2009-06-08xfs: kill xfs_qmopsChristoph Hellwig
Kill the quota ops function vector and replace it with direct calls or stubs in the CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA=n case. Make sure we check XFS_IS_QUOTA_RUNNING in the right spots. We can remove the number of those checks because the XFS_TRANS_DQ_DIRTY flag can't be set otherwise. This brings us back closer to the way this code worked in IRIX and earlier Linux versions, but we keep a lot of the more useful factoring of common code. Eventually we should also kill xfs_qm_bhv.c, but that's left for a later patch. Reduces the size of the source code by about 250 lines and the size of XFS module by about 1.5 kilobytes with quotas enabled: text data bss dec hex filename 615957 2960 3848 622765 980ad fs/xfs/xfs.o 617231 3152 3848 624231 98667 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old Fallout: - xfs_qm_dqattach is split into xfs_qm_dqattach_locked which expects the inode locked and xfs_qm_dqattach which does the locking around it, thus removing XFS_QMOPT_ILOCKED.

2009-04-06xfs: use xfs_sync_inodes() for device flushingDave Chinner
Currently xfs_device_flush calls sync_blockdev() which is a no-op for XFS as all it's metadata is held in a different address to the one sync_blockdev() works on. Call xfs_sync_inodes() instead to flush all the delayed allocation blocks out. To do this as efficiently as possible, do it via two passes - one to do an async flush of all the dirty blocks and a second to wait for all the IO to complete. This requires some modification to the xfs-sync_inodes_ag() flush code to do efficiently. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
2009-03-29xfs: remove m_attroffsetChristoph Hellwig
With the upcoming v3 inodes the default attroffset needs to be calculated for each specific inode, so we can't cache it in the superblock anymore. Also replace the assert for wrong inode sizes with a proper error check also included in non-debug builds. Note that the ENOSYS return for that might seem odd, but that error is returned by xfs_mount_validate_sb for all theoretically valid but not supported filesystem geometries.

2009-01-19xfs: fix bad_features2 fixups for the root filesystemChristoph Hellwig
Currently the bad_features2 fixup and the alignment updates in the superblock are skipped if we mount a filesystem read-only. But for the root filesystem the typical case is to mount read-only first and only later remount writeable so we'll never perform this update at all. It's not a big problem but means the logs of people needing the fixup get spammed at every boot because they never happen on disk.

Here we also kill various macros dealing with them and inline the logic into the get_minrecs / get_maxrecs / get_dmaxrecs methods in xfs_bmap_btree.c. Note that all these new helpers take an xfs_mount * argument which will be needed to determine the size of a btree block once we add support for extended btree blocks with CRCs and other RAS information.

2008-07-28[XFS] Name operation vector for hash and compareBarry Naujok
Adds two pieces of functionality for the basis of case-insensitive support in XFS: 1. A comparison result enumerated type: xfs_dacmp. It represents an exact match, case-insensitive match or no match at all. This patch only implements different and exact results. 2. xfs_nameops vector for specifying how to perform the hash generation of filenames and comparision methods. In this patch the hash vector points to the existing xfs_da_hashname function and the comparison method does a length compare, and if the same, does a memcmp and return the xfs_dacmp result. All filename functions that use the hash (create, lookup remove, rename, etc) now use the xfs_nameops.hashname function and all directory lookup functions also use the xfs_nameops.compname function. The lookup functions also handle case-insensitive results even though the default comparison function cannot return that. And important aspect of the lookup functions is that an exact match always has precedence over a case-insensitive. So while a case-insensitive match is found, we have to keep looking just in case there is an exact match. In the meantime, the info for the first case-insensitive match is retained if no exact match is found.

2008-02-28[XFS] If you mount an XFS filesystem with no mount options at all, thenJosef Jeff Sipek
the "ikeep" option is set rather than "noikeep". This regression was introduced in 970451. With no mount options specified, xfs_parseargs() does the following: int ikeep = 0; args->flags |= XFSMNT_BARRIER; args->flags2 |= XFSMNT2_COMPAT_IOSIZE; if (!options) goto done; It only sets the above two options by default and before, it also used to set XFSMNT_IDELETE by default. If options are specified, then if (!(args->flags & XFSMNT_DMAPI) && !ikeep) args->flags |= XFSMNT_IDELETE; is executed later on which is skipped by the "goto done;" above. The solution is to invert the logic.

2008-02-07[XFS] Move AIL pushing into it's own threadDavid Chinner
When many hundreds to thousands of threads all try to do simultaneous transactions and the log is in a tail-pushing situation (i.e. full), we can get multiple threads walking the AIL list and contending on the AIL lock. The AIL push is, in effect, a simple I/O dispatch algorithm complicated by the ordering constraints placed on it by the transaction subsystem. It really does not need multiple threads to push on it - even when only a single CPU is pushing the AIL, it can push the I/O out far faster that pretty much any disk subsystem can handle. So, to avoid contention problems stemming from multiple list walkers, move the list walk off into another thread and simply provide a "target" to push to. When a thread requires a push, it sets the target and wakes the push thread, then goes to sleep waiting for the required amount of space to become available in the log. This mechanism should also be a lot fairer under heavy load as the waiters will queue in arrival order, rather than queuing in "who completed a push first" order. Also, by moving the pushing to a separate thread we can do more effectively overload detection and prevention as we can keep context from loop iteration to loop iteration. That is, we can push only part of the list each loop and not have to loop back to the start of the list every time we run. This should also help by reducing the number of items we try to lock and/or push items that we cannot move. Note that this patch is not intended to solve the inefficiencies in the AIL structure and the associated issues with extremely large list contents. That needs to be addresses separately; parallel access would cause problems to any new structure as well, so I'm only aiming to isolate the structure from unbounded parallelism here.

xfs_iocore_t is a structure embedded in xfs_inode. Except for one field it just duplicates fields already in xfs_inode, and there is nothing this abstraction buys us on XFS/Linux. This patch removes it and shrinks source and binary size of xfs aswell as shrinking the size of xfs_inode by 60/44 bytes in debug/non-debug builds.

2008-02-07[XFS] kill unnessecary ioops indirectionLachlan McIlroy
Currently there is an indirection called ioops in the XFS data I/O path. Various functions are called by functions pointers, but there is no coherence in what this is for, and of course for XFS itself it's entirely unused. This patch removes it instead and significantly reduces source and binary size of XFS while making maintaince easier.
