2009-04-03ocfs2: Optimize inode allocation by remembering last groupTao Ma
In ocfs2, the inode block search looks for the "emptiest" inode group to allocate from. So if an inode alloc file has many equally (or almost equally) empty groups, new inodes will tend to get spread out amongst them, which in turn can put them all over the disk. This is undesirable because directory operations on conceptually "nearby" inodes force a large number of seeks. So we add ip_last_used_group in core directory inodes which records the last used allocation group. Another field named ip_last_used_slot is also added in case inode stealing happens. When claiming new inode, we passed in directory's inode so that the allocation can use this information.

2009-01-05ocfs2: Validate metadata only when it's read from disk.Joel Becker
Add an optional validation hook to ocfs2_read_blocks(). Now the validation function is only called when a block was actually read off of disk. It is not called when the buffer was in cache. We add a buffer state bit BH_NeedsValidate to flag these buffers. It must always be one higher than the last JBD2 buffer state bit. The dinode, dirblock, extent_block, and xattr_block validators are lifted to this scheme directly. The group_descriptor validator needs to be split into two pieces. The first part only needs the gd buffer and is passed to ocfs2_read_block(). The second part requires the dinode as well, and is called every time. It's only 3 compares, so it's tiny. This also allows us to clean up the non-fatal gd check used by resize.c. It now has no magic argument.

2009-01-05ocfs2: Wrap group descriptor reads in a dedicated function.Joel Becker
We have a clean call for validating group descriptors, but every place that wants the always does a read_block()+validate() call pair. Create a toplevel ocfs2_read_group_descriptor() that does the right thing. This allows us to leverage the single call point later for fancier handling. We also add validation of gd->bg_generation against the superblock and gd->bg_blkno against the block we thought we read.

2009-01-05ocfs2: Consolidate validation of group descriptors.Joel Becker
Currently the validation of group descriptors is directly duplicated so that one version can error the filesystem and the other (resize) can just report the problem. Consolidate to one function that takes a boolean. Wrap that function with the old call for the old users. This is in preparation for lifting the read+validate step into a single function.

2008-10-13ocfs2: Limit inode allocation to 32bits.Joel Becker
ocfs2 inode numbers are block numbers. For any filesystem with less than 2^32 blocks, this is not a problem. However, when ocfs2 starts using JDB2, it will be able to support filesystems with more than 2^32 blocks. This would result in inode numbers higher than 2^32. The problem is that stat(2) can't handle those numbers on 32bit machines. The simple solution is to have ocfs2 allocate all inodes below that boundary. The suballoc code is changed to honor an optional block limit. Only the inode suballocator sets that limit - all other allocations stay unlimited. The biggest trick is to grow the inode suballocator beneath that limit. There's no point in allocating block groups that are above the limit, then rejecting their elements later on. We want to prevent the inode allocator from ever having block groups above the limit. This involves a little gyration with the local alloc code. If the local alloc window is above the limit, it signals the caller to try the global bitmap but does not disable the local alloc file (which can be used for other allocations).

2008-10-13ocfs2: Make ocfs2_extent_tree the first-class representation of a tree.Joel Becker
We now have three different kinds of extent trees in ocfs2: inode data (dinode), extended attributes (xattr_tree), and extended attribute values (xattr_value). There is a nice abstraction for them, ocfs2_extent_tree, but it is hidden in alloc.c. All the calling functions have to pick amongst a varied API and pass in type bits and often extraneous pointers. A better way is to make ocfs2_extent_tree a first-class object. Everyone converts their object to an ocfs2_extent_tree() via the ocfs2_get_*_extent_tree() calls, then uses the ocfs2_extent_tree for all tree calls to alloc.c. This simplifies a lot of callers, making for readability. It also provides an easy way to add additional extent tree types, as they only need to be defined in alloc.c with a ocfs2_get_<new>_extent_tree() function.

2008-10-13ocfs2: Add extended attribute supportTiger Yang
This patch implements storing extended attributes both in inode or a single external block. We only store EA's in-inode when blocksize > 512 or that inode block has free space for it. When an EA's value is larger than 80 bytes, we will store the value via b-tree outside inode or block. Signed-off-by: Tiger Yang <tiger.yang@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
2008-10-13ocfs2: Add extent tree operation for xattr value btreesTao Ma
Add some thin wrappers around ocfs2_insert_extent() for each of the 3 different btree types, ocfs2_inode_insert_extent(), ocfs2_xattr_value_insert_extent() and ocfs2_xattr_tree_insert_extent(). The last is for the xattr index btree, which will be used in a followup patch. All the old callers in file.c etc will call ocfs2_dinode_insert_extent(), while the other two handle the xattr issue. And the init of extent tree are handled by these functions. When storing xattr value which is too large, we will allocate some clusters for it and here ocfs2_extent_list and ocfs2_extent_rec will also be used. In order to re-use the b-tree operation code, a new parameter named "private" is added into ocfs2_extent_tree and it is used to indicate the root of ocfs2_exent_list. The reason is that we can't deduce the root from the buffer_head now. It may be in an inode, an ocfs2_xattr_block or even worse, in any place in an ocfs2_xattr_bucket.

2008-10-13ocfs2: Abstract ocfs2_extent_tree in b-tree operations.Tao Ma
In the old extent tree operation, we take the hypothesis that we are using the ocfs2_extent_list in ocfs2_dinode as the tree root. As xattr will also use ocfs2_extent_list to store large value for a xattr entry, we refactor the tree operation so that xattr can use it directly. The refactoring includes 4 steps: 1. Abstract set/get of last_eb_blk and update_clusters since they may be stored in different location for dinode and xattr. 2. Add a new structure named ocfs2_extent_tree to indicate the extent tree the operation will work on. 3. Remove all the use of fe_bh and di, use root_bh and root_el in extent tree instead. So now all the fe_bh is replaced with et->root_bh, el with root_el accordingly. 4. Make ocfs2_lock_allocators generic. Now it is limited to be only used in file extend allocation. But the whole function is useful when we want to store large EAs. Note: This patch doesn't touch ocfs2_commit_truncate() since it is not used for anything other than truncate inode data btrees.

2008-10-13ocfs2: Use ocfs2_extent_list instead of ocfs2_dinode.Tao Ma
ocfs2_extend_meta_needed(), ocfs2_calc_extend_credits() and ocfs2_reserve_new_metadata() are all useful for extent tree operations. But they are all limited to an inode btree because they use a struct ocfs2_dinode parameter. Change their parameter to struct ocfs2_extent_list (the part of an ocfs2_dinode they actually use) so that the xattr btree code can use these functions.

2008-10-13ocfs2: throttle back local alloc when low on disk spaceMark Fasheh
Ocfs2's local allocator disables itself for the duration of a mount point when it has trouble allocating a large enough area from the primary bitmap. That can cause performance problems, especially for disks which were only temporarily full or fragmented. This patch allows for the allocator to shrink it's window first, before being disabled. Later, it can also be re-enabled so that any performance drop is minimized. To do this, we allow the value of osb->local_alloc_bits to be shrunk when needed. The default value is recorded in a mostly read-only variable so that we can re-initialize when required. Locking had to be updated so that we could protect changes to local_alloc_bits. Mostly this involves protecting various local alloc values with the osb spinlock. A new state is also added, OCFS2_LA_THROTTLED, which is used when the local allocator is has shrunk, but is not disabled. If the available space dips below 1 megabyte, the local alloc file is disabled. In either case, local alloc is re-enabled 30 seconds after the event, or when an appropriate amount of bits is seen in the primary bitmap. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
2008-04-18ocfs2: Add ac_alloc_slot in ocfs2_alloc_contextTao Ma
In inode stealing, we no longer restrict the allocation to happen in the local node. So it is neccessary for us to add a new member in ocfs2_alloc_context to indicate which slot we are using for allocation. We also modify the process of local alloc so that this member can be used there also.

2008-01-25[PATCH 1/2] ocfs2: Add group extend for online resizeTao Ma
This patch adds the ability for a userspace program to request an extend of last cluster group on an Ocfs2 file system. The request is made via ioctl, OCFS2_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND. This is derived from EXT3_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND, but is obviously Ocfs2 specific. tunefs.ocfs2 would call this for an online-resize operation if the last cluster group isn't full.

2007-09-20ocfs2: Allow smaller allocations during large writesMark Fasheh
The ocfs2 write code loops through a page much like the block code, except that ocfs2 allocation units can be any size, including larger than page size. Typically it's equal to or larger than page size - most kernels run 4k pages, the minimum ocfs2 allocation (cluster) size. Some changes introduced during 2.6.23 changed the way writes to pages are handled, and inadvertantly broke support for > 4k page size. Instead of just writing one cluster at a time, we now handle the whole page in one pass. This means that multiple (small) seperate allocations might happen in the same pass. The allocation code howver typically optimizes by getting the maximum which was reserved. This triggered a BUG_ON in the extend code where it'd ask for a single bit (for one part of a > 4k page) and get back more than it asked for. Fix this by providing a variant of the high level allocation function which allows the caller to specify a maximum. The traditional function remains and just calls the new one with a maximum determined from the initial reservation. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

2007-07-10ocfs2: simplify deallocation lockingMark Fasheh
Deallocation of suballocator blocks, most notably extent blocks, might involve multiple suballocator inodes. The locking for this can get extremely complicated, especially when the suballocator inodes to delete from aren't known until deep within an unrelated codepath. Implement a simple scheme for recording the blocks to be unlinked so that the actual deallocation can be done in a context which won't deadlock. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2006-12-01ocfs2: Remove struct ocfs2_journal_handle in favor of handle_tMark Fasheh

2006-12-01ocfs2: don't use handle for locking in allocation functionsMark Fasheh
Instead we record our state on the allocation context structure which all callers already know about and lifetime correctly.
