2008-01-25[GFS2] Add writepages for GFS2 jdataSteven Whitehouse
This patch resolves a lock ordering issue where we had been getting a transaction lock in the wrong order with respect to the page lock. By using writepages rather than just writepage, it is then possible to start a transaction before locking the page, and thus matching the locking order elsewhere in the code.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Split gfs2_writepage into three casesSteven Whitehouse
This patch splits gfs2_writepage into separate functions for each of the three cases: writeback, ordered and journalled. As a result it becomes a lot easier to see what each one is doing. The common code is moved into gfs2_writepage_common. This fixes a performance bug where we were doing more work than strictly required in the ordered write case. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-01-25[GFS2] Introduce gfs2_set_aops()Steven Whitehouse
Just like ext3 we now have three sets of address space operations to cover the cases of writeback, ordered and journalled data writes. This means that the individual operations can now become less complicated as we are able to remove some of the tests for file data mode from the code. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-01-25[GFS2] Add gfs2_is_writeback()Steven Whitehouse
This adds a function "gfs2_is_writeback()" along the lines of the existing "gfs2_is_jdata()" in order to clean up the code and make the various tests for the inode mode more obvious. It also fixes the PageChecked() logic where we were resetting the flag too early in the case of an error path. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2008-01-25[GFS2] Remove useless i_cache from inodesSteven Whitehouse
The i_cache was designed to keep references to the indirect blocks used during block mapping so that they didn't have to be looked up continually. The idea failed because there are too many places where the i_cache needs to be freed, and this has in the past been the cause of many bugs. In addition there was no performance benefit being gained since the disk blocks in question were cached anyway. So this patch removes it in order to simplify the code to prepare for other changes which would otherwise have had to add further support for this feature.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Use ->page_mkwrite() for mmap()Steven Whitehouse
This cleans up the mmap() code path for GFS2 by implementing the page_mkwrite function for GFS2. We are thus able to use the generic filemap_fault function for our ->fault() implementation. This now means that shared writable mappings will be much more efficiently shared across the cluster if there is a reasonable proportion of read activity (the greater proportion, the better). As a side effect, it also reduces the size of the code, removes special cases from readpage and readpages, and makes the code path easier to follow.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Clean up internal read functionSteven Whitehouse
As requested by Christoph, this patch cleans up GFS2's internal read function so that it no longer uses the do_generic_mapping_read function. This function is obsolete and GFS2 is the last user of it. As a side effect the internal read code gets smaller and easier to read and gfs2_readpage is split into two. One function has the locking and the other function has the rest of the logic. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>
2008-01-25[GFS2] Handle multiple glock demote requestsWendy Cheng
Fix a race condition where multiple glock demote requests are sent to a node back-to-back. This patch does a check inside handle_callback() to see whether a demote request is in progress. If true, it sets a flag to make sure run_queue() will loop again to handle the new request, instead of erronously setting gl_demote_state to a different state. Signed-off-by: S.

It isn't that hard to add simple kset attributes, so don't go through all the gyrations of creating your own object type and show and store functions. Just use the functions that are already present. This makes things much simpler. Note, the version_str string violates the "one value per file" rule for sysfs. I suggest changing this now (individual files per type supported is one suggested way.)

Commit 84427eaef1fb91704c7112bdb598c810003b99f3 (remove task_ppid_nr_ns) moved the task_tgid_nr_ns(task->real_parent) outside of lock_task_sighand(). This is wrong, ->real_parent could be freed/reused. Both ->parent/real_parent point to nothing after __exit_signal() because we remove the child from ->children list, and thus the child can't be reparented when its parent exits. rcu_read_lock() protects ->parent/real_parent, but _only_ if we know it was valid before we take rcu lock.

2008-01-13knfsd: Allow NFSv2/3 WRITE calls to succeed when krb5i etc is used.NeilBrown
When RPCSEC/GSS and krb5i is used, requests are padded, typically to a multiple of 8 bytes. This can make the request look slightly longer than it really is. As of f34b95689d2ce001c "The NFSv2/NFSv3 server does not handle zero length WRITE request correctly", the xdr decode routines for NFSv2 and NFSv3 reject requests that aren't the right length, so krb5i (for example) WRITE requests can get lost.

2008-01-13remove task_ppid_nr_nsRoland McGrath
task_ppid_nr_ns is called in three places. One of these should never have called it. In the other two, using it broke the existing semantics. This was presumably accidental. If the function had not been there, it would have been much more obvious to the eye that those patches were changing the behavior. We don't need this function. In task_state, the pid of the ptracer is not the ppid of the ptracer. In do_task_stat, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid. I also moved the call outside of lock_task_sighand, since it doesn't need it. In sys_getppid, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid.
