2015-09-03gfs2: Make statistics unsigned, suitable for use with do_div()Ben Hutchings
None of these statistics can meaningfully be negative, and the numerator for do_div() must have the type u64. The generic implementation of do_div() used on some 32-bit architectures asserts that, resulting in a compiler error in gfs2_rgrp_congested(). Fixes: 0166b197c2ed ("GFS2: Average in only non-zero round-trip times ...")

2015-09-03GFS2: Move glock superblock pointer to field gl_nameBob Peterson
What uniquely identifies a glock in the glock hash table is not gl_name, but gl_name and its superblock pointer. This patch makes the gl_name field correspond to a unique glock identifier. That will allow us to simplify hashing with a future patch, since the hash algorithm can then take the gl_name and hash its components in one operation.

2013-04-10GFS2: Add origin indicator to glock demote tracingSteven Whitehouse
This adds the origin indicator to the trace point for glock demotion, so that it is possible to see where demote requests have come from. Note that requests generated from the demote_rq sysfs interface will show as remote, since they are intended to replicate exactly the effect of a demote reuqest from a remote node. It is still possible to tell these apart by looking at the process which initiated the demote request. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2012-11-16GFS2: don't reference inode's glock during block allocation traceBob Peterson
This patch changes the block allocation trace so that it references the rgd's glock rather than the inode's glock. Now that the order of inode creation is switched, this prevents a reference to the glock which may not be set yet.

2012-09-24GFS2: Improve block reservation tracingSteven Whitehouse
This patch improves the tracing of block reservations by removing some corner cases and also providing more useful detail in the traces. A new field is added to the reservation structure to contain the inode number. This is used since in certain contexts it is not possible to access the inode itself to obtain this information. As a result we can then display the inode number for all tracepoints and also in case we dump the resource group. The "del" tracepoint operation has been removed. This could be called with the reservation rgrp set to NULL. That resulted in not printing the device number, and thus making the information largely useless anyway. Also, the conditional on the rgrp being NULL can then be removed from the tracepoint. After this change, all the block reservation tracepoint calls will be called with the rgrp information. The existing ins,clm and tdel calls to the block reservation tracepoint are sufficient to track the entire life of the block reservation. In gfs2_block_alloc() the error detection is updated to print out the inode number of the problematic inode. This can then be compared against the information in the glock dump,tracepoints, etc. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2012-09-24GFS2: Add structure to contain rgrp, bitmap, offset tupleSteven Whitehouse
This patch introduces a new structure, gfs2_rbm, which is a tuple of a resource group, a bitmap within the resource group and an offset within that bitmap. This is designed to make manipulating these sets of variables easier. There is also a new helper function which converts this representation back to a disk block address. In addition, the rbtree nodes which are used for the reservations were not being correctly initialised, which is now fixed. Also, the tracing was not passing through the inode where it should have been. That is mostly fixed aside from one corner case. This needs to be revisited since there can also be a NULL rgrp in some cases which results in the device being incorrect in the trace. This is intended to be the first step towards cleaning up some of the allocation code, and some further bug fixes. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2012-07-19GFS2: Reduce file fragmentationBob Peterson
This patch reduces GFS2 file fragmentation by pre-reserving blocks. The resulting improved on disk layout greatly speeds up operations in cases which would have resulted in interlaced allocation of blocks previously. A typical example of this is 10 parallel dd processes, each writing to a file in a common dirctory. The implementation uses an rbtree of reservations attached to each resource group (and each inode).

2012-05-11GFS2: Add rgrp information to block_alloc trace pointBob Peterson
This is a second attempt at a patch that adds rgrp information to the block allocation trace point for GFS2. As suggested, the patch was modified to list the rgrp information _after_ the fields that exist today. Again, the reason for this patch is to allow us to trace and debug problems with the block reservations patch, which is still in the works. We can debug problems with reservations if we can see what block allocations result from the block reservations. It may also be handy in figuring out if there are problems in rgrp free space accounting. In other words, we can use it to track the rgrp and its free space along side the allocations that are taking place.

2012-02-28GFS2: glock statistics gatheringSteven Whitehouse
The stats are divided into two sets: those relating to the super block and those relating to an individual glock. The super block stats are done on a per cpu basis in order to try and reduce the overhead of gathering them. They are also further divided by glock type. In the case of both the super block and glock statistics, the same information is gathered in each case. The super block statistics are used to provide default values for most of the glock statistics, so that newly created glocks should have, as far as possible, a sensible starting point. The statistics are divided into three pairs of mean and variance, plus two counters. The mean/variance pairs are smoothed exponential estimates and the algorithm used is one which will be very familiar to those used to calculation of round trip times in network code. The three pairs of mean/variance measure the following things: 1. DLM lock time (non-blocking requests) 2. DLM lock time (blocking requests) 3. Inter-request time (again to the DLM) A non-blocking request is one which will complete right away, whatever the state of the DLM lock in question. That currently means any requests when (a) the current state of the lock is exclusive (b) the requested state is either null or unlocked or (c) the "try lock" flag is set. A blocking request covers all the other lock requests. There are two counters. The first is there primarily to show how many lock requests have been made, and thus how much data has gone into the mean/variance calculations. The other counter is counting queueing of holders at the top layer of the glock code. Hopefully that number will be a lot larger than the number of dlm lock requests issued. So why gather these statistics? There are several reasons we'd like to get a better idea of these timings: 1. To be able to better set the glock "min hold time" 2. To spot performance issues more easily 3. To improve the algorithm for selecting resource groups for allocation (to base it on lock wait time, rather than blindly using a "try lock") Due to the smoothing action of the updates, a step change in some input quantity being sampled will only fully be taken into account after 8 samples (or 4 for the variance) and this needs to be carefully considered when interpreting the results. Knowing both the time it takes a lock request to complete and the average time between lock requests for a glock means we can compute the total percentage of the time for which the node is able to use a glock vs. time that the rest of the cluster has its share. That will be very useful when setting the lock min hold time. The other point to remember is that all times are in nanoseconds. Great care has been taken to ensure that we measure exactly the quantities that we want, as accurately as possible. There are always inaccuracies in any measuring system, but I hope this is as accurate as we can reasonably make it. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2011-04-20GFS2: Improve tracing support (adds two flags)Steven Whitehouse
This adds support for two new flags. One keeps track of whether the glock is on the LRU list or not. The other isn't really a flag as such, but an indication of whether the glock has an attached object or not. This indication is reported without any locking, which is ok since we do not dereference the object pointer but merely report whether it is NULL or not. Also, this fixes one place where a tracepoint was missing, which was at the point we remove deallocated blocks from the journal. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2010-09-20GFS2: Don't enforce min hold time when two demotes occur in rapid successionSteven Whitehouse
Due to the design of the VFS, it is quite usual for operations on GFS2 to consist of a lookup (requiring a shared lock) followed by an operation requiring an exclusive lock. If a remote node has cached an exclusive lock, then it will receive two demote events in rapid succession firstly for a shared lock and then to unlocked. The existing min hold time code was triggering in this case, even if the node was otherwise idle since the state change time was being updated by the initial demote. This patch introduces logic to skip the min hold timer in the case that a "double demote" of this kind has occurred. The min hold timer will still be used in all other cases. A new glock flag is introduced which is used to keep track of whether there have been any newly queued holders since the last glock state change. The min hold time is only applied if the flag is set.

If TRACE_INCLDUE_FILE is defined, <trace/events/TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE.h> will be included and compiled, otherwise it will be <trace/events/TRACE_SYSTEM.h> So TRACE_SYSTEM should be defined outside of #if proctection, just like TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE.

2009-06-12GFS2: Add tracepointsSteven Whitehouse
This patch adds the ability to trace various aspects of the GFS2 filesystem. The trace points are divided into three groups, glocks, logging and bmap. These points have been chosen because they allow inspection of the major internal functions of GFS2 and they are also generic enough that they are unlikely to need any major changes as the filesystem evolves.
