* 'for-2.6.25' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block:
block: implement drain buffers
__bio_clone: don't calculate hw/phys segment counts
block: allow queue dma_alignment of zero
blktrace: Add blktrace ioctls to SCSI generic devices

Currently you must be root to set idle io prio class on a process. This
is due to the fact that the idle class is implemented as a true idle
class, meaning that it will not make progress if someone else is
requesting disk access. Unfortunately this means that it opens DOS
opportunities by locking down file system resources, hence it is root
only at the moment.
This patch relaxes the idle class a little, by removing the truly idle
part (which entals a grace period with associated timer). The
modifications make the idle class as close to zero impact as can be done
while still guarenteeing progress. This means we can relax the root only
criteria as well.

If the users sets a new ->bi_bdev on the bio after __bio_clone() has
returned it, the "segment counts valid" flag still remains even though
it may be different with the new target. So don't calculate segment
counts in __bio_clone().

If we know a buffer_head is non-null, then brelse() is unnecessary and
put_bh() can be used instead. Also, an explicit check for NULL is
unnecessary when using brelse(). This patch only covers buffer_head_io.c and
resize.c, which have recently added code which exhibits this problem.

Currently the process of dlm join contains 2 steps: query join and assert join.
After query join, the joined node will set its joining_node. So if the joining
node happens to panic before the 2nd step, the joined node will fail to clear
its joining_node flag because that node isn't in the domain map. It at least
cause 2 problems.
1. All the new join request will fail. So no new node can mount the volume.
2. The joined node can't umount the volume since during the umount process it
has to wait for the joining_node to be unknown. So the umount will be hanged.
The solution is to clear the joining_node before we check the domain map.

Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

This adds a new dlmglue lock type which is intended to back flock()
requests.
Since these locks are driven from userspace, usage rules are much more
liberal than the typical Ocfs2 internal cluster lock. As a result, we can't
make use of most dlmglue features - lock caching and lock level
optimizations in particular. Additionally, userspace is free to deadlock
itself, so we have to deal with that in the same way as the rest of the
kernel - by allowing a signal to abort a lock request.
In order to keep ocfs2_cluster_lock() complexity down, ocfs2_file_lock()
does it's own dlm coordination. We still use the same helper functions
though, so duplicated code is kept to a minimum.

Local alloc is a performance optimization in ocfs2 in which a node
takes a window of bits from the global bitmap and then uses that for
all small local allocations. This window size is fixed to 8MB currently.
This patch allows users to specify the window size in MB including
disabling it by passing in 0. If the number specified is too large,
the fs will use the default value of 8MB.

Mostly taken from ext3. This allows the user to set the jbd commit interval,

This patch adds the ability for a userspace program to request that a
properly formatted cluster group be added to the main allocation bitmap for
an Ocfs2 file system. The request is made via an ioctl, OCFS2_IOC_GROUP_ADD.
On a high level, this is similar to ext3, but we use a different ioctl as
the structure which has to be passed through is different.
During an online resize, tunefs.ocfs2 will format any new cluster groups
which must be added to complete the resize, and call OCFS2_IOC_GROUP_ADD on
each one. Kernel verifies that the core cluster group information is valid
and then does the work of linking it into the global allocation bitmap.

This patch adds the ability for a userspace program to request an extend of
last cluster group on an Ocfs2 file system. The request is made via ioctl,
OCFS2_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND. This is derived from EXT3_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND, but is
obviously Ocfs2 specific.
tunefs.ocfs2 would call this for an online-resize operation if the last
cluster group isn't full.

This value is initialized from global_bitmap->id2.i_chain.cl_cpg. If there
is only 1 group, it will be equal to the total clusters in the volume. So
as for online resize, it should change for all the nodes in the cluster.
It isn't easy and there is no corresponding lock for it.
bitmap_cpg is only used in 2 areas:
1. Check whether the suballoc is too large for us to allocate from the global
bitmap, so it is little used. And now the suballoc size is 2048, it rarely
meet this situation and the check is almost useless.
2. Calculate which group a cluster belongs to. We use it during truncate to
figure out which cluster group an extent belongs too. But we should be OK
if we increase it though as the cluster group calculated shouldn't change
and we only ever have a small bitmap_cpg on file systems with a single
cluster group.

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.

This patch implements a new version of RCU which allows its read-side
critical sections to be preempted. It uses a set of counter pairs
to keep track of the read-side critical sections and flips them
when all tasks exit read-side critical section. The details
of this implementation can be found in this paper -
http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/OLSrtRCU.2006.08.11a.pdf
and the article-
http://lwn.net/Articles/253651/
This patch was developed as a part of the -rt kernel development and
meant to provide better latencies when read-side critical sections of
RCU don't disable preemption. As a consequence of keeping track of RCU
readers, the readers have a slight overhead (optimizations in the paper).
This implementation co-exists with the "classic" RCU implementations
and can be switched to at compiler.
Also includes RCU tracing summarized in debugfs.

This patch allows gfs2 to perform journal recovery even if it is mounted
read-only. Strictly speaking, a read-only mount should not be writing to
the filesystem, but we do this only to perform journal recovery. A
read-only mount will fail if we don't recover the dirty journal. Also,
when gfs2 is used as a root filesystem, it will be mounted read-only
before being mounted read-write during the boot sequence. A failed
read-only mount will panic the machine during bootup.

There was a bug in the truncation/invalidation race path for
->page_mkwrite for gfs2. It ought to return 0 so that the effect is the
same as if the page was truncated at any of the other points at which
the page_lock is dropped. This will result in the restart of the whole
page fault path. If it was due to a real truncation (as opposed to an
invalidate because we let a glock go) then the ->fault path will pick
that up when it gets called again.

This is a small I/O performance enhancement to gfs2. (Actually, it is a rework of
an earlier version I got wrong). The idea here is to check if the write extends
past the last block in the file. If so, the function can save itself a lot of
time and trouble because it knows an allocate will be required. Benchmarks like
iozone should see better performance.
