* GFS2: Merge lock_dlm module into GFS2Steven Whitehouse2009-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the big patch that I've been working on for some time now. There are many reasons for wanting to make this change such as: o Reducing overhead by eliminating duplicated fields between structures o Simplifcation of the code (reduces the code size by a fair bit) o The locking interface is now the DLM interface itself as proposed some time ago. o Fewer lookups of glocks when processing replies from the DLM o Fewer memory allocations/deallocations for each glock o Scope to do further optimisations in the future (but this patch is more than big enough for now!) Please note that (a) this patch relates to the lock_dlm module and not the DLM itself, that is still a separate module; and (b) that we retain the ability to build GFS2 as a standalone single node filesystem with out requiring the DLM. This patch needs a lot of testing, hence my keeping it I restarted my -git tree after the last merge window. That way, this has the maximum exposure before its merged. This is (modulo a few minor bug fixes) the same patch that I've been posting on and off the the last three months and its passed a number of different tests so far.

* GFS2: Support for I/O barriersSteven Whitehouse2008-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds barrier support to GFS2. There is not a lot of change really... we just add the barrier flag when we write journal header blocks. If the underlying device refuses to support them, we fall back to the previous way of doing things (wait for the I/O and hope) since there is nothing else we can do. There is no user configuration, barriers will always be on unless the device refuses to support them. This seems a reasonable solution to me since this is a correctness issue.

* [GFS2] Only do lo_incore_commit onceBob Peterson2008-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is performance related. When we're doing a log flush, I noticed we were calling buf_lo_incore_commit twice: once for data bufs and once for metadata bufs. Since this is the same function and does the same thing in both cases, there should be no reason to call it twice. Since we only need to call it once, we can also make it faster by removing it from the generic "lops" code and making it a stand-along static function.

* [GFS2] Fix assert in log codeSteven Whitehouse2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | Although the values were all being calculated correctly, there was a race in the assert due to the way it was using atomic variables. This changes the value we assert on so that we get the same effect by testing a different variable. This prevents the assert triggering when it shouldn't.

* [GFS2] Journal extent mappingBob Peterson2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch saves a little time when gfs2 writes to the journals by keeping a mapping between logical and physical blocks on disk.

* [GFS2] Remove function gfs2_get_blockBob Peterson2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is just a cleanup. Function gfs2_get_block() just calls function gfs2_block_map reversing the last two parameters. By reversing the parameters, gfs2_block_map() may be called directly and function gfs2_get_block may be eliminated altogether. Since this function is done for every block operation, this streamlines the code and makes it a little bit more efficient.

* [GFS2] Fix runtime issue with UP kernelsFabio Massimo Di Nitto2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The issue is indeed UP vs SMP and it is totally random. spin_is_locked() is a bad assertion because there is no correct answer on UP. on UP spin_is_locked() has to return either one value or another, always. This means that in my setup I am lucky enough to trigger the issue and your you are lucky enough not to. the patch in attachment removes the bogus calls to BUG_ON and according to David (in CC and thanks for the long explanation on the problem) we can rely upon things like lockdep to find problem that might be trying to catch.

* [GFS2] Don't periodically update the jindexSteven Whitehouse2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | We only care about the content of the jindex in two cases, one is when we mount the fs and the other is when we need to recover another journal. In both cases we have to update the jindex anyway, so there is no point in updating it periodically between times, so this removes it to simplify gfs2_logd.

* [GFS2] Don't add glocks to the journalSteven Whitehouse2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | The only reason for adding glocks to the journal was to keep track of which locks required a log flush prior to release. We add a flag to the glock to allow this check to be made in a simpler way. This reduces the size of a glock (by 12 bytes on i386, 24 on x86_64) and means that we can avoid extra work during the journal flush. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [GFS2] Add writepages for GFS2 jdataSteven Whitehouse2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [GFS2] Remove useless i_cache from inodesSteven Whitehouse2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [GFS2] Get superblock a different waySteven Whitehouse2007-10-10

* [GFS2] Clean up journaled data writingSteven Whitehouse2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch cleans up the code for writing journaled data into the log. It also removes the need to allocate a small "tag" structure for each block written into the log. Instead we just keep count of the outstanding I/O so that we can be sure that its all been written at the correct time. Another result of this patch is that a number of ll_rw_block() calls have become submit_bh() calls, closing some races at the same time. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [GFS2] Clean up gfs2_trans_add_revoke()Steven Whitehouse2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following alters gfs2_trans_add_revoke() to take a struct gfs2_bufdata as an argument. This eliminates the memory allocation which was previously required by making use of the already existing struct gfs2_bufdata. It makes some sanity checks to ensure that the gfs2_bufdata has been removed from all the lists before its recycled as a revoke structure. This saves one memory allocation and one free per revoke structure. Also as a result, and to simplify the locking, since there is no longer any blocking code in gfs2_trans_add_revoke() we must hold the log lock whenever this function is called. This reduces the amount of times we take and unlock the log lock. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [GFS2] Clean up ordered write codeSteven Whitehouse2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch removes the ordered write processing from databuf_lo_before_commit() and moves it to log.c. This has the effect of greatly simplyfying databuf_lo_before_commit() and well as potentially making the ordered write code more efficient. As a side effect of this, its now possible to remove ordered buffers from the ordered buffer list at any time, so we now make use of this in invalidatepage and releasepage to ensure timely release of these buffers.

* [GFS2] assertion failure after writing to journaled file, umountRobert Peterson2007-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch passes all my nasty tests that were causing the code to fail under one circumstance or another. Here is a complete summary of all changes from today's git tree, in order of appearance: 1. There are now separate variables for metadata buffer accounting. 2. Variable sd_log_num_hdrs is no longer needed, since the header accounting is taken care of by the reserve/refund sequence. 3. Fixed a tiny grammatical problem in a comment. 4. Added a new function "calc_reserved" to calculate the reserved log space. This isn't entirely necessary, but it has two benefits: First, it simplifies the gfs2_log_refund function greatly. Second, it allows for easier debugging because I could sprinkle the code with calls to this function to make sure the accounting is proper (by adding asserts and printks) at strategic point of the code. 5. In log_pull_tail there apparently was a kludge to fix up the accounting based on a "pull" parameter. The buffer accounting is now done properly, so the kludge was removed. 6. File sync operations were making a call to gfs2_log_flush that writes another journal header. Since that header was unplanned for (reserved) by the reserve/refund sequence, the free space had to be decremented so that when log_pull_tail gets called, the free space is be adjusted properly. (Did I hear you call that a kludge? well, maybe, but a lot more justifiable than the one I removed). 7. In the gfs2_log_shutdown code, it optionally syncs the log by specifying the PULL parameter to log_write_header. I'm not sure this is necessary anymore. It just seems to me there could be cases where shutdown is called while there are outstanding log buffers. 8. In the (data)buf_lo_before_commit functions, I changed some offset values from being calculated on the fly to being constants. That simplified some code and we might as well let the compiler do the calculation once rather than redoing those cycles at run time. 9. This version has my rewritten databuf_lo_add function. This version is much more like its predecessor, buf_lo_add, which makes it easier to understand. Again, this might not be necessary, but it seems as if this one works as well as the previous one, maybe even better, so I decided to leave it in. 10. In databuf_lo_before_commit, a previous data corruption problem was caused by going off the end of the buffer. The proper solution is to have the proper limit in place, rather than stopping earlier. (Thus my previous attempt to fix it is wrong). If you don't wrap the buffer, you're stopping too early and that causes more log buffer accounting problems. 11. In lops.h there are two new (previously mentioned) constants for figuring out the data offset for the journal buffers. 12. There are also two new functions, buf_limit and databuf_limit to calculate how many entries will fit in the buffer. 13. In function gfs2_meta_wipe, it needs to distinguish between pinned metadata buffers and journaled data buffers for proper journal buffer accounting. It can't use the JDATA gfs2_inode flag because it's sometimes passed the "real" inode and sometimes the "metadata inode" and the inode flags will be random bits in a metadata gfs2_inode. It needs to base its decision on which was passed in. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [GFS2] Journaled file write/unstuff bugRobert Peterson2007-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is for bugzilla bug 283162, which uncovered a number of bugs pertaining to writing to files that have the journaled bit on. These bugs happen most often when writing to the meta_fs because the files are always journaled. So operations like gfs2_grow were particularly vulnerable, although many of the problems could be recreated with normal files after setting the journaled bit on. The problems fixed are: -GFS2 wasn't ever writing unstuffed journaled data blocks to their in-place location on disk. Now it does. -If you unmounted too quickly after doing IO to a journaled file, GFS2 was crashing because you would discard a buffer whose bufdata was still on the active items list. GFS2 now deals with this gracefully. -GFS2 was losing track of the bufdata for journaled data blocks, and it wasn't getting freed, causing an error when you tried to unmount the module. GFS2 now frees all the bufdata structures. -There was a memory corruption occurring because GFS2 wrote twice as many log entries for journaled buffers. -It was occasionally trying to write journal headers in buffers that weren't currently mapped.

* [GFS2] fix jdata issuesBenjamin Marzinski2007-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a patch for the first three issues of RHBZ #238162 The first issue is that when you allocate a new page for a file, it will not start off uptodate. This makes sense, since you haven't written anything to that part of the file yet. Unfortunately, gfs2_pin() checks to make sure that the buffers are uptodate. The solution to this is to mark the buffers uptodate in gfs2_commit_write(), after they have been zeroed out and have the data written into them. I'm pretty confident with this fix, although it's not completely obvious that there is no problem with marking the buffers uptodate here. The second issue is simply that you can try to pin a data buffer that is already on the incore log, and thus, already pinned. This patch checks to see if this buffer is already on the log, and exits databuf_lo_add() if it is, just like buf_lo_add() does. The third issue is that gfs2_log_flush() doesn't do it's block accounting correctly. Both metadata and journaled data are logged, but gfs2_log_flush() only compares the number of metadata blocks with the number of blocks to commit to the ondisk journal. This patch also counts the journaled data blocks. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

* [GFS2] Fix journal flush problemSteven Whitehouse2006-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a bug which resulted in poor performance due to flushing the journal too often. The code path in question was via the inode_go_sync() function in glops.c. The solution is not to flush the journal immediately when inodes are ejected from memory, but batch up the work for glockd to deal with later on. This means that glocks may now live on beyond the end of the lifetime of their inodes (but not very much longer in the normal case). Also fixed in this patch is a bug (which was hidden by the bug mentioned above) in calculation of the number of free journal blocks. The gfs2_logd process has been altered to be more responsive to the journal filling up. We now wake it up when the number of uncommitted journal blocks has reached the threshold level rather than trying to flush directly at the end of each transaction. This again means doing fewer, but larger, log flushes in general. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

* [GFS2] Map multiple blocks at once where possibleSteven Whitehouse2006-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a tidy up of the GFS2 bmap code. The main change is that the bh is passed to gfs2_block_map allowing the flags to be set directly rather than having to repeat that code several times in ops_address.c. At the same time, the extent mapping code from gfs2_extent_map has been moved into gfs2_block_map. This allows all calls to gfs2_block_map to map extents in the case that no allocation is taking place. As a result reads and non-allocating writes should be faster. A quick test with postmark appears to support this. There is a limit on the number of blocks mapped in a single bmap call in that it will only ever map blocks which are pointed to from a single pointer block. So in other words, it will never try to do additional i/o in order to satisfy read-ahead. The maximum number of blocks is thus somewhat less than 512 (the GFS2 4k block size minus the header divided by sizeof(u64)). I've further limited the mapping of "normal" blocks to 32 blocks (to avoid extra work) since readpages() will currently read a maximum of 32 blocks ahead (128k). Some further work will probably be needed to set a suitable value for DIO as well, but for now thats left at the maximum 512 (see ops_address.c:gfs2_get_block_direct). There is probably a lot more that can be done to improve bmap for GFS2, but this is a good first step. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

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] Fix journal off-by-one errorBenjamin Marzinski2006-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | log_refund() incorrectly assumed that if a transaction had been touched, it always committed buffers to the incore log. Thus, when you got around to flushing the log, you would need one more block than you committed, to account for the header. So it automatically set reserved to 1, which had the effect of making sdp->sd_log_blks_reserved one greater when you got to gfs2_log_flush(). However, if you don't actually commit anything to the incore log between flushes, you don't need the header, because you aren't writing anything out. With this patch, log_refund() only increments reservered to account for the header if something has been committed since the last flush. Signed-off-by: Benjamin E.

* [GFS2] Fix lock ordering bug in page fault pathSteven Whitehouse2006-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Mmapped files were able to trigger a lock ordering bug. Private maps do not need to take the glock so early on. Shared maps do unfortunately, however we can get around that by adding a flag into the flags for the struct gfs2_file. This only works because we are taking an exclusive lock at this point, so we know that nobody else can be racing with us.

* [GFS2] Fix unlinked file handlingSteven Whitehouse2006-06-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the way we have been dealing with unlinked, but still open files. It removes all limits (other than memory for inodes, as per every other filesystem) on numbers of these which we can support on GFS2. It also means that (like other fs) its the responsibility of the last process to close the file to deallocate the storage, rather than the person who did the unlinking. Note that with GFS2, those two events might take place on different nodes. Also there are a number of other changes: o We use the Linux inode subsystem as it was intended to be used, wrt allocating GFS2 inodes o The Linux inode cache is now the point which we use for local enforcement of only holding one copy of the inode in core at once (previous to this we used the glock layer). o We no longer use the unlinked "special" file. We just ignore it completely. This makes unlinking more efficient. o We now use the 4th block allocation state. The previously unused state is used to track unlinked but still open inodes. o gfs2_inoded is no longer needed o Several fields are now no longer needed (and removed) from the in core struct gfs2_inode o Several fields are no longer needed (and removed) from the in core superblock There are a number of future possible optimisations and clean ups which have been made possible by this patch.
