      [GFS2] Further updates to dir and logging code · 71b86f56
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This reduces the size of the directory code by about 3k and gets
      readdir() to use the functions which were introduced in the previous
      directory code update.
      
      Two memory allocations are merged into one. Eliminates zeroing of some
      buffers which were never used before they were initialised by
      other data.
      
      There is still scope for further improvement in the directory code.
      
      On the logging side, a hand created mutex has been replaced by a
      standard Linux mutex in the log allocation code.

      [GFS2] Make journaled data files identical to normal files on disk · 18ec7d5c
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This is a very large patch, with a few still to be resolved issues
      so you might want to check out the previous head of the tree since
      this is known to be unstable. Fixes for the various bugs will be
      forthcoming shortly.
      
      This patch removes the special data format which has been used
      up till now for journaled data files. Directories still retain the
      old format so that they will remain on disk compatible with earlier
      releases. As a result you can now do the following with journaled
      data files:
      
       1) mmap them
       2) export them over NFS
       3) convert to/from normal files whenever you want to (the zero length
          restriction is gone)
      
      In addition the level at which GFS' locking is done has changed for all
      files (since they all now use the page cache) such that the locking is
      done at the page cache level rather than the level of the fs operations.
      This should mean that things like loopback mounts and other things which
      touch the page cache directly should now work.
      
      Current known issues:
      
       1. There is a lock mode inversion problem related to the resource
          group hold function which needs to be resolved.
       2. Any significant amount of I/O causes an oops with an offset of hex 320
          (NULL pointer dereference) which appears to be related to a journaled data
          buffer appearing on a list where it shouldn't be.
       3. Direct I/O writes are disabled for the time being (will reappear later)
       4. There is probably a deadlock between the page lock and GFS' locks under
          certain combinations of mmap and fs operation I/O.
       5. Issue relating to ref counting on internally used inodes causes a hang
          on umount (discovered before this patch, and not fixed by it)
       6. One part of the directory metadata is different from GFS1 and will need
          to be resolved before next release.
