This cleans up a number of bits of code mostly based in glops.c. A couple of simple functions have been merged into the callers to make it more obvious what is going on, the mysterious raising of i_writecount around the truncate_inode_pages() call has been removed. The meta_go_* operations have been renamed rgrp_go_* since that is the only lock type that they are used with. The unused argument of gfs2_read_sb has been removed. Also a bug has been fixed where a check for the rindex inode was in the wrong callback. More comments are added, and the debugging code is improved too.

This adds a sysfs file called demote_rq to GFS2's per filesystem directory. Its possible to use this file to demote arbitrary glocks in exactly the same way as if a request had come in from a remote node. This is intended for testing issues relating to caching of data under glocks. Despite that, the interface is generic enough to send requests to any type of glock, but be careful as its not always safe to send an arbitrary message to an arbitrary glock. For that reason and to prevent DoS, this interface is restricted to root only. The messages look like this: <type>:<glocknumber> <mode> Example: echo -n "2:13324 EX" >/sys/fs/gfs2/unity:myfs/demote_rq Which means "please demote inode glock (type 2) number 13324 so that I can get an EX (exclusive) lock". The lock modes are those which would normally be sent by a remote node in its callback so if you want to unlock a glock, you use EX, to demote to shared, use SH or PR (depending on whether you like GFS2 or DLM lock modes better!). If the glock doesn't exist, you'll get -ENOENT returned. If the arguments don't make sense, you'll get -EINVAL returned. The plan is that this interface will be used in combination with the blktrace patch which I recently posted for comments although it is, of course, still useful in its own right.

This patch fixes a deadlock when the journal is flushed and there are dirty inodes other than the one which caused the journal flush. Originally the journal flushing code was trying to obtain the transaction glock while running the flush code for an inode glock. We no longer require the transaction glock at this point in time since we know that any attempt to get the transaction glock from another node will result in a journal flush. So if we are flushing the journal, we can be sure that the transaction lock is still cached from when the transaction was started. By inlining a version of gfs2_trans_begin() (minus the bit which gets the transaction glock) we can avoid the deadlock problems caused if there is a demote request queued up on the transaction glock. In addition I've also moved the umount rwsem so that it covers the glock workqueue, since it all demotions are done by this workqueue now. That fixes a bug on umount which I came across while fixing the original problem. Reported-by: NDavid Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This is the big patch that I've been working on for some time now. There are many reasons for wanting to make this change such as: o Reducing overhead by eliminating duplicated fields between structures o Simplifcation of the code (reduces the code size by a fair bit) o The locking interface is now the DLM interface itself as proposed some time ago. o Fewer lookups of glocks when processing replies from the DLM o Fewer memory allocations/deallocations for each glock o Scope to do further optimisations in the future (but this patch is more than big enough for now!) Please note that (a) this patch relates to the lock_dlm module and not the DLM itself, that is still a separate module; and (b) that we retain the ability to build GFS2 as a standalone single node filesystem with out requiring the DLM. This patch needs a lot of testing, hence my keeping it I restarted my -git tree after the last merge window. That way, this has the maximum exposure before its merged. This is (modulo a few minor bug fixes) the same patch that I've been posting on and off the the last three months and its passed a number of different tests so far.

This patch removes the two daemons, gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd and replaces them with a shrinker which is called from the VM. The net result is that GFS2 responds better when there is memory pressure, since it shrinks the glock cache at the same rate as the VFS shrinks the dcache and icache. There are no longer any time based criteria for shrinking glocks, they are kept until such time as the VM asks for more memory and then we demote just as many glocks as required. There are potential future changes to this code, including the possibility of sorting the glocks which are to be written back into inode number order, to get a better I/O ordering. It would be very useful to have an elevator based workqueue implementation for this, as that would automatically deal with the read I/O cases at the same time. This patch is my answer to Andrew Morton's remark, made during the initial review of GFS2, asking why GFS2 needs so many kernel threads, the answer being that it doesn't :-) This patch is a net loss of about 200 lines of code.

Following on from the recent clean up of gfs2_quotad, this patch moves the processing of "truncate in progress" inodes from the glock workqueue into gfs2_quotad. This fixes a hang due to the "truncate in progress" processing requiring glocks in order to complete. It might seem odd to use gfs2_quotad for this particular item, but we have to use a pre-existing thread since creating a thread implies a GFP_KERNEL memory allocation which is not allowed from the glock workqueue context. Of the existing threads, gfs2_logd and gfs2_recoverd may deadlock if used for this operation. gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd are both scheduled for removal at some (hopefully not too distant) future point. That leaves only gfs2_quotad whose workload is generally fairly light and is easily adapted for this extra task. Also, as a result of this change, it opens the way for a future patch to make the reading of the inode's information asynchronous with respect to the glock workqueue, which is another improvement that has been on the list for some time now.

The final field in gfs2_dinode_host was the i_flags field. Thats renamed to i_diskflags in order to avoid confusion with the existing inode flags, and moved into the inode proper at a suitable location to avoid creating a "hole".

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.

This patch fixes a GFS2 filesystem consistency error reported from function do_strip. The problem was caused by a timing window that allowed two vfs inodes to be created in memory that point to the same file. The problem is fixed by making the vfs's iget_test, iget_set mechanism check and set a new bit in the in-core gfs2_inode structure while the vfs inode spin_lock is held.

Previously we were doing (write data, wait for data, write metadata, wait for metadata). After this patch we so (write metadata, write data, wait for data, wait for metadata) which should be more efficient. Also I noticed that the drop_bh and xmote_bh functions were almost identical. In fact the only difference was a single test, and that test is such that in the drop_bh case, it would always evaluate to the correct result. As such we can use the xmote_bh functions in all the places where we were using the drop_bh function and remove the drop_bh functions. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

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.

This cleans up the mmap() code path for GFS2 by implementing the page_mkwrite function for GFS2. We are thus able to use the generic filemap_fault function for our ->fault() implementation. This now means that shared writable mappings will be much more efficiently shared across the cluster if there is a reasonable proportion of read activity (the greater proportion, the better). As a side effect, it also reduces the size of the code, removes special cases from readpage and readpages, and makes the code path easier to follow.

The following alters gfs2_trans_add_revoke() to take a struct gfs2_bufdata as an argument. This eliminates the memory allocation which was previously required by making use of the already existing struct gfs2_bufdata. It makes some sanity checks to ensure that the gfs2_bufdata has been removed from all the lists before its recycled as a revoke structure. This saves one memory allocation and one free per revoke structure. Also as a result, and to simplify the locking, since there is no longer any blocking code in gfs2_trans_add_revoke() we must hold the log lock whenever this function is called. This reduces the amount of times we take and unlock the log lock. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

When a lot of IO, with some distributed mmap IO, is run on a GFS2 filesystem in a cluster, it will deadlock. The reason is that do_no_page() will repeatedly call gfs2_sharewrite_nopage(), because each node keeps giving up the glock too early, and is forced to call unmap_mapping_range(). This bumps the mapping->truncate_count sequence count, forcing do_no_page() to retry. This patch institutes a minimum glock hold time a tenth a second. This insures that even in heavy contention cases, the node has enough time to get some useful work done before it gives up the glock. A second issue is that when gfs2_glock_dq() is called from within a page fault to demote a lock, and the associated page needs to be written out, it will try to acqire a lock on it, but it has already been locked at a higher level. This patch puts makes gfs2_glock_dq() use the work queue as well, to avoid this issue. This is the same patch as Steve Whitehouse originally proposed to fix this issue, execpt that gfs2_glock_dq() now grabs a reference to the glock before it queues up the work on it.

Fix for bz #231910 When filemap_fdatawrite() is called on the inode mapping in data=ordered mode, it will add the glock to the log. In inode_go_sync(), if you do the gfs2_log_flush() before this, after the filemap_fdatawrite() call, the glock and its associated data buffers will be on the log again. This means you can demote a lock from exclusive, without having it flushed from the log. The attached patch simply moves the gfs2_log_flush up to after the filemap_fdatawrite() call. Originally, I tried moving the gfs2_log_flush to after gfs2_meta_sync(), but that caused me to trip the following assert. GFS2: fsid=cypher-36:test.0: fatal: assertion "!buffer_busy(bh)" failed GFS2: fsid=cypher-36:test.0: function = gfs2_ail_empty_gl, file = fs/gfs2/glops.c, line = 61 It appears that gfs2_log_flush() puts some of the glocks buffers in the busy state and the filemap_fdatawrite() call is necessary to flush them. This makes me worry slightly that a related problem could happen because of moving the gfs2_log_flush() after the initial filemap_fdatawrite(), but I assume that gfs2_ail_empty_gl() would catch that case as well.

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.

This patch doesn't make any changes to the ordering of the various operations related to glocking, but it does tidy up the calls to the glops.c functions to make the structure more obvious. The two functions: gfs2_glock_xmote_th() and gfs2_glock_drop_th() can be made static within glock.c since they are called by every set of glock operations. The xmote_th and drop_th glock operations are then made conditional upon those two routines existing and called from the previously mentioned functions in glock.c respectively. Also it can be seen that the go_sync operation isn't needed since it can easily be replaced by calls to xmote_bh and drop_bh respectively. This results in no longer (confusingly) calling back into routines in glock.c from glops.c and also reducing the glock operations by one member.

Here is a patch for GFS2 to remove the local exclusive flag. In the places it was used, mutex's are always held earlier in the call path, so it appears redundant in the LM_ST_SHARED case. Also, the GFS2 holders were setting local exclusive in any case where the requested lock was LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE. So the other places in the glock code where the flag was tested have been replaced with tests for the lock state being LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE in order to ensure the logic is the same as before (i.e. LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE is always locally exclusive as well as globally exclusive).

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>

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>

Fix a bug in the directory reading code, where we might have dereferenced a NULL pointer in case of OOM. Updated the directory code to use the new & improved version of gfs2_meta_ra() which now returns the first block that was being read. Previously it was releasing it requiring following code to grab the block again at each point it was called. Also turned off readahead on directory lookups since we are reading a hash table, and therefore reading the entries in order is very unlikely. Readahead is still used for all other calls to the directory reading function (e.g. when growing the hash table). Removed the DIO_START constant. Everywhere this was used, it was used to unconditionally start i/o aside from a couple of places, so I've removed it and made the couple of exceptions to this rule into separate functions. Also hunted through the other DIO flags and removed them as arguments from functions which were always called with the same combination of arguments. Updated gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer to be a bit more efficient and hopefully also be a bit easier to read. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

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.
