      [GFS2] Clean up the glock core · 6802e340
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch implements a number of cleanups to the core of the
      GFS2 glock code. As a result a lot of code is removed. It looks
      like a really big change, but actually a large part of this patch
      is either removing or moving existing code.
      
      There are some new bits too though, such as the new run_queue()
      function which is considerably streamlined. Highlights of this
      patch include:
      
       o Fixes a cluster coherency bug during SH -> EX lock conversions
       o Removes the "glmutex" code in favour of a single bit lock
       o Removes the ->go_xmote_bh() for inodes since it was duplicating
         ->go_lock()
       o We now only use the ->lm_lock() function for both locks and
         unlocks (i.e. unlock is a lock with target mode LM_ST_UNLOCKED)
       o The fast path is considerably shortly, giving performance gains
         especially with lock_nolock
       o The glock_workqueue is now used for all the callbacks from the DLM
         which allows us to simplify the lock_dlm module (see following patch)
       o The way is now open to make further changes such as eliminating the two
         threads (gfs2_glockd and gfs2_scand) in favour of a more efficient
         scheme.
      
      This patch has undergone extensive testing with various test suites
      so it should be pretty stable by now.

      [GFS2] Remove unneeded i_spin · 598278bd
      Bob Peterson 提交于
      This patch removes a vestigial variable "i_spin" from the gfs2_inode
      structure.  This not only saves us memory (>300000 of these in memory
      for the oom test) it also saves us time because we don't have to
      spend time initializing it (i.e. slightly better performance).

      [GFS2] Reduce inode size by moving i_alloc out of line · 6dbd8224
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      It is possible to reduce the size of GFS2 inodes by taking the i_alloc
      structure out of the gfs2_inode. This patch allocates the i_alloc
      structure whenever its needed, and frees it afterward. This decreases
      the amount of low memory we use at the expense of requiring a memory
      allocation for each page or partial page that we write. A quick test
      with postmark shows that the overhead is not measurable and I also note
      that OCFS2 use the same approach.
      
      In the future I'd like to solve the problem by shrinking down the size
      of the members of the i_alloc structure, but for now, this reduces the
      immediate problem of using too much low-memory on x86 and doesn't add
      too much overhead.

      [GFS2] Remove useless i_cache from inodes · f91a0d3e
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      The i_cache was designed to keep references to the indirect blocks
      used during block mapping so that they didn't have to be looked
      up continually. The idea failed because there are too many places
      where the i_cache needs to be freed, and this has in the past been
      the cause of many bugs.
      
      In addition there was no performance benefit being gained since the
      disk blocks in question were cached anyway. So this patch removes
      it in order to simplify the code to prepare for other changes which
      would otherwise have had to add further support for this feature.

      slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag · 50953fe9
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
      SLAB.
      
      I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
      to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
      performed before each freeing of an object.
      
      I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
      before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
      manipulation of the object.
      
      Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
      compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
      handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
      SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
      in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
      use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
      same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).
      
      There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
      clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
      pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.
      
      This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
      unimplemented flags from SLUB.

      [GFS2] Fix bz 224480 and cleanup glock demotion code · 3b8249f6
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch prevents the printing of a warning message in cases where
      the fs is functioning normally by handing off responsibility for
      unlinked, but still open inodes, to another node for eventual deallocation.
      Also, there is now an improved system for ensuring that such requests
      to other nodes do not get lost. The callback on the iopen lock is
      only ever called when i_nlink == 0 and when a node is unable to deallocate
      it due to it still being in use on another node. When a node receives
      the callback therefore, it knows that i_nlink must be zero, so we mark
      it as such (in gfs2_drop_inode) in order that it will then attempt
      deallocation of the inode itself.
      
      As an additional benefit, queuing a demote request no longer requires
      a memory allocation. This simplifies the code for dealing with gfs2_holders
      as it removes one special case.
      
      There are two new fields in struct gfs2_glock. gl_demote_state is the
      state which the remote node has requested and gl_demote_time is the
      time when the request came in. Both fields are only valid when the
      GLF_DEMOTE flag is set in gl_flags.

      [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h · cd354f1a
      Tim Schmielau 提交于
      After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
      recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
      There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
      anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
      macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
      course of cleaning it up.
      
      To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
      removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
      
      Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
      arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
      allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
      configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
      introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
      by unnecessarily included header files).

      [GFS2] Use hlist for glock hash chains · b6397893
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      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.

      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.

      [GFS2] Fix unlinked file handling · feaa7bba
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch fixes the way we have been dealing with unlinked,
      but still open files. It removes all limits (other than memory
      for inodes, as per every other filesystem) on numbers of these
      which we can support on GFS2. It also means that (like other
      fs) its the responsibility of the last process to close the file
      to deallocate the storage, rather than the person who did the
      unlinking. Note that with GFS2, those two events might take place
      on different nodes.
      
      Also there are a number of other changes:
      
       o We use the Linux inode subsystem as it was intended to be
      used, wrt allocating GFS2 inodes
       o The Linux inode cache is now the point which we use for
      local enforcement of only holding one copy of the inode in
      core at once (previous to this we used the glock layer).
       o We no longer use the unlinked "special" file. We just ignore it
      completely. This makes unlinking more efficient.
       o We now use the 4th block allocation state. The previously unused
      state is used to track unlinked but still open inodes.
       o gfs2_inoded is no longer needed
       o Several fields are now no longer needed (and removed) from the in
      core struct gfs2_inode
       o Several fields are no longer needed (and removed) from the in core
      superblock
      
      There are a number of future possible optimisations and clean ups
      which have been made possible by this patch.
