      GFS2: deallocation performance patch · 4c16c36a
      Bob Peterson 提交于
      This patch is a performance improvement to GFS2's dealloc code.
      Rather than update the quota file and statfs file for every
      single block that's stripped off in unlink function do_strip,
      this patch keeps track and updates them once for every layer
      that's stripped.  This is done entirely inside the existing
      transaction, so there should be no risk of corruption.
      The other functions that deallocate blocks will be unaffected
      because they are using wrapper functions that do the same
      thing that they do today.
      
      I tested this code on my roth cluster by creating 200
      files in a directory, each of which is 100MB, then on
      four nodes, I simultaneously deleted the files, thus competing
      for GFS2 resources (but different files).  The commands
      I used were:
      
      [root@roth-01]# time for i in `seq 1 4 200` ; do rm /mnt/gfs2/bigdir/gfs2.$i; done
      [root@roth-02]# time for i in `seq 2 4 200` ; do rm /mnt/gfs2/bigdir/gfs2.$i; done
      [root@roth-03]# time for i in `seq 3 4 200` ; do rm /mnt/gfs2/bigdir/gfs2.$i; done
      [root@roth-05]# time for i in `seq 4 4 200` ; do rm /mnt/gfs2/bigdir/gfs2.$i; done
      
      The performance increase was significant:
      
                   roth-01     roth-02     roth-03     roth-05
                   ---------   ---------   ---------   ---------
      old: real    0m34.027    0m25.021s   0m23.906s   0m35.646s
      new: real    0m22.379s   0m24.362s   0m24.133s   0m18.562s
      
      Total time spent deleting:
      old: 118.6s
      new:  89.4
      
      For this particular case, this showed a 25% performance increase for
      GFS2 unlinks.

      GFS2 fatal: filesystem consistency error on rename · 46290341
      Bob Peterson 提交于
      This patch fixes a GFS2 problem whereby the first rename after a
      mount can result in a file system consistency error being flagged
      improperly and cause the file system to withdraw.  The problem is
      that the rename code tries to run the rgrp list with function
      gfs2_blk2rgrpd before the rgrp list is guaranteed to be read in
      from disk.  The patch makes the rename function hold the rindex
      glock (as the gfs2_unlink code does today) which reads in the rgrp
      list if need be.  There were a total of three places in the rename
      code that improperly referenced the rgrp list without the rindex
      glock and this patch fixes all three.

      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.

      GFS2: Be extra careful about deallocating inodes · acf7e244
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      There is a potential race in the inode deallocation code if two
      nodes try to deallocate the same inode at the same time. Most of
      the issue is solved by the iopen locking. There is still a small
      window which is not covered by the iopen lock. This patches fixes
      that and also makes the deallocation code more robust in the face of
      any errors in the rgrp bitmaps, or erroneous iopen callbacks from
      other nodes.
      
      This does introduce one extra disk read, but that is generally not
      an issue since its the same block that must be written to later
      in the deallocation process. The total disk accesses therefore stay
      the same,

      GFS2: Improve resource group error handling · 09010978
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch improves the error handling in the case where we
      discover that the summary information in the resource group
      doesn't match the bitmap information while in the process of
      allocating blocks. Originally this resulted in a kernel bug,
      but this patch changes that so that we return -EIO and print
      some messages explaining what went wrong, and how to fix it.
      
      We also remember locally not to try and allocate from the
      same rgrp again, so that a subsequent allocation in a
      different rgrp should succeed.

      [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] 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] Add generation number · 4340fe62
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This adds a generation number for the eventual use of NFS to the
      ondisk inode. Its backward compatible with the current code since
      it doesn't really matter what the generation number is to start with,
      and indeed since its set to zero, due to it being taken from padding
      in both the inode and rgrp header, it should be fine.
      
      The eventual plan is to use this rather than no_formal_ino in the
      NFS filehandles. At that point no_formal_ino will be unused.
      
      At the same time we also add a releasepages call back to the
      "normal" address space for gfs2 inodes. Also I've removed a
      one-linrer function thats not required any more.

      [GFS2] Fix unlinked file handling · feaa7bba
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch fixes the way we have been dealing with unlinked,
      but still open files. It removes all limits (other than memory
      for inodes, as per every other filesystem) on numbers of these
      which we can support on GFS2. It also means that (like other
      fs) its the responsibility of the last process to close the file
      to deallocate the storage, rather than the person who did the
      unlinking. Note that with GFS2, those two events might take place
      on different nodes.
      
      Also there are a number of other changes:
      
       o We use the Linux inode subsystem as it was intended to be
      used, wrt allocating GFS2 inodes
       o The Linux inode cache is now the point which we use for
      local enforcement of only holding one copy of the inode in
      core at once (previous to this we used the glock layer).
       o We no longer use the unlinked "special" file. We just ignore it
      completely. This makes unlinking more efficient.
       o We now use the 4th block allocation state. The previously unused
      state is used to track unlinked but still open inodes.
       o gfs2_inoded is no longer needed
       o Several fields are now no longer needed (and removed) from the in
      core struct gfs2_inode
       o Several fields are no longer needed (and removed) from the in core
      superblock
      
      There are a number of future possible optimisations and clean ups
      which have been made possible by this patch.
