2007-05-01[GFS2] fix bz 231369, gfs2 will oops if you specify an invalid mount optionJosef Whiter
If you specify an invalid mount option when trying to mount a gfs2 filesystem, gfs2 will oops. The attached patch resolves this problem. Signed-off-by: Josef Whiter <jwhiter@redhat.com> 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.

2007-03-07[GFS2] fix hangup when multiple processes are trying to write to the same fileJosef Whiter
This fixes a problem I encountered while running bonnie++. When you have one thread that opens a file and starts to write to it, and then another thread that tries to open and write to the same file, the second thread will loop forever trying to grab the inode lock for that inode. Basically we come in through generic_buffered_file_write, which calls gfs2_prepare_write, which then attempts to grab the glock. Because we don't own the lock, gfs2_prepare_write gets GLR_TRYFAILED, which returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE to generic_buffered_file_write. At this point generic_buffered_file_write loops around again and immediately retries the prepare_write. This means that the second process never gets off of the processor in order to allow the process that holds the lock to finish its work and let go of the lock. This patch makes gfs2_glock_nq schedule() if it gets back a GLR_TRYFAILED, which resolves this problem.

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 also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

2007-02-05[GFS2] Fix unlink deadlocksRussell Cattelan
Move the glock acquisition to outside of the transactions. Lock odering must be preserved in order to prevent ABBA deadlocks. The current gfs2_change_nlink code would tries to grab the glock after having started a transaction and thus is holding the log lock. This is inconsistent with other code paths in gfs that grab the resource group glock prior to staring a tranactions. One problem with this fix is that the resource group lock is always grabbed now even if the inode still has ref count and can not be marked for unlink.

2007-02-05[GFS2] Put back semaphore to avoid umount problemSteven Whitehouse
Dave Teigland fixed this bug a while back, but I managed to mistakenly remove the semaphore during later development. It is required to avoid the list of inodes changing during an invalidate_inodes call. I have made it an rwsem since the read side will be taken frequently during normal filesystem operation. The write site will only happen during umount of the file system. Also the bug only triggers when using the DLM lock manager and only then under certain conditions as its timing related.

2007-02-05[GFS2] Fix list corruption in lops.cSteven Whitehouse
The patch below appears to fix the list corruption that we are seeing on occasion. Although the transaction structure is private to a single thread, when the queued structures are dismantled during an in-core commit, its possible for a different thread to be trying to add the same structure to another, new, transaction at the same time.

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? Seems like you're halfway to sub-second resolutions already. I suppose if that gets implemented then all of the below should instead be CURRENT_TIME not CURRENT_TIME_SEC.

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 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).

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.

2007-02-05[GFS2] Add writepages for "data=writeback" mountsSteven Whitehouse
It occurred to me that although a gfs2 specific writepages for ordered writes and journaled data would be tricky, by hooking writepages only for "data=writeback" mounts we could take advantage of not needing buffer heads (we don't use them on the read side, nor have we for some time) and create much larger I/Os for the block layer. Using blktrace both before and after, its possible to see that for large I/Os, most of the requests generated through writepages are now 1024 sectors after this patch is applied as opposed to 8 sectors before.

Bugzilla 215088 Fix deadlock in gfs2_change_nlink() while installing RHEL5 into GFS2 partition. The gfs2_rename() apparently needs block allocation for the new name (into the directory) where it requires rg locks. At the same time, while updating the nlink count for the replaced file, gfs2_change_nlink() tries to return the inode meta-data back to resource group where it needs rg locks too. Our logic doesn't allow process to acquire these locks recursively by the same process (RHEL installer) that results a BUG call.

2007-02-05[GFS2] Fail over to readpage for stuffed filesSteven Whitehouse
This is partially derrived from a patch written by Russell Cattelan. It fixes a bug where there is a race between readpages and truncate by ignoring readpages for stuffed files. This is ok because a stuffed file will never be more than one block (minus sizeof(struct gfs2_dinode)) in size and block size is always less than page size, so we do not lose anything efficiency-wise by not doing readahead for stuffed files. They will have already been "read ahead" by the action of reading the inode in, in the first place.
