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.

2009-01-05Revert "GFS2: Fix use-after-free bug on umount"Steven Whitehouse
This reverts commit 78802499912f1ba31ce83a94c55b5a980f250a43. The original patch is causing problems in relation to order of operations at umount in relation to jdata files. I need to fix this a different way. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-01-05GFS2: Fix use-after-free bug on umountSteven Whitehouse
There was a use-after-free with the GFS2 super block during umount. This patch moves almost all of the umount code from ->put_super into ->kill_sb, the only bit that cannot be moved being the glock hash clearing which has to remain as ->put_super due to umount ordering requirements. As a result its now obvious that the kfree is the final operation, whereas before it was hidden in ->put_super. Also gfs2_jindex_free is then only referenced from a single file so thats moved and marked static too. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-01-05GFS2: Move four functions from super.cSteven Whitehouse
The functions which are being moved can all be marked static in their new locations, since they only have a single caller each. Their new locations are more logical than before and some of the functions are small enough that the compiler might well inline them. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-01-05GFS2: Fix bug in gfs2_lock_fs_check_clean()Steven Whitehouse
gfs2_lock_fs_check_clean() should not be calling gfs2_jindex_hold() since it doesn't work like rindex hold, despite the comment. That allows gfs2_jindex_hold() to be moved into ops_fstype.c where it can be made static. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-01-05GFS2: Banish struct gfs2_rgrpd_hostSteven Whitehouse
This patch moves the final field so that we can get rid of struct gfs2_rgrpd_host, as promised some time ago. Also by rearranging the fields slightly, we are able to reduce the size of the gfs2_rgrpd structure at the same time. 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

2008-08-13GFS2: Fix metafs mountsSteven Whitehouse
This patch is intended to fix the issues reported in bz #457798. Instead of having the metafs as a separate filesystem, it becomes a second root of gfs2. As a result it will appear as type gfs2 in /proc/mounts, but it is still possible (for backwards compatibility purposes) to mount it as type gfs2meta. A new mount flag "meta" is introduced so that its possible to tell the two cases apart in /proc/mounts. As a result it becomes possible to mount type gfs2 with -o meta and get the same result as mounting type gfs2meta. So it is possible to mount just the metafs on its own. Currently if you do this, its then impossible to mount the "normal" root of the gfs2 filesystem without first unmounting the metafs root. I'm not sure if thats a feature or a bug :-) Either way, this is a great improvement on the previous scheme and I've verified that it works ok with bind mounts on both the "normal" root and the metafs root in various combinations. There were also a bunch of functions in super.c which didn't belong there, so this moves them into ops_fstype.c where they can be static. Hopefully the mount/umount sequence is now more obvious as a result. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Viro <aviro@redhat.com>

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>
2008-04-10[GFS2] fix GFP_KERNEL misusesJosef Bacik
There are several places where GFP_KERNEL allocations happen under a glock, which will result in hangs if we're under memory pressure and go to re-enter the fs in order to flush stuff out.

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] Initialize extent_list earlierBob Peterson

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. 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] 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.

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] Remove local exclusive glock modeSteven Whitehouse
Here is a patch for GFS2 to remove the local exclusive flag. In the places it was used, mutex's are always held earlier in the call path, so it appears redundant in the LM_ST_SHARED case. Also, the GFS2 holders were setting local exclusive in any case where the requested lock was LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE. So the other places in the glock code where the flag was tested have been replaced with tests for the lock state being LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE in order to ensure the logic is the same as before (i.e. LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE is always locally exclusive as well as globally exclusive).

2007-02-05[GFS2] Remove the "greedy" function from glock.[ch]Steven Whitehouse
The "greedy" code was an attempt to retain glocks for a minimum length of time when they relate to mmap()ed files. The current implementation of this feature is not, however, ideal in that it required allocating memory in order to do this and its overly complicated. It also misses the mark by ignoring the other I/O operations which are just as likely to suffer from the same problem. So the plan is to remove this now and then add the functionality back as part of the glock state machine at a later date (and thus take into account all the possible users of this feature) Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2007-02-05[GFS2] Clean up/speed up readdirSteven Whitehouse
This removes the extra filldir callback which gfs2 was using to enclose an attempt at readahead for inodes during readdir. The code was too complicated and also hurts performance badly in the case that the getdents64/readdir call isn't being followed by stat() and it wasn't even getting it right all the time when it was. As a result, on my test box an "ls" of a directory containing 250000 files fell from about 7mins (freshly mounted, so nothing cached) to between about 15 to 25 seconds. When the directory content was cached, the time taken fell from about 3mins to about 4 or 5 seconds. Interestingly in the cached case, running "ls -l" once reduced the time taken for subsequent runs of "ls" to about 6 secs even without this patch. Now it turns out that there was a special case of glocks being used for prefetching the metadata, but because of the timeouts for these locks (set to 10 secs) the metadata was being timed out before it was being used and this the prefetch code was constantly trying to prefetch the same data over and over. Calling "ls -l" meant that the inodes were brought into memory and once the inodes are cached, the glocks are not disposed of until the inodes are pushed out of the cache, thus extending the lifetime of the glocks, and thus bringing down the time for subsequent runs of "ls" considerably.

While mounting the gfs2 filesystem,our test team had a problem and we got this error message. ======================================================= GFS2: fsid=: Trying to join cluster "lock_nolock", "dasde1" GFS2: fsid=dasde1.0: Joined cluster. Now mounting FS... GFS2: not a GFS2 filesystem GFS2: fsid=dasde1.0: can't read superblock: -22 ========================================================================== On debugging further we found that problem is while reading the super block(gfs2_read_super) and comparing the magic number in it. When I replace the submit_bio() call(present in gfs2_read_super) with the sb_getblk() and ll_rw_block(), mount operation succeded. On further analysis we found that before calling submit_bio(), bio->bi_sector was set to "sector" variable. This "sector" variable has the same value of bh->b_blocknr(block number). Hence there is a need to multiply this valuwith (blocksize >> 9)(9 because,sector size 2^9,samething happens in ll_rw_block also, before calling submit_bio()). So I have developed the patch which solves this problem.

As per comments from Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> this updates the copyright message to say "version" in full rather than "v.2". Also incore.h has been updated to remove forward structure declarations which are not required. The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added to it. Also quota.c has been updated so that we now store the lvb data locally in endian independant format to avoid needing a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess conversions are done as required at various points and thus the conversion routines in lvb.[ch] are no longer required. I've moved the one remaining constant in lvb.h thats used into lm.h and removed the unused lvb.[ch]. I have not changed the HIF_ constants.

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.
