      ocfs2: Cache system inodes of other slots. · b4d693fc
      Tao Ma 提交于
      Durring orphan scan, if we are slot 0, and we are replaying
      orphan_dir:0001, the general process is that for every file
      in this dir:
      1. we will iget orphan_dir:0001, since there is no inode for it.
         we will have to create an inode and read it from the disk.
      2. do the normal work, such as delete_inode and remove it from
         the dir if it is allowed.
      3. call iput orphan_dir:0001 when we are done. In this case,
         since we have no dcache for this inode, i_count will
         reach 0, and VFS will have to call clear_inode and in
         ocfs2_clear_inode we will checkpoint the inode which will let
         ocfs2_cmt and journald begin to work.
      4. We loop back to 1 for the next file.
      
      So you see, actually for every deleted file, we have to read the
      orphan dir from the disk and checkpoint the journal. It is very
      time consuming and cause a lot of journal checkpoint I/O.
      A better solution is that we can have another reference for these
      inodes in ocfs2_super. So if there is no other race among
      nodes(which will let dlmglue to checkpoint the inode), for step 3,
      clear_inode won't be called and for step 1, we may only need to
      read the inode for the 1st time. This is a big win for us.
      
      So this patch will try to cache system inodes of other slots so
      that we will have one more reference for these inodes and avoid
      the extra inode read and journal checkpoint.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      ocfs2: Remove i_generation from inode lock names · 24c19ef4
      Mark Fasheh 提交于
      OCFS2 puts inode meta data in the "lock value block" provided by the DLM.
      Typically, i_generation is encoded in the lock name so that a deleted inode
      on and a new one in the same block don't share the same lvb.
      
      Unfortunately, that scheme means that the read in ocfs2_read_locked_inode()
      is potentially thrown away as soon as the meta data lock is taken - we
      cannot encode the lock name without first knowing i_generation, which
      requires a disk read.
      
      This patch encodes i_generation in the inode meta data lvb, and removes the
      value from the inode meta data lock name. This way, the read can be covered
      by a lock, and at the same time we can distinguish between an up to date and
      a stale LVB.
      
      This will help cold-cache stat(2) performance in particular.
      
      Since this patch changes the protocol version, we take the opportunity to do
      a minor re-organization of two of the LVB fields.

      ocfs2: Add dentry tracking API · 80c05846
      Mark Fasheh 提交于
      Replace the dentry vote mechanism with a cluster lock which covers a set
      of dentries. This allows us to force d_delete() only on nodes which actually
      care about an unlink.
      
      Every node that does a ->lookup() gets a read only lock on the dentry, until
      an unlink during which the unlinking node, will request an exclusive lock,
      forcing the other nodes who care about that dentry to d_delete() it. The
      effect is that we retain a very lightweight ->d_revalidate(), and at the
      same time get to make large improvements to the average case performance of
      the ocfs2 unlink and rename operations.
      
      This patch adds the higher level API and the dentry manipulation code.
