In ocfs2_recovery_exit, it flushes workqueue and then releases system
inodes. When doing ocfs2rec, it will call ocfs2_flush_truncate_log
which will try to get sys_root_inode, and NULL pointer dereference
occurs.

This is an effort of removing ocfs2_controld.pcmk and getting ocfs2 DLM
handling up to the times with respect to DLM (>=4.0.1) and corosync
(2.3.x). AFAIK, cman also is being phased out for a unified corosync
cluster stack.
fs/dlm performs all the functions with respect to fencing and node
management and provides the API's to do so for ocfs2. For all future
references, DLM stands for fs/dlm code.
The advantages are:
+ No need to run an additional userspace daemon (ocfs2_controld)
+ No controld device handling and controld protocol
+ Shifting responsibilities of node management to DLM layer
For backward compatibility, we are keeping the controld handling code.
Once enough time has passed we can remove a significant portion of the
code. This was tested by using the kernel with changes on older
unmodified tools. The kernel used ocfs2_controld as expected, and
displayed the appropriate warning message.
This feature requires modification in the userspace ocfs2-tools. The
changes can be found at: https://github.com/goldwynr/ocfs2-tools branch:
nocontrold Currently, not many checks are present in the userspace code,
but that would change soon.

ocfs2: Fix cleancache initialization call to correctly pass uuid

the ocfs2 volume UUID is incorrectly passed to cleancache.
As a result, shared-ephemeral tmem pools will not actually

Fix a corruption that can happen when we have (two or more) outstanding
aio's to an overlapping unaligned region. Ext4
(e9e3bcecf4) and xfs recently had to fix
similar issues.
In our case what happens is that we can have an outstanding aio on a region
and if a write comes in with some bytes overlapping the original aio we may
decide to read that region into a page before continuing (typically because
of buffered-io fallback). Since we have no ordering guarantees with the
aio, we can read stale or bad data into the page and then write it back out.
If the i/o is page and block aligned, then we avoid this issue as there
won't be any need to read data from disk.
I took the same approach as Eric in the ext4 patch and introduced some
serialization of unaligned async direct i/o. I don't expect this to have an
effect on the most common cases of AIO. Unaligned aio will be slower
though, but that's far more acceptable than data corruption.

Caching "we have already removed suid/caps" was overenthusiastic as merged.
On network filesystems we might have had suid/caps set on another client,
silently picked by this client on revalidate, all of that *without* clearing
the S_NOSEC flag.
AFAICS, the only reasonably sane way to deal with that is
* new superblock flag; unless set, S_NOSEC is not going to be set.
* local block filesystems set it in their ->mount() (more accurately,
mount_bdev() does, so does btrfs ->mount(), users of mount_bdev() other than
local block ones clear it)
* if any network filesystem (or a cluster one) wants to use S_NOSEC,
it'll need to set MS_NOSEC in sb->s_flags *AND* take care to clear S_NOSEC when
inode attribute changes are picked from other clients.
It's not an earth-shattering hole (anybody that can set suid on another client
will almost certainly be able to write to the file before doing that anyway),
but it's a bug that needs fixing.

As Al Viro pointed out path resolution during Q_QUOTAON calls to quotactl
is prone to deadlocks. We hold s_umount semaphore for reading during the
path resolution and resolution itself may need to acquire the semaphore
for writing when e. g. autofs mountpoint is passed.
Solve the problem by performing the resolution before we get hold of the
superblock (and thus s_umount semaphore). The whole thing is complicated
by the fact that some filesystems (OCFS2) ignore the path argument. So to
distinguish between filesystem which want the path and which do not we
introduce new .quota_on_meta callback which does not get the path. OCFS2
then uses this callback instead of old .quota_on.

RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
page lock to follow page->mapping.
The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

Currently, the default behavior of O_DIRECT writes was allowing
concurrent writing among nodes to the same file, with no cluster
coherency guaranteed (no EX lock held). This can leave stale data in
the cache for buffered reads on other nodes.
The new mount option introduce a chance to choose two different
behaviors for O_DIRECT writes:
* coherency=full, as the default value, will disallow
concurrent O_DIRECT writes by taking
EX locks.
* coherency=buffered, allow concurrent O_DIRECT writes
without EX lock among nodes, which
gains high performance at risk of
getting stale data on other nodes.

This patch is a preparation necessary to remove the BKL from do_new_mount().
It explicitly adds calls to lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around
get_sb/fill_super operations for filesystems that still uses the BKL.
I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside
do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL
any more.
do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs
and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called
from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount()
through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through
afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems
follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified
get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given
fill_super function.
Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the
low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation.
[arnd: do not add the BKL to those file systems that already
don't use it elsewhere]

Durring orphan scan, if we are slot 0, and we are replaying
orphan_dir:0001, the general process is that for every file
in this dir:
1. we will iget orphan_dir:0001, since there is no inode for it.
we will have to create an inode and read it from the disk.
2. do the normal work, such as delete_inode and remove it from
the dir if it is allowed.
3. call iput orphan_dir:0001 when we are done. In this case,
since we have no dcache for this inode, i_count will
reach 0, and VFS will have to call clear_inode and in
ocfs2_clear_inode we will checkpoint the inode which will let
ocfs2_cmt and journald begin to work.
4. We loop back to 1 for the next file.
So you see, actually for every deleted file, we have to read the
orphan dir from the disk and checkpoint the journal. It is very
time consuming and cause a lot of journal checkpoint I/O.
A better solution is that we can have another reference for these
inodes in ocfs2_super. So if there is no other race among
nodes(which will let dlmglue to checkpoint the inode), for step 3,
clear_inode won't be called and for step 1, we may only need to
read the inode for the 1st time. This is a big win for us.
So this patch will try to cache system inodes of other slots so
that we will have one more reference for these inodes and avoid
the extra inode read and journal checkpoint.

The OCFS2 developers have already done all of the hard work to allow
volumes larger than 16 TiB. But there is still a "sanity check" in
fs/ocfs2/super.c that prevents the mounting of such volumes, even when
the cluster size and journal options would allow it.
This patch replaces that sanity check with a more sophisticated one to
mount a huge volume provided that (a) it is addressable by the raw
word/address size of the system (borrowing a test from ext4); (b) the
volume is using JBD2; and (c) the JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT flag is
set on the journal.
I factored out the sanity check into its own function. I also moved it
from ocfs2_initialize_super() down to ocfs2_check_volume(); any earlier,
and the journal will not have been initialized yet.
This patch is one of a pair, and it depends on the other ("JBD2: Allow
feature checks before journal recovery").
I have tested this patch on small volumes, huge volumes, and huge
volumes without 64-bit block support in the journal. All of them appear
to work or to fail gracefully, as appropriate.
