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.

Recently a feature was added to GFS2 to allow journal id allocation via sysfs. This patch builds upon that so that a negative journal id will be treated as an error code to be passed back as the return code from mount. This allows termination of the mount process if there is a failure. Also, the process has been updated so that the kernel will wait for a journal id, even in the "spectator" case. This is required in order to avoid mounting a filesystem in case there is an error while joining the cluster. In the spectator case, 0 is written into the file to indicate that all is well, and that mount should continue. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This patch implements a wait for the journal id in the case that it has not been specified on the command line. This is to allow the future removal of the mount.gfs2 helper. The journal id would instead be directly communicated by gfs_controld to the file system. Here is a comparison of the two systems: Current: 1. mount calls mount.gfs2 2. mount.gfs2 connects to gfs_controld to retrieve the journal id 3. mount.gfs2 adds the journal id to the mount command line and calls the mount system call 4. gfs_controld receives the status of the mount request via a uevent Proposed: 1. mount calls the mount system call (no mount.gfs2 helper) 2. gfs_controld receives a uevent for a gfs2 fs which it doesn't know about already 3. gfs_controld assigns a journal id to it via sysfs 4. the mount system call then completes as normal (sending a uevent according to status) The advantage of the proposed system is that it is completely backward compatible with the current system both at the kernel and at the userland levels. The "first" parameter can also be set the same way, with the restriction that it must be set before the journal id is assigned. In addition, if mount becomes stuck waiting for a reply from gfs_controld which never arrives, then it is killable and will abort the mount gracefully.

The following patch adds a message to indicate when barriers have been disabled due to a block device which doesn't support them. You could already tell this via the mount options in /proc/mounts, but all the other filesystems also log a message at the same time. Also, the same mechanisms are used to indicate when the lock demote interface has been used (only ever used for debugging) which is a request from our support team.

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.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

Move it into vfs_quota_sync and add a wait parameter to ->quota_sync to tell if we need it or not.

As a consequence of the previous patch, we can now remove the loop which used to be required due to the circular dependency between the inodes and glocks. Instead we can just invalidate the inodes, and then clear up any glocks which are left. Also we no longer need the rwsem since there is no longer any danger of the inode invalidation calling back into the glock code (and from there back into the inode code).

Since we can cat /proc/mounts there is no need to have this subdirectory in the gfs2 sysfs files. In fact this does not reflect the full range of possible mount argumenmts, where as /proc/mounts does. There was only one userland user of this set of sysfs files and it will function perfectly well without these files being present (in fact that subcommand of gfs2_tool is obsolete anyway). The tune/* subdirectory is also considered mostly obsolete, but there are a few uses of this until mount arguments can be added for the last few functions for which there are no equivalents currently. However the tune/* directory is still in my sights and new code should avoid using it. Only the gfs2_quota and gfs2_tool programs are know to use tune/* at the moment.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This patch is a clean up of gfs2_quotad prior to giving it an extra job to do in addition to the current portfolio of updating the quota and statfs information from time to time. As a result it has been moved into quota.c allowing one of the functions it calls to be made static. Also the clean up allows the two existing functions to have separate timeouts and also to coexist with its future role of dealing with the "truncate in progress" inode flag. The (pointless) setting of gfs2_quotad_secs is removed since we arrange to only wake up quotad when one of the two timers expires. In addition the struct gfs2_quota_data is moved into a slab cache, mainly for easier debugging. It should also be possible to use a shrinker in the future, rather than the current scheme of scanning the quota data entries from time to time.

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. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

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. So all in all we are better off without it. This also makes merging the lock_dlm module into GFS2 a bit easier. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

The functions in lm.c were just wrappers which were mostly only used in one other file. By moving the functions to the files where they are being used, they can be marked static and also this will usually result in them being inlined since they are often only used from one point in the code. A couple of really trivial functions have been inlined by hand into the function which called them as it makes the code clearer to do that. We also gain from one fewer function call in the glock lock and unlock paths. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
