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>

The GFS2 ->write_inode function should be more aggressive at writing back to the filesystem. This adopts the XFS system of returning -EAGAIN when the writeback has not been completely done. Also, we now kick off in-place writeback when called with WB_SYNC_NONE, but we only wait for it and flush the log when WB_SYNC_ALL is requested.

This patch fixes a deadlock in GFS2 where two processes are trying to reclaim an unlinked dinode: One holds the inode glock and calls gfs2_lookup_by_inum trying to look up the inode, which it can't, due to I_FREEING. The other has set I_FREEING from vfs and is at the beginning of gfs2_delete_inode waiting for the glock, which is held by the first. The solution is to add a new non_block parameter to the gfs2_iget function that causes it to return -ENOENT if the inode is being freed.

When a file gets deleted on GFS2, if a node can't get an exclusive lock on the file's iopen glock, it punts on actually freeing up the space, because another node is using the file. When it does this, it needs to drop the iopen glock from its cache so that the other node can get an exclusive lock on it. Now, gfs2_delete_inode() sets GL_NOCACHE before dropping the shared lock on the iopen glock in preparation for grabbing it in the exclusive state. Since the node needs the glock in the exclusive state, dropping the shared lock from the cache doesn't slow down the case where no other nodes are using the file.

RCU free the struct inode. This will allow: - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must. - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking. - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the page lock to follow page->mapping. The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts kicking over, this increases to about 20%. In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller. The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking, so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I doubt it will be a problem. Signed-off-by: NNick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

This option defaulted to on for lock_nolock mounts and off otherwise. The only function was to avoid the revalidation of dentries. In the cluster case, that is entirely pointless and liable to cause coherency problems. The patch changes the revalidation to depend upon whether the fs is a local or cluster fs (i.e. it follows the existing default behaviour). I very much doubt anybody ever used this option as there is no reason to. Even so we will continue to accept it on the mount command line, but ignore it.

Function gfs2_write_alloc_required always returned zero as its return code. Therefore, it doesn't need to return a return code at all. Given that, we can use the return value to return whether or not the dinode needs block allocations rather than passing that value in, which in turn simplifies a bunch of error checking.

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.

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.

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 the start of GFS2, an "extra" inode has been used to store the metadata belonging to each inode. The only reason for using this inode was to have an extra address space, the other fields were unused. This means that the memory usage was rather inefficient. The reason for keeping each inode's metadata in a separate address space is that when glocks are requested on remote nodes, we need to be able to efficiently locate the data and metadata which relating to that glock (inode) in order to sync or sync and invalidate it (depending on the remotely requested lock mode). This patch adds a new type of glock, which has in addition to its normal fields, has an address space. This applies to all inode and rgrp glocks (but to no other glock types which remain as before). As a result, we no longer need to have the second inode. This results in three major improvements: 1. A saving of approx 25% of memory used in caching inodes 2. A removal of the circular dependency between inodes and glocks 3. No confusion between "normal" and "metadata" inodes in super.c Although the first of these is the more immediately apparent, the second is just as important as it now enables a number of clean ups at umount time. Those will be the subject of future patches. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

Although all glocks are, by the time of the umount glock wait, scheduled for demotion, some of them haven't made it far enough through the process for the original set of waiting code to wait for them. This extends the ref count to the whole glock lifetime in order to ensure that the waiting does catch all glocks. It does make it a bit more invasive, but it seems the only sensible solution at the moment. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

GFS2 now has three new mount options, statfs_quantum, quota_quantum and statfs_percent. statfs_quantum and quota_quantum simply allow you to set the tunables of the same name. Setting setting statfs_quantum to 0 will also turn on the statfs_slow tunable. statfs_percent accepts an integer between 0 and 100. Numbers between 1 and 100 will cause GFS2 to do any early sync when the local number of blocks free changes by at least statfs_percent from the totoal number of blocks free. Setting statfs_percent to 0 disables this. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

We have a long term plan to use the "-o meta" flag to GFS2 mounts to access the alternate root which is used to store metadata for a GFS2 filesystem. This will allow us to eventually remove support for the gfs2meta filesystem type (which is in any case just a "front end" to the gfs2 filesystem type with the meta/master root). Currently the "-o meta" option is only taken into account on the initial mount of the filesystem. Subsequent mounts of the same filesystem (i.e. on the same device) result in basically the same as bind mounting the root of the original mount. This patch changes that by using what is more or less a copy of get_sb_bdev() and extending it so that it will take into account the alternate root in all cases. The main difference is that we have to parse the mount options a bit earlier. We can then use them to select the appropriate root towards the end of the function. In addition this also fixes a bug where it was possible (but certainly not desirable) to set different ro/rw options for the meta root when mounted via the gfs2meta fs compared with the original mount.

There is a potential race in the inode deallocation code if two nodes try to deallocate the same inode at the same time. Most of the issue is solved by the iopen locking. There is still a small window which is not covered by the iopen lock. This patches fixes that and also makes the deallocation code more robust in the face of any errors in the rgrp bitmaps, or erroneous iopen callbacks from other nodes. This does introduce one extra disk read, but that is generally not an issue since its the same block that must be written to later in the deallocation process. The total disk accesses therefore stay the same, Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

The inum structure used throughout GFS2 has two fields. One no_addr is the disk block number of the inode in question and is used everywhere as the inode number. The other, no_formal_ino, is used only as the generation number for NFS. Historically the no_formal_ino field was set using a complicated system of one global and one per-node file containing inode numbers in order to ensure that each no_formal_ino was unique. Also this code made no provision for what would happen when eventually the (64 bit) numbers ran out. Now I know that is pretty unlikely to happen given the large space of numbers, but it is possible nevertheless. The only guarantee required for no_formal_ino is that, for any single inode, the same number doesn't get reused too quickly. We already have a generation number which is kept in the inode and initialised from a counter in the resource group (almost no overhead, since we have to touch the resource group anyway in order to allocate an inode in the first place). Aside from ensuring that we never use the value 0 in the no_formal_ino field, we can use that counter directly. As a result of that change, we lose about 200 lines of code and also gain about 10 creates/sec on the postmark benchmark (on my test machine). Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This patch adds "-o errors=panic" and "-o errors=withdraw" to the gfs2 mount options. The "errors=withdraw" option is today's current behaviour, meaning to withdraw from the file system if a non-serious gfs2 error occurs. The new "errors=panic" option tells gfs2 to force a kernel panic if a non-serious gfs2 file system error occurs. This may be useful, for example, where fabric-level fencing is used that has no way to reboot (such as fence_scsi).

It has also been added to the remount path as well - we can't use a change uevent there as older GFS2 userspace acts on change uevents according to the state that it thinks the fs is in, so we can't easily add any new ones.

When a file is deleted from a gfs2 filesystem on one node, a dcache entry for it may still exist on other nodes in the cluster. If this happens, gfs2 will be unable to free this file on disk. Because of this, it's possible to have a gfs2 filesystem with no files on it and no free space. With this patch, when a node receives a callback notifying it that the file is being deleted on another node, it schedules a new workqueue thread to remove the file's dcache entry.

GFS2 wasn't syncing its statfs info on grows. This causes a problem when you grow the filesystem on multiple nodes. GFS2 would calculate the new space based on the resource groups (which are always current), and then assume that the filesystem had grown the from the existing statfs size. If you grew the filesystem on two different nodes in a short time, the second node wouldn't see the statfs size change from the first node, and would assume that it was grown by a larger amount than it was. When all these changes were synced out, the total fileystem size would be incorrect (the first grow would be counted twice). This patch syncs makes GFS2 read in the statfs changes from disk before a grow, and write them out after the grow, while the master statfs inode is locked.
