* [GFS2] Change ondisk format (hopefully for the last time)Steven Whitehouse2006-02-131-21/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There were one or two fields in structures which didn't get changed last time back to their gfs1 sizes and alignments. One or two constants have also changed back to their original values which were missed the first time. Its possible that indirect pointer blocks might need to change. If they don't we'll have to rewrite them all on upgrade due to a change in the amount of padding that they use. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [GFS2] Make journaled data files identical to normal files on diskSteven Whitehouse2006-02-081-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a very large patch, with a few still to be resolved issues so you might want to check out the previous head of the tree since this is known to be unstable. Fixes for the various bugs will be forthcoming shortly. This patch removes the special data format which has been used up till now for journaled data files. Directories still retain the old format so that they will remain on disk compatible with earlier releases. As a result you can now do the following with journaled data files: 1) mmap them 2) export them over NFS 3) convert to/from normal files whenever you want to (the zero length restriction is gone) In addition the level at which GFS' locking is done has changed for all files (since they all now use the page cache) such that the locking is done at the page cache level rather than the level of the fs operations. This should mean that things like loopback mounts and other things which touch the page cache directly should now work. Current known issues: 1. There is a lock mode inversion problem related to the resource group hold function which needs to be resolved. 2. Any significant amount of I/O causes an oops with an offset of hex 320 (NULL pointer dereference) which appears to be related to a journaled data buffer appearing on a list where it shouldn't be. 3. Direct I/O writes are disabled for the time being (will reappear later) 4. There is probably a deadlock between the page lock and GFS' locks under certain combinations of mmap and fs operation I/O. 5. Issue relating to ref counting on internally used inodes causes a hang on umount (discovered before this patch, and not fixed by it) 6. One part of the directory metadata is different from GFS1 and will need to be resolved before next release. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [GFS2] Update init_dinode() to reduce stack usageSteven Whitehouse2006-01-181-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | We no longer allocate a dinode on the stack in init_dinode() and we no longer use gfs2_dinode_out (eliminating one copy) and gfs2_meta_header_in (eliminating another copy). The meta_header_in fucntion is now no longer referenced from outside gfs2_ondisk.c, so make it static. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
