* filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfsTakashi Sato2009-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and replication) while it is mounted. In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature and it would be used to get the consistent backup. If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it without a commercial filesystem. So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature. I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps. 1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl. 2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot with the storage device's feature. 3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl. 4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume or the snapshot. This patch: VFS: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they can return an error. Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion. ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed, and unlockfs always returns 0. reiserfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

* GFS2: Fix typo in gfs_page_mkwrite()Benjamin Marzinski2009-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | There is a typo in gfs2_page_mkwrite() gfs2_write_alloc_required() expects pos to be the offset in bytes. However, instead of the page index being shifted by by PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT, it was shifted by (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - inode->i_blkbits). This patch simply shifts the page index by the proper amount.

* GFS2: Send useful information with uevent messagesSteven Whitehouse2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to distinguish between two differing uevent messages and to avoid using the (racy) method of reading status from sysfs in future, this adds some status information to our uevent messages. Btw, before anybody says "sysfs isn't racy", I'm aware of that, but the way that GFS2 was using it (send an ambiugous uevent and then expect the receiver to read sysfs to find out the status of the reported operation) was. The additional benefit of using the new interface is that it should be possible for a node to recover multiple journals at the same time, since there is no longer any confusion as to which journal the status belongs to. At some future stage, when all the userland programs have been converted, I intend to remove the old interface. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* GFS2: Fix use-after-free bug on umountSteven Whitehouse2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was a use-after-free with the GFS2 super block during umount. This patch moves almost all of the umount code from ->put_super into ->kill_sb, the only bit that cannot be moved being the glock hash clearing which has to remain as ->put_super due to umount ordering requirements. As a result its now obvious that the kfree is the final operation, whereas before it was hidden in ->put_super. Also gfs2_jindex_free is then only referenced from a single file so thats moved and marked static too. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

* 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: Move gfs2_recoverd into recovery.cSteven Whitehouse2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | By moving gfs2_recoverd, we can make an additional function static and it also leaves only (the already scheduled for removal) gfs2_glockd in daemon.c. At the same time the declaration of gfs2_quotad is moved to quota.h to reflect the new location of gfs2_quotad in a previous patch. Also the recovery.h and quota.h headers are cleaned up.

* 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: Support for FIEMAP ioctlSteven Whitehouse2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements the FIEMAP ioctl for GFS2. We can use the generic code (aside from a lock order issue, solved as per Ted Tso's suggestion) for which I've introduced a new variant of the generic function. We also have one exception to deal with, namely stuffed files, so we do that "by hand", setting all the required flags. This has been tested with a modified (I could only find an old version) of Eric's test program, and appears to work correctly. This patch does not currently support FIEMAP of xattrs, but the plan is to add that feature at some future point.

* fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fixNick Piggin2009-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: high time to take some time over atimeSteven Whitehouse2008-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, we've used the same scheme as GFS1 for atime. This has failed since atime is a per vfsmnt flag, not a per fs flag and as such the "noatime" flag was not getting passed down to the filesystems. This patch removes all the "special casing" around atime updates and we simply use the VFS's atime code. The net result is that GFS2 will now support all the same atime related mount options of any other filesystem on a per-vfsmnt basis. We do lose the "lazy atime" updates, but we gain "relatime". We could add lazy atime to the VFS at a later date, if there is a requirement for that variant still - I suspect relatime will be enough. Also we lose about 100 lines of code after this patch has been applied, and I have a suspicion that it will speed things up a bit, even when atime is "on". So it seems like a nice clean up as well. From a user perspective, everything stays the same except the loss of the per-fs atime quantum tweekable (ought to be per-vfsmnt at the very least, and to be honest I don't think anybody ever used it) and that a number of options which were ignored before now work correctly. Please let me know if you've got any comments. I'm pushing this out early so that you can all see what my plans are. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

* | GFS2: Fix race relating to glock min-hold timeSteven Whitehouse2008-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the case that a request for a glock arrives right after the grant reply has arrived, it sometimes means that the gl_tstamp field hasn't been updated recently enough. The net result is that the min-hold time for the glock is ignored. If this happens often enough, it leads to poor performance. This patch adds an additional test, so that if the reply pending bit is set on a glock, then it will select the maximum length of time for the min-hold time, rather than looking at gl_tstamp.

* | GFS2: Fix & clean up GFS2 renameSteven Whitehouse2008-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a locking issue in the rename code by ensuring that we hold the per sb rename lock over both directory and "other" renames which involve different parent directories. At the same time, this moved the (only called from one place) function gfs2_ok_to_move into the file that its called from, so we can mark it static. This should make a code a bit easier to follow.

* | GFS2: rm on multiple nodes causes panicBob Peterson2008-08-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a problem whereby simultaneous unlink, rmdir, rename and link operations (e.g. rm -fR *) from multiple nodes on the same GFS2 file system can cause kernel panics, hangs, and/or memory corruption. It also gets rid of all the non-rgrp calls to gfs2_glock_nq_m. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* | GFS2: Fix metafs mountsSteven Whitehouse2008-08-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is intended to fix the issues reported in bz #457798. Instead of having the metafs as a separate filesystem, it becomes a second root of gfs2. As a result it will appear as type gfs2 in /proc/mounts, but it is still possible (for backwards compatibility purposes) to mount it as type gfs2meta. A new mount flag "meta" is introduced so that its possible to tell the two cases apart in /proc/mounts. As a result it becomes possible to mount type gfs2 with -o meta and get the same result as mounting type gfs2meta. So it is possible to mount just the metafs on its own. Currently if you do this, its then impossible to mount the "normal" root of the gfs2 filesystem without first unmounting the metafs root. I'm not sure if thats a feature or a bug :-) Either way, this is a great improvement on the previous scheme and I've verified that it works ok with bind mounts on both the "normal" root and the metafs root in various combinations. There were also a bunch of functions in super.c which didn't belong there, so this moves them into ops_fstype.c where they can be static. Hopefully the mount/umount sequence is now more obvious as a result. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Viro <aviro@redhat.com>
