Add support for an additional filesystem version (sb_fs_format = 1802).
When a filesystem with the new version is mounted, the filesystem
supports "trusted.*" xattrs.
In addition, version 1802 filesystems implement a form of forward
compatibility for xattrs: when xattrs with an unknown prefix (ea_type)
are found on a version 1802 filesystem, those attributes are not shown
by listxattr, and they are not accessible by getxattr, setxattr, or
removexattr.
This mechanism might turn out to be what we need in the future, but if
not, we can always bump the filesystem version and break compatibility
instead.

When deleting an inode, keep track of the generation of the deleted inode in
the inode glock Lock Value Block (LVB). When trying to delete an inode
remotely, check the last-known inode generation against the deleted inode
generation to skip duplicate remote deletes. This avoids taking the resource
group glock in order to verify the block type.

This patch just adds the capability for GFS2 to track which function
called gfs2_log_flush. This should make it easier to diagnose

This patch adds a new structure called gfs2_log_header_v2 which is used
to store expanded fields into previously unused areas of the log headers
(i.e., this change is backwards compatible). Some of these are used for
debug purposes so we can backtrack when problems occur. Others are
reserved for future expansion.
This patch is based on a prototype from Steve Whitehouse.

Add the rg_crc field to store a crc32 of the gfs2_rgrp structure. This
allows us to check resource group headers' integrity and removes the
requirement to check them against the rindex entries in fsck. If this
field is found to be zero, it should be ignored (or updated with an
accurate value).

Add rg_data0, rg_data and rg_bitbytes to struct gfs2_rgrp. The fields
are identical to their counterparts in struct gfs2_rindex and are
intended to reduce the use of the rindex. For now the fields are only
written back as the in-memory equivalents in struct gfs2_rgrpd are set
using values from the rindex. However, they are needed at this point so
that userspace can make use of them, allowing a migration away from the
rindex over time.
The new fields take up previously reserved space which was explicitly
zeroed on write so, in clusters with mixed kernels, these fields could
get zeroed after being set and this should not be treated as an error.

Add a new rg_skip field to struct gfs2_rgrp, replacing __pad. The
rg_skip field has the following meaning:
- If rg_skip is zero, it is considered unset and not useful.
- If rg_skip is non-zero, its value will be the number of blocks between
this rgrp's address and the next rgrp's address. This can be used as a
hint by fsck.gfs2 when rebuilding a bad rindex, for example.
This will provide less dependency on the rindex in future, and allow
tools such as fsck.gfs2 to iterate the resource groups without keeping
the rindex around.
The field is updated in gfs2_rgrp_out() so that existing file systems
will have it set. This means that any resource groups that aren't ever
written will not be updated. The final rgrp is a special case as there
is no next rgrp, so it will always have a rg_skip of 0 (unless the fs is
extended).
Before this patch, gfs2_rgrp_out() zeroes the __pad field explicitly, so
the rg_skip field can get set back to 0 in cases where nodes with and
without this patch are mixed in a cluster. In some cases, the field may
bounce between being set by one node and then zeroed by another which
may harm performance slightly, e.g. when two nodes create many small
files. In testing this situation is rare but it becomes more likely as
the filesystem fills up and there are fewer resource groups to choose
from. The problem goes away when all nodes are running with this patch.
Dipping into the space currently occupied by the rg_reserved field would
have resulted in the same problem as it is also explicitly zeroed, so
unfortunately there is no other way around it.

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.
Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.
GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.
Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format
is:
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)
SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

gfs2 currently returns 31 bits of filename hash as a cookie that readdir
uses for an offset into the directory. When there are a large number of
directory entries, the likelihood of a collision goes up way too
quickly. GFS2 will now return cookies that are guaranteed unique for a
while, and then fail back to using 30 bits of filename hash.
Specifically, the directory leaf blocks are divided up into chunks based
on the minimum size of a gfs2 directory entry (48 bytes). Each entry's
cookie is based off the chunk where it starts, in the linked list of
leaf blocks that it hashes to (there are 131072 hash buckets). Directory
entries will have unique names until they take reach chunk 8192.
Assuming the largest filenames possible, and the least efficient spacing
possible, this new method will still be able to return unique names when
the previous method has statistically more than a 99% chance of a
collision. The non-unique names it fails back to are guaranteed to not
collide with the unique names.
unique cookies will be in this format:
- 1 bit "0" to make sure the the returned cookie is positive
- 17 bits for the hash table index
- 1 bit for the mode "0"
- 13 bits for the offset
non-unique cookies will be in this format:
- 1 bit "0" to make sure the the returned cookie is positive
- 17 bits for the hash table index
- 1 bit for the mode "1"
- 13 more bits of the name hash
Another benefit of location based cookies, is that once a directory's
exhash table is fully extended (so that multiple hash table indexs do
not use the same leaf blocks), gfs2 can skip sorting the directory
entries until it reaches the non-unique ones, and then it only needs to
sort these. This provides a significant speed up for directory reads of
very large directories.
The only issue is that for these cookies to continue to point to the
correct entry as files are added and removed from the directory, gfs2
must keep the entries at the same offset in the leaf block when they are
split (see my previous patch). This means that until all the nodes in a
cluster are running with code that will split the directory leaf blocks
this way, none of the nodes can use the new cookie code. To deal with
this, gfs2 now has the mount option loccookie, which, if set, will make
it return these new location based cookies. This option must not be set
until all nodes in the cluster are at least running this version of the
kernel code, and you have guaranteed that there are no outstanding
cookies required by other software, such as NFS.
gfs2 uses some of the extra space at the end of the gfs2_dirent
structure to store the calculated readdir cookies. This keeps us from
needing to allocate a seperate array to hold these values. gfs2
recomputes the cookie stored in de_cookie for every readdir call. The
time it takes to do so is small, and if gfs2 expected this value to be
saved on disk, the new code wouldn't work correctly on filesystems
created with an earlier version of gfs2.
One issue with adding de_cookie to the union in the gfs2_dirent
structure is that it caused the union to align itself to a 4 byte
boundary, instead of its previous 2 byte boundary. This changed the
offset of de_rahead. To solve that, I pulled de_rahead out of the union,
since it does not need to be there.

GFS2 has a transaction glock, which must be grabbed for every
transaction, whose purpose is to deal with freezing the filesystem.
Aside from this involving a large amount of locking, it is very easy to
make the current fsfreeze code hang on unfreezing.
This patch rewrites how gfs2 handles freezing the filesystem. The
transaction glock is removed. In it's place is a freeze glock, which is
cached (but not held) in a shared state by every node in the cluster
when the filesystem is mounted. This lock only needs to be grabbed on
freezing, and actions which need to be safe from freezing, like
recovery.
When a node wants to freeze the filesystem, it grabs this glock
exclusively. When the freeze glock state changes on the nodes (either
from shared to unlocked, or shared to exclusive), the filesystem does a
special log flush. gfs2_log_flush() does all the work for flushing out
the and shutting down the incore log, and then it tries to grab the
freeze glock in a shared state again. Since the filesystem is stuck in
gfs2_log_flush, no new transaction can start, and nothing can be written
to disk. Unfreezing the filesytem simply involes dropping the freeze
glock, allowing gfs2_log_flush() to grab and then release the shared
lock, so it is cached for next time.
However, in order for the unfreezing ioctl to occur, gfs2 needs to get a
shared lock on the filesystem root directory inode to check permissions.
If that glock has already been grabbed exclusively, fsfreeze will be
unable to get the shared lock and unfreeze the filesystem.
In order to allow the unfreeze, this patch makes gfs2 grab a shared lock
on the filesystem root directory during the freeze, and hold it until it
unfreezes the filesystem. The functions which need to grab a shared
lock in order to allow the unfreeze ioctl to be issued now use the lock
grabbed by the freeze code instead.
The freeze and unfreeze code take care to make sure that this shared
lock will not be dropped while another process is using it.

The intent of this new field in the directory entry is to
allow a subsequent lookup to know how many blocks, which
are contiguous with the inode, contain metadata which relates
to the inode. This will then allow the issuing of a single
read to read these blocks, rather than reading the inode
first, and then issuing a second read for the metadata.
This only works under some fairly strict conditions, since
we do not have back pointers from inodes to directory entries
we must ensure that the blocks referenced in this way will
always belong to the inode.
This rules out being able to use this system for indirect
blocks, as these can change as a result of truncate/rewrite.
So the idea here is to restrict this to xattr blocks only
for the time being. For most inodes, that means only a
single block. Also, when using ACLs and/or SELinux or
other LSMs, these will be added at inode creation time
so that they will be contiguous with the inode on disk and
also will almost always be needed when we read the inode in
for permissions checks.
Once an xattr block for an inode is allocated, it will never
change until the inode is deallocated.
This patch adds the new field, a further patch will add the
readahead in due course.

This is another step towards improving the allocation of xattr
blocks at inode allocation time. Here we take advantage of
Christoph's recent work on ACLs to allocate a block for the
xattrs early if we know that we will be adding ACLs to the
inode later on. The advantage of that is that it is much
more likely that we'll get a contiguous run of two blocks
where the first is the inode and the second is the xattr block.
We still have to fall back to the original system in case we
don't get the requested two contiguous blocks, or in case the
ACLs are too large to fit into the block.
Future patches will move more of the ACL setting code further
up the gfs2_inode_create() function. Also, I'd like to be
able to do the same thing with the xattrs from LSMs in
due course, too. That way we should be able to slowly reduce
the number of independent transactions, at least in the
most common cases.

This patch adds four new fields to directory leaf blocks.
The intent is not to use them in the kernel itself, although
perhaps we may be able to use them as hints at some later date,
but instead to provide more information for debug/fsck use.
One new field adds a pointer to the inode to which the leaf
belongs. This can be useful if the pointer to the leaf block
has become corrupt, as it will allow us to know which inode
this block should be associated with. This field is set when
the leaf is created and never changed over its lifetime.
The second field is a "distance from the hash table" field.
The meaning is as follows:
0 = An old leaf in which this value has not been set
1 = This leaf is pointed to directly from the hash table
2+ = This leaf is part of a chain, pointed to by another leaf
block, the value gives the position in the chain.
The third and fourth fields combine to give a time stamp of
the most recent directory insertion or deletion from this
leaf block. The time stamp is not updated when a new leaf
block is chained from the current one. The code is currently
written such that the timestamp on the dir inode will match
that of the leaf block for the most recent insertion/deletion.
For backwards compatibility, any of these new fields which is
zero should be considered to be "unknown".
