2006-09-24ocfs2: Remove i_generation from inode lock namesMark Fasheh
OCFS2 puts inode meta data in the "lock value block" provided by the DLM. Typically, i_generation is encoded in the lock name so that a deleted inode on and a new one in the same block don't share the same lvb. Unfortunately, that scheme means that the read in ocfs2_read_locked_inode() is potentially thrown away as soon as the meta data lock is taken - we cannot encode the lock name without first knowing i_generation, which requires a disk read. This patch encodes i_generation in the inode meta data lvb, and removes the value from the inode meta data lock name. This way, the read can be covered by a lock, and at the same time we can distinguish between an up to date and a stale LVB. This will help cold-cache stat(2) performance in particular. Since this patch changes the protocol version, we take the opportunity to do a minor re-organization of two of the LVB fields. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2006-09-24ocfs2: Encode i_generation in the meta data lvbMark Fasheh
When i_generation is removed from the lockname, this will help us determine whether a meta data lvb has information that is in sync with the local struct inode. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2006-09-24ocfs2: Free up some space in the lvbMark Fasheh
lvb_version doesn't need to be a whole 32 bits. Make it an 8 bit field to free up some space. This should be backwards compatible until we use one of the fields, in which case we'd bump the lvb version anyway. 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.
