      [GFS2] Clean up journaled data writing · 16615be1
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch cleans up the code for writing journaled data into the log.
      It also removes the need to allocate a small "tag" structure for each
      block written into the log. Instead we just keep count of the outstanding
      I/O so that we can be sure that its all been written at the correct time.
      Another result of this patch is that a number of ll_rw_block() calls
      have become submit_bh() calls, closing some races at the same time.

      [GFS2] Replace revoke structure with bufdata structure · 82e86087
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Both the revoke structure and the bufdata structure are quite similar.
      They are basically small tags which are put on lists. In addition to
      which the revoke structure is always allocated when there is a bufdata
      structure which is (or can be) freed. As such it should be possible to
      reduce the number of frees and allocations by using the same structure
      for both purposes.
      
      This patch is the first step along that path. It replaces existing uses
      of the revoke structure with the bufdata structure.

      [GFS2] Clean up ordered write code · d7b616e2
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      The following patch removes the ordered write processing from
      databuf_lo_before_commit() and moves it to log.c. This has the effect of
      greatly simplyfying databuf_lo_before_commit() and well as potentially
      making the ordered write code more efficient.
      
      As a side effect of this, its now possible to remove ordered buffers
      from the ordered buffer list at any time, so we now make use of this in
      invalidatepage and releasepage to ensure timely release of these
      buffers.

      [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] assertion failure after writing to journaled file, umount · 2332c443
      Robert Peterson 提交于
      This patch passes all my nasty tests that were causing the code to
      fail under one circumstance or another.  Here is a complete summary
      of all changes from today's git tree, in order of appearance:
      
      1. There are now separate variables for metadata buffer accounting.
      2. Variable sd_log_num_hdrs is no longer needed, since the header
         accounting is taken care of by the reserve/refund sequence.
      3. Fixed a tiny grammatical problem in a comment.
      4. Added a new function "calc_reserved" to calculate the reserved
         log space.  This isn't entirely necessary, but it has two benefits:
         First, it simplifies the gfs2_log_refund function greatly.
         Second, it allows for easier debugging because I could sprinkle the
         code with calls to this function to make sure the accounting is
         proper (by adding asserts and printks) at strategic point of the code.
      5. In log_pull_tail there apparently was a kludge to fix up the
         accounting based on a "pull" parameter.  The buffer accounting is
         now done properly, so the kludge was removed.
      6. File sync operations were making a call to gfs2_log_flush that
         writes another journal header.  Since that header was unplanned
         for (reserved) by the reserve/refund sequence, the free space had
         to be decremented so that when log_pull_tail gets called, the free
         space is be adjusted properly.  (Did I hear you call that a kludge?
         well, maybe, but a lot more justifiable than the one I removed).
      7. In the gfs2_log_shutdown code, it optionally syncs the log by
         specifying the PULL parameter to log_write_header.  I'm not sure
         this is necessary anymore.  It just seems to me there could be
         cases where shutdown is called while there are outstanding log
         buffers.
      8. In the (data)buf_lo_before_commit functions, I changed some offset
         values from being calculated on the fly to being constants.	That
         simplified some code and we might as well let the compiler do the
         calculation once rather than redoing those cycles at run time.
      9. This version has my rewritten databuf_lo_add function.
         This version is much more like its predecessor, buf_lo_add, which
         makes it easier to understand.  Again, this might not be necessary,
         but it seems as if this one works as well as the previous one,
         maybe even better, so I decided to leave it in.
      10. In databuf_lo_before_commit, a previous data corruption problem
         was caused by going off the end of the buffer.  The proper solution
         is to have the proper limit in place, rather than stopping earlier.
         (Thus my previous attempt to fix it is wrong).
         If you don't wrap the buffer, you're stopping too early and that
         causes more log buffer accounting problems.
      11. In lops.h there are two new (previously mentioned) constants for
         figuring out the data offset for the journal buffers.
      12. There are also two new functions, buf_limit and databuf_limit to
         calculate how many entries will fit in the buffer.
      13. In function gfs2_meta_wipe, it needs to distinguish between pinned
         metadata buffers and journaled data buffers for proper journal buffer
         accounting.	It can't use the JDATA gfs2_inode flag because it's
         sometimes passed the "real" inode and sometimes the "metadata
         inode" and the inode flags will be random bits in a metadata
         gfs2_inode.	It needs to base its decision on which was passed in.

      [GFS2] Recovery for lost unlinked inodes · c8cdf479
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Under certain circumstances its possible (though rather unlikely) that
      inodes which were unlinked by one node while still open on another might
      get "lost" in the sense that they don't get deallocated if the node
      which held the inode open crashed before it was unlinked.
      
      This patch adds the recovery code which allows automatic deallocation of
      the inode if its found during block allocation (the sensible time to
      look for such inodes since we are scanning the rgrp's bitmaps anyway at
      this time, so it adds no overhead to do this).
      
      Since the inode will have had its i_nlink set to zero, all we need to
      trigger recovery is a lookup and an iput(), and the normal deallocation
      code takes care of the rest.

      [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] lockdump improvements · 5f882096
      Robert Peterson 提交于
      The patch below consists of the following changes (in code order):
      
      1. I fixed a minor compiler warning regarding the printing of
         a kernel symbol address.
      2. I implemented a suggestion from Dave Teigland that moves
         the debugfs information for gfs2 into a subdirectory so
         we can easily expand our use of debugfs in the future.
         The current code keeps the glock information in:
         /debug/gfs2/<fs>
         With the patch, the new code keeps the glock information in:
         /debug/gfs2/<fs>/glock
         That will allow us to create more debugfs files in the future.
      3. This fixes a bug whereby a failed mount attempt causes the
         debugfs file to not be deleted.  Failed mount attempts should
         always clean up after themselves, including deleting the
         debugfs file and/or directory.

      [GFS2] Red Hat bz 228540: owner references · 04b933f2
      Robert Peterson 提交于
      In Testing the previously posted and accepted patch for
      https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228540
      I uncovered some gfs2 badness.  It turns out that the current
      gfs2 code saves off a process pointer when glocks is taken
      in both the glock and glock holder structures.  Those
      structures will persist in memory long after the process has
      ended; pointers to poisoned memory.
      
      This problem isn't caused by the 228540 fix; the new capability
      introduced by the fix just uncovered the problem.
      
      I wrote this patch that avoids saving process pointers
      and instead saves off the process pid.  Rather than
      referencing the bad pointers, it now does process lookups.
      There is special code that makes the output nicer for
      printing holder information for processes that have ended.
      
      This patch also adds a stub for the new "sprint_symbol"
      function that exists in Andrew Morton's -mm patch set, but
      won't go into the base kernel until 2.6.22, since it adds
      functionality but doesn't fix a bug.

      [GFS2] Fix bz 224480 and cleanup glock demotion code · 3b8249f6
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch prevents the printing of a warning message in cases where
      the fs is functioning normally by handing off responsibility for
      unlinked, but still open inodes, to another node for eventual deallocation.
      Also, there is now an improved system for ensuring that such requests
      to other nodes do not get lost. The callback on the iopen lock is
      only ever called when i_nlink == 0 and when a node is unable to deallocate
      it due to it still being in use on another node. When a node receives
      the callback therefore, it knows that i_nlink must be zero, so we mark
      it as such (in gfs2_drop_inode) in order that it will then attempt
      deallocation of the inode itself.
      
      As an additional benefit, queuing a demote request no longer requires
      a memory allocation. This simplifies the code for dealing with gfs2_holders
      as it removes one special case.
      
      There are two new fields in struct gfs2_glock. gl_demote_state is the
      state which the remote node has requested and gl_demote_time is the
      time when the request came in. Both fields are only valid when the
      GLF_DEMOTE flag is set in gl_flags.

      [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.

      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] Shrink gfs2_inode memory by half · fee852e3
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Here is something I spotted (while looking for something entirely
      different) the other day.
      
      Rather than using a completion in each and every struct gfs2_holder,
      this removes it in favour of hashed wait queues, thus saving a
      considerable amount of memory both on the stack (where a number of
      gfs2_holder structures are allocated) and in particular in the
      gfs2_inode which has 8 gfs2_holder structures embedded within it.
      
      As a result on x86_64 the gfs2_inode shrinks from 2488 bytes to
      1912 bytes, a saving of 576 bytes per inode (no thats not a typo!).
      In actual practice we get a much better result than that since
      now that a gfs2_inode is under the 2048 byte barrier, we get two
      per 4k slab page effectively halving the amount of memory required
      to store gfs2_inodes.

      [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.
