      GFS2: rename causes kernel Oops · 728a756b
      Bob Peterson 提交于
      This patch fixes a kernel Oops in the GFS2 rename code.
      
      The problem was in the way the gfs2 directory code was trying
      to re-use sentinel directory entries.
      
      In the failing case, gfs2's rename function was renaming a
      file to another name that had the same non-trivial length.
      The file being renamed happened to be the first directory
      entry on the leaf block.
      
      First, the rename code (gfs2_rename in ops_inode.c) found the
      original directory entry and decided it could do its job by
      simply replacing the directory entry with another.  Therefore
      it determined correctly that no block allocations were needed.
      
      Next, the rename code deleted the old directory entry prior to
      replacing it with the new name.  Therefore, the soon-to-be
      replaced directory entry was temporarily made into a directory
      entry "sentinel" or a place holder at the start of a leaf block.
      
      Lastly, it went to re-add the replacement directory entry in
      that leaf block.  However, when gfs2_dirent_find_space was
      looking for space in the leaf block, it used the wrong value
      for the sentinel.  That threw off its calculations so later
      it decides it can't really re-use the sentinel and therefore
      must allocate a new leaf block.  But because it previously decided
      to re-use the directory entry, it didn't waste the time to
      grab a new block allocation for the inode.  Therefore, the
      inode's i_alloc pointer was still NULL and it crashes trying to
      reference it.
      
      In the case of sentinel directory entries, the entire dirent is
      reused, not just the "free space" portion of it, and therefore
      the function gfs2_dirent_find_space should use the value 0
      rather than GFS2_DIRENT_SIZE(0) for the actual dirent size.
      
      Fixing this calculation enables the reproducer programs to work
      properly.

      GFS2: glock livelock · 1a0eae88
      Bob Peterson 提交于
      This patch fixes a couple gfs2 problems with the reclaiming of
      unlinked dinodes.  First, there were a couple of livelocks where
      everything would come to a halt waiting for a glock that was
      seemingly held by a process that no longer existed.  In fact, the
      process did exist, it just had the wrong pid number in the holder
      information.  Second, there was a lock ordering problem between
      inode locking and glock locking.  Third, glock/inode contention
      could sometimes cause inodes to be improperly marked invalid by
      iget_failed.

      GFS2: Improve resource group error handling · 09010978
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch improves the error handling in the case where we
      discover that the summary information in the resource group
      doesn't match the bitmap information while in the process of
      allocating blocks. Originally this resulted in a kernel bug,
      but this patch changes that so that we return -EIO and print
      some messages explaining what went wrong, and how to fix it.
      
      We also remember locally not to try and allocate from the
      same rgrp again, so that a subsequent allocation in a
      different rgrp should succeed.

      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] Allow bmap to allocate extents · 9b8c81d1
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      We've supported mapping of extents when no block allocation is required
      for some time. This patch extends that to mapping of extents when an
      allocation has been requested. In that case we try to allocate as many
      blocks as are requested, but we might return fewer in case there is
      something preventing us from returning the complete amount (e.g. an
      already allocated block is in the way).
      
      Currently the only code path which can actually request multiple data
      blocks in a single bmap call is the page_mkwrite path and even then it
      only happens if there are multiple blocks per page. What this patch does
      do however, is merge the allocation requests for metadata (growing the
      metadata tree in either height or depth) with the allocation of the data
      blocks in the case that both are needed. This results in lower overheads
      even in the single block allocation case.
      
      The one thing which we can't handle here at the moment is unstuffing. I
      would like to be able to do that, but the problem which arises is that
      in order to unstuff one has to get a locked page from the page cache
      which results in locking problems in the (usual) case that the caller is
      holding the page lock on the page it wishes to map. So that case will
      have to be addressed in future patches.

      [GFS2] Eliminate (almost) duplicate field from gfs2_inode · 77658aad
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      The blocks counter is almost a duplicate of the i_blocks
      field in the VFS inode. The only difference is that i_blocks
      can be only 32bits long for 32bit arch without large single file
      support. Since GFS2 doesn't handle the non-large single file
      case (for 32 bit anyway) this adds a new config dependency on
      64BIT || LSF. This has always been the case, however we've never
      explicitly said so before.
      
      Even if we do add support for the non-LSF case, we will still
      not require this field to be duplicated since we will not be
      able to access oversized files anyway.
      
      So the net result of all this is that we shave 8 bytes from a gfs2_inode
      and get our config deps correct.

      [GFS2] Add extent allocation to block allocator · b45e41d7
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Rather than having to allocate a single block at a time, this patch
      allows the block allocator to allocate an extent. Since there is
      no difference (so far as the block allocator is concerned) between
      data blocks and indirect blocks, it is posible to allocate a single
      extent and for the caller to unrevoke just the blocks required
      for indirect blocks.
      
      Currently the only bit of GFS2 to make use of this feature is the

      [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.

      [GFS2] Alternate gfs2_iget to avoid looking up inodes being freed · 7a9f53b3
      Benjamin Marzinski 提交于
      There is a possible deadlock between two processes on the same node, where one
      process is deleting an inode, and another process is looking for allocated but
      unused inodes to delete in order to create more space.
      
      process A does an iput() on inode X, and it's i_count drops to 0. This causes
      iput_final() to be called, which puts an inode into state I_FREEING at
      generic_delete_inode(). There no point between when iput_final() is called, and
      when I_FREEING is set where GFS2 could acquire any glocks. Once I_FREEING is
      set, no other process on that node can successfully look up that inode until
      the delete finishes.
      
      process B locks the the resource group for the same inode in get_local_rgrp(),
      which is called by gfs2_inplace_reserve_i()
      
      process A tries to lock the resource group for the inode in
      gfs2_dinode_dealloc(), but it's already locked by process B
      
      process B waits in find_inode for the inode to have the I_FREEING state cleared.
      
      Deadlock.
      
      This patch solves the problem by adding an alternative to gfs2_iget(),
      gfs2_iget_skip(), that simply skips any inodes that are in the I_FREEING
      state.o The alternate test function is just like the original one, except that
      it fails if the inode is being freed, and sets a skipped flag. The alternate
      set function is just like the original, except that it fails if the skipped
      flag is set. Only try_rgrp_unlink() calls gfs2_iget_skip() instead of
      gfs2_iget().

      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

      This patch cleans up the inode number handling code. The main difference
      is that instead of looking up the inodes using a struct gfs2_inum_host
      we now use just the no_addr member of this structure. The tests relating
      to no_formal_ino can then be done by the calling code. This has
      advantages in that we want to do different things in different code
      paths if the no_formal_ino doesn't match. In the NFS patch we want to
      return -ESTALE, but in the ->lookup() path, its a bug in the fs if the
      no_formal_ino doesn't match and thus we can withdraw in this case.
      
      In order to later fix bz #201012, we need to be able to look up an inode
      without knowing no_formal_ino, as the only information that is known to
      us is the on-disk location of the inode in question.
      
      This patch will also help us to fix bz #236099 at a later date by
      cleaning up a lot of the code in that area.

      [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

      files fell from about 7mins (freshly mounted, so nothing cached) to
      between about 15 to 25 seconds. When the directory content was cached,
      the time taken fell from about 3mins to about 4 or 5 seconds.
      
      Interestingly in the cached case, running "ls -l" once reduced the time
      taken for subsequent runs of "ls" to about 6 secs even without this
      patch. Now it turns out that there was a special case of glocks being
      used for prefetching the metadata, but because of the timeouts for these
      locks (set to 10 secs) the metadata was being timed out before it was
      being used and this the prefetch code was constantly trying to prefetch
      the same data over and over.
      
      Calling "ls -l" meant that the inodes were brought into memory and once
      the inodes are cached, the glocks are not disposed of until the inodes
      are pushed out of the cache, thus extending the lifetime of the glocks,
      and thus bringing down the time for subsequent runs of "ls"
      considerably.
