<content type='text'>
kmemdup is introduced to duplicate a region of memory in a neat way.

Rather than kmalloc/kzalloc + memcpy, which the programmer needs to
write the size twice (sometimes lead to mistakes), kmemdup improves
readability, leads to smaller code and also reduce the chances of
mistakes.

Suggestion to use kmemdup rather than using kmalloc/kzalloc + memcpy.

<title>ocfs2: fix the application IO timeout when fstrim is running</title>

<content type='text'>
The user reported this problem, the upper application IO was timeout
when fstrim was running on this ocfs2 partition.  the application
monitoring resource agent considered that this application did not work,
then this node was fenced by the cluster brain (e.g.  pacemaker).

The root cause is that fstrim thread always holds main_bm meta-file
related locks until all the cluster groups are trimmed.  This patch will
make fstrim thread release main_bm meta-file related locks when each
cluster group is trimmed, this will let the current application IO has a
chance to claim the clusters from main_bm meta-file.

<title>ocfs2: add trimfs lock to avoid duplicated trims in cluster</title>

ocfs2 supports trimming the underlying disk via the fstrim command.  But
there is a problem, ocfs2 is a shared disk cluster file system, if the
user configures a scheduled fstrim job on each file system node, this
will trigger multiple nodes trimming a shared disk simultaneously, which
is very wasteful for CPU and IO consumption.  This also might negatively
affect the lifetime of poor-quality SSD devices.

So we introduce a trimfs dlm lock to communicate with each other in this
case, which will make only one fstrim command to do the trimming on a
shared disk among the cluster.  The fstrim commands from the other nodes
should wait for the first fstrim to finish and return success directly,
to avoid running the same trim on the shared disk again.

A crash issue was reported by John Lightsey with a call trace as follows:

  ocfs2_split_extent+0x1ad3/0x1b40 [ocfs2]
  ocfs2_change_extent_flag+0x33a/0x470 [ocfs2]
  ocfs2_mark_extent_written+0x172/0x220 [ocfs2]
  ocfs2_dio_end_io+0x62d/0x910 [ocfs2]
  dio_complete+0x19a/0x1a0
  do_blockdev_direct_IO+0x19dd/0x1eb0
  __blockdev_direct_IO+0x43/0x50
  ocfs2_direct_IO+0x8f/0xa0 [ocfs2]
  generic_file_direct_write+0xb2/0x170
  __generic_file_write_iter+0xc3/0x1b0
  ocfs2_file_write_iter+0x4bb/0xca0 [ocfs2]
  __vfs_write+0xae/0xf0
  vfs_write+0xb8/0x1b0
  SyS_write+0x4f/0xb0
  system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x75

The BUG code told that extent tree wants to grow but no metadata was
reserved ahead of time.  From my investigation into this issue, the root
cause it that although enough metadata is not reserved, there should be
enough for following use.  Rightmost extent is merged into its left one
due to a certain times of marking extent written.  Because during
marking extent written, we got many physically continuous extents.  At
last, an empty extent showed up and the rightmost path is removed from
extent tree.

Add a new mechanism to reuse extent block cached in dealloc which were
just unlinked from extent tree to solve this crash issue.

Criteria is that during marking extents *written*, if extent rotation
and merging results in unlinking extent with growing extent tree later
without any metadata reserved ahead of time, try to reuse those extents
in dealloc in which deleted extents are cached.

Also, this patch addresses the issue John reported that ::dw_zero_count
is not calculated properly.

After applying this patch, the issue John reported was gone.  Thanks for
the reproducer provided by John.  And this patch has passed
ocfs2-test(29 cases) suite running by New H3C Group.
