15c7cee799 [GFS2] Function meta_read optimization
This patch optimizes function gfs2_meta_read.  Basically, gfs2_meta_wait
was being called regardless of whether a disk read was requested.
This just pulls that wait into the if that triggers the read.

398bbe6832 [GFS2] Reorganize function gfs2_glmutex_lock
This patch optimizes the function gfs2_glmutex_lock.
The basic theory is: Why bother initializing a holder, setting up
wait bits and then waiting on them, if you know the glock can be
yours.  So the holder stuff is placed inside the if checking if the
glock is locked.  This one needs careful scrutiny because changing
anything to do with locking should strike terror into one's heart.

5fdc2eeb5d [GFS2] Run through full bitmaps quicker in gfs2_bitfit
I eliminated the passing of an unused parameter into gfs2_bitfit called rgd.

This also changes the gfs2_bitfit code that searches for free (or used) blocks.
Before, the code was trying to check for bytes that indicated 4 blocks in
the undesired state.  The problem is, it was spending more time trying to
do this than it actually was saving.  This version only optimizes the case
where we're looking for free blocks, and it checks a machine word at a time.
So on 32-bit machines, it will check 32-bits (16 blocks) and on 64-bit
machines, it will check 64-bits (32 blocks) at a time.  The compiler
optimizes that quite well and we save some time, especially when running
through full bitmaps (like the bitmaps allocated for the journals).

There's probably a more elegant or optimized way to do this, but I haven't
thought of it yet.  I'm open to suggestions.

da6dd40d59 [GFS2] Journal extent mapping
This patch saves a little time when gfs2 writes to the journals by
keeping a mapping between logical and physical blocks on disk.
That's better than constantly looking up indirect pointers in

e9e1ef2b6e [GFS2] Remove function gfs2_get_block
This patch is just a cleanup.  Function gfs2_get_block() just calls
function gfs2_block_map reversing the last two parameters.  By
reversing the parameters, gfs2_block_map() may be called directly
and function gfs2_get_block may be eliminated altogether.
Since this function is done for every block operation,
this streamlines the code and makes it a little bit more efficient.

292c8c14ca [GFS2] patch to check for recursive lock requests in gfs2_rename code path
A certain scenario in the rename code path triggers a kernel BUG()
because it accidentally does recursive locking The first lock is
requested to unlink an already existing inode (replacing a file) and the
second lock is requested when the destination directory needs to alloc
some space. It is rare that these two
events happen during the same rename call, and even more rare that these
two instances try to lock the same rgrp. It is, however, possible.

file operation table for lock_nolock protocol. This would allow VFS to handle

1a2781cfa5 [GFS2] Fix runtime issue with UP kernels
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.

0b7580c786 [GFS2] Check for installation of mount helpers for DLM mounts
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

[ 3513.303346] GFS2: fsid=: Trying to join cluster "lock_dlm", "gutsy:gfs2"
[ 3513.304546] DLM/GFS2/GFS ERROR: (u)mount helpers are not installed properly!
[ 3513.306290] GFS2: fsid=: can't mount proto=lock_dlm, table=gutsy:gfs2, hostdata=

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.

e589665eb9 [GFS2] Remove flags no longer required
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

and testing them is in the fast path for locking and unlocking
glock, this patch removes them.

3042a2ccd6 [GFS2] Reorder writeback for glock sync
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.

c5c99429fa fix hugepages leak due to pagetable page sharing
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.

Because the data field was never filled and a binary sysctl handler was
never written this sysctl has never been usable through the sys_sysctl
interface.  So just remove the binary sysctl number.  Making the kernel
sanity checks happy.

fabe874a48 lockdep: fix kernel crash on module unload
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.
