2011-08-23block: separate priority boosting from REQ_METAChristoph Hellwig
Add a new REQ_PRIO to let requests preempt others in the cfq I/O schedule, and lave REQ_META purely for marking requests as metadata in blktrace. All existing callers of REQ_META except for XFS are updated to also set REQ_PRIO for now.

2011-07-25vfs: move ACL cache lookup into generic codeLinus Torvalds
This moves logic for checking the cached ACL values from low-level filesystems into generic code. The end result is a streamlined ACL check that doesn't need to load the inode->i_op->check_acl pointer at all for the common cached case. The filesystems also don't need to check for a non-blocking RCU walk case in their acl_check() functions, because that is all handled at a VFS layer.

2011-07-15GFS2: Cache dir hash table in a contiguous bufferSteven Whitehouse
This patch adds a cache for the hash table to the directory code in order to help simplify the way in which the hash table is accessed. This is intended to be a first step towards introducing some performance improvements in the directory code. There are two follow ups that I'm hoping to see fairly shortly. One is to simplify the hash table reading code now that we always read the complete hash table, whether we want one entry or all of them. The other is to introduce readahead on the heads of the hash chains which are referred to from the table. The hash table is a maximum of 128k in size, so it is not worth trying to read it in small chunks. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-07-14GFS2: Resolve inode eviction and ail list interaction bugSteven Whitehouse
This patch contains a few misc fixes which resolve a recently reported issue. This patch has been a real team effort and has received a lot of testing. The first issue is that the ail lock needs to be held over a few more operations. The lock thats added into gfs2_releasepage() may possibly be a candidate for replacing with RCU at some future point, but at this stage we've gone for the obvious fix. The second issue is that gfs2_write_inode() can end up calling a glock recursively when called from gfs2_evict_inode() via the syncing code, so it needs a guard added. The third issue is that we either need to not truncate the metadata pages of inodes which have zero link count, but which we cannot deallocate due to them still being in use by other nodes, or we need to ensure that those pages have all made it through the journal and ail lists first. This patch takes the former approach, but the latter has also been tested and there is nothing to choose between them performance-wise. So again, we could revise that decision in the future. Also, the inode eviction process is now better documented.

2011-07-12GFS2: Fix race during filesystem mountSteven Whitehouse
There is a potential race during filesystem mounting which has recently been reported. It occurs when the userland gfs_controld is able to process requests fast enough that it tries to use the sysfs interface before the lock module is properly initialised. This is a pretty unusual case as normally the lock module initialisation is very quick compared with gfs_controld. This patch adds an interruptible completion which is used to ensure that userland will wait for the initialisation of the lock module to complete. There are other potential solutions to this problem, but this is the quickest at this stage and has been tested both with and without mount.gfs2 present in the system.

2011-07-12GFS2: force a log flush when invalidating the rindex glockBenjamin Marzinski
Right now, there is nothing that forces the log to get flushed when a node drops its rindex glock so that another node can grow the filesystem. If the log doesn't get flushed, GFS2 can corrupt the sd_log_le_rg list in the following way. A node puts an rgd on the list in rg_lo_add(), and then the rindex glock is dropped so the other node can grow the filesystem. When the node reacquires the rindex glock, that rgd gets deleted in clear_rgrpdi() before ever being removed from the list by gfs2_log_flush(). This code simply forces a log flush when the rindex glock is invalidated, solving the problem.

2011-05-25GFS2: Processes waiting on inode glock that no processes are holdingBob Peterson
This patch fixes a race in the GFS2 glock state machine that may result in lockups. The symptom is that all nodes but one will hang, waiting for a particular glock. All the holder records will have the "W" (Waiting) bit set. The other node will typically have the glock stuck in Exclusive mode (EX) with no holder records, but the dinode will be cached. In other words, an entry with "I:" will appear in the glock dump for that glock, but nothing else. The race has to do with the glock "Pending Demote" bit, which can be set, then immediately reset, thus losing the fact that another node needs the glock. The sequence of events is: 1. Something schedules the glock workqueue (e.g. glock request from fs) 2. The glock workqueue gets to the point between the test of the reply pending bit and the spin lock: if (test_and_clear_bit(GLF_REPLY_PENDING, &gl->gl_flags)) { finish_xmote(gl, gl->gl_reply); drop_ref = 1; } down_read(&gfs2_umount_flush_sem); <---- i.e. here spin_lock(&gl->gl_spin); 3. In comes (a) the reply to our EX lock request setting GLF_REPLY_PENDING and (b) the demote request which sets GLF_PENDING_DEMOTE 4. The following test is executed: if (test_and_clear_bit(GLF_PENDING_DEMOTE, &gl->gl_flags) && gl->gl_state != LM_ST_UNLOCKED && gl->gl_demote_state != LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE) { This resets the pending demote flag, and gl->gl_demote_state is not equal to exclusive, however because the reply from the dlm arrived after we checked for the GLF_REPLY_PENDING flag, gl->gl_state is still equal to unlocked, so although we reset the GLF_PENDING_DEMOTE flag, we didn't then set the GLF_DEMOTE flag or reinstate the GLF_PENDING_DEMOTE_FLAG. The patch closes the timing window by only transitioning the "Pending demote" bit to the "demote" flag once we know the other conditions (not unlocked and not exclusive) are met.

2011-05-21GFS2: Wait properly when flushing the ail listSteven Whitehouse

2011-05-21GFS2: Wipe directory hash table metadata when deallocating a directorySteven Whitehouse
The deallocation code for directories in GFS2 is largely divided into two parts. The first part deallocates any directory leaf blocks and marks the directory as being a regular file when that is complete. The second stage was identical to deallocating regular files. Regular files have their data blocks in a different address space to directories, and thus what would have been normal data blocks in a regular file (the hash table in a GFS2 directory) were deallocated correctly. However, a reference to these blocks was left in the journal (assuming of course that some previous activity had resulted in those blocks being in the journal or ail list). This patch uses the i_depth as a test of whether the inode is an exhash directory (we cannot test the inode type as that has already been changed to a regular file at this stage in deallocation) The original issue was reported by Chris Hertel as an issue he encountered running bonnie++ Reported-by: Christopher R.

2011-05-09GFS2: Make gfs2_dir_del update link count when requiredSteven Whitehouse
When we remove an entry from a directory, we can save ourselves some trouble if we know the type of the entry in question, since if it is itself a directory, we can update the link count of the parent at the same time as removing the directory entry. In addition this patch also merges the rmdir and unlink code which was almost identical anyway. This eliminates the calls to remove the . and .. directory entries on each rmdir (not needed since the directory will be deallocated, anyway) which was the only thing preventing passing the dentry to gfs2_dir_del(). The passing of the dentry rather than just the name allows us to figure out the type of the entry which is being removed, and thus adjust the link count when required.
