      [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] Fix problems relating to execution of files on GFS2 · 9656b2c1
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch fixes a couple of problems which affected the execution of files
      on GFS2. The first is that there was a corner case where inodes were not
      always uptodate at the point at which permissions checks were being carried
      out, this was resulting in refusal of execute permission, but only on the
      first lookup, subsequent requests worked correctly. The second was a problem
      relating to incorrect updating of file sizes which was introduced with the
      write_begin/end code for GFS2 a little while back.

      This patch is just a cleanup.  Function gfs2_get_block() just calls

      [GFS2] Remove useless i_cache from inodes · f91a0d3e

      The i_cache was designed to keep references to the indirect blocks

      [GFS2] Use ->page_mkwrite() for mmap() · 3cc3f710

      generic filemap_fault function for our ->fault() implementation.

      efficiently shared across the cluster if there is a reasonable
      proportion of read activity (the greater proportion, the better).

      mm: merge populate and nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear) · 54cb8821
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes
      the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings.
      
      ->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code
      should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping.  The hitch here
      is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie.  pgoff).
       But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function
      calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation).
      
      Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing
      to be doing.
      
      This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and
      ->populate and (later) ->nopfn.  Most of the old mechanism is still in place
      so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if
      everyone switches over.
      
      The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are
      subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid
      to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two.
      
      After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in
      pagecache.  Seems like a fringe functionality anyway.
      
      NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed.  This should be implemented with ->fault, and no
      users have hit mainline yet.

      [GFS2] Journaled file write/unstuff bug · 8fb68595
      Robert Peterson 提交于
      This patch is for bugzilla bug 283162, which uncovered a number of
      bugs pertaining to writing to files that have the journaled bit on.
      These bugs happen most often when writing to the meta_fs because
      the files are always journaled.  So operations like gfs2_grow were
      particularly vulnerable, although many of the problems could be
      recreated with normal files after setting the journaled bit on.
      The problems fixed are:
      
      -GFS2 wasn't ever writing unstuffed journaled data blocks to their
       in-place location on disk. Now it does.
      
      -If you unmounted too quickly after doing IO to a journaled file,
       GFS2 was crashing because you would discard a buffer whose bufdata
       was still on the active items list.  GFS2 now deals with this
       gracefully.
      
      -GFS2 was losing track of the bufdata for journaled data blocks,
       and it wasn't getting freed, causing an error when you tried to
       unmount the module.  GFS2 now frees all the bufdata structures.
      
      -There was a memory corruption occurring because GFS2 wrote
       twice as many log entries for journaled buffers.
      
      -It was occasionally trying to write journal headers in buffers
       that weren't currently mapped.

      [GFS2] fix jdata issues · ddf4b426
      Benjamin Marzinski 提交于
      This is a patch for the first three issues of RHBZ #238162
      
      The first issue is that when you allocate a new page for a file, it will not
      start off uptodate. This makes sense, since you haven't written anything to that
      part of the file yet.  Unfortunately, gfs2_pin() checks to make sure that the
      buffers are uptodate.  The solution to this is to mark the buffers uptodate in
      gfs2_commit_write(), after they have been zeroed out and have the data written
      into them.  I'm pretty confident with this fix, although it's not completely
      obvious that there is no problem with marking the buffers uptodate here.
      
      The second issue is simply that you can try to pin a data buffer that is already
      on the incore log, and thus, already pinned. This patch checks to see if this
      buffer is already on the log, and exits databuf_lo_add() if it is, just like
      buf_lo_add() does.
      
      The third issue is that gfs2_log_flush() doesn't do it's block accounting
      correctly.  Both metadata and journaled data are logged, but gfs2_log_flush()
      only compares the number of metadata blocks with the number of blocks to commit
      to the ondisk journal.  This patch also counts the journaled data blocks.

      [GFS2] Clean up inode number handling · dbb7cae2
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch cleans up the inode number handling code. The main difference
      is that instead of looking up the inodes using a struct gfs2_inum_host
      we now use just the no_addr member of this structure. The tests relating
      to no_formal_ino can then be done by the calling code. This has
      advantages in that we want to do different things in different code
      paths if the no_formal_ino doesn't match. In the NFS patch we want to
      return -ESTALE, but in the ->lookup() path, its a bug in the fs if the
      no_formal_ino doesn't match and thus we can withdraw in this case.
      
      In order to later fix bz #201012, we need to be able to look up an inode
      without knowing no_formal_ino, as the only information that is known to
      us is the on-disk location of the inode in question.
      
      This patch will also help us to fix bz #236099 at a later date by
      cleaning up a lot of the code in that area.
      
      There are no user visible changes as a result of this patch and there
      are no changes to the on-disk format either.

      [GFS2] kernel changes to support new gfs2_grow command · 7ae8fa84
      Robert Peterson 提交于
      This is another revision of my gfs2 kernel patch that allows
      gfs2_grow to function properly.
      
      Steve Whitehouse expressed some concerns about the previous
      patch and I restructured it based on his comments.
      The previous patch was doing the statfs_change at file close time,
      under its own transaction.  The current patch does the statfs_change
      inside the gfs2_commit_write function, which keeps it under the
      umbrella of the inode transaction.
      
      I can't call ri_update to re-read the rindex file during the
      transaction because the transaction may have outstanding unwritten
      buffers attached to the rgrps that would be otherwise blown away.
      So instead, I created a new function, gfs2_ri_total, that will
      re-read the rindex file just to total the file system space
      for the sake of the statfs_change.  The ri_update will happen
      later, when gfs2 realizes the version number has changed, as it
      happened before my patch.
      
      Since the statfs_change is happening at write_commit time and there
      may be multiple writes to the rindex file for one grow operation.
      So one consequence of this restructuring is that instead of getting
      one kernel message to indicate the change, you may see several.
      For example, before when you did a gfs2_grow, you'd get a single
      message like:
      
      GFS2: File system extended by 247876 blocks (968MB)
      
      Now you get something like:
      
      GFS2: File system extended by 207896 blocks (812MB)
      GFS2: File system extended by 39980 blocks (156MB)
      
      This version has also been successfully run against the hours-long
      "gfs2_fsck_hellfire" test that does several gfs2_grow and gfs2_fsck
      while interjecting file system damage.  It does this repeatedly
      under a variety Resource Group conditions.

      [GFS2] Fix bz 231380, unlock page before dequeing glocks in gfs2_commit_write · 1de91390
      Josef Whiter 提交于
      If we are writing a file, and in the middle of writing the file
      another node attempts to get a shared lock on that file (by doing a du for
      example) the process doing the writing will hang waiting on lock_page.  The
      reason for this is because when we have waiters on a exclusive glock, we will go
      through and flush out all dirty pages associated with that inode and release the
      lock.  The problem is that when we flush the dirty pages, we could hit a page
      that we have locked durring the generic_file_buffered_write part of this
      operation.  This patch unlocks the page before we go to dequeue the lock and
      locks it immediatly afterwards, since generic_file_buffered_write needs the page
      locked when the commit_write is completed.  This patch resolves the problem,
      however if somebody sees a better way to do this please don't hesistate to yell.

      [GFS2] fix hangup when multiple processes are trying to write to the same file · a13cbe37
      Josef Whiter 提交于
      This fixes a problem I encountered while running bonnie++.  When you have one
      thread that opens a file and starts to write to it, and then another thread that
      tries to open and write to the same file, the second thread will loop forever
      trying to grab the inode lock for that inode.  Basically we come in through
      generic_buffered_file_write, which calls gfs2_prepare_write, which then attempts
      to grab the glock.  Because we don't own the lock, gfs2_prepare_write gets
      GLR_TRYFAILED, which returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE to generic_buffered_file_write.
      At this point generic_buffered_file_write loops around again and immediately
      retries the prepare_write.  This means that the second process never gets off of
      the processor in order to allow the process that holds the lock to finish its
      work and let go of the lock.  This patch makes gfs2_glock_nq schedule() if it
      gets back a GLR_TRYFAILED, which resolves this problem.

      [GFS2] Add writepages for "data=writeback" mounts · a8d638e3
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      It occurred to me that although a gfs2 specific writepages for ordered
      writes and journaled data would be tricky, by hooking writepages only
      for "data=writeback" mounts we could take advantage of not needing
      buffer heads (we don't use them on the read side, nor have we for some
      time) and create much larger I/Os for the block layer.
      
      Using blktrace both before and after, its possible to see that for large
      I/Os, most of the requests generated through writepages are now 1024
      sectors after this patch is applied as opposed to 8 sectors before.

      [GFS2] Fail over to readpage for stuffed files · e1d5b18a
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This is partially derrived from a patch written by Russell Cattelan.
      It fixes a bug where there is a race between readpages and truncate
      by ignoring readpages for stuffed files. This is ok because a stuffed
      file will never be more than one block (minus sizeof(struct gfs2_dinode))
      in size and block size is always less than page size, so we do not lose
      anything efficiency-wise by not doing readahead for stuffed files. They
      will have already been "read ahead" by the action of reading the inode
      in, in the first place.
      
      This is the remaining part of the fix for Red Hat bugzilla #218966
      which had not yet made it upstream.

      [GFS2] Fix DIO deadlock · c7b33834
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch fixes Red Hat bugzilla #212627 in which a deadlock occurs
      due to trying to take the i_mutex while holding a glock. The correct
      locking order is defined as i_mutex -> glock in all cases.
      
      I've left dealing with allocating writes. I know that we need to do
      that, but for now this should do the trick. We don't need to take the
      i_mutex on write, because the VFS has already taken it for us. On read
      we don't need it since the glock is enough protection. The reason that
      I've made some of the checks into a separate function is that we'll need
      to do the checks again in the allocating write case eventually, so this
      is partly in preparation for this. Likewise the return value test of !=
      1 might look a bit odd and thats because we'll need a third return value
      in case of requiring an allocation.
      
      I've made the change to deferred mode on the glock to ensure flushing
      read caches on other nodes. I notice that (using blktrace to look at
      whats going on) we appear to do a better job of large I/Os than ext3
      after this patch (in terms of not splitting up the I/Os).
