2009-08-04Make SCSI SG v4 driver enabled by default and remove EXPERIMENTAL ↵John Stoffel
dependency, since udev depends on BSG Make Block Layer SG support v4 the default, since recent udev versions depend on this to access serial numbers and other low level info properly. This should be backported to older kernels as well, since most distros have enabled this for a long time.

2009-07-31xfs: reduce bmv_count in xfs_vn_fiemapEric Sandeen
commit 6321e3ed2acf3ee9643cdd403e1c88605d7944ba caused the full bmv_count's worth of getbmapx structures to get allocated; telling it to do MAXEXTNUM was a bit insane, resulting in ENOMEM every time. Chop it down to something reasonable, the number of slots in the caller's input buffer. If this is too large the caller may get ENOMEM but the reason should not be a mystery, and they can try again with something smaller. We add 1 to the value because in the normal getbmap world, bmv_count includes the header and xfs_getbmap does: nex = bmv->bmv_count - 1; if (nex <= 0) return XFS_ERROR(EINVAL); Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@sandeen.net> Reviewed-by: Olaf Weber <olaf@sgi.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Felix Blyakher <felixb@sgi.com>

blocks VAT inode is located in the last block recorded block of the medium. When the drive errorneously reports number of recorded blocks, we failed to load the VAT inode and thus mount the medium.

2009-07-30Btrfs: be more polite in the async caching threadsChris Mason

2009-07-30Btrfs: preserve commit_root for async cachingYan Zheng
The async block group caching code uses the commit_root pointer to get a stable version of the extent allocation tree for scanning. This copy of the tree root isn't going to change and it significantly reduces the complexity of the scanning code. During a commit, we have a loop where we update the extent allocation tree root. We need to loop because updating the root pointer in the tree of tree roots may allocate blocks which may change the extent allocation tree. Right now the commit_root pointer is changed inside this loop. It is more correct to change the commit_root pointer only after all the looping is done.

2009-07-30GFS2: remove dcache entries for remote deleted inodesBenjamin Marzinski
When a file is deleted from a gfs2 filesystem on one node, a dcache entry for it may still exist on other nodes in the cluster. If this happens, gfs2 will be unable to free this file on disk. Because of this, it's possible to have a gfs2 filesystem with no files on it and no free space. With this patch, when a node receives a callback notifying it that the file is being deleted on another node, it schedules a new workqueue thread to remove the file's dcache entry.

2009-07-30GFS2: Fix incorrent statfs consistency checkBenjamin Marzinski
Since both linked and unlinked inodes are counted by rgd->rd_dinodes, It makes no sense to count them with the used data blocks (first check that I changed), it makes sense to count them with the linked inodes (second check), and it makes no sense to care if there are more unlinked inodes than linked ones.

2009-07-30GFS2: Don't put unlikely reclaim candidates on the reclaim list.Benjamin Marzinski
GFS2 was placing far too many glocks on the reclaim list that were not good candidates for freeing up from cache. These locks would sit there and repeatedly get scanned to see if they could be reclaimed, wasting a lot of time when there was memory pressure. This fix does more checks on the locks to see if they are actually likely to be removable from cache.

2009-07-30GFS2: Don't try and dealloc own inodeSteven Whitehouse
When searching for unlinked, but still allocated inodes during block allocation, avoid the block relating to the inode that is doing the allocation. This fixes a hang caused when an unlinked, but still open, inode tries to allocate some more blocks and lands up finding itself during the search for deallocatable inodes. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-07-30GFS2: Fix panic in glock memory shrinkerBenjamin Marzinski
It is possible for gfs2_shrink_glock_memory() to check a glock for demotion that's in the process of being freed by gfs2_glock_put(). In this case, gfs2_shrink_glock_memory() will acquire a new reference to this glock, and then try to free the glock itself when it drops the refernce. To solve this, gfs2_shrink_glock_memory() just needs to check if the glock is in the process of being freed, and if so skip it without ever unlocking the lru_lock.

2009-07-30GFS2: keep statfs info in sync on growsBenjamin Marzinski
GFS2 wasn't syncing its statfs info on grows. This causes a problem when you grow the filesystem on multiple nodes. GFS2 would calculate the new space based on the resource groups (which are always current), and then assume that the filesystem had grown the from the existing statfs size. If you grew the filesystem on two different nodes in a short time, the second node wouldn't see the statfs size change from the first node, and would assume that it was grown by a larger amount than it was. When all these changes were synced out, the total fileystem size would be incorrect (the first grow would be counted twice). This patch syncs makes GFS2 read in the statfs changes from disk before a grow, and write them out after the grow, while the master statfs inode is locked.

2009-07-30GFS2: Shrink the shrinkerSteven Whitehouse

This makes the list scanning more efficient and solves some issues seen with large numbers of inodes. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
