* [GFS2] Clean up inode number handlingSteven Whitehouse2007-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch cleans up the inode number handling code. The main difference is that instead of looking up the inodes using a struct gfs2_inum_host we now use just the no_addr member of this structure. The tests relating to no_formal_ino can then be done by the calling code. This has advantages in that we want to do different things in different code paths if the no_formal_ino doesn't match. In the NFS patch we want to return -ESTALE, but in the ->lookup() path, its a bug in the fs if the no_formal_ino doesn't match and thus we can withdraw in this case. In order to later fix bz #201012, we need to be able to look up an inode without knowing no_formal_ino, as the only information that is known to us is the on-disk location of the inode in question. This patch will also help us to fix bz #236099 at a later date by cleaning up a lot of the code in that area. There are no user visible changes as a result of this patch and there are no changes to the on-disk format either. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [GFS2] Clean up/speed up readdirSteven Whitehouse2007-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes the extra filldir callback which gfs2 was using to enclose an attempt at readahead for inodes during readdir. The code was too complicated and also hurts performance badly in the case that the getdents64/readdir call isn't being followed by stat() and it wasn't even getting it right all the time when it was. As a result, on my test box an "ls" of a directory containing 250000 files fell from about 7mins (freshly mounted, so nothing cached) to between about 15 to 25 seconds. When the directory content was cached, the time taken fell from about 3mins to about 4 or 5 seconds. Interestingly in the cached case, running "ls -l" once reduced the time taken for subsequent runs of "ls" to about 6 secs even without this patch. Now it turns out that there was a special case of glocks being used for prefetching the metadata, but because of the timeouts for these locks (set to 10 secs) the metadata was being timed out before it was being used and this the prefetch code was constantly trying to prefetch the same data over and over. Calling "ls -l" meant that the inodes were brought into memory and once the inodes are cached, the glocks are not disposed of until the inodes are pushed out of the cache, thus extending the lifetime of the glocks, and thus bringing down the time for subsequent runs of "ls" considerably.

* [GFS2] Make headers compile on their ownSteven Whitehouse2006-09-05

* [GFS2] Directory code style changesSteven Whitehouse2006-09-05
| | | | | | | | | As per comments from Jan Engelhardt, remove redundant casts, redundant endian conversions, add a smattering of const and rewrite the dirent_next function in order to avoid as many casts as possible.

* [GFS2] Update copyright, tidy up incore.hSteven Whitehouse2006-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As per comments from Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> this updates the copyright message to say "version" in full rather than "v.2". Also incore.h has been updated to remove forward structure declarations which are not required. The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added to it. Also quota.c has been updated so that we now store the lvb data locally in endian independant format to avoid needing a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess conversions are done as required at various points and thus the conversion routines in lvb.[ch] are no longer required. I've moved the one remaining constant in lvb.h thats used into lm.h and removed the unused lvb.[ch]. I have not changed the HIF_ constants. That is left to a later patch which I hope will unify the gh_flags and gh_iflags fields of the struct gfs2_holder.

* [GFS2] Further updates to dir and logging codeSteven Whitehouse2006-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reduces the size of the directory code by about 3k and gets readdir() to use the functions which were introduced in the previous directory code update. Two memory allocations are merged into one. Eliminates zeroing of some buffers which were never used before they were initialised by other data. There is still scope for further improvement in the directory code. On the logging side, a hand created mutex has been replaced by a standard Linux mutex in the log allocation code.

* [GFS2] Fix bug in directory code and tidy upSteven Whitehouse2006-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to a typo, the dir leaf split operation was (for the first split in a directory) writing the new hash vaules at the wrong offset. This is now fixed. Also some other tidy ups are included: - We use GFS2's hash function for dentries (see ops_dentry.c) so that we don't have to keep recalculating the hash values. - A lot of common code is eliminated between the various directory lookup routines. - Better error checking on directory lookup (previously different routines checked for different errors) - The leaf split operation has a couple of redundant operations removed from it, so it should be faster. There is still further scope for further clean ups in the directory code, and readdir in particular could do with slimming down a bit. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [GFS2] Make journaled data files identical to normal files on diskSteven Whitehouse2006-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a very large patch, with a few still to be resolved issues so you might want to check out the previous head of the tree since this is known to be unstable. Fixes for the various bugs will be forthcoming shortly. This patch removes the special data format which has been used up till now for journaled data files. Directories still retain the old format so that they will remain on disk compatible with earlier releases. As a result you can now do the following with journaled data files: 1) mmap them 2) export them over NFS 3) convert to/from normal files whenever you want to (the zero length restriction is gone) In addition the level at which GFS' locking is done has changed for all files (since they all now use the page cache) such that the locking is done at the page cache level rather than the level of the fs operations. This should mean that things like loopback mounts and other things which touch the page cache directly should now work. Current known issues: 1. There is a lock mode inversion problem related to the resource group hold function which needs to be resolved. 2. Any significant amount of I/O causes an oops with an offset of hex 320 (NULL pointer dereference) which appears to be related to a journaled data buffer appearing on a list where it shouldn't be. 3. Direct I/O writes are disabled for the time being (will reappear later) 4. There is probably a deadlock between the page lock and GFS' locks under certain combinations of mmap and fs operation I/O. 5. Issue relating to ref counting on internally used inodes causes a hang on umount (discovered before this patch, and not fixed by it) 6. One part of the directory metadata is different from GFS1 and will need to be resolved before next release. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
