* ocfs2: Remove special casing for inode creation in ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock()Mark Fasheh2006-09-24
| | | | | | | | We can't use LKM_LOCAL for new dentry locks because an unlink and subsequent re-create of a name/inode pair may result in the lock still being mastered somewhere in the cluster. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
* ocfs2: Add dentry tracking APIMark Fasheh2006-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace the dentry vote mechanism with a cluster lock which covers a set of dentries. This allows us to force d_delete() only on nodes which actually care about an unlink. Every node that does a ->lookup() gets a read only lock on the dentry, until an unlink during which the unlinking node, will request an exclusive lock, forcing the other nodes who care about that dentry to d_delete() it. The effect is that we retain a very lightweight ->d_revalidate(), and at the same time get to make large improvements to the average case performance of the ocfs2 unlink and rename operations. This patch adds the higher level API and the dentry manipulation code. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

This patch adds the cluster lock type which OCFS2 can attach to dentries. A small number of fs/ocfs2/dcache.c functions are stubbed out so that this change can compile.
