2006-11-30[GFS2] Fix journal flush problemSteven Whitehouse
This fixes a bug which resulted in poor performance due to flushing the journal too often. The code path in question was via the inode_go_sync() function in glops.c. The solution is not to flush the journal immediately when inodes are ejected from memory, but batch up the work for glockd to deal with later on. This means that glocks may now live on beyond the end of the lifetime of their inodes (but not very much longer in the normal case). Also fixed in this patch is a bug (which was hidden by the bug mentioned above) in calculation of the number of free journal blocks. The gfs2_logd process has been altered to be more responsive to the journal filling up. We now wake it up when the number of uncommitted journal blocks has reached the threshold level rather than trying to flush directly at the end of each transaction. This again means doing fewer, but larger, log flushes in general. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-11-30[GFS2] Simplify glops functionsSteven Whitehouse
The go_sync callback took two flags, but one of them was set on every call, so this patch removes once of the flags and makes the previously conditional operations (on this flag), unconditional. The go_inval callback took three flags, each of which was set on every call to it. This patch removes the flags and makes the operations unconditional, which makes the logic rather more obvious. Two now unused flags are also removed from incore.h. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-11-30[GFS2] Remove gfs2_inode_attr_inSteven Whitehouse
This function wasn't really doing the right thing. There was no need to update the inode size at this point and the updating of the i_blocks field has now been moved to the places where di_blocks is updated. A result of this patch and some those preceeding it is that unlocking a glock is now a much more efficient process, since there is no longer any requirement to copy data from the gfs2 inode into the vfs inode at this point.

2006-11-30[GFS2] Shrink gfs2_inode (8) - i_vnSteven Whitehouse
This shrinks the size of the gfs2_inode by 8 bytes by replacing the version counter with a one bit valid/invalid flag. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-11-30[GFS2] Shrink gfs2_inode (3) - di_modeSteven Whitehouse
This removes the duplicate di_mode field in favour of using the inode->i_mode field. This saves 4 bytes. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2006-10-03[GFS2] Move logging code into log.c (mostly)Steven Whitehouse
This moves the logging code from meta_io.c into log.c and glops.c. As a result the routines can now be static and all the logging code is together in log.c, leaving meta_io.c with just metadata i/o code in it. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-09-21[GFS2] Tidy up meta_io codeSteven Whitehouse
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. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-09-19[GFS2] Export lm_interface to kernel headersFabio Massimo Di Nitto
lm_interface.h has a few out of the tree clients such as GFS1 and userland tools. Right now, these clients keeps a copy of the file in their build tree that can go out of sync. Move lm_interface.h to include/linux, export it to userland and clean up fs/gfs2 to use the new location. Signed-off-by: Fabio M.

2006-09-05[GFS2] Fix end of multi-line structuresSteven Whitehouse
As per Jan Engelhardt's request, I've added a ',' to the end of each of the multi-line structures which didn't already have one (most already did). Cc: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-09-04[GFS2] Tidy up bmap/inode codeSteven Whitehouse
As per Jan Engelhardt's third set of comments, this make various code style changes and moves the structures from format.h into super.c, which was the only place that format.h was actually used. Cc: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-09-01[GFS2] Update copyright, tidy up incore.hSteven Whitehouse
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.

2006-08-30[GFS2] Remove unused code from glock layerSteven Whitehouse
Remove the unused sync feature from glocks. This is currently done by calling the required functions to sync pages/blocks directly so this code isn't needed. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-08-30[GFS2] Make glock operations constSteven Whitehouse
For all the usual reasons of enforcing correctness and potentially reducing code size, this patch makes the glock operations const. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-07-27[GFS2] Use a bio to read the superblockSteven Whitehouse
This means that we don't need to create a special inode just to contain a struct address_space in order to read a single disk block. Instead we read the disk block directly. Its slightly faster, and uses slightly less memory, but the real reason for doing this is that it removes a special case from the glock code. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-07-26[GFS2] Remove page.[ch]Steven Whitehouse
The remaining routines in page.c were all only used in one other file, so they are now moved into the files where they are referenced and made static. Thus page.[ch] are no longer required. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2006-06-14[GFS2] Fix unlinked file handlingSteven Whitehouse
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.

2006-04-07[GFS2] Fix a ref count bug and other clean upsSteven Whitehouse
This fixes a ref count bug that sometimes showed up a umount time (causing it to hang) but it otherwise mostly harmless. At the same time there are some clean ups including making the log operations structures const, moving a memory allocation so that its not done in the fast path of checking to see if there is an outstanding transaction related to a particular glock. Removes the sd_log_wrap varaible which was updated, but never actually used anywhere. Updates the gfs2 ioctl() to run without the kernel lock (which it never needed anyway). Removes the "invalidate inodes" loop from GFS2's put_super routine. This is done in kill super anyway so we don't need to do it here. The loop was also bogus in that if there are any inodes "stuck" at this point its a bug and we need to know about it rather than hide it by hanging forever.

2006-02-27[GFS2] Macros removal in gfs2.hSteven Whitehouse
As suggested by Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>. The DIV_RU macro is renamed DIV_ROUND_UP and and moved to kernel.h The other macros are gone from gfs2.h as (although not requested by Pekka Enberg) are a number of included header file which are now included individually. The inode number comparison function is now an inline function. The DT2IF and IF2DT may be addressed in a future patch. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-02-13[GFS2] Fix for root inode ref count bugSteven Whitehouse
Umount is now working correctly again. The bug was due to not getting an extra ref count when mounting the fs. We should have bumped it by two (once for the internal pointer to the root inode from the super block and once for the inode hanging off the dcache entry for root). Also this patch tidys up the code dealing with looking up and creating inodes. We now pass Linux inodes (with gfs2_inodes attached) rather than the other way around and this reduces code duplication in various places. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
