similar to: [PATCH 1/1] OCFS2: add NFS Sync lock type string.

On unlink, all nodes check for the dentry in dcache and if present they mark the node as unlinked. The last node that purges the inode will clean it from orphan directory. When there is a memory pressure, a dentry may not be around and hence the inode is not marked as deleted and this will lead the file to be in the orphan directory till the slot is re-used during next mount. This patch initiates

For nfs exporting, ocfs2_get_dentry() returns the dentry for fh. ocfs2_get_dentry() may read from disk(when inode not in memory) without any cross cluster lock. this leads to load a stale inode. this patch fixes above problem. solution is that in case of inode is not in memory, we get the cluster lock(PR) of alloc inode where the inode in question is allocated from(this causes node on which

changes from v4: 1, let suballoc lock covers the checking of the group. 2, add/correct some log messages. 3, use ocfs2_read_group_descriptor() instead of diry reading the group.

changes from v3: 1, move codes that checks inode allocation bit to subfunction ocfs2_test_inode_bit(). 2, release the suballoc lock just after we get it. we should release it asap and doing so doesn't affect functionility. 3, add inode alloc slot validation.

Back porting from mainline.

Next two patches are backport of orphan scan timer patches to ocfs2-1.4

All, Please review the patches backported to 1.4 from mainline. Sunil

Ocfs2 supports exporting. PROBLEM: There are 2 problems (1) Current version of ocfs2_get_dentry() may read from disk the inode WITHOUT any cross cluster lock. This may lead to load a stale inode. (2) for deleting an inode, ocfs2_remove_inode() doesn't sync/checkpoint to disk. This also may lead ocfs2_get_dentry() from other node read out stale inode. PROBLEM DETAIL: for problem (1), For

Linus, et al, Here are the ocfs2 updates for 2.6.31. It's a quiet cycle, almost completely composed of fixes. There is a nice performance improvement from Hisashi Hifumi for fdatasync. Please pull.

It would be nice to know how often we get checksum failures. Even better, how many of them we can fix with the single bit ecc. So, we add a statistics structure. The structure can be installed into debugfs wherever the user wants. For ocfs2, we'll put it in the superblock-specific debugfs directory and pass it down from our higher-level functions. The stats are only registered with

These patches comprise the bulk of our outstanding changes for Ocfs2 and Configfs. Configfs gets some lockdep updates, and we remove it's EXPERIMENTAL tag as things have been quite stable for some time now. Ocfs2 gets fixes that made it in too late for 2.6.24, and several new features. The most interesting are listed below: We've been on the path to removing the "vote"

Hi, The following patches comprise the bulk of Ocfs2 updates for the 2.6.30 merge window. Aside from larger, more involved fixes, we're adding the following features, which I will describe in the order their patches are mailed. Sunil's exported some more state to our debugfs files, and consolidated some other aspects of our debugfs infrastructure. This will further aid us in debugging
