      [GFS2] Don't periodically update the jindex · e35b9211
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      We only care about the content of the jindex in two cases,
      one is when we mount the fs and the other is when we need
      to recover another journal. In both cases we have to update
      the jindex anyway, so there is no point in updating it
      periodically between times, so this removes it to simplify
      gfs2_logd.

      [GFS2] Remove "reclaim limit" · c2932e03
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This call to reclaim glocks is not needed, and in particular we don't want it
      in the fast path for locking glocks. The limit was entirely arbitrary anyway
      and we can't expect users to adjust things like this, the remaining code will
      do the right thing on its own.

      [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] 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] Clean up inode number handling · dbb7cae2
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      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.
      
      There are no user visible changes as a result of this patch and there
      are no changes to the on-disk format either.

      [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
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      The "greedy" code was an attempt to retain glocks for a minimum length
      of time when they relate to mmap()ed files. The current implementation
      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] Clean up/speed up readdir · 3699e3a4
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This removes the extra filldir callback which gfs2 was using to
      enclose an attempt at readahead for inodes during readdir. The
      code was too complicated and also hurts performance badly in the
      case that the getdents64/readdir call isn't being followed by
      stat() and it wasn't even getting it right all the time when it
      was.
      
      As a result, on my test box an "ls" of a directory containing 250000
      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.

      [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.

      This reduces the size of the directory code by about 3k and gets

      other data.
      
      There is still scope for further improvement in the directory code.

      standard Linux mutex in the log allocation code.

      [GFS2] Fix bug in directory code and tidy up · c752666c
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Due to a typo, the dir leaf split operation was (for the first
      split in a directory) writing the new hash vaules at the
      wrong offset. This is now fixed.
      
      Also some other tidy ups are included:
      
       - We use GFS2's hash function for dentries (see ops_dentry.c) so that
         we don't have to keep recalculating the hash values.
       - A lot of common code is eliminated between the various directory
         lookup routines.
       - Better error checking on directory lookup (previously different
         routines checked for different errors)
       - The leaf split operation has a couple of redundant operations
         removed from it, so it should be faster.
      
      There is still further scope for further clean ups in the directory
      code, and readdir in particular could do with slimming down a bit.

      We no longer lookup ".gfs2_admin" in the root directory in order to

      Both the root directory and the admin directory are now looked up using

      Also, there is no longer a reference to the root inode in the

      sb->s_root->d_inode instead.
      
      Assuming that we introduce a metadata filesystem type for GFS, then
      this is a first step towards that goal.
