2009-12-03GFS2: Fix glock refcount issuesSteven Whitehouse
This patch fixes some ref counting issues. Firstly by moving the point at which we drop the ref count after a dlm lock operation has completed we ensure that we never call gfs2_glock_hold() on a lock with a zero ref count. Secondly, by using atomic_dec_and_lock() in gfs2_glock_put() we ensure that at no time will a glock with zero ref count appear on the lru_list. That means that we can remove the check for this in our shrinker (which was racy). Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-12-03writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks (gfs2)Wu Fengguang

2009-12-03GFS2: drop rindex glock to refresh rindex listBenjamin Marzinski
When a gfs2 filesystem is grown, it needs to rebuild the rindex list to be able to use the new space. gfs2 does this when the rindex is marked not uptodate, which happens when the rindex glock is dropped. However, on a single node setup, there is never any reason to drop the rindex glock, so gfs2 never invalidates the the rindex. This patch makes gfs2 automatically drop the rindex glock after filesystem grows, so it can refresh the rindex list.

2009-12-03GFS2: Tag all metadata with jidSteven Whitehouse
There are two spare field in the header common to all GFS2 metadata. One is just the right size to fit a journal id in it, and this patch updates the journal code so that each time a metadata block is modified, we tag it with the journal id of the node which is performing the modification. The reason for this is that it should make it much easier to debug issues which arise if we can tell which node was the last to modify a particular metadata block. Since the field is updated before the block is written into the journal, each journal should only contain metadata which is tagged with its own journal id. The one exception to this is the journal header block, which might have a different node's id in it, if that journal was recovered by another node in the cluster. Thus each journal will contain a record of which nodes recovered it, via the journal header. The other field in the metadata header could potentially be used to hold information about what kind of operation was performed, but for the time being we just zero it on each transaction so that if we use it for that in future, we'll know that the information (where it exists) is reliable. I did consider using the other field to hold the journal sequence number, however since in GFS2's journaling we write the modified data into the journal and not the original data, this gives no information as to what action caused the modification, so I think we can probably come up with a better use for those 64 bits in the future.

2009-12-03GFS2: Locking order fix in gfs2_check_blk_stateSteven Whitehouse
In some cases we already have the rindex lock when we enter this function. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-12-03GFS2: Remove dirent_first() functionSteven Whitehouse
This function only had one caller left, and that caller only called it for leaf blocks, hence one branch of the "if" was never taken. In addition the call to get_left had already verified the metadata type, so the function can be reduced to a single line of code in its caller. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-12-03GFS2: Display nobarrier option in /proc/mountsSteven Whitehouse

2009-12-03GFS2: add barrier/nobarrier mount optionsChristoph Hellwig
Currently gfs2 issues barrier unconditionally. There are various reasons to disable them, be that just for testing or for stupid devices flushing large battert backed caches. Add a nobarrier option that matches xfs and btrfs for this. Also add a symmetric barrier option to turn it back on at remount time.

2009-12-03GFS2: Improve statfs and quota usabilityBenjamin Marzinski
GFS2 now has three new mount options, statfs_quantum, quota_quantum and statfs_percent. statfs_quantum and quota_quantum simply allow you to set the tunables of the same name. Setting setting statfs_quantum to 0 will also turn on the statfs_slow tunable. statfs_percent accepts an integer between 0 and 100. Numbers between 1 and 100 will cause GFS2 to do any early sync when the local number of blocks free changes by at least statfs_percent from the totoal number of blocks free. Setting statfs_percent to 0 disables this. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-12-03GFS2: Use dquot_send_warning()Steven Whitehouse
This adds support to GFS2 to send quota warnings via netlink. Also it removes a stray \r which was left over from when the code used to print warnings on the console. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-12-03VFS: Export dquot_send_warningSteven Whitehouse
Sending a message to userspace in a generic format to warn of events (e.g. quota exceeded) in the quota subsystem is a generically useful feature. This patch makes some minor changes to the send_message function from dquot.c renaming it quota_send_message, moving it to quota.c and exporting it for use by filesystems which do not use the dquot code.

2009-12-03GFS2: Add get_xquota supportSteven Whitehouse

2009-12-03GFS2: Clean up gfs2_adjust_quota() and do_glock()Steven Whitehouse
Both of these functions contained confusing and in one case duplicate code. This patch adds a new check in do_glock() so that we report -ENOENT if we are asked to sync a quota entry which doesn't exist. Due to the previous patch this is now reported correctly to userspace. Also there are a few new comments, and I hope that the code is easier to understand now. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2009-12-03GFS2: Hook gfs2_quota_sync into VFS via gfs2_quotactl_opsSteven Whitehouse
The plan is to add further operations to the gfs2_quotactl_ops in future patches. The sync operation is easy, so we start with that one. We plan to use the XFS quota control functions because they more closely match the GFS2 ones. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-12-03GFS2: Alter arguments of gfs2_quota/statfs_syncSteven Whitehouse
These two functions are altered so that gfs2_quota_sync may in future be called directly from the VFS. The GFS2 superblock changes to a VFS super block and there is an addition of an int argument which is currently ignored. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-12-03VFS: Use GFP_NOFS in posix_acl_from_xattr()Steven Whitehouse
GFS2 needs to call this from under a glock, so we need GFP_NOFS and I suspect that other filesystems might require this too. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-12-03GFS2: Add cached ACLs supportSteven Whitehouse
The other patches in this series have been building towards being able to support cached ACLs like other filesystems. The only real difference with GFS2 is that we have to invalidate the cache when we drop a glock, but that is dealt with in earlier patches. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-12-03GFS2: Clean up ACLsSteven Whitehouse
To prepare for support for caching of ACLs, this cleans up the GFS2 ACL support by pushing the xattr code back into xattr.c and changing the acl_get function into one which only returns ACLs so that we can drop the caching function into it shortly.

2009-12-03GFS2: Fix -o meta mounts for subsequent mounts (i.e. all but the first one)Steven Whitehouse
We have a long term plan to use the "-o meta" flag to GFS2 mounts to access the alternate root which is used to store metadata for a GFS2 filesystem. This will allow us to eventually remove support for the gfs2meta filesystem type (which is in any case just a "front end" to the gfs2 filesystem type with the meta/master root). Currently the "-o meta" option is only taken into account on the initial mount of the filesystem. Subsequent mounts of the same filesystem (i.e. on the same device) result in basically the same as bind mounting the root of the original mount. This patch changes that by using what is more or less a copy of get_sb_bdev() and extending it so that it will take into account the alternate root in all cases. The main difference is that we have to parse the mount options a bit earlier. We can then use them to select the appropriate root towards the end of the function. In addition this also fixes a bug where it was possible (but certainly not desirable) to set different ro/rw options for the meta root when mounted via the gfs2meta fs compared with the original mount.

2009-12-03x86, Calgary IOMMU quirk: Find nearest matching Calgary while walking up the ↵Darrick J. Wong
PCI tree On a multi-node x3950M2 system, there's a slight oddity in the PCI device tree for all secondary nodes: 30:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev e1) \-33:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM CalIOC2 PCI-E Root Port (rev 01) \-34:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 1078 (rev 04) ...as compared to the primary node: 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev e1) \-01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc ES1000 (rev 02) 03:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM CalIOC2 PCI-E Root Port (rev 01) \-04:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 1078 (rev 04) In both nodes, the LSI RAID controller hangs off a CalIOC2 device, but on the secondary nodes, the BIOS hides the VGA device and substitutes the device tree ending with the disk controller. It would seem that Calgary devices don't necessarily appear at the top of the PCI tree, which means that the current code to find the Calgary IOMMU that goes with a particular device is buggy. Rather than walk all the way to the top of the PCI device tree and try to match bus number with Calgary descriptor, the code needs to examine each parent of the particular device; if it encounters a Calgary with a matching bus number, simply use that. Otherwise, we BUG() when the bus number of the Calgary doesn't match the bus number of whatever's at the top of the device tree.

Enable a fourth level of rcu_node hierarchy for TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. This is for stress-testing and experiemental purposes only, although in theory this would enable 16,777,216 CPUs on 64-bit systems, though only 1,048,576 CPUs on 32-bit systems. Normal experimental use of this fourth level will normally set CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=2, requiring a 16-CPU system, though the more adventurous (and more fortunate) experimenters may wish to chose CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=3 for 81-CPU systems or even CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=4 for 256-CPU systems.

2009-12-03rcu: Rename "quiet" functionsPaul E. McKenney
The number of "quiet" functions has grown recently, and the names are no longer very descriptive. The point of all of these functions is to do some portion of the task of reporting a quiescent state, so rename them accordingly: o cpu_quiet() becomes rcu_report_qs_rdp(), which reports a quiescent state to the per-CPU rcu_data structure. If this turns out to be a new quiescent state for this grace period, then rcu_report_qs_rnp() will be invoked to propagate the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. o cpu_quiet_msk() becomes rcu_report_qs_rnp(), which reports a quiescent state for a given CPU (or possibly a set of CPUs) up the rcu_node hierarchy. o cpu_quiet_msk_finish() becomes rcu_report_qs_rsp(), which reports a full set of quiescent states to the global rcu_state structure. o task_quiet() becomes rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp(), which reports a quiescent state due to a task exiting an RCU read-side critical section that had previously blocked in that same critical section. As indicated by the new name, this type of quiescent state is reported up the rcu_node hierarchy (using rcu_report_qs_rnp() to do so). Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-12-02modules: don't export section names of empty sections via sysfsHelge Deller
On the parisc architecture we face for each and every loaded kernel module this kernel "badness warning": sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/ac97_bus/sections/.text' Badness at fs/sysfs/dir.c:487 Reason for that is, that on parisc all kernel modules do have multiple .text sections due to the usage of the -ffunction-sections compiler flag which is needed to reach all jump targets on this platform. An objdump on such a kernel module gives: Sections: Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn 0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024 00000000 00000000 00000034 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA 1 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000058 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 2 .text.ac97_bus_match 0000001c 00000000 00000000 00000058 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 3 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 000000d4 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE ... Since the .text sections are empty (size of 0 bytes) and won't be loaded by the kernel module loader anyway, I don't see a reason why such sections need to be listed under /sys/module/<module_name>/sections/<section_name> either. The attached patch does solve this issue by not exporting section names which are empty.
