2010-09-28GFS2: reserve more blocks for transactionsBenjamin Marzinski
Some of the functions in GFS2 were not reserving space in the transaction for the resource group header and the resource groups bitblocks that get added when you do allocation. GFS2 now makes sure to reserve space for the resource group header and either all the bitblocks in the resource group, or one for each block that it may allocate, whichever is smaller using the new gfs2_rg_blocks() inline function.

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.

2008-03-31[GFS2] Update gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke to accept extentsSteven Whitehouse
By adding an extra argument to gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke we can now specify an extent length of blocks to unrevoke. This means that we only need to make one pass through the list for each extent rather than each block. Currently the only extent length which is used is 1, but that will change in the future. Also gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke is removed from gfs2_alloc_meta since its the only difference between this and gfs2_alloc_data which is left. This will allow a future patch to merge these two functions into one (i.e. one call to allocate both data and metadata in a single extent in the future).

2008-01-25[GFS2] Don't add glocks to the journalSteven Whitehouse
The only reason for adding glocks to the journal was to keep track of which locks required a log flush prior to release. We add a flag to the glock to allow this check to be made in a simpler way. This reduces the size of a glock (by 12 bytes on i386, 24 on x86_64) and means that we can avoid extra work during the journal flush. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-10-10[GFS2] Clean up gfs2_trans_add_revoke()Steven Whitehouse
The following alters gfs2_trans_add_revoke() to take a struct gfs2_bufdata as an argument. This eliminates the memory allocation which was previously required by making use of the already existing struct gfs2_bufdata. It makes some sanity checks to ensure that the gfs2_bufdata has been removed from all the lists before its recycled as a revoke structure. This saves one memory allocation and one free per revoke structure. Also as a result, and to simplify the locking, since there is no longer any blocking code in gfs2_trans_add_revoke() we must hold the log lock whenever this function is called. This reduces the amount of times we take and unlock the log lock. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-09-05[GFS2] Make headers compile on their ownSteven Whitehouse
As per Jan Engelhardt's comments, this should make all the headers compile on their own by including and/or declaring structures early. 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.

2006-06-14[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.

2006-03-29[GFS2] Update debugging codeSteven Whitehouse
Update the debugging code in trans.c and at the same time improve the debugging code for gfs2_holders. The new code should be pretty fast during the normal case and provide just as much information in case of errors (or more). One small function from glock.c has moved to glock.h as a static inline so that its return address won't get in the way of the debugging. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-02-08[GFS2] Make journaled data files identical to normal files on diskSteven Whitehouse
This is a very large patch, with a few still to be resolved issues so you might want to check out the previous head of the tree since this is known to be unstable. Fixes for the various bugs will be forthcoming shortly. This patch removes the special data format which has been used up till now for journaled data files. Directories still retain the old format so that they will remain on disk compatible with earlier releases. As a result you can now do the following with journaled data files: 1) mmap them 2) export them over NFS 3) convert to/from normal files whenever you want to (the zero length restriction is gone) In addition the level at which GFS' locking is done has changed for all files (since they all now use the page cache) such that the locking is done at the page cache level rather than the level of the fs operations. This should mean that things like loopback mounts and other things which touch the page cache directly should now work. Current known issues: 1. There is a lock mode inversion problem related to the resource group hold function which needs to be resolved. 2. Any significant amount of I/O causes an oops with an offset of hex 320 (NULL pointer dereference) which appears to be related to a journaled data buffer appearing on a list where it shouldn't be. 3. Direct I/O writes are disabled for the time being (will reappear later) 4. There is probably a deadlock between the page lock and GFS' locks under certain combinations of mmap and fs operation I/O. 5. Issue relating to ref counting on internally used inodes causes a hang on umount (discovered before this patch, and not fixed by it) 6. One part of the directory metadata is different from GFS1 and will need to be resolved before next release. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
