      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: Fix & clean up GFS2 rename · 0188d6c5
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch fixes a locking issue in the rename code by ensuring that we hold
      the per sb rename lock over both directory and "other" renames which involve
      different parent directories.
      
      At the same time, this moved the (only called from one place) function
      gfs2_ok_to_move into the file that its called from, so we can mark it
      static. This should make a code a bit easier to follow.

      [GFS2] don't call permission() · f58ba889
      Miklos Szeredi 提交于
      GFS2 calls permission() to verify permissions after locks on the files
      have been taken.
      
      For this it's sufficient to call gfs2_permission() instead.  This
      results in the following changes:
      
        - IS_RDONLY() check is not performed
        - IS_IMMUTABLE() check is not performed
        - devcgroup_inode_permission() is not called
        - security_inode_permission() is not called
      
      IS_RDONLY() should be unnecessary anyway, as the per-mount read-only
      flag should provide protection against read-only remounts during
      operations.  do_gfs2_set_flags() has been fixed to perform
      mnt_want_write()/mnt_drop_write() to protect against remounting
      read-only.
      
      IS_IMMUTABLE has been added to gfs2_permission()
      
      Repeating the security checks seems to be pointless, as they don't
      normally change, and if they do, it's independent of the filesystem
      state.

      [GFS2] Fix a page lock / glock deadlock · 7afd88d9
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      We've previously been using a "try lock" in readpage on the basis that
      it would prevent deadlocks due to the inverted lock ordering (our normal
      lock ordering is glock first and then page lock). Unfortunately tests
      have shown that this isn't enough. If the glock has a demote request
      queued such that run_queue() in the glock code tries to do a demote when
      its called under readpage then it will try and write out all the dirty
      pages which requires locking them. This then deadlocks with the page
      locked by readpage.
      
      The solution is to always require two calls into readpage. The first
      unlocks the page, gets the glock and returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, the
      second does the actual readpage and unlocks the glock & page as
      required.

      [GFS2] Eliminate (almost) duplicate field from gfs2_inode · 77658aad
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      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.

      This patch improves the calculation of the tree height in order to reduce

      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).

      [GFS2] Reduce inode size by moving i_alloc out of line · 6dbd8224
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      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.

      [GFS2] Alternate gfs2_iget to avoid looking up inodes being freed · 7a9f53b3
      Benjamin Marzinski 提交于
      There is a possible deadlock between two processes on the same node, where one
      process is deleting an inode, and another process is looking for allocated but
      unused inodes to delete in order to create more space.
      
      process A does an iput() on inode X, and it's i_count drops to 0. This causes
      iput_final() to be called, which puts an inode into state I_FREEING at
      generic_delete_inode(). There no point between when iput_final() is called, and
      when I_FREEING is set where GFS2 could acquire any glocks. Once I_FREEING is
      set, no other process on that node can successfully look up that inode until
      the delete finishes.
      
      process B locks the the resource group for the same inode in get_local_rgrp(),
      which is called by gfs2_inplace_reserve_i()
      
      process A tries to lock the resource group for the inode in
      gfs2_dinode_dealloc(), but it's already locked by process B
      
      process B waits in find_inode for the inode to have the I_FREEING state cleared.
      
      Deadlock.
      
      This patch solves the problem by adding an alternative to gfs2_iget(),
      gfs2_iget_skip(), that simply skips any inodes that are in the I_FREEING
      state.o The alternate test function is just like the original one, except that
      it fails if the inode is being freed, and sets a skipped flag. The alternate
      set function is just like the original, except that it fails if the skipped
      flag is set. Only try_rgrp_unlink() calls gfs2_iget_skip() instead of
      gfs2_iget().

      [GFS2] Fix deallocation issues · d93cfa98
      Abhijith Das 提交于
      There were two issues during deallocation of unlinked inodes. The
      first was relating to the use of a "try" lock which in the case of
      the inode lock wasn't trying hard enough to deallocate in all
      circumstances (now changed to a normal glock) and in the case of
      the iopen lock didn't wait for the demotion of the shared lock before
      attempting to get the exclusive lock, and thereby sometimes (timing dependent)
      not completing the deallocation when it should have done.
      
      The second issue related to the lack of a way to invalidate dcache entries
      on remote nodes (now fixed by this patch) which meant that unlinks were
      taking a long time to return disk space to the fs. By adding some code to
      invalidate the dcache entries across the cluster for unlinked inodes, that
      is now fixed.

      Under certain circumstances its possible (though rather unlikely) that

      which held the inode open crashed before it was unlinked.
      
      This patch adds the recovery code which allows automatic deallocation of
      the inode if its found during block allocation (the sensible time to
      look for such inodes since we are scanning the rgrp's bitmaps anyway at
      this time, so it adds no overhead to do this).
      
      Since the inode will have had its i_nlink set to zero, all we need to

      [GFS2] Fix sign problem in quota/statfs and cleanup _host structures · bb8d8a6f
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch fixes some sign issues which were accidentally introduced
      into the quota & statfs code during the endianess annotation process.
      Also included is a general clean up which moves all of the _host
      structures out of gfs2_ondisk.h (where they should not have been to
      start with) and into the places where they are actually used (often only
      one place). Also those _host structures which are not required any more
      are removed entirely (which is the eventual plan for all of them).
      
      The conversion routines from ondisk.c are also moved into the places
      where they are actually used, which for almost every one, was just one
      single place, so all those are now static functions. This also cleans up
      the end of gfs2_ondisk.h which no longer needs the #ifdef __KERNEL__.
      
      The net result is a reduction of about 100 lines of code, many functions
      now marked static plus the bug fixes as mentioned above. For good
      measure I ran the code through sparse after making these changes to
      check that there are no warnings generated.
      
      This fixes Red Hat bz #239686

      [GFS2] Clean up inode number handling · dbb7cae2
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch cleans up the inode number handling code. The main difference
      is that instead of looking up the inodes using a struct gfs2_inum_host
      we now use just the no_addr member of this structure. The tests relating
      to no_formal_ino can then be done by the calling code. This has
      advantages in that we want to do different things in different code
      paths if the no_formal_ino doesn't match. In the NFS patch we want to
      return -ESTALE, but in the ->lookup() path, its a bug in the fs if the
      no_formal_ino doesn't match and thus we can withdraw in this case.
      
      In order to later fix bz #201012, we need to be able to look up an inode
      without knowing no_formal_ino, as the only information that is known to
      us is the on-disk location of the inode in question.
      
      This patch will also help us to fix bz #236099 at a later date by
      cleaning up a lot of the code in that area.
      
      There are no user visible changes as a result of this patch and there
      are no changes to the on-disk format either.

      [GFS2] Fix unlink deadlocks · ddee7608
      Russell Cattelan 提交于
      Move the glock acquisition to outside of the transactions.
      
      Lock odering must be preserved in order to prevent ABBA
      deadlocks. The current gfs2_change_nlink code would tries
      to grab the glock after having started a transaction and thus is holding
      the log lock. This is inconsistent with other code paths in
      gfs that grab the resource group glock prior to staring
      a tranactions.
      
      One problem with this fix is that the resource group
      lock is always grabbed now even if the inode still has
      ref count and can not be marked for unlink.
