      ocfs2: fix rare stale inode errors when exporting via nfs · 6ca497a8
      wengang wang 提交于
      For nfs exporting, ocfs2_get_dentry() returns the dentry for fh.
      ocfs2_get_dentry() may read from disk when the inode is not in memory,
      without any cross cluster lock. this leads to the file system loading a
      stale inode.
      
      This patch fixes above problem.
      
      Solution is that in case of inode is not in memory, we get the cluster
      lock(PR) of alloc inode where the inode in question is allocated from (this
      causes node on which deletion is done sync the alloc inode) before reading
      out the inode itsself. then we check the bitmap in the group (the inode in
      question allcated from) to see if the bit is clear. if it's clear then it's
      stale. if the bit is set, we then check generation as the existing code
      does.
      
      We have to read out the inode in question from disk first to know its alloc
      slot and allot bit. And if its not stale we read it out using ocfs2_iget().
      The second read should then be from cache.
      
      And also we have to add a per superblock nfs_sync_lock to cover the lock for
      alloc inode and that for inode in question. this is because ocfs2_get_dentry()
      and ocfs2_delete_inode() lock on them in reverse order. nfs_sync_lock is locked
      in EX mode in ocfs2_get_dentry() and in PR mode in ocfs2_delete_inode(). so
      that mutliple ocfs2_delete_inode() can run concurrently in normal case.

      ocfs2: Implementation of local and global quota file handling · 9e33d69f
      Jan Kara 提交于
      For each quota type each node has local quota file. In this file it stores
      changes users have made to disk usage via this node. Once in a while this
      information is synced to global file (and thus with other nodes) so that
      limits enforcement at least aproximately works.
      
      Global quota files contain all the information about usage and limits. It's
      mostly handled by the generic VFS code (which implements a trie of structures
      inside a quota file). We only have to provide functions to convert structures
      from on-disk format to in-memory one. We also have to provide wrappers for
      various quota functions starting transactions and acquiring necessary cluster
      locks before the actual IO is really started.

      [PATCH 1/2] ocfs2: add flock lock type · cf8e06f1
      Mark Fasheh 提交于
      This adds a new dlmglue lock type which is intended to back flock()
      requests.
      
      Since these locks are driven from userspace, usage rules are much more
      liberal than the typical Ocfs2 internal cluster lock. As a result, we can't
      make use of most dlmglue features - lock caching and lock level
      optimizations in particular. Additionally, userspace is free to deadlock
      itself, so we have to deal with that in the same way as the rest of the
      kernel - by allowing a signal to abort a lock request.
      
      In order to keep ocfs2_cluster_lock() complexity down, ocfs2_file_lock()
      does it's own dlm coordination. We still use the same helper functions
      though, so duplicated code is kept to a minimum.

      ocfs2: Remove delete inode vote · 50008630
      Tiger Yang 提交于
      Ocfs2 currently does cluster-wide node messaging to check the open state of
      an inode during delete. This patch removes that mechanism in favor of an
      inode cluster lock which is taken at shared read when an inode is first read
      and dropped in clear_inode(). This allows a deleting node to test the
      liveness of an inode by attempting to take an exclusive lock.

      ocfs2: Add new cluster lock type · d680efe9
      Mark Fasheh 提交于
      Replace the dentry vote mechanism with a cluster lock which covers a set
      of dentries. This allows us to force d_delete() only on nodes which actually
      care about an unlink.
      
      Every node that does a ->lookup() gets a read only lock on the dentry, until
      an unlink during which the unlinking node, will request an exclusive lock,
      forcing the other nodes who care about that dentry to d_delete() it. The
      effect is that we retain a very lightweight ->d_revalidate(), and at the
      same time get to make large improvements to the average case performance of
      the ocfs2 unlink and rename operations.
      
      This patch adds the cluster lock type which OCFS2 can attach to
      dentries.  A small number of fs/ocfs2/dcache.c functions are stubbed
      out so that this change can compile.
