      GFS2: Add tracepoints · 63997775
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch adds the ability to trace various aspects of the GFS2
      filesystem. The trace points are divided into three groups,
      glocks, logging and bmap. These points have been chosen because
      they allow inspection of the major internal functions of GFS2
      and they are also generic enough that they are unlikely to need
      any major changes as the filesystem evolves.

      GFS2: Merge lock_dlm module into GFS2 · f057f6cd
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This is the big patch that I've been working on for some time
      now. There are many reasons for wanting to make this change
      such as:
       o Reducing overhead by eliminating duplicated fields between structures
       o Simplifcation of the code (reduces the code size by a fair bit)
       o The locking interface is now the DLM interface itself as proposed
         some time ago.
       o Fewer lookups of glocks when processing replies from the DLM
       o Fewer memory allocations/deallocations for each glock
       o Scope to do further optimisations in the future (but this patch is
         more than big enough for now!)
      
      Please note that (a) this patch relates to the lock_dlm module and
      not the DLM itself, that is still a separate module; and (b) that
      we retain the ability to build GFS2 as a standalone single node
      filesystem with out requiring the DLM.
      
      This patch needs a lot of testing, hence my keeping it I restarted
      my -git tree after the last merge window. That way, this has the maximum
      exposure before its merged. This is (modulo a few minor bug fixes) the
      same patch that I've been posting on and off the the last three months
      and its passed a number of different tests so far.

      GFS2: Kill two daemons with one patch · 97cc1025
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch removes the two daemons, gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd
      and replaces them with a shrinker which is called from the VM.
      
      The net result is that GFS2 responds better when there is memory
      pressure, since it shrinks the glock cache at the same rate
      as the VFS shrinks the dcache and icache. There are no longer
      any time based criteria for shrinking glocks, they are kept
      until such time as the VM asks for more memory and then we
      demote just as many glocks as required.
      
      There are potential future changes to this code, including the
      possibility of sorting the glocks which are to be written back
      into inode number order, to get a better I/O ordering. It would
      be very useful to have an elevator based workqueue implementation
      for this, as that would automatically deal with the read I/O cases
      at the same time.
      
      This patch is my answer to Andrew Morton's remark, made during
      the initial review of GFS2, asking why GFS2 needs so many kernel
      threads, the answer being that it doesn't :-) This patch is a
      net loss of about 200 lines of code.

      [GFS2] No lock_nolock · 048bca22
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch merges the lock_nolock module into GFS2 itself. As well as removing
      some of the overhead of the module, it also means that its now impossible to
      build GFS2 without a lock module (which would be a pointless thing to do
      anyway).
      
      We also plan to merge lock_dlm into GFS2 in the future, but that is a more
      tricky task, and will therefore be a separate patch.

      [GFS2] Remove lm.[ch] and distribute content · da755fdb
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      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.

      [GFS2] Use ->page_mkwrite() for mmap() · 3cc3f710
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This cleans up the mmap() code path for GFS2 by implementing the
      page_mkwrite function for GFS2. We are thus able to use the
      generic filemap_fault function for our ->fault() implementation.
      
      This now means that shared writable mappings will be much more
      efficiently shared across the cluster if there is a reasonable
      proportion of read activity (the greater proportion, the better).
      
      As a side effect, it also reduces the size of the code, removes
      special cases from readpage and readpages, and makes the code
      path easier to follow.

      [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.

      [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] 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.

      [GFS2] Make journaled data files identical to normal files on disk · 18ec7d5c
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This is a very large patch, with a few still to be resolved issues
      so you might want to check out the previous head of the tree since
      this is known to be unstable. Fixes for the various bugs will be
      forthcoming shortly.
      
      This patch removes the special data format which has been used
      up till now for journaled data files. Directories still retain the
      old format so that they will remain on disk compatible with earlier
      releases. As a result you can now do the following with journaled
      data files:
      
       1) mmap them
       2) export them over NFS
       3) convert to/from normal files whenever you want to (the zero length
          restriction is gone)
      
      In addition the level at which GFS' locking is done has changed for all
      files (since they all now use the page cache) such that the locking is
      done at the page cache level rather than the level of the fs operations.
      This should mean that things like loopback mounts and other things which
      touch the page cache directly should now work.
      
      Current known issues:
      
       1. There is a lock mode inversion problem related to the resource
          group hold function which needs to be resolved.
       2. Any significant amount of I/O causes an oops with an offset of hex 320
          (NULL pointer dereference) which appears to be related to a journaled data
          buffer appearing on a list where it shouldn't be.
       3. Direct I/O writes are disabled for the time being (will reappear later)
       4. There is probably a deadlock between the page lock and GFS' locks under
          certain combinations of mmap and fs operation I/O.
       5. Issue relating to ref counting on internally used inodes causes a hang
          on umount (discovered before this patch, and not fixed by it)
       6. One part of the directory metadata is different from GFS1 and will need
          to be resolved before next release.
