      GFS2: Clean up log write code path · e8c92ed7
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Prior to this patch, we have two ways of sending i/o to the log.
      One of those is used when we need to allocate both the data
      to be written itself and also a buffer head to submit it. This
      is done via sb_getblk and friends. This is used mostly for writing
      log headers.
      
      The other method is used when writing blocks which have some
      in-place counterpart. This is the case for all the metadata
      blocks which are journalled, and when journaled data is in use,
      for unescaped journalled data blocks.
      
      This patch replaces both of those two methods, and about half
      a dozen separate i/o submission points with a single i/o
      submission function. We also go direct to bio rather than
      using buffer heads, since this allows us to build i/o
      requests of the maximum size for the block device in
      question. It also reduces the memory required for flushing
      the log, which can be very useful in low memory situations.

      [GFS2] Only do lo_incore_commit once · d0109bfa
      Bob Peterson 提交于
      This patch is performance related.  When we're doing a log flush,
      I noticed we were calling buf_lo_incore_commit twice: once for
      data bufs and once for metadata bufs.  Since this is the same
      function and does the same thing in both cases, there should be
      no reason to call it twice.  Since we only need to call it once,
      we can also make it faster by removing it from the generic "lops"
      code and making it a stand-along static function.

      [GFS2] assertion failure after writing to journaled file, umount · 2332c443
      Robert Peterson 提交于
      This patch passes all my nasty tests that were causing the code to
      fail under one circumstance or another.  Here is a complete summary
      of all changes from today's git tree, in order of appearance:
      
      1. There are now separate variables for metadata buffer accounting.
      2. Variable sd_log_num_hdrs is no longer needed, since the header
         accounting is taken care of by the reserve/refund sequence.
      3. Fixed a tiny grammatical problem in a comment.
      4. Added a new function "calc_reserved" to calculate the reserved
         log space.  This isn't entirely necessary, but it has two benefits:
         First, it simplifies the gfs2_log_refund function greatly.
         Second, it allows for easier debugging because I could sprinkle the
         code with calls to this function to make sure the accounting is
         proper (by adding asserts and printks) at strategic point of the code.
      5. In log_pull_tail there apparently was a kludge to fix up the
         accounting based on a "pull" parameter.  The buffer accounting is
         now done properly, so the kludge was removed.
      6. File sync operations were making a call to gfs2_log_flush that
         writes another journal header.  Since that header was unplanned
         for (reserved) by the reserve/refund sequence, the free space had
         to be decremented so that when log_pull_tail gets called, the free
         space is be adjusted properly.  (Did I hear you call that a kludge?
         well, maybe, but a lot more justifiable than the one I removed).
      7. In the gfs2_log_shutdown code, it optionally syncs the log by
         specifying the PULL parameter to log_write_header.  I'm not sure
         this is necessary anymore.  It just seems to me there could be
         cases where shutdown is called while there are outstanding log
         buffers.
      8. In the (data)buf_lo_before_commit functions, I changed some offset
         values from being calculated on the fly to being constants.	That
         simplified some code and we might as well let the compiler do the
         calculation once rather than redoing those cycles at run time.
      9. This version has my rewritten databuf_lo_add function.
         This version is much more like its predecessor, buf_lo_add, which
         makes it easier to understand.  Again, this might not be necessary,
         but it seems as if this one works as well as the previous one,
         maybe even better, so I decided to leave it in.
      10. In databuf_lo_before_commit, a previous data corruption problem
         was caused by going off the end of the buffer.  The proper solution
         is to have the proper limit in place, rather than stopping earlier.
         (Thus my previous attempt to fix it is wrong).
         If you don't wrap the buffer, you're stopping too early and that
         causes more log buffer accounting problems.
      11. In lops.h there are two new (previously mentioned) constants for
         figuring out the data offset for the journal buffers.
      12. There are also two new functions, buf_limit and databuf_limit to
         calculate how many entries will fit in the buffer.
      13. In function gfs2_meta_wipe, it needs to distinguish between pinned
         metadata buffers and journaled data buffers for proper journal buffer
         accounting.	It can't use the JDATA gfs2_inode flag because it's
         sometimes passed the "real" inode and sometimes the "metadata
         inode" and the inode flags will be random bits in a metadata
         gfs2_inode.	It needs to base its decision on which was passed in.

      [GFS2] Update copyright, tidy up incore.h · e9fc2aa0
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      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 a ref count bug and other clean ups · b09e593d
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This fixes a ref count bug that sometimes showed up a umount time
      (causing it to hang) but it otherwise mostly harmless. At the same
      time there are some clean ups including making the log operations
      structures const, moving a memory allocation so that its not done
      in the fast path of checking to see if there is an outstanding
      transaction related to a particular glock.
      
      Removes the sd_log_wrap varaible which was updated, but never actually
      used anywhere. Updates the gfs2 ioctl() to run without the kernel lock
      (which it never needed anyway). Removes the "invalidate inodes" loop
      from GFS2's put_super routine. This is done in kill super anyway so
      we don't need to do it here. The loop was also bogus in that if there
      are any inodes "stuck" at this point its a bug and we need to know
      about it rather than hide it by hanging forever.
