The patch below consists of the following changes (in code order):
1. I fixed a minor compiler warning regarding the printing of
a kernel symbol address.
2. I implemented a suggestion from Dave Teigland that moves
the debugfs information for gfs2 into a subdirectory so
we can easily expand our use of debugfs in the future.
The current code keeps the glock information in:
/debug/gfs2/<fs>
With the patch, the new code keeps the glock information in:
/debug/gfs2/<fs>/glock
That will allow us to create more debugfs files in the future.
3. This fixes a bug whereby a failed mount attempt causes the
debugfs file to not be deleted. Failed mount attempts should
always clean up after themselves, including deleting the
debugfs file and/or directory.

This is for Bugzilla Bug 236008: Kernel gpf doing cat /debugfs/gfs2/xxx
(lock dump) seen at the "gfs2 summit". This also fixes the bug that caused
garbage to be printed by the "initialized at" field. I apologize for the
kludge, but that code will all be ripped out anyway when the official
sprint_symbol function becomes available in the Linux kernel. I also
changed some formatting so that spaces are replaced by proper tabs.

In Testing the previously posted and accepted patch for
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228540
I uncovered some gfs2 badness. It turns out that the current
gfs2 code saves off a process pointer when glocks is taken
in both the glock and glock holder structures. Those
structures will persist in memory long after the process has
ended; pointers to poisoned memory.
This problem isn't caused by the 228540 fix; the new capability
introduced by the fix just uncovered the problem.
I wrote this patch that avoids saving process pointers
and instead saves off the process pid. Rather than
referencing the bad pointers, it now does process lookups.
There is special code that makes the output nicer for
printing holder information for processes that have ended.
This patch also adds a stub for the new "sprint_symbol"
function that exists in Andrew Morton's -mm patch set, but
won't go into the base kernel until 2.6.22, since it adds
functionality but doesn't fix a bug.

Since gcc didn't evaluate the last two terms of the expression in
glock.c:1881 as a constant expression, it resulted in an error on
i386 due to the lack of a 64bit divide instruction. This adds some
brackets to fix the problem.
This was reported by Andrew Morton.

This patch prevents the printing of a warning message in cases where
the fs is functioning normally by handing off responsibility for
unlinked, but still open inodes, to another node for eventual deallocation.
Also, there is now an improved system for ensuring that such requests
to other nodes do not get lost. The callback on the iopen lock is
only ever called when i_nlink == 0 and when a node is unable to deallocate
it due to it still being in use on another node. When a node receives
the callback therefore, it knows that i_nlink must be zero, so we mark
it as such (in gfs2_drop_inode) in order that it will then attempt
deallocation of the inode itself.
As an additional benefit, queuing a demote request no longer requires
a memory allocation. This simplifies the code for dealing with gfs2_holders
as it removes one special case.
There are two new fields in struct gfs2_glock. gl_demote_state is the
state which the remote node has requested and gl_demote_time is the
time when the request came in. Both fields are only valid when the
GLF_DEMOTE flag is set in gl_flags.

The attached patch resolves bz 228540. This adds the capability
for gfs2 to dump gfs2 locks through the debugfs file system.
This used to exist in gfs1 as "gfs_tool lockdump" but it's missing from
gfs2 because all the ioctls were stripped out. Please see the bugzilla
for more history about the fix. This patch is also attached to the bugzilla
record.
The patch is against Steve Whitehouse's latest nmw git tree kernel
(2.6.21-rc1) and has been tested on system trin-10.

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.

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.

This fixes a bug which resulted in poor performance due to flushing
the journal too often. The code path in question was via the inode_go_sync()
function in glops.c. The solution is not to flush the journal immediately
when inodes are ejected from memory, but batch up the work for glockd to
deal with later on. This means that glocks may now live on beyond the end of
the lifetime of their inodes (but not very much longer in the normal case).
Also fixed in this patch is a bug (which was hidden by the bug mentioned above) in
calculation of the number of free journal blocks.
The gfs2_logd process has been altered to be more responsive to the journal
filling up. We now wake it up when the number of uncommitted journal blocks
has reached the threshold level rather than trying to flush directly at the
end of each transaction. This again means doing fewer, but larger, log
flushes in general.

The go_sync callback took two flags, but one of them was set on every
call, so this patch removes once of the flags and makes the previously
conditional operations (on this flag), unconditional.
The go_inval callback took three flags, each of which was set on every
call to it. This patch removes the flags and makes the operations
unconditional, which makes the logic rather more obvious.
Two now unused flags are also removed from incore.h.

This results in smaller list heads, so that we can have more chains
in the same amount of memory (twice as many). I've multiplied the
size of the table by four though - this is because we are saving
memory by not having one lock per chain any more. So we land up
using about the same amount of memory for the hash table as we
did before I started these changes, the difference being that we
now have four times as many hash chains.
The reason that I say "about the same amount of memory" is that the
actual amount now depends upon the NR_CPUS and some of the config
variables, so that its not exact and in some cases we do use more
memory. Eventually we might want to scale the hash table size
according to the size of physical ram as measured on module load.

The existing implementation of this function in glock.c was not
very efficient as it relied upon keeping a cursor element upon the
hash chain in question and moving it along. This new version improves
upon this by using the current element as a cursor. This is possible
since we only look at the "next" element in the list after we've
taken the read_lock() subsequent to calling the examiner function.
Obviously we have to eventually drop the ref count that we are then
left with and we cannot do that while holding the read_lock, so we
do that next time we drop the lock. That means either just before
we examine another glock, or when the loop has terminated.
The new implementation has several advantages: it uses only a
read_lock() rather than a write_lock(), so it can run simnultaneously
with other code, it doesn't need a "plug" element, so that it removes
a test not only from this list iterator, but from all the other glock
list iterators too. So it makes things faster and smaller.

This splits the rwlocks guarding the hash chains of the glock hash
table into their own array. This will reduce memory usage in some
cases due to better alignment, although the real reason for doing it
is to allow the two tables to be different sizes in future (i.e.
the locks will be sized proportionally with the max number of CPUs
and the hash chains sized proportinally with the size of physical memory)
In order to allow this, the gl_bucket member of struct gfs2_glock has
now become gl_hash, so we record the hash rather than a pointer to the
bucket itself.

There are several reasons why we want to do this:
- Firstly its large and thus we'll scale better with multiple
GFS2 fs mounted at the same time
- Secondly its easier to scale its size as required (thats a plan
for later patches)
- Thirdly, we can use kzalloc rather than vmalloc when allocating
the superblock (its now only 4888 bytes)
- Fourth its all part of my plan to eventually be able to use RCU
with the glock hash.

As per comments from Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> this
updates the copyright message to say "version" in full rather than
"v.2". Also incore.h has been updated to remove forward structure
declarations which are not required.
The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added
to it. Also quota.c has been updated so that we now store the
lvb data locally in endian independant format to avoid needing
a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess
conversions are done as required at various points and thus the
conversion routines in lvb.[ch] are no longer required. I've
moved the one remaining constant in lvb.h thats used into lm.h
and removed the unused lvb.[ch].
I have not changed the HIF_ constants. That is left to a later patch
which I hope will unify the gh_flags and gh_iflags fields of the
struct gfs2_holder.
