2008-01-25[PATCH 1/2] ocfs2: Add group extend for online resizeTao Ma
This patch adds the ability for a userspace program to request an extend of last cluster group on an Ocfs2 file system. The request is made via ioctl, OCFS2_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND. This is derived from EXT3_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND, but is obviously Ocfs2 specific. tunefs.ocfs2 would call this for an online-resize operation if the last cluster group isn't full.

2007-09-20ocfs2: Allow smaller allocations during large writesMark Fasheh
The ocfs2 write code loops through a page much like the block code, except that ocfs2 allocation units can be any size, including larger than page size. Typically it's equal to or larger than page size - most kernels run 4k pages, the minimum ocfs2 allocation (cluster) size. Some changes introduced during 2.6.23 changed the way writes to pages are handled, and inadvertantly broke support for > 4k page size. Instead of just writing one cluster at a time, we now handle the whole page in one pass. This means that multiple (small) seperate allocations might happen in the same pass. The allocation code howver typically optimizes by getting the maximum which was reserved. This triggered a BUG_ON in the extend code where it'd ask for a single bit (for one part of a > 4k page) and get back more than it asked for. Fix this by providing a variant of the high level allocation function which allows the caller to specify a maximum. The traditional function remains and just calls the new one with a maximum determined from the initial reservation. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

2007-07-10ocfs2: simplify deallocation lockingMark Fasheh
Deallocation of suballocator blocks, most notably extent blocks, might involve multiple suballocator inodes. The locking for this can get extremely complicated, especially when the suballocator inodes to delete from aren't known until deep within an unrelated codepath. Implement a simple scheme for recording the blocks to be unlinked so that the actual deallocation can be done in a context which won't deadlock. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2006-12-01ocfs2: Remove struct ocfs2_journal_handle in favor of handle_tMark Fasheh
This is mostly a search and replace as ocfs2_journal_handle is now no more than a container for a handle_t pointer. ocfs2_commit_trans() becomes very straight forward, and we remove some out of date comments / code. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2006-12-01ocfs2: don't use handle for locking in allocation functionsMark Fasheh
Instead we record our state on the allocation context structure which all callers already know about and lifetime correctly. This means the reservation functions don't need a handle passed in any more, and we can also take it off the alloc context. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2006-08-07ocfs2: allocation hintsMark Fasheh
Record the most recently used allocation group on the allocation context, so that subsequent allocations can attempt to optimize for contiguousness. Local alloc especially should benefit from this as the current chain search tends to let it spew across the disk. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
