2008-09-18GFS2: high time to take some time over atimeSteven Whitehouse
Until now, we've used the same scheme as GFS1 for atime. This has failed since atime is a per vfsmnt flag, not a per fs flag and as such the "noatime" flag was not getting passed down to the filesystems. This patch removes all the "special casing" around atime updates and we simply use the VFS's atime code. The net result is that GFS2 will now support all the same atime related mount options of any other filesystem on a per-vfsmnt basis. We do lose the "lazy atime" updates, but we gain "relatime". We could add lazy atime to the VFS at a later date, if there is a requirement for that variant still - I suspect relatime will be enough. Also we lose about 100 lines of code after this patch has been applied, and I have a suspicion that it will speed things up a bit, even when atime is "on". So it seems like a nice clean up as well. From a user perspective, everything stays the same except the loss of the per-fs atime quantum tweekable (ought to be per-vfsmnt at the very least, and to be honest I don't think anybody ever used it) and that a number of options which were ignored before now work correctly. Please let me know if you've got any comments. I'm pushing this out early so that you can all see what my plans are. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-09-05GFS2: Fix race relating to glock min-hold timeSteven Whitehouse
In the case that a request for a glock arrives right after the grant reply has arrived, it sometimes means that the gl_tstamp field hasn't been updated recently enough. The net result is that the min-hold time for the glock is ignored. If this happens often enough, it leads to poor performance. This patch adds an additional test, so that if the reply pending bit is set on a glock, then it will select the maximum length of time for the min-hold time, rather than looking at gl_tstamp.

2008-08-13GFS2: Fix debugfs glock file iteratorSteven Whitehouse

2008-07-07[GFS2] Allow local DF locks when holding a cached EX glockSteven Whitehouse
We already allow local SH locks while we hold a cached EX glock, so here we allow DF locks as well. This works only because we rely on the VFS's invalidation for locally cached data, and because if we hold an EX lock, then we know that no other node can be caching data relating to this file. It dramatically speeds up initial writes to O_DIRECT files since we fall back to buffered I/O for this and would otherwise bounce between DF and EX modes on each and every write call. The lessons to be learned from that are to ensure that (for the time being anyway) O_DIRECT files are preallocated and that they are written to using reasonably large I/O sizes. Even so this change fixes that corner case nicely Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-07-07[GFS2] Fix delayed demote raceSteven Whitehouse
There is a race in the delayed demote code where it does the wrong thing if a demotion to UN has occurred for other reasons before the delay has expired. This patch adds an assert to catch that condition as well as fixing the root cause by adding an additional check for the UN state.

2008-06-27[GFS2] Remove remote lock dropping codeSteven Whitehouse
There are several reasons why this is undesirable: 1. It never happens during normal operation anyway 2. If it does happen it causes performance to be very, very poor 3. It isn't likely to solve the original problem (memory shortage on remote DLM node) it was supposed to solve 4. It uses a bunch of arbitrary constants which are unlikely to be correct for any particular situation and for which the tuning seems to be a black art. 5. In an N node cluster, only 1/N of the dropped locked will actually contribute to solving the problem on average. So all in all we are better off without it. This also makes merging the lock_dlm module into GFS2 a bit easier. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-06-27[GFS2] No lock_nolockSteven Whitehouse
This patch merges the lock_nolock module into GFS2 itself. As well as removing some of the overhead of the module, it also means that its now impossible to build GFS2 without a lock module (which would be a pointless thing to do anyway). We also plan to merge lock_dlm into GFS2 in the future, but that is a more tricky task, and will therefore be a separate patch.

2008-06-27[GFS2] Clean up the glock coreSteven Whitehouse
This patch implements a number of cleanups to the core of the GFS2 glock code. As a result a lot of code is removed. It looks like a really big change, but actually a large part of this patch is either removing or moving existing code. There are some new bits too though, such as the new run_queue() function which is considerably streamlined. Highlights of this patch include: o Fixes a cluster coherency bug during SH -> EX lock conversions o Removes the "glmutex" code in favour of a single bit lock o Removes the ->go_xmote_bh() for inodes since it was duplicating ->go_lock() o We now only use the ->lm_lock() function for both locks and unlocks (i.e. unlock is a lock with target mode LM_ST_UNLOCKED) o The fast path is considerably shortly, giving performance gains especially with lock_nolock o The glock_workqueue is now used for all the callbacks from the DLM which allows us to simplify the lock_dlm module (see following patch) o The way is now open to make further changes such as eliminating the two threads (gfs2_glockd and gfs2_scand) in favour of a more efficient scheme. This patch has undergone extensive testing with various test suites so it should be pretty stable by now. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>
2008-03-31[GFS2] Invalidate cache at correct pointBenjamin Marzinski
GFS2 wasn't invalidating its cache before it called into the lock manager with a request that could potentially drop a lock. This was leaving a window where the lock could be actually be held by another node, but the file's page cache would still appear valid, causing coherency problems. This patch moves the cache invalidation to before the lock manager call when dropping a lock. It also adds the option to the lock_dlm lock manager to not use conversion mode deadlock avoidance, which, on a conversion from shared to exclusive, could internally drop the lock, and then reacquire in. GFS2 now asks lock_dlm to not do this. Instead, GFS2 manually drops the lock and reacquires it.

2008-03-31[GFS2] Fix bug where we called drop_bh incorrectlySteven Whitehouse
As a result of an earlier patch, drop_bh was being called in cases when it shouldn't have been.

2008-03-31[GFS2] Remove lm.[ch] and distribute contentSteven Whitehouse
The functions in lm.c were just wrappers which were mostly only used in one other file. By moving the functions to the files where they are being used, they can be marked static and also this will usually result in them being inlined since they are often only used from one point in the code. A couple of really trivial functions have been inlined by hand into the function which called them as it makes the code clearer to do that. We also gain from one fewer function call in the glock lock and unlock paths. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2008-01-25[GFS2] Reorganize function gfs2_glmutex_lockBob Peterson
This patch optimizes the function gfs2_glmutex_lock. The basic theory is: Why bother initializing a holder, setting up wait bits and then waiting on them, if you know the glock can be yours. So the holder stuff is placed inside the if checking if the glock is locked. This one needs careful scrutiny because changing anything to do with locking should strike terror into one's heart.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Fix runtime issue with UP kernelsFabio Massimo Di Nitto
The issue is indeed UP vs SMP and it is totally random. spin_is_locked() is a bad assertion because there is no correct answer on UP. on UP spin_is_locked() has to return either one value or another, always. This means that in my setup I am lucky enough to trigger the issue and your you are lucky enough not to. the patch in attachment removes the bogus calls to BUG_ON and according to David (in CC and thanks for the long explanation on the problem) we can rely upon things like lockdep to find problem that might be trying to catch.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Don't add glocks to the journalSteven Whitehouse
The only reason for adding glocks to the journal was to keep track of which locks required a log flush prior to release. We add a flag to the glock to allow this check to be made in a simpler way. This reduces the size of a glock (by 12 bytes on i386, 24 on x86_64) and means that we can avoid extra work during the journal flush. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-01-25[GFS2] Remove flags no longer requiredSteven Whitehouse
The HIF_MUTEX and HIF_PROMOTE flags were set on the glock holders depending upon which of the two waiters lists they were going to be queued upon. They were then tested when the holders were taken off the lists to ensure that the right type of holder was being dequeued. Since we are already using separate lists, there doesn't seem a lot of point having these flags as well, and since setting them and testing them is in the fast path for locking and unlocking glock, this patch removes them.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Reorder writeback for glock syncSteven Whitehouse
Previously we were doing (write data, wait for data, write metadata, wait for metadata). After this patch we so (write metadata, write data, wait for data, wait for metadata) which should be more efficient. Also I noticed that the drop_bh and xmote_bh functions were almost identical. In fact the only difference was a single test, and that test is such that in the drop_bh case, it would always evaluate to the correct result. As such we can use the xmote_bh functions in all the places where we were using the drop_bh function and remove the drop_bh functions. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-01-25[GFS2] Remove "reclaim limit"Steven Whitehouse
This call to reclaim glocks is not needed, and in particular we don't want it in the fast path for locking glocks.

Fix a race condition where multiple glock demote requests are sent to a node back-to-back. This patch does a check inside handle_callback() to see whether a demote request is in progress.

2007-10-10[GFS2] flocks from same process trip kernel BUG at fs/gfs2/glock.c:1118!Abhijith Das
This patch adds a new flag to the gfs2_holder structure GL_FLOCK. It is set on holders of glocks representing flocks. This flag is checked in add_to_queue() and a process is permitted to queue more than one holder onto a glock if it is set. This solves the issue of a process not being able to do multiple flocks on the same file. Through a single descriptor, a process can now promote and demote flocks. Through multiple descriptors a process can now queue multiple flocks on the same file. There's still the problem of a process deadlocking itself (because gfs2 blocking locks are not interruptible) by queueing incompatible deadlock.

2007-10-10[GFS2] delay glock demote for a minimum hold timeBenjamin Marzinski
When a lot of IO, with some distributed mmap IO, is run on a GFS2 filesystem in a cluster, it will deadlock. The reason is that do_no_page() will repeatedly call gfs2_sharewrite_nopage(), because each node keeps giving up the glock too early, and is forced to call unmap_mapping_range(). This bumps the mapping->truncate_count sequence count, forcing do_no_page() to retry. This patch institutes a minimum glock hold time a tenth a second. This insures that even in heavy contention cases, the node has enough time to get some useful work done before it gives up the glock. A second issue is that when gfs2_glock_dq() is called from within a page fault to demote a lock, and the associated page needs to be written out, it will try to acqire a lock on it, but it has already been locked at a higher level. This patch puts makes gfs2_glock_dq() use the work queue as well, to avoid this issue. This is the same patch as Steve Whitehouse originally proposed to fix this issue, execpt that gfs2_glock_dq() now grabs a reference to the glock before it queues up the work on it.

2007-10-10[GFS2] Fix two races relating to glock callbacksSteven Whitehouse
One of the races relates to referencing a variable while not holding its protecting spinlock. The patch simply moves the test inside the spin lock. The other races occurs when a demote to unlocked request occurs during the time a demote to shared request is already running. This of course only happens in the case that the lock was in the exclusive mode to start with. The patch adds a check to see if another demote request has occurred in the mean time and if it has, then it performs a second demote. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-07-09[GFS2] Simplify multiple glock aquisitionSteven Whitehouse
There is a bug in the code which acquires multiple glocks where if the initial out-of-order attempt fails part way though we can land up trying to acquire the wrong number of glocks. This is part of the fix for red hat bz #239737. The other part of the bz doesn't apply to upstream kernels since it was fixed by: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=d3717bdf8f08a0e1039158c8bab2c24d20f492b6 Since the out-of-order code doesn't appear to add anything to the performance of GFS2, this patch just removed it rather than trying to fix it. It should be much easier to see whats going on here now. In addition, we don't allocate any memory unless we are using a lot of glocks (which is a relatively uncommon case).

2007-07-09[GFS2] Fix deallocation issuesAbhijith Das
There were two issues during deallocation of unlinked inodes. The first was relating to the use of a "try" lock which in the case of the inode lock wasn't trying hard enough to deallocate in all circumstances (now changed to a normal glock) and in the case of the iopen lock didn't wait for the demotion of the shared lock before attempting to get the exclusive lock, and thereby sometimes (timing dependent) not completing the deallocation when it should have done. The second issue related to the lack of a way to invalidate dcache entries on remote nodes (now fixed by this patch) which meant that unlinks were taking a long time to return disk space to the fs. By adding some code to invalidate the dcache entries across the cluster for unlinked inodes, that is now fixed. This patch was written jointly by Abhijith Das and Steven Whitehouse.

2007-07-09[GFS2] Clean up inode number handlingSteven Whitehouse
This patch cleans up the inode number handling code. The main difference is that instead of looking up the inodes using a struct gfs2_inum_host we now use just the no_addr member of this structure. The tests relating to no_formal_ino can then be done by the calling code. This has advantages in that we want to do different things in different code paths if the no_formal_ino doesn't match. In the NFS patch we want to return -ESTALE, but in the ->lookup() path, its a bug in the fs if the no_formal_ino doesn't match and thus we can withdraw in this case. In order to later fix bz #201012, we need to be able to look up an inode without knowing no_formal_ino, as the only information that is known to us is the on-disk location of the inode in question. This patch will also help us to fix bz #236099 at a later date by cleaning up a lot of the code in that area. There are no user visible changes as a result of this patch and there are no changes to the on-disk format either. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

It fixes a problem that Dave Teigland pointed out regarding the external declarations in ops_address.h being in the wrong place. 3. It recasts a couple more %llu printks to (unsigned long long) as requested by Steve Whitehouse.

2007-05-01[GFS2] lockdump improvementsRobert Peterson
The patch below consists of the following changes (in code order): 1. I fixed a minor compiler warning regarding the printing of a kernel symbol address. 2. I implemented a suggestion from Dave Teigland that moves the debugfs information for gfs2 into a subdirectory so we can easily expand our use of debugfs in the future. The current code keeps the glock information in: /debug/gfs2/<fs> With the patch, the new code keeps the glock information in: /debug/gfs2/<fs>/glock That will allow us to create more debugfs files in the future. 3. This fixes a bug whereby a failed mount attempt causes the debugfs file to not be deleted. Failed mount attempts should always clean up after themselves, including deleting the debugfs file and/or directory.

2007-05-01[GFS2] Red Hat bz 228540: owner referencesRobert Peterson
In Testing the previously posted and accepted patch for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228540 I uncovered some gfs2 badness. It turns out that the current gfs2 code saves off a process pointer when glocks is taken in both the glock and glock holder structures. Those structures will persist in memory long after the process has ended; pointers to poisoned memory. This problem isn't caused by the 228540 fix; the new capability introduced by the fix just uncovered the problem. I wrote this patch that avoids saving process pointers and instead saves off the process pid. Rather than referencing the bad pointers, it now does process lookups. There is special code that makes the output nicer for printing holder information for processes that have ended. This patch also adds a stub for the new "sprint_symbol" function that exists in Andrew Morton's -mm patch set, but won't go into the base kernel until 2.6.22, since it adds functionality but doesn't fix a bug.

This patch prevents the printing of a warning message in cases where the fs is functioning normally by handing off responsibility for unlinked, but still open inodes, to another node for eventual deallocation. Also, there is now an improved system for ensuring that such requests to other nodes do not get lost. The callback on the iopen lock is only ever called when i_nlink == 0 and when a node is unable to deallocate it due to it still being in use on another node. When a node receives the callback therefore, it knows that i_nlink must be zero, so we mark it as such (in gfs2_drop_inode) in order that it will then attempt deallocation of the inode itself. As an additional benefit, queuing a demote request no longer requires a memory allocation. This simplifies the code for dealing with gfs2_holders as it removes one special case. There are two new fields in struct gfs2_glock. gl_demote_state is the state which the remote node has requested and gl_demote_time is the time when the request came in. Both fields are only valid when the GLF_DEMOTE flag is set in gl_flags. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2007-05-01[GFS2] Add gfs2_tool lockdump support to gfs2 (bz 228540)Robert Peterson
The attached patch resolves bz 228540. This adds the capability for gfs2 to dump gfs2 locks through the debugfs file system. This used to exist in gfs1 as "gfs_tool lockdump" but it's missing from gfs2 because all the ioctls were stripped out. Please see the bugzilla for more history about the fix. This patch is also attached to the bugzilla record. The patch is against Steve Whitehouse's latest nmw git tree kernel (2.6.21-rc1) and has been tested on system trin-10.
