2009-08-07xfs: fix freeing of inodes not yet added to the inode cacheChristoph Hellwig
When freeing an inode that lost race getting added to the inode cache we must not call into ->destroy_inode, because that would delete the inode that won the race from the inode cache radix tree. This patch uses splits a new xfs_inode_free helper out of xfs_ireclaim and uses that plus __destroy_inode to make sure we really only free the memory allocted for the inode that lost the race, and not mess with the inode cache state.

2009-06-10xfs: use generic Posix ACL codeChristoph Hellwig
This patch rips out the XFS ACL handling code and uses the generic fs/posix_acl.c code instead. The ondisk format is of course left unchanged. This also introduces the same ACL caching all other Linux filesystems do by adding pointers to the acl and default acl in struct xfs_inode.

All sizeof operations on the dinode_core either really wanted the icdinode and are switched to that one, or had already added the size of the agi unlinked list pointer. Later both will be replaced with helpers once we get the larger CRC-enabled dinode.

2008-04-18[XFS] Remove the xfs_icluster structureDavid Chinner
Remove the xfs_icluster structure and replace with a radix tree lookup. We don't need to keep a list of inodes in each cluster around anymore as we can look them up quickly when we need to. The only time we need to do this now is during inode writeback. Factor the inode cluster writeback code out of xfs_iflush and convert it to use radix_tree_gang_lookup() instead of walking a list of inodes built when we first read in the inodes. This remove 3 pointers from each xfs_inode structure and the xfs_icluster structure per inode cluster. Hence we reduce the cache footprint of the xfs_inodes by between 5-10% depending on cluster sparseness. To be truly efficient we need a radix_tree_gang_lookup_range() call to stop searching once we are past the end of the cluster instead of trying to find a full cluster's worth of inodes.

2008-04-18[XFS] Don't block pdflush when writing back inodesDavid Chinner
When pdflush is writing back inodes, it can get stuck on inode cluster buffers that are currently under I/O. This occurs when we write data to multiple inodes in the same inode cluster at the same time. Effectively, delayed allocation marks the inode dirty during the data writeback. Hence if the inode cluster was flushed during the writeback of the first inode, the writeback of the second inode will block waiting for the inode cluster write to complete before writing it again for the newly dirtied inode. Basically, we want to avoid this from happening so we don't block pdflush and slow down all of writeback. Hence we introduce a non-blocking async inode flush flag that pdflush uses. If this flag is set, we use non-blocking operations (e.g. try locks) whereever we can to avoid blocking or extra I/O being issued.

Remove the xfs_refcache, it was only needed while we were still building for 2.4 kernels. SGI-PV: 971186 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:30472a Signed-off-by: Donald Douwsma <donaldd@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Lachlan McIlroy <lachlan@sgi.com>
2008-02-07[XFS] use generic_permissionChristoph Hellwig
Now that all direct caller of xfs_iaccess are gone we can kill xfs_iaccess and xfs_access and just use generic_permission with a check_acl callback. This is required for the per-mount read-only patchset in -mm to work properly with XFS.

2008-02-07[XFS] Remove CFORK macros and use code directly in IFORK and DFORK macros.Christoph Hellwig
Currently XFS_IFORK_* and XFS_DFORK* are implemented by means of XFS_CFORK* macros. But given that XFS_IFORK_* operates on an xfs_inode that embedds and xfs_icdinode_core and XFS_DFORK_* operates on an xfs_dinode that embedds a xfs_dinode_core one will have to do endian swapping while the other doesn't. Instead of having the current mess with the CFORK macros that have byteswapping and non-byteswapping version (which are inconsistantly named while we're at it) just define each family of the macros to stand by itself and simplify the whole matter. A few direct references to the CFORK variants were cleaned up to use IFORK or DFORK to make this possible.

2008-02-07[XFS] Fix inode allocation latencyDavid Chinner
The log force added in xfs_iget_core() has been a performance issue since it was introduced for tight loops that allocate then unlink a single file. under heavy writeback, this can introduce unnecessary latency due tothe log I/o getting stuck behind bulk data writes. Fix this latency problem by avoinding the need for the log force by moving the place we mark linux inode dirty to the transaction commit rather than on transaction completion. This also closes a potential hole in the sync code where a linux inode is not dirty between the time it is modified and the time the log buffer has been written to disk.
