To prevent the master of an rsb from changing rapidly, an unused rsb is kept
on the "toss list" for a period of time to be reused. The toss list was
being cleared completely for each recovery, which is unnecessary. Much of
the benefit of the toss list can be maintained if nodes keep rsb's in their
toss list that they are the master of. These rsb's need to be included
when the resource directory is rebuilt during recovery.

In a rare case we may need to repeat a local resource directory lookup
due to a race with removing the rsb and removing the resdir record.
We'll never need to do more than a single additional lookup, though,
so the infinite loop around the lookup can be removed. In addition
to being unnecessary, the infinite loop is dangerous since some other
unknown condition may appear causing the loop to never break.

Non-forced unlocks should be rejected if the lock is waiting on the

There was some hit and miss validation of messages that has now been
cleaned up and unified. Before processing a message, the new
validate_message() function checks that the lkb is the appropriate type,
process-copy or master-copy, and that the message is from the correct
nodeid for the the given lkb. Other checks and assertions on the
lkb type and nodeid have been removed. The assertions were particularly
bad since they would panic the machine instead of just ignoring the bad
message.
Although other recent patches have made processing old message unlikely,
it still may be possible for an old message to be processed and caught
by these checks.

Messages from nodes that are no longer members of the lockspace should be
ignored. When nodes are removed from the lockspace, recovery can
sometimes complete quickly enough that messages arrive from a removed node
after recovery has completed. When processed, these messages would often
cause an error message, and could in some cases change some state, causing
problems.

When a failed request (EBADR or ENOTBLK) is unlocked/canceled instead of
retried, there may be other lkb's waiting on the rsb_lookup list for it
to complete. A call to confirm_master() is needed to move on to the next
waiting lkb since the current one won't be retried.

When recovery looks at locks waiting for replies, it fails to consider
locks that have already received a reply for their first remote operation,
but not received a reply for secondary, overlapping unlock/cancel. The

The lkb_ast_type field indicates whether the lkb is on the astqueue list.
When clearing locks for a process, lkb's were being removed from the astqueue
list without clearing the field. If release_lockspace then happened
immediately afterward, it could try to remove the lkb from the list a second
time.
Appears when process calls libdlm dlm_release_lockspace() which first
closes the ls dev triggering clear_proc_locks, and then removes the ls
(a write to control dev) causing release_lockspace().

Some errno values differ across platforms. So if we return things like
-EINPROGRESS from one node it can get misinterpreted or rejected on
another one.
This patch fixes up the errno values passed on the wire so that they
match the x86 ones (so as not to break the protocol), and re-instates
the platform-specific ones at the other end.

A common problem occurs when multiple IP addresses within the same
subnet are assigned to the same NIC. If we make a connection attempt to
another address on the same subnet as one of those addresses, the
connection attempt will not necessarily be routed from the address we
want.
In the case of the DLM, the other nodes will quickly drop the connection
attempt, causing problems.
This patch makes the DLM bind to the local address it acquired from the
cluster manager when using TCP prior to making a connection, obviating
the need for administrators to "fix" their systems or use clever routing
tricks.

The i_version field of the inode is changed to be a 64-bit counter that
is set on every inode creation and that is incremented every time the
inode data is modified (similarly to the "ctime" time-stamp).
The aim is to fulfill a NFSv4 requirement for rfc3530.
This first part concerns the vfs, it converts the 32-bit i_version in
the generic inode to a 64-bit, a flag is added in the super block in
order to check if the feature is enabled and the i_version is
incremented in the vfs.

The journal checksum feature adds two new flags i.e
JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_ASYNC_COMMIT and JBD2_FEATURE_COMPAT_CHECKSUM.
JBD2_FEATURE_CHECKSUM flag indicates that the commit block contains the
checksum for the blocks described by the descriptor blocks.
Due to checksums, writing of the commit record no longer needs to be
synchronous. Now commit record can be sent to disk without waiting for
descriptor blocks to be written to disk. This behavior is controlled
using JBD2_FEATURE_ASYNC_COMMIT flag. Older kernels/e2fsck should not be
able to recover the journal with _ASYNC_COMMIT hence it is made
incompat.
The commit header has been extended to hold the checksum along with the
type of the checksum.
For recovery in pass scan checksums are verified to ensure the sanity
and completeness(in case of _ASYNC_COMMIT) of every transaction.

Before we start committing a transaction, we call
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() to cleanup transaction's written-back
buffers.
If this call happens to remove all of them (and there were already some
buffers), __journal_remove_checkpoint() will decide to free the transaction
because it isn't (yet) a committing transaction and soon we fail some
assertion - the transaction really isn't ready to be freed :).
We change the check in __journal_remove_checkpoint() to free only a
transaction in T_FINISHED state. The locking there is subtle though (as
everywhere in JBD ;(). We use j_list_lock to protect the check and a
subsequent call to __journal_drop_transaction() and do the same in the end
of journal_commit_transaction() which is the only place where a transaction
can get to T_FINISHED state.
Probably I'm too paranoid here and such locking is not really necessary -
checkpoint lists are processed only from log_do_checkpoint() where a
transaction must be already committed to be processed or from
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() where kjournald itself calls it and thus
transaction cannot change state either. Better be safe if something
changes in future...

When mounting an ext4 filesystem with corrupted s_first_data_block, things
can go very wrong and oops.
Because blocks_count in ext4_fill_super is a u64, and we must use do_div,
the calculation of db_count is done differently than on ext4. If
first_data_block is corrupted such that it is larger than ext4_blocks_count,
for example, then the intermediate blocks_count value may go negative,
but sign-extend to a very large value:
blocks_count = (ext4_blocks_count(es) -
le32_to_cpu(es->s_first_data_block) +
EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) - 1);
This is then assigned to s_groups_count which is an unsigned long:
sbi->s_groups_count = blocks_count;
This may result in a value of 0xFFFFFFFF which is then used to compute
db_count:
db_count = (sbi->s_groups_count + EXT4_DESC_PER_BLOCK(sb) - 1) /
EXT4_DESC_PER_BLOCK(sb);
and in this case db_count will wind up as 0 because the addition overflows
32 bits. This in turn causes the kmalloc for group_desc to be of 0 size:
sbi->s_group_desc = kmalloc(db_count * sizeof (struct buffer_head *),
GFP_KERNEL);
and eventually in ext4_check_descriptors, dereferencing
sbi->s_group_desc[desc_block] will result in a NULL pointer dereference.
The simplest test seems to be to sanity check s_first_data_block,
EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP, and ext4_blocks_count values to be sure
their combination won't result in a bad intermediate value for
blocks_count. We could just check for db_count == 0, but
catching it at the root cause seems like it provides more info.
