2009-04-15GFS2: cleanup file_operations messChristoph Hellwig
Remove the weird pointer to file_operations mess and replace it with straight-forward defining of the lockinginstance names to the _nolock variants. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-03-24GFS2: Merge lock_dlm module into GFS2Steven Whitehouse
This is the big patch that I've been working on for some time now. There are many reasons for wanting to make this change such as: o Reducing overhead by eliminating duplicated fields between structures o Simplifcation of the code (reduces the code size by a fair bit) o The locking interface is now the DLM interface itself as proposed some time ago. o Fewer lookups of glocks when processing replies from the DLM o Fewer memory allocations/deallocations for each glock o Scope to do further optimisations in the future (but this patch is more than big enough for now!) Please note that (a) this patch relates to the lock_dlm module and not the DLM itself, that is still a separate module; and (b) that we retain the ability to build GFS2 as a standalone single node filesystem with out requiring the DLM. This patch needs a lot of testing, hence my keeping it I restarted my -git tree after the last merge window. That way, this has the maximum exposure before its merged. This is (modulo a few minor bug fixes) the same patch that I've been posting on and off the the last three months and its passed a number of different tests so far.

2009-01-05GFS2: Kill two daemons with one patchSteven Whitehouse
This patch removes the two daemons, gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd and replaces them with a shrinker which is called from the VM. The net result is that GFS2 responds better when there is memory pressure, since it shrinks the glock cache at the same rate as the VFS shrinks the dcache and icache. There are no longer any time based criteria for shrinking glocks, they are kept until such time as the VM asks for more memory and then we demote just as many glocks as required. There are potential future changes to this code, including the possibility of sorting the glocks which are to be written back into inode number order, to get a better I/O ordering. It would be very useful to have an elevator based workqueue implementation for this, as that would automatically deal with the read I/O cases at the same time. This patch is my answer to Andrew Morton's remark, made during the initial review of GFS2, asking why GFS2 needs so many kernel threads, the answer being that it doesn't :-) This patch is a net loss of about 200 lines of code.

2009-01-05GFS2: Banish struct gfs2_dinode_hostSteven Whitehouse
The final field in gfs2_dinode_host was the i_flags field. Thats renamed to i_diskflags in order to avoid confusion with the existing inode flags, and moved into the inode proper at a suitable location to avoid creating a "hole". At that point struct gfs2_dinode_host is no longer needed and as promised (quite some time ago!) it can now be removed completely. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-01-05GFS2: Move i_size from gfs2_dinode_host and rename it to i_disksizeSteven Whitehouse

2009-01-05GFS2: Move "entries" into "proper" inodeSteven Whitehouse
This moves the directory entry count into the proper inode. Potentially we could get this to share the space used by something else in the future, but this is one more step on the way to removing the gfs2_dinode_host structure. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-01-05GFS2: Move generation number into "proper" part of inodeSteven Whitehouse

2008-11-14CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the GFS2 filesystemDavid Howells
Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds. Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id(). Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be addressed by later patches.

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: Use an IS_ERR test rather than a NULL testJulien Brunel
In case of error, the function gfs2_inode_lookup returns an ERR pointer, but never returns a NULL pointer. So a NULL test that necessarily comes after an IS_ERR test should be deleted, and a NULL test that may come after a call to this function should be strengthened by an IS_ERR test. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @match_bad_null_test@ expression x, E; statement S1,S2; @@ x = gfs2_inode_lookup(...) ... when != x = E * if (x != NULL) S1 else S2 // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julien Brunel <brunel@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-08-27GFS2: Fix & clean up GFS2 renameSteven Whitehouse
This patch fixes a locking issue in the rename code by ensuring that we hold the per sb rename lock over both directory and "other" renames which involve different parent directories. At the same time, this moved the (only called from one place) function gfs2_ok_to_move into the file that its called from, so we can mark it static. This should make a code a bit easier to follow.

2008-07-03[GFS2] don't call permission()Miklos Szeredi
GFS2 calls permission() to verify permissions after locks on the files have been taken. For this it's sufficient to call gfs2_permission() instead. This results in the following changes: - IS_RDONLY() check is not performed - IS_IMMUTABLE() check is not performed - devcgroup_inode_permission() is not called - security_inode_permission() is not called IS_RDONLY() should be unnecessary anyway, as the per-mount read-only flag should provide protection against read-only remounts during operations. do_gfs2_set_flags() has been fixed to perform mnt_want_write()/mnt_drop_write() to protect against remounting read-only. IS_IMMUTABLE has been added to gfs2_permission() Repeating the security checks seems to be pointless, as they don't normally change, and if they do, it's independent of the filesystem state.

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] Fix a page lock / glock deadlockSteven Whitehouse
We've previously been using a "try lock" in readpage on the basis that it would prevent deadlocks due to the inverted lock ordering (our normal lock ordering is glock first and then page lock). Unfortunately tests have shown that this isn't enough. If the glock has a demote request queued such that run_queue() in the glock code tries to do a demote when its called under readpage then it will try and write out all the dirty pages which requires locking them. This then deadlocks with the page locked by readpage. The solution is to always require two calls into readpage. The first unlocks the page, gets the glock and returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, the second does the actual readpage and unlocks the glock & page as required. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
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] 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. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
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] 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] 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] Remove lock methods for lock_nolock protocolWendy Cheng
GFS2 supports two modes of locking - lock_nolock for single node filesystem and lock_dlm for cluster mode locking. The gfs2 lock methods are removed from file operation table for lock_nolock protocol. This would allow VFS to handle posix lock and flock logics just like other in-tree filesystems without duplication. Signed-off-by: S.

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] Introduce gfs2_set_aops()Steven Whitehouse
Just like ext3 we now have three sets of address space operations to cover the cases of writeback, ordered and journalled data writes. This means that the individual operations can now become less complicated as we are able to remove some of the tests for file data mode from the code. 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.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Clean up internal read functionSteven Whitehouse
As requested by Christoph, this patch cleans up GFS2's internal read function so that it no longer uses the do_generic_mapping_read function. This function is obsolete and GFS2 is the last user of it. As a side effect the internal read code gets smaller and easier to read and gfs2_readpage is split into two. One function has the locking and the other function has the rest of the logic. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>
2007-10-10[GFS2] Alternate gfs2_iget to avoid looking up inodes being freedBenjamin Marzinski
There is a possible deadlock between two processes on the same node, where one process is deleting an inode, and another process is looking for allocated but unused inodes to delete in order to create more space. process A does an iput() on inode X, and it's i_count drops to 0. This causes iput_final() to be called, which puts an inode into state I_FREEING at generic_delete_inode(). There no point between when iput_final() is called, and when I_FREEING is set where GFS2 could acquire any glocks. Once I_FREEING is set, no other process on that node can successfully look up that inode until the delete finishes. process B locks the the resource group for the same inode in get_local_rgrp(), which is called by gfs2_inplace_reserve_i() process A tries to lock the resource group for the inode in gfs2_dinode_dealloc(), but it's already locked by process B process B waits in find_inode for the inode to have the I_FREEING state cleared. Deadlock. This patch solves the problem by adding an alternative to gfs2_iget(), gfs2_iget_skip(), that simply skips any inodes that are in the I_FREEING state.o The alternate test function is just like the original one, except that it fails if the inode is being freed, and sets a skipped flag. The alternate set function is just like the original, except that it fails if the skipped flag is set. Only try_rgrp_unlink() calls gfs2_iget_skip() instead of gfs2_iget(). Signed-off-by: Benjamin E.

Fix a nasty inode meta data corruption issue by keeping the buffer head in icache array.

2007-07-09[GFS2] Remove i_mode passing from NFS File HandleWendy Cheng
GFS2 has been passing i_mode within NFS File Handle. Other than the wrong assumption that there is always room for this extra 16 bit value, the current gfs2_get_dentry doesn't really need the i_mode to work correctly. Note that GFS2 NFS code does go thru the same lookup code path as direct file access route (where the mode is obtained from name lookup) but gfs2_get_dentry() is coded for different purpose. It is not used during lookup time. It is part of the file access procedure call. When the call is invoked, if on-disk inode is not in-memory, it has to be read-in. This makes i_mode passing a useless overhead. Signed-off-by: S. Wendy Cheng <wcheng@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-07-09[GFS2] Obtaining no_formal_ino from directory entryWendy Cheng

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] 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 bug in error path of inodeSteven Whitehouse
This fixes a bug in the ordering of operations in the error path of createi.

2007-07-09[GFS2] Add nanosecond timestamp featureSteven Whitehouse
This adds a nanosecond timestamp feature to the GFS2 filesystem. Due to the way that the on-disk format works, older filesystems will just appear to have this field set to zero. When mounted by an older version of GFS2, the filesystem will simply ignore the extra fields so that it will again appear to have whole second resolution, so that its trivially backward compatible.

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. This fixes Red Hat bz #239686 Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
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>

2007-02-05[GFS2] Fix unlink deadlocksRussell Cattelan
Move the glock acquisition to outside of the transactions. Lock odering must be preserved in order to prevent ABBA deadlocks. The current gfs2_change_nlink code would tries to grab the glock after having started a transaction and thus is holding the log lock. This is inconsistent with other code paths in gfs that grab the resource group glock prior to staring a tranactions. One problem with this fix is that the resource group lock is always grabbed now even if the inode still has ref count and can not be marked for unlink.

2007-02-05[GFS2] Fix recursive locking attempt with NFSSteven Whitehouse
In certain cases, its possible for NFS to call the lookup code while holding the glock (when doing a readdirplus operation) so we need to check for that and not try and lock the glock twice. This also fixes a typo in a previous NFS related GFS2 patch. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
