2012-05-16GFS2: Fix quota adjustment return codeBob Peterson
This patch changes function gfs2_adjust_quota so that it properly returns a good (zero) return code on the normal path through the code. Without this, mounting GFS2 with -o quota=account periodically gave this error message: GFS2: fsid=cluster:fs: gfs2_quotad: sync error -5 Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
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.

2011-11-08GFS2: Fix up REQ flagsSteven Whitehouse
Christoph has split up REQ_PRIO from REQ_META. That means that we can drop REQ_PRIO from places where is it not needed. I'm not at all sure that the combination WRITE_FLUSH_FUA | REQ_PRIO makes any kind of sense, anyway. In addition, I've added REQ_META to one place in the code where it was missing. REQ_PRIO has been left for read/writes triggered by glock acquisition and writeback only. We can adjust it again if required, but these are the most important points from a performance perspective.

2011-10-21GFS2: Cache the most recently used resource group in the inodeSteven Whitehouse
This means that after the initial allocation for any inode, the last used resource group is cached in the inode for future use. This drastically reduces the number of lookups of resource groups in the common case, and this the contention on that data structure. The allocation algorithm is the same as previously, except that we always check to see if the goal block is within the cached rgrp first before going to the rbtree to look one up. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
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>

2011-03-09GFS2: quota allows exceeding hard limitAbhijith Das
Immediately after being synced to disk, cached quotas are zeroed out and a subsequent access of the cached quotas results in incorrect zero values. This meant that gfs2 assumed the actual usage to be the zero (or near-zero) usage values it found in the cached quotas and comparison against warn/limits never triggered a quota violation. This patch adds a new flag QDF_REFRESH that is set after a sync so that the cached quotas are forcefully refreshed from disk on a subsequent access on seeing this flag set.

2010-05-10GFS2: Fix writing to non-page aligned gfs2_quota structuresAbhijith Das
This is the upstream fix for this bug. This patch differs from the RHEL5 fix (Red Hat bz #555754) which simply writes to the 8-byte value field of the quota. In upstream quota code, we're required to write the entire quota (88 bytes) which can be split across a page boundary. We check for such quotas, and read/write the two parts from/to the corresponding pages holding these parts. With this patch, I don't see the bug anymore using the reproducer in Red Hat bz 555754. I successfully ran a couple of simple tests/mounts/ umounts and it doesn't seem like this patch breaks anything else.

Move it into vfs_quota_sync and add a wait parameter to ->quota_sync to tell if we need it or not.

2009-12-03GFS2: Improve statfs and quota usabilityBenjamin Marzinski
GFS2 now has three new mount options, statfs_quantum, quota_quantum and statfs_percent. statfs_quantum and quota_quantum simply allow you to set the tunables of the same name. Setting setting statfs_quantum to 0 will also turn on the statfs_slow tunable. statfs_percent accepts an integer between 0 and 100. Numbers between 1 and 100 will cause GFS2 to do any early sync when the local number of blocks free changes by at least statfs_percent from the totoal number of blocks free.

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: Fix "truncate in progress" hangSteven Whitehouse
Following on from the recent clean up of gfs2_quotad, this patch moves the processing of "truncate in progress" inodes from the glock workqueue into gfs2_quotad. This fixes a hang due to the "truncate in progress" processing requiring glocks in order to complete. It might seem odd to use gfs2_quotad for this particular item, but we have to use a pre-existing thread since creating a thread implies a GFP_KERNEL memory allocation which is not allowed from the glock workqueue context. Of the existing threads, gfs2_logd and gfs2_recoverd may deadlock if used for this operation. gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd are both scheduled for removal at some (hopefully not too distant) future point. That leaves only gfs2_quotad whose workload is generally fairly light and is easily adapted for this extra task. Also, as a result of this change, it opens the way for a future patch to make the reading of the inode's information asynchronous with respect to the glock workqueue, which is another improvement that has been on the list for some time now.

2009-01-05GFS2: Clean up & move gfs2_quotadSteven Whitehouse
This patch is a clean up of gfs2_quotad prior to giving it an extra job to do in addition to the current portfolio of updating the quota and statfs information from time to time. As a result it has been moved into quota.c allowing one of the functions it calls to be made static. Also the clean up allows the two existing functions to have separate timeouts and also to coexist with its future role of dealing with the "truncate in progress" inode flag. The (pointless) setting of gfs2_quotad_secs is removed since we arrange to only wake up quotad when one of the two timers expires. In addition the struct gfs2_quota_data is moved into a slab cache, mainly for easier debugging. It should also be possible to use a shrinker in the future, rather than the current scheme of scanning the quota data entries from time to time. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
