* ocfs2: Remove special casing for inode creation in ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock()Mark Fasheh2006-09-241-30/+9
| | | | | | | | We can't use LKM_LOCAL for new dentry locks because an unlink and subsequent re-create of a name/inode pair may result in the lock still being mastered somewhere in the cluster. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
* ocfs2: manually d_move() during ocfs2_rename()Mark Fasheh2006-09-241-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | Make use of FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE to avoid a race condition that can occur during ->rename() if we d_move() outside of the parent directory cluster locks, and another node discovers the new name (created during the rename) and unlinks it. d_move() will unconditionally rehash a dentry - which will leave stale data in the system.

* ocfs2: Add dentry tracking APIMark Fasheh2006-09-241-19/+356
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace the dentry vote mechanism with a cluster lock which covers a set of dentries. This allows us to force d_delete() only on nodes which actually care about an unlink. Every node that does a ->lookup() gets a read only lock on the dentry, until an unlink during which the unlinking node, will request an exclusive lock, forcing the other nodes who care about that dentry to d_delete() it. The effect is that we retain a very lightweight ->d_revalidate(), and at the same time get to make large improvements to the average case performance of the ocfs2 unlink and rename operations. This patch adds the higher level API and the dentry manipulation code. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
* ocfs2: Add new cluster lock typeMark Fasheh2006-09-241-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace the dentry vote mechanism with a cluster lock which covers a set of dentries.

The effect is that we retain a very lightweight ->d_revalidate(), and at the same time get to make large improvements to the average case performance of the ocfs2 unlink and rename operations. This patch adds the cluster lock type which OCFS2 can attach to dentries. A small number of fs/ocfs2/dcache.c functions are stubbed out so that this change can compile.
