cached object, which can have a significant
impact to the number of small objects that can fit into a slab.
As buffer_head is relatively small and we can have large numbers of them,
removing the constructor is a definite win.
On x86_64 removing the constructor gives me 39 objects/slab, 3 more than
without the patch. And on x86_32 73 objects/slab, which is 9 more.
As alloc_buffer_head() already initializes each new object there is very
little difference in actual code run.

GFS2 tracks the number of revokes and unrevokes that are part of committed
transactions via sd_log_commited_revoke. It is possible for one process to add
revokes during its transaction, while another process unrevokes them during its
transaction. If the second process finishes its transaction first,
sd_log_commited_revoke will be decremented by the number of unrevokes that the
second process did, without first being incremented by the number of revokes
the first process did. This is fine, since all started transactions must be
completed before the journal can be flushed. However, sd_log_commited_revoke
is an unsigned integer, and log_refund() causes an assertion failure if it
would go negative at the end of a transaction. This patch makes
sd_log_commited_revoke a signed integer and allows it to go negative.
__gfs2_log_flush() still checks that it mataches the actual number of revokes.
