2009-05-13GFS2: Move journal live test at transaction startSteven Whitehouse
There seems little point grabbing the transaction glock only to have to release it again if the journal isn't live. This moves the test earlier to avoid grabbing the lock when we don't need it in the first place. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-03-24GFS2: Fix deadlock on journal flushSteven Whitehouse
This patch fixes a deadlock when the journal is flushed and there are dirty inodes other than the one which caused the journal flush. Originally the journal flushing code was trying to obtain the transaction glock while running the flush code for an inode glock. We no longer require the transaction glock at this point in time since we know that any attempt to get the transaction glock from another node will result in a journal flush. So if we are flushing the journal, we can be sure that the transaction lock is still cached from when the transaction was started. By inlining a version of gfs2_trans_begin() (minus the bit which gets the transaction glock) we can avoid the deadlock problems caused if there is a demote request queued up on the transaction glock. In addition I've also moved the umount rwsem so that it covers the glock workqueue, since it all demotions are done by this workqueue now. That fixes a bug on umount which I came across while fixing the original problem. Reported-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> 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.

2008-03-31[GFS2] Update gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke to accept extentsSteven Whitehouse
By adding an extra argument to gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke we can now specify an extent length of blocks to unrevoke. This means that we only need to make one pass through the list for each extent rather than each block. Currently the only extent length which is used is 1, but that will change in the future. Also gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke is removed from gfs2_alloc_meta since its the only difference between this and gfs2_alloc_data which is left. This will allow a future patch to merge these two functions into one (i.e. one call to allocate both data and metadata in a single extent in the future).

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>
2007-10-10[GFS2] Clean up gfs2_trans_add_revoke()Steven Whitehouse
The following alters gfs2_trans_add_revoke() to take a struct gfs2_bufdata as an argument. This eliminates the memory allocation which was previously required by making use of the already existing struct gfs2_bufdata. It makes some sanity checks to ensure that the gfs2_bufdata has been removed from all the lists before its recycled as a revoke structure. This saves one memory allocation and one free per revoke structure. Also as a result, and to simplify the locking, since there is no longer any blocking code in gfs2_trans_add_revoke() we must hold the log lock whenever this function is called. This reduces the amount of times we take and unlock the log lock. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-10-10[GFS2] Use slab operations for all gfs2_bufdata allocationsSteven Whitehouse
The old revoke structure was allocated using kalloc/kfree but there is a slab cache for gfs2_bufdata, so we should use that now that the structures have been converted. This is part two of the patch series to merge the revoke and gfs2_bufdata structures. 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>
2006-09-19[GFS2] Export lm_interface to kernel headersFabio Massimo Di Nitto
lm_interface.h has a few out of the tree clients such as GFS1 and userland tools. Right now, these clients keeps a copy of the file in their build tree that can go out of sync. Move lm_interface.h to include/linux, export it to userland and clean up fs/gfs2 to use the new location. Signed-off-by: Fabio M.

2006-09-01[GFS2] Update copyright, tidy up incore.hSteven Whitehouse
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. That is left to a later patch which I hope will unify the gh_flags and gh_iflags fields of the struct gfs2_holder.

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>
2006-04-26[GFS2] Remove GL_NEVER_RECURSE flagSteven Whitehouse
There is no point in keeping this flag since recursion is not now allowed for any glock. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-04-11[GFS2] Update journal accounting code.Steven Whitehouse
A small update to the journaling code to change the way that the "extra" blocks are accounted for in the journal. These are used at a rate of one per 503 metadata blocks or one per 251 journaled data blocks (or just one if the total number of journaled blocks in the transaction is smaller). Since we are using them at two different rates the old method of accounting for them no longer works and we count them up as required. Since the "per transaction" accounting can't handle this (there is no fixed number of header blocks per transaction) we have to account for it in the general journal code. We now require that each transaction reserves more blocks than it actually needs to take account of the possible extra blocks. Also a final fix to dir.c to ensure that all ref counts are handled correctly. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-04-07[GFS2] Fix a ref count bug and other clean upsSteven Whitehouse
This fixes a ref count bug that sometimes showed up a umount time (causing it to hang) but it otherwise mostly harmless. At the same time there are some clean ups including making the log operations structures const, moving a memory allocation so that its not done in the fast path of checking to see if there is an outstanding transaction related to a particular glock. Removes the sd_log_wrap varaible which was updated, but never actually used anywhere. Updates the gfs2 ioctl() to run without the kernel lock (which it never needed anyway). Removes the "invalidate inodes" loop from GFS2's put_super routine. This is done in kill super anyway so we don't need to do it here. The loop was also bogus in that if there are any inodes "stuck" at this point its a bug and we need to know about it rather than hide it by hanging forever.

2006-03-29[GFS2] Update debugging codeSteven Whitehouse
Update the debugging code in trans.c and at the same time improve the debugging code for gfs2_holders. The new code should be pretty fast during the normal case and provide just as much information in case of errors (or more). One small function from glock.c has moved to glock.h as a static inline so that its return address won't get in the way of the debugging. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-03-29[GFS2] Update locking in log.cSteven Whitehouse
Replace the lock_for_trans()/lock_for_flush() functions with an rwsem. In fact the sd_log_flush_lock becomes an rwsem (the write part of it) and is extended slightly to cover everything that the lock_for_flush() used to cover. The read part of the lock is instead of lock_for_trans(). This corrects the races in the original code and reduces the code size. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-03-01[GFS2] Fix some bugsSteven Whitehouse
Fix a bug I introduced earlier with a kfree() and usage of a structure in the wrong order. Also try and get the counts of the journaled data buffers "more correct". Still some work to do in this area though. 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>
2006-02-21[GFS2] Use mutices rather than semaphoresSteven Whitehouse
As well as a number of minor bug fixes, this patch changes GFS to use mutices rather than semaphores. This results in better information in case there are any locking problems. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-02-08[GFS2] Make journaled data files identical to normal files on diskSteven Whitehouse
This is a very large patch, with a few still to be resolved issues so you might want to check out the previous head of the tree since this is known to be unstable. Fixes for the various bugs will be forthcoming shortly. This patch removes the special data format which has been used up till now for journaled data files. Directories still retain the old format so that they will remain on disk compatible with earlier releases. As a result you can now do the following with journaled data files: 1) mmap them 2) export them over NFS 3) convert to/from normal files whenever you want to (the zero length restriction is gone) In addition the level at which GFS' locking is done has changed for all files (since they all now use the page cache) such that the locking is done at the page cache level rather than the level of the fs operations. This should mean that things like loopback mounts and other things which touch the page cache directly should now work. Current known issues: 1. There is a lock mode inversion problem related to the resource group hold function which needs to be resolved. 2. Any significant amount of I/O causes an oops with an offset of hex 320 (NULL pointer dereference) which appears to be related to a journaled data buffer appearing on a list where it shouldn't be. 3. Direct I/O writes are disabled for the time being (will reappear later) 4. There is probably a deadlock between the page lock and GFS' locks under certain combinations of mmap and fs operation I/O. 5. Issue relating to ref counting on internally used inodes causes a hang on umount (discovered before this patch, and not fixed by it) 6. One part of the directory metadata is different from GFS1 and will need to be resolved before next release. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-01-18[GFS2] Remove gfs2_databuf in favour of gfs2_bufdata structureSteven Whitehouse
Removing the gfs2_databuf structure and using gfs2_bufdata instead is a step towards allowing journaling of data without requiring the metadata header on each journaled block. The idea is to merge the code paths for ordered data with that of journaled data, with the log operations in lops.c tacking account of the different types of buffers as they are presented to it. Largely the code path for metadata will be similar too, but obviously through a different set of log operations. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
