This patch contains a few misc fixes which resolve a recently reported issue. This patch has been a real team effort and has received a lot of testing. The first issue is that the ail lock needs to be held over a few more operations. The lock thats added into gfs2_releasepage() may possibly be a candidate for replacing with RCU at some future point, but at this stage we've gone for the obvious fix. The second issue is that gfs2_write_inode() can end up calling a glock recursively when called from gfs2_evict_inode() via the syncing code, so it needs a guard added. The third issue is that we either need to not truncate the metadata pages of inodes which have zero link count, but which we cannot deallocate due to them still being in use by other nodes, or we need to ensure that those pages have all made it through the journal and ail lists first. This patch takes the former approach, but the latter has also been tested and there is nothing to choose between them performance-wise. So again, we could revise that decision in the future. Also, the inode eviction process is now better documented.

There is a potential race during filesystem mounting which has recently been reported. It occurs when the userland gfs_controld is able to process requests fast enough that it tries to use the sysfs interface before the lock module is properly initialised. This is a pretty unusual case as normally the lock module initialisation is very quick compared with gfs_controld. This patch adds an interruptible completion which is used to ensure that userland will wait for the initialisation of the lock module to complete. There are other potential solutions to this problem, but this is the quickest at this stage and has been tested both with and without mount.gfs2 present in the system.

Right now, there is nothing that forces the log to get flushed when a node drops its rindex glock so that another node can grow the filesystem. If the log doesn't get flushed, GFS2 can corrupt the sd_log_le_rg list in the following way. A node puts an rgd on the list in rg_lo_add(), and then the rindex glock is dropped so the other node can grow the filesystem. When the node reacquires the rindex glock, that rgd gets deleted in clear_rgrpdi() before ever being removed from the list by gfs2_log_flush(). This code simply forces a log flush when the rindex glock is invalidated, solving the problem.

This patch fixes a race in the GFS2 glock state machine that may result in lockups. The symptom is that all nodes but one will hang, waiting for a particular glock. All the holder records will have the "W" (Waiting) bit set. The other node will typically have the glock stuck in Exclusive mode (EX) with no holder records, but the dinode will be cached. In other words, an entry with "I:" will appear in the glock dump for that glock, but nothing else. The race has to do with the glock "Pending Demote" bit, which can be set, then immediately reset, thus losing the fact that another node needs the glock. The sequence of events is: 1. Something schedules the glock workqueue (e.g. glock request from fs) 2. The glock workqueue gets to the point between the test of the reply pending bit and the spin lock: if (test_and_clear_bit(GLF_REPLY_PENDING, &gl->gl_flags)) { finish_xmote(gl, gl->gl_reply); drop_ref = 1; } down_read(&gfs2_umount_flush_sem); <---- i.e. here spin_lock(&gl->gl_spin); 3. In comes (a) the reply to our EX lock request setting GLF_REPLY_PENDING and (b) the demote request which sets GLF_PENDING_DEMOTE 4. The following test is executed: if (test_and_clear_bit(GLF_PENDING_DEMOTE, &gl->gl_flags) && gl->gl_state != LM_ST_UNLOCKED && gl->gl_demote_state != LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE) { This resets the pending demote flag, and gl->gl_demote_state is not equal to exclusive, however because the reply from the dlm arrived after we checked for the GLF_REPLY_PENDING flag, gl->gl_state is still equal to unlocked, so although we reset the GLF_PENDING_DEMOTE flag, we didn't then set the GLF_DEMOTE flag or reinstate the GLF_PENDING_DEMOTE_FLAG. The patch closes the timing window by only transitioning the "Pending demote" bit to the "demote" flag once we know the other conditions (not unlocked and not exclusive) are met.

The ail flush code has always relied upon log flushing to prevent it from spinning needlessly. This fixes it to wait on the last I/O request submitted (we don't need to wait for all of it) instead of either spinning with io_schedule or sleeping. As a result cpu usage of gfs2_logd is much reduced with certain workloads.

The deallocation code for directories in GFS2 is largely divided into two parts. The first part deallocates any directory leaf blocks and marks the directory as being a regular file when that is complete. The second stage was identical to deallocating regular files. Regular files have their data blocks in a different address space to directories, and thus what would have been normal data blocks in a regular file (the hash table in a GFS2 directory) were deallocated correctly. However, a reference to these blocks was left in the journal (assuming of course that some previous activity had resulted in those blocks being in the journal or ail list). This patch uses the i_depth as a test of whether the inode is an exhash directory (we cannot test the inode type as that has already been changed to a regular file at this stage in deallocation) The original issue was reported by Chris Hertel as an issue he encountered running bonnie++ Reported-by: NChristopher R.

This function was intended for debugging purposes, but it is not very useful. If we want to know what is on disk then all we need is a block number and gfs2_edit can give us much better information about what is there.

This adds an increment of the link count when we add a new directory entry, if that entry is itself a directory. This means that we no longer need separate code to perform this operation.

When we remove an entry from a directory, we can save ourselves some trouble if we know the type of the entry in question, since if it is itself a directory, we can update the link count of the parent at the same time as removing the directory entry. In addition this patch also merges the rmdir and unlink code which was almost identical anyway. This eliminates the calls to remove the . and .. directory entries on each rmdir (not needed since the directory will be deallocated, anyway) which was the only thing preventing passing the dentry to gfs2_dir_del(). The passing of the dentry rather than just the name allows us to figure out the type of the entry which is being removed, and thus adjust the link count when required.

Previously we marked all locks being promoted to a higher mode with the try flag to avoid any potential deadlocks issues. The DLM is able to detect these and report them in way that GFS2 can deal with them correctly. So we can just request the required mode and wait for a response without needing to perform this check.

To avoid any possible races relating to the link count, we need to recheck it under the inode's glock in all cases where it matters. Also to ensure we never get any nasty surprises, this patch also ensures that once the link count has hit zero it can never be elevated by rereading in data from disk. The only place we cannot provide a proper solution is in rename in the case where we are removing a target inode and we discover that the target inode has been already unlinked on another node. The race window is very small, and we return EAGAIN in this case to indicate what has happened. The proper solution would be to move the lookup parts of rename from the vfs into library calls which the fs could call directly, but that is potentially a very big job and this fix should cover most cases for now.

If the buffer is dirty or pinned, then as well as printing a warning, we should also refuse to release the page in question. Currently this can occur if there is a race between mmap()ed writers and O_DIRECT on the same file. With the addition of ->launder_page() in the future, we should be able to close this gap.

The GFS2 fallocate code chooses a target size to for allocating chunks of space. Whenever it can't find any resource groups with enough space free, it halves its target. Since this target is in bytes, eventually it will no longer be a multiple of blksize. As long as there is more space available in the resource group than the target, this isn't a problem, since gfs2 will use the actual space available, which is always a multiple of blksize. However, when gfs couldn't fallocate a bigger chunk than the target, it was using the non-blksize aligned number. This caused a BUG in later code that required blksize aligned offsets. GFS2 now ensures that bytes is always a multiple of blksize Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

The GLF_LRU flag introduced in the previous patch can be used to check if a glock is on the lru list when a new holder is queued and if so remove it, without having first to get the lru_lock. The main purpose of this patch however is to optimise the glocks left over when an inode at end of life is being evicted. Previously such glocks were left with the GLF_LFLUSH flag set, so that when reclaimed, each one required a log flush. This patch resets the GLF_LFLUSH flag when there is nothing left to flush thus preventing later log flushes as glocks are reused or demoted. In order to do this, we need to keep track of the number of revokes which are outstanding, and also to clear the GLF_LFLUSH bit after a log commit when only revokes have been processed.

This adds support for two new flags. One keeps track of whether the glock is on the LRU list or not. The other isn't really a flag as such, but an indication of whether the glock has an attached object or not. This indication is reported without any locking, which is ok since we do not dereference the object pointer but merely report whether it is NULL or not. Also, this fixes one place where a tracepoint was missing, which was at the point we remove deallocated blocks from the journal. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

Rather than allowing the glocks to be scheduled for possible reclaim as soon as they have exited the journal, this patch delays their entry to the list until the glocks in question are no longer in use. This means that we will rely on the vm for writeback of all dirty data and metadata from now on. When glocks are added to the lru list they should be freeable much faster since all the I/O required to free them should have already been completed. This should lead to much better I/O patterns under low memory conditions. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
