* 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>
* ocfs2: Provide convenience function for ino lookupMark Fasheh2007-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | A couple paths which needed to just match a parent dir + name pair to an inode number were a bit messy because they had to deal with ocfs2_find_files_on_disk() which returns a larger number of values. Provide a convenience function, ocfs2_lookup_ino_from_name() which internalizes all the extra accounting.

* 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>
* 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>
