[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18-6.1] gfs2: Fix use of bio_chain

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18-6.1] gfs2: Fix use of bio_chain

[Sasha Levin]

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 8a157e0a0aa5143b5d94201508c0ca1bb8cfb941 ]

In gfs2_chain_bio(), the call to bio_chain() has its arguments swapped.
The result is leaked bios and incorrect synchronization (only the last
bio will actually be waited for).  This code is only used during mount
and filesystem thaw, so the bug normally won't be noticeable.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18-6.6] gfs2: fix remote evict for read-only filesystems

[Sasha Levin]

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 64c10ed9274bc46416f502afea48b4ae11279669 ]

When a node tries to delete an inode, it first requests exclusive access
to the iopen glock.  This triggers demote requests on all remote nodes
currently holding the iopen glock.  To satisfy those requests, the
remote nodes evict the inode in question, or they poke the corresponding
inode glock to signal that the inode is still in active use.

This behavior doesn't depend on whether or not a filesystem is
read-only, so remove the incorrect read-only check.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18-6.12] gfs2: Fix "gfs2: Switch to wait_event in gfs2_quotad"

[Sasha Levin]

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit dff1fb6d8b7abe5b1119fa060f5d6b3370bf10ac ]

Commit e4a8b5481c59a ("gfs2: Switch to wait_event in gfs2_quotad") broke
cyclic statfs syncing, so the numbers reported by "df" could easily get
completely out of sync with reality.  Fix this by reverting part of
commit e4a8b5481c59a for now.

A follow-up commit will clean this code up later.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18-6.6] gfs2: fix remote evict for read-only filesystems

## Analysis: gfs2: fix remote evict for read-only filesystems

### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS

**Subject:** Uses "fix" keyword, indicating a bug fix
**Description:** Explains a cluster coordination bug in GFS2 where the
read-only check was incorrectly preventing remote inode eviction
**Tags:**
- Signed-off-by from Andreas Gruenbacher (GFS2 maintainer)
- No explicit "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" tag
- No "Fixes:" tag

### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS

The change is extremely minimal - removing a single condition from
`iopen_go_callback()`:

**Before:**
```c
if (!remote || sb_rdonly(sdp->sd_vfs) ||
    test_bit(SDF_KILL, &sdp->sd_flags))
    return;
```

**After:**
```c
if (!remote || test_bit(SDF_KILL, &sdp->sd_flags))
    return;
```

**Technical mechanism of the bug:**
- GFS2 is a clustered filesystem where multiple nodes access shared
  storage
- When Node A wants to delete an inode, it requests exclusive access to
  the iopen glock
- This triggers demote requests to all remote nodes (Node B, C, etc.)
  holding that glock
- Remote nodes must respond by either evicting the inode or signaling
  it's still in use
- The bug: The `sb_rdonly()` check caused read-only mounted nodes to
  skip this coordination entirely
- This breaks cluster protocol because Node A waits for Node B to
  release the glock, but Node B ignores the request

**Why the fix is correct:**
Cluster coordination for glock demotes must work regardless of mount
mode. A read-only node still participates in the cluster and must
properly respond to glock callbacks. The read-only check was logically
incorrect and could cause:
- Stale inode issues across the cluster
- Potential hangs where nodes wait indefinitely for glock release
- Cluster coordination failures

### 3. CLASSIFICATION

- **Bug type:** Logic error - incorrect early return preventing required
  cluster coordination
- **Not a feature:** Removing an incorrect check doesn't add
  functionality
- **Security impact:** Not directly security-related, but could cause
  availability issues

### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT

| Metric | Assessment |
|--------|------------|
| Lines changed | 2 lines (trivial) |
| Files touched | 1 file |
| Complexity | Very low |
| Subsystem | GFS2 (clustered filesystem) |
| Regression risk | Very low |

The change is extremely surgical - it only removes an erroneous
condition. The remaining code path already exists and has been tested;
this fix just ensures it executes when it should.

### 5. USER IMPACT

- **Affected users:** GFS2 users in clustered environments with read-
  only mounts
- **Use case:** Enterprise clusters (Red Hat, etc.) that use GFS2
- **Severity:** Could cause cluster coordination failures, stale inodes,
  or hangs
- **Frequency:** Affects all read-only GFS2 mounts in cluster mode

### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS

- Written by Andreas Gruenbacher, the GFS2 maintainer who deeply
  understands the subsystem
- The fix logic is obviously correct based on the documented behavior
- Small change means easy to verify correctness

### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK

- No dependencies on other commits
- The `iopen_go_callback()` function and `sb_rdonly()` exist in all
  stable kernels with GFS2 support
- Clean backport expected (simple line removal)

### Risk vs Benefit Analysis

**Benefits:**
- Fixes a real bug affecting cluster coordination
- Prevents potential hangs and stale inode issues
- Restores correct cluster protocol behavior

**Risks:**
- Extremely low - the change simply allows existing, tested code to run
- Only affects GFS2, a specialized filesystem
- The maintainer clearly understands the impact

### Conclusion

Despite the lack of explicit "Cc: stable" tag, this commit:
1. ✅ Is obviously correct (removing incorrect logic)
2. ✅ Fixes a real bug affecting cluster coordination
3. ✅ Is small and contained (2 lines)
4. ✅ Does not introduce new features
5. ✅ Will apply cleanly to stable trees
6. ✅ Has minimal regression risk

The fix addresses a genuine bug that can cause cluster coordination
failures in GFS2. The change is trivially small, written by the
subsystem maintainer, and the logic is clearly correct - read-only
status should not prevent a node from properly responding to cluster
glock demote requests.

**YES**
