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.

If ocfs2_live_connection_list is empty, ocfs2_connection_find() will return
a pointer to the LIST_HEAD, cast as a ocfs2_live_connection. This can cause
an oops when ocfs2_control_send_down() dereferences c-&gt;oc_conn:

Call Trace:

Fix by explicitly returning NULL if no match is found.

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

<title>BKL: Remove BKL from OCFS2</title>

The BKL in ocfs2/dlmfs is used in put_super, fill_super and remount_fs
that are all three protected by the superblocks s_umount rw_semaphore.

The use in ocfs2_control_open is evidently unrelated and the function
is protected by ocfs2_control_lock.

Therefore it is safe to remove the BKL entirely.

<title>include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h</title>

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -&gt; slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

<title>ocfs2: Remove the ast pointers from ocfs2_stack_plugins</title>

With the full ocfs2_locking_protocol hanging off of the
ocfs2_cluster_connection, ast wrappers can get the ast/bast pointers
there.  They don't need to get them from their plugin structure.

The user plugin still needs the maximum locking protocol version,
though.  This changes the plugin structure so that it only holds the max
version, not the entire ocfs2_locking_protocol pointer.

With the ocfs2_cluster_connection hanging off of the ocfs2_dlm_lksb, we
have access to it in the ast and bast wrapper functions.  Attach the
ocfs2_locking_protocol to the conn.

Now, instead of refering to a static variable for ast/bast pointers, the
wrappers can look at the connection.  This means different connections
can have different ast/bast pointers, and it reduces the need for the
static pointer.

<title>ocfs2: Pass lksbs back from stackglue ast/bast functions.</title>

<id>a796d2862aed8117acc9f470f3429a5ee852912e</id>

The stackglue ast and bast functions tried to maintain the fiction that
their arguments were void pointers.  In reality, stack_user.c had to
know that the argument was an ocfs2_lock_res in order to get the status
off of the lksb.  That's ugly.

This changes stackglue to always pass the lksb as the argument to ast
and bast functions.  The caller can always use container_of() to get the
ocfs2_lock_res or user_dlm_lock_res.  The net effect to the caller is
zero.  They still get back the lockres in their ast.  stackglue gets
cleaner, and now can use the lksb itself.
