      GFS2: remove iopen glocks from cache on failed deletes · 23c30108
      Benjamin Marzinski 提交于
      When a file gets deleted on GFS2, if a node can't get an exclusive lock on the
      file's iopen glock, it punts on actually freeing up the space, because another
      node is using the file.  When it does this, it needs to drop the iopen glock
      from its cache so that the other node can get an exclusive lock on it. Now,
      gfs2_delete_inode() sets GL_NOCACHE before dropping the shared lock on the
      iopen glock in preparation for grabbing it in the exclusive state.  Since the
      node needs the glock in the exclusive state, dropping the shared lock from the
      cache doesn't slow down the case where no other nodes are using the file.

      fs: icache RCU free inodes · fa0d7e3d
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
      
      - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
        permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
      - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
        to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
        the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
      - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
      - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
        page lock to follow page->mapping.
      
      The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
      creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
      reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
      kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
      
      In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
      during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
      not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
      
      The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
      however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
      so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
      real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
      doubt it will be a problem.

      GFS2: Remove localcaching mount option · c2048b00
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This option defaulted to on for lock_nolock mounts and off

      dentries. In the cluster case, that is entirely pointless and
      liable to cause coherency problems.
      
      The patch changes the revalidation to depend upon whether the
      fs is a local or cluster fs (i.e. it follows the existing default
      behaviour). I very much doubt anybody ever used this option as
      there is no reason to. Even so we will continue to accept it

      GFS2: Various gfs2_logd improvements · 5e687eac
      Benjamin Marzinski 提交于
      This patch contains various tweaks to how log flushes and active item writeback
      work. gfs2_logd is now managed by a waitqueue, and gfs2_log_reseve now waits
      for gfs2_logd to do the log flushing.  Multiple functions were rewritten to
      remove the need to call gfs2_log_lock(). Instead of using one test to see if
      gfs2_logd had work to do, there are now seperate tests to check if there
      are two many buffers in the incore log or if there are two many items on the
      active items list.
      
      This patch is a port of a patch Steve Whitehouse wrote about a year ago, with
      some minor changes.  Since gfs2_ail1_start always submits all the active items,
      it no longer needs to keep track of the first ai submitted, so this has been
      removed. In gfs2_log_reserve(), the order of the calls to
      prepare_to_wait_exclusive() and wake_up() when firing off the logd thread has
      been switched.  If it called wake_up first there was a small window for a race,
      where logd could run and return before gfs2_log_reserve was ready to get woken
      up. If gfs2_logd ran, but did not free up enough blocks, gfs2_log_reserve()
      would be left waiting for gfs2_logd to eventualy run because it timed out.
      Finally, gt_logd_secs, which controls how long to wait before gfs2_logd times
      out, and flushes the log, can now be set on mount with ar_commit.

      GFS2: Metadata address space clean up · 009d8518
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Since the start of GFS2, an "extra" inode has been used to store
      the metadata belonging to each inode. The only reason for using
      this inode was to have an extra address space, the other fields
      were unused. This means that the memory usage was rather inefficient.
      
      The reason for keeping each inode's metadata in a separate address
      space is that when glocks are requested on remote nodes, we need to
      be able to efficiently locate the data and metadata which relating
      to that glock (inode) in order to sync or sync and invalidate it
      (depending on the remotely requested lock mode).
      
      This patch adds a new type of glock, which has in addition to
      its normal fields, has an address space. This applies to all
      inode and rgrp glocks (but to no other glock types which remain
      as before). As a result, we no longer need to have the second
      inode.
      
      This results in three major improvements:
       1. A saving of approx 25% of memory used in caching inodes
       2. A removal of the circular dependency between inodes and glocks
       3. No confusion between "normal" and "metadata" inodes in super.c
      
      Although the first of these is the more immediately apparent, the
      second is just as important as it now enables a number of clean
      ups at umount time. Those will be the subject of future patches.

      GFS2: Be extra careful about deallocating inodes · acf7e244
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      There is a potential race in the inode deallocation code if two
      nodes try to deallocate the same inode at the same time. Most of
      the issue is solved by the iopen locking. There is still a small
      window which is not covered by the iopen lock. This patches fixes
      that and also makes the deallocation code more robust in the face of
      any errors in the rgrp bitmaps, or erroneous iopen callbacks from
      other nodes.
      
      This does introduce one extra disk read, but that is generally not
      an issue since its the same block that must be written to later
      in the deallocation process. The total disk accesses therefore stay
      the same,

      GFS2: Remove no_formal_ino generating code · 8d8291ae
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      The inum structure used throughout GFS2 has two fields. One
      no_addr is the disk block number of the inode in question and
      is used everywhere as the inode number. The other, no_formal_ino,
      is used only as the generation number for NFS.
      
      Historically the no_formal_ino field was set using a complicated
      system of one global and one per-node file containing inode numbers
      in order to ensure that each no_formal_ino was unique. Also this
      code made no provision for what would happen when eventually the
      (64 bit) numbers ran out. Now I know that is pretty unlikely to
      happen given the large space of numbers, but it is possible
      nevertheless.
      
      The only guarantee required for no_formal_ino is that, for any
      single inode, the same number doesn't get reused too quickly.
      
      We already have a generation number which is kept in the inode
      and initialised from a counter in the resource group (almost
      no overhead, since we have to touch the resource group anyway
      in order to allocate an inode in the first place). Aside from
      ensuring that we never use the value 0 in the no_formal_ino
      field, we can use that counter directly.
      
      As a result of that change, we lose about 200 lines of code and
      also gain about 10 creates/sec on the postmark benchmark (on
      my test machine).

      GFS2: keep statfs info in sync on grows · 1946f70a
      Benjamin Marzinski 提交于
      GFS2 wasn't syncing its statfs info on grows.  This causes a problem
      when you grow the filesystem on multiple nodes.  GFS2 would calculate
      the new space based on the resource groups (which are always current),
      and then assume that the filesystem had grown the from the existing
      statfs size.  If you grew the filesystem on two different nodes in a
      short time, the second node wouldn't see the statfs size change from the
      first node, and would assume that it was grown by a larger amount than
      it was.  When all these changes were synced out, the total fileystem
      size would be incorrect (the first grow would be counted twice).
      
      This patch syncs makes GFS2 read in the statfs changes from disk before
      a grow, and write them out after the grow, while the master statfs inode
      is locked.

      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
