When there is a lot of multithreaded I/O usage, two threads can collide
while sending out a message to the other nodes. This is due to the lack of
locking between threads while sending out the messages.
When a connected TCP send(), sendto(), or sendmsg() arrives in the Linux
kernel, it eventually comes through tcp_sendmsg(). tcp_sendmsg() protects
itself by acquiring a lock at invocation by calling lock_sock().
tcp_sendmsg() then loops over the buffers in the iovec, allocating
associated sk_buff's and cache pages for use in the actual send. As it does
so, it pushes the data out to tcp for actual transmission. However, if one
of those allocation fails (because a large number of large sends is being
processed, for example), it must wait for memory to become available. It
does so by jumping to wait_for_sndbuf or wait_for_memory, both of which
eventually cause a call to sk_stream_wait_memory(). sk_stream_wait_memory()
contains a code path that calls sk_wait_event(). Finally, sk_wait_event()
contains the call to release_sock().
The following patch adds a lock to the socket container in order to
properly serialize outbound requests.

This patch binds the o2net listener to the configured ip address
instead of INADDR_ANY for security. Fixes oss.oracle.com bugzilla#814.

Currently o2net allows one handler function per message type. This
patch adds the ability to call another function to be called after
the handler has returned the message to the other node.
Handlers are now given the option of returning a context (in the form of a
void **) which will be passed back into the post message handler function.

All kcalloc() calls of the form "kcalloc(1,...)" are converted to the
equivalent kzalloc() calls, and a few kcalloc() calls with the incorrect
ordering of the first two arguments are fixed.

Modify the OCFS2 handshake to ensure essential timeouts are configured
identically on all nodes.
Only allow changes when there are no connected peers
Improves the logic in o2net_advance_rx() which broke now that
sizeof(struct o2net_handshake) is greater than sizeof(struct o2net_msg)
Included is the field for userspace-heartbeat timeout to avoid the need for
further protocol changes.
Uses a global spinlock to ensure the decisions to update configfs entries
are made on the correct value. The region covered by the spinlock when
incrementing the counter is much larger as this is the more critical case.

locking init cleanups:
- convert " = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED" to spin_lock_init() or DEFINE_SPINLOCK()
- convert rwlocks in a similar manner
this patch was generated automatically.
Motivation:
- cleanliness
- lockdep needs control of lock initialization, which the open-coded
variants do not give
- it's also useful for -rt and for lock debugging in general
