      GFS2: Support for I/O barriers · 254db57f
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch adds barrier support to GFS2. There is not a lot of change
      really... we just add the barrier flag when we write journal header
      blocks. If the underlying device refuses to support them, we fall back
      to the previous way of doing things (wait for the I/O and hope) since
      there is nothing else we can do. There is no user configuration,
      barriers will always be on unless the device refuses to support them.
      This seems a reasonable solution to me since this is a correctness
      issue.

      GFS2: high time to take some time over atime · 719ee344
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Until now, we've used the same scheme as GFS1 for atime. This has failed
      since atime is a per vfsmnt flag, not a per fs flag and as such the
      "noatime" flag was not getting passed down to the filesystems. This
      patch removes all the "special casing" around atime updates and we
      simply use the VFS's atime code.
      
      The net result is that GFS2 will now support all the same atime related
      mount options of any other filesystem on a per-vfsmnt basis. We do lose
      the "lazy atime" updates, but we gain "relatime". We could add lazy
      atime to the VFS at a later date, if there is a requirement for that
      variant still - I suspect relatime will be enough.
      
      Also we lose about 100 lines of code after this patch has been applied,
      and I have a suspicion that it will speed things up a bit, even when
      atime is "on". So it seems like a nice clean up as well.
      
      From a user perspective, everything stays the same except the loss of
      the per-fs atime quantum tweekable (ought to be per-vfsmnt at the very
      least, and to be honest I don't think anybody ever used it) and that a
      number of options which were ignored before now work correctly.
      
      Please let me know if you've got any comments. I'm pushing this out
      early so that you can all see what my plans are.

      GFS2: The war on bloat · 37ec89e8
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      The following patch shrinks the gfs2_args structure which is embedded in
      every GFS2 superblock. It cuts down the size of the options to a single
      unsigned int (the 13 bits of bitfields will be rounded up to that size
      by the compiler) from the current 11 unsigned ints. So on x86 thats 44
      bytes shrinking to 4 bytes, in each and every GFS2 superblock.

      GFS2: Fix metafs mounts · 9b8df98f
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch is intended to fix the issues reported in bz #457798. Instead
      of having the metafs as a separate filesystem, it becomes a second root
      of gfs2. As a result it will appear as type gfs2 in /proc/mounts, but it
      is still possible (for backwards compatibility purposes) to mount it as
      type gfs2meta. A new mount flag "meta" is introduced so that its possible
      to tell the two cases apart in /proc/mounts.
      
      As a result it becomes possible to mount type gfs2 with -o meta and
      get the same result as mounting type gfs2meta. So it is possible to
      mount just the metafs on its own. Currently if you do this, its then
      impossible to mount the "normal" root of the gfs2 filesystem without
      first unmounting the metafs root. I'm not sure if thats a feature or
      a bug :-)
      
      Either way, this is a great improvement on the previous scheme and I've
      verified that it works ok with bind mounts on both the "normal" root
      and the metafs root in various combinations.
      
      There were also a bunch of functions in super.c which didn't belong there,
      so this moves them into ops_fstype.c where they can be static. Hopefully
      the mount/umount sequence is now more obvious as a result.

      [GFS2] Clean up the glock core · 6802e340
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      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.
