2010-03-01GFS2: Remove loopy umount codeSteven Whitehouse1-3/+1
As a consequence of the previous patch, we can now remove the loop which used to be required due to the circular dependency between the inodes and glocks. Instead we can just invalidate the inodes, and then clear up any glocks which are left. Also we no longer need the rwsem since there is no longer any danger of the inode invalidation calling back into the glock code (and from there back into the inode code).

2010-02-03GFS2: Extend umount wait coverage to full glock lifetimeSteven Whitehouse1-1/+9
Although all glocks are, by the time of the umount glock wait, scheduled for demotion, some of them haven't made it far enough through the process for the original set of waiting code to wait for them. This extends the ref count to the whole glock lifetime in order to ensure that the waiting does catch all glocks. It does make it a bit more invasive, but it seems the only sensible solution at the moment. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2010-02-03GFS2: Wait for unlock completion on umountSteven Whitehouse1-0/+2
This patch adds a wait on umount between the point at which we dispose of all glocks and the point at which we unmount the lock protocol. This ensures that we've received all the replies to our unlock requests before we stop the locking. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Reported-by: Fabio M.

2009-12-03GFS2: add barrier/nobarrier mount optionsChristoph Hellwig1-0/+2
Currently gfs2 issues barrier unconditionally. There are various reasons to disable them, be that just for testing or for stupid devices flushing large battert backed caches. Add a nobarrier option that matches xfs and btrfs for this. Also add a symmetric barrier option to turn it back on at remount time.

2009-12-03GFS2: Improve statfs and quota usabilityBenjamin Marzinski1-3/+11
GFS2 now has three new mount options, statfs_quantum, quota_quantum and statfs_percent. statfs_quantum and quota_quantum simply allow you to set the tunables of the same name. Setting setting statfs_quantum to 0 will also turn on the statfs_slow tunable. statfs_percent accepts an integer between 0 and 100. Numbers between 1 and 100 will cause GFS2 to do any early sync when the local number of blocks free changes by at least statfs_percent from the totoal number of blocks free. Setting statfs_percent to 0 disables this. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-12-03GFS2: Hook gfs2_quota_sync into VFS via gfs2_quotactl_opsSteven Whitehouse1-0/+3
The plan is to add further operations to the gfs2_quotactl_ops in future patches. The sync operation is easy, so we start with that one. We plan to use the XFS quota control functions because they more closely match the GFS2 ones. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-12-03GFS2: Fix -o meta mounts for subsequent mounts (i.e. all but the first one)Steven Whitehouse1-17/+118
We have a long term plan to use the "-o meta" flag to GFS2 mounts to access the alternate root which is used to store metadata for a GFS2 filesystem. This will allow us to eventually remove support for the gfs2meta filesystem type (which is in any case just a "front end" to the gfs2 filesystem type with the meta/master root). Currently the "-o meta" option is only taken into account on the initial mount of the filesystem. Subsequent mounts of the same filesystem (i.e. on the same device) result in basically the same as bind mounting the root of the original mount. This patch changes that by using what is more or less a copy of get_sb_bdev() and extending it so that it will take into account the alternate root in all cases. The main difference is that we have to parse the mount options a bit earlier. We can then use them to select the appropriate root towards the end of the function. In addition this also fixes a bug where it was possible (but certainly not desirable) to set different ro/rw options for the meta root when mounted via the gfs2meta fs compared with the original mount.

2009-09-09GFS2: Remove unused sysfs fileSteven Whitehouse1-5/+1
The /sys/fs/gfs2/<fsname>/lock_module/id file has been unused for some time now, so we can remove it. We still accept the mount option though, as userspace still sends that. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-08-27GFS2: Remove no_formal_ino generating codeSteven Whitehouse1-40/+5
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>
2009-08-26GFS2: Clean up of extended attribute supportSteven Whitehouse1-0/+1
This has been on my list for some time. We need to change the way in which we handle extended attributes to allow faster file creation times (by reducing the number of transactions required) and the extended attribute code is the main obstacle to this. In addition to that, the VFS provides a way to demultiplex the xattr calls which we ought to be using, rather than rolling our own. This patch changes the GFS2 code to use that VFS feature and as a result the code shrinks by a couple of hundred lines or so, and becomes easier to read. I'm planning on doing further clean up work in this area, but this patch is a good start. The cleaned up code also uses the more usual "xattr" shorthand, I plan to eliminate the use of "eattr" eventually and in the mean time it serves as a flag as to which bits of the code have been updated.

2009-08-24GFS2: Add "-o errors=panic|withdraw" mount optionsBob Peterson1-0/+1
This patch adds "-o errors=panic" and "-o errors=withdraw" to the gfs2 mount options. The "errors=withdraw" option is today's current behaviour, meaning to withdraw from the file system if a non-serious gfs2 error occurs. The new "errors=panic" option tells gfs2 to force a kernel panic if a non-serious gfs2 file system error occurs. This may be useful, for example, where fabric-level fencing is used that has no way to reboot (such as fence_scsi).

2009-08-17GFS2: Add online uevent to GFS2Steven Whitehouse1-1/+12
We already have an offline uevent (used when a withdraw occurs) but no online uevent. This adds an online uevent so that userspace will be able to detect a successful mount by means other than not receiving a remove event after the add & recovery (change) uevents. It has also been added to the remount path as well - we can't use a change uevent there as older GFS2 userspace acts on change uevents according to the state that it thinks the fs is in, so we can't easily add any new ones.

2009-06-12GFS2: Add tracepointsSteven Whitehouse1-0/+2
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.

2009-05-22block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_sizeMartin K. Petersen1-2/+2
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.

2009-05-19GFS2: Umount recovery race fixSteven Whitehouse1-14/+6
This patch fixes a race condition where we can receive recovery requests part way through processing a umount. This was causing problems since the recovery thread had already gone away. Looking in more detail at the recovery code, it was really trying to implement a slight variation on a work queue, and that happens to align nicely with the recently introduced slow-work subsystem. As a result I've updated the code to use slow-work, rather than its own home grown variety of work queue. When using the wait_on_bit() function, I noticed that the wait function that was supplied as an argument was appearing in the WCHAN field, so I've updated the function names in order to produce more meaningful output.

It has always been possible to adjust the gfs2 log commit interval, but only from the sysfs interface. This adds a mount option, commit=<nn>, which will be familar to ext3 users.

This cleans up a number of bits of code mostly based in glops.c. A couple of simple functions have been merged into the callers to make it more obvious what is going on, the mysterious raising of i_writecount around the truncate_inode_pages() call has been removed. The meta_go_* operations have been renamed rgrp_go_* since that is the only lock type that they are used with. The unused argument of gfs2_read_sb has been removed. Also a bug has been fixed where a check for the rindex inode was in the wrong callback. More comments are added, and the debugging code is improved too.

2009-03-24GFS2: Expose UUID via sysfs/ueventSteven Whitehouse1-0/+1
Since we have a UUID, we ought to expose it to the user via sysfs and uevents. We already have the fs name in both of these places (a combination of the lock proto and lock table name) so if we add the UUID as well, we have a full set. For older filesystems (i.e. those created before mkfs.gfs2 was writing UUIDs by default) the sysfs file will appear zero length, and no UUID env var will be added to the uevents.

2009-03-24GFS2: Merge lock_dlm module into GFS2Steven Whitehouse1-40/+94
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.

2009-03-24GFS2: Fix remount argument parsingSteven Whitehouse1-2/+9
The following patch fixes an issue relating to remount and argument parsing. After this fix is applied, remount becomes atomic in that it either succeeds changing the mount to the new state, or it fails and leaves it in the old state. Previously it was possible for the parsing of options to fail part way though and for the fs to be left in a state where some of the new arguments had been applied, but some had not.

2009-01-05GFS2: Fix use-after-free bug on umountSteven Whitehouse1-10/+88
There was a use-after-free with the GFS2 super block during umount. This patch moves almost all of the umount code from ->put_super into ->kill_sb, the only bit that cannot be moved being the glock hash clearing which has to remain as ->put_super due to umount ordering requirements. As a result its now obvious that the kfree is the final operation, whereas before it was hidden in ->put_super. Also gfs2_jindex_free is then only referenced from a single file so thats moved and marked static too. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2009-01-05GFS2: Kill two daemons with one patchSteven Whitehouse1-25/+0
This patch removes the two daemons, gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd and replaces them with a shrinker which is called from the VM. The net result is that GFS2 responds better when there is memory pressure, since it shrinks the glock cache at the same rate as the VFS shrinks the dcache and icache. There are no longer any time based criteria for shrinking glocks, they are kept until such time as the VM asks for more memory and then we demote just as many glocks as required. There are potential future changes to this code, including the possibility of sorting the glocks which are to be written back into inode number order, to get a better I/O ordering. It would be very useful to have an elevator based workqueue implementation for this, as that would automatically deal with the read I/O cases at the same time. This patch is my answer to Andrew Morton's remark, made during the initial review of GFS2, asking why GFS2 needs so many kernel threads, the answer being that it doesn't :-) This patch is a net loss of about 200 lines of code.

2009-01-05GFS2: Move gfs2_recoverd into recovery.cSteven Whitehouse1-0/+1
By moving gfs2_recoverd, we can make an additional function static and it also leaves only (the already scheduled for removal) gfs2_glockd in daemon.c.

2009-01-05GFS2: Fix "truncate in progress" hangSteven Whitehouse1-0/+2
Following on from the recent clean up of gfs2_quotad, this patch moves the processing of "truncate in progress" inodes from the glock workqueue into gfs2_quotad. This fixes a hang due to the "truncate in progress" processing requiring glocks in order to complete. It might seem odd to use gfs2_quotad for this particular item, but we have to use a pre-existing thread since creating a thread implies a GFP_KERNEL memory allocation which is not allowed from the glock workqueue context. Of the existing threads, gfs2_logd and gfs2_recoverd may deadlock if used for this operation. gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd are both scheduled for removal at some (hopefully not too distant) future point. That leaves only gfs2_quotad whose workload is generally fairly light and is easily adapted for this extra task. Also, as a result of this change, it opens the way for a future patch to make the reading of the inode's information asynchronous with respect to the glock workqueue, which is another improvement that has been on the list for some time now.

2009-01-05GFS2: Clean up & move gfs2_quotadSteven Whitehouse1-4/+1
This patch is a clean up of gfs2_quotad prior to giving it an extra job to do in addition to the current portfolio of updating the quota and statfs information from time to time. As a result it has been moved into quota.c allowing one of the functions it calls to be made static. Also the clean up allows the two existing functions to have separate timeouts and also to coexist with its future role of dealing with the "truncate in progress" inode flag. The (pointless) setting of gfs2_quotad_secs is removed since we arrange to only wake up quotad when one of the two timers expires. In addition the struct gfs2_quota_data is moved into a slab cache, mainly for easier debugging. It should also be possible to use a shrinker in the future, rather than the current scheme of scanning the quota data entries from time to time. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2008-09-18GFS2: high time to take some time over atimeSteven Whitehouse1-18/+5
Until now, we've used the same scheme as GFS1 for atime. This has failed since atime is a per vfsmnt flag, not a per fs flag and as such the "noatime" flag was not getting passed down to the filesystems. This patch removes all the "special casing" around atime updates and we simply use the VFS's atime code. The net result is that GFS2 will now support all the same atime related mount options of any other filesystem on a per-vfsmnt basis. We do lose the "lazy atime" updates, but we gain "relatime". We could add lazy atime to the VFS at a later date, if there is a requirement for that variant still - I suspect relatime will be enough. Also we lose about 100 lines of code after this patch has been applied, and I have a suspicion that it will speed things up a bit, even when atime is "on". So it seems like a nice clean up as well. From a user perspective, everything stays the same except the loss of the per-fs atime quantum tweekable (ought to be per-vfsmnt at the very least, and to be honest I don't think anybody ever used it) and that a number of options which were ignored before now work correctly. Please let me know if you've got any comments. I'm pushing this out early so that you can all see what my plans are. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2008-08-13GFS2: Fix metafs mountsSteven Whitehouse1-177/+389
This patch is intended to fix the issues reported in bz #457798. Instead of having the metafs as a separate filesystem, it becomes a second root of gfs2. As a result it will appear as type gfs2 in /proc/mounts, but it is still possible (for backwards compatibility purposes) to mount it as type gfs2meta. A new mount flag "meta" is introduced so that its possible to tell the two cases apart in /proc/mounts. As a result it becomes possible to mount type gfs2 with -o meta and get the same result as mounting type gfs2meta. So it is possible to mount just the metafs on its own. Currently if you do this, its then impossible to mount the "normal" root of the gfs2 filesystem without first unmounting the metafs root. I'm not sure if thats a feature or a bug :-) Either way, this is a great improvement on the previous scheme and I've verified that it works ok with bind mounts on both the "normal" root and the metafs root in various combinations. There were also a bunch of functions in super.c which didn't belong there, so this moves them into ops_fstype.c where they can be static. Hopefully the mount/umount sequence is now more obvious as a result. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Viro <aviro@redhat.com>
2008-07-10[GFS2] Replace rgrp "recent list" with mru listSteven Whitehouse1-1/+0
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.

2008-06-27[GFS2] Remove remote lock dropping codeSteven Whitehouse1-1/+1
There are several reasons why this is undesirable: 1. It never happens during normal operation anyway 2. If it does happen it causes performance to be very, very poor 3. It isn't likely to solve the original problem (memory shortage on remote DLM node) it was supposed to solve 4. It uses a bunch of arbitrary constants which are unlikely to be correct for any particular situation and for which the tuning seems to be a black art. 5. In an N node cluster, only 1/N of the dropped locked will actually contribute to solving the problem on average. So all in all we are better off without it. This also makes merging the lock_dlm module into GFS2 a bit easier. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-06-27[GFS2] No lock_nolockSteven Whitehouse1-2/+3
This patch merges the lock_nolock module into GFS2 itself. As well as removing some of the overhead of the module, it also means that its now impossible to build GFS2 without a lock module (which would be a pointless thing to do anyway). We also plan to merge lock_dlm into GFS2 in the future, but that is a more tricky task, and will therefore be a separate patch.

2008-03-31[GFS2] Invalidate cache at correct pointBenjamin Marzinski1-1/+1
GFS2 wasn't invalidating its cache before it called into the lock manager with a request that could potentially drop a lock. This was leaving a window where the lock could be actually be held by another node, but the file's page cache would still appear valid, causing coherency problems. This patch moves the cache invalidation to before the lock manager call when dropping a lock. It also adds the option to the lock_dlm lock manager to not use conversion mode deadlock avoidance, which, on a conversion from shared to exclusive, could internally drop the lock, and then reacquire in. GFS2 now asks lock_dlm to not do this. Instead, GFS2 manually drops the lock and reacquires it.

2008-03-31[GFS2] Remove drop of module ref where not neededSteven Whitehouse1-1/+0
In an earlier patch "[GFS2] fix file_system_type leak on gfs2meta mount" we removed the code to grab a ref to the module which was not needed (since we know that the module cannot be unloaded at that time) so this patch removes the code to drop that reference.
