commit cf6620acc0f6fac57968aafef79ab372bdcf6157 upstream.

When the lock master processes a successful operation (request,
convert, cancel, or unlock), it will process the effects of the
change before sending the reply for the operation.  The "effects"
of the operation are:

- blocking callbacks (basts) for any newly granted locks
- waiting or converting locks that can now be granted

The cast is queued on the local node when the reply from the lock
master is received.  This means that a lock holder can receive a
bast for a lock mode that is doesn't yet know has been granted.

<title>dlm: fix ordering of bast and cast</title>

commit 7fe2b3190b8b299409f13cf3a6f85c2bd371f8bb upstream.

When both blocking and completion callbacks are queued for lock,
the dlm would always deliver the completion callback (cast) first.
In some cases the blocking callback (bast) is queued before the
cast, though, and should be delivered first.  This patch keeps
track of the order in which they were queued and delivers them
in that order.

This patch also keeps track of the granted mode in the last cast
and eliminates the following bast if the bast mode is compatible
with the preceding cast mode.  This happens when a remotely mastered
lock is demoted, e.g. EX-&gt;NL, in which case the local node queues
a cast immediately after sending the demote message.  In this way
a cast can be queued for a mode, e.g. NL, that makes an in-transit
bast extraneous.

commit 573c24c4af6664ffcd9aa7ba617a35fde2b95534 upstream.

Replace all GFP_KERNEL and ls_allocation with GFP_NOFS.
ls_allocation would be GFP_KERNEL for userland lockspaces
and GFP_NOFS for file system lockspaces.

It was discovered that any lockspaces on the system can
affect all others by triggering memory reclaim in the
file system which could in turn call back into the dlm
to acquire locks, deadlocking dlm threads that were
shared by all lockspaces, like dlm_recv.

The code to set up sctp sockets was not using the sockfd_lookup()
and sockfd_put() routines to translate an fd to a socket.  The
direct fget and fput calls were resulting in error messages from
alloc_fd().

Also clean up two log messages and remove a third, related to
setting up sctp associations.

The recently added dlm_lowcomms_connect_node() from
391fbdc5d527149578490db2f1619951d91f3561 does not work
when using SCTP instead of TCP.  The sctp connection code
has nothing to do without data to send.  Check for no data
in the sctp connection code and do nothing instead of
triggering a BUG.  Also have connect_node() do nothing
when the protocol is sctp.

Make all seq_operations structs const, to help mitigate against
revectoring user-triggerable function pointers.

This is derived from the grsecurity patch, although generated from scratch
because it's simpler than extracting the changes from there.

Closing a connection to a node can create problems if there are
outstanding messages for that node.  The problems include dlm_send
spinning attempting to reconnect, or BUG from tcp_connect_to_sock()
attempting to use a partially closed connection.

To cleanly close a connection, we now first attempt to send any pending
messages, cancel any remaining workqueue work, and flag the connection
as closed to avoid reconnect attempts.
