This cleans up the mode setting code when creating inodes. The
SGID bit was being reset by setattr_copy() when the user creating a
subdirectory was not in the owning group. When ACLs are in use this
SGID bit should have been propagated if the ACL allows creation of
a subdirectory. GFS2's behaviour now matches that of the other ACL
supporting filesystems in this regard.

This is another clean up in the logging code. This per-transaction
list was largely unused. Its main function was to ensure that the
number of buffers in a transaction was correct, however that counter
was only used to check the number of buffers in the bd_list_tr, plus
an assert at the end of each transaction. With the assert now changed
to use the calculated buffer counts, we can remove both bd_list_tr and
its associated counter.

This should make the code easier to understand as well as shrinking
a couple of structures.

The main part of this patch merges the two functions used to
write metadata and data buffers to the log. Most of the code
is common between the two functions, so this provides a nice
clean up, and makes the code more readable.

The gfs2_get_log_desc() function is also extended to take two more
arguments, and thus avoid having to set the length and data1
fields of this strucuture as a separate operation.

Prior to this patch, we have two ways of sending i/o to the log.
One of those is used when we need to allocate both the data
to be written itself and also a buffer head to submit it. This
is done via sb_getblk and friends. This is used mostly for writing
log headers.

The other method is used when writing blocks which have some
in-place counterpart. This is the case for all the metadata
blocks which are journalled, and when journaled data is in use,
for unescaped journalled data blocks.

This patch replaces both of those two methods, and about half
a dozen separate i/o submission points with a single i/o
submission function. We also go direct to bio rather than
using buffer heads, since this allows us to build i/o
requests of the maximum size for the block device in
question. It also reduces the memory required for flushing
the log, which can be very useful in low memory situations.

In the resource group code, we have no less than three different
kinds of block references: block relative to the file system (u64),
block relative to the rgrp (u32), and block relative to the bitmap.
This is a small step to making the code more readable; it renames
variable blk to biblk to solidify in my mind that it's relative to
the bitmap and nothing else.

This patch instructs DLM to prevent an "in place" conversion, where the
lock just stays on the granted queue, and instead forces the conversion to
the back of the convert queue. This is done on upward conversions only.
    
This is useful in cases where, for example, a lock is frequently needed in
PR on one node, but another node needs it temporarily in EX to update it.
This may happen, for example, when the rindex is being updated by gfs2_grow.
The gfs2_grow needs to have the lock in EX, but the other nodes need to
re-read it to retrieve the updates. The glock is already granted in PR on
the non-growing nodes, so this prevents them from continually re-granting
the lock in PR, and forces the EX from gfs2_grow to go through.

Mel reports a BUG_ON(slot == NULL) in radix_tree_tag_set() on s390
3.0.13: called from __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() when page_remove_rmap()
tries to transfer dirty flag from s390 storage key to struct page and
radix_tree.

That would be because of reclaim's shrink_page_list() calling
add_to_swap() on this page at the same time: first PageSwapCache is set
(causing page_mapping(page) to appear as &swapper_space), then
page->private set, then tree_lock taken, then page inserted into
radix_tree - so there's an interval before taking the lock when the
radix_tree slot is empty.

We could fix this by moving __add_to_swap_cache()'s spin_lock_irq up
before the SetPageSwapCache.  But a better fix is simply to do what's
five years overdue: Ken Chen introduced __set_page_dirty_no_writeback()
(if !PageDirty TestSetPageDirty) for tmpfs to skip all the radix_tree
overhead, and swap is just the same - it ignores the radix_tree tag, and
does not participate in dirty page accounting, so should be using
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback() too.

s390 testing now confirms that this does indeed fix the problem.

commit c744a65c


  md: don't set md arrays to readonly on shutdown.

removed the possibility of a 'BUG' when data is written to an array
that has just been switched to read-only, but also introduced the
possibility that the array metadata could be corrupted.

If, when md_notify_reboot gets the mddev lock, the array is
in a state where it is assembled but hasn't been started (as can
happen if the personality module is not available, or in other unusual
situations), then incorrect metadata will be written out making it
impossible to re-assemble the array.

So only call __md_stop_writes() if the array has actually been
activated.

This patch is needed for any stable kernel which has had the above
commit applied.

Commit 7bfec5f3



   md/raid5: If there is a spare and a want_replacement device, start replacement.

cause md_check_recovery to call ->add_disk much more often.
Instead of only when the array is degraded, it is now called whenever
md_check_recovery finds anything useful to do, which includes
updating the metadata for clean<->dirty transition.
This causes unnecessary work, and causes info messages from ->add_disk
to be reported much too often.

So refine md_check_recovery to only do any actual recovery checking
(including ->add_disk) if MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED is set.

This fix is suitable for 3.3.y:
