      GFS2: Clean up of extended attribute support · 40b78a32
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This has been on my list for some time. We need to change the way
      in which we handle extended attributes to allow faster file creation
      times (by reducing the number of transactions required) and the
      extended attribute code is the main obstacle to this.
      
      In addition to that, the VFS provides a way to demultiplex the xattr
      calls which we ought to be using, rather than rolling our own. This
      patch changes the GFS2 code to use that VFS feature and as a result
      the code shrinks by a couple of hundred lines or so, and becomes
      easier to read.
      
      I'm planning on doing further clean up work in this area, but this
      patch is a good start. The cleaned up code also uses the more usual
      "xattr" shorthand, I plan to eliminate the use of "eattr" eventually
      and in the mean time it serves as a flag as to which bits of the code
      have been updated.

      GFS2: Something nonlinear this way comes! · 48bf2b17
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      For some reason GFS2 has been missing support for non-linear
      mappings. This patch fixes that, and also avoids taking any
      locks for mmap in the O_NOATIME case. In fact we don't actually need
      to take the lock here at all - just doing file_accessed() would be
      enough, but we have to take the lock eventually and this helps
      it hit disk (and thus be seen by other nodes) faster.

      mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault · c2ec175c
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
      VM_FAULT_xxx flags.  There should be no functional change.
      
      This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to
      the VM (and also can provide more information eg.  virtual_address to the
      driver, which might be important in some special cases).
      
      This is required for a subsequent fix.  And will also make it easier to
      merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

      to make it more obvious what is going on, the mysterious raising

      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: 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] 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.

      - Replace remote_llseek with generic_file_llseek_unlocked (to force compilation

      - Change all users to either use generic_file_llseek_unlocked directly or
      take the BKL around. I changed the file systems who don't use the BKL
      for anything (CIFS, GFS) to call it directly. NCPFS and SMBFS and NFS
      take the BKL, but explicitely in their own source now.
      
      I moved them all over in a single patch to avoid unbisectable sections.
      
      Open problem: 32bit kernels can corrupt fpos because its modification
      is not atomic, but they can do that anyways because there's other paths who
      modify it without BKL.
      
      Do we need a special lock for the pos/f_version = 0 checks?

      until his full audit.

      [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] 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.

      Change ->fault prototype.  We now return an int, which contains
      VM_FAULT_xxx code in the low byte, and FAULT_RET_xxx code in the next byte.
       FAULT_RET_ code tells the VM whether a page was found, whether it has been
      locked, and potentially other things.  This is not quite the way he wanted
      it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to
      arch code).
      
      This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say
      that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we
      can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were
      going to do that anyway.
      
      struct fault_data is renamed to struct vm_fault as Linus asked. address
      is now a void __user * that we should firmly encourage drivers not to use
      without really good reason.

      mm: merge populate and nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear) · 54cb8821
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes
      the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings.
      
      ->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code
      should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping.  The hitch here
      is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie.  pgoff).
       But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function
      calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation).
      
      Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing
      to be doing.
      
      This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and
      ->populate and (later) ->nopfn.  Most of the old mechanism is still in place
      so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if
      everyone switches over.
      
      The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are
      subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid
      to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two.
      
      After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in
      pagecache.  Seems like a fringe functionality anyway.
      
      NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed.  This should be implemented with ->fault, and no
      users have hit mainline yet.
