      GFS2: Clean up of extended attribute support · 40b78a32
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This has been on my list for some time. We need to change the way
      in which we handle extended attributes to allow faster file creation
      times (by reducing the number of transactions required) and the
      extended attribute code is the main obstacle to this.
      
      In addition to that, the VFS provides a way to demultiplex the xattr
      calls which we ought to be using, rather than rolling our own. This
      patch changes the GFS2 code to use that VFS feature and as a result
      the code shrinks by a couple of hundred lines or so, and becomes
      easier to read.
      
      I'm planning on doing further clean up work in this area, but this
      patch is a good start. The cleaned up code also uses the more usual
      "xattr" shorthand, I plan to eliminate the use of "eattr" eventually
      and in the mean time it serves as a flag as to which bits of the code
      have been updated.

      GFS2: free disk inode which is deleted by remote node -V2 · 970343cd
      Wengang Wang 提交于
      this patch is for the same problem that Benjamin Marzinski fixes at commit
      b94a170e
      
      quotation of the original problem:
      
      ---cut here---
      When a file is deleted from a gfs2 filesystem on one node, a dcache
      entry for it may still exist on other nodes in the cluster. If this
      happens, gfs2 will be unable to free this file on disk. Because of this,
      it's possible to have a gfs2 filesystem with no files on it and no free
      space. With this patch, when a node receives a callback notifying it
      that the file is being deleted on another node, it schedules a new
      workqueue thread to remove the file's dcache entry.
      ---end cut---
      
      after applying Benjamin's patch, I think there is still a case in which the disk
      inode remains even when "no space" is hit. the case is that when running
      d_prune_aliases() against the inode, there are one or more dentries(aliases)
      which have reference count number > 0. in this case the dentries won't be pruned.
      and even later, the reference count becomes to 0, the dentries can still be
      cached in memory. unfortunately, no callback come again, things come back to
      the state before the callback runs. thus the on disk inode remains there until
      in memoryinode is removed for some other reason(shrinking inode cache or unmount
      the volume..).
      
      this patch is to remove those dentries when their reference count becomes to 0 and
      the inode is deleted by remote node. for implementation, gfs2_dentry_delete() is
      added as dentry_operations.d_delete. the function returns true when the inode is
      deleted by remote node. in dput(), gfs2_dentry_delete() is called and since it
      returns true, the dentry is unhashed from dcache and then removed. when all dentries
      are removed, the in memory inode get removed so that the on disk inode is freed.
