      [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.

      [GFS2] Readpages support · fd88de56
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This adds readpages support (and also corrects a small bug in
      the readpage error path at the same time). Hopefully this will
      improve performance by allowing GFS to submit larger lumps of
      I/O at a time.
      
      In order to simplify the setting of BH_Boundary, it currently gets
      set when we hit the end of a indirect pointer block. There is
      always a boundary at this point with the current allocation code.
      It doesn't get all the boundaries right though, so there is still
      room for improvement in this.
      
      See comments in fs/gfs2/ops_address.c for further information about
      readpages with GFS2.

      [GFS2] Add gfs2_internal_read() · f42faf4f
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Add the new external read function. Its temporarily in jdata.c
      even though the protoype is in ops_file.h - this will change
      shortly. The current implementation will change to a page cache
      one when that happens.
      
      In order to effect the above changes, the various internal inodes
      now have Linux inodes attached to them. We keep the references to
      the Linux inodes, rather than the gfs2_inodes in the super block.
      
      In order to get everything to work correctly I've had to reorder
      the init sequence on mount (which I should probably have done
      earlier when .gfs2_admin was made visible).
