* [PATCH] dlm: use kern_recvmsg()Al Viro2007-02-09
| | | | | Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* [DLM] fix softlockup in dlm_recvPatrick Caulfield2007-02-05
| | | | | | | | | This patch stops the dlm_recv workqueue from busy-waiting when a node disconnects. This can cause soft lockup errors on debug systems and bad performance generally. Signed-Off-By: Patrick Caulfield <pcaulfie@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [DLM] Make sock_sem into a mutexPatrick Caulfield2007-02-05
| | | | | | | | | Now that there can be multiple dlm_recv threads running we need to prevent two recvs running for the same connection - it's unlikely but it can happen and it causes message corruption.

* [DLM] fix lowcomms receivingPatrick Caulfield2007-02-05
| | | | | | | | This patch fixes a bug whereby data on a newly accepted connection would be ignored if it arrived soon after the accept. Signed-Off-By: Patrick Caulfield <pcaulfie@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [DLM] lowcomms tidyPatrick Caulfield2007-02-05
| | | | | | | | This patch removes some redundant fields from the connection structure and adds some lockdep annotation to remove spurious warnings. Signed-Off-By: Patrick Caulfield <pcaulfie@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [DLM] Use workqueues for dlm lowcommsPatrick Caulfield2007-02-05
| | | | | | | | | This patch converts the DLM TCP lowcomms to use workqueues rather than using its own daemon functions. Simultaneously removing a lot of code and making it more scalable on multi-processor machines.

* [DLM] rename dlm_config_info fieldsDavid Teigland2007-02-05
| | | | | | | | | Add a "ci_" prefix to the fields in the dlm_config_info struct so that we can use macros to add configfs functions to access them (in a later patch). No functional changes in this patch, just naming changes. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [DLM] Fix spin lock already unlocked bugPatrick Caulfield2007-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | I just noticed this message when testing some other changes I'd made to lowcomms (to use workqueues) but the problem seems to be in the current git trees too. I'm amazed no-one has seen it. BUG: spinlock already unlocked on CPU#1, dlm_recoverd/16868 Signed-Off-By: Patrick Caulfield <pcaulfie@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [DLM] Fix schedule() callsPatrick Caulfield2007-02-05
| | | | | | | | | I was a little over-enthusiastic turning schedule() calls int cond_sched() when fixing the DLM for Andrew Morton. These four should really be calls to schedule() or the dlm can busy-wait. Signed-Off-By: Patrick Caulfield <pcaulfie@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

When 0 is passed into nodeid2nodeinfo the function does not try to allocate a new structure at all. it's an indication that the caller only wants the nodeinfo struct for that nodeid if there actually is one in existance. I've tidied the function itself so it's more obvious, (and tidier!) >> +/* Data received from remote end */ >> +static int receive_from_sock(void) >> +{ >> + int ret = 0; >> + struct msghdr msg; >> + struct kvec iov[2]; >> + unsigned len; >> + int r; >> + struct sctp_sndrcvinfo *sinfo; >> + struct cmsghdr *cmsg; >> + struct nodeinfo *ni; >> + >> + /* These two are marginally too big for stack allocation, but this >> + * function is (currently) only called by dlm_recvd so static should be >> + * OK. >> + */ >> + static struct sockaddr_storage msgname; >> + static char incmsg[CMSG_SPACE(sizeof(struct sctp_sndrcvinfo))]; > > whoa.

Really the locking should be moved into the caller. It's just an optimisation to allow the caller to schedule if there is no work to do. if something arrives immediately afterwards then it will get picked up when the process re-awakes (and it will be woken by that arrival). The 'accepting' atomic has gone completely. as Andrew pointed out it didn't really achieve much anyway. I suspect it was a plaster over some other startup or shutdown bug to be honest.

* [DLM] Add support for tcp communicationsPatrick Caulfield2006-11-30
The following patch adds a TCP based communications layer to the DLM which is compile time selectable. The existing SCTP layer gives the advantage of allowing multihoming, whereas the TCP layer has been heavily tested in previous versions of the DLM and is known to be robust and therefore can be used as a baseline for performance testing.
