| * | [DLM] cancel in conversion deadlock [4/6]David Teigland2007-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When conversion deadlock is detected, cancel the conversion and return EDEADLK to the application. This is a new default behavior where before the dlm would allow the deadlock to exist indefinately. The DLM_LKF_NODLCKWT flag can now be used in a conversion to prevent the dlm from performing conversion deadlock detection/cancelation on it. The DLM_LKF_CONVDEADLK flag can continue to be used as before to tell the dlm to demote the granted mode of the lock being converted if it gets into a conversion deadlock.

| * | [DLM] dlm_device interface changes [3/6]David Teigland2007-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the user/kernel device interface used by libdlm: - Add ability for userspace to check the version of the interface. libdlm can now adapt to different versions of the kernel interface. - Increase the size of the flags passed in a lock request so all possible flags can be used from userspace. - Add an opaque "xid" value for each lock. This "transaction id" will be used later to associate locks with each other during deadlock detection. - Add a "timeout" value for each lock. This is used along with the DLM_LKF_TIMEOUT flag. Also, remove a fragment of unused code in device_read(). This patch requires updating libdlm which is backward compatible with older kernels.

| * | [DLM] add lock timeouts and warnings [2/6]David Teigland2007-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New features: lock timeouts and time warnings. If the DLM_LKF_TIMEOUT flag is set, then the request/conversion will be canceled after waiting the specified number of centiseconds (specified per lock). This feature is only available for locks requested through libdlm (can be enabled for kernel dlm users if there's a use for it.) If the new DLM_LSFL_TIMEWARN flag is set when creating the lockspace, then a warning message will be sent to userspace (using genetlink) after a request/conversion has been waiting for a given number of centiseconds (configurable per node). The time warnings will be used in the future to do deadlock detection in userspace. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

| * | [DLM] keep dlm from panicing when traversing rsb list in debugfsJosef Bacik2007-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This problem was originally reported against GFS6.1, but the same issue exists in upstream DLM. This patch keeps the rsb iterator assigning under the rsbtbl list lock. Each time we process an rsb we grab a reference to it to make sure it is not freed out from underneath us, and then put it when we get the next rsb in the list or move onto another list.

| * | [GFS2] Clean up inode number handlingSteven Whitehouse2007-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch cleans up the inode number handling code. The main difference is that instead of looking up the inodes using a struct gfs2_inum_host we now use just the no_addr member of this structure. The tests relating to no_formal_ino can then be done by the calling code. This has advantages in that we want to do different things in different code paths if the no_formal_ino doesn't match. In the NFS patch we want to return -ESTALE, but in the ->lookup() path, its a bug in the fs if the no_formal_ino doesn't match and thus we can withdraw in this case. In order to later fix bz #201012, we need to be able to look up an inode without knowing no_formal_ino, as the only information that is known to us is the on-disk location of the inode in question. This patch will also help us to fix bz #236099 at a later date by cleaning up a lot of the code in that area. There are no user visible changes as a result of this patch and there are no changes to the on-disk format either. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
| * | [GFS2] Reduce size of struct gdlm_lockSteven Whitehouse2007-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the completion (which is rather large) from struct gdlm_lock in favour of using the wait_on_bit() functions. We don't need to add any extra fields to the structure to do this, so we save 32 bytes (on x86_64) per structure. This adds up to quite a lot when we may potentially have millions of these lock structures, Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Acked-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>
| * | [GFS2] Addendum patch 2 for gfs2_growRobert Peterson2007-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This addendum patch 2 corrects three things: 1. It fixes a stupid mistake in the previous addendum that broke gfs2. Ref: https://www.redhat.com/archives/cluster-devel/2007-May/msg00162.html 2. It fixes a problem that Dave Teigland pointed out regarding the external declarations in ops_address.h being in the wrong place. 3. It recasts a couple more %llu printks to (unsigned long long) as requested by Steve Whitehouse. I would have loved to put this all in one revised patch, but there was a rush to get some patches for RHEL5. Therefore, the previous patches were applied to the git tree "as is" and therefore, I'm posting another addendum. Sorry.

| * | [GFS2] Kernel changes to support new gfs2_grow command (part 2)Robert Peterson2007-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To avoid code redundancy, I separated out the operational "guts" into a new function called read_rindex_entry. Then I made two functions: the closer-to-original gfs2_ri_update (without the special condition checks) and gfs2_ri_update_special that's designed with that condition in mind. (I don't like the name, but if you have a suggestion, I'm all ears). Oh, and there's an added benefit: we don't need all the ugly gotos anymore. ;) This patch has been tested with gfs2_fsck_hellfire (which runs for three and a half hours, btw).

Steve Whitehouse expressed some concerns about the previous patch and I restructured it based on his comments. The previous patch was doing the statfs_change at file close time, under its own transaction. The current patch does the statfs_change inside the gfs2_commit_write function, which keeps it under the umbrella of the inode transaction. I can't call ri_update to re-read the rindex file during the transaction because the transaction may have outstanding unwritten buffers attached to the rgrps that would be otherwise blown away. So instead, I created a new function, gfs2_ri_total, that will re-read the rindex file just to total the file system space for the sake of the statfs_change. The ri_update will happen later, when gfs2 realizes the version number has changed, as it happened before my patch. Since the statfs_change is happening at write_commit time and there may be multiple writes to the rindex file for one grow operation. So one consequence of this restructuring is that instead of getting one kernel message to indicate the change, you may see several. For example, before when you did a gfs2_grow, you'd get a single message like: GFS2: File system extended by 247876 blocks (968MB) Now you get something like: GFS2: File system extended by 207896 blocks (812MB) GFS2: File system extended by 39980 blocks (156MB) This version has also been successfully run against the hours-long "gfs2_fsck_hellfire" test that does several gfs2_grow and gfs2_fsck while interjecting file system damage. It does this repeatedly under a variety Resource Group conditions. Signed-off-By: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

| * | [GFS2] flush the glock completely in inode_go_syncBenjamin Marzinski2007-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix for bz #231910 When filemap_fdatawrite() is called on the inode mapping in data=ordered mode, it will add the glock to the log. In inode_go_sync(), if you do the gfs2_log_flush() before this, after the filemap_fdatawrite() call, the glock and its associated data buffers will be on the log again. This means you can demote a lock from exclusive, without having it flushed from the log. The attached patch simply moves the gfs2_log_flush up to after the filemap_fdatawrite() call. Originally, I tried moving the gfs2_log_flush to after gfs2_meta_sync(), but that caused me to trip the following assert. GFS2: fsid=cypher-36:test.0: fatal: assertion "!buffer_busy(bh)" failed GFS2: fsid=cypher-36:test.0: function = gfs2_ail_empty_gl, file = fs/gfs2/glops.c, line = 61 It appears that gfs2_log_flush() puts some of the glocks buffers in the busy state and the filemap_fdatawrite() call is necessary to flush them. This makes me worry slightly that a related problem could happen because of moving the gfs2_log_flush() after the initial filemap_fdatawrite(), but I assume that gfs2_ail_empty_gl() would catch that case as well.

Those customers that use xip on s390 are not using sendfile() as far as we know, and so far s390 is the only platform this could potentially be used on so far. Having sendfile is not a popular feature for execute in place file systems, however we have a working implementation of splice_read() based on fs/splice.c if anyone asks for it. At this point in time, it does not seem preferable to merge splice_read() for xip because it causes extra maintenence effort due to code duplication and it requires struct page behind the xip memory segment. We'd like to get rid of that in favor of supporting flash based embedded platforms (Monta Vista work) soon.

* | Fix elf_core_dump() when writing arch specific notes (spu coredumps)Michael Ellerman2007-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | elf_core_dump() supports dumping arch specific ELF notes, via the #define ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES. Currently the only user of this is the powerpc spu coredump code. There is a bug in the handling of foffset WRT the arch notes, which causes us to erroneously increment foffset by the size of the arch notes, leaving a block of zeroes in the file, and causing all subsequent data in the file to be at <supposed position> + <arch note size>. eg: LOAD 0x050000 0x00100000 0x00000000 0x20000 0x20000 R E 0x10000 Tells us we should have a chunk of data at 0x50000. The truth is the data is at 0x90dbc = 0x50000 + 0x40dbc (the size of the arch notes). This bug prevents gdb from reading the core file correctly. The simplest fix is to simply remember the size of the arch notes, and add it to foffset after we've written the arch notes. The only drawback is that if the arch code doesn't write as many bytes as it said it would, we end up with a broken core dump again. For now I think that's a reasonable requirement. Tested on a Cell blade, gdb no longer complains about the core file being bogus. While I'm here I should point out that the spu coredump code does not work if we're dumping to a pipe - we'll have to wait for 23 to fix that.

* | dio: remove bogus refcounting BUG_ONZach Brown2007-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Badari Pulavarty reported a case of this BUG_ON is triggering during testing. It's completely bogus and should be removed. It's trying to notice if we left references to the dio hanging around in the sync case. They should have been dropped as IO completed while this path was in dio_await_completion(). This condition will also be checked, via some twisty logic, by the BUG_ON(ret != -EIOCBQUEUED) a few lines lower. So to start this BUG_ON() is redundant. More fatally, it's dereferencing dio-> after having dropped its reference. It's only safe to dereference the dio after releasing the lock if the final reference was just dropped. Another CPU might free the dio in bio completion and reuse the memory after this path drops the dio lock but before the BUG_ON() is evaluated. This patch passed aio+dio regression unit tests and aio-stress on ext3.

* | Introduce fixed sys_sync_file_range2() syscall, implement on PowerPC and ARMDavid Woodhouse2007-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Not all the world is an i386. Many architectures need 64-bit arguments to be aligned in suitable pairs of registers, and the original sys_sync_file_range(int, loff_t, loff_t, int) was therefore wasting an argument register for padding after the first integer. Since we don't normally have more than 6 arguments for system calls, that left no room for the final argument on some architectures. Fix this by introducing sys_sync_file_range2(int, int, loff_t, loff_t) which all fits nicely. In fact, ARM already had that, but called it sys_arm_sync_file_range. Move it to fs/sync.c and rename it, then implement the needed compatibility routine. And stop the missing syscall check from bitching about the absence of sys_sync_file_range() if we've implemented sys_sync_file_range2() instead. Tested on PPC32 and with 32-bit and 64-bit userspace on PPC64.

* | eCryptfs: fix write zeros behaviorMichael Halcrow2007-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the processes involved in wiping regions of the data during truncate and write events, fixing a kernel hang in 2.6.22-rc4 while assuring that zero values are written out to the appropriate locations during events in which the i_size will change. The range passed to ecryptfs_truncate() from ecryptfs_prepare_write() includes the page that is the object of ecryptfs_prepare_write(). This leads to a kernel hang as read_cache_page() is executed on the same page in the ecryptfs_truncate() execution path. This patch remedies this by limiting the range passed to ecryptfs_truncate() so as to exclude the page that is the object of ecryptfs_prepare_write(); it also adds code to ecryptfs_prepare_write() to zero out the region of its own page when writing past the i_size position. This patch also modifies ecryptfs_truncate() so that when a file is truncated to a smaller size, eCryptfs will zero out the contents of the new last page from the new size through to the end of the last page.
