      GFS2: Clean up log write code path · e8c92ed7
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Prior to this patch, we have two ways of sending i/o to the log.
      One of those is used when we need to allocate both the data
      to be written itself and also a buffer head to submit it. This
      is done via sb_getblk and friends. This is used mostly for writing
      log headers.
      
      The other method is used when writing blocks which have some
      in-place counterpart. This is the case for all the metadata
      blocks which are journalled, and when journaled data is in use,
      for unescaped journalled data blocks.
      
      This patch replaces both of those two methods, and about half
      a dozen separate i/o submission points with a single i/o
      submission function. We also go direct to bio rather than
      using buffer heads, since this allows us to build i/o
      requests of the maximum size for the block device in
      question. It also reduces the memory required for flushing
      the log, which can be very useful in low memory situations.

      GFS2: Remove a __GFP_NOFAIL allocation · 75ca61c1
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      In order to ensure that we've got enough buffer heads for flushing
      the journal, the orignal code used __GFP_NOFAIL when performing
      this allocation. Here we dispense with that in favour of using a
      mempool. This should improve efficiency in low memory conditions
      since flushing the journal is a good way to get memory back, we
      don't want to be spinning, waiting on memory allocations. The
      buffers which are allocated via this mempool are fairly short lived,
      so that we'll recycle them pretty quickly.
      
      Although there are other memory allocations which occur during the
      journal flush process, this is the one which can potentially require
      the most memory, so the most important one to fix.
      
      The amount of memory reserved is a fixed amount, and we should not need
      to scale it when there are a greater number of filesystems in use.

      GFS2: Metadata address space clean up · 009d8518
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Since the start of GFS2, an "extra" inode has been used to store
      the metadata belonging to each inode. The only reason for using
      this inode was to have an extra address space, the other fields
      were unused. This means that the memory usage was rather inefficient.
      
      The reason for keeping each inode's metadata in a separate address
      space is that when glocks are requested on remote nodes, we need to
      be able to efficiently locate the data and metadata which relating
      to that glock (inode) in order to sync or sync and invalidate it
      (depending on the remotely requested lock mode).
      
      This patch adds a new type of glock, which has in addition to
      its normal fields, has an address space. This applies to all
      inode and rgrp glocks (but to no other glock types which remain
      as before). As a result, we no longer need to have the second
      inode.
      
      This results in three major improvements:
       1. A saving of approx 25% of memory used in caching inodes
       2. A removal of the circular dependency between inodes and glocks
       3. No confusion between "normal" and "metadata" inodes in super.c
      
      Although the first of these is the more immediately apparent, the
      second is just as important as it now enables a number of clean
      ups at umount time. Those will be the subject of future patches.

      GFS2: Clean up & move gfs2_quotad · 37b2c837
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch is a clean up of gfs2_quotad prior to giving it an
      extra job to do in addition to the current portfolio of updating
      the quota and statfs information from time to time.
      
      As a result it has been moved into quota.c allowing one of the
      functions it calls to be made static. Also the clean up allows
      the two existing functions to have separate timeouts and also
      to coexist with its future role of dealing with the "truncate in
      progress" inode flag.
      
      The (pointless) setting of gfs2_quotad_secs is removed since we
      arrange to only wake up quotad when one of the two timers expires.
      
      In addition the struct gfs2_quota_data is moved into a slab cache,
      mainly for easier debugging. It should also be possible to use
      a shrinker in the future, rather than the current scheme of scanning
      the quota data entries from time to time.

      [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] Further updates to dir and logging code · 71b86f56
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This reduces the size of the directory code by about 3k and gets
      readdir() to use the functions which were introduced in the previous
      directory code update.
      
      Two memory allocations are merged into one. Eliminates zeroing of some
      buffers which were never used before they were initialised by
      other data.
      
      There is still scope for further improvement in the directory code.
      
      On the logging side, a hand created mutex has been replaced by a
      standard Linux mutex in the log allocation code.
