2008-07-10[GFS2] Remove support for unused and pointless flagSteven Whitehouse
The ability to mark files for direct i/o access when opened normally is both unused and pointless, so this patch removes support for that feature. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-07-10[GFS2] Replace rgrp "recent list" with mru listSteven Whitehouse
This patch removes the "recent list" which is used during allocation and replaces it with the (already existing) mru list used during deletion. The "recent list" was not a true mru list leading to a number of inefficiencies including a "next" function which made scanning the list an order N^2 operation wrt to the number of list elements. This should increase allocation performance with large numbers of rgrps. Its also a useful preparation and cleanup before some further changes which are planned in this area.

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>
2008-05-12[GFS2] filesystem consistency error from do_stripBob Peterson
This patch fixes a GFS2 filesystem consistency error reported from function do_strip. The problem was caused by a timing window that allowed two vfs inodes to be created in memory that point to the same file. The problem is fixed by making the vfs's iget_test, iget_set mechanism check and set a new bit in the in-core gfs2_inode structure while the vfs inode spin_lock is held.

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] Eliminate (almost) duplicate field from gfs2_inodeSteven Whitehouse
The blocks counter is almost a duplicate of the i_blocks field in the VFS inode. The only difference is that i_blocks can be only 32bits long for 32bit arch without large single file support. Since GFS2 doesn't handle the non-large single file case (for 32 bit anyway) this adds a new config dependency on 64BIT || LSF. This has always been the case, however we've never explicitly said so before. Even if we do add support for the non-LSF case, we will still not require this field to be duplicated since we will not be able to access oversized files anyway. So the net result of all this is that we shave 8 bytes from a gfs2_inode and get our config deps correct. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-03-31[GFS2] Merge the rd_last_alloc_meta and rd_last_alloc_data fieldsSteven Whitehouse
We don't need to keep track of when we last allocated data and metadata separately since the only thing thats important when searching for a free block is whether its free or not, which is independent from what type of block it is. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-03-31[GFS2] Reduce inode size by merging fieldsSteven Whitehouse
There were three fields being used to keep track of the location of the most recently allocated block for each inode. These have been merged into a single field in order to better keep the data and metadata for an inode close on disk, and also to reduce the space required for storage.

2008-03-31[GFS2] Shrink & rename di_depthSteven Whitehouse
This patch forms a pair with the previous patch which shrunk di_height. Like that patch di_depth is renamed i_depth and moved into struct gfs2_inode directly. Also the field goes from 16 bits to 8 bits since it is also limited to a max value which is rather small (17 in this case). In addition we also now validate the field against this maximum value when its read in. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-03-31[GFS2] Remove rgrp and glock version numbersBob Peterson

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>

2008-03-31[GFS2] Only do lo_incore_commit onceBob Peterson
This patch is performance related. When we're doing a log flush, I noticed we were calling buf_lo_incore_commit twice: once for data bufs and once for metadata bufs. Since this is the same function and does the same thing in both cases, there should be no reason to call it twice. Since we only need to call it once, we can also make it faster by removing it from the generic "lops" code and making it a stand-along static function.

2008-03-31[GFS2] Streamline indirect pointer tree height calculationSteven Whitehouse
This patch improves the calculation of the tree height in order to reduce the number of operations which are carried out on each call to gfs2_block_map. In the common case, we now make a single comparison, rather than calculating the required tree height from scratch each time. Also in the case that the tree does need some extra height, we start from the current height rather from zero when we work out what the new height ought to be. In addition the di_height field is moved into the inode proper and reduced in size to a u8 since the value must be between 0 and GFS2_MAX_META_HEIGHT (10).

2008-01-25[GFS2] Remove unneeded i_spinBob Peterson
This patch removes a vestigial variable "i_spin" from the gfs2_inode structure. This not only saves us memory (>300000 of these in memory for the oom test) it also saves us time because we don't have to spend time initializing it (i.e. slightly better performance).

2008-01-25[GFS2] Reduce inode size by moving i_alloc out of lineSteven Whitehouse
It is possible to reduce the size of GFS2 inodes by taking the i_alloc structure out of the gfs2_inode. This patch allocates the i_alloc structure whenever its needed, and frees it afterward. This decreases the amount of low memory we use at the expense of requiring a memory allocation for each page or partial page that we write. A quick test with postmark shows that the overhead is not measurable and I also note that OCFS2 use the same approach. In the future I'd like to solve the problem by shrinking down the size of the members of the i_alloc structure, but for now, this reduces the immediate problem of using too much low-memory on x86 and doesn't add too much overhead.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Journal extent mappingBob Peterson
This patch saves a little time when gfs2 writes to the journals by keeping a mapping between logical and physical blocks on disk. That's better than constantly looking up indirect pointers in buffers, when the journals are several levels of indirection (which they typically are).

2008-01-25[GFS2] Don't periodically update the jindexSteven Whitehouse
We only care about the content of the jindex in two cases, one is when we mount the fs and the other is when we need to recover another journal. In both cases we have to update the jindex anyway, so there is no point in updating it periodically between times, so this removes it to simplify gfs2_logd.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Use atomic_t for journal free blocks counterSteven Whitehouse

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. 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. The limit was entirely arbitrary anyway and we can't expect users to adjust things like this, the remaining code will do the right thing on its own.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Add gfs2_is_writeback()Steven Whitehouse
This adds a function "gfs2_is_writeback()" along the lines of the existing "gfs2_is_jdata()" in order to clean up the code and make the various tests for the inode mode more obvious. It also fixes the PageChecked() logic where we were resetting the flag too early in the case of an error path. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2008-01-25[GFS2] Remove useless i_cache from inodesSteven Whitehouse
The i_cache was designed to keep references to the indirect blocks used during block mapping so that they didn't have to be looked up continually. The idea failed because there are too many places where the i_cache needs to be freed, and this has in the past been the cause of many bugs. In addition there was no performance benefit being gained since the disk blocks in question were cached anyway. So this patch removes it in order to simplify the code to prepare for other changes which would otherwise have had to add further support for this feature. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-01-25[GFS2] Use ->page_mkwrite() for mmap()Steven Whitehouse
This cleans up the mmap() code path for GFS2 by implementing the page_mkwrite function for GFS2. We are thus able to use the generic filemap_fault function for our ->fault() implementation. This now means that shared writable mappings will be much more efficiently shared across the cluster if there is a reasonable proportion of read activity (the greater proportion, the better). As a side effect, it also reduces the size of the code, removes special cases from readpage and readpages, and makes the code path easier to follow.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Handle multiple glock demote requestsWendy Cheng
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. If true, it sets a flag to make sure run_queue() will loop again to handle the new request, instead of erronously setting gl_demote_state to a different state. Signed-off-by: S.

2007-10-10[GFS2] Clean up journaled data writingSteven Whitehouse
This patch cleans up the code for writing journaled data into the log. It also removes the need to allocate a small "tag" structure for each block written into the log. Instead we just keep count of the outstanding I/O so that we can be sure that its all been written at the correct time. Another result of this patch is that a number of ll_rw_block() calls have become submit_bh() calls, closing some races at the same time. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-10-10[GFS2] Replace revoke structure with bufdata structureSteven Whitehouse
Both the revoke structure and the bufdata structure are quite similar. They are basically small tags which are put on lists. In addition to which the revoke structure is always allocated when there is a bufdata structure which is (or can be) freed. As such it should be possible to reduce the number of frees and allocations by using the same structure for both purposes. This patch is the first step along that path. It replaces existing uses of the revoke structure with the bufdata structure. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-10-10[GFS2] Clean up ordered write codeSteven Whitehouse
The following patch removes the ordered write processing from databuf_lo_before_commit() and moves it to log.c. This has the effect of greatly simplyfying databuf_lo_before_commit() and well as potentially making the ordered write code more efficient. As a side effect of this, its now possible to remove ordered buffers from the ordered buffer list at any time, so we now make use of this in invalidatepage and releasepage to ensure timely release of these buffers. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
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] Reduce number of gfs2_scand processes to oneSteven Whitehouse

2007-07-09[GFS2] assertion failure after writing to journaled file, umountRobert Peterson
This patch passes all my nasty tests that were causing the code to fail under one circumstance or another. Here is a complete summary of all changes from today's git tree, in order of appearance: 1. There are now separate variables for metadata buffer accounting. 2. Variable sd_log_num_hdrs is no longer needed, since the header accounting is taken care of by the reserve/refund sequence. 3. Fixed a tiny grammatical problem in a comment. 4. Added a new function "calc_reserved" to calculate the reserved log space. This isn't entirely necessary, but it has two benefits: First, it simplifies the gfs2_log_refund function greatly. Second, it allows for easier debugging because I could sprinkle the code with calls to this function to make sure the accounting is proper (by adding asserts and printks) at strategic point of the code. 5. In log_pull_tail there apparently was a kludge to fix up the accounting based on a "pull" parameter. The buffer accounting is now done properly, so the kludge was removed. 6. File sync operations were making a call to gfs2_log_flush that writes another journal header. Since that header was unplanned for (reserved) by the reserve/refund sequence, the free space had to be decremented so that when log_pull_tail gets called, the free space is be adjusted properly. (Did I hear you call that a kludge? well, maybe, but a lot more justifiable than the one I removed). 7. In the gfs2_log_shutdown code, it optionally syncs the log by specifying the PULL parameter to log_write_header. I'm not sure this is necessary anymore. It just seems to me there could be cases where shutdown is called while there are outstanding log buffers. 8. In the (data)buf_lo_before_commit functions, I changed some offset values from being calculated on the fly to being constants. That simplified some code and we might as well let the compiler do the calculation once rather than redoing those cycles at run time. 9. This version has my rewritten databuf_lo_add function. This version is much more like its predecessor, buf_lo_add, which makes it easier to understand. Again, this might not be necessary, but it seems as if this one works as well as the previous one, maybe even better, so I decided to leave it in. 10. In databuf_lo_before_commit, a previous data corruption problem was caused by going off the end of the buffer. The proper solution is to have the proper limit in place, rather than stopping earlier. (Thus my previous attempt to fix it is wrong). If you don't wrap the buffer, you're stopping too early and that causes more log buffer accounting problems. 11. In lops.h there are two new (previously mentioned) constants for figuring out the data offset for the journal buffers. 12. There are also two new functions, buf_limit and databuf_limit to calculate how many entries will fit in the buffer. 13. In function gfs2_meta_wipe, it needs to distinguish between pinned metadata buffers and journaled data buffers for proper journal buffer accounting. It can't use the JDATA gfs2_inode flag because it's sometimes passed the "real" inode and sometimes the "metadata inode" and the inode flags will be random bits in a metadata gfs2_inode. It needs to base its decision on which was passed in. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-07-09[GFS2] Recovery for lost unlinked inodesSteven Whitehouse
Under certain circumstances its possible (though rather unlikely) that inodes which were unlinked by one node while still open on another might get "lost" in the sense that they don't get deallocated if the node which held the inode open crashed before it was unlinked. This patch adds the recovery code which allows automatic deallocation of the inode if its found during block allocation (the sensible time to look for such inodes since we are scanning the rgrp's bitmaps anyway at this time, so it adds no overhead to do this). Since the inode will have had its i_nlink set to zero, all we need to trigger recovery is a lookup and an iput(), and the normal deallocation code takes care of the rest.

2007-07-09[GFS2] Fix sign problem in quota/statfs and cleanup _host structuresSteven Whitehouse
This patch fixes some sign issues which were accidentally introduced into the quota & statfs code during the endianess annotation process. Also included is a general clean up which moves all of the _host structures out of gfs2_ondisk.h (where they should not have been to start with) and into the places where they are actually used (often only one place). Also those _host structures which are not required any more are removed entirely (which is the eventual plan for all of them). The conversion routines from ondisk.c are also moved into the places where they are actually used, which for almost every one, was just one single place, so all those are now static functions. This also cleans up the end of gfs2_ondisk.h which no longer needs the #ifdef __KERNEL__. The net result is a reduction of about 100 lines of code, many functions now marked static plus the bug fixes as mentioned above. For good measure I ran the code through sparse after making these changes to check that there are no warnings generated.

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>
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.

2007-05-01[GFS2] Fix bz 224480 and cleanup glock demotion codeSteven Whitehouse
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.
