As a minor clean-up to commit 1fc05c8d8426 ("gfs2: cancel timed-out
glock requests"), when a demote request is in progress in
finish_xmote(), there is no point in waking up the glock holder at the
head of the queue because the reply from dlm cannot be on behalf of that
glock holder.

<title>gfs2: simplify finish_xmote</title>

As a follow-up to commit a431d49243a0 ("gfs2: Fix request cancelation
bug"), it turns out that any call to finish_xmote() is always followed
by a call to run_queue(), either

 * directly when glock_work_func() calls finish_xmote() before calling
   run_queue(), or

 * indirectly when do_xmote() calls finish_xmote() before calling
   gfs2_glock_queue_work(), which queues a call to glock_work_func() in
   work queue context,

so remove the code in finish_xmote() that duplicates the functionality
of run_queue().

In addition, the code this commit removes is missing a check for the
GLF_DEMOTE flag which indicates that no further promotes should be
performed, so if that code didn't get removed, that check would have to
be added.

<title>gfs2: sanitize the gdlm_ast -&gt; finish_xmote interface</title>

When gdlm_ast() is called with a non-zero status code, this means that
the requested operation did not succeed and the current lock state
didn't change.  Turn that into a non-zero LM_OUT_* status code (with ret
&amp; ~LM_OUT_ST_MASK != 0) instead of pretending that dlm returned the
current lock state.

That way, we can easily change finish_xmote() to only update
gl-&gt;gl_state when the state has actually changed.

<title>gfs2: replace sd_aspace with sd_inode</title>

Currently, sdp-&gt;sd_aspace and the per-inode metadata address spaces use
sb-&gt;s_bdev-&gt;bd_mapping-&gt;host as their -&gt;host; folios in those address
spaces will thus appear to be on bdev rather than on gfs2 filesystems.
This is a problem because gfs2 doesn't support cgroup writeback
(SB_I_CGROUPWB), but bdev does.

Fix that by using a "dummy" gfs2 inode as -&gt;host in those address
spaces.  When coming from a folio, folio-&gt;mapping-&gt;host-&gt;i_sb will then
be a gfs2 super block and the SB_I_CGROUPWB flag will not be set in
sb-&gt;s_iflags.

Based on a previous version from Bob Peterson from several years ago.
Thanks to Tetsuo Handa, Jan Kara, and Rafael Aquini for helping figure
this out.

Pull gfs2 updates from Andreas Gruenbacher:

 - Fix two bugs related to locking request cancelation (locking request
   being retried instead of canceled; canceling the wrong locking
   request)

 - Prevent a race between inode creation and deferred delete analogous
   to commit ffd1cf0443a2 from 6.13. This now allows to further simplify
   gfs2_evict_inode() without introducing mysterious problems

 - When in inode delete should be verified / retried "later" but that
   isn't possible, skip the delete instead of carrying it out
   immediately. This broke in 6.13

 - More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox (plus a fix from Dan
   Carpenter)

 - Various minor fixes and cleanups

In gfs2_try_evict(), we try grabbing the inode to evict, we try to evict
it, and then we try grabbing it again to see if it still exists.  There
is no guarantee that we will end up with the same inode both times; the
inode validity check that commit ffd1cf0443a2 ("gfs2: Prevent inode
creation race") added to the first grab is actually needed both times.

(To avoid code duplication, add a grab_existing_inode() helper.)

In gfs2_glock_dq(), we must drop the glock spin lock before calling
-&gt;lm_cancel, but this means that in the meantime, the operation we are
trying to cancel could complete.  If the operation completes
unsuccessfully, another holder can end up at the head of the queue and
another -&gt;lm_lock operation can get started.  In this case, we would end
up canceling that second operation by accident.

To prevent that, introduce a new GLF_CANCELING flag.  Set that flag in
gfs2_glock_dq() when trying to cancel an operation.  When seeing that
flag, finish_xmote() will then keep the GLF_LOCK flag set to prevent
other glock operations from taking place.  gfs2_glock_dq() then
completes the cancelation attempt by clearing GLF_LOCK and
GLF_CANCELING.

In addition, add a missing GLF_DEMOTE_IN_PROGRESS check in
gfs2_glock_dq() to make sure that we won't accidentally cancel a demote
request.

In finish_xmote(), when a locking request is canceled, the corresponding
holder is moved to the tail of the holders list instead of being
dequeued immediately.  When there is only a single holder, the canceled
locking request is then immediately repeated.  This makes no sense; it
looks like another remnant of LM_FLAG_PRIORITY support.

Instead, dequeue canceled holders and proceed with the next holder in
finish_xmote().  We can then easily detect in gfs2_glock_dq() when a
holder has been canceled.
