The "greedy" code was an attempt to retain glocks for a minimum length of time when they relate to mmap()ed files. The current implementation of this feature is not, however, ideal in that it required allocating memory in order to do this and its overly complicated. It also misses the mark by ignoring the other I/O operations which are just as likely to suffer from the same problem. So the plan is to remove this now and then add the functionality back as part of the glock state machine at a later date (and thus take into account all the possible users of this feature) Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

Here is something I spotted (while looking for something entirely different) the other day. Rather than using a completion in each and every struct gfs2_holder, this removes it in favour of hashed wait queues, thus saving a considerable amount of memory both on the stack (where a number of gfs2_holder structures are allocated) and in particular in the gfs2_inode which has 8 gfs2_holder structures embedded within it. As a result on x86_64 the gfs2_inode shrinks from 2488 bytes to 1912 bytes, a saving of 576 bytes per inode (no thats not a typo!). In actual practice we get a much better result than that since now that a gfs2_inode is under the 2048 byte barrier, we get two per 4k slab page effectively halving the amount of memory required to store gfs2_inodes.

This removes the extra filldir callback which gfs2 was using to enclose an attempt at readahead for inodes during readdir. The code was too complicated and also hurts performance badly in the case that the getdents64/readdir call isn't being followed by stat() and it wasn't even getting it right all the time when it was. As a result, on my test box an "ls" of a directory containing 250000 files fell from about 7mins (freshly mounted, so nothing cached) to between about 15 to 25 seconds. When the directory content was cached, the time taken fell from about 3mins to about 4 or 5 seconds. Interestingly in the cached case, running "ls -l" once reduced the time taken for subsequent runs of "ls" to about 6 secs even without this patch. Now it turns out that there was a special case of glocks being used for prefetching the metadata, but because of the timeouts for these locks (set to 10 secs) the metadata was being timed out before it was being used and this the prefetch code was constantly trying to prefetch the same data over and over. Calling "ls -l" meant that the inodes were brought into memory and once the inodes are cached, the glocks are not disposed of until the inodes are pushed out of the cache, thus extending the lifetime of the glocks, and thus bringing down the time for subsequent runs of "ls" considerably.

This fixes a bug which resulted in poor performance due to flushing the journal too often. The code path in question was via the inode_go_sync() function in glops.c. The solution is not to flush the journal immediately when inodes are ejected from memory, but batch up the work for glockd to deal with later on. This means that glocks may now live on beyond the end of the lifetime of their inodes (but not very much longer in the normal case). Also fixed in this patch is a bug (which was hidden by the bug mentioned above) in calculation of the number of free journal blocks. The gfs2_logd process has been altered to be more responsive to the journal filling up. We now wake it up when the number of uncommitted journal blocks has reached the threshold level rather than trying to flush directly at the end of each transaction. This again means doing fewer, but larger, log flushes in general. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

The go_sync callback took two flags, but one of them was set on every call, so this patch removes once of the flags and makes the previously conditional operations (on this flag), unconditional. The go_inval callback took three flags, each of which was set on every call to it. This patch removes the flags and makes the operations unconditional, which makes the logic rather more obvious. Two now unused flags are also removed from incore.h. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This results in smaller list heads, so that we can have more chains in the same amount of memory (twice as many). I've multiplied the size of the table by four though - this is because we are saving memory by not having one lock per chain any more. So we land up using about the same amount of memory for the hash table as we did before I started these changes, the difference being that we now have four times as many hash chains. The reason that I say "about the same amount of memory" is that the actual amount now depends upon the NR_CPUS and some of the config variables, so that its not exact and in some cases we do use more memory. Eventually we might want to scale the hash table size according to the size of physical ram as measured on module load. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

The existing implementation of this function in glock.c was not very efficient as it relied upon keeping a cursor element upon the hash chain in question and moving it along. This new version improves upon this by using the current element as a cursor. This is possible since we only look at the "next" element in the list after we've taken the read_lock() subsequent to calling the examiner function. Obviously we have to eventually drop the ref count that we are then left with and we cannot do that while holding the read_lock, so we do that next time we drop the lock. That means either just before we examine another glock, or when the loop has terminated. The new implementation has several advantages: it uses only a read_lock() rather than a write_lock(), so it can run simnultaneously with other code, it doesn't need a "plug" element, so that it removes a test not only from this list iterator, but from all the other glock list iterators too. So it makes things faster and smaller. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This splits the rwlocks guarding the hash chains of the glock hash table into their own array. This will reduce memory usage in some cases due to better alignment, although the real reason for doing it is to allow the two tables to be different sizes in future (i.e. the locks will be sized proportionally with the max number of CPUs and the hash chains sized proportinally with the size of physical memory) In order to allow this, the gl_bucket member of struct gfs2_glock has now become gl_hash, so we record the hash rather than a pointer to the bucket itself.

There are several reasons why we want to do this: - Firstly its large and thus we'll scale better with multiple GFS2 fs mounted at the same time - Secondly its easier to scale its size as required (thats a plan for later patches) - Thirdly, we can use kzalloc rather than vmalloc when allocating the superblock (its now only 4888 bytes) - Fourth its all part of my plan to eventually be able to use RCU with the glock hash.

As per comments from Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> this updates the copyright message to say "version" in full rather than "v.2". Also incore.h has been updated to remove forward structure declarations which are not required. The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added to it. Also quota.c has been updated so that we now store the lvb data locally in endian independant format to avoid needing a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess conversions are done as required at various points and thus the conversion routines in lvb.[ch] are no longer required. I've moved the one remaining constant in lvb.h thats used into lm.h and removed the unused lvb.[ch]. I have not changed the HIF_ constants. That is left to a later patch which I hope will unify the gh_flags and gh_iflags fields of the struct gfs2_holder.

I noticed the gfs2_scand seemed to be taking a lot of CPU, so in order to cut that down a bit, here is a patch. Firstly the type of a glock is a constant during its lifetime, so that its possible to check this without needing locking. I've moved the (common) case of testing for an inode glock outside of the glmutex lock. Also there was a mutex left over from when the glock cache was master of the inode cache. That isn't required any more so I've removed that too. There is probably scope for further speed ups in the future in this area. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This means that we don't need to create a special inode just to contain a struct address_space in order to read a single disk block. Instead we read the disk block directly. Its slightly faster, and uses slightly less memory, but the real reason for doing this is that it removes a special case from the glock code. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
