[ Upstream commit 174d1232ebc84fcde8f5889d1171c9c7e74a10a7 ]

The chunk size of allocations in __gfs2_fallocate is calculated
incorrectly.  The size can collapse, causing __gfs2_fallocate to
allocate one block at a time, which is very inefficient.  This needs
fixing in two places:

In gfs2_quota_lock_check, always set ap-&gt;allowed to UINT_MAX to indicate
that there is no quota limit.  This fixes callers that rely on
ap-&gt;allowed to be set even when quotas are off.

In __gfs2_fallocate, reset max_blks to UINT_MAX in each iteration of the
loop to make sure that allocation limits from one resource group won't
spill over into another resource group.

<title>GFS2: Take inode off order_write list when setting jdata flag</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit cc555b09d8c3817aeebda43a14ab67049a5653f7 ]

This patch fixes a deadlock caused when the jdata flag is set for
inodes that are already on the ordered write list. Since it is
on the ordered write list, log_flush calls gfs2_ordered_write which
calls filemap_fdatawrite. But since the inode had the jdata flag
set, that calls gfs2_jdata_writepages, which tries to start a new
transaction. A new transaction cannot be started because it tries
to acquire the log_flush rwsem which is already locked by the log
flush operation.

The bottom line is: We cannot switch an inode from ordered to jdata
until we eliminate any ordered data pages (via log flush) or any
log_flush operation afterward will create the circular dependency
above. So we need to flush the log before setting the diskflags to
switch the file mode, then we need to remove the inode from the
ordered writes list.

Before this patch, the log flush was done for jdata-&gt;ordered, but
that's wrong. If we're going from jdata to ordered, we don't need
to call gfs2_log_flush because the call to filemap_fdatawrite will
do it for us:

   filemap_fdatawrite() -&gt; __filemap_fdatawrite_range()
      __filemap_fdatawrite_range() -&gt; do_writepages()
         do_writepages() -&gt; gfs2_jdata_writepages()
            gfs2_jdata_writepages() -&gt; gfs2_log_flush()

This patch modifies function do_gfs2_set_flags so that if a file
has its jdata flag set, and it's already on the ordered write list,
the log will be flushed and it will be removed from the list
before setting the flag.

In gfs2_page_mkwrite, grab the inode glock in EX mode before calling
file_update_time: grabbing the lock may result in a call to
gfs2_dinode_in, which will reset the file times to their on-disk state.

Make the code more readable by cleaning up the different ways of
initializing lock holders and checking for initialized lock holders:
mark lock holders as uninitialized by setting the holder's glock to NULL
(gfs2_holder_mark_uninitialized) instead of zeroing out the entire
object or using a separate flag.  Recognize initialized holders by their
non-NULL glock (gfs2_holder_initialized).  Don't zero out holder objects
which are immeditiately initialized via gfs2_holder_init or
gfs2_glock_nq_init.
