* GFS2: dlm based recovery coordinationDavid Teigland2012-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This new method of managing recovery is an alternative to the previous approach of using the userland gfs_controld. - use dlm slot numbers to assign journal id's - use dlm recovery callbacks to initiate journal recovery - use a dlm lock to determine the first node to mount fs - use a dlm lock to track journals that need recovery Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* GFS2: decouple quota allocations from block allocationsBob Peterson2011-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch separates the code pertaining to allocations into two parts: quota-related information and block reservations. This patch also moves all the block reservation structure allocations to function gfs2_inplace_reserve to simplify the code, and moves the frees to function gfs2_inplace_release.

* GFS2: Cache dir hash table in a contiguous bufferSteven Whitehouse2011-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a cache for the hash table to the directory code in order to help simplify the way in which the hash table is accessed. This is intended to be a first step towards introducing some performance improvements in the directory code. There are two follow ups that I'm hoping to see fairly shortly. One is to simplify the hash table reading code now that we always read the complete hash table, whether we want one entry or all of them. The other is to introduce readahead on the heads of the hash chains which are referred to from the table. The hash table is a maximum of 128k in size, so it is not worth trying to read it in small chunks. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

* | GFS2: Optimise glock lru and end of life inodesSteven Whitehouse2011-04-20
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The GLF_LRU flag introduced in the previous patch can be used to check if a glock is on the lru list when a new holder is queued and if so remove it, without having first to get the lru_lock. The main purpose of this patch however is to optimise the glocks left over when an inode at end of life is being evicted. Previously such glocks were left with the GLF_LFLUSH flag set, so that when reclaimed, each one required a log flush. This patch resets the GLF_LFLUSH flag when there is nothing left to flush thus preventing later log flushes as glocks are reused or demoted. In order to do this, we need to keep track of the number of revokes which are outstanding, and also to clear the GLF_LFLUSH bit after a log commit when only revokes have been processed.

| * GFS2: Use RCU for glock hash tableSteven Whitehouse2011-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This has a number of advantages: - Reduces contention on the hash table lock - Makes the code smaller and simpler - Should speed up glock dumps when under load - Removes ref count changing in examine_bucket - No longer need hash chain lock in glock_put() in common case There are some further changes which this enables and which we may do in the future. One is to look at using SLAB_RCU, and another is to look at using a per-cpu counter for the per-sb glock counter, since that is touched twice in the lifetime of each glock (but only used at umount time).

* | mm: prevent concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same inodeMiklos Szeredi2011-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael Leun reported that running parallel opens on a fuse filesystem can trigger a "kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475" Gurudas Pai reported the same bug on NFS. The reason is, unmap_mapping_range() is not prepared for more than one concurrent invocation per inode. For example: thread1: going through a big range, stops in the middle of a vma and stores the restart address in vm_truncate_count. thread2: comes in with a small (e.g. single page) unmap request on the same vma, somewhere before restart_address, finds that the vma was already unmapped up to the restart address and happily returns without doing anything. Another scenario would be two big unmap requests, both having to restart the unmapping and each one setting vm_truncate_count to its own value. This could go on forever without any of them being able to finish. Truncate and hole punching already serialize with i_mutex. Other callers of unmap_mapping_range() do not, and it's difficult to get i_mutex protection for all callers. In particular ->d_revalidate(), which calls invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse, may be called with or without i_mutex. This patch adds a new mutex to 'struct address_space' to prevent running multiple concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same mapping.

This is also to make it cleaner to add more semantics to WQ_MEM_RECLAIM. For example, if deemed necessary, memory reclaim workqueues can be made highpri.

* | GFS2: Use new workqueue schemeSteven Whitehouse2010-09-20
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recovery workqueue can be freezable since we want it to finish what it is doing if the system is to be frozen (although why you'd want to freeze a cluster node is beyond me since it will result in it being ejected from the cluster). It does still make sense for single node GFS2 filesystems though. The glock workqueue will benefit from being able to run more work items concurrently. A test running postmark shows improved performance and multi-threaded workloads are likely to benefit even more. It needs to be high priority because the latency directly affects the latency of filesystem glock operations. The delete workqueue is similar to the recovery workqueue in that it must not get blocked by memory allocations, and may run for a long time. Potentially other GFS2 threads might also be converted to workqueues, but I'll leave that for a later patch. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

* GFS2: Metadata address space clean upSteven Whitehouse2010-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the start of GFS2, an "extra" inode has been used to store the metadata belonging to each inode. The only reason for using this inode was to have an extra address space, the other fields were unused. This means that the memory usage was rather inefficient. The reason for keeping each inode's metadata in a separate address space is that when glocks are requested on remote nodes, we need to be able to efficiently locate the data and metadata which relating to that glock (inode) in order to sync or sync and invalidate it (depending on the remotely requested lock mode). This patch adds a new type of glock, which has in addition to its normal fields, has an address space. This applies to all inode and rgrp glocks (but to no other glock types which remain as before). As a result, we no longer need to have the second inode. This results in three major improvements: 1. A saving of approx 25% of memory used in caching inodes 2. A removal of the circular dependency between inodes and glocks 3. No confusion between "normal" and "metadata" inodes in super.c Although the first of these is the more immediately apparent, the second is just as important as it now enables a number of clean ups at umount time. Those will be the subject of future patches. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

* GFS2: Umount recovery race fixSteven Whitehouse2009-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a race condition where we can receive recovery requests part way through processing a umount. This was causing problems since the recovery thread had already gone away. Looking in more detail at the recovery code, it was really trying to implement a slight variation on a work queue, and that happens to align nicely with the recently introduced slow-work subsystem. As a result I've updated the code to use slow-work, rather than its own home grown variety of work queue. When using the wait_on_bit() function, I noticed that the wait function that was supplied as an argument was appearing in the WCHAN field, so I've updated the function names in order to produce more meaningful output.

* 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: change gfs2_quota_scan into a shrinkerAbhijith Das2009-03-24

* GFS2: Kill two daemons with one patchSteven Whitehouse2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the two daemons, gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd and replaces them with a shrinker which is called from the VM. The net result is that GFS2 responds better when there is memory pressure, since it shrinks the glock cache at the same rate as the VFS shrinks the dcache and icache. There are no longer any time based criteria for shrinking glocks, they are kept until such time as the VM asks for more memory and then we demote just as many glocks as required. There are potential future changes to this code, including the possibility of sorting the glocks which are to be written back into inode number order, to get a better I/O ordering. It would be very useful to have an elevator based workqueue implementation for this, as that would automatically deal with the read I/O cases at the same time. This patch is my answer to Andrew Morton's remark, made during the initial review of GFS2, asking why GFS2 needs so many kernel threads, the answer being that it doesn't :-) This patch is a net loss of about 200 lines of code.

* GFS2: Fix "truncate in progress" hangSteven Whitehouse2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Following on from the recent clean up of gfs2_quotad, this patch moves the processing of "truncate in progress" inodes from the glock workqueue into gfs2_quotad. This fixes a hang due to the "truncate in progress" processing requiring glocks in order to complete. It might seem odd to use gfs2_quotad for this particular item, but we have to use a pre-existing thread since creating a thread implies a GFP_KERNEL memory allocation which is not allowed from the glock workqueue context. Of the existing threads, gfs2_logd and gfs2_recoverd may deadlock if used for this operation. gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd are both scheduled for removal at some (hopefully not too distant) future point. That leaves only gfs2_quotad whose workload is generally fairly light and is easily adapted for this extra task. Also, as a result of this change, it opens the way for a future patch to make the reading of the inode's information asynchronous with respect to the glock workqueue, which is another improvement that has been on the list for some time now.

* GFS2: Clean up & move gfs2_quotadSteven Whitehouse2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is a clean up of gfs2_quotad prior to giving it an extra job to do in addition to the current portfolio of updating the quota and statfs information from time to time. As a result it has been moved into quota.c allowing one of the functions it calls to be made static. Also the clean up allows the two existing functions to have separate timeouts and also to coexist with its future role of dealing with the "truncate in progress" inode flag. The (pointless) setting of gfs2_quotad_secs is removed since we arrange to only wake up quotad when one of the two timers expires. In addition the struct gfs2_quota_data is moved into a slab cache, mainly for easier debugging. It should also be possible to use a shrinker in the future, rather than the current scheme of scanning the quota data entries from time to time. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

* [GFS2] Clean up the glock coreSteven Whitehouse2008-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements a number of cleanups to the core of the GFS2 glock code. As a result a lot of code is removed. It looks like a really big change, but actually a large part of this patch is either removing or moving existing code. There are some new bits too though, such as the new run_queue() function which is considerably streamlined. Highlights of this patch include: o Fixes a cluster coherency bug during SH -> EX lock conversions o Removes the "glmutex" code in favour of a single bit lock o Removes the ->go_xmote_bh() for inodes since it was duplicating ->go_lock() o We now only use the ->lm_lock() function for both locks and unlocks (i.e. unlock is a lock with target mode LM_ST_UNLOCKED) o The fast path is considerably shortly, giving performance gains especially with lock_nolock o The glock_workqueue is now used for all the callbacks from the DLM which allows us to simplify the lock_dlm module (see following patch) o The way is now open to make further changes such as eliminating the two threads (gfs2_glockd and gfs2_scand) in favour of a more efficient scheme.

* [GFS2] Reduce inode size by moving i_alloc out of lineSteven Whitehouse2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible to reduce the size of GFS2 inodes by taking the i_alloc structure out of the gfs2_inode. This patch allocates the i_alloc structure whenever its needed, and frees it afterward. This decreases the amount of low memory we use at the expense of requiring a memory allocation for each page or partial page that we write. A quick test with postmark shows that the overhead is not measurable and I also note that OCFS2 use the same approach. In the future I'd like to solve the problem by shrinking down the size of the members of the i_alloc structure, but for now, this reduces the immediate problem of using too much low-memory on x86 and doesn't add too much overhead.

* [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] Fix bz 224480 and cleanup glock demotion codeSteven Whitehouse2007-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch prevents the printing of a warning message in cases where the fs is functioning normally by handing off responsibility for unlinked, but still open inodes, to another node for eventual deallocation. Also, there is now an improved system for ensuring that such requests to other nodes do not get lost. The callback on the iopen lock is only ever called when i_nlink == 0 and when a node is unable to deallocate it due to it still being in use on another node. When a node receives the callback therefore, it knows that i_nlink must be zero, so we mark it as such (in gfs2_drop_inode) in order that it will then attempt deallocation of the inode itself. As an additional benefit, queuing a demote request no longer requires a memory allocation. This simplifies the code for dealing with gfs2_holders as it removes one special case. There are two new fields in struct gfs2_glock. gl_demote_state is the state which the remote node has requested and gl_demote_time is the time when the request came in. Both fields are only valid when the GLF_DEMOTE flag is set in gl_flags. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
| * [GFS2] Add gfs2_tool lockdump support to gfs2 (bz 228540)Robert Peterson2007-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch resolves bz 228540. This adds the capability for gfs2 to dump gfs2 locks through the debugfs file system. This used to exist in gfs1 as "gfs_tool lockdump" but it's missing from gfs2 because all the ioctls were stripped out. Please see the bugzilla for more history about the fix. This patch is also attached to the bugzilla record. The patch is against Steve Whitehouse's latest nmw git tree kernel (2.6.21-rc1) and has been tested on system trin-10.

* | slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter2007-05-07
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.

* [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau2007-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

* [GFS2] Use hlist for glock hash chainsSteven Whitehouse2006-09-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This results in smaller list heads, so that we can have more chains in the same amount of memory (twice as many). I've multiplied the size of the table by four though - this is because we are saving memory by not having one lock per chain any more. So we land up using about the same amount of memory for the hash table as we did before I started these changes, the difference being that we now have four times as many hash chains. The reason that I say "about the same amount of memory" is that the actual amount now depends upon the NR_CPUS and some of the config variables, so that its not exact and in some cases we do use more memory. Eventually we might want to scale the hash table size according to the size of physical ram as measured on module load. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [GFS2] Move glock hash table out of superblockSteven Whitehouse2006-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are several reasons why we want to do this: - Firstly its large and thus we'll scale better with multiple GFS2 fs mounted at the same time - Secondly its easier to scale its size as required (thats a plan for later patches) - Thirdly, we can use kzalloc rather than vmalloc when allocating the superblock (its now only 4888 bytes) - Fourth its all part of my plan to eventually be able to use RCU with the glock hash.

* [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.
