2010-02-03GFS2: Extend umount wait coverage to full glock lifetimeSteven Whitehouse
Although all glocks are, by the time of the umount glock wait, scheduled for demotion, some of them haven't made it far enough through the process for the original set of waiting code to wait for them. This extends the ref count to the whole glock lifetime in order to ensure that the waiting does catch all glocks. It does make it a bit more invasive, but it seems the only sensible solution at the moment. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2010-02-03GFS2: Wait for unlock completion on umountSteven Whitehouse
This patch adds a wait on umount between the point at which we dispose of all glocks and the point at which we unmount the lock protocol. This ensures that we've received all the replies to our unlock requests before we stop the locking. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Reported-by: Fabio M.

2009-12-03GFS2: Display nobarrier option in /proc/mountsSteven Whitehouse

2009-12-03GFS2: add barrier/nobarrier mount optionsChristoph Hellwig
Currently gfs2 issues barrier unconditionally. There are various reasons to disable them, be that just for testing or for stupid devices flushing large battert backed caches. Add a nobarrier option that matches xfs and btrfs for this. Also add a symmetric barrier option to turn it back on at remount time.

2009-12-03GFS2: remove division from new statfs codeBenjamin Marzinski

2009-12-03GFS2: Improve statfs and quota usabilityBenjamin Marzinski
GFS2 now has three new mount options, statfs_quantum, quota_quantum and statfs_percent. statfs_quantum and quota_quantum simply allow you to set the tunables of the same name. Setting setting statfs_quantum to 0 will also turn on the statfs_slow tunable. statfs_percent accepts an integer between 0 and 100. Numbers between 1 and 100 will cause GFS2 to do any early sync when the local number of blocks free changes by at least statfs_percent from the totoal number of blocks free. Setting statfs_percent to 0 disables this. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-12-03GFS2: Alter arguments of gfs2_quota/statfs_syncSteven Whitehouse
These two functions are altered so that gfs2_quota_sync may in future be called directly from the VFS. The GFS2 superblock changes to a VFS super block and there is an addition of an int argument which is currently ignored. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-12-03GFS2: Fix -o meta mounts for subsequent mounts (i.e. all but the first one)Steven Whitehouse
We have a long term plan to use the "-o meta" flag to GFS2 mounts to access the alternate root which is used to store metadata for a GFS2 filesystem. This will allow us to eventually remove support for the gfs2meta filesystem type (which is in any case just a "front end" to the gfs2 filesystem type with the meta/master root). Currently the "-o meta" option is only taken into account on the initial mount of the filesystem. Subsequent mounts of the same filesystem (i.e. on the same device) result in basically the same as bind mounting the root of the original mount. This patch changes that by using what is more or less a copy of get_sb_bdev() and extending it so that it will take into account the alternate root in all cases. The main difference is that we have to parse the mount options a bit earlier. We can then use them to select the appropriate root towards the end of the function. In addition this also fixes a bug where it was possible (but certainly not desirable) to set different ro/rw options for the meta root when mounted via the gfs2meta fs compared with the original mount.

2009-09-08GFS2: Be extra careful about deallocating inodesSteven Whitehouse
There is a potential race in the inode deallocation code if two nodes try to deallocate the same inode at the same time. Most of the issue is solved by the iopen locking. There is still a small window which is not covered by the iopen lock. This patches fixes that and also makes the deallocation code more robust in the face of any errors in the rgrp bitmaps, or erroneous iopen callbacks from other nodes. This does introduce one extra disk read, but that is generally not an issue since its the same block that must be written to later in the deallocation process. The total disk accesses therefore stay the same, Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-08-27GFS2: Remove no_formal_ino generating codeSteven Whitehouse
The inum structure used throughout GFS2 has two fields. One no_addr is the disk block number of the inode in question and is used everywhere as the inode number. The other, no_formal_ino, is used only as the generation number for NFS. Historically the no_formal_ino field was set using a complicated system of one global and one per-node file containing inode numbers in order to ensure that each no_formal_ino was unique. Also this code made no provision for what would happen when eventually the (64 bit) numbers ran out. Now I know that is pretty unlikely to happen given the large space of numbers, but it is possible nevertheless. The only guarantee required for no_formal_ino is that, for any single inode, the same number doesn't get reused too quickly. We already have a generation number which is kept in the inode and initialised from a counter in the resource group (almost no overhead, since we have to touch the resource group anyway in order to allocate an inode in the first place). Aside from ensuring that we never use the value 0 in the no_formal_ino field, we can use that counter directly. As a result of that change, we lose about 200 lines of code and also gain about 10 creates/sec on the postmark benchmark (on my test machine). Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2009-08-24GFS2: Add "-o errors=panic|withdraw" mount optionsBob Peterson
This patch adds "-o errors=panic" and "-o errors=withdraw" to the gfs2 mount options. The "errors=withdraw" option is today's current behaviour, meaning to withdraw from the file system if a non-serious gfs2 error occurs. The new "errors=panic" option tells gfs2 to force a kernel panic if a non-serious gfs2 file system error occurs. This may be useful, for example, where fabric-level fencing is used that has no way to reboot (such as fence_scsi).

2009-08-17GFS2: Add online uevent to GFS2Steven Whitehouse
We already have an offline uevent (used when a withdraw occurs) but no online uevent. This adds an online uevent so that userspace will be able to detect a successful mount by means other than not receiving a remove event after the add & recovery (change) uevents. It has also been added to the remount path as well - we can't use a change uevent there as older GFS2 userspace acts on change uevents according to the state that it thinks the fs is in, so we can't easily add any new ones.

2009-07-30GFS2: remove dcache entries for remote deleted inodesBenjamin Marzinski
When a file is deleted from a gfs2 filesystem on one node, a dcache entry for it may still exist on other nodes in the cluster. If this happens, gfs2 will be unable to free this file on disk. Because of this, it's possible to have a gfs2 filesystem with no files on it and no free space. With this patch, when a node receives a callback notifying it that the file is being deleted on another node, it schedules a new workqueue thread to remove the file's dcache entry.

2009-07-30GFS2: keep statfs info in sync on growsBenjamin Marzinski
GFS2 wasn't syncing its statfs info on grows. This causes a problem when you grow the filesystem on multiple nodes. GFS2 would calculate the new space based on the resource groups (which are always current), and then assume that the filesystem had grown the from the existing statfs size. If you grew the filesystem on two different nodes in a short time, the second node wouldn't see the statfs size change from the first node, and would assume that it was grown by a larger amount than it was. When all these changes were synced out, the total fileystem size would be incorrect (the first grow would be counted twice). This patch syncs makes GFS2 read in the statfs changes from disk before a grow, and write them out after the grow, while the master statfs inode is locked.

2009-06-12push BKL down into ->put_superChristoph Hellwig
Move BKL into ->put_super from the only caller. A couple of filesystems had trivial enough ->put_super (only kfree and NULLing of s_fs_info + stuff in there) to not get any locking: coda, cramfs, efs, hugetlbfs, omfs, qnx4, shmem, all others got the full treatment. Most of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually. Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.

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.

2009-01-05Revert "GFS2: Fix use-after-free bug on umount"Steven Whitehouse
This reverts commit 78802499912f1ba31ce83a94c55b5a980f250a43. The original patch is causing problems in relation to order of operations at umount in relation to jdata files. I need to fix this a different way. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-01-05GFS2: Fix use-after-free bug on umountSteven Whitehouse
There was a use-after-free with the GFS2 super block during umount. This patch moves almost all of the umount code from ->put_super into ->kill_sb, the only bit that cannot be moved being the glock hash clearing which has to remain as ->put_super due to umount ordering requirements. As a result its now obvious that the kfree is the final operation, whereas before it was hidden in ->put_super. Also gfs2_jindex_free is then only referenced from a single file so thats moved and marked static too. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-01-05GFS2: Move four functions from super.cSteven Whitehouse

2009-01-05GFS2: Fix bug in gfs2_lock_fs_check_clean()Steven Whitehouse

2008-08-13GFS2: Fix metafs mountsSteven Whitehouse
This patch is intended to fix the issues reported in bz #457798. Instead of having the metafs as a separate filesystem, it becomes a second root of gfs2. As a result it will appear as type gfs2 in /proc/mounts, but it is still possible (for backwards compatibility purposes) to mount it as type gfs2meta. A new mount flag "meta" is introduced so that its possible to tell the two cases apart in /proc/mounts. As a result it becomes possible to mount type gfs2 with -o meta and get the same result as mounting type gfs2meta. So it is possible to mount just the metafs on its own. Currently if you do this, its then impossible to mount the "normal" root of the gfs2 filesystem without first unmounting the metafs root. I'm not sure if thats a feature or a bug :-) Either way, this is a great improvement on the previous scheme and I've verified that it works ok with bind mounts on both the "normal" root and the metafs root in various combinations. There were also a bunch of functions in super.c which didn't belong there, so this moves them into ops_fstype.c where they can be static. Hopefully the mount/umount sequence is now more obvious as a result. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Viro <aviro@redhat.com>

2008-06-27[GFS2] Clean up the glock coreSteven Whitehouse
This patch implements a number of cleanups to the core of the GFS2 glock code. As a result a lot of code is removed. It looks like a really big change, but actually a large part of this patch is either removing or moving existing code. There are some new bits too though, such as the new run_queue() function which is considerably streamlined. Highlights of this patch include: o Fixes a cluster coherency bug during SH -> EX lock conversions o Removes the "glmutex" code in favour of a single bit lock o Removes the ->go_xmote_bh() for inodes since it was duplicating ->go_lock() o We now only use the ->lm_lock() function for both locks and unlocks (i.e. unlock is a lock with target mode LM_ST_UNLOCKED) o The fast path is considerably shortly, giving performance gains especially with lock_nolock o The glock_workqueue is now used for all the callbacks from the DLM which allows us to simplify the lock_dlm module (see following patch) o The way is now open to make further changes such as eliminating the two threads (gfs2_glockd and gfs2_scand) in favour of a more efficient scheme. This patch has undergone extensive testing with various test suites so it should be pretty stable by now. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>

2008-03-31[GFS2] Streamline indirect pointer tree height calculationSteven Whitehouse
This patch improves the calculation of the tree height in order to reduce the number of operations which are carried out on each call to gfs2_block_map. In the common case, we now make a single comparison, rather than calculating the required tree height from scratch each time. Also in the case that the tree does need some extra height, we start from the current height rather from zero when we work out what the new height ought to be. In addition the di_height field is moved into the inode proper and reduced in size to a u8 since the value must be between 0 and GFS2_MAX_META_HEIGHT (10).

We only care about the content of the jindex in two cases, one is when we mount the fs and the other is when we need to recover another journal.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Remove useless i_cache from inodesSteven Whitehouse
The i_cache was designed to keep references to the indirect blocks used during block mapping so that they didn't have to be looked up continually. The idea failed because there are too many places where the i_cache needs to be freed, and this has in the past been the cause of many bugs. In addition there was no performance benefit being gained since the disk blocks in question were cached anyway. So this patch removes it in order to simplify the code to prepare for other changes which would otherwise have had to add further support for this feature.

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>

2007-02-05[GFS2] Remove local exclusive glock modeSteven Whitehouse
Here is a patch for GFS2 to remove the local exclusive flag. In the places it was used, mutex's are always held earlier in the call path, so it appears redundant in the LM_ST_SHARED case. Also, the GFS2 holders were setting local exclusive in any case where the requested lock was LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE. So the other places in the glock code where the flag was tested have been replaced with tests for the lock state being LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE in order to ensure the logic is the same as before (i.e. LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE is always locally exclusive as well as globally exclusive).

The "greedy" code was an attempt to retain glocks for a minimum length of time when they relate to mmap()ed files. The current implementation of this feature is not, however, ideal in that it required allocating memory in order to do this and its overly complicated. It also misses the mark by ignoring the other I/O operations which are just as likely to suffer from the same problem.
