Pull GFS2 updates from Andreas Gruenbacher:
 "Bob's extensive filesystem withdrawal and recovery testing:
   - don't write log headers after file system withdraw
   - clean up iopen glock mess in gfs2_create_inode
   - close timing window with GLF_INVALIDATE_IN_PROGRESS
   - abort gfs2_freeze if io error is seen
   - don't loop forever in gfs2_freeze if withdrawn
   - fix infinite loop in gfs2_ail1_flush on io error
   - introduce function gfs2_withdrawn
   - fix glock reference problem in gfs2_trans_remove_revoke

  Filesystems with a block size smaller than the page size:
   - fix end-of-file handling in gfs2_page_mkwrite
   - improve mmap write vs. punch_hole consistency

  Other:
   - remove active journal side effect from gfs2_write_log_header
   - multi-block allocations in gfs2_page_mkwrite

  Minor cleanups and coding style fixes:
   - remove duplicate call from gfs2_create_inode
   - make gfs2_log_shutdown static
   - make gfs2_fs_parameters static
   - some whitespace cleanups
   - removed unnecessary semicolon"

Pull removal of most of fs/compat_ioctl.c from Arnd Bergmann:
 "As part of the cleanup of some remaining y2038 issues, I came to
  fs/compat_ioctl.c, which still has a couple of commands that need
  support for time64_t.

  In completely unrelated work, I spent time on cleaning up parts of
  this file in the past, moving things out into drivers instead.

  After Al Viro reviewed an earlier version of this series and did a lot
  more of that cleanup, I decided to try to completely eliminate the
  rest of it and move it all into drivers.

  This series incorporates some of Al's work and many patches of my own,
  but in the end stops short of actually removing the last part, which
  is the scsi ioctl handlers. I have patches for those as well, but they
  need more testing or possibly a rewrite"

Pull iomap updates from Darrick Wong:
 "In this release, we hoisted as much of XFS' writeback code into iomap
  as was practicable, refactored the unshare file data function, added
  the ability to perform buffered io copy on write, and tweaked various
  parts of the directio implementation as needed to port ext4's directio
  code (that will be a separate pull).

  Summary:

   - Make iomap_dio_rw callers explicitly tell us if they want us to
     wait

   - Port the xfs writeback code to iomap to complete the buffered io
     library functions

   - Refactor the unshare code to share common pieces

   - Add support for performing copy on write with buffered writes

   - Other minor fixes

   - Fix unchecked return in iomap_bmap

   - Fix a type casting bug in a ternary statement in
     iomap_dio_bio_actor

   - Improve tracepoints for easier diagnostic ability

   - Fix pipe page leakage in directio reads"

Before this patch, when a node withdrew a gfs2 file system, it
wrote a (clean) unmount log header. That's wrong. You don't want
to write anything to the journal once you're withdrawn because
that's acknowledging that the transaction is complete and the
journal is in good shape, neither of which may be a valid
assumption when the file system is withdrawn. This is especially
true if the withdraw was caused due to io errors writing to the
journal in the first place. The best course of action is to leave
the journal "as is" until it may be safely replayed during
journal recovery, regardless of whether it's done by this node or
another.

<title>gfs2: clean up iopen glock mess in gfs2_create_inode</title>

<id>2c47c1be51fbded1f7baa2ceaed90f97932f79be</id>
<content type='text'>
Before this patch, gfs2_create_inode had a use-after-free for the
iopen glock in some error paths because it did this:

	gfs2_glock_put(io_gl);
fail_gunlock2:
	if (io_gl)
		clear_bit(GLF_INODE_CREATING, &amp;io_gl-&gt;gl_flags);

In some cases, the io_gl was used for create and only had one
reference, so the glock might be freed before the clear_bit().
This patch tries to straighten it out by only jumping to the
error paths where iopen is properly set, and moving the
gfs2_glock_put after the clear_bit.

<title>gfs2: Close timing window with GLF_INVALIDATE_IN_PROGRESS</title>

<id>d99724c3c36ae73ed3908f5e3f2d103a48cd9ad0</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch closes a timing window in which two processes compete
and overlap in the execution of do_xmote for the same glock:

             Process A                              Process B
   ------------------------------------   -----------------------------
1. Grabs gl_lockref and calls do_xmote
2.                                        Grabs gl_lockref but is blocked
3. Sets GLF_INVALIDATE_IN_PROGRESS
4. Unlocks gl_lockref
5.                                        Calls do_xmote
6. Call glops-&gt;go_sync
7. test_and_clear_bit GLF_DIRTY
8. Call gfs2_log_flush                    Call glops-&gt;go_sync
9. (slow IO, so it blocks a long time)    test_and_clear_bit GLF_DIRTY
                                          It's not dirty (step 7) returns
10.                                       Tests GLF_INVALIDATE_IN_PROGRESS
11.                                       Calls go_inval (rgrp_go_inval)
12.                                       gfs2_rgrp_relse does brelse
13.                                       truncate_inode_pages_range
14.                                       Calls lm_lock UN

In step 14 we've just told dlm to give the glock to another node
when, in fact, process A has not finished the IO and synced all
buffer_heads to disk and make sure their revokes are done.

This patch fixes the problem by changing the GLF_INVALIDATE_IN_PROGRESS
to use test_and_set_bit, and if the bit is already set, process B just
ignores it and trusts that process A will do the do_xmote in the proper
order.

3. Sets GLF_INVALIDATE_IN_PROGRESS
4. Unlocks gl_lockref
5.                                        Calls do_xmote
6. Call glops-&gt;go_sync
7. test_and_clear_bit GLF_DIRTY
8. Call gfs2_log_flush                    Call glops-&gt;go_sync
9. (slow IO, so it blocks a long time)    test_and_clear_bit GLF_DIRTY
                                          It's not dirty (step 7) returns
10.                                       Tests GLF_INVALIDATE_IN_PROGRESS
11.                                       Calls go_inval (rgrp_go_inval)
12.                                       gfs2_rgrp_relse does brelse
13.                                       truncate_inode_pages_range
14.                                       Calls lm_lock UN

In step 14 we've just told dlm to give the glock to another node
when, in fact, process A has not finished the IO and synced all
buffer_heads to disk and make sure their revokes are done.

This patch fixes the problem by changing the GLF_INVALIDATE_IN_PROGRESS
to use test_and_set_bit, and if the bit is already set, process B just
ignores it and trusts that process A will do the do_xmote in the proper
order.

<title>gfs2: Abort gfs2_freeze if io error is seen</title>

Before this patch, an io error, such as -EIO writing to the journal
would cause function gfs2_freeze to go into an infinite loop,
continuously retrying the freeze operation. But nothing ever clears
the -EIO except unmount after withdraw, which is impossible if the
freeze operation never ends (fails). Instead you get:

[ 6499.767994] gfs2: fsid=dm-32.0: error freezing FS: -5
[ 6499.773058] gfs2: fsid=dm-32.0: retrying...
[ 6500.791957] gfs2: fsid=dm-32.0: error freezing FS: -5
[ 6500.797015] gfs2: fsid=dm-32.0: retrying...

This patch adds a check for -EIO in gfs2_freeze, and if seen, it
dequeues the freeze glock, aborts the loop and returns the error.
Also, there's no need to pass the freeze holder to function
gfs2_lock_fs_check_clean since it's only called in one place and
it's a well-known superblock pointer, so this simplifies that.

<title>gfs2: Don't loop forever in gfs2_freeze if withdrawn</title>

Before this patch, function gfs2_freeze would loop forever if the
filesystem it tries to freeze is withdrawn. That's because function
gfs2_lock_fs_check_clean tries to enqueue the glock of the journal and
the gfs2_glock returns -EIO because you can't enqueue a journaled glock
after a withdraw.

Move the check for file system withdraw inside the loop so that the loop
can end when withdraw occurs.

<title>gfs2: fix infinite loop in gfs2_ail1_flush on io error</title>

Before this patch, an IO error encountered in function gfs2_ail1_flush
would cause a deadlock: because of the io error (and its resulting
withdrawn state), buffers stopped being written to the journal.
Buffers would remain on the ail1 list, so gfs2_ail1_start_one would
return 1 to indicate dirty buffers were still on the ail1 list.
However, when function gfs2_ail1_flush got a non-zero return code,
it would goto restart to retry the writes, which meant it would never
finish, and thus the infinite loop.
