2007-07-09[GFS2] assertion failure after writing to journaled file, umountRobert Peterson
This patch passes all my nasty tests that were causing the code to fail under one circumstance or another. Here is a complete summary of all changes from today's git tree, in order of appearance: 1. There are now separate variables for metadata buffer accounting. 2. Variable sd_log_num_hdrs is no longer needed, since the header accounting is taken care of by the reserve/refund sequence. 3. Fixed a tiny grammatical problem in a comment. 4. Added a new function "calc_reserved" to calculate the reserved log space. This isn't entirely necessary, but it has two benefits: First, it simplifies the gfs2_log_refund function greatly. Second, it allows for easier debugging because I could sprinkle the code with calls to this function to make sure the accounting is proper (by adding asserts and printks) at strategic point of the code. 5. In log_pull_tail there apparently was a kludge to fix up the accounting based on a "pull" parameter. The buffer accounting is now done properly, so the kludge was removed. 6. File sync operations were making a call to gfs2_log_flush that writes another journal header. Since that header was unplanned for (reserved) by the reserve/refund sequence, the free space had to be decremented so that when log_pull_tail gets called, the free space is be adjusted properly. (Did I hear you call that a kludge? well, maybe, but a lot more justifiable than the one I removed). 7. In the gfs2_log_shutdown code, it optionally syncs the log by specifying the PULL parameter to log_write_header. I'm not sure this is necessary anymore. It just seems to me there could be cases where shutdown is called while there are outstanding log buffers. 8. In the (data)buf_lo_before_commit functions, I changed some offset values from being calculated on the fly to being constants. That simplified some code and we might as well let the compiler do the calculation once rather than redoing those cycles at run time. 9. This version has my rewritten databuf_lo_add function. This version is much more like its predecessor, buf_lo_add, which makes it easier to understand. Again, this might not be necessary, but it seems as if this one works as well as the previous one, maybe even better, so I decided to leave it in. 10. In databuf_lo_before_commit, a previous data corruption problem was caused by going off the end of the buffer. The proper solution is to have the proper limit in place, rather than stopping earlier. (Thus my previous attempt to fix it is wrong). If you don't wrap the buffer, you're stopping too early and that causes more log buffer accounting problems. 11. In lops.h there are two new (previously mentioned) constants for figuring out the data offset for the journal buffers. 12. There are also two new functions, buf_limit and databuf_limit to calculate how many entries will fit in the buffer. 13. In function gfs2_meta_wipe, it needs to distinguish between pinned metadata buffers and journaled data buffers for proper journal buffer accounting. It can't use the JDATA gfs2_inode flag because it's sometimes passed the "real" inode and sometimes the "metadata inode" and the inode flags will be random bits in a metadata gfs2_inode. It needs to base its decision on which was passed in. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-07-09[GFS2] Recovery for lost unlinked inodesSteven Whitehouse
Under certain circumstances its possible (though rather unlikely) that inodes which were unlinked by one node while still open on another might get "lost" in the sense that they don't get deallocated if the node which held the inode open crashed before it was unlinked. This patch adds the recovery code which allows automatic deallocation of the inode if its found during block allocation (the sensible time to look for such inodes since we are scanning the rgrp's bitmaps anyway at this time, so it adds no overhead to do this). Since the inode will have had its i_nlink set to zero, all we need to trigger recovery is a lookup and an iput(), and the normal deallocation code takes care of the rest.

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>
2007-05-01[GFS2] lockdump improvementsRobert Peterson
The patch below consists of the following changes (in code order): 1. I fixed a minor compiler warning regarding the printing of a kernel symbol address. 2. I implemented a suggestion from Dave Teigland that moves the debugfs information for gfs2 into a subdirectory so we can easily expand our use of debugfs in the future. The current code keeps the glock information in: /debug/gfs2/<fs> With the patch, the new code keeps the glock information in: /debug/gfs2/<fs>/glock That will allow us to create more debugfs files in the future. 3. This fixes a bug whereby a failed mount attempt causes the debugfs file to not be deleted. Failed mount attempts should always clean up after themselves, including deleting the debugfs file and/or directory.

2007-05-01[GFS2] Red Hat bz 228540: owner referencesRobert Peterson
In Testing the previously posted and accepted patch for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228540 I uncovered some gfs2 badness. It turns out that the current gfs2 code saves off a process pointer when glocks is taken in both the glock and glock holder structures. Those structures will persist in memory long after the process has ended; pointers to poisoned memory. This problem isn't caused by the 228540 fix; the new capability introduced by the fix just uncovered the problem. I wrote this patch that avoids saving process pointers and instead saves off the process pid. Rather than referencing the bad pointers, it now does process lookups. There is special code that makes the output nicer for printing holder information for processes that have ended. This patch also adds a stub for the new "sprint_symbol" function that exists in Andrew Morton's -mm patch set, but won't go into the base kernel until 2.6.22, since it adds functionality but doesn't fix a bug.

2007-05-01[GFS2] Fix bz 224480 and cleanup glock demotion codeSteven Whitehouse
This patch prevents the printing of a warning message in cases where the fs is functioning normally by handing off responsibility for unlinked, but still open inodes, to another node for eventual deallocation. Also, there is now an improved system for ensuring that such requests to other nodes do not get lost. The callback on the iopen lock is only ever called when i_nlink == 0 and when a node is unable to deallocate it due to it still being in use on another node. When a node receives the callback therefore, it knows that i_nlink must be zero, so we mark it as such (in gfs2_drop_inode) in order that it will then attempt deallocation of the inode itself. As an additional benefit, queuing a demote request no longer requires a memory allocation. This simplifies the code for dealing with gfs2_holders as it removes one special case. There are two new fields in struct gfs2_glock. gl_demote_state is the state which the remote node has requested and gl_demote_time is the time when the request came in. Both fields are only valid when the GLF_DEMOTE flag is set in gl_flags. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-05-01[GFS2] Add gfs2_tool lockdump support to gfs2 (bz 228540)Robert Peterson
The attached patch resolves bz 228540. This adds the capability for gfs2 to dump gfs2 locks through the debugfs file system. This used to exist in gfs1 as "gfs_tool lockdump" but it's missing from gfs2 because all the ioctls were stripped out. Please see the bugzilla for more history about the fix. This patch is also attached to the bugzilla record. The patch is against Steve Whitehouse's latest nmw git tree kernel (2.6.21-rc1) and has been tested on system trin-10.

2007-02-05[GFS2] Tidy up glops callsSteven Whitehouse
This patch doesn't make any changes to the ordering of the various operations related to glocking, but it does tidy up the calls to the glops.c functions to make the structure more obvious. The two functions: gfs2_glock_xmote_th() and gfs2_glock_drop_th() can be made static within glock.c since they are called by every set of glock operations. The xmote_th and drop_th glock operations are then made conditional upon those two routines existing and called from the previously mentioned functions in glock.c respectively. Also it can be seen that the go_sync operation isn't needed since it can easily be replaced by calls to xmote_bh and drop_bh respectively. This results in no longer (confusingly) calling back into routines in glock.c from glops.c and also reducing the glock operations by one member. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2007-02-05[GFS2] Remove the "greedy" function from glock.[ch]Steven Whitehouse
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. So the plan is to remove this now and then add the functionality back as part of the glock state machine at a later date (and thus take into account all the possible users of this feature) Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-02-05[GFS2] Shrink gfs2_inode memory by halfSteven Whitehouse
Here is something I spotted (while looking for something entirely different) the other day. Rather than using a completion in each and every struct gfs2_holder, this removes it in favour of hashed wait queues, thus saving a considerable amount of memory both on the stack (where a number of gfs2_holder structures are allocated) and in particular in the gfs2_inode which has 8 gfs2_holder structures embedded within it. As a result on x86_64 the gfs2_inode shrinks from 2488 bytes to 1912 bytes, a saving of 576 bytes per inode (no thats not a typo!). In actual practice we get a much better result than that since now that a gfs2_inode is under the 2048 byte barrier, we get two per 4k slab page effectively halving the amount of memory required to store gfs2_inodes.

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.

2006-11-30[GFS2] Simplify glops functionsSteven Whitehouse
The go_sync callback took two flags, but one of them was set on every call, so this patch removes once of the flags and makes the previously conditional operations (on this flag), unconditional. The go_inval callback took three flags, each of which was set on every call to it. This patch removes the flags and makes the operations unconditional, which makes the logic rather more obvious.

2006-09-21[GFS2] Tidy up meta_io codeSteven Whitehouse
Fix a bug in the directory reading code, where we might have dereferenced a NULL pointer in case of OOM. Updated the directory code to use the new & improved version of gfs2_meta_ra() which now returns the first block that was being read. Previously it was releasing it requiring following code to grab the block again at each point it was called. Also turned off readahead on directory lookups since we are reading a hash table, and therefore reading the entries in order is very unlikely. Readahead is still used for all other calls to the directory reading function (e.g. when growing the hash table). Removed the DIO_START constant. Everywhere this was used, it was used to unconditionally start i/o aside from a couple of places, so I've removed it and made the couple of exceptions to this rule into separate functions. Also hunted through the other DIO flags and removed them as arguments from functions which were always called with the same combination of arguments. Updated gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer to be a bit more efficient and hopefully also be a bit easier to read. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2006-09-12[GFS2] Use hlist for glock hash chainsSteven Whitehouse
This results in smaller list heads, so that we can have more chains in the same amount of memory (twice as many). I've multiplied the size of the table by four though - this is because we are saving memory by not having one lock per chain any more. So we land up using about the same amount of memory for the hash table as we did before I started these changes, the difference being that we now have four times as many hash chains. The reason that I say "about the same amount of memory" is that the actual amount now depends upon the NR_CPUS and some of the config variables, so that its not exact and in some cases we do use more memory. Eventually we might want to scale the hash table size according to the size of physical ram as measured on module load. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-09-11[GFS2] Rewrite of examine_bucket()Steven Whitehouse
The existing implementation of this function in glock.c was not very efficient as it relied upon keeping a cursor element upon the hash chain in question and moving it along. This new version improves upon this by using the current element as a cursor. This is possible since we only look at the "next" element in the list after we've taken the read_lock() subsequent to calling the examiner function. Obviously we have to eventually drop the ref count that we are then left with and we cannot do that while holding the read_lock, so we do that next time we drop the lock. That means either just before we examine another glock, or when the loop has terminated. The new implementation has several advantages: it uses only a read_lock() rather than a write_lock(), so it can run simnultaneously with other code, it doesn't need a "plug" element, so that it removes a test not only from this list iterator, but from all the other glock list iterators too. So it makes things faster and smaller. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2006-09-08[GFS2] Move rwlocks in glock.c into their own arraySteven Whitehouse
This splits the rwlocks guarding the hash chains of the glock hash table into their own array. This will reduce memory usage in some cases due to better alignment, although the real reason for doing it is to allow the two tables to be different sizes in future (i.e. the locks will be sized proportionally with the max number of CPUs and the hash chains sized proportinally with the size of physical memory) In order to allow this, the gl_bucket member of struct gfs2_glock has now become gl_hash, so we record the hash rather than a pointer to the bucket itself.

As per comments from Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> this updates the copyright message to say "version" in full rather than "v.2". Also incore.h has been updated to remove forward structure declarations which are not required. The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added to it. Also quota.c has been updated so that we now store the lvb data locally in endian independant format to avoid needing a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess conversions are done as required at various points and thus the conversion routines in lvb.[ch] are no longer required. I've moved the one remaining constant in lvb.h thats used into lm.h and removed the unused lvb.[ch]. I have not changed the HIF_ constants.

2006-06-14[GFS2] Fix unlinked file handlingSteven Whitehouse
This patch fixes the way we have been dealing with unlinked, but still open files. It removes all limits (other than memory for inodes, as per every other filesystem) on numbers of these which we can support on GFS2. It also means that (like other fs) its the responsibility of the last process to close the file to deallocate the storage, rather than the person who did the unlinking. Note that with GFS2, those two events might take place on different nodes. Also there are a number of other changes: o We use the Linux inode subsystem as it was intended to be used, wrt allocating GFS2 inodes o The Linux inode cache is now the point which we use for local enforcement of only holding one copy of the inode in core at once (previous to this we used the glock layer). o We no longer use the unlinked "special" file. We just ignore it completely. This makes unlinking more efficient. o We now use the 4th block allocation state. The previously unused state is used to track unlinked but still open inodes. o gfs2_inoded is no longer needed o Several fields are now no longer needed (and removed) from the in core struct gfs2_inode o Several fields are no longer needed (and removed) from the in core superblock There are a number of future possible optimisations and clean ups which have been made possible by this patch.

2006-06-06[GFS2] Move some fields around to reduce wasted spaceSteven Whitehouse
We can reclaim some space by moving fields in some structures in order to allow them to pack better on 64 bit architectures. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-05-18[GFS2] glock debugging and inode cache changesSteven Whitehouse
This adds some extra debugging to glock.c and changes inode.c's deallocation code to call the debugging code at a suitable moment. I'm chasing down a particular bug to do with deallocation at the moment and the code can go again once the bug is fixed. Also this includes the first part of some changes to unify the Linux struct inode and GFS2's struct gfs2_inode. This transformation will happen in small parts over the next short period.

2006-04-26[GFS2] Don't do recursive locking in glock layerSteven Whitehouse
This patch changes the last user of recursive locking so that it no longer needs this feature and removes it from the glock layer. This makes the glock code a lot simpler and easier to understand. Its also a prerequsite to adding support for the AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE return code (or at least it is if you don't want your brain to melt in the process) I've left in a couple of checks just in case there is some place else in the code which is still using this feature that I didn't spot yet, but they can probably be removed long term.
