2006-06-14[GFS2] Fix unlinked file handlingSteven Whitehouse
This patch fixes the way we have been dealing with unlinked, but still open files. It removes all limits (other than memory for inodes, as per every other filesystem) on numbers of these which we can support on GFS2. It also means that (like other fs) its the responsibility of the last process to close the file to deallocate the storage, rather than the person who did the unlinking. Note that with GFS2, those two events might take place on different nodes. Also there are a number of other changes: o We use the Linux inode subsystem as it was intended to be used, wrt allocating GFS2 inodes o The Linux inode cache is now the point which we use for local enforcement of only holding one copy of the inode in core at once (previous to this we used the glock layer). o We no longer use the unlinked "special" file. We just ignore it completely. This makes unlinking more efficient. o We now use the 4th block allocation state. The previously unused state is used to track unlinked but still open inodes. o gfs2_inoded is no longer needed o Several fields are now no longer needed (and removed) from the in core struct gfs2_inode o Several fields are no longer needed (and removed) from the in core superblock There are a number of future possible optimisations and clean ups which have been made possible by this patch.

2006-05-18[GFS2] Remove semaphore.h from C filesSteven Whitehouse
We no longer use semaphores, everything has been converted to mutex or rwsem, so we don't need to include this header any more. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-03-28[GFS2] Further updates to dir and logging codeSteven Whitehouse
This reduces the size of the directory code by about 3k and gets readdir() to use the functions which were introduced in the previous directory code update. Two memory allocations are merged into one. Eliminates zeroing of some buffers which were never used before they were initialised by other data. There is still scope for further improvement in the directory code. On the logging side, a hand created mutex has been replaced by a standard Linux mutex in the log allocation code.

2006-03-20[GFS2] Fix bug in directory code and tidy upSteven Whitehouse
Due to a typo, the dir leaf split operation was (for the first split in a directory) writing the new hash vaules at the wrong offset. This is now fixed. Also some other tidy ups are included: - We use GFS2's hash function for dentries (see ops_dentry.c) so that we don't have to keep recalculating the hash values. - A lot of common code is eliminated between the various directory lookup routines. - Better error checking on directory lookup (previously different routines checked for different errors) - The leaf split operation has a couple of redundant operations removed from it, so it should be faster. There is still further scope for further clean ups in the directory code, and readdir in particular could do with slimming down a bit. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-02-27[GFS2] Macros removal in gfs2.hSteven Whitehouse
As suggested by Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>. The DIV_RU macro is renamed DIV_ROUND_UP and and moved to kernel.h The other macros are gone from gfs2.h as (although not requested by Pekka Enberg) are a number of included header file which are now included individually. The inode number comparison function is now an inline function. The DT2IF and IF2DT may be addressed in a future patch. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
