* [PATCH 1/2] ocfs2: add flock lock typeMark Fasheh2008-01-251-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new dlmglue lock type which is intended to back flock() requests. Since these locks are driven from userspace, usage rules are much more liberal than the typical Ocfs2 internal cluster lock. As a result, we can't make use of most dlmglue features - lock caching and lock level optimizations in particular. Additionally, userspace is free to deadlock itself, so we have to deal with that in the same way as the rest of the kernel - by allowing a signal to abort a lock request. In order to keep ocfs2_cluster_lock() complexity down, ocfs2_file_lock() does it's own dlm coordination. We still use the same helper functions though, so duplicated code is kept to a minimum.

* ocfs2: Remove delete inode voteTiger Yang2007-04-261-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | Ocfs2 currently does cluster-wide node messaging to check the open state of an inode during delete. This patch removes that mechanism in favor of an inode cluster lock which is taken at shared read when an inode is first read and dropped in clear_inode(). This allows a deleting node to test the liveness of an inode by attempting to take an exclusive lock.

* ocfs2: Add new cluster lock typeMark Fasheh2006-09-241-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 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.
