The dlm encodes the node number and a sequence number in the lock cookie.
It also stores the cookie in the lockres in the big endian format to avoid
swapping 8 bytes on each lock request. The bug here was that it was assuming
the cookie to be in the cpu format when decoding it for printing the error
message. This patch swaps the bytes before the print.

Move the glock acquisition to outside of the transactions.
Lock odering must be preserved in order to prevent ABBA
deadlocks. The current gfs2_change_nlink code would tries
to grab the glock after having started a transaction and thus is holding
the log lock. This is inconsistent with other code paths in
gfs that grab the resource group glock prior to staring
a tranactions.
One problem with this fix is that the resource group
lock is always grabbed now even if the inode still has
ref count and can not be marked for unlink.

Dave Teigland fixed this bug a while back, but I managed to mistakenly
remove the semaphore during later development. It is required to avoid
the list of inodes changing during an invalidate_inodes call. I have
made it an rwsem since the read side will be taken frequently during
normal filesystem operation. The write site will only happen during
umount of the file system.
Also the bug only triggers when using the DLM lock manager and only then
under certain conditions as its timing related.

The patch below appears to fix the list corruption that we are seeing on
occasion. Although the transaction structure is private to a single
thread, when the queued structures are dismantled during an in-core
commit, its possible for a different thread to be trying to add the same

In certain cases, its possible for NFS to call the lookup code while

A long, complicated sequence of events, beginning with the RESEND flag not
being cleared on an lkb, can result in an unlock never completing.
- lkb on waiters list for remote lookup
- the remote node is both the dir node and the master node, so
it optimizes the lookup into a request and sends a request
reply back
- the request reply is saved on the requestqueue to be processed
after recovery
- recovery runs dlm_recover_waiters_pre() which sets RESEND flag
so the lookup will be resent after recovery
- end of recovery: process_requestqueue takes saved request reply
which removes the lkb off the waitesr list, _without_ clearing
the RESEND flag
- end of recovery: dlm_recover_waiters_post() doesn't do anything
with the now completed lookup lkb (would usually clear RESEND)
- later, the node unmounts, unlocks this lkb that still has RESEND
flag set
- the lkb is on the waiters list again, now for unlock, when recovery
occurs, dlm_recover_waiters_pre() shows the lkb for unlock with RESEND
set, doesn't do anything since the master still exists
- end of recovery: dlm_recover_waiters_post() takes this lkb off
the waiters list because it has the RESEND flag set, then reports
an error because unlocks are never supposed to be handled in
recover_waiters_post().
- later, the unlock reply is received, doesn't find the lkb on
the waiters list because recover_waiters_post() has wrongly
removed it.
- the unlock operation has been lost, and we're left with a
stray granted lock
- unmount spins waiting for the unlock to complete
The visible evidence of this problem will be a node where gfs umount is
spinning, the dlm waiters list will be empty, and the dlm locks list will
show a granted lock.
The fix is simply to clear the RESEND flag when taking an lkb off the
waiters list.

dlm_receive_message() returns 0 instead of returning 'error'. What would
happen is that process_requestqueue would take a saved message off the
requestqueue and call receive_message on it. receive_message would then
see that recovery had been aborted, set error to EINTR, and 'goto out',
expecting that the error would be returned. Instead, 0 was always
returned, so process_requestqueue would think that the message had been
processed and delete it instead of saving it to process next time. This
means the message (usually an unlock in my tests) would be lost.

I don't honestly have a good reason to change it other than to make it

I'm also curious; why does gfs2 have 64-bits of on-disk timestamps, but
not in timespec_t format, and only stores second resolutions? Seems like
you're halfway to sub-second resolutions already.
I suppose if that gets implemented then all of the below should

This patch doesn't make any changes to the ordering of the various
operations related to glocking, but it does tidy up the calls to the
glops.c functions to make the structure more obvious.
The two functions: gfs2_glock_xmote_th() and gfs2_glock_drop_th() can be
made static within glock.c since they are called by every set of glock
operations. The xmote_th and drop_th glock operations are then made
conditional upon those two routines existing and called from the
previously mentioned functions in glock.c respectively.
Also it can be seen that the go_sync operation isn't needed since it can
easily be replaced by calls to xmote_bh and drop_bh respectively. This
results in no longer (confusingly) calling back into routines in glock.c
from glops.c and also reducing the glock operations by one member.

Here is a patch for GFS2 to remove the local exclusive flag. In
the places it was used, mutex's are always held earlier in the
call path, so it appears redundant in the LM_ST_SHARED case.
Also, the GFS2 holders were setting local exclusive in any case where
the requested lock was LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE. So the other places in the glock
code where the flag was tested have been replaced with tests for the
lock state being LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE in order to ensure the logic is the
same as before (i.e. LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE is always locally exclusive as well
as globally exclusive).

The "greedy" code was an attempt to retain glocks for a minimum length
of time when they relate to mmap()ed files. The current implementation
of this feature is not, however, ideal in that it required allocating
memory in order to do this and its overly complicated.
It also misses the mark by ignoring the other I/O operations which are
just as likely to suffer from the same problem. So the plan is to remove
this now and then add the functionality back as part of the glock state
machine at a later date (and thus take into account all the possible
users of this feature)

Here is something I spotted (while looking for something entirely
different) the other day.
Rather than using a completion in each and every struct gfs2_holder,
this removes it in favour of hashed wait queues, thus saving a
considerable amount of memory both on the stack (where a number of
gfs2_holder structures are allocated) and in particular in the
gfs2_inode which has 8 gfs2_holder structures embedded within it.
As a result on x86_64 the gfs2_inode shrinks from 2488 bytes to
1912 bytes, a saving of 576 bytes per inode (no thats not a typo!).
In actual practice we get a much better result than that since
now that a gfs2_inode is under the 2048 byte barrier, we get two
per 4k slab page effectively halving the amount of memory required
to store gfs2_inodes.

This removes the extra filldir callback which gfs2 was using to
enclose an attempt at readahead for inodes during readdir. The
code was too complicated and also hurts performance badly in the
case that the getdents64/readdir call isn't being followed by
stat() and it wasn't even getting it right all the time when it
was.
As a result, on my test box an "ls" of a directory containing 250000
files fell from about 7mins (freshly mounted, so nothing cached) to
between about 15 to 25 seconds. When the directory content was cached,
the time taken fell from about 3mins to about 4 or 5 seconds.
Interestingly in the cached case, running "ls -l" once reduced the time
taken for subsequent runs of "ls" to about 6 secs even without this
patch. Now it turns out that there was a special case of glocks being
used for prefetching the metadata, but because of the timeouts for these
locks (set to 10 secs) the metadata was being timed out before it was
being used and this the prefetch code was constantly trying to prefetch
the same data over and over.
Calling "ls -l" meant that the inodes were brought into memory and once
the inodes are cached, the glocks are not disposed of until the inodes
are pushed out of the cache, thus extending the lifetime of the glocks,
and thus bringing down the time for subsequent runs of "ls"
considerably.

It occurred to me that although a gfs2 specific writepages for ordered
writes and journaled data would be tricky, by hooking writepages only
for "data=writeback" mounts we could take advantage of not needing
buffer heads (we don't use them on the read side, nor have we for some
time) and create much larger I/Os for the block layer.
Using blktrace both before and after, its possible to see that for large
I/Os, most of the requests generated through writepages are now 1024
sectors after this patch is applied as opposed to 8 sectors before.

If master recovery happens on an rsb in one recovery sequence, then that
sequence is aborted before lock recovery happens, then in the next
sequence, we rely on the previous master recovery (which may now be
invalid due to another node ignoring a lookup result) and go on do to the
lock recovery where we get stuck due to an invalid master value.
recovery cycle begins: master of rsb X has left
nodes A and B send node C an rcom lookup for X to find the new master
C gets lookup from B first, sets B as new master, and sends reply back to B
C gets lookup from A next, and sends reply back to A saying B is master
A gets lookup reply from C and sets B as the new master in the rsb
recovery cycle on A, B and C is aborted to start a new recovery
B gets lookup reply from C and ignores it since there's a new recovery
recovery cycle begins: some other node has joined
B doesn't think it's the master of X so it doesn't rebuild it in the directory
C looks up the master of X, no one is master, so it becomes new master
B looks up the master of X, finds it's C
A believes that B is the master of X, so it sends its lock to B
B sends an error back to A
A resends
this repeats forever, the incorrect master value on A is never corrected
The fix is to do master recovery on an rsb that still has the NEW_MASTER
flag set from an earlier recovery sequence, and therefore didn't complete
lock recovery.

When a user process exits, we clear all the locks it holds. There is a
problem, though, with locks that the process had begun unlocking before it
exited. We couldn't find the lkb's that were in the process of being
unlocked remotely, to flag that they are DEAD. To solve this, we move
lkb's being unlocked onto a new list in the per-process structure that
