Commit 7fe2b3190b8b299409f13cf3a6f85c2bd371f8bb fixed possible
misordering of completion asts (casts) and blocking asts (basts)
for kernel locks.  This patch does the same for locks taken by
user space applications.

<title>include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h</title>

<id>5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05</id>

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -&gt; slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

<title>dlm: fix ordering of bast and cast</title>

When both blocking and completion callbacks are queued for lock,
the dlm would always deliver the completion callback (cast) first.
In some cases the blocking callback (bast) is queued before the
cast, though, and should be delivered first.  This patch keeps
track of the order in which they were queued and delivers them
in that order.

This patch also keeps track of the granted mode in the last cast
and eliminates the following bast if the bast mode is compatible
with the preceding cast mode.  This happens when a remotely mastered
lock is demoted, e.g. EX-&gt;NL, in which case the local node queues
a cast immediately after sending the demote message.  In this way
a cast can be queued for a mode, e.g. NL, that makes an in-transit
bast extraneous.

<title>dlm: always use GFP_NOFS</title>

Replace all GFP_KERNEL and ls_allocation with GFP_NOFS.
ls_allocation would be GFP_KERNEL for userland lockspaces
and GFP_NOFS for file system lockspaces.

It was discovered that any lockspaces on the system can
affect all others by triggering memory reclaim in the
file system which could in turn call back into the dlm
to acquire locks, deadlocking dlm threads that were
shared by all lockspaces, like dlm_recv.

<title>dlm: fix length calculation in compat code</title>

Using offsetof() to calculate name length does not work because
it does not produce consistent results with with structure packing.
This caused memcpy to corrupt memory by copying 4 extra bytes off
the end of the buffer on 64 bit kernels with 32 bit userspace
(the only case where this 32/64 compat code is used).

The fix is to calculate name length directly from the start instead
of trying to derive it later using count and offsetof.

The lkb bastmode value is set in the context of processing the
lock, and read by the dlm_astd thread.  Because it's accessed
in these two separate contexts, the writing/reading ought to
be done under a lock.  This is simple to do by setting it and
reading it when the lkb is added to and removed from dlm_astd's
callback list which is properly locked.

If dlm_controld (the userspace daemon that controls the setup and
recovery of the dlm) fails, the kernel should shut down the lockspaces
in the kernel rather than leaving them running.  This is detected by
having dlm_controld hold a misc device open while running, and if
the kernel detects a close while the daemon is still needed, it stops
the lockspaces in the kernel.

Knowing that the userspace daemon isn't running also allows the
lockspace create/remove routines to avoid waiting on the daemon
for join/leave operations.
