2007-02-12[PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 2Arjan van de Ven
Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

2007-02-06[GFS2] nfsd readdirplus assertion failureWendy Cheng
Glock assertion failure found in '07 NFS connectathon. One of the NFSDs is doing a "readdirplus" procedure call. It passes the logic into gfs2_readdir() where it obtains its directory inode glock. This is then followed by filehandle construction that invokes lookup code. It hits the assertion failure while trying to obtain the inode glock again inside gfs2_drevalidate().

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. To avoid this, this patch takes the log spinlock during this operation. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-02-05[GFS2] Fix recursive locking attempt with NFSSteven Whitehouse

2007-02-05[GFS2] use CURRENT_TIME_SEC instead of get_seconds in gfs2Eric Sandeen
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.

2007-02-05[GFS2] gfs2 knows of directories which it chooses not to displayRobert Peterson
This is for Red Hat bugzilla bug bz #222302: Moving a virtual IP from node to node between two NFS-over-GFS2 servers was causing one of the GFS2 servers to become confused and reference a deleted inode. The problem was due to vfs dentries that did not reference the gfs2_dops and therefore didn't call the gfs2 revalidate code to revalidate a dentry after a directory had been deleted & recreated. This patch is a crosswrite from a RHEL4 bug found in GFS1 as bz #190756 and it is against the latest -nmw git tree.

In case of unlinked files with dirty pages GFS2 wasn't clearing the pages in quite the right order.

2007-02-05[GFS2] Fix change nlink deadlockS. Wendy Cheng
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. This is the remaining part of the fix for Red Hat bugzilla #218966 which had not yet made it upstream.

2007-02-05[GFS2] Fix DIO deadlockSteven Whitehouse
This patch fixes Red Hat bugzilla #212627 in which a deadlock occurs due to trying to take the i_mutex while holding a glock. The correct locking order is defined as i_mutex -> glock in all cases. I've left dealing with allocating writes. I know that we need to do that, but for now this should do the trick. We don't need to take the i_mutex on write, because the VFS has already taken it for us. On read we don't need it since the glock is enough protection. The reason that I've made some of the checks into a separate function is that we'll need to do the checks again in the allocating write case eventually, so this is partly in preparation for this. Likewise the return value test of != 1 might look a bit odd and thats because we'll need a third return value in case of requiring an allocation. I've made the change to deferred mode on the glock to ensure flushing read caches on other nodes. I notice that (using blktrace to look at whats going on) we appear to do a better job of large I/Os than ext3 after this patch (in terms of not splitting up the I/Os).

The gfs2_fsync() function was doing a journal flush on each and every call. While this is correct, its also a lot of overhead. This patch means that on fdatasync flushes we rely on the VFS to flush the data for us and we don't do a journal flush unless we really need to. We have to do a journal flush for stuffed files though because they have the data and the inode metadata in the same block. Journaled files also need a journal flush too of course.

2006-11-30[GFS2] Mount problem with the GFS2 codeSrinivasa Ds
While mounting the gfs2 filesystem,our test team had a problem and we got this error message. ======================================================= GFS2: fsid=: Trying to join cluster "lock_nolock", "dasde1" GFS2: fsid=dasde1.0: Joined cluster. Now mounting FS... GFS2: not a GFS2 filesystem GFS2: fsid=dasde1.0: can't read superblock: -22 ========================================================================== On debugging further we found that problem is while reading the super block(gfs2_read_super) and comparing the magic number in it. When I replace the submit_bio() call(present in gfs2_read_super) with the sb_getblk() and ll_rw_block(), mount operation succeded. On further analysis we found that before calling submit_bio(), bio->bi_sector was set to "sector" variable. This "sector" variable has the same value of bh->b_blocknr(block number). Hence there is a need to multiply this valuwith (blocksize >> 9)(9 because,sector size 2^9,samething happens in ll_rw_block also, before calling submit_bio()). So I have developed the patch which solves this problem. Please let me know your comments. ================================================================ Signed-off-by: Srinivasa DS <srinivasa@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
