      GFS2: Metadata address space clean up · 009d8518
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Since the start of GFS2, an "extra" inode has been used to store
      the metadata belonging to each inode. The only reason for using
      this inode was to have an extra address space, the other fields
      were unused. This means that the memory usage was rather inefficient.
      
      The reason for keeping each inode's metadata in a separate address
      space is that when glocks are requested on remote nodes, we need to
      be able to efficiently locate the data and metadata which relating
      to that glock (inode) in order to sync or sync and invalidate it
      (depending on the remotely requested lock mode).
      
      This patch adds a new type of glock, which has in addition to
      its normal fields, has an address space. This applies to all
      inode and rgrp glocks (but to no other glock types which remain
      as before). As a result, we no longer need to have the second
      inode.
      
      This results in three major improvements:
       1. A saving of approx 25% of memory used in caching inodes
       2. A removal of the circular dependency between inodes and glocks
       3. No confusion between "normal" and "metadata" inodes in super.c
      
      Although the first of these is the more immediately apparent, the
      second is just as important as it now enables a number of clean
      ups at umount time. Those will be the subject of future patches.

      GFS2: Clean up of glops.c · 6bac243f
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This cleans up a number of bits of code mostly based in glops.c.
      A couple of simple functions have been merged into the callers
      to make it more obvious what is going on, the mysterious raising
      of i_writecount around the truncate_inode_pages() call has been
      removed. The meta_go_* operations have been renamed rgrp_go_*
      since that is the only lock type that they are used with.
      
      The unused argument of gfs2_read_sb has been removed. Also
      a bug has been fixed where a check for the rindex inode was
      in the wrong callback. More comments are added, and the
      debugging code is improved too.

      [GFS2] Clean up the glock core · 6802e340
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch implements a number of cleanups to the core of the
      GFS2 glock code. As a result a lot of code is removed. It looks
      like a really big change, but actually a large part of this patch
      is either removing or moving existing code.
      
      There are some new bits too though, such as the new run_queue()
      function which is considerably streamlined. Highlights of this
      patch include:
      
       o Fixes a cluster coherency bug during SH -> EX lock conversions
       o Removes the "glmutex" code in favour of a single bit lock
       o Removes the ->go_xmote_bh() for inodes since it was duplicating
         ->go_lock()
       o We now only use the ->lm_lock() function for both locks and
         unlocks (i.e. unlock is a lock with target mode LM_ST_UNLOCKED)
       o The fast path is considerably shortly, giving performance gains
         especially with lock_nolock
       o The glock_workqueue is now used for all the callbacks from the DLM
         which allows us to simplify the lock_dlm module (see following patch)
       o The way is now open to make further changes such as eliminating the two
         threads (gfs2_glockd and gfs2_scand) in favour of a more efficient
         scheme.
      
      This patch has undergone extensive testing with various test suites
      so it should be pretty stable by now.

      [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] 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] Move pin/unpin into lops.c, clean up locking · 9b9107a5
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      gfs2_pin and gfs2_unpin are only used in lops.c, despite being
      defined in meta_io.c, so this patch moves them into lops.c and
      makes them static. At the same time, its possible to clean up
      the locking in the buf and databuf _lo_add() functions so that
      we only need to grab the spinlock once. Also we have to move
      lock_buffer() around the _lo_add() functions since we can't
      do that in gfs2_pin() any more since we hold the spinlock
      for the duration of that function.
      
      As a result, the code shrinks by 12 lines and we do far fewer
      operations when adding buffers to the log. It also makes the
      code somewhat easier to read & understand.

      [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] Tidy up meta_io code · 7276b3b0
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Fix a bug in the directory reading code, where we might have dereferenced
      a NULL pointer in case of OOM. Updated the directory code to use the new
      & improved version of gfs2_meta_ra() which now returns the first block
      that was being read. Previously it was releasing it requiring following
      code to grab the block again at each point it was called.
      
      Also turned off readahead on directory lookups since we are reading a
      hash table, and therefore reading the entries in order is very
      unlikely. Readahead is still used for all other calls to the
      directory reading function (e.g. when growing the hash table).
      
      Removed the DIO_START constant. Everywhere this was used, it was
      used to unconditionally start i/o aside from a couple of places, so
      I've removed it and made the couple of exceptions to this rule into
      separate functions.
      
      Also hunted through the other DIO flags and removed them as arguments
      from functions which were always called with the same combination of
      arguments.
      
      Updated gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer to be a bit more efficient and
      hopefully also be a bit easier to read.

      [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.
