| * GFS2: stuck in inode wait, no glocks stuckBob Peterson2010-05-121-48/+30

| * GFS2: glock livelockBob Peterson2010-04-141-15/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a couple gfs2 problems with the reclaiming of unlinked dinodes. First, there were a couple of livelocks where everything would come to a halt waiting for a glock that was seemingly held by a process that no longer existed. In fact, the process did exist, it just had the wrong pid number in the holder information. Second, there was a lock ordering problem between inode locking and glock locking. Third, glock/inode contention could sometimes cause inodes to be improperly marked invalid by iget_failed. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>

* GFS2: Don't withdraw on partial rindex entriesBenjamin Marzinski2010-02-011-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | ince gfs2 writes the rindex file a block at a time, and releases the exclusive lock after each block, it is possible that another process will grab the lock in the middle of the write. Since rindex entries are not an even divisor of blocks, that other process may see partial entries. On grows, this is fine. The process can simply ignore the the partial entires. Previously, the code withdrew when it saw partial entries. Now it simply ignores them. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | blk_ioctl_discard duplicates large amounts of code from blkdev_issue_discard, the only difference between the two is that blkdev_issue_discard needs to send a barrier discard request and blk_ioctl_discard a non-barrier one, and blk_ioctl_discard needs to wait on the request. To facilitates this add a flags argument to blkdev_issue_discard to control both aspects of the behaviour. This will be very useful later on for using the waiting funcitonality for other callers.

* | GFS2: Be extra careful about deallocating inodesSteven Whitehouse2009-09-081-1/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a potential race in the inode deallocation code if two nodes try to deallocate the same inode at the same time. Most of the issue is solved by the iopen locking. There is still a small window which is not covered by the iopen lock. This patches fixes that and also makes the deallocation code more robust in the face of any errors in the rgrp bitmaps, or erroneous iopen callbacks from other nodes. This does introduce one extra disk read, but that is generally not an issue since its the same block that must be written to later in the deallocation process. The total disk accesses therefore stay the same, Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* | GFS2: Remove no_formal_ino generating codeSteven Whitehouse2009-08-271-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The inum structure used throughout GFS2 has two fields. One no_addr is the disk block number of the inode in question and is used everywhere as the inode number. The other, no_formal_ino, is used only as the generation number for NFS. Historically the no_formal_ino field was set using a complicated system of one global and one per-node file containing inode numbers in order to ensure that each no_formal_ino was unique. Also this code made no provision for what would happen when eventually the (64 bit) numbers ran out. Now I know that is pretty unlikely to happen given the large space of numbers, but it is possible nevertheless. The only guarantee required for no_formal_ino is that, for any single inode, the same number doesn't get reused too quickly. We already have a generation number which is kept in the inode and initialised from a counter in the resource group (almost no overhead, since we have to touch the resource group anyway in order to allocate an inode in the first place). Aside from ensuring that we never use the value 0 in the no_formal_ino field, we can use that counter directly. As a result of that change, we lose about 200 lines of code and also gain about 10 creates/sec on the postmark benchmark (on my test machine). Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

* GFS2: Fix incorrent statfs consistency checkBenjamin Marzinski2009-07-301-11/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | Since both linked and unlinked inodes are counted by rgd->rd_dinodes, It makes no sense to count them with the used data blocks (first check that I changed), it makes sense to count them with the linked inodes (second check), and it makes no sense to care if there are more unlinked inodes than linked ones.

| | | | | | | | | | When searching for unlinked, but still allocated inodes during block allocation, avoid the block relating to the inode that is doing the allocation.

| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to trace various aspects of the GFS2 filesystem. The trace points are divided into three groups, glocks, logging and bmap. These points have been chosen because they allow inspection of the major internal functions of GFS2 and they are also generic enough that they are unlikely to need any major changes as the filesystem evolves.

| * block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_sizeMartin K. Petersen2009-05-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device. With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain 512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size and the logical ditto. This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

* | GFS2: Add a rgrp bitmap full flagSteven Whitehouse2009-05-211-30/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During block allocation, it is useful to know if sections of disk are full on a finer grained basis than a single resource group. This can make a performance difference when resource groups have larger numbers of bitmap blocks, since we no longer have to search them all block by block in each individual bitmap. The full flag is set on a per-bitmap basis when it has been searched and found to have no free space. It is then skipped in subsequent searches until the flag is reset. The resetting occurs if we have to drop the glock on the resource group for any reason, or if we deallocate some blocks within that resource group and thus free up some space.

* | GFS2: Improve resource group error handlingSteven Whitehouse2009-05-201-15/+43
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch improves the error handling in the case where we discover that the summary information in the resource group doesn't match the bitmap information while in the process of allocating blocks. Originally this resulted in a kernel bug, but this patch changes that so that we return -EIO and print some messages explaining what went wrong, and how to fix it. We also remember locally not to try and allocate from the same rgrp again, so that a subsequent allocation in a different rgrp should succeed. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* GFS2: Ensure that the inode goal block settings are updatedSteven Whitehouse2009-04-231-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GFS2 has a goal block associated with each inode indicating the search start position for future block allocations (in fact there are two, but thats for backward compatibility with GFS1 as they are set to identical locations in GFS2). In some circumstances, depending on the ordering of updates to the inode it was possible for the goal block settings to not be updated on disk. This patch ensures that the goal block will always get updated, thus reducing the potential for searching the same (already allocated) blocks again when looking for free space during block allocation.

* GFS2: Add a "demote a glock" interface to sysfsSteven Whitehouse2009-03-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a sysfs file called demote_rq to GFS2's per filesystem directory. Its possible to use this file to demote arbitrary glocks in exactly the same way as if a request had come in from a remote node. This is intended for testing issues relating to caching of data under glocks. Despite that, the interface is generic enough to send requests to any type of glock, but be careful as its not always safe to send an arbitrary message to an arbitrary glock. For that reason and to prevent DoS, this interface is restricted to root only. The messages look like this: <type>:<glocknumber> <mode> Example: echo -n "2:13324 EX" >/sys/fs/gfs2/unity:myfs/demote_rq Which means "please demote inode glock (type 2) number 13324 so that I can get an EX (exclusive) lock". The lock modes are those which would normally be sent by a remote node in its callback so if you want to unlock a glock, you use EX, to demote to shared, use SH or PR (depending on whether you like GFS2 or DLM lock modes better!). If the glock doesn't exist, you'll get -ENOENT returned. If the arguments don't make sense, you'll get -EINVAL returned. The plan is that this interface will be used in combination with the blktrace patch which I recently posted for comments although it is, of course, still useful in its own right.

* GFS2: Support generation of discard requestsSteven Whitehouse2009-03-241-0/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows GFS2 to generate discard requests for blocks which are no longer useful to the filesystem (i.e. those which have been freed as the result of an unlink operation). The requests are generated at the time which those blocks become available for reuse in the filesystem. In order to use this new feature, you have to specify the "discard" mount option. The code coalesces adjacent blocks into a single extent when generating the discard requests, thus generating the minimum number. If an error occurs when the request has been sent to the block device, then it will print a message and turn off the requests for that filesystem. If the problem is temporary, then you can use remount to turn the option back on again. There is also a nodiscard mount option so that you can use remount to turn discard requests off, if required.

* GFS2: Merge lock_dlm module into GFS2Steven Whitehouse2009-03-241-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the big patch that I've been working on for some time now. There are many reasons for wanting to make this change such as: o Reducing overhead by eliminating duplicated fields between structures o Simplifcation of the code (reduces the code size by a fair bit) o The locking interface is now the DLM interface itself as proposed some time ago. o Fewer lookups of glocks when processing replies from the DLM o Fewer memory allocations/deallocations for each glock o Scope to do further optimisations in the future (but this patch is more than big enough for now!) Please note that (a) this patch relates to the lock_dlm module and not the DLM itself, that is still a separate module; and (b) that we retain the ability to build GFS2 as a standalone single node filesystem with out requiring the DLM. This patch needs a lot of testing, hence my keeping it I restarted my -git tree after the last merge window. That way, this has the maximum exposure before its merged. This is (modulo a few minor bug fixes) the same patch that I've been posting on and off the the last three months and its passed a number of different tests so far.

* [GFS2] Replace rgrp "recent list" with mru listSteven Whitehouse2008-07-101-96/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the "recent list" which is used during allocation and replaces it with the (already existing) mru list used during deletion. The "recent list" was not a true mru list leading to a number of inefficiencies including a "next" function which made scanning the list an order N^2 operation wrt to the number of list elements. This should increase allocation performance with large numbers of rgrps. Its also a useful preparation and cleanup before some further changes which are planned in this area.

* [GFS2] Allow bmap to allocate extentsSteven Whitehouse2008-03-311-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've supported mapping of extents when no block allocation is required for some time. This patch extends that to mapping of extents when an allocation has been requested. In that case we try to allocate as many blocks as are requested, but we might return fewer in case there is something preventing us from returning the complete amount (e.g. an already allocated block is in the way). Currently the only code path which can actually request multiple data blocks in a single bmap call is the page_mkwrite path and even then it only happens if there are multiple blocks per page. What this patch does do however, is merge the allocation requests for metadata (growing the metadata tree in either height or depth) with the allocation of the data blocks in the case that both are needed. This results in lower overheads even in the single block allocation case. The one thing which we can't handle here at the moment is unstuffing. I would like to be able to do that, but the problem which arises is that in order to unstuff one has to get a locked page from the page cache which results in locking problems in the (usual) case that the caller is holding the page lock on the page it wishes to map. So that case will have to be addressed in future patches. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [GFS2] Add extent allocation to block allocatorSteven Whitehouse2008-03-311-37/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rather than having to allocate a single block at a time, this patch allows the block allocator to allocate an extent. Since there is no difference (so far as the block allocator is concerned) between data blocks and indirect blocks, it is posible to allocate a single extent and for the caller to unrevoke just the blocks required for indirect blocks. Currently the only bit of GFS2 to make use of this feature is the build height function. The intention is that gfs2_block_map will be changed to make use of this feature in future patches.

* [GFS2] Merge gfs2_alloc_meta and gfs2_alloc_dataSteven Whitehouse2008-03-311-48/+3
| | | | | | | | | Thanks to the preceeding patches, the only difference between these two functions is their name. We can thus merge them and call the new function gfs2_alloc_block to reflect the fact that it can allocate either kind of block. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [GFS2] Update gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke to accept extentsSteven Whitehouse2008-03-311-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By adding an extra argument to gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke we can now specify an extent length of blocks to unrevoke. This means that we only need to make one pass through the list for each extent rather than each block. Currently the only extent length which is used is 1, but that will change in the future. Also gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke is removed from gfs2_alloc_meta since its the only difference between this and gfs2_alloc_data which is left. This will allow a future patch to merge these two functions into one (i.e. one call to allocate both data and metadata in a single extent in the future).

* [GFS2] Merge the rd_last_alloc_meta and rd_last_alloc_data fieldsSteven Whitehouse2008-03-311-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | We don't need to keep track of when we last allocated data and metadata separately since the only thing thats important when searching for a free block is whether its free or not, which is independent from what type of block it is.

* [GFS2] Reduce inode size by merging fieldsSteven Whitehouse2008-03-311-23/+17
| | | | | | | | | | There were three fields being used to keep track of the location of the most recently allocated block for each inode. These have been merged into a single field in order to better keep the data and metadata for an inode close on disk, and also to reduce the space required for storage.

* [GFS2] Remove rgrp and glock version numbersBob Peterson2008-03-311-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | This patch further reduces GFS2's memory requirements by eliminating the 64-bit version number fields in lieu of a couple bits. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
