Commit 0f475b2abed6cbccee1da20a0bef2895eb2a0edd (ocfs2/net: Silence build
warnings) made sense as far as it fixed compile warnings, but it was not
required that it made the functions global.

The configfs operations ->make_item() and ->make_group() currently
return a new item/group. A return of NULL signifies an error. Because
of this, -ENOMEM is the only return code bubbled up the stack.
Multiple folks have requested the ability to return specific error codes
when these operations fail. This patch adds that ability by changing the
->make_item/group() ops to return ERR_PTR() values. These errors are
bubbled up appropriately. NULL returns are changed to -ENOMEM for
compatibility.
Also updated are the in-kernel users of configfs.
This is a rework of reverted commit 11c3b79218390a139f2d474ee1e983a672d5839a.

Commit 52f7c21b613f80cb425d115c9e5b4ed958a133c0 was intended to move
/sys/o2cb to /sys/fs/o2cb, providing /sys/o2cb as a symlink for
backwards compatibility. However, the merge apparently added the
symlink but failed to move the directory, resulting in a duplicate
filename error. It's a one-line change that was missing.

This patch exposes o2net information via debugfs. The information includes
the list of sockets (sock_containers) as well as the list of outstanding
messages (send_tracking). Useful for o2dlm debugging.
(This patch is derived from an earlier one written by Zach Brown that
exposed the same information via /proc.)

We keep seeing bug reports related to NULL pointer derefs in
o2net_set_nn_state(). When I originally wrote up the configurable timeout
patch, I had tried to plan for multiple clusters. This was silly.
The timeout routines all use o2nm_single_cluster so there's no point in
passing an argument at all. This patch removes the arguments and kills those
bugs dead.

/sys/fs is where we really want file system specific sysfs objects.
Ocfs2-tools has been updated to look in /sys/fs/o2cb. We can maintain
backwards compatibility with old ocfs2-tools by using a sysfs symlink. After
some time (2 years), the symlink can be safely removed. This patch also adds
documentation to make it easier for people to figure out what /sys/fs/o2cb
is used for.

Currently, o2net connects to a node on hb_up and disconnects on
hb_down and net timeout.
It disconnects on net timeout is ok, but it should attempt to
reconnect back. This is because sometimes nodes get overloaded
enough that the network connection breaks but the disk hb does not.
And if we get into that situation, we either fence (unnecessarily)
or wait for its disk hb to die (and sometimes hang in the process).
So in this updated scheme, when the network disconnects, we keep
attempting to reconnect till we succeed or we get a disk hb down
event.
If the other node is really dead, then we will eventually get a
node down event. If not, we should be able to connect again and
continue.

valid = 0. If sc = NULL, we can't dereference it to get the o2nm_node

calling o2net_reconnect_delay and o2net_idle_timeout.

This patchset moves le*_add_cpu and be*_add_cpu functions from OCFS2 to core
header (1st), converts ext3 filesystem to this API (2nd) and replaces XFS
different named functions with new ones (3rd).
There are many places where these functions will be useful. Just look at:
grep -r 'cpu_to_[ble12346]*([ble12346]*_to_cpu.*[-+]' linux-src/ Patch for
ext3 is an example how conversions will probably look like.
This patch:
- move inline functions which add native byte order variable to
little/big endian variable to core header
* le16_add_cpu(__le16 *var, u16 val)
* le32_add_cpu(__le32 *var, u32 val)
* le64_add_cpu(__le64 *var, u64 val)
* be32_add_cpu(__be32 *var, u32 val)
- add for completeness:
* be16_add_cpu(__be16 *var, u16 val)
* be64_add_cpu(__be64 *var, u64 val)

Currently, when ocfs2 nodes connect via TCP, they advertise their
compatibility level. If the versions do not match, two nodes cannot speak
to each other and they disconnect. As a result, this provides no forward or
backwards compatibility.
This patch implements a simple protocol negotiation at the dlm level by
introducing a major/minor version number scheme for entities that
communicate. Specifically, o2dlm has a major/minor version for interaction
with o2dlm on other nodes, and ocfs2 itself has a major/minor version for
interacting with the filesystem on other nodes.
This will allow rolling upgrades of ocfs2 clusters when changes to the
locking or network protocols can be done in a backwards compatible manner.
In those cases, only the minor number is changed and the negotatied protocol
minor is returned from dlm join. In the far less likely event that a
required protocol change makes backwards compatibility impossible, we simply
bump the major number.

The userspace ABI of ocfs2's internal cluster stack (o2cb) was broken by
commit c60b71787982cefcf9fa09aa281fa8c4c685d557 "kset: convert ocfs2 to
use kset_create". Specifically, the '/sys/o2cb' kset was moved to
'/sys/fs/o2cb'. This breaks all ocfs2 tools and renders the
filesystem unmountable.
This fix moves '/sys/o2cb' back where it belongs.

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.

sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.
This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.
For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the

an inode during delete. This patch removes that mechanism in favor of an
inode cluster lock which is taken at shared read when an inode is first read

liveness of an inode by attempting to take an exclusive lock.

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.
I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.
So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.
