Instead of always splitting the file offset into 32-bit 'high' and 'low'
parts, just split them into the largest natural word-size - which in C
terms is 'unsigned long'.
This allows 64-bit architectures to avoid the unnecessary 32-bit
shifting and masking for native format (while the compat interfaces will
obviously always have to do it).
This also changes the order of 'high' and 'low' to be "low first". Why?
Because when we have it like this, the 64-bit system calls now don't use
the "pos_high" argument at all, and it makes more sense for the native
system call to simply match the user-mode prototype.
This results in a much more natural calling convention, and allows the
compiler to generate much more straightforward code. On x86-64, we now
generate
testq %rcx, %rcx # pos_l
js .L122 #,
movq %rcx, -48(%rbp) # pos_l, pos
from the C source
loff_t pos = pos_from_hilo(pos_h, pos_l);
...
if (pos < 0)
return -EINVAL;
and the 'pos_h' register isn't even touched. It used to generate code
like
mov %r8d, %r8d # pos_low, pos_low
salq $32, %rcx #, tmp71
movq %r8, %rax # pos_low, pos.386
orq %rcx, %rax # tmp71, pos.386
js .L122 #,
movq %rax, -48(%rbp) # pos.386, pos
which isn't _that_ horrible, but it does show how the natural word size
is just a more sensible interface (same arguments will hold in the user
level glibc wrapper function, of course, so the kernel side is just half
of the equation!)
Note: in all cases the user code wrapper can again be the same. You can
just do
#define HALF_BITS (sizeof(unsigned long)*4)
__syscall(PWRITEV, fd, iov, count, offset, (offset >> HALF_BITS) >> HALF_BITS);
or something like that. That way the user mode wrapper will also be
nicely passing in a zero (it won't actually have to do the shifts, the
compiler will understand what is going on) for the last argument.
And that is a good idea, even if nobody will necessarily ever care: if
we ever do move to a 128-bit lloff_t, this particular system call might
be left alone. Of course, that will be the least of our worries if we
really ever need to care, so this may not be worth really caring about.

pci mmap code was doing memtype reserve for a while now. Recently we
added memtype tracking in remap_pfn_range, and pci code indirectly calls
remap_pfn_range. So, we don't need seperate tracking in pci code
anymore. Which means a patch that removes ~50 lines of code :-).
Also, recently we found out that the pci tracking is not working as we expect
it to work in some cases. Specifically, userlevel X mmap of pci, with some
recent version of X, is having a problem with vm_page_prot getting reset.
The pci tracking uses vm_page_prot to pass on the protection type from parent
to child during fork.
a) Parent does a pci mmap
b) We look at PAT and get either UC_MINUS or WC mapping for parent
c) Store that mapping type in vma vm_page_prot for future use
d) This thread does a fork
e) Fork results in mmap_ops ->open for the child process
f) We get the vm_page_prot from vma and reserve that type for the child process
But, between c) and e) above, the vma vm_page_prot is getting reset to zero.
This results in PAT reserve failing at the time of fork as in here.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123858163103240&w=2
This cleanup makes the above problem go away as we do not depend on
vm_page_prot in our PAT code anymore.

During recovery, a node recovers orphans in it's slot and the dead node(s). But
if the dead nodes were holding orphans in offline slots, they will be left
unrecovered.
If the dead node is the last one to die and is holding orphans in other slots
and is the first one to mount, then it only recovers it's own slot, which
leaves orphans in offline slots.
This patch queues complete_recovery to clean orphans for all offline slots
during mount and node recovery.

A page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate, some buffers
can be uptodate on pagesize != blocksize environment.
This aops checks that all buffers which correspond to a part of a file
that we want to read are uptodate. If so, we do not have to issue actual
read IO to HDD even if a page is not uptodate because the portion we
want to read are uptodate.
"block_is_partially_uptodate" function is already used by ext2/3/4.
With the following patch random read/write mixed workloads or random read after
random write workloads can be optimized and we can get performance improvement.

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.

In ocfs2, the block group search looks for the "emptiest" group
to allocate from. So if the allocator has many equally(or almost
equally) empty groups, new block group will tend to get spread
out amongst them.
So we add osb_inode_alloc_group in ocfs2_super to record the last
used inode allocation group.
For more details, please see
http://oss.oracle.com/osswiki/OCFS2/DesignDocs/InodeAllocationStrategy.
I have done some basic test and the results are a ten times improvement on

In ocfs2, the inode block search looks for the "emptiest" inode
group to allocate from. So if an inode alloc file has many equally
(or almost equally) empty groups, new inodes will tend to get
spread out amongst them, which in turn can put them all over the
disk. This is undesirable because directory operations on conceptually
"nearby" inodes force a large number of seeks.
So we add ip_last_used_group in core directory inodes which records
the last used allocation group. Another field named ip_last_used_slot
is also added in case inode stealing happens. When claiming new inode,
we passed in directory's inode so that the allocation can use this

ocfs2_dx_dir_rebalance() is passed the block offset of a dx leaf which needs
rebalancing. Since we rebalance an entire cluster at a time however, this
function needs to calculate the beginning of that cluster, in blocks. The
calculation was wrong, which would result in a read of non-leaf blocks. Fix
the calculation by adding ocfs2_block_to_cluster_start() which is a more
straight-forward way of determining this.

ocfs2_empty_dir() is far more expensive than checking link count. Since both
need to be checked at the same time, we can improve performance by checking
link count first.

Since the disk format is finalized, we can set this feature bit in the
supported mask.

This little bit of extra accounting speeds up ocfs2_empty_dir()
dramatically by allowing us to short-circuit the full directory scan.

Since we've now got a directory format capable of handling a large number of
entries, we can increase the maximum link count supported. This only gets
increased if the directory indexing feature is turned on.

The only operation which doesn't get faster with directory indexing is
insert, which still has to walk the entire unindexed directory portion to
find a free block. This patch provides an improvement in directory insert
performance by maintaining a singly linked list of directory leaf blocks
which have space for additional dirents.

Allow us to store a small number of directory index records in the
ocfs2_dx_root_block. This saves us a disk read on small to medium sized
directories (less than about 250 entries). The inline root is automatically
turned into a root block with extents if the directory size increases beyond
it's capacity.

This patch makes use of Ocfs2's flexible btree code to add an additional
tree to directory inodes. The new tree stores an array of small,
fixed-length records in each leaf block. Each record stores a hash value,
and pointer to a block in the traditional (unindexed) directory tree where a
dirent with the given name hash resides. Lookup exclusively uses this tree
to find dirents, thus providing us with constant time name lookups.
Some of the hashing code was copied from ext3. Unfortunately, it has lots of
unfixed checkpatch errors. I left that as-is so that tracking changes would
be easier.

Many directory manipulation calls pass around a tuple of dirent, and it's
containing buffer_head. Dir indexing has a bit more state, but instead of
adding yet more arguments to functions, we introduce 'struct
ocfs2_dir_lookup_result'. In this patch, it simply holds the same tuple, but
future patches will add more state.

This patch removes the debugfs file local_alloc_stats as that information
is now included in the fs_state debugfs file.
