The final field in gfs2_dinode_host was the i_flags field. Thats renamed to i_diskflags in order to avoid confusion with the existing inode flags, and moved into the inode proper at a suitable location to avoid creating a "hole". At that point struct gfs2_dinode_host is no longer needed and as promised (quite some time ago!) it can now be removed completely. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

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.

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. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

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. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhitho@redhat.com>

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. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Viro <aviro@redhat.com>

This patch removes the "recent list" which is used during allocation and replaces it with the (already existing) mru list used during deletion. The "recent list" was not a true mru list leading to a number of inefficiencies including a "next" function which made scanning the list an order N^2 operation wrt to the number of list elements. This should increase allocation performance with large numbers of rgrps. Its also a useful preparation and cleanup before some further changes which are planned in this area.

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.

This patch fixes a GFS2 filesystem consistency error reported from function do_strip. The problem was caused by a timing window that allowed two vfs inodes to be created in memory that point to the same file. The problem is fixed by making the vfs's iget_test, iget_set mechanism check and set a new bit in the in-core gfs2_inode structure while the vfs inode spin_lock is held.

GFS2 wasn't invalidating its cache before it called into the lock manager with a request that could potentially drop a lock. This was leaving a window where the lock could be actually be held by another node, but the file's page cache would still appear valid, causing coherency problems. This patch moves the cache invalidation to before the lock manager call when dropping a lock. It also adds the option to the lock_dlm lock manager to not use conversion mode deadlock avoidance, which, on a conversion from shared to exclusive, could internally drop the lock, and then reacquire in. GFS2 now asks lock_dlm to not do this. Instead, GFS2 manually drops the lock and reacquires it.

The blocks counter is almost a duplicate of the i_blocks field in the VFS inode. The only difference is that i_blocks can be only 32bits long for 32bit arch without large single file support. Since GFS2 doesn't handle the non-large single file case (for 32 bit anyway) this adds a new config dependency on 64BIT || LSF. This has always been the case, however we've never explicitly said so before. Even if we do add support for the non-LSF case, we will still not require this field to be duplicated since we will not be able to access oversized files anyway. So the net result of all this is that we shave 8 bytes from a gfs2_inode and get our config deps correct. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This patch forms a pair with the previous patch which shrunk di_height. Like that patch di_depth is renamed i_depth and moved into struct gfs2_inode directly. Also the field goes from 16 bits to 8 bits since it is also limited to a max value which is rather small (17 in this case). In addition we also now validate the field against this maximum value when its read in. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

The functions in lm.c were just wrappers which were mostly only used in one other file. By moving the functions to the files where they are being used, they can be marked static and also this will usually result in them being inlined since they are often only used from one point in the code. A couple of really trivial functions have been inlined by hand into the function which called them as it makes the code clearer to do that. We also gain from one fewer function call in the glock lock and unlock paths. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

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.

This patch improves the calculation of the tree height in order to reduce the number of operations which are carried out on each call to gfs2_block_map. In the common case, we now make a single comparison, rather than calculating the required tree height from scratch each time. Also in the case that the tree does need some extra height, we start from the current height rather from zero when we work out what the new height ought to be. In addition the di_height field is moved into the inode proper and reduced in size to a u8 since the value must be between 0 and GFS2_MAX_META_HEIGHT (10).

This patch removes a vestigial variable "i_spin" from the gfs2_inode structure.

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.

The only reason for adding glocks to the journal was to keep track of which locks required a log flush prior to release. We add a flag to the glock to allow this check to be made in a simpler way.

The HIF_MUTEX and HIF_PROMOTE flags were set on the glock holders depending upon which of the two waiters lists they were going to be queued upon. They were then tested when the holders were taken off the lists to ensure that the right type of holder was being dequeued. Since we are already using separate lists, there doesn't seem a lot of point having these flags as well, and since setting them and testing them is in the fast path for locking and unlocking glock, this patch removes them.
