2011-07-15GFS2: Cache dir hash table in a contiguous bufferSteven Whitehouse
This patch adds a cache for the hash table to the directory code in order to help simplify the way in which the hash table is accessed. This is intended to be a first step towards introducing some performance improvements in the directory code. There are two follow ups that I'm hoping to see fairly shortly. One is to simplify the hash table reading code now that we always read the complete hash table, whether we want one entry or all of them. The other is to introduce readahead on the heads of the hash chains which are referred to from the table. The hash table is a maximum of 128k in size, so it is not worth trying to read it in small chunks. 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.

2011-05-09GFS2: Make gfs2_dir_del update link count when requiredSteven Whitehouse
When we remove an entry from a directory, we can save ourselves some trouble if we know the type of the entry in question, since if it is itself a directory, we can update the link count of the parent at the same time as removing the directory entry. In addition this patch also merges the rmdir and unlink code which was almost identical anyway. This eliminates the calls to remove the . and .. directory entries on each rmdir (not needed since the directory will be deallocated, anyway) which was the only thing preventing passing the dentry to gfs2_dir_del(). The passing of the dentry rather than just the name allows us to figure out the type of the entry which is being removed, and thus adjust the link count when required.

2011-04-20GFS2: move function foreach_leaf to gfs2_dir_exhash_deallocBob Peterson
The previous patches made function gfs2_dir_exhash_dealloc do nothing but call function foreach_leaf.

2011-04-20GFS2: pass leaf_bh into leaf_deallocBob Peterson
Function foreach_leaf used to look up the leaf block address and get a buffer_head. Then it would call leaf_dealloc which did the same lookup. This patch combines the two operations by making foreach_leaf pass the leaf bh to leaf_dealloc.

2011-04-20GFS2: Combine transaction from gfs2_dir_exhash_deallocBob Peterson
At the end of function gfs2_dir_exhash_dealloc, it was setting the dinode type to "file" to prevent directory corruption in case of a crash. It was doing so in its own journal transaction. This patch makes the change occur when the last call is make to leaf_dealloc, since it needs to rewrite the directory dinode at that time anyway.

2011-04-20GFS2: remove *leaf_call_t and simplify leaf_deallocBob Peterson
Since foreach_leaf is only called with leaf_dealloc as its only possible call function, we can simplify the code by making it call leaf_dealloc directly. This simplifies the code and eliminates the need for leaf_call_t, the generic call method. This is a first small step in simplifying the directory leaf deallocation code.

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.

2010-07-28GFS2: Use kmalloc when possible for ->readdir()Steven Whitehouse
If we don't need a huge amount of memory in ->readdir() then we can use kmalloc rather than vmalloc to allocate it. This should cut down on the greater overheads associated with vmalloc for smaller directories. We may be able to eliminate vmalloc entirely at some stage, but this is easy to do right away. Also using GFP_NOFS to avoid any issues wrt to deleting inodes while under a glock, and suggestion from Linus to factor out the alloc/dealloc. I've given this a test with a variety of different sized directories and it seems to work ok.

2010-07-15GFS2: rename causes kernel OopsBob Peterson
This patch fixes a kernel Oops in the GFS2 rename code. The problem was in the way the gfs2 directory code was trying to re-use sentinel directory entries. In the failing case, gfs2's rename function was renaming a file to another name that had the same non-trivial length. The file being renamed happened to be the first directory entry on the leaf block. First, the rename code (gfs2_rename in ops_inode.c) found the original directory entry and decided it could do its job by simply replacing the directory entry with another. Therefore it determined correctly that no block allocations were needed. Next, the rename code deleted the old directory entry prior to replacing it with the new name. Therefore, the soon-to-be replaced directory entry was temporarily made into a directory entry "sentinel" or a place holder at the start of a leaf block. Lastly, it went to re-add the replacement directory entry in that leaf block. However, when gfs2_dirent_find_space was looking for space in the leaf block, it used the wrong value for the sentinel. That threw off its calculations so later it decides it can't really re-use the sentinel and therefore must allocate a new leaf block. But because it previously decided to re-use the directory entry, it didn't waste the time to grab a new block allocation for the inode. Therefore, the inode's i_alloc pointer was still NULL and it crashes trying to reference it. In the case of sentinel directory entries, the entire dirent is reused, not just the "free space" portion of it, and therefore the function gfs2_dirent_find_space should use the value 0 rather than GFS2_DIRENT_SIZE(0) for the actual dirent size. Fixing this calculation enables the reproducer programs to work properly. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
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>
2009-12-03GFS2: Remove dirent_first() functionSteven Whitehouse
This function only had one caller left, and that caller only called it for leaf blocks, hence one branch of the "if" was never taken. In addition the call to get_left had already verified the metadata type, so the function can be reduced to a single line of code in its caller. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-05-20GFS2: Improve resource group error handlingSteven Whitehouse
This patch improves the error handling in the case where we discover that the summary information in the resource group doesn't match the bitmap information while in the process of allocating blocks. Originally this resulted in a kernel bug, but this patch changes that so that we return -EIO and print some messages explaining what went wrong, and how to fix it. We also remember locally not to try and allocate from the same rgrp again, so that a subsequent allocation in a different rgrp should succeed. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@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>

2008-03-31[GFS2] Allow bmap to allocate extentsSteven Whitehouse
We've supported mapping of extents when no block allocation is required for some time. This patch extends that to mapping of extents when an allocation has been requested. In that case we try to allocate as many blocks as are requested, but we might return fewer in case there is something preventing us from returning the complete amount (e.g. an already allocated block is in the way). Currently the only code path which can actually request multiple data blocks in a single bmap call is the page_mkwrite path and even then it only happens if there are multiple blocks per page. What this patch does do however, is merge the allocation requests for metadata (growing the metadata tree in either height or depth) with the allocation of the data blocks in the case that both are needed. This results in lower overheads even in the single block allocation case. The one thing which we can't handle here at the moment is unstuffing. I would like to be able to do that, but the problem which arises is that in order to unstuff one has to get a locked page from the page cache which results in locking problems in the (usual) case that the caller is holding the page lock on the page it wishes to map. So that case will have to be addressed in future patches. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

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] Add extent allocation to block allocatorSteven Whitehouse
Rather than having to allocate a single block at a time, this patch allows the block allocator to allocate an extent. Since there is no difference (so far as the block allocator is concerned) between data blocks and indirect blocks, it is posible to allocate a single extent and for the caller to unrevoke just the blocks required for indirect blocks. Currently the only bit of GFS2 to make use of this feature is the build height function. The intention is that gfs2_block_map will be changed to make use of this feature in future patches.

2008-03-31[GFS2] Merge gfs2_alloc_meta and gfs2_alloc_dataSteven Whitehouse

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).

2008-03-31[GFS2] Shrink & rename di_depthSteven Whitehouse
This patch forms a pair with the previous patch which shrunk di_height. Like that patch di_depth is renamed i_depth and moved into struct gfs2_inode directly. Also the field goes from 16 bits to 8 bits since it is also limited to a max value which is rather small (17 in this case). In addition we also now validate the field against this maximum value when its read in. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2008-01-25[GFS2] Reduce inode size by moving i_alloc out of lineSteven Whitehouse
It is possible to reduce the size of GFS2 inodes by taking the i_alloc structure out of the gfs2_inode. This patch allocates the i_alloc structure whenever its needed, and frees it afterward. This decreases the amount of low memory we use at the expense of requiring a memory allocation for each page or partial page that we write. A quick test with postmark shows that the overhead is not measurable and I also note that OCFS2 use the same approach. In the future I'd like to solve the problem by shrinking down the size of the members of the i_alloc structure, but for now, this reduces the immediate problem of using too much low-memory on x86 and doesn't add too much overhead.

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] 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.

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>

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.

I was looking something else up and came across this... I don't honestly have a good reason to change it other than to make it like every other Linux filesystem in this regard. ;-) It doesn't functionally change anything, but makes some lines shorter. :) I'm also curious; why does gfs2 have 64-bits of on-disk timestamps, but not in timespec_t format, and only stores second resolutions?

2007-02-05[GFS2] Clean up/speed up readdirSteven Whitehouse
This removes the extra filldir callback which gfs2 was using to enclose an attempt at readahead for inodes during readdir. The code was too complicated and also hurts performance badly in the case that the getdents64/readdir call isn't being followed by stat() and it wasn't even getting it right all the time when it was. As a result, on my test box an "ls" of a directory containing 250000 files fell from about 7mins (freshly mounted, so nothing cached) to between about 15 to 25 seconds. When the directory content was cached, the time taken fell from about 3mins to about 4 or 5 seconds. Interestingly in the cached case, running "ls -l" once reduced the time taken for subsequent runs of "ls" to about 6 secs even without this patch. Now it turns out that there was a special case of glocks being used for prefetching the metadata, but because of the timeouts for these locks (set to 10 secs) the metadata was being timed out before it was being used and this the prefetch code was constantly trying to prefetch the same data over and over. Calling "ls -l" meant that the inodes were brought into memory and once the inodes are cached, the glocks are not disposed of until the inodes are pushed out of the cache, thus extending the lifetime of the glocks, and thus bringing down the time for subsequent runs of "ls" considerably.

When deleting directory entries, we set the inum.no_addr to zero in a dirent when its the first dirent in a block and thus cannot be merged into the previous dirent as is the usual case. In gfs1, inum.no_formal_ino was used instead. This patch changes gfs2 to set both inum.no_addr and inum.no_formal_ino to zero. It also changes the test from just looking at inum.no_addr to look at both inum.no_addr and inum.no_formal_ino and a sentinel is now considered to be a dirent in which _either_ (or both) of them is set to zero. This resolves Red Hat bugzillas: #215809, #211465 Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-11-30[GFS2] Remove gfs2_inode_attr_inSteven Whitehouse
This function wasn't really doing the right thing. There was no need to update the inode size at this point and the updating of the i_blocks field has now been moved to the places where di_blocks is updated. A result of this patch and some those preceeding it is that unlocking a glock is now a much more efficient process, since there is no longer any requirement to copy data from the gfs2 inode into the vfs inode at this point.

2006-11-30[GFS2] Shrink gfs2_inode (7) - di_payload_formatSteven Whitehouse
This is almost never used. Its there for backward compatibility with GFS1. It doesn't need its own field since it can always be calculated from the inode mode & flags. This saves a bit more space in the gfs2_inode. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-11-30[GFS2] Shrink gfs2_inode (6) - di_atime/di_mtime/di_ctimeSteven Whitehouse
Remove the di_[amc]time fields and use inode->i_[amc]time fields instead. This saves 24 bytes from the gfs2_inode. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-11-30[GFS2] Change argument of gfs2_dinode_outSteven Whitehouse
Everywhere this was called, a struct gfs2_inode was available, but despite that, it was always called with a struct gfs2_dinode as an argument. By making this change it paves the way to start eliminating fields duplicated between the kernel's struct inode and the struct gfs2_dinode. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
