The in_recovery rw_semaphore has always been acquired and
released by different threads by design.  To work around
the "BUG: bad unlock balance detected!" messages, adjust
things so the dlm_recoverd thread always does both down_write
and up_write.

<title>dlm: use rsbtbl as resource directory</title>

Remove the dir hash table (dirtbl), and use
the rsb hash table (rsbtbl) as the resource
directory.  It has always been an unnecessary
duplication of information.

This improves efficiency by using a single rsbtbl
lookup in many cases where both rsbtbl and dirtbl
lookups were needed previously.

This eliminates the need to handle cases of rsbtbl
and dirtbl being out of sync.

In many cases there will be memory savings because
the dir hash table no longer exists.

<title>dlm: fixes for nodir mode</title>

<id>4875647a08e35f77274838d97ca8fa44158d50e2</id>
<content type='text'>
The "nodir" mode (statically assign master nodes instead
of using the resource directory) has always been highly
experimental, and never seriously used.  This commit
fixes a number of problems, making nodir much more usable.

- Major change to recovery: recover all locks and restart
  all in-progress operations after recovery.  In some
  cases it's not possible to know which in-progess locks
  to recover, so recover all.  (Most require recovery
  in nodir mode anyway since rehashing changes most
  master nodes.)

- Change the way nodir mode is enabled, from a command
  line mount arg passed through gfs2, into a sysfs
  file managed by dlm_controld, consistent with the
  other config settings.

- Allow recovering MSTCPY locks on an rsb that has not
  yet been turned into a master copy.

- Ignore RCOM_LOCK and RCOM_LOCK_REPLY recovery messages
  from a previous, aborted recovery cycle.  Base this
  on the local recovery status not being in the state
  where any nodes should be sending LOCK messages for the
  current recovery cycle.

- Hold rsb lock around dlm_purge_mstcpy_locks() because it
  may run concurrently with dlm_recover_master_copy().

- Maintain highbast on process-copy lkb's (in addition to
  the master as is usual), because the lkb can switch
  back and forth between being a master and being a
  process copy as the master node changes in recovery.

- When recovering MSTCPY locks, flag rsb's that have
  non-empty convert or waiting queues for granting
  at the end of recovery.  (Rename flag from LOCKS_PURGED
  to RECOVER_GRANT and similar for the recovery function,
  because it's not only resources with purged locks
  that need grant a grant attempt.)

- Replace a couple of unnecessary assertion panics with
  error messages.

These new callbacks notify the dlm user about lock recovery.
GFS2, and possibly others, need to be aware of when the dlm
will be doing lock recovery for a failed lockspace member.

In the past, this coordination has been done between dlm and
file system daemons in userspace, which then direct their
kernel counterparts.  These callbacks allow the same
coordination directly, and more simply.

Put all the calls to recovery barriers in the same function
to clarify where they each happen.  Should not change any behavior.
Also modify some recovery debug lines to make them consistent.

callbacks for all lockspaces, use a per-lockspace workqueue
to deliver the callbacks.  This eliminates complications and
slowdowns from many lockspaces sharing the same thread.

If a node is removed from a lockspace, and then added back before the
dlm is notified of the removal, the dlm will not detect the removal
and won't clear the old state from the node.  This is fixed by using a
list of added nodes so the membership recovery can detect when a newly
added node is already in the member list.

To prevent the master of an rsb from changing rapidly, an unused rsb is kept
on the "toss list" for a period of time to be reused.  The toss list was
being cleared completely for each recovery, which is unnecessary.  Much of
the benefit of the toss list can be maintained if nodes keep rsb's in their
toss list that they are the master of.  These rsb's need to be included
when the resource directory is rebuilt during recovery.

<title>[DLM] block dlm_recv in recovery transition</title>

<id>c36258b5925e6cf6bf72904635100593573bfcff</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce a per-lockspace rwsem that's held in read mode by dlm_recv
threads while working in the dlm.  This allows dlm_recv activity to be
suspended when the lockspace transitions to, from and between recovery
cycles.

The specific bug prompting this change is one where an in-progress
recovery cycle is aborted by a new recovery cycle.  While dlm_recv was
processing a recovery message, the recovery cycle was aborted and
dlm_recoverd began cleaning up.  dlm_recv decremented recover_locks_count
on an rsb after dlm_recoverd had reset it to zero.  This is fixed by
suspending dlm_recv (taking write lock on the rwsem) before aborting the
current recovery.

The transitions to/from normal and recovery modes are simplified by using
this new ability to block dlm_recv.  The switch from normal to recovery
mode means dlm_recv goes from processing locking messages, to saving them
for later, and vice versa.  Races are avoided by blocking dlm_recv when
setting the flag that switches between modes.
