2010-12-16lockd: Rename nlm_hostsChuck Lever
Clean up. nlm_hosts now contains only server-side entries. Rename it to match convention of client side cache. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2010-12-16lockd: Clean up nlmsvc_lookup_host()Chuck Lever
Clean up. Change nlmsvc_lookup_host() to be purpose-built for server-side nlm_host management. This replaces the generic nlm_lookup_host() helper function, just like on the client side. The lookup logic is specialized for server host lookups. The server side cache also gets its own specialized equivalent of the nlm_release_host() function.

2010-12-16lockd: Create client-side nlm_host cacheChuck Lever
NFS clients don't need the garbage collection processing that is performed on nlm_host structures. The client picks up an nlm_host at mount time and holds a reference to it until the file system is unmounted. Servers, on the other hand, don't have a precise way to tell when an nlm_host is no longer being used, so zero refcount nlm_host entries are left to expire in the cache after a time. Basically there's nothing holding a reference to an nlm_host between individual server-side NLM requests, but we can't afford the expense of recreating them for every new NLM request from a client. The nlm_host cache adds some lifetime hysteresis to entries in the cache so the next time a particular nlm_host is needed, it's likely to be discovered by a lookup rather than created from whole cloth. With the new implementation, client nlm_host cache items are no longer garbage collected, and are destroyed directly by a new release function specialized for client entries, nlmclnt_release_host(). They are cached in their own data structure, and have their own lookup logic, simplified and specialized for client nlm_host entries. However, the client nlm_host cache still shares reboot recovery logic with the server nlm_host cache. The NSM "peer rebooted" downcall for clients and servers still come through the same RPC call. This is a legacy formal API that would be difficult to alter, and besides, the user space NSM implementation can't tell the difference between peers that are clients or servers. For this reason, the client cache continues to share the nlm_host_mutex (and reboot recovery logic) with the server cache.

2010-12-16lockd: Split nlm_release_call()Chuck Lever
The nlm_release_call() function is invoked from both the server and the client side. We're about to introduce a distinct server- and client-side nlm_release_host(), so nlm_release_call() must first be split into a client-side and a server-side version.

2010-12-16lockd: Add nlm_destroy_host_locked()Chuck Lever
Refactor the tail of nlm_gc_hosts() into nlm_destroy_host() so that this logic can be used separately from garbage collection. Rename it _locked() to document that it must be called with the hosts cache mutex held. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2010-12-16lockd: Add nlm_alloc_host()Chuck Lever
Refactor nlm_host allocation and initialization into a separate function. This will be the common piece of server and client nlm_host lookup logic after the nlm_host cache is split. Small change: use kmalloc() instead of kzalloc(), as we're overwriting almost all fields in the new nlm_host struct with non-zero values immediately after it is allocated. An added benefit is we now have an explicit reference to each field name where it is initialized (for all you cscope fans out there).

2010-12-16NFS: Simplify ->decode_dirent() calling sequenceChuck Lever
Clean up. The pointer returned by ->decode_dirent() is no longer used as a pointer. The only call site (xdr_decode() in fs/nfs/dir.c) simply extracts the errno value encoded in the pointer. Replace the returned pointer with a standard integer errno return value. Also, pass the "server" argument as part of the nfs_entry instead of as a separate parameter. It's faster to derive "server" in nfs_readdir_xdr_to_array() since we already have the directory's inode handy. "server" ought to be invariant for a set of entries in the same directory, right? The legacy versions of decode_dirent() don't use "server" anyway, so it's wasted work for them to derive and pass "server" for each entry.

For efficiency, we also eventually want to be able to pass xdr_streams from call_encode() and call_decode() to all XDR encoding functions, rather than building an xdr_stream in every XDR encoding and decoding function in the kernel.

This allows the compiler to choose automatically how to optimize these for size or speed. SHARE-related functionality doesn't seem to be used, as those functions are hiding behind a #define that isn't set anywhere that I can find. And, they've been in there forever (at least as far back as the kernel's git history goes), yet remain unused. Let's take the opportunity to bin them.

2010-12-16nilfs2: fix regression of garbage collection ioctlRyusuke Konishi
On 2.6.37-rc1, garbage collection ioctl of nilfs was broken due to the commit 263d90cefc7d82a0 ("nilfs2: remove own inode hash used for GC"), and leading to filesystem corruption. The patch doesn't queue gc-inodes for log writer if they are reused through the vfs inode cache. Here, gc-inode is the inode which buffers blocks to be relocated on GC. That patch queues gc-inodes in nilfs_init_gcinode() function, but this function is not called when they don't have I_NEW flag. Thus, some of live blocks are wrongly overrode without being moved to new logs. This resolves the problem by moving the gc-inode queueing to an outer function to ensure it's done right.

2010-12-14ext4: Turn off multiple page-io submission by defaultTheodore Ts'o
Jon Nelson has found a test case which causes postgresql to fail with the error: psql:t.sql:4: ERROR: invalid page header in block 38269 of relation base/16384/16581 Under memory pressure, it looks like part of a file can end up getting replaced by zero's. Until we can figure out the cause, we'll roll back the change and use block_write_full_page() instead of ext4_bio_write_page(). The new, more efficient writing function can be used via the mount option mblk_io_submit, so we can test and fix the new page I/O code. To reproduce the problem, install postgres 8.4 or 9.0, and pin enough memory such that the system just at the end of triggering writeback before running the following sql script: begin; create temporary table foo as select x as a, ARRAY[x] as b FROM generate_series(1, 10000000 ) AS x; create index foo_a_idx on foo (a); create index foo_b_idx on foo USING GIN (b); rollback; If the temporary table is created on a hard drive partition which is encrypted using dm_crypt, then under memory pressure, approximately 30-40% of the time, pgsql will issue the above failure. This patch should fix this problem, and the problem will come back if the file system is mounted with the mblk_io_submit mount option.

2010-12-13Btrfs: prevent RAID level downgrades when space is lowChris Mason
The extent allocator has code that allows us to fill allocations from any available block group, even if it doesn't match the raid level we've requested. This was put in because adding a new drive to a filesystem made with the default mkfs options actually upgrades the metadata from single spindle dup to full RAID1. But, the code also allows us to allocate from a raid0 chunk when we really want a raid1 or raid10 chunk. This can cause big trouble because mkfs creates a small (4MB) raid0 chunk for data and metadata which then goes unused for raid1/raid10 installs. The allocator will happily wander in and allocate from that chunk when things get tight, which is not correct. The fix here is to make sure that we provide duplication when the caller has asked for it. It does all the dups to be any raid level, which preserves the dup->raid1 upgrade abilities.
