* [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.

* [GFS2] Remove semaphore.h from C filesSteven Whitehouse2006-05-18
| | | | | | | We no longer use semaphores, everything has been converted to mutex or rwsem, so we don't need to include this header any more. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [GFS2] Drop log lock on I/O error & tidy upSteven Whitehouse2006-05-18
| | | | | | | | | This patch drops the log spinlock when an I/O error occurs to avoid any possible problems in case of blocking or recursion in the I/O error routine. It also has a few cosmetic changes to tidy up various other files. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [GFS2] Use vmalloc() in dir codeSteven Whitehouse2006-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | When allocating memory to sort directory entries, use vmalloc() rather than kmalloc() since for larger directories, the required size can easily be graeter than the 128k maximum of kmalloc(). Also adding the first steps towards getting the AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE return code get in the glock code by flagging all places where we request a glock and we are holding a page lock.

* [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] Macros removal in gfs2.hSteven Whitehouse2006-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | As suggested by Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>. The DIV_RU macro is renamed DIV_ROUND_UP and and moved to kernel.h The other macros are gone from gfs2.h as (although not requested by Pekka Enberg) are a number of included header file which are now included individually. The inode number comparison function is now an inline function. The DT2IF and IF2DT may be addressed in a future patch. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

* [GFS2] Fix for root inode ref count bugSteven Whitehouse2006-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Umount is now working correctly again. The bug was due to not getting an extra ref count when mounting the fs. We should have bumped it by two (once for the internal pointer to the root inode from the super block and once for the inode hanging off the dcache entry for root). Also this patch tidys up the code dealing with looking up and creating inodes. We now pass Linux inodes (with gfs2_inodes attached) rather than the other way around and this reduces code duplication in various places. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [GFS2] Remove pointless argument relating to truncateSteven Whitehouse2006-01-24
| | | | | | | | | For some reason a function pointer was being passed through the truncate code which only ever took one value. This removes the function pointer and replaces it with a single call to the function in question. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [GFS2] Add an additional argument to gfs2_trans_add_bh()Steven Whitehouse2006-01-18
| | | | | | | | | This adds an extra argument to gfs2_trans_add_bh() to indicate whether the bh being added to the transaction is metadata or data. Its currently unused since all existing callers set it to 1 (metadata) but following patches will make use of it. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
