no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441
("fs: remove no_llseek")

To quote that commit,

  At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -

  git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
	sed -i '/\&lt;no_llseek\&gt;/d' $i
  done

  would do it.

Unfortunately, that hadn't been done.  Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
	.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

<content type='text'>
To avoid -EINPROGRESS cases on connect that just ends in a retry we just
call connect in a synchronized way to wait until its done. Since commit
dbb751ffab0b ("fs: dlm: parallelize lowcomms socket handling") we have a
non ordered workqueue running for serving the DLM sockets that allows us
to call send/recv for each DLM socket connection in parallel. Before
each worker needed to wait until the previous worker was done and
probably the reason why connect() was called in an asynchronous way to
not block other workers. This is however not necessary anymore as other
socket handling workers don't need to wait.

<title>dlm: move lkb xarray lookup out of lock</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch moves the xarray lookup functionality for the lkb out of the
ls_lkbxa_lock read lock handling. We can do that as the xarray should be
possible to access lockless in case of reader like xa_load(). We confirm
under ls_lkbxa_lock that the lkb is still part of the data structure and
take a reference when its still part of ls_lkbxa to avoid being freed
after doing the lookup. To do a check if the lkb is still part of the
ls_lkbxa data structure we use a kref_read() as the last put will remove
it from the ls_lkbxa data structure and any reference taken means it is
still part of ls_lkbxa.

A similar approach was done with the DLM rsb rhashtable just with a flag
instead of the refcounter because the refcounter has a slightly
different meaning.

The rhashtable structure is lockless for readers such as
rhashtable_lookup_fast(). It should be save to call this lookup
functionality out of holding ls_rsbtbl_lock to get the rsb pointer out
of the hash. This reduce the contention time of ls_rsbtbl_lock in some
cases. We still need to check if the rsb is part of the check as this
state can be changed while ls_rsbtbl_lock is not held. If its part of
the rhashtable data structure we take a reference to be sure it will not
be freed after we drop the ls_rsbtbl_lock read lock.

Since commit 01fdeca1cc2d ("dlm: use rcu to avoid an extra rsb struct
lookup") _dlm_master_lookup() is called under rcu lock that prevents
that the rsb structure is being freed. There was a missing change to
avoid an additional lookup and just check that the rsb is still part of
the ls_rsbtbl structure. This patch is doing such check instead of
lookup the rsb structure again.

This patch handles freeing of lockspace resources asynchronously besides
the release_lockspace() context. The release_lockspace() context is
sometimes called in a time critical context, e.g. umount syscall. Most
every user space init system will timeout if it takes too long. To
reduce the potential waiting time we deregister in release_lockspace()
the lockspace from the DLM subsystem and do the actual releasing of
lockspace resource in a worker of a workqueue following recommendation
of:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/49925af7-78a8-a3dd-bce6-cfc02e1a9236@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/T/#u

as flushing of system workqueues are not allowed. The most time to
release the DLM resources are spent to release the data structures
"ls-&gt;ls_lkbxa" and "ls-&gt;ls_rsbtbl" as they iterate over each entries and
those data structures can contain millions of entries. This patch handles
for now only freeing of those data structures as those operations are
the most reason why release_lockspace() blocking of being returned.

This prepares to split the releasing of all lockspace resources

This patch adds a warn on if is_master() and dlm_is_removed() checks on
invalid nodeid states that are probably not what the caller wants to do
here. The is_master() function checking on r-&gt;res_nodeid is invalid when
it is set to -1, whereas the dlm_is_removed() has a different meaning
as "nodeid member" and also 0 is invalid.

We run into these cases and this patch changes those cases as we never
will run into them. There should be no functional changes as the
condition should return the same result. However this patch signals now
on caller level that there might be an "extra" case to handle here.
