be99ca2716 fs/ocfs2: fix race in ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock()
ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock() can be executed in parallel threads against the
same dentry.  Make that race safe.  The race is like this:

            thread A                               thread B

(A1) enter ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock,
seeing dentry->d_fsdata is NULL,
and no alias found by
ocfs2_find_local_alias, so kmalloc
a new ocfs2_dentry_lock structure
to local variable "dl", dl1

               .....

                                    (B1) enter ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock,
                                    seeing dentry->d_fsdata is NULL,
                                    and no alias found by
                                    ocfs2_find_local_alias so kmalloc
                                    a new ocfs2_dentry_lock structure
                                    to local variable "dl", dl2.

                                                   ......

(A2) set dentry->d_fsdata with dl1,
call ocfs2_dentry_lock() and increase
dl1->dl_lockres.l_ro_holders to 1 on
success.
              ......

                                    (B2) set dentry->d_fsdata with dl2
                                    call ocfs2_dentry_lock() and increase
				    dl2->dl_lockres.l_ro_holders to 1 on
				    success.

                                                  ......

(A3) call ocfs2_dentry_unlock()
and decrease
dl2->dl_lockres.l_ro_holders to 0
on success.
             ....

                                    (B3) call ocfs2_dentry_unlock(),
                                    decreasing
				    dl2->dl_lockres.l_ro_holders, but
				    see it's zero now, panic

8ed6b23709 ocfs2: revert iput deferring code in ocfs2_drop_dentry_lock
The following patches are reverted in this patch because these patches
caused performance regression in the remote unlink() calls.

  ea455f8ab6 - ocfs2: Push out dropping of dentry lock to ocfs2_wq
  f7b1aa69be - ocfs2: Fix deadlock on umount
  5fd1318937 - ocfs2: Don't oops in ocfs2_kill_sb on a failed mount

Previous patches in this series removed the possible deadlocks from
downconvert thread so the above patches shouldn't be needed anymore.

The regression is caused because these patches delay the iput() in case
of dentry unlocks.  This also delays the unlocking of the open lockres.
The open lockresource is required to test if the inode can be wiped from
disk or not.  When the deleting node does not get the open lock, it
marks it as orphan (even though it is not in use by another
node/process) and causes a journal checkpoint.  This delays operations
following the inode eviction.  This also moves the inode to the orphaned
inode which further causes more I/O and a lot of unneccessary orphans.

The following script can be used to generate the load causing issues:

  declare -a create
  declare -a remove
  declare -a iterations=(1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096 8192 16384)
  unique="`mktemp -u XXXXX`"
  script="/tmp/idontknow-${unique}.sh"
  cat <<EOF > "${script}"
  for n in {1..8}; do mkdir -p test/dir\${n}
    eval touch test/dir\${n}/foo{1.."\$1"}
  done
  EOF
  chmod 700 "${script}"

  function fcreate ()
  {
    exec 2>&1 /usr/bin/time --format=%E "${script}" "$1"
  }

  function fremove ()
  {
    exec 2>&1 /usr/bin/time --format=%E ssh node2 "cd `pwd`; rm -Rf test*"
  }

  function fcp ()
  {
    exec 2>&1 /usr/bin/time --format=%E ssh node3 "cd `pwd`; cp -R test test.new"
  }

  echo -------------------------------------------------
  echo "| # files | create #s | copy #s | remove #s |"
  echo -------------------------------------------------
  for ((x=0; x < ${#iterations[*]} ; x++)) do
    create[$x]="`fcreate ${iterations[$x]}`"

    remove[$x]="`fremove`"
    printf "| %8d | %9s | %9s | %9s |\n" ${iterations[$x]} ${create[$x]} ${copy[$x]} ${remove[$x]}

b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

c1e8d35ef5 ocfs2: Remove EXIT from masklog.
mlog_exit is used to record the exit status of a function.
But because it is added in so many functions, if we enable it,
the system logs get filled up quickly and cause too much I/O.
So actually no one can open it for a production system or even
for a test.

This patch just try to remove it or change it. So:
1. if all the error paths already use mlog_errno, it is just removed.
   Otherwise, it will be replaced by mlog_errno.
2. if it is used to print some return value, it is replaced with
   mlog(0,...).
mlog_exit_ptr is changed to mlog(0.
All those mlog(0,...) will be replaced with trace events later.

dc0474be3e fs: dcache rationalise dget variants
dget_locked was a shortcut to avoid the lazy lru manipulation when we already
held dcache_lock (lru manipulation was relatively cheap at that point).
However, how that the lru lock is an innermost one, we never hold it at any
caller, so the lock cost can now be avoided. We already have well working lazy
dcache LRU, so it should be fine to defer LRU manipulations to scan time.

1989a80a60 Ocfs2: Stop tracking a negative dentry after dentry_iput().
I suddenly hit the problem during 2.6.37-rc1 regression test, which was
introduced by commit '5e98d492406818e6a94c0ba54c61f59d40cefa4a'(Track
negative entries v3), following scenario reproduces the issue easily:

Node A			Node B
================	============
$touch 	testfile
			$ls testfile
$rm -rf testfile
$touch 	testfile
			$ls testfile
			ls: cannot access testfile: No such file or directory

This patch stops tracking the dentry which was negativated by a inode deletion,
so as to force the revaliation in next lookup, in case we'll touch the inode
again in the same node.

It didn't hurt the performance of multiple lookup for none-existed files anyway,
while regresses a bit in the first try after a file deletion.

5e98d49240 Track negative entries v3
Track negative dentries by recording the generation number of the parent
directory in d_fsdata. The generation number for the parent directory is
recorded in the inode_info, which increments every time the lock on the
directory is dropped.

If the generation number of the parent directory and the negative dentry
matches, there is no need to perform the revalidate, else a revalidate
is forced. This improves performance in situations where nodes look for
the same non-existent file multiple times.

Thanks Mark for explaining the DLM sequence.

a1b08e75df ocfs2: invalidate dentry if its dentry_lock isn't initialized.
In commit a5a0a63092, when
ocfs2_attch_dentry_lock fails, we call an extra iput and reset
dentry->d_fsdata to NULL. This resolve a bug, but it isn't
completed and the dentry is still there. When we want to use
it again, ocfs2_dentry_revalidate doesn't catch it and return
true. That make future ocfs2_dentry_lock panic out.
One bug is http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1162.

The resolution is to add a check for dentry->d_fsdata in
revalidate process and return false if dentry->d_fsdata is NULL,
so that a new ocfs2_lookup will be called again.

f7b1aa69be ocfs2: Fix deadlock on umount
In commit ea455f8ab6, we moved the dentry lock
put process into ocfs2_wq. This causes problems during umount because ocfs2_wq
can drop references to inodes while they are being invalidated by
invalidate_inodes() causing all sorts of nasty things (invalidate_inodes()
ending in an infinite loop, "Busy inodes after umount" messages etc.).

We fix the problem by stopping ocfs2_wq from doing any further releasing of
inode references on the superblock being unmounted, wait until it finishes
the current round of releasing and finally cleaning up all the references in
dentry_lock_list from ocfs2_put_super().

The issue was tracked down by Tao Ma <tao.ma@oracle.com>.

Dropping of last reference to dentry lock is a complicated operation involving

34d024f843 ocfs2: Remove mount/unmount votes
The node maps that are set/unset by these votes are no longer relevant, thus
we can remove the mount and umount votes. Since those are the last two
remaining votes, we can also remove the entire vote infrastructure.

The vote thread has been renamed to the downconvert thread, and the small
amount of functionality related to managing it has been moved into
fs/ocfs2/dlmglue.c. All references to votes have been removed or updated.

bccb9dad89 ocfs2: Remove bug statement in ocfs2_dentry_iput()
The existing bug statement didn't take into account unhashed dentries which
might not have a cluster lock on them. This could happen if a node exporting
the file system via NFS is rebooted, re-exported to nfs clients and then
unmounted. It's fine in this case to not have a dentry cluster lock.

Just remove the bug statement and replace it with an error print, which
does the proper checks. Though we want to know if something has happened
which might have prevented a cluster lock from being created, it's
definitely not necessary to panic the machine for this.

9f70968af3 ocfs2: Re-order iput in ocfs2_drop_dentry_lock
Do this to avoid a theoretical (I haven't seen this in practice) race where
the downconvert thread might drop the dentry lock, allowing a remote unlink
to proceed before dropping the inode locks. This could bounce access to the
orphan dir between nodes.

There doesn't seem to be a need to do the same in ocfs2_dentry_iput() as
that's never called for the last ref drop from the downconvert thread.

0027dd5bc2 ocfs2: Remove special casing for inode creation in ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock()
We can't use LKM_LOCAL for new dentry locks because an unlink and subsequent
re-create of a name/inode pair may result in the lock still being mastered
somewhere in the cluster.

1ba9da2ffa ocfs2: manually d_move() during ocfs2_rename()
Make use of FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE to avoid a race condition that can occur
during ->rename() if we d_move() outside of the parent directory cluster
locks, and another node discovers the new name (created during the rename)
and unlinks it. d_move() will unconditionally rehash a dentry - which will
leave stale data in the system.

80c05846f6 ocfs2: Add dentry tracking API
Replace the dentry vote mechanism with a cluster lock which covers a set
of dentries. This allows us to force d_delete() only on nodes which actually
care about an unlink.

Every node that does a ->lookup() gets a read only lock on the dentry, until
an unlink during which the unlinking node, will request an exclusive lock,
forcing the other nodes who care about that dentry to d_delete() it. The
effect is that we retain a very lightweight ->d_revalidate(), and at the
same time get to make large improvements to the average case performance of
the ocfs2 unlink and rename operations.

This patch adds the higher level API and the dentry manipulation code.

d680efe9d8 ocfs2: Add new cluster lock type
Replace the dentry vote mechanism with a cluster lock which covers a set
of dentries. This allows us to force d_delete() only on nodes which actually
care about an unlink.

Every node that does a ->lookup() gets a read only lock on the dentry, until

the ocfs2 unlink and rename operations.

This patch adds the cluster lock type which OCFS2 can attach to
dentries.  A small number of fs/ocfs2/dcache.c functions are stubbed
out so that this change can compile.
