      GFS2: Banish struct gfs2_dinode_host · 383f01fb
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      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.

      [GFS2] Clean up the glock core · 6802e340
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      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.

      [GFS2] Reorder writeback for glock sync · 3042a2cc
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Previously we were doing (write data, wait for data, write metadata, wait
      for metadata). After this patch we so (write metadata, write data, wait for
      data, wait for metadata) which should be more efficient.
      
      Also I noticed that the drop_bh and xmote_bh functions were almost
      identical. In fact the only difference was a single test, and that
      test is such that in the drop_bh case, it would always evaluate to
      the correct result. As such we can use the xmote_bh functions in
      all the places where we were using the drop_bh function and remove
      the drop_bh functions.

      [GFS2] Remove useless i_cache from inodes · f91a0d3e
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      The i_cache was designed to keep references to the indirect blocks
      used during block mapping so that they didn't have to be looked
      up continually. The idea failed because there are too many places
      where the i_cache needs to be freed, and this has in the past been
      the cause of many bugs.
      
      In addition there was no performance benefit being gained since the
      disk blocks in question were cached anyway. So this patch removes
      it in order to simplify the code to prepare for other changes which
      would otherwise have had to add further support for this feature.

      [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] Clean up gfs2_trans_add_revoke() · 1ad38c43
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      The following alters gfs2_trans_add_revoke() to take a struct
      gfs2_bufdata as an argument. This eliminates the memory allocation which
      was previously required by making use of the already existing struct
      gfs2_bufdata. It makes some sanity checks to ensure that the
      gfs2_bufdata has been removed from all the lists before its recycled as
      a revoke structure. This saves one memory allocation and one free per
      revoke structure.
      
      Also as a result, and to simplify the locking, since there is no longer
      any blocking code in gfs2_trans_add_revoke() we must hold the log lock
      whenever this function is called. This reduces the amount of times we
      take and unlock the log lock.

      [GFS2] delay glock demote for a minimum hold time · c4f68a13
      Benjamin Marzinski 提交于
      When a lot of IO, with some distributed mmap IO, is run on a GFS2 filesystem in
      a cluster, it will deadlock. The reason is that do_no_page() will repeatedly
      call gfs2_sharewrite_nopage(), because each node keeps giving up the glock
      too early, and is forced to call unmap_mapping_range(). This bumps the
      mapping->truncate_count sequence count, forcing do_no_page() to retry. This
      patch institutes a minimum glock hold time a tenth a second.  This insures
      that even in heavy contention cases, the node has enough time to get some
      useful work done before it gives up the glock.
      
      A second issue is that when gfs2_glock_dq() is called from within a page fault
      to demote a lock, and the associated page needs to be written out, it will
      try to acqire a lock on it, but it has already been locked at a higher level.
      This patch puts makes gfs2_glock_dq() use the work queue as well, to avoid this
      issue. This is the same patch as Steve Whitehouse originally proposed to fix
      this issue, execpt that gfs2_glock_dq() now grabs a reference to the glock
      before it queues up the work on it.

      [GFS2] flush the glock completely in inode_go_sync · b524fe64
      Benjamin Marzinski 提交于
      Fix for bz #231910
      When filemap_fdatawrite() is called on the inode mapping in data=ordered mode,
      it will add the glock to the log. In inode_go_sync(), if you do the
      gfs2_log_flush() before this, after the filemap_fdatawrite() call, the glock
      and its associated data buffers will be on the log again. This means you can
      demote a lock from exclusive, without having it flushed from the log. The
      attached patch simply moves the gfs2_log_flush up to after the
      filemap_fdatawrite() call.
      
      Originally, I tried moving the gfs2_log_flush to after gfs2_meta_sync(), but
      that caused me to trip the following assert.
      
      GFS2: fsid=cypher-36:test.0: fatal: assertion "!buffer_busy(bh)" failed
      GFS2: fsid=cypher-36:test.0:   function = gfs2_ail_empty_gl, file = fs/gfs2/glops.c, line = 61
      
      It appears that gfs2_log_flush() puts some of the glocks buffers in the busy
      state and the filemap_fdatawrite() call is necessary to flush them. This makes
      me worry slightly that a related problem could happen because of moving the
      gfs2_log_flush() after the initial filemap_fdatawrite(), but I assume that
      gfs2_ail_empty_gl() would catch that case as well.

      [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h · cd354f1a
      Tim Schmielau 提交于
      After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
      recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
      There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
      anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
      macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
      course of cleaning it up.
      
      To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
      removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
      
      Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
      arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
      allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
      configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
      introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
      by unnecessarily included header files).

      [GFS2] Tidy up glops calls · b5d32bea
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch doesn't make any changes to the ordering of the various
      operations related to glocking, but it does tidy up the calls to the
      glops.c functions to make the structure more obvious.
      
      The two functions: gfs2_glock_xmote_th() and gfs2_glock_drop_th() can be
      made static within glock.c since they are called by every set of glock
      operations. The xmote_th and drop_th glock operations are then made
      conditional upon those two routines existing and called from the
      previously mentioned functions in glock.c respectively.
      
      Also it can be seen that the go_sync operation isn't needed since it can
      easily be replaced by calls to xmote_bh and drop_bh respectively. This
      results in no longer (confusingly) calling back into routines in glock.c
      from glops.c and also reducing the glock operations by one member.

      [GFS2] Remove local exclusive glock mode · 1c0f4872
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Here is a patch for GFS2 to remove the local exclusive flag. In
      the places it was used, mutex's are always held earlier in the
      call path, so it appears redundant in the LM_ST_SHARED case.
      
      Also, the GFS2 holders were setting local exclusive in any case where
      the requested lock was LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE. So the other places in the glock
      code where the flag was tested have been replaced with tests for the
      lock state being LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE in order to ensure the logic is the
      same as before (i.e. LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE is always locally exclusive as well
      as globally exclusive).

      [GFS2] Remove the "greedy" function from glock.[ch] · e5dab552

      The "greedy" code was an attempt to retain glocks for a minimum length

      of this feature is not, however, ideal in that it required allocating
      memory in order to do this and its overly complicated.
      
      It also misses the mark by ignoring the other I/O operations which are
      just as likely to suffer from the same problem. So the plan is to remove
      this now and then add the functionality back as part of the glock state
      machine at a later date (and thus take into account all the possible
      users of this feature)

      [GFS2] Fix journal flush problem · b004157a
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This fixes a bug which resulted in poor performance due to flushing
      the journal too often. The code path in question was via the inode_go_sync()
      function in glops.c. The solution is not to flush the journal immediately
      when inodes are ejected from memory, but batch up the work for glockd to
      deal with later on. This means that glocks may now live on beyond the end of
      the lifetime of their inodes (but not very much longer in the normal case).
      
      Also fixed in this patch is a bug (which was hidden by the bug mentioned above) in
      calculation of the number of free journal blocks.
      
      The gfs2_logd process has been altered to be more responsive to the journal
      filling up. We now wake it up when the number of uncommitted journal blocks
      has reached the threshold level rather than trying to flush directly at the
      end of each transaction. This again means doing fewer, but larger, log
      flushes in general.

      code to grab the block again at each point it was called.
      
      Also turned off readahead on directory lookups since we are reading a
      hash table, and therefore reading the entries in order is very
      unlikely. Readahead is still used for all other calls to the
      directory reading function (e.g. when growing the hash table).
      
      Removed the DIO_START constant. Everywhere this was used, it was
      used to unconditionally start i/o aside from a couple of places, so
      I've removed it and made the couple of exceptions to this rule into
      separate functions.
      
      Also hunted through the other DIO flags and removed them as arguments
      from functions which were always called with the same combination of
      arguments.

      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.
