This patch allows flock glocks to use a non-blocking dequeue rather than dq_wait. It also reverts the previous patch I had posted regarding dq_wait. The reverted patch isn't necessarily a bad idea, but I decided this might avoid unforeseen side effects, and was therefore safer.

GFS2 has a transaction glock, which must be grabbed for every transaction, whose purpose is to deal with freezing the filesystem. Aside from this involving a large amount of locking, it is very easy to make the current fsfreeze code hang on unfreezing. This patch rewrites how gfs2 handles freezing the filesystem. The transaction glock is removed. In it's place is a freeze glock, which is cached (but not held) in a shared state by every node in the cluster when the filesystem is mounted. This lock only needs to be grabbed on freezing, and actions which need to be safe from freezing, like recovery. When a node wants to freeze the filesystem, it grabs this glock exclusively. When the freeze glock state changes on the nodes (either from shared to unlocked, or shared to exclusive), the filesystem does a special log flush. gfs2_log_flush() does all the work for flushing out the and shutting down the incore log, and then it tries to grab the freeze glock in a shared state again. Since the filesystem is stuck in gfs2_log_flush, no new transaction can start, and nothing can be written to disk. Unfreezing the filesytem simply involes dropping the freeze glock, allowing gfs2_log_flush() to grab and then release the shared lock, so it is cached for next time. However, in order for the unfreezing ioctl to occur, gfs2 needs to get a shared lock on the filesystem root directory inode to check permissions. If that glock has already been grabbed exclusively, fsfreeze will be unable to get the shared lock and unfreeze the filesystem. In order to allow the unfreeze, this patch makes gfs2 grab a shared lock on the filesystem root directory during the freeze, and hold it until it unfreezes the filesystem. The functions which need to grab a shared lock in order to allow the unfreeze ioctl to be issued now use the lock grabbed by the freeze code instead. The freeze and unfreeze code take care to make sure that this shared lock will not be dropped while another process is using it.

The reservation for an inode should be cleared when it is truncated so that we can start again at a different offset for future allocations. We could try and do better than that, by resetting the search based on where the truncation started from, but this is only a first step. In addition, there are three callers of gfs2_rs_delete() but only one of those should really be testing the value of i_writecount. While we get away with that in the other cases currently, I think it would be better if we made that test specific to the one case which requires it.

GFS2 was only setting I_DIRTY_DATASYNC on files that it wrote to, when it actually increased the file size. If gfs2_fsync was called without I_DIRTY_DATASYNC set, it didn't flush the incore data to the log before returning, so any metadata or journaled data changes were not getting fsynced. This meant that writes to the middle of files were not always getting fsynced properly. This patch makes gfs2 set I_DIRTY_DATASYNC whenever metadata has been updated during a write. It also make gfs2_sync flush the incore log if I_DIRTY_PAGES is set, and the file is using data journalling. This will make sure that all incore logged data gets written to disk before returning from a fsync.

Having a global lock that protects all of this code is a clear scalability problem. Instead of doing that, move most of the code to be protected by the i_lock instead. The exceptions are the global lists that the ->fl_link sits on, and the ->fl_block list. ->fl_link is what connects these structures to the global lists, so we must ensure that we hold those locks when iterating over or updating these lists. Furthermore, sound deadlock detection requires that we hold the blocked_list state steady while checking for loops. We also must ensure that the search and update to the list are atomic. For the checking and insertion side of the blocked_list, push the acquisition of the global lock into __posix_lock_file and ensure that checking and update of the blocked_list is done without dropping the lock in between. On the removal side, when waking up blocked lock waiters, take the global lock before walking the blocked list and dequeue the waiters from the global list prior to removal from the fl_block list. With this, deadlock detection should be race free while we minimize excessive file_lock_lock thrashing. Finally, in order to avoid a lock inversion problem when handling /proc/locks output we must ensure that manipulations of the fl_block list are also protected by the file_lock_lock.

I've restricted atomic_open to only operate on regular files, although I still don't understand why atomic_open should not be possible also for directories on GFS2. That can always be added in later though, if it makes sense. The ->atomic_open function can be passed negative dentries, which in most cases means either ENOENT (->lookup) or a call to d_instantiate (->create). In the GFS2 case though, we need to actually perform the look up, since we do not know whether there has been a new inode created on another node. The look up calls d_splice_alias which then tries to rehash the dentry - so the solution here is to simply check for that in d_splice_alias. The same issue is likely to affect any other cluster filesystem implementing ->atomic_open Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: "J.

Create a helper function to check if a backing device requires stable page writes and, if so, performs the necessary wait. Then, make it so that all points in the memory manager that handle making pages writable use the helper function. This should provide stable page write support to most filesystems, while eliminating unnecessary waiting for devices that don't require the feature. Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own thing, so they'd wait too. After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they provide their own stable page guarantees or they don't block at all. The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk requiring stable page writes. Here's the result of using dbench to test latency on ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat ---------------------------------------- WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817 ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391 Flush 15514 29.828 287.283 Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273 ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112 Flush 14982 30.540 298.634 Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms As you can see, the maximum write latency drops considerably with this patch enabled.

Just like ext3, this works on the root directory and any directory with the +T flag set. Also, just like ext3, any subdirectory created in one of the just mentioned cases will be allocated to a random resource group (GFS2 equivalent of a block group). If you are creating a set of directories, each of which will contain a job running on a different node, then by setting +T on the parent directory before creating the subdirectories, each will land up in a different resource group, and thus resource group contention between nodes will be kept to a minimum.

file_accessed() was being called by gfs2_mmap() with a shared glock. If it needed to update the atime, it was crashing because it dirtied the inode in gfs2_dirty_inode() without holding an exclusive lock. gfs2_dirty_inode() checked if the caller was already holding a glock, but it didn't make sure that the glock was in the exclusive state. Now, instead of calling file_accessed() while holding the shared lock in gfs2_mmap(), file_accessed() is called after grabbing and releasing the glock to update the inode. If file_accessed() needs to update the atime, it will grab an exclusive lock in gfs2_dirty_inode(). gfs2_dirty_inode() now also checks to make sure that if the calling process has already locked the glock, it has an exclusive lock.

The rs_requested field is left over from the original allocation code, however this should have been a parameter passed to the various functions from gfs2_inplace_reserve() and not a member of the reservation structure as the value is not required after the initial allocation. This also helps simplify the code since we no longer need to set the rs_requested to zero. Also the gfs2_inplace_release() function can also be simplified since the reservation structure will always be defined when it is called, and the only remaining task is to unlock the rgrp if required. It can also now be called unconditionally too, resulting in a further simplification. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This patch reduces GFS2 file fragmentation by pre-reserving blocks. The resulting improved on disk layout greatly speeds up operations in cases which would have resulted in interlaced allocation of blocks previously. A typical example of this is 10 parallel dd processes, each writing to a file in a common dirctory. The implementation uses an rbtree of reservations attached to each resource group (and each inode).

This patch lengthens the lifespan of the reservations structure for inodes. Before, they were allocated and deallocated for every write operation. With this patch, they are allocated when the first write occurs, and deallocated when the last process closes the file. It's more efficient to do it this way because it saves GFS2 a lot of unnecessary allocates and frees. It also gives us more flexibility for the future: (1) we can now fold the qadata structure back into the structure and save those alloc/frees, (2) we can use this for multi-block reservations.

gfs2_fallocate was calling gfs2_write_alloc_required() once at the start of the function. This caused problems since gfs2_write_alloc_required used a long unsigned int for the len, but gfs2_fallocate could allocate a much larger amount. This patch will move the call into the loop where the chunks are actually allocated and zeroed out. This will keep the allocation size under the limit, and also allow gfs2_fallocate to quickly skip over sections of the file that are already completely allocated. fallcate_chunk was also not correctly setting the file size. It was using the len veriable to find the last block written to, but by the time it was setting the size, the len variable had already been decremented to 0.

The FITRIM ioctl provides an alternative way to send discard requests to the underlying device. Using the discard mount option results in every freed block generating a discard request to the block device. This can be slow, since many block devices can only process discard requests of larger sizes, and also such operations can be time consuming. Rather than using the discard mount option, FITRIM allows a sweep of the filesystem on an occasional basis, and also to optionally avoid sending down discard requests for smaller regions. In GFS2 FITRIM will work at resource group granularity. There is a flag for each resource group which keeps track of which resource groups have been trimmed. This flag is reset whenever a deallocation occurs in the resource group, and set whenever a successful FITRIM of that resource group has taken place. This helps to reduce repeated discard requests for the same block ranges, again improving performance. Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This makes mount take slightly longer, but at the same time, the first write to the filesystem will be faster too. It also means that if there is a problem in the resource index, then we can refuse to mount rather than having to try and report that when the first write occurs. In addition, to avoid recursive locking, we hvae to take account of instances when the rindex glock may already be held when we are trying to update the rbtree of resource groups.

This patch fixes a problem whereby gfs2_grow was failing and causing GFS2 to assert. The problem was that when GFS2's fallocate operation tried to acquire an "allocation" it made sure the rindex was up to date, and if not, it called gfs2_rindex_update. However, if the file being fallocated was the rindex itself, it was already locked at that point. By calling gfs2_rindex_update at an earlier point in time, we bring rindex up to date and thereby avoid trying to lock it when the "allocation" is acquired.
