* ocfs2: Silence false lockdep warningsJan Kara2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | Create separate lockdep lock classes for system file's i_mutexes. They are used to guard allocations and similar things and thus rank differently than i_mutex of a regular file or directory. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
* [PATCH 2/2] ocfs2: cluster aware flock()Mark Fasheh2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | Hook up ocfs2_flock(), using the new flock lock type in dlmglue.c. A new mount option, "localflocks" is added so that users can revert to old functionality as need be. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
* ocfs2: Local alloc window size changeable via mount optionSunil Mushran2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Local alloc is a performance optimization in ocfs2 in which a node takes a window of bits from the global bitmap and then uses that for all small local allocations. This window size is fixed to 8MB currently. This patch allows users to specify the window size in MB including disabling it by passing in 0. If the number specified is too large, the fs will use the default value of 8MB. mount -o localalloc=X /dev/sdX /mntpoint Signed-off-by: Sunil Mushran <sunil.mushran@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
* ocfs2: Support commit= mount optionMark Fasheh2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | Mostly taken from ext3. This allows the user to set the jbd commit interval, in seconds. The default of 5 seconds stays the same, but now users can easily increase the commit interval. Typically, this would be increased in order to benefit performance at the expense of data-safety.

* ocfs2: Initalize bitmap_cpg of ocfs2_super to be the maximum.Tao Ma2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This value is initialized from global_bitmap->id2.i_chain.cl_cpg. If there is only 1 group, it will be equal to the total clusters in the volume. So as for online resize, it should change for all the nodes in the cluster. It isn't easy and there is no corresponding lock for it. bitmap_cpg is only used in 2 areas: 1. Check whether the suballoc is too large for us to allocate from the global bitmap, so it is little used. And now the suballoc size is 2048, it rarely meet this situation and the check is almost useless. 2. Calculate which group a cluster belongs to. We use it during truncate to figure out which cluster group an extent belongs too. But we should be OK if we increase it though as the cluster group calculated shouldn't change and we only ever have a small bitmap_cpg on file systems with a single cluster group.

* ocfs2: Rename ocfs2_meta_[un]lockMark Fasheh2008-01-25
| | | | | | | Call this the "inode_lock" now, since it covers both data and meta data. This patch makes no functional changes. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
* ocfs2: Remove data locksMark Fasheh2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The meta lock now covers both meta data and data, so this just removes the now-redundant data lock. Combining locks saves us a round of lock mastery per inode and one less lock to ping between nodes during read/write. We don't lose much - since meta locks were always held before a data lock (and at the same level) ordered writeout mode (the default) ensured that flushing for the meta data lock also pushed out data anyways.

* ocfs2: Remove mount/unmount votesMark Fasheh2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | The node maps that are set/unset by these votes are no longer relevant, thus we can remove the mount and umount votes. Since those are the last two remaining votes, we can also remove the entire vote infrastructure. The vote thread has been renamed to the downconvert thread, and the small amount of functionality related to managing it has been moved into fs/ocfs2/dlmglue.c. All references to votes have been removed or updated. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

* [PATCH] ocfs2: fix mount option parsingTiger Yang2007-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | For some mount option types, ocfs2_parse_options() will try to access sb->s_fs_info to get at the ocfs2 private superblock. Unfortunately, that hasn't been allocated yet and will cause a kernel crash. Fix this by storing options in a struct which can then get pushed into the ocfs2_super once it's been allocated later. If we need more options which store to the ocfs2_super in the future, we can just fields to this struct.

* 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.

* ocfs2: Cache extent recordsMark Fasheh2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The extent map code was ripped out earlier because of an inability to deal with holes. This patch adds back a simpler caching scheme requiring far less code. Our old extent map caching was designed back when meta data block caching in Ocfs2 didn't work very well, resulting in many disk reads. These days our metadata caching is much better, resulting in no un-necessary disk reads. As a result, extent caching doesn't have to be as fancy, nor does it have to cache as many extents. Keeping the last 3 extents seen should be sufficient to give us a small performance boost on some streaming workloads. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
* ocfs2: temporarily remove extent map cachingMark Fasheh2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | The code in extent_map.c is not prepared to deal with a subtree being rotated between lookups. This can happen when filling holes in sparse files. Instead of a lengthy patch to update the code (which would likely lose the benefit of caching subtree roots), we remove most of the algorithms and implement a simple path based lookup. A less ambitious extent caching scheme will be added in a later patch. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
* ocfs2: Remove delete inode voteTiger Yang2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | Ocfs2 currently does cluster-wide node messaging to check the open state of an inode during delete. This patch removes that mechanism in favor of an inode cluster lock which is taken at shared read when an inode is first read and dropped in clear_inode(). This allows a deleting node to test the liveness of an inode by attempting to take an exclusive lock.

* ocfs2: Remove i_generation from inode lock namesMark Fasheh2006-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OCFS2 puts inode meta data in the "lock value block" provided by the DLM. Typically, i_generation is encoded in the lock name so that a deleted inode on and a new one in the same block don't share the same lvb. Unfortunately, that scheme means that the read in ocfs2_read_locked_inode() is potentially thrown away as soon as the meta data lock is taken - we cannot encode the lock name without first knowing i_generation, which requires a disk read. This patch encodes i_generation in the inode meta data lvb, and removes the value from the inode meta data lock name. This way, the read can be covered by a lock, and at the same time we can distinguish between an up to date and a stale LVB. This will help cold-cache stat(2) performance in particular. Since this patch changes the protocol version, we take the opportunity to do a minor re-organization of two of the LVB fields. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock pointer. This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits the root in the vfsmount to be used instead. linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build successfully. Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

* [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mountDavid Howells2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint. The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt() which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour). The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the superblock pointer. This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root and mnt_sb would be set directly. The patch also makes the following changes: (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change very little. (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb(). (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon(). This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root, and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in dentries being left unculled. However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries with child trees. [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree. (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.
