      GFS2: The war on bloat · 37ec89e8
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      The following patch shrinks the gfs2_args structure which is embedded in
      every GFS2 superblock. It cuts down the size of the options to a single
      unsigned int (the 13 bits of bitfields will be rounded up to that size
      by the compiler) from the current 11 unsigned ints. So on x86 thats 44
      bytes shrinking to 4 bytes, in each and every GFS2 superblock.

      GFS2: Fix metafs mounts · 9b8df98f
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch is intended to fix the issues reported in bz #457798. Instead
      of having the metafs as a separate filesystem, it becomes a second root
      of gfs2. As a result it will appear as type gfs2 in /proc/mounts, but it
      is still possible (for backwards compatibility purposes) to mount it as
      type gfs2meta. A new mount flag "meta" is introduced so that its possible
      to tell the two cases apart in /proc/mounts.
      
      As a result it becomes possible to mount type gfs2 with -o meta and
      get the same result as mounting type gfs2meta. So it is possible to
      mount just the metafs on its own. Currently if you do this, its then
      impossible to mount the "normal" root of the gfs2 filesystem without
      first unmounting the metafs root. I'm not sure if thats a feature or
      a bug :-)
      
      Either way, this is a great improvement on the previous scheme and I've
      verified that it works ok with bind mounts on both the "normal" root
      and the metafs root in various combinations.
      
      There were also a bunch of functions in super.c which didn't belong there,
      so this moves them into ops_fstype.c where they can be static. Hopefully
      the mount/umount sequence is now more obvious as a result.

      [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.

      [GFS2] Clean up journaled data writing · 16615be1
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch cleans up the code for writing journaled data into the log.
      It also removes the need to allocate a small "tag" structure for each
      block written into the log. Instead we just keep count of the outstanding
      I/O so that we can be sure that its all been written at the correct time.
      Another result of this patch is that a number of ll_rw_block() calls
      have become submit_bh() calls, closing some races at the same time.

      [GFS2] Replace revoke structure with bufdata structure · 82e86087
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Both the revoke structure and the bufdata structure are quite similar.
      They are basically small tags which are put on lists. In addition to
      which the revoke structure is always allocated when there is a bufdata
      structure which is (or can be) freed. As such it should be possible to
      reduce the number of frees and allocations by using the same structure
      for both purposes.
      
      This patch is the first step along that path. It replaces existing uses
      of the revoke structure with the bufdata structure.

      [GFS2] Clean up ordered write code · d7b616e2
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      The following patch removes the ordered write processing from
      databuf_lo_before_commit() and moves it to log.c. This has the effect of
      greatly simplyfying databuf_lo_before_commit() and well as potentially
      making the ordered write code more efficient.
      
      As a side effect of this, its now possible to remove ordered buffers
      from the ordered buffer list at any time, so we now make use of this in
      invalidatepage and releasepage to ensure timely release of these
      buffers.
