      GFS2: Add tracepoints · 63997775
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch adds the ability to trace various aspects of the GFS2
      filesystem. The trace points are divided into three groups,
      glocks, logging and bmap. These points have been chosen because
      they allow inspection of the major internal functions of GFS2
      and they are also generic enough that they are unlikely to need
      any major changes as the filesystem evolves.

      GFS2: Umount recovery race fix · fe64d517
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch fixes a race condition where we can receive recovery
      requests part way through processing a umount. This was causing
      problems since the recovery thread had already gone away.
      
      Looking in more detail at the recovery code, it was really trying
      to implement a slight variation on a work queue, and that happens to
      align nicely with the recently introduced slow-work subsystem. As a
      result I've updated the code to use slow-work, rather than its own home
      grown variety of work queue.
      
      When using the wait_on_bit() function, I noticed that the wait function
      that was supplied as an argument was appearing in the WCHAN field, so
      I've updated the function names in order to produce more meaningful
      output.

      GFS2: Add a "demote a glock" interface to sysfs · 64d576ba
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This adds a sysfs file called demote_rq to GFS2's
      per filesystem directory. Its possible to use this
      file to demote arbitrary glocks in exactly the same
      way as if a request had come in from a remote node.
      
      This is intended for testing issues relating to caching
      of data under glocks. Despite that, the interface is
      generic enough to send requests to any type of glock,
      but be careful as its not always safe to send an
      arbitrary message to an arbitrary glock. For that reason
      and to prevent DoS, this interface is restricted to root
      only.
      
      The messages look like this:
      
      <type>:<glocknumber> <mode>
      
      Example:
      
      echo -n "2:13324 EX" >/sys/fs/gfs2/unity:myfs/demote_rq
      
      Which means "please demote inode glock (type 2) number 13324 so that
      I can get an EX (exclusive) lock". The lock modes are those which
      would normally be sent by a remote node in its callback so if you
      want to unlock a glock, you use EX, to demote to shared, use SH or PR
      (depending on whether you like GFS2 or DLM lock modes better!).
      
      If the glock doesn't exist, you'll get -ENOENT returned. If the
      arguments don't make sense, you'll get -EINVAL returned.
      
      The plan is that this interface will be used in combination with
      the blktrace patch which I recently posted for comments although
      it is, of course, still useful in its own right.

      GFS2: Fix deadlock on journal flush · d8348de0
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch fixes a deadlock when the journal is flushed and there
      are dirty inodes other than the one which caused the journal flush.
      Originally the journal flushing code was trying to obtain the
      transaction glock while running the flush code for an inode glock.
      We no longer require the transaction glock at this point in time
      since we know that any attempt to get the transaction glock from
      another node will result in a journal flush. So if we are flushing
      the journal, we can be sure that the transaction lock is still
      cached from when the transaction was started.
      
      By inlining a version of gfs2_trans_begin() (minus the bit which
      gets the transaction glock) we can avoid the deadlock problems
      caused if there is a demote request queued up on the transaction
      glock.
      
      In addition I've also moved the umount rwsem so that it covers
      the glock workqueue, since it all demotions are done by this
      workqueue now. That fixes a bug on umount which I came across
      while fixing the original problem.

      GFS2: Merge lock_dlm module into GFS2 · f057f6cd
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This is the big patch that I've been working on for some time
      now. There are many reasons for wanting to make this change
      such as:
       o Reducing overhead by eliminating duplicated fields between structures
       o Simplifcation of the code (reduces the code size by a fair bit)
       o The locking interface is now the DLM interface itself as proposed
         some time ago.
       o Fewer lookups of glocks when processing replies from the DLM
       o Fewer memory allocations/deallocations for each glock
       o Scope to do further optimisations in the future (but this patch is
         more than big enough for now!)
      
      Please note that (a) this patch relates to the lock_dlm module and
      not the DLM itself, that is still a separate module; and (b) that
      we retain the ability to build GFS2 as a standalone single node
      filesystem with out requiring the DLM.
      
      This patch needs a lot of testing, hence my keeping it I restarted
      my -git tree after the last merge window. That way, this has the maximum
      exposure before its merged. This is (modulo a few minor bug fixes) the
      same patch that I've been posting on and off the the last three months
      and its passed a number of different tests so far.

      GFS2: Fix use-after-free bug on umount · 3af165ac
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      There was a use-after-free with the GFS2 super block during
      umount. This patch moves almost all of the umount code from
      ->put_super into ->kill_sb, the only bit that cannot be moved
      being the glock hash clearing which has to remain as ->put_super
      due to umount ordering requirements. As a result its now obvious
      that the kfree is the final operation, whereas before it was
      hidden in ->put_super.
      
      Also gfs2_jindex_free is then only referenced from a single file
      so thats moved and marked static too.

      GFS2: Kill two daemons with one patch · 97cc1025
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch removes the two daemons, gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd
      and replaces them with a shrinker which is called from the VM.
      
      The net result is that GFS2 responds better when there is memory
      pressure, since it shrinks the glock cache at the same rate
      as the VFS shrinks the dcache and icache. There are no longer
      any time based criteria for shrinking glocks, they are kept
      until such time as the VM asks for more memory and then we
      demote just as many glocks as required.
      
      There are potential future changes to this code, including the
      possibility of sorting the glocks which are to be written back
      into inode number order, to get a better I/O ordering. It would
      be very useful to have an elevator based workqueue implementation
      for this, as that would automatically deal with the read I/O cases
      at the same time.
      
      This patch is my answer to Andrew Morton's remark, made during
      the initial review of GFS2, asking why GFS2 needs so many kernel
      threads, the answer being that it doesn't :-) This patch is a
      net loss of about 200 lines of code.

      GFS2: Fix "truncate in progress" hang · 813e0c46
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Following on from the recent clean up of gfs2_quotad, this patch moves
      the processing of "truncate in progress" inodes from the glock workqueue
      into gfs2_quotad. This fixes a hang due to the "truncate in progress"
      processing requiring glocks in order to complete.
      
      It might seem odd to use gfs2_quotad for this particular item, but
      we have to use a pre-existing thread since creating a thread implies
      a GFP_KERNEL memory allocation which is not allowed from the glock
      workqueue context. Of the existing threads, gfs2_logd and gfs2_recoverd
      may deadlock if used for this operation. gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd are
      both scheduled for removal at some (hopefully not too distant) future
      point. That leaves only gfs2_quotad whose workload is generally fairly
      light and is easily adapted for this extra task.
      
      Also, as a result of this change, it opens the way for a future patch to
      make the reading of the inode's information asynchronous with respect to
      the glock workqueue, which is another improvement that has been on the list
      for some time now.

      GFS2: high time to take some time over atime · 719ee344
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Until now, we've used the same scheme as GFS1 for atime. This has failed
      since atime is a per vfsmnt flag, not a per fs flag and as such the
      "noatime" flag was not getting passed down to the filesystems. This
      patch removes all the "special casing" around atime updates and we
      simply use the VFS's atime code.
      
      The net result is that GFS2 will now support all the same atime related
      mount options of any other filesystem on a per-vfsmnt basis. We do lose
      the "lazy atime" updates, but we gain "relatime". We could add lazy
      atime to the VFS at a later date, if there is a requirement for that
      variant still - I suspect relatime will be enough.
      
      Also we lose about 100 lines of code after this patch has been applied,
      and I have a suspicion that it will speed things up a bit, even when
      atime is "on". So it seems like a nice clean up as well.
      
      From a user perspective, everything stays the same except the loss of
      the per-fs atime quantum tweekable (ought to be per-vfsmnt at the very
      least, and to be honest I don't think anybody ever used it) and that a
      number of options which were ignored before now work correctly.
      
      Please let me know if you've got any comments. I'm pushing this out
      early so that you can all see what my plans are.

      Steven Whitehouse 提交于

      [GFS2] Allow local DF locks when holding a cached EX glock · 209806ab
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      We already allow local SH locks while we hold a cached EX glock, so here
      we allow DF locks as well. This works only because we rely on the VFS's
      invalidation for locally cached data, and because if we hold an EX lock,
      then we know that no other node can be caching data relating to this
      file.
      
      It dramatically speeds up initial writes to O_DIRECT files since we fall
      back to buffered I/O for this and would otherwise bounce between DF and
      EX modes on each and every write call. The lessons to be learned from
      that are to ensure that (for the time being anyway) O_DIRECT files are
      preallocated and that they are written to using reasonably large I/O
      sizes. Even so this change fixes that corner case nicely

      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      There are several reasons why this is undesirable:
      
       1. It never happens during normal operation anyway
       2. If it does happen it causes performance to be very, very poor
       3. It isn't likely to solve the original problem (memory shortage
          on remote DLM node) it was supposed to solve
       4. It uses a bunch of arbitrary constants which are unlikely to be
          correct for any particular situation and for which the tuning seems
          to be a black art.
       5. In an N node cluster, only 1/N of the dropped locked will actually
          contribute to solving the problem on average.

      [GFS2] Clean up the glock core · 6802e340
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch implements a number of cleanups to the core of the
      GFS2 glock code. As a result a lot of code is removed. It looks
      like a really big change, but actually a large part of this patch
      is either removing or moving existing code.
      
      There are some new bits too though, such as the new run_queue()
      function which is considerably streamlined. Highlights of this
      patch include:
      
       o Fixes a cluster coherency bug during SH -> EX lock conversions
       o Removes the "glmutex" code in favour of a single bit lock
       o Removes the ->go_xmote_bh() for inodes since it was duplicating
         ->go_lock()
       o We now only use the ->lm_lock() function for both locks and
         unlocks (i.e. unlock is a lock with target mode LM_ST_UNLOCKED)
       o The fast path is considerably shortly, giving performance gains
         especially with lock_nolock
       o The glock_workqueue is now used for all the callbacks from the DLM
         which allows us to simplify the lock_dlm module (see following patch)
       o The way is now open to make further changes such as eliminating the two
         threads (gfs2_glockd and gfs2_scand) in favour of a more efficient
         scheme.
      
      This patch has undergone extensive testing with various test suites
      so it should be pretty stable by now.
