      GFS2: Remove obsolete assert · 534029e2
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Given that a resource group has been locked, there is no reason why
      we should not be able to allocate as many blocks as are free. The
      al_requested parameter should really be considered as a minimum
      number of blocks to be available. Should this limit be overshot,
      there are other mechanisms which will prevent over allocation.

      GFS2: Cache the most recently used resource group in the inode · 54335b1f
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This means that after the initial allocation for any inode, the
      last used resource group is cached in the inode for future use.
      This drastically reduces the number of lookups of resource
      groups in the common case, and this the contention on that
      data structure.
      
      The allocation algorithm is the same as previously, except that we
      always check to see if the goal block is within the cached rgrp
      first before going to the rbtree to look one up.

      GFS2: Make resource groups "append only" during life of fs · 8339ee54
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Since we have ruled out supporting online filesystem shrink,
      it is possible to make the resource group list append only
      during the life of a super block. This gives several benefits:
      
      Firstly, we only need to read new rindex elements as they are added
      rather than needing to reread the whole rindex file each time one
      element is added.
      
      Secondly, the rindex glock can be held for much shorter periods of
      time, and is completely removed from the fast path for allocations.
      The lock is taken in shared mode only when updating the resource
      groups when the first allocation occurs, and after a grow has
      taken place.
      
      Thirdly, this results in a reduction in code size, and everything
      gets a lot simpler to understand in this area.

      GFS2: Use rbtree for resource groups and clean up bitmap buffer ref count scheme · 7c9ca621
      Bob Peterson 提交于
      Here is an update of Bob's original rbtree patch which, in addition, also
      resolves the rather strange ref counting that was being done relating to
      the bitmap blocks.
      
      Originally we had a dual system for journaling resource groups. The metadata
      blocks were journaled and also the rgrp itself was added to a list. The reason
      for adding the rgrp to the list in the journal was so that the "repolish
      clones" code could be run to update the free space, and potentially send any
      discard requests when the log was flushed. This was done by comparing the
      "cloned" bitmap with what had been written back on disk during the transaction
      commit.
      
      Due to this, there was a requirement to hang on to the rgrps' bitmap buffers
      until the journal had been flushed. For that reason, there was a rather
      complicated set up in the ->go_lock ->go_unlock functions for rgrps involving
      both a mutex and a spinlock (the ->sd_rindex_spin) to maintain a reference
      count on the buffers.
      
      However, the journal maintains a reference count on the buffers anyway, since
      they are being journaled as metadata buffers. So by moving the code which deals
      with the post-journal accounting for bitmap blocks to the metadata journaling
      code, we can entirely dispense with the rather strange buffer ref counting
      scheme and also the requirement to journal the rgrps.
      
      The net result of all this is that the ->sd_rindex_spin is left to do exactly
      one job, and that is to look after the rbtree or rgrps.
      
      This patch is designed to be a stepping stone towards using RCU for the rbtree
      of resource groups, however the reduction in the number of uses of the
      ->sd_rindex_spin is likely to have benefits for multi-threaded workloads,
      anyway.
      
      The patch retains ->go_lock and ->go_unlock for rgrps, however these maybe also
      be removed in future in favour of calling the functions directly where required
      in the code. That will allow locking of resource groups without needing to
      actually read them in - something that could be useful in speeding up statfs.
      
      In the mean time though it is valid to dereference ->bi_bh only when the rgrp
      is locked. This is basically the same rule as before, modulo the references not
      being valid until the following journal flush.

      GFS2: Fix lseek after SEEK_DATA, SEEK_HOLE have been added · 9453615a
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      We need to take the inode's glock whenever the inode's size
      is referenced, otherwise it might not be uptodate. Even
      though generic_file_llseek_unlocked() doesn't implement
      SEEK_DATA, SEEK_HOLE directly, it does reference the inode's
      size in those cases, so we need to add them to the list
      of origins which need the glock.

      GFS2: Use ->dirty_inode() · ab9bbda0
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      The aim of this patch is to use the newly enhanced ->dirty_inode()
      super block operation to deal with atime updates, rather than
      piggy backing that code into ->write_inode() as is currently
      done.
      
      The net result is a simplification of the code in various places
      and a reduction of the number of gfs2_dinode_out() calls since
      this is now implied by ->dirty_inode().
      
      Some of the mark_inode_dirty() calls have been moved under glocks
      in order to take advantage of then being able to avoid locking in
      ->dirty_inode() when we already have suitable locks.
      
      One consequence is that generic_write_end() now correctly deals
      with file size updates, so that we do not need a separate check
      for that afterwards. This also, indirectly, means that fdatasync
      should work correctly on GFS2 - the current code always syncs the
      metadata whether it needs to or not.
      
      Has survived testing with postmark (with and without atime) and
      also fsx.

      GFS2: Fix bug trap and journaled data fsync · f1818529
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Journaled data requires that a complete flush of all dirty data for
      the file is done, in order that the ail flush which comes after
      will succeed.
      
      Also the recently enhanced bug trap can trigger falsely in case
      an ail flush from fsync races with a page read. This updates the
      bug trap such that it will ignore buffers which are locked and
      only trigger on dirty and/or pinned buffers when the ail flush
      is run from fsync. The original bug trap is retained when ail
      flush is run from ->go_sync()

      GFS2: Fix inode allocation error path · 40ac218f
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      If we have got far enough through the inode allocation code
      path that an inode has already been allocated, then we must
      call iput to dispose of it, if an error occurs during a
      later part of the process. This will always be the final iput
      since there will be no other references to the inode.
      
      Unlike when the inode has been unlinked, its block state will
      be GFS2_BLKST_INODE rather than GFS2_BLKST_UNLINKED so we need
      to skip the test in ->evict_inode() for this one case in order
      to ensure that it will be deallocated correctly. This patch adds
      a new flag in order to ensure that this will happen correctly.

      GFS2: Resolve inode eviction and ail list interaction bug · 380f7c65
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      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.

      GFS2: Fix race during filesystem mount · 3942ae53
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      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.

      GFS2: force a log flush when invalidating the rindex glock · 1ce53368
      Benjamin Marzinski 提交于
      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.
