2009-02-02ocfs2: Push out dropping of dentry lock to ocfs2_wqJan Kara
Dropping of last reference to dentry lock is a complicated operation involving dropping of reference to inode. This can get complicated and quota code in particular needs to obtain some quota locks which leads to potential deadlock. Thus we defer dropping of inode reference to ocfs2_wq.

2008-01-25ocfs2: Remove mount/unmount votesMark Fasheh
The node maps that are set/unset by these votes are no longer relevant, thus we can remove the mount and umount votes. Since those are the last two remaining votes, we can also remove the entire vote infrastructure. The vote thread has been renamed to the downconvert thread, and the small amount of functionality related to managing it has been moved into fs/ocfs2/dlmglue.c. All references to votes have been removed or updated. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2007-11-27ocfs2: Remove bug statement in ocfs2_dentry_iput()Mark Fasheh
The existing bug statement didn't take into account unhashed dentries which might not have a cluster lock on them. This could happen if a node exporting the file system via NFS is rebooted, re-exported to nfs clients and then unmounted. It's fine in this case to not have a dentry cluster lock. Just remove the bug statement and replace it with an error print, which does the proper checks. Though we want to know if something has happened which might have prevented a cluster lock from being created, it's definitely not necessary to panic the machine for this.

2007-11-06ocfs2: Re-order iput in ocfs2_drop_dentry_lockMark Fasheh
Do this to avoid a theoretical (I haven't seen this in practice) race where the downconvert thread might drop the dentry lock, allowing a remote unlink to proceed before dropping the inode locks. This could bounce access to the orphan dir between nodes. There doesn't seem to be a need to do the same in ocfs2_dentry_iput() as that's never called for the last ref drop from the downconvert thread. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

2006-09-24ocfs2: Remove special casing for inode creation in ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock()Mark Fasheh
We can't use LKM_LOCAL for new dentry locks because an unlink and subsequent re-create of a name/inode pair may result in the lock still being mastered somewhere in the cluster. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2006-09-24ocfs2: manually d_move() during ocfs2_rename()Mark Fasheh
Make use of FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE to avoid a race condition that can occur during ->rename() if we d_move() outside of the parent directory cluster locks, and another node discovers the new name (created during the rename) and unlinks it. d_move() will unconditionally rehash a dentry - which will leave stale data in the system.

2006-09-24ocfs2: Add dentry tracking APIMark Fasheh
Replace the dentry vote mechanism with a cluster lock which covers a set of dentries. This allows us to force d_delete() only on nodes which actually care about an unlink. Every node that does a ->lookup() gets a read only lock on the dentry, until an unlink during which the unlinking node, will request an exclusive lock, forcing the other nodes who care about that dentry to d_delete() it. The effect is that we retain a very lightweight ->d_revalidate(), and at the same time get to make large improvements to the average case performance of the ocfs2 unlink and rename operations. This patch adds the higher level API and the dentry manipulation code. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2006-09-24ocfs2: Add new cluster lock typeMark Fasheh
Replace the dentry vote mechanism with a cluster lock which covers a set of dentries. This allows us to force d_delete() only on nodes which actually care about an unlink. Every node that does a ->lookup() gets a read only lock on the dentry, until an unlink during which the unlinking node, will request an exclusive lock, forcing the other nodes who care about that dentry to d_delete() it. The effect is that we retain a very lightweight ->d_revalidate(), and at the same time get to make large improvements to the average case performance of the ocfs2 unlink and rename operations. This patch adds the cluster lock type which OCFS2 can attach to dentries. A small number of fs/ocfs2/dcache.c functions are stubbed out so that this change can compile.
