2013-06-14GFS2: Add atomic_open supportSteven Whitehouse
I've restricted atomic_open to only operate on regular files, although I still don't understand why atomic_open should not be possible also for directories on GFS2. That can always be added in later though, if it makes sense. The ->atomic_open function can be passed negative dentries, which in most cases means either ENOENT (->lookup) or a call to d_instantiate (->create). In the GFS2 case though, we need to actually perform the look up, since we do not know whether there has been a new inode created on another node. The look up calls d_splice_alias which then tries to rehash the dentry - so the solution here is to simply check for that in d_splice_alias. The same issue is likely to affect any other cluster filesystem implementing ->atomic_open Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: "J.

2012-04-24GFS2: Remove unused argument from gfs2_internal_readAndrew Price
gfs2_internal_read accepts an unused ra_state argument, left over from when we did readahead on the rindex. Since there are currently no plans to add back this readahead, this patch removes the ra_state parameter and updates the functions which call gfs2_internal_read accordingly.

2011-10-21GFS2: Use ->dirty_inode()Steven Whitehouse
The aim of this patch is to use the newly enhanced ->dirty_inode() super block operation to deal with atime updates, rather than piggy backing that code into ->write_inode() as is currently done. The net result is a simplification of the code in various places and a reduction of the number of gfs2_dinode_out() calls since this is now implied by ->dirty_inode(). Some of the mark_inode_dirty() calls have been moved under glocks in order to take advantage of then being able to avoid locking in ->dirty_inode() when we already have suitable locks. One consequence is that generic_write_end() now correctly deals with file size updates, so that we do not need a separate check for that afterwards. This also, indirectly, means that fdatasync should work correctly on GFS2 - the current code always syncs the metadata whether it needs to or not. Has survived testing with postmark (with and without atime) and also fsx. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2011-05-13GFS2: Clean up symlink creationSteven Whitehouse
This moves the symlink specific parts of inode creation into the function where we initialise the rest of the dinode. As a result we have one less place where we need to look up the inode's buffer. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-05-09GFS2: Remove gfs2_dinode_print() functionSteven Whitehouse
This function was intended for debugging purposes, but it is not very useful. If we want to know what is on disk then all we need is a block number and gfs2_edit can give us much better information about what is there. Otherwise, if we are interested in what is stored in the in-core inode, it doesn't help us out there either. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-05-09GFS2: When adding a new dir entry, inc link count if it is a subdirSteven Whitehouse
This adds an increment of the link count when we add a new directory entry, if that entry is itself a directory. This means that we no longer need separate code to perform this operation. Now that both adding and removing directory entries automatically update the parent directory's link count if required, that makes the code shorter and simpler than before. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-04-20GFS2: Make writeback more responsive to system conditionsSteven Whitehouse
This patch adds writeback_control to writing back the AIL list. This means that we can then take advantage of the information we get in ->write_inode() in order to set off some pre-emptive writeback. In addition, the AIL code is cleaned up a bit to make it a bit simpler to understand. There is still more which can usefully be done in this area, but this is a good start at least. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-04-20GFS2: Optimise glock lru and end of life inodesSteven Whitehouse
The GLF_LRU flag introduced in the previous patch can be used to check if a glock is on the lru list when a new holder is queued and if so remove it, without having first to get the lru_lock. The main purpose of this patch however is to optimise the glocks left over when an inode at end of life is being evicted. Previously such glocks were left with the GLF_LFLUSH flag set, so that when reclaimed, each one required a log flush. This patch resets the GLF_LFLUSH flag when there is nothing left to flush thus preventing later log flushes as glocks are reused or demoted. In order to do this, we need to keep track of the number of revokes which are outstanding, and also to clear the GLF_LFLUSH bit after a log commit when only revokes have been processed.

2011-04-18GFS2: filesystem hang caused by incorrect lock orderBob Peterson
This patch fixes a deadlock in GFS2 where two processes are trying to reclaim an unlinked dinode: One holds the inode glock and calls gfs2_lookup_by_inum trying to look up the inode, which it can't, due to I_FREEING. The other has set I_FREEING from vfs and is at the beginning of gfs2_delete_inode waiting for the glock, which is held by the first. The solution is to add a new non_block parameter to the gfs2_iget function that causes it to return -ENOENT if the inode is being freed.

2011-01-18GFS2: Fix error path in gfs2_lookup_by_inum()Steven Whitehouse
In the (impossible, except if there is fs corruption) error path in gfs2_lookup_by_inum() if the call to gfs2_inode_refresh() fails, it was leaving the function by calling iput() rather than iget_failed(). This would cause future lookups of the same inode to block forever. This patch fixes the problem by moving the call to gfs2_inode_refresh() into gfs2_inode_lookup() where iget_failed() is part of the error path already. Also this cleans up some unreachable code and makes gfs2_set_iop() static. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2010-11-15GFS2: Fix inode deallocation raceSteven Whitehouse
This area of the code has always been a bit delicate due to the subtleties of lock ordering. The problem is that for "normal" alloc/dealloc, we always grab the inode locks first and the rgrp lock later. In order to ensure no races in looking up the unlinked, but still allocated inodes, we need to hold the rgrp lock when we do the lookup, which means that we can't take the inode glock. The solution is to borrow the technique already used by NFS to solve what is essentially the same problem (given an inode number, look up the inode carefully, checking that it really is in the expected state). We cannot do that directly from the allocation code (lock ordering again) so we give the job to the pre-existing delete workqueue and carry on with the allocation as normal. If we find there is no space, we do a journal flush (required anyway if space from a deallocation is to be released) which should block against the pending deallocations, so we should always get the space back.

2010-09-20GFS2: fallocate supportBenjamin Marzinski
This patch adds support for fallocate to gfs2. Since the gfs2 does not support uninitialized data blocks, it must write out zeros to all the blocks. However, since it does not need to lock any pages to read from, gfs2 can write out the zero blocks much more efficiently. On a moderately full filesystem, fallocate works around 5 times faster on average. The fallocate call also allows gfs2 to add blocks to the file without changing the filesize, which will make it possible for gfs2 to preallocate space for the rindex file, so that gfs2 can grow a completely full filesystem.

2010-09-20GFS2: Remove i_disksizeSteven Whitehouse
With the update of the truncate code, ip->i_disksize and inode->i_size are merely copies of each other. This means we can remove ip->i_disksize and use inode->i_size exclusively reducing the size of a GFS2 inode by 8 bytes. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2010-05-21GFS2: Rework reclaiming unlinked dinodesBob Peterson

2010-04-14GFS2: glock livelockBob Peterson
This patch fixes a couple gfs2 problems with the reclaiming of unlinked dinodes. First, there were a couple of livelocks where everything would come to a halt waiting for a glock that was seemingly held by a process that no longer existed. In fact, the process did exist, it just had the wrong pid number in the holder information. Second, there was a lock ordering problem between inode locking and glock locking. Third, glock/inode contention could sometimes cause inodes to be improperly marked invalid by iget_failed. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>

2009-03-24GFS2: Merge lock_dlm module into GFS2Steven Whitehouse
This is the big patch that I've been working on for some time now. There are many reasons for wanting to make this change such as: o Reducing overhead by eliminating duplicated fields between structures o Simplifcation of the code (reduces the code size by a fair bit) o The locking interface is now the DLM interface itself as proposed some time ago. o Fewer lookups of glocks when processing replies from the DLM o Fewer memory allocations/deallocations for each glock o Scope to do further optimisations in the future (but this patch is more than big enough for now!) Please note that (a) this patch relates to the lock_dlm module and not the DLM itself, that is still a separate module; and (b) that we retain the ability to build GFS2 as a standalone single node filesystem with out requiring the DLM. This patch needs a lot of testing, hence my keeping it I restarted my -git tree after the last merge window. That way, this has the maximum exposure before its merged. This is (modulo a few minor bug fixes) the same patch that I've been posting on and off the the last three months and its passed a number of different tests so far.

2009-01-05GFS2: Banish struct gfs2_dinode_hostSteven Whitehouse
The final field in gfs2_dinode_host was the i_flags field. Thats renamed to i_diskflags in order to avoid confusion with the existing inode flags, and moved into the inode proper at a suitable location to avoid creating a "hole". At that point struct gfs2_dinode_host is no longer needed and as promised (quite some time ago!) it can now be removed completely. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2008-09-18GFS2: high time to take some time over atimeSteven Whitehouse
Until now, we've used the same scheme as GFS1 for atime. This has failed since atime is a per vfsmnt flag, not a per fs flag and as such the "noatime" flag was not getting passed down to the filesystems. This patch removes all the "special casing" around atime updates and we simply use the VFS's atime code. The net result is that GFS2 will now support all the same atime related mount options of any other filesystem on a per-vfsmnt basis. We do lose the "lazy atime" updates, but we gain "relatime". We could add lazy atime to the VFS at a later date, if there is a requirement for that variant still - I suspect relatime will be enough. Also we lose about 100 lines of code after this patch has been applied, and I have a suspicion that it will speed things up a bit, even when atime is "on". So it seems like a nice clean up as well. From a user perspective, everything stays the same except the loss of the per-fs atime quantum tweekable (ought to be per-vfsmnt at the very least, and to be honest I don't think anybody ever used it) and that a number of options which were ignored before now work correctly. Please let me know if you've got any comments. I'm pushing this out early so that you can all see what my plans are. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-08-27GFS2: Fix & clean up GFS2 renameSteven Whitehouse
This patch fixes a locking issue in the rename code by ensuring that we hold the per sb rename lock over both directory and "other" renames which involve different parent directories. At the same time, this moved the (only called from one place) function gfs2_ok_to_move into the file that its called from, so we can mark it static. This should make a code a bit easier to follow.

2008-07-03[GFS2] don't call permission()Miklos Szeredi
GFS2 calls permission() to verify permissions after locks on the files have been taken. For this it's sufficient to call gfs2_permission() instead. This results in the following changes: - IS_RDONLY() check is not performed - IS_IMMUTABLE() check is not performed - devcgroup_inode_permission() is not called - security_inode_permission() is not called IS_RDONLY() should be unnecessary anyway, as the per-mount read-only flag should provide protection against read-only remounts during operations. do_gfs2_set_flags() has been fixed to perform mnt_want_write()/mnt_drop_write() to protect against remounting read-only. IS_IMMUTABLE has been added to gfs2_permission() Repeating the security checks seems to be pointless, as they don't normally change, and if they do, it's independent of the filesystem state.

2008-03-31[GFS2] Eliminate (almost) duplicate field from gfs2_inodeSteven Whitehouse
The blocks counter is almost a duplicate of the i_blocks field in the VFS inode. The only difference is that i_blocks can be only 32bits long for 32bit arch without large single file support. Since GFS2 doesn't handle the non-large single file case (for 32 bit anyway) this adds a new config dependency on 64BIT || LSF. This has always been the case, however we've never explicitly said so before. Even if we do add support for the non-LSF case, we will still not require this field to be duplicated since we will not be able to access oversized files anyway. So the net result of all this is that we shave 8 bytes from a gfs2_inode and get our config deps correct. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-03-31[GFS2] Streamline indirect pointer tree height calculationSteven Whitehouse
This patch improves the calculation of the tree height in order to reduce the number of operations which are carried out on each call to gfs2_block_map. In the common case, we now make a single comparison, rather than calculating the required tree height from scratch each time. Also in the case that the tree does need some extra height, we start from the current height rather from zero when we work out what the new height ought to be. In addition the di_height field is moved into the inode proper and reduced in size to a u8 since the value must be between 0 and GFS2_MAX_META_HEIGHT (10).

2008-01-25[GFS2] Introduce gfs2_set_aops()Steven Whitehouse
Just like ext3 we now have three sets of address space operations to cover the cases of writeback, ordered and journalled data writes. This means that the individual operations can now become less complicated as we are able to remove some of the tests for file data mode from the code. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-01-25[GFS2] Add gfs2_is_writeback()Steven Whitehouse
This adds a function "gfs2_is_writeback()" along the lines of the existing "gfs2_is_jdata()" in order to clean up the code and make the various tests for the inode mode more obvious. It also fixes the PageChecked() logic where we were resetting the flag too early in the case of an error path. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-10-10[GFS2] Alternate gfs2_iget to avoid looking up inodes being freedBenjamin Marzinski
There is a possible deadlock between two processes on the same node, where one process is deleting an inode, and another process is looking for allocated but unused inodes to delete in order to create more space. process A does an iput() on inode X, and it's i_count drops to 0. This causes iput_final() to be called, which puts an inode into state I_FREEING at generic_delete_inode(). There no point between when iput_final() is called, and when I_FREEING is set where GFS2 could acquire any glocks. Once I_FREEING is set, no other process on that node can successfully look up that inode until the delete finishes. process B locks the the resource group for the same inode in get_local_rgrp(), which is called by gfs2_inplace_reserve_i() process A tries to lock the resource group for the inode in gfs2_dinode_dealloc(), but it's already locked by process B process B waits in find_inode for the inode to have the I_FREEING state cleared. Deadlock. This patch solves the problem by adding an alternative to gfs2_iget(), gfs2_iget_skip(), that simply skips any inodes that are in the I_FREEING state.o The alternate test function is just like the original one, except that it fails if the inode is being freed, and sets a skipped flag. The alternate set function is just like the original, except that it fails if the skipped flag is set. Only try_rgrp_unlink() calls gfs2_iget_skip() instead of gfs2_iget(). Signed-off-by: Benjamin E.

2007-07-09[GFS2] Remove i_mode passing from NFS File HandleWendy Cheng
GFS2 has been passing i_mode within NFS File Handle. Other than the wrong assumption that there is always room for this extra 16 bit value, the current gfs2_get_dentry doesn't really need the i_mode to work correctly. Note that GFS2 NFS code does go thru the same lookup code path as direct file access route (where the mode is obtained from name lookup) but gfs2_get_dentry() is coded for different purpose. It is not used during lookup time. It is part of the file access procedure call. When the call is invoked, if on-disk inode is not in-memory, it has to be read-in. This makes i_mode passing a useless overhead. Signed-off-by: S. Wendy Cheng <wcheng@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-07-09[GFS2] Obtaining no_formal_ino from directory entryWendy Cheng
GFS2 lookup code doesn't ask for inode shared glock. This implies during in-memory inode creation for existing file, GFS2 will not disk-read in the inode contents. This leaves no_formal_ino un-initialized during lookup time. The un-initialized no_formal_ino is subsequently encoded into file handle.

2007-07-09[GFS2] Fix sign problem in quota/statfs and cleanup _host structuresSteven Whitehouse
This patch fixes some sign issues which were accidentally introduced into the quota & statfs code during the endianess annotation process. Also included is a general clean up which moves all of the _host structures out of gfs2_ondisk.h (where they should not have been to start with) and into the places where they are actually used (often only one place). Also those _host structures which are not required any more are removed entirely (which is the eventual plan for all of them). The conversion routines from ondisk.c are also moved into the places where they are actually used, which for almost every one, was just one single place, so all those are now static functions. This also cleans up the end of gfs2_ondisk.h which no longer needs the #ifdef __KERNEL__. The net result is a reduction of about 100 lines of code, many functions now marked static plus the bug fixes as mentioned above. For good measure I ran the code through sparse after making these changes to check that there are no warnings generated. This fixes Red Hat bz #239686 Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-07-09[GFS2] Clean up inode number handlingSteven Whitehouse
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. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-11-30[GFS2] Remove unused function from inode.cSteven Whitehouse

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.

2006-06-14[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.
