Remove read/write permission() checks from xattr operations.
VFS layer is already handling permission for xattrs via the
xattr_permission() call, so there is no need for gfs2 to
check permissions. Futhermore, using permission() for SELinux
xattrs ops is incorrect.

The issue is indeed UP vs SMP and it is totally random.

spin_is_locked() is a bad assertion because there is no correct answer on UP.
on UP spin_is_locked() has to return either one value or another, always.

This means that in my setup I am lucky enough to trigger the issue and your you
are lucky enough not to.

the patch in attachment removes the bogus calls to BUG_ON and according to David
(in CC and thanks for the long explanation on the problem) we can rely upon
things like lockdep to find problem that might be trying to catch.

The patch is a fix to abort mount if the mount.gfs* and possible
umount.* are missing from /sbin.

While we do what we can to guarantee that they are installed properly in
userland (CVS HEAD), we want to make sure that mount still aborts properly.

The only sign of missing helpers is that lock_dlm will receive no mount options
at all. According to David the problem does not exist for lock_nolock as the
helpers are not required.

The patch has been tested for both gfs and gfs2 and it works as expected. The
lack of mount.gfs* will generate an error that is propagated to mount:

oot@node1:~# mount -t  gfs2 /dev/nbd2 /mnt/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/nbd2,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

You might want to notice that it will also avoid mount to hang or fail silently
or with strange errors that will require the cluster to reboot/restart before
you can actually mount the filesystem again.

We only care about the content of the jindex in two cases,
one is when we mount the fs and the other is when we need
to recover another journal. In both cases we have to update
the jindex anyway, so there is no point in updating it
periodically between times, so this removes it to simplify
gfs2_logd.

Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

The only reason for adding glocks to the journal was to keep track
of which locks required a log flush prior to release. We add a
flag to the glock to allow this check to be made in a simpler way.

This reduces the size of a glock (by 12 bytes on i386, 24 on x86_64)
and means that we can avoid extra work during the journal flush.

The HIF_MUTEX and HIF_PROMOTE flags were set on the glock holders
depending upon which of the two waiters lists they were going to
be queued upon. They were then tested when the holders were taken
off the lists to ensure that the right type of holder was being
dequeued.

Since we are already using separate lists, there doesn't seem a
lot of point having these flags as well, and since setting them
and testing them is in the fast path for locking and unlocking
glock, this patch removes them.

Previously we were doing (write data, wait for data, write metadata, wait
for metadata). After this patch we so (write metadata, write data, wait for
data, wait for metadata) which should be more efficient.

Also I noticed that the drop_bh and xmote_bh functions were almost
identical. In fact the only difference was a single test, and that
test is such that in the drop_bh case, it would always evaluate to
the correct result. As such we can use the xmote_bh functions in
all the places where we were using the drop_bh function and remove
the drop_bh functions.

This call to reclaim glocks is not needed, and in particular we don't want it

This is an addendum to the new AOPs work which moves the point
at which we take the page lock so that we don't get it until
the last possible moment. This resolves a conflict between
starting transactions and the page lock.
Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This patch resolves a lock ordering issue where we had been getting
a transaction lock in the wrong order with respect to the page lock.
By using writepages rather than just writepage, it is then possible
to start a transaction before locking the page, and thus matching the
locking order elsewhere in the code.

This patch splits gfs2_writepage into separate functions for each of
the three cases: writeback, ordered and journalled. As a result
it becomes a lot easier to see what each one is doing. The common
code is moved into gfs2_writepage_common.

This fixes a performance bug where we were doing more work than
strictly required in the ordered write case.
Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

Just like ext3 we now have three sets of address space operations
to cover the cases of writeback, ordered and journalled data
writes. This means that the individual operations can now become
less complicated as we are able to remove some of the tests for
file data mode from the code.

This adds a function "gfs2_is_writeback()" along the lines of the
existing "gfs2_is_jdata()" in order to clean up the code and make

in the case of an error path.

The i_cache was designed to keep references to the indirect blocks
used during block mapping so that they didn't have to be looked
up continually. The idea failed because there are too many places
where the i_cache needs to be freed, and this has in the past been
the cause of many bugs.

In addition there was no performance benefit being gained since the
disk blocks in question were cached anyway. So this patch removes
it in order to simplify the code to prepare for other changes which
would otherwise have had to add further support for this feature.

This cleans up the mmap() code path for GFS2 by implementing the
page_mkwrite function for GFS2. We are thus able to use the
generic filemap_fault function for our ->fault() implementation.

This now means that shared writable mappings will be much more
efficiently shared across the cluster if there is a reasonable
proportion of read activity (the greater proportion, the better).

As a side effect, it also reduces the size of the code, removes
special cases from readpage and readpages, and makes the code
path easier to follow.
Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

As requested by Christoph, this patch cleans up GFS2's internal
read function so that it no longer uses the do_generic_mapping_read
function. This function is obsolete and GFS2 is the last user of it.

As a side effect the internal read code gets smaller and easier
to read and gfs2_readpage is split into two. One function has the locking
and the other function has the rest of the logic.

Fix a race condition where multiple glock demote requests are sent to

instead of erronously setting gl_demote_state to a different state.

	if (c == 0 && tx == NULL)
		mcspi_write_cs_reg(spi,

But because c is decremented after the test, c will never be zero and
rx+tx will not be enabled. This breaks RX_ONLY mode PIO transfers.

The shared page table code for hugetlb memory on x86 and x86_64
is causing a leak.  When a user of hugepages exits using this code
the system leaks some of the hugepages.

-------------------------------------------------------
Part of /proc/meminfo just before database startup:
HugePages_Total:  5500
HugePages_Free:   5500
HugePages_Rsvd:      0
Hugepagesize:     2048 kB

Just before shutdown:
HugePages_Total:  5500
HugePages_Free:   4475
HugePages_Rsvd:      0
Hugepagesize:     2048 kB

After shutdown:
HugePages_Total:  5500
HugePages_Free:   4988
HugePages_Rsvd:
0 Hugepagesize:     2048 kB
----------------------------------------------------------

The problem occurs durring a fork, in copy_hugetlb_page_range().  It
locates the dst_pte using huge_pte_alloc().  Since huge_pte_alloc() calls
huge_pmd_share() it will share the pmd page if can, yet the main loop in
copy_hugetlb_page_range() does a get_page() on every hugepage.  This is a
violation of the shared hugepmd pagetable protocol and creates additional
referenced to the hugepages causing a leak when the unmap of the VMA
occurs.  We can skip the entire replication of the ptes when the hugepage
pagetables are shared.  The attached patch skips copying the ptes and the
get_page() calls if the hugetlbpage pagetable is shared.

Michael Wu noticed in his lkml post at

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119396182726091&w=2

that certain wireless drivers ended up having their name in module
memory, which would then crash the kernel on module unload.

The patch he proposed was a bit clumsy in that it increased the size of
a lockdep entry significantly; the patch below tries another approach,
it checks, on module teardown, if the name of a class is in module space
and then zaps the class.  This is very similar to what we already do
with keys that are in module space.
