13723d00e3 ocfs2: Use metadata-specific ocfs2_journal_access_*() functions.
The per-metadata-type ocfs2_journal_access_*() functions hook up jbd2
commit triggers and allow us to compute metadata ecc right before the
buffers are written out.  This commit provides ecc for inodes, extent
blocks, group descriptors, and quota blocks.  It is not safe to use
extened attributes and metaecc at the same time yet.

The ocfs2_extent_tree and ocfs2_path abstractions in alloc.c both hide
the type of block at their root.  Before, it didn't matter, but now the
root block must use the appropriate ocfs2_journal_access_*() function.
To keep this abstract, the structures now have a pointer to the matching
journal_access function and a wrapper call to call it.

A few places use naked ocfs2_write_block() calls instead of adding the
blocks to the journal.  We make sure to calculate their checksum and ecc
before the write.

Since we pass around the journal_access functions.  Let's typedef them
in ocfs2.h.

d6b32bbb3e ocfs2: block read meta ecc.
Add block check calls to the read_block validate functions.  This is the
almost all of the read-side checking of metaecc.  xattr buckets are not checked
yet.   Writes are also unchecked, and so a read-write mount will quickly fail.

970e4936d7 ocfs2: Validate metadata only when it's read from disk.
Add an optional validation hook to ocfs2_read_blocks().  Now the
validation function is only called when a block was actually read off of
disk.  It is not called when the buffer was in cache.

We add a buffer state bit BH_NeedsValidate to flag these buffers.  It
must always be one higher than the last JBD2 buffer state bit.

The dinode, dirblock, extent_block, and xattr_block validators are
lifted to this scheme directly.  The group_descriptor validator needs to
be split into two pieces.  The first part only needs the gd buffer and
is passed to ocfs2_read_block().  The second part requires the dinode as
well, and is called every time.  It's only 3 compares, so it's tiny.
This also allows us to clean up the non-fatal gd check used by resize.c.
It now has no magic argument.

b657c95c11 ocfs2: Wrap inode block reads in a dedicated function.
The ocfs2 code currently reads inodes off disk with a simple
ocfs2_read_block() call.  Each place that does this has a different set
of sanity checks it performs.  Some check only the signature.  A couple
validate the block number (the block read vs di->i_blkno).  A couple
others check for VALID_FL.  Only one place validates i_fs_generation.  A
couple check nothing.  Even when an error is found, they don't all do
the same thing.

We wrap inode reading into ocfs2_read_inode_block().  This will validate
all the above fields, going readonly if they are invalid (they never
should be).  ocfs2_read_inode_block_full() is provided for the places
that want to pass read_block flags.  Every caller is passing a struct
inode with a valid ip_blkno, so we don't need a separate blkno argument
either.

We will remove the validation checks from the rest of the code in a
later commit, as they are no longer necessary.

2b4e30fbde ocfs2: Switch over to JBD2.
ocfs2 wants JBD2 for many reasons, not the least of which is that JBD is
limiting our maximum filesystem size.

It's a pretty trivial change.  Most functions are just renamed.  The
only functional change is moving to Jan's inode-based ordered data mode.
It's better, too.

Because JBD2 reads and writes JBD journals, this is compatible with any
existing filesystem.  It can even interact with JBD-based ocfs2 as long
as the journal is formated for JBD.

We provide a compatibility option so that paranoid people can still use
JBD for the time being.  This will go away shortly.

53da4939f3 ocfs2: POSIX file locks support
This is actually pretty easy since fs/dlm already handles the bulk of the
work. The Ocfs2 userspace cluster stack module already uses fs/dlm as the
underlying lock manager, so I only had to add the right calls.

Cluster-aware POSIX locks ("plocks") can be turned off by the same means at
UNIX locks - mount with 'noflocks', or create a local-only Ocfs2 volume.
Internally, the file system uses two sets of file_operations, depending on
whether cluster aware plocks is required. This turns out to be easier than
implementing local-only versions of ->lock.

c934a92d05 ocfs2: Remove data locks
The meta lock now covers both meta data and data, so this just removes the
now-redundant data lock.

Combining locks saves us a round of lock mastery per inode and one less lock
to ping between nodes during read/write.

We don't lose much - since meta locks were always held before a data lock
(and at the same level) ordered writeout mode (the default) ensured that
flushing for the meta data lock also pushed out data anyways.

1afc32b952 ocfs2: Write support for inline data
This fixes up write, truncate, mmap, and RESVSP/UNRESVP to understand inline
inode data.

For the most part, the changes to the core write code can be relied on to do
the heavy lifting. Any code calling ocfs2_write_begin (including shared
writeable mmap) can count on it doing the right thing with respect to
growing inline data to an extent tree.

Size reducing truncates, including UNRESVP can simply zero that portion of
the inode block being removed. Size increasing truncatesm, including RESVP
have to be a little bit smarter and grow the inode to an extent tree if
necessary.

8341897882 ocfs2: Cache extent records
The extent map code was ripped out earlier because of an inability to deal
with holes. This patch adds back a simpler caching scheme requiring far less
code.

Our old extent map caching was designed back when meta data block caching in
Ocfs2 didn't work very well, resulting in many disk reads. These days our
metadata caching is much better, resulting in no un-necessary disk reads. As
a result, extent caching doesn't have to be as fancy, nor does it have to
cache as many extents. Keeping the last 3 extents seen should be sufficient
to give us a small performance boost on some streaming workloads.

24c19ef404 ocfs2: Remove i_generation from inode lock names
OCFS2 puts inode meta data in the "lock value block" provided by the DLM.
Typically, i_generation is encoded in the lock name so that a deleted inode
on and a new one in the same block don't share the same lvb.

Unfortunately, that scheme means that the read in ocfs2_read_locked_inode()
is potentially thrown away as soon as the meta data lock is taken - we
cannot encode the lock name without first knowing i_generation, which
requires a disk read.

This patch encodes i_generation in the inode meta data lvb, and removes the
value from the inode meta data lock name. This way, the read can be covered
by a lock, and at the same time we can distinguish between an up to date and
a stale LVB.

This will help cold-cache stat(2) performance in particular.

Since this patch changes the protocol version, we take the opportunity to do
a minor re-organization of two of the LVB fields.

Actually replace the vote calls with the new dentry operations. Make any
necessary adjustments to get the scheme to work.
