commit e7ee2c089e94067d68475990bdeed211c8852917 upstream.

The crash happens rather often when we reset some cluster nodes while
nodes contend fiercely to do truncate and append.

The crash backtrace is below:

It's because ocfs2_inode_lock() get us stale LVB in which the i_size is
not equal to the disk i_size.  We mistakenly trust the LVB because the
underlaying fsdlm dlm_lock() doesn't set lkb_sbflags with
DLM_SBF_VALNOTVALID properly for us.  But, why?

The current code tries to downconvert lock without DLM_LKF_VALBLK flag
to tell o2cb don't update RSB's LVB if it's a PR-&gt;NULL conversion, even
if the lock resource type needs LVB.  This is not the right way for
fsdlm.

The fsdlm plugin behaves different on DLM_LKF_VALBLK, it depends on
DLM_LKF_VALBLK to decide if we care about the LVB in the LKB.  If
DLM_LKF_VALBLK is not set, fsdlm will skip recovering RSB's LVB from
this lkb and set the right DLM_SBF_VALNOTVALID appropriately when node
failure happens.

The following diagram briefly illustrates how this crash happens:

RSB1 is inode metadata lock resource with LOCK_TYPE_USES_LVB;

The 1st round:

             Node1                                    Node2
RSB1: PR
                                                  RSB1(master): NULL-&gt;EX
ocfs2_downconvert_lock(PR-&gt;NULL, set_lvb==0)
  ocfs2_dlm_lock(no DLM_LKF_VALBLK)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

dlm_lock(no DLM_LKF_VALBLK)
  convert_lock(overwrite lkb-&gt;lkb_exflags
               with no DLM_LKF_VALBLK)

RSB1: NULL                                        RSB1: EX
                                                  reset Node2
dlm_recover_rsbs()
  recover_lvb()

/* The LVB is not trustable if the node with EX fails and
 * no lock &gt;= PR is left. We should set RSB_VALNOTVALID for RSB1.
 */

 if(!(kb_exflags &amp; DLM_LKF_VALBLK)) /* This means we miss the chance to
           return;                   * to invalid the LVB here.
                                     */

The 2nd round:

         Node 1                                Node2
RSB1(become master from recovery)

ocfs2_setattr()
  ocfs2_inode_lock(NULL-&gt;EX)
    /* dlm_lock() return the stale lvb without setting DLM_SBF_VALNOTVALID */
    ocfs2_meta_lvb_is_trustable() return 1 /* so we don't refresh inode from disk */
  ocfs2_truncate_file()
      mlog_bug_on_msg(disk isize != i_size_read(inode))  /* crash! */

The fix is quite straightforward.  We keep to set DLM_LKF_VALBLK flag
for dlm_lock() if the lock resource type needs LVB and the fsdlm plugin
is uesed.

It's because ocfs2_inode_lock() get us stale LVB in which the i_size is
not equal to the disk i_size.  We mistakenly trust the LVB because the
underlaying fsdlm dlm_lock() doesn't set lkb_sbflags with
DLM_SBF_VALNOTVALID properly for us.  But, why?

The current code tries to downconvert lock without DLM_LKF_VALBLK flag
to tell o2cb don't update RSB's LVB if it's a PR-&gt;NULL conversion, even
if the lock resource type needs LVB.  This is not the right way for
fsdlm.

The fsdlm plugin behaves different on DLM_LKF_VALBLK, it depends on
DLM_LKF_VALBLK to decide if we care about the LVB in the LKB.  If
DLM_LKF_VALBLK is not set, fsdlm will skip recovering RSB's LVB from
this lkb and set the right DLM_SBF_VALNOTVALID appropriately when node
failure happens.

                                     */

The 2nd round:

The fix is quite straightforward.  We keep to set DLM_LKF_VALBLK flag
for dlm_lock() if the lock resource type needs LVB and the fsdlm plugin
is uesed.

Obviously, memset() has zeroed the whole struct locking_max_version.
So, it's no need to zero its two fields individually.

When there are errors in the ocfs2 filesystem, they are usually
accompanied by the inode number which caused the error.  This inode
number would be the input to fixing the file.  One of these options
could be considered:

A file in the sys filesytem which would accept inode numbers.  This
could be used to communication back what has to be fixed or is fixed.
You could write:

  $# echo "&lt;inode&gt;" &gt; /sys/fs/ocfs2/devname/filecheck/check

or

  $# echo "&lt;inode&gt;" &gt; /sys/fs/ocfs2/devname/filecheck/fix

Compare with second version, I re-design filecheck sysfs interfaces,
there are three sysfs files (check, fix and set) under filecheck
directory (see above), sysfs will accept only one argument &lt;inode&gt;.
Second, I adjust some code in ocfs2_filecheck_repair_inode_block()
function according to upstream feedback, we cannot just add VALID_FL
flag back as a inode block fix, then we will not fix this field
corruption currently until having a complete solution.  Compare with
first version, I use strncasecmp instead of double strncmp functions.
Second, update the source file contribution vendor.

This patch (of 4):

Export ocfs2_kset object from ocfs2_stackglue kernel module, then online
file check code will create the related sysfiles under ocfs2_kset
object.  We're exporting this because it's built in ocfs2_stackglue.ko.

<pre>
When there are errors in the ocfs2 filesystem, they are usually
accompanied by the inode number which caused the error.  This inode
number would be the input to fixing the file.  One of these options
could be considered:

A file in the sys filesytem which would accept inode numbers.  This
could be used to communication back what has to be fixed or is fixed.
You could write:

  $# echo "&lt;inode&gt;" &gt; /sys/fs/ocfs2/devname/filecheck/check

or

  $# echo "&lt;inode&gt;" &gt; /sys/fs/ocfs2/devname/filecheck/fix

Compare with second version, I re-design filecheck sysfs interfaces,
there are three sysfs files (check, fix and set) under filecheck
directory (see above), sysfs will accept only one argument &lt;inode&gt;.
Second, I adjust some code in ocfs2_filecheck_repair_inode_block()

This is a part of the nocontrold feature which was incorporated sometime
back.

This is required for backward compatibility of the tools, specifically
the scenario where the tools with recovery callback is used with a
kernel not using the recovery callbacks (older kernel + newer tools).
The tools look for this file to understand if the kernel supports DLM
recovery callbacks.

For kernels which support recovery callbacks but will miss this patch,
ocfs2 will continue to use the older API and would still be able to
mount the filesystem.

Commit c74a3bdd9b52 ("ocfs2: add clustername to cluster connection") is

avoid triviel oopses.

Summary of http://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/14/363 :

  Ted: module_param(queue_depth, int, 444)
  Joe: 0444!
  Rusty: User perms &gt;= group perms &gt;= other perms?
  Joe: CLASS_ATTR, DEVICE_ATTR, SENSOR_ATTR and SENSOR_ATTR_2?

Side effect of stricter permissions means removing the unnecessary
S_IFREG from several callers.

Note that the BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO((perm) &amp; 2) test was removed: a fair
number of drivers fail this test, so that will be the debate for a
future patch.

This is done to differentiate between using and not using controld and
use the connection information accordingly.

We need to be backward compatible.  So, we use a new enum
ocfs2_connection_type to identify when controld is used and when it is
not.

This is an effort of removing ocfs2_controld.pcmk and getting ocfs2 DLM
handling up to the times with respect to DLM (&gt;=4.0.1) and corosync
(2.3.x).  AFAIK, cman also is being phased out for a unified corosync
cluster stack.

fs/dlm performs all the functions with respect to fencing and node
management and provides the API's to do so for ocfs2.  For all future
references, DLM stands for fs/dlm code.

The advantages are:
 + No need to run an additional userspace daemon (ocfs2_controld)
 + No controld device handling and controld protocol
 + Shifting responsibilities of node management to DLM layer

For backward compatibility, we are keeping the controld handling code.
Once enough time has passed we can remove a significant portion of the
code.  This was tested by using the kernel with changes on older
unmodified tools.  The kernel used ocfs2_controld as expected, and
displayed the appropriate warning message.

This feature requires modification in the userspace ocfs2-tools.  The
changes can be found at: https://github.com/goldwynr/ocfs2-tools branch:
nocontrold Currently, not many checks are present in the userspace code,
but that would change soon.

This patch (of 6):

Add clustername to cluster connection.
