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.

2007-10-10[GFS2] Data corruption fixWendy Cheng
* GFS2 has been using i_cache array to store its indirect meta blocks. Its flush routine doesn't correctly clean up all the entries. The problem would show while multiple nodes do simultaneous writes to the same file. Upon glock exclusive lock transfer, if the file is a sparse file with large file size where the indirect meta blocks span multiple array entries with "zero" entries in between. The flush routine prematurely stops the flushing that leaves old (stale) entries around. This leads to several nasty issues, including data corruption. * Fix gfs2_get_block_noalloc checking to correctly return EIO upon unmapped buffer.

2007-10-10[GFS2] Clean up journaled data writingSteven Whitehouse
This patch cleans up the code for writing journaled data into the log. It also removes the need to allocate a small "tag" structure for each block written into the log. Instead we just keep count of the outstanding I/O so that we can be sure that its all been written at the correct time. Another result of this patch is that a number of ll_rw_block() calls have become submit_bh() calls, closing some races at the same time. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-10-10[GFS2] GFS2: chmod hung - fix race in thread creationBob Peterson
The problem boiled down to a race between the gdlm_init_threads() function initializing thread1 and its setting of blist = 1. Essentially, "if (current == ls->thread1)" was checked by the thread before the thread creator set ls->thread1. Since thread1 is the only thread who is allowed to work on the blocking queue, and since neither thread thought it was thread1, no one was working on the queue. So everything just sat. This patch reuses the ls->async_lock spin_lock to fix the race, and it fixes the problem. I've done more than 2000 iterations of the loop that was recreating the failure and it seems to work.

2007-10-10[GFS2] flocks from same process trip kernel BUG at fs/gfs2/glock.c:1118!Abhijith Das
This patch adds a new flag to the gfs2_holder structure GL_FLOCK. It is set on holders of glocks representing flocks. This flag is checked in add_to_queue() and a process is permitted to queue more than one holder onto a glock if it is set. This solves the issue of a process not being able to do multiple flocks on the same file. Through a single descriptor, a process can now promote and demote flocks. Through multiple descriptors a process can now queue multiple flocks on the same file. There's still the problem of a process deadlocking itself (because gfs2 blocking locks are not interruptible) by queueing incompatible deadlock.

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>
2007-10-10[GFS2] Use slab operations for all gfs2_bufdata allocationsSteven Whitehouse
The old revoke structure was allocated using kalloc/kfree but there is a slab cache for gfs2_bufdata, so we should use that now that the structures have been converted. This is part two of the patch series to merge the revoke and gfs2_bufdata structures. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-10-10[GFS2] Replace revoke structure with bufdata structureSteven Whitehouse
Both the revoke structure and the bufdata structure are quite similar. They are basically small tags which are put on lists. In addition to which the revoke structure is always allocated when there is a bufdata structure which is (or can be) freed. As such it should be possible to reduce the number of frees and allocations by using the same structure for both purposes. This patch is the first step along that path. It replaces existing uses of the revoke structure with the bufdata structure. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2007-10-10[GFS2] Clean up ordered write codeSteven Whitehouse
The following patch removes the ordered write processing from databuf_lo_before_commit() and moves it to log.c. This has the effect of greatly simplyfying databuf_lo_before_commit() and well as potentially making the ordered write code more efficient. As a side effect of this, its now possible to remove ordered buffers from the ordered buffer list at any time, so we now make use of this in invalidatepage and releasepage to ensure timely release of these buffers. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-10-10[GFS2] Move pin/unpin into lops.c, clean up lockingSteven Whitehouse
gfs2_pin and gfs2_unpin are only used in lops.c, despite being defined in meta_io.c, so this patch moves them into lops.c and makes them static. At the same time, its possible to clean up the locking in the buf and databuf _lo_add() functions so that we only need to grab the spinlock once. Also we have to move lock_buffer() around the _lo_add() functions since we can't do that in gfs2_pin() any more since we hold the spinlock for the duration of that function. As a result, the code shrinks by 12 lines and we do far fewer operations when adding buffers to the log. It also makes the code somewhat easier to read & understand.

Fix a nasty inode meta data corruption issue by keeping the buffer head in icache array.

2007-10-10[GFS2] delay glock demote for a minimum hold timeBenjamin Marzinski
When a lot of IO, with some distributed mmap IO, is run on a GFS2 filesystem in a cluster, it will deadlock. The reason is that do_no_page() will repeatedly call gfs2_sharewrite_nopage(), because each node keeps giving up the glock too early, and is forced to call unmap_mapping_range(). This bumps the mapping->truncate_count sequence count, forcing do_no_page() to retry. This patch institutes a minimum glock hold time a tenth a second. This insures that even in heavy contention cases, the node has enough time to get some useful work done before it gives up the glock. A second issue is that when gfs2_glock_dq() is called from within a page fault to demote a lock, and the associated page needs to be written out, it will try to acqire a lock on it, but it has already been locked at a higher level. This patch puts makes gfs2_glock_dq() use the work queue as well, to avoid this issue. This is the same patch as Steve Whitehouse originally proposed to fix this issue, execpt that gfs2_glock_dq() now grabs a reference to the glock before it queues up the work on it.

2007-10-10[GFS2] panic after can't parse mount argumentsAbhijith Das
When you try to mount gfs2 with -o garbage, the mount fails and the gfs2 superblock is deallocated and becomes NULL. The vfs comes around later on and calls gfs2_kill_sb. At this point the hidden gfs2 superblock pointer (sb->s_fs_info) is NULL and dereferencing it through gfs2_meta_syncfs causes the panic. (the other function call to gfs2_delete_debugfs_file() succeeds because this function already checks for a NULL pointer) Signed-off-by: Abhijith Das <adas@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2007-10-10[GFS2] Ensure journal file cache is flushed after recoveryBob Peterson
This is for bugzilla bug #248176: GFS2: invalid metadata block Patches 1 thru 3 were accepted upstream, but there were problems with 4 and 5. Those issues have been resolved and now the recovery tests are passing without errors. This code has gone through 41 * 3 successful gfs2 recovery tests before it hit an unrelated (openais) problem. I'm continuing to test it. This is a complete rewrite of patch 5 for bug #248176, written by Steve Whitehouse. This is referred to in the bugzilla record as "new 6" and "a different solution". The problem was that the journal inodes, although protected by a glock, were not synched with the other nodes because they don't use the inode glock synch operations (i.e. no "glops" were defined). Therefore, journal recovery on a journal-recovering node were causing the blocks to get out of sync with the node that was actually trying to use that journal as it comes back up from a reboot. There are two possible solutions: (1) To make the journals use the normal inode glock sync operations, or (2) To make the journal operations take effect immediately (i.e. no caching). Although option 1 works, it turns out to be a lot more code. Steve opted for option 2, which is much simpler and therefore less prone to regression errors.
