Pull gfs2 updates from Bob Peterson:
"We've got ten patches this time, half of which are related to a
plethora of nasty outcomes when inodes are transitioned from the
unlinked state to the free state. Small file systems are particularly
vulnerable to these problems, and it can manifest as mainly hangs, but
also file system corruption. The patches have been tested for
literally many weeks, with a very gruelling test, so I have a high
level of confidence.
- Andreas Gruenbacher wrote a series of five patches for various
lockups during the transition of inodes from unlinked to free.
The main patch is titled "Fix gfs2_lookup_by_inum lock inversion"
and the other four are support and cleanup patches related to that.
- Ben Marzinski contributed two patches with regard to a recreatable
problem when gfs2 tries to write a page to a file that is being
truncated, resulting in a BUG() in gfs2_remove_from_journal.
Note that Ben had to export vfs function __block_write_full_page to
get this to work properly. It's been posted a long time and he
talked to various VFS people about it, and nobody seemed to mind.
- I contributed 3 patches:
o The first one fixes a memory corruptor: a race in which one
process can overwrite the gl_object pointer set by another
process, causing kernel panic and other symptoms.
o The second patch fixes another race that resulted in a
false-positive BUG_ON. This occurred when resource group
reservations were freed by one process while another process
was trying to grab a new reservation in the same resource
group.
o The third patch fixes a problem with doing journal replay when
the journals are not all the same size"
