2021-05-20gfs2: Clean up revokes on normal withdrawsBob Peterson1-0/+1
Before this patch, the system ail lists were cleaned up if the logd process withdrew, but on other withdraws, they were not cleaned up. This included the cleaning up of the revokes as well. This patch reorganizes things a bit so that all withdraws (not just logd) clean up the ail lists, including any pending revokes.

2021-02-22gfs2: Per-revoke accounting in transactionsAndreas Gruenbacher1-1/+5
In the log, revokes are stored as a revoke descriptor (struct gfs2_log_descriptor), followed by zero or more additional revoke blocks (struct gfs2_meta_header). On filesystems with a blocksize of 4k, the revoke descriptor contains up to 503 revokes, and the metadata blocks contain up to 509 revokes each. We've so far been reserving space for revokes in transactions in block granularity, so a lot more space than necessary was being allocated and then released again. This patch switches to assigning revokes to transactions individually instead. Initially, space for the revoke descriptor is reserved and handed out to transactions. When more revokes than that are reserved, additional revoke blocks are added. When the log is flushed, the space for the additional revoke blocks is released, but we keep the space for the revoke descriptor block allocated. Transactions may still reserve more revokes than they will actually need in the end, but now we won't overshoot the target as much, and by only returning the space for excess revokes at log flush time, we further reduce the amount of contention between processes.

2021-02-22gfs2: Rework the log space allocation logicAndreas Gruenbacher1-0/+7
The current log space allocation logic is hard to understand or extend. The principle it that when the log is flushed, we may or may not have a transaction active that has space allocated in the log. To deal with that, we set aside a magical number of blocks to be used in case we don't have an active transaction. It isn't clear that the pool will always be big enough. In addition, we can't return unused log space at the end of a transaction, so the number of blocks allocated must exactly match the number of blocks used. Simplify this as follows: * When transactions are allocated or merged, always reserve enough blocks to flush the transaction (err on the safe side). * In gfs2_log_flush, return any allocated blocks that haven't been used. * Maintain a pool of spare blocks big enough to do one log flush, as before. * In gfs2_log_flush, when we have no active transaction, allocate a suitable number of blocks. For that, use the spare pool when called from logd, and leave the pool alone otherwise. This means that when the log is almost full, logd will still be able to do one more log flush, which will result in more log space becoming available. This will make the log space allocator code easier to work with in the future. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>
2021-02-03gfs2: Get rid of current_tail()Andreas Gruenbacher1-1/+3

2021-02-03gfs2: Move lock flush locking to gfs2_trans_{begin,end}Andreas Gruenbacher1-1/+1
Move the read locking of sd_log_flush_lock from gfs2_log_reserve to gfs2_trans_begin, and its unlocking from gfs2_log_release to gfs2_trans_end. Use gfs2_log_release in two places in which it was open coded before. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>
2021-02-03gfs2: Get rid of sd_reserving_logAndreas Gruenbacher1-0/+1
This counter and the associated wait queue are only used so that gfs2_make_fs_ro can efficiently wait for all pending log space allocations to fail after setting the filesystem to read-only. This comes at the cost of waking up that wait queue very frequently. Instead, when gfs2_log_reserve fails because the filesystem has become read-only, Wake up sd_log_waitq. In gfs2_make_fs_ro, set the file system read-only and then wait until all the log space has been released. Give up and report the problem after a while. With that, sd_reserving_log and sd_reserving_log_wait can be removed. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>
2021-01-19gfs2: Rename gfs2_{write => flush}_revokesAndreas Gruenbacher1-1/+1

2020-10-15gfs2: Wipe jdata and ail1 in gfs2_journal_wipe, formerly gfs2_meta_wipeBob Peterson1-1/+1
Before this patch, when blocks were freed, it called gfs2_meta_wipe to take the metadata out of the pending journal blocks. It did this mostly by calling another function called gfs2_remove_from_journal. This is shortsighted because it does not do anything with jdata blocks which may also be in the journal. This patch expands the function so that it wipes out jdata blocks from the journal as well, and it wipes it from the ail1 list if it hasn't been written back yet. Since it now processes jdata blocks as well, the function has been renamed from gfs2_meta_wipe to gfs2_journal_wipe. New function gfs2_ail1_wipe wants a static view of the ail list, so it locks the sd_ail_lock when removing items. To accomplish this, function gfs2_remove_from_journal no longer locks the sd_ail_lock, and it's now the caller's responsibility to do so. I was going to make sd_ail_lock locking conditional, but the practice is generally frowned upon.

2020-07-03gfs2: eliminate GIF_ORDERED in favor of list_emptyBob Peterson1-2/+2
In several places, we used the GIF_ORDERED inode flag to determine if an inode was on the ordered writes list. However, since we always held the sd_ordered_lock spin_lock during the manipulation, we can just as easily check list_empty(&ip->i_ordered) instead. This allows us to keep more than one ordered writes list to make journal writing improvements. This patch eliminates GIF_ORDERED in favor of checking list_empty.

2020-02-27gfs2: Do log_flush in gfs2_ail_empty_gl even if ail list is emptyBob Peterson1-0/+1
Before this patch, if gfs2_ail_empty_gl saw there was nothing on the ail list, it would return and not flush the log. The problem is that there could still be a revoke for the rgrp sitting on the sd_log_le_revoke list that's been recently taken off the ail list. But that revoke still needs to be written, and the rgrp_go_inval still needs to call log_flush_wait to ensure the revokes are all properly written to the journal before we relinquish control of the glock to another node. If we give the glock to another node before we have this knowledge, the node might crash and its journal replayed, in which case the missing revoke would allow the journal replay to replay the rgrp over top of the rgrp we already gave to another node, thus overwriting its changes and corrupting the file system. This patch makes gfs2_ail_empty_gl still call gfs2_log_flush rather than returning. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>

2019-11-14gfs2: fix glock reference problem in gfs2_trans_remove_revokeBob Peterson1-0/+1
Commit 9287c6452d2b fixed a situation in which gfs2 could use a glock after it had been freed. To do that, it temporarily added a new glock reference by calling gfs2_glock_hold in function gfs2_add_revoke. However, if the bd element was removed by gfs2_trans_remove_revoke, it failed to drop the additional reference. This patch adds logic to gfs2_trans_remove_revoke to properly drop the additional glock reference.

2019-05-07gfs2: clean_journal improperly set sd_log_flush_headBob Peterson1-1/+2
This patch fixes regressions in 588bff95c94efc05f9e1a0b19015c9408ed7c0ef. Due to that patch, function clean_journal was setting the value of sd_log_flush_head, but that's only valid if it is replaying the node's own journal. If it's replaying another node's journal, that's completely wrong and will lead to multiple problems. This patch tries to clean up the mess by passing the value of the logical journal block number into gfs2_write_log_header so the function can treat non-owned journals generically. For the local journal, the journal extent map is used for best performance. For other nodes from other journals, new function gfs2_lblk_to_dblk is called to figure it out using gfs2_iomap_get. This patch also tries to establish more consistency when passing journal block parameters by changing several unsigned int types to a consistent u32.

2017-12-22GFS2: Reduce code redundancy writing log headersBob Peterson1-0/+2
Before this patch, there was a lot of code redundancy between functions log_write_header (which uses bio) and clean_journal (which uses buffer_head). This patch reduces the redundancy to simplify the code and make log header writing more consistent. We want more consistency and reduced redundancy because we plan to add a bunch of new fields to improve performance (by eliminating the local statfs and quota files) improve metadata integrity (by adding new crcs and such) and for better debugging (by adding new fields to track when and where metadata was pushed through the journals.) We don't want to duplicate setting these new fields, nor allow for human error in the process. This reduction in code redundancy is accomplished by introducing a new helper function, gfs2_write_log_header which uses bio rather than bh. That simplifies recovery function clean_journal() to use the new helper function and iomap rather than redundancy and block_map (and eventually we can maybe remove block_map). It also reduces our dependency on buffer_heads. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>
2014-05-14GFS2: remove transaction glockBenjamin Marzinski1-2/+9
GFS2 has a transaction glock, which must be grabbed for every transaction, whose purpose is to deal with freezing the filesystem. Aside from this involving a large amount of locking, it is very easy to make the current fsfreeze code hang on unfreezing. This patch rewrites how gfs2 handles freezing the filesystem. The transaction glock is removed. In it's place is a freeze glock, which is cached (but not held) in a shared state by every node in the cluster when the filesystem is mounted. This lock only needs to be grabbed on freezing, and actions which need to be safe from freezing, like recovery. When a node wants to freeze the filesystem, it grabs this glock exclusively. When the freeze glock state changes on the nodes (either from shared to unlocked, or shared to exclusive), the filesystem does a special log flush. gfs2_log_flush() does all the work for flushing out the and shutting down the incore log, and then it tries to grab the freeze glock in a shared state again. Since the filesystem is stuck in gfs2_log_flush, no new transaction can start, and nothing can be written to disk. Unfreezing the filesytem simply involes dropping the freeze glock, allowing gfs2_log_flush() to grab and then release the shared lock, so it is cached for next time. However, in order for the unfreezing ioctl to occur, gfs2 needs to get a shared lock on the filesystem root directory inode to check permissions. If that glock has already been grabbed exclusively, fsfreeze will be unable to get the shared lock and unfreeze the filesystem. In order to allow the unfreeze, this patch makes gfs2 grab a shared lock on the filesystem root directory during the freeze, and hold it until it unfreezes the filesystem. The functions which need to grab a shared lock in order to allow the unfreeze ioctl to be issued now use the lock grabbed by the freeze code instead. The freeze and unfreeze code take care to make sure that this shared lock will not be dropped while another process is using it.

2013-06-19GFS2: aggressively issue revokes in gfs2_log_flushBenjamin Marzinski1-0/+2
This patch looks at all the outstanding blocks in all the transactions on the log, and moves the completed ones to the ail2 list. Then it issues revokes for these blocks. This will hopefully speed things up in situations where there is a lot of contention for glocks, especially if they are acquired serially. revoke_lo_before_commit will issue at most one log block's full of these preemptive revokes. The amount of reserved log space that gfs2_log_reserve() ignores has been incremented to allow for this extra block. This patch also consolidates the common revoke instructions into one function, gfs2_add_revoke().

2013-01-29GFS2: Use ->writepages for ordered writesSteven Whitehouse1-0/+12
Instead of using a list of buffers to write ahead of the journal flush, this now uses a list of inodes and calls ->writepages via filemap_fdatawrite() in order to achieve the same thing. For most use cases this results in a shorter ordered write list, as well as much larger i/os being issued. The ordered write list is sorted by inode number before writing in order to retain the disk block ordering between inodes as per the previous code. The previous ordered write code used to conflict in its assumptions about how to write out the disk blocks with mpage_writepages() so that with this updated version we can also use mpage_writepages() for GFS2's ordered write, writepages implementation. So we will also send larger i/os from writeback too. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2012-04-24GFS2: Clean up log write code pathSteven Whitehouse1-2/+0
Prior to this patch, we have two ways of sending i/o to the log. One of those is used when we need to allocate both the data to be written itself and also a buffer head to submit it. This is done via sb_getblk and friends. This is used mostly for writing log headers. The other method is used when writing blocks which have some in-place counterpart. This is the case for all the metadata blocks which are journalled, and when journaled data is in use, for unescaped journalled data blocks. This patch replaces both of those two methods, and about half a dozen separate i/o submission points with a single i/o submission function. We also go direct to bio rather than using buffer heads, since this allows us to build i/o requests of the maximum size for the block device in question. It also reduces the memory required for flushing the log, which can be very useful in low memory situations. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2011-04-20GFS2: Make writeback more responsive to system conditionsSteven Whitehouse1-0/+2

2010-05-05GFS2: Various gfs2_logd improvementsBenjamin Marzinski1-1/+0
This patch contains various tweaks to how log flushes and active item writeback work. gfs2_logd is now managed by a waitqueue, and gfs2_log_reseve now waits for gfs2_logd to do the log flushing. Multiple functions were rewritten to remove the need to call gfs2_log_lock(). Instead of using one test to see if gfs2_logd had work to do, there are now seperate tests to check if there are two many buffers in the incore log or if there are two many items on the active items list. This patch is a port of a patch Steve Whitehouse wrote about a year ago, with some minor changes. Since gfs2_ail1_start always submits all the active items, it no longer needs to keep track of the first ai submitted, so this has been removed. In gfs2_log_reserve(), the order of the calls to prepare_to_wait_exclusive() and wake_up() when firing off the logd thread has been switched. If it called wake_up first there was a small window for a race, where logd could run and return before gfs2_log_reserve was ready to get woken up. If gfs2_logd ran, but did not free up enough blocks, gfs2_log_reserve() would be left waiting for gfs2_logd to eventualy run because it timed out. Finally, gt_logd_secs, which controls how long to wait before gfs2_logd times out, and flushes the log, can now be set on mount with ar_commit.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Don't add glocks to the journalSteven Whitehouse1-1/+8
The only reason for adding glocks to the journal was to keep track of which locks required a log flush prior to release. We add a flag to the glock to allow this check to be made in a simpler way.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Remove useless i_cache from inodesSteven Whitehouse1-1/+1
The i_cache was designed to keep references to the indirect blocks used during block mapping so that they didn't have to be looked up continually. The idea failed because there are too many places where the i_cache needs to be freed, and this has in the past been the cause of many bugs. In addition there was no performance benefit being gained since the disk blocks in question were cached anyway.

As per comments from Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> this updates the copyright message to say "version" in full rather than "v.2". Also incore.h has been updated to remove forward structure declarations which are not required. The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added to it. Also quota.c has been updated so that we now store the lvb data locally in endian independant format to avoid needing a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess conversions are done as required at various points and thus the conversion routines in lvb.[ch] are no longer required. I've moved the one remaining constant in lvb.h thats used into lm.h and removed the unused lvb.[ch]. I have not changed the HIF_ constants.

This fixes a ref count bug that sometimes showed up a umount time (causing it to hang) but it otherwise mostly harmless. At the same time there are some clean ups including making the log operations structures const, moving a memory allocation so that its not done in the fast path of checking to see if there is an outstanding transaction related to a particular glock.

Removes the "invalidate inodes" loop from GFS2's put_super routine. This is done in kill super anyway so we don't need to do it here.
