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.

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.

This patch fixes some bugs relating to journaled data files by cleaning
up the gfs2_invalidatepage() and gfs2_releasepage() functions. We now
never block during gfs2_releasepage(), instead we always either release
or refuse to release depending on the status of the buffers.

This fixes Red Hat bugzillas #248969 and #252392.

Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes
the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings.

->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code
should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping.  The hitch here
is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie.  pgoff).
 But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function
calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation).

Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing
to be doing.

This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and
->populate and (later) ->nopfn.  Most of the old mechanism is still in place
so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if
everyone switches over.

The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are
subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid
to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two.

After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in
pagecache.  Seems like a fringe functionality anyway.

NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed.  This should be implemented with ->fault, and no
users have hit mainline yet.

This patch is for bugzilla bug 283162, which uncovered a number of
bugs pertaining to writing to files that have the journaled bit on.
These bugs happen most often when writing to the meta_fs because
the files are always journaled.  So operations like gfs2_grow were
particularly vulnerable, although many of the problems could be
recreated with normal files after setting the journaled bit on.
The problems fixed are:

-GFS2 wasn't ever writing unstuffed journaled data blocks to their
 in-place location on disk. Now it does.

-If you unmounted too quickly after doing IO to a journaled file,
 GFS2 was crashing because you would discard a buffer whose bufdata
 was still on the active items list.  GFS2 now deals with this
 gracefully.

-GFS2 was losing track of the bufdata for journaled data blocks,
 and it wasn't getting freed, causing an error when you tried to
 unmount the module.  GFS2 now frees all the bufdata structures.

-There was a memory corruption occurring because GFS2 wrote
 twice as many log entries for journaled buffers.

-It was occasionally trying to write journal headers in buffers
 that weren't currently mapped.

This is a patch for the first three issues of RHBZ #238162

The first issue is that when you allocate a new page for a file, it will not
start off uptodate. This makes sense, since you haven't written anything to that
part of the file yet.  Unfortunately, gfs2_pin() checks to make sure that the
buffers are uptodate.  The solution to this is to mark the buffers uptodate in
gfs2_commit_write(), after they have been zeroed out and have the data written
into them.  I'm pretty confident with this fix, although it's not completely
obvious that there is no problem with marking the buffers uptodate here.

The second issue is simply that you can try to pin a data buffer that is already
on the incore log, and thus, already pinned. This patch checks to see if this
buffer is already on the log, and exits databuf_lo_add() if it is, just like
buf_lo_add() does.

The third issue is that gfs2_log_flush() doesn't do it's block accounting
correctly.  Both metadata and journaled data are logged, but gfs2_log_flush()
only compares the number of metadata blocks with the number of blocks to commit
to the ondisk journal.  This patch also counts the journaled data blocks.

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.

This addendum patch 2 corrects three things:

1. It fixes a stupid mistake in the previous addendum that broke gfs2.
   Ref: https://www.redhat.com/archives/cluster-devel/2007-May/msg00162.html
2. It fixes a problem that Dave Teigland pointed out regarding the

3. It recasts a couple more %llu printks to (unsigned long long)

To avoid code redundancy, I separated out the operational "guts" into
a new function called read_rindex_entry.  Then I made two functions:
the closer-to-original gfs2_ri_update (without the special condition
checks) and gfs2_ri_update_special that's designed with that condition
in mind.  (I don't like the name, but if you have a suggestion, I'm

Oh, and there's an added benefit:  we don't need all the ugly gotos

This is another revision of my gfs2 kernel patch that allows
gfs2_grow to function properly.

Steve Whitehouse expressed some concerns about the previous
patch and I restructured it based on his comments.
The previous patch was doing the statfs_change at file close time,
under its own transaction.  The current patch does the statfs_change
inside the gfs2_commit_write function, which keeps it under the
umbrella of the inode transaction.

I can't call ri_update to re-read the rindex file during the
transaction because the transaction may have outstanding unwritten
buffers attached to the rgrps that would be otherwise blown away.
So instead, I created a new function, gfs2_ri_total, that will
re-read the rindex file just to total the file system space
for the sake of the statfs_change.  The ri_update will happen
later, when gfs2 realizes the version number has changed, as it
happened before my patch.

Since the statfs_change is happening at write_commit time and there
may be multiple writes to the rindex file for one grow operation.
So one consequence of this restructuring is that instead of getting
one kernel message to indicate the change, you may see several.
For example, before when you did a gfs2_grow, you'd get a single
message like:

GFS2: File system extended by 247876 blocks (968MB)

Now you get something like:

GFS2: File system extended by 207896 blocks (812MB)
GFS2: File system extended by 39980 blocks (156MB)

This version has also been successfully run against the hours-long
"gfs2_fsck_hellfire" test that does several gfs2_grow and gfs2_fsck
while interjecting file system damage.  It does this repeatedly
under a variety Resource Group conditions.

If a stuffed file is mmaped and a page fault is generated at some offset
above the initial page, we need to create a zero page to hang the buffer

Signed-off-by: NSteven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

If we are writing a file, and in the middle of writing the file
another node attempts to get a shared lock on that file (by doing a du for
example) the process doing the writing will hang waiting on lock_page.  The
reason for this is because when we have waiters on a exclusive glock, we will go
through and flush out all dirty pages associated with that inode and release the
lock.  The problem is that when we flush the dirty pages, we could hit a page
that we have locked durring the generic_file_buffered_write part of this
operation.  This patch unlocks the page before we go to dequeue the lock and
locks it immediatly afterwards, since generic_file_buffered_write needs the page
locked when the commit_write is completed.  This patch resolves the problem,
however if somebody sees a better way to do this please don't hesistate to yell.

This fixes a problem I encountered while running bonnie++.  When you have one
thread that opens a file and starts to write to it, and then another thread that
tries to open and write to the same file, the second thread will loop forever
trying to grab the inode lock for that inode.  Basically we come in through
generic_buffered_file_write, which calls gfs2_prepare_write, which then attempts
to grab the glock.  Because we don't own the lock, gfs2_prepare_write gets
GLR_TRYFAILED, which returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE to generic_buffered_file_write.
At this point generic_buffered_file_write loops around again and immediately
retries the prepare_write.  This means that the second process never gets off of
the processor in order to allow the process that holds the lock to finish its
work and let go of the lock.  This patch makes gfs2_glock_nq schedule() if it
gets back a GLR_TRYFAILED, which resolves this problem.

It occurred to me that although a gfs2 specific writepages for ordered
writes and journaled data would be tricky, by hooking writepages only
for "data=writeback" mounts we could take advantage of not needing
buffer heads (we don't use them on the read side, nor have we for some
time) and create much larger I/Os for the block layer.

Using blktrace both before and after, its possible to see that for large
I/Os, most of the requests generated through writepages are now 1024
sectors after this patch is applied as opposed to 8 sectors before.

This is partially derrived from a patch written by Russell Cattelan.
It fixes a bug where there is a race between readpages and truncate
by ignoring readpages for stuffed files. This is ok because a stuffed
file will never be more than one block (minus sizeof(struct gfs2_dinode))
in size and block size is always less than page size, so we do not lose
anything efficiency-wise by not doing readahead for stuffed files. They
will have already been "read ahead" by the action of reading the inode
in, in the first place.

This is the remaining part of the fix for Red Hat bugzilla #218966

This patch fixes Red Hat bugzilla #212627 in which a deadlock occurs
due to trying to take the i_mutex while holding a glock. The correct
locking order is defined as i_mutex -> glock in all cases.

I've left dealing with allocating writes. I know that we need to do
that, but for now this should do the trick. We don't need to take the
i_mutex on write, because the VFS has already taken it for us. On read
we don't need it since the glock is enough protection. The reason that
I've made some of the checks into a separate function is that we'll need
to do the checks again in the allocating write case eventually, so this
is partly in preparation for this. Likewise the return value test of !=
1 might look a bit odd and thats because we'll need a third return value
in case of requiring an allocation.

I've made the change to deferred mode on the glock to ensure flushing
read caches on other nodes. I notice that (using blktrace to look at
whats going on) we appear to do a better job of large I/Os than ext3
after this patch (in terms of not splitting up the I/Os).

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.

This is a tidy up of the GFS2 bmap code. The main change is that the
bh is passed to gfs2_block_map allowing the flags to be set directly
rather than having to repeat that code several times in ops_address.c.

At the same time, the extent mapping code from gfs2_extent_map has
been moved into gfs2_block_map. This allows all calls to gfs2_block_map
to map extents in the case that no allocation is taking place. As a
result reads and non-allocating writes should be faster. A quick test
with postmark appears to support this.

There is a limit on the number of blocks mapped in a single bmap
call in that it will only ever map blocks which are pointed to
from a single pointer block. So in other words, it will never try
to do additional i/o in order to satisfy read-ahead. The maximum
number of blocks is thus somewhat less than 512 (the GFS2 4k block
size minus the header divided by sizeof(u64)). I've further limited
the mapping of "normal" blocks to 32 blocks (to avoid extra work)
since readpages() will currently read a maximum of 32 blocks ahead (128k).

Some further work will probably be needed to set a suitable value
for DIO as well, but for now thats left at the maximum 512 (see
ops_address.c:gfs2_get_block_direct).

There is probably a lot more that can be done to improve bmap for GFS2,
but this is a good first step.
