[ Upstream commit b98333c67daf887c724cd692e88e2db9418c0861 ]

This patch fixes a possible null pointer dereference when this function is
called from request_lock() as lkb-&gt;lkb_resource is not assigned yet,
only after validate_lock_args() by calling attach_lkb(). Another issue
is that a resource name could be a non printable bytearray and we cannot
assume to be ASCII coded.

The log functionality is probably never being hit when DLM is used in
normal way and no debug logging is enabled. The null pointer dereference
can only occur on a new created lkb that does not have the resource
assigned yet, it probably never hits the null pointer dereference but we
should be sure that other changes might not change this behaviour and we
actually can hit the mentioned null pointer dereference.

In this patch we just drop the printout of the resource name, the lkb id
is enough to make a possible connection to a resource name if this
exists.

[ Upstream commit e01c4b7bd41522ae0299c07e2ee8c721fee02595 ]

This patch adds tracepoints for send and recv cases of dlm messages and
dlm rcom messages. In case of send and dlm message we add the dlm rsb
resource name this dlm messages belongs to. This has the advantage to
follow dlm messages on a per lock basis. In case of recv message the
resource name can be extracted by follow the send message sequence
number.

The dlm message DLM_MSG_PURGE doesn't belong to a lock request and will
not set the resource name in a dlm_message trace. The same for all rcom
messages.

There is additional handling required for this debugging functionality
which is tried to be small as possible. Also the midcomms layer gets
aware of lock resource names, for now this is required to make a
connection between sequence number and lock resource names. It is for
debugging purpose only.

[ Upstream commit 57a5724ef0b332eb6e78250157910a006b01bf6e ]

This patch removes the send repeat remove handling. This handling is
there to repeatingly DLM_MSG_REMOVE messages in cases the dlm stack
thinks it was not received at the first time. In cases of message drops
this functionality is necessary, but since the DLM midcomms layer
guarantees there are no messages drops between cluster nodes this
feature became not strict necessary anymore. Due message
delays/processing it could be that two send_repeat_remove() are sent out
while the other should be still on it's way. We remove the repeat remove
handling because we are sure that the message cannot be dropped due
communication errors.

This patch fixes a possible use after free if tracing for the specific
event is enabled. To avoid the use after free we introduce a out_put
label like all other user lock specific requests and safe in a boolean
to do a put or not which depends on the execution path of
dlm_user_request().

The resource name parameter should never be changed by DLM so we declare
it as const. At some point it is handled as a char pointer, a resource
name can be a non printable ascii string as well. This patch change it
to handle it as void pointer as it is offered by DLM API.

This patch adds trace callbacks for user locks. Unfortenately user locks
are handled in a different way than kernel locks in some cases. User
locks never call the dlm_lock()/dlm_unlock() kernel API and use the next
step internal API of dlm. Adding those traces from user API callers
should make it possible for dlm trace system to see lock handling for
user locks as well.

This patch changes the ls_clear_proc_locks to a spinlock because there
is no need to handle it as a mutex as there is no sleepable context when
ls_clear_proc_locks is held. This allows us to call those functionality
in non-sleepable contexts.

Currently we handle in dlm_receive_buffer() everything else than a
DLM_MSG type as DLM_RCOM message. Although a different message than
DLM_MSG should be a DLM_RCOM we should explicit check on DLM_RCOM and
drop a log_error() if we see something unexpected.

This patch fixes the issue by checking also on DLM_LKF_VALBLK on exflags
is set when copying the lvbptr array instead of if it's just null which
fixes for me the issue.

I think this patch can fix other dlm users as well, depending how they
handle the init, freeing memory handling of sb_lvbptr and don't set
DLM_LKF_VALBLK for some dlm_lock() calls. It might a there could be a
hidden issue all the time. However with checking on DLM_LKF_VALBLK the
user always need to provide a sb_lvbptr non-null value. There might be
more intelligent handling between per ls lvblen, DLM_LKF_VALBLK and
non-null to report the user the way how DLM API is used is wrong but can
be added for later, this will only fix the current behaviour.

If the user generates -EINVAL it's probably because they are
using DLM incorrectly.  Change the log level to make these
errors more visible.
