2008-04-18ocfs2: Only build ocfs2/dlm with the o2cb stack moduleMark Fasheh
fs/ocfs2/dlm/ocfs2_dlm.ko and fs/ocfs2/dlm/ocfs2_dlmfs.ko get built if CONFIG_FS_OCFS2 is specified. This isn't quite how it should happen any more - the "o2cb" dlm modules should only be built if CONFIG_FS_OCFS2_O2CB is set, so update the dlm Makefile accordingly.

2008-04-18ocfs2/dlm: Cleanup lockres printSunil Mushran
A previous patch added KERN_NOTICE to printks printing the lockres that cluttered the output. This patch removes the log level.

2008-03-10ocfs2/dlm: Add missing dlm_lockres_put()s in migration pathSunil Mushran
During migration, the recovery master node may be asked to master a lockres it may not know about. In that case, it would not only have to create a lockres and add it to the hash, but also remember to to do the _put_ corresponding to the kref_init in dlm_init_lockres(), as soon as the migration is completed. Yes, we don't wait for the dlm_purge_lockres() to do that matching put. Note the ref added for it being in the hash protects the lockres from being freed prematurely. This patch adds that missing put, as described above, to plug a memleak.

2008-03-10ocfs2/dlm: Add missing dlm_lock_put()sSunil Mushran
Normally locks for remote nodes are freed when that node sends an UNLOCK message to the master. The master node tags an DLM_UNLOCK_FREE_LOCK action to do an extra put on the lock at the end. However, there are times when the master node has to free the locks for the remote nodes forcibly. Two cases when this happens are: 1. When the master has migrated the lockres plus all locks to another node. 2. When the master is clearing all the locks of a dead node. It was in the above two conditions that the dlm was missing the extra put.

2008-03-10ocfs2: Fix endian bug in o2dlm protocol negotiation.Joel Becker
struct dlm_query_join_packet is made up of four one-byte fields. They are effectively in big-endian order already. However, little-endian machines swap them before putting the packet on the wire (because query_join's response is a status, and that status is treated as a u32 on the wire). Thus, a big-endian and little-endian machines will treat this structure differently. The solution is to have little-endian machines swap the structure when converting from the structure to the u32 representation.

2008-02-06ocfs2: Negotiate locking protocol versions.Joel Becker
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.

2008-01-25ocfs2/dlm: Clear joining_node on hearbeat node downTao Ma
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: Tao Ma <tao.ma@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

2007-05-07slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.
