      [GFS2] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_private (gfs) · bba9dfd8
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
      on a UP x86.  (It would be more on an x86_64 system).  This is a 10% reduction
      in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
      (i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
      save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
      disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
      in the VFS inode structure).
      
      This patch:
      
      The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
      which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
      using the void pointer.  Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
      a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer.  This is just a
      cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
      the union will actually be used.

      [GFS2] Fix bug in Makefiles for lock modules · 7e18c02b
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      The Makefile had the wrong CONFIG_ variable in it so that in
      case GFS2 was y and the lock modules were m, they were not
      getting built properly.

      [GFS2] Tidy up meta_io code · 7276b3b0
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      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.

      [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.

      [GFS2] Rewrite of examine_bucket() · 24264434
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      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.

      [GFS2] Move rwlocks in glock.c into their own array · 37b2fa6a
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      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.
