2013-10-04GFS2: Protect quota sync generationSteven Whitehouse1-0/+1
Now that gfs2_quota_sync can be potentially called from multiple threads, we should protect this bit of code, and the sync generation number in particular in order to ensure that there are no races when syncing quotas.

2013-10-04GFS2: Remove obsolete quota tunableSteven Whitehouse1-1/+0
There is no need for a paramater which relates to the internals of quota to be exposed to users. The only possible use would be to turn it up so large that the memory allocation fails. So lets remove it and set it to a sensible value which ensures that we don't ask for multipage allocations. Currently the size of struct gfs2_holder means that the caluclated value is identical to the previous default value, so there should be no functional change.

2013-03-03fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.Eric W. Biederman1-1/+3
Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-" and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules to match. A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel. Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially making things safer with no real cost. Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe, well understood work-arounds to known problematic software. This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module autofs4. This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module. After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module() without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep. Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT, which most filesystems do not set today.

2013-01-29GFS2: Use ->writepages for ordered writesSteven Whitehouse1-0/+1
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>
2013-01-29GFS2: Clean up freeze codeSteven Whitehouse1-2/+0
The freeze code has not been looked at a lot recently. Upstream has moved on, and this is an attempt to catch us back up again. There is a vfs level interface for the freeze code which can be called from our (obsolete, but kept for backward compatibility purposes) sysfs freeze interface. This means freezing this way vs. doing it from the ioctl should now work in identical fashion. As a result of this, the freeze function is only called once and we can drop our own special purpose code for counting the number of freezes. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2012-05-02dlm: fixes for nodir modeDavid Teigland1-6/+1
The "nodir" mode (statically assign master nodes instead of using the resource directory) has always been highly experimental, and never seriously used. This commit fixes a number of problems, making nodir much more usable. - Major change to recovery: recover all locks and restart all in-progress operations after recovery. In some cases it's not possible to know which in-progess locks to recover, so recover all. (Most require recovery in nodir mode anyway since rehashing changes most master nodes.) - Change the way nodir mode is enabled, from a command line mount arg passed through gfs2, into a sysfs file managed by dlm_controld, consistent with the other config settings. - Allow recovering MSTCPY locks on an rsb that has not yet been turned into a master copy. - Ignore RCOM_LOCK and RCOM_LOCK_REPLY recovery messages from a previous, aborted recovery cycle. Base this on the local recovery status not being in the state where any nodes should be sending LOCK messages for the current recovery cycle. - Hold rsb lock around dlm_purge_mstcpy_locks() because it may run concurrently with dlm_recover_master_copy(). - Maintain highbast on process-copy lkb's (in addition to the master as is usual), because the lkb can switch back and forth between being a master and being a process copy as the master node changes in recovery. - When recovering MSTCPY locks, flag rsb's that have non-empty convert or waiting queues for granting at the end of recovery. (Rename flag from LOCKS_PURGED to RECOVER_GRANT and similar for the recovery function, because it's not only resources with purged locks that need grant a grant attempt.) - Replace a couple of unnecessary assertion panics with error messages.

2012-03-05GFS2: Eliminate sd_rindex_mutexBob Peterson1-1/+0
Over time, we've slowly eliminated the use of sd_rindex_mutex. Up to this point, it was only used in two places: function gfs2_ri_total (which totals the file system size by reading and parsing the rindex file) and function gfs2_rindex_update which updates the rgrps in memory. Both of these functions have the rindex glock to protect them, so the rindex is unnecessary. Since gfs2_grow writes to the rindex via the meta_fs, the mutex is in the wrong order according to the normal rules. This patch eliminates the mutex entirely to avoid the problem.

2012-02-28GFS2: glock statistics gatheringSteven Whitehouse1-0/+8
The stats are divided into two sets: those relating to the super block and those relating to an individual glock. The super block stats are done on a per cpu basis in order to try and reduce the overhead of gathering them. They are also further divided by glock type. In the case of both the super block and glock statistics, the same information is gathered in each case. The super block statistics are used to provide default values for most of the glock statistics, so that newly created glocks should have, as far as possible, a sensible starting point. The statistics are divided into three pairs of mean and variance, plus two counters. The mean/variance pairs are smoothed exponential estimates and the algorithm used is one which will be very familiar to those used to calculation of round trip times in network code. The three pairs of mean/variance measure the following things: 1. DLM lock time (non-blocking requests) 2. DLM lock time (blocking requests) 3. Inter-request time (again to the DLM) A non-blocking request is one which will complete right away, whatever the state of the DLM lock in question. That currently means any requests when (a) the current state of the lock is exclusive (b) the requested state is either null or unlocked or (c) the "try lock" flag is set. A blocking request covers all the other lock requests. There are two counters. The first is there primarily to show how many lock requests have been made, and thus how much data has gone into the mean/variance calculations. The other counter is counting queueing of holders at the top layer of the glock code. Hopefully that number will be a lot larger than the number of dlm lock requests issued. So why gather these statistics? There are several reasons we'd like to get a better idea of these timings: 1. To be able to better set the glock "min hold time" 2. To spot performance issues more easily 3. To improve the algorithm for selecting resource groups for allocation (to base it on lock wait time, rather than blindly using a "try lock") Due to the smoothing action of the updates, a step change in some input quantity being sampled will only fully be taken into account after 8 samples (or 4 for the variance) and this needs to be carefully considered when interpreting the results. Knowing both the time it takes a lock request to complete and the average time between lock requests for a glock means we can compute the total percentage of the time for which the node is able to use a glock vs. time that the rest of the cluster has its share. That will be very useful when setting the lock min hold time. The other point to remember is that all times are in nanoseconds. Great care has been taken to ensure that we measure exactly the quantities that we want, as accurately as possible. There are always inaccuracies in any measuring system, but I hope this is as accurate as we can reasonably make it. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2012-02-28GFS2: Read resource groups on mountSteven Whitehouse1-0/+5
This makes mount take slightly longer, but at the same time, the first write to the filesystem will be faster too. It also means that if there is a problem in the resource index, then we can refuse to mount rather than having to try and report that when the first write occurs. In addition, to avoid recursive locking, we hvae to take account of instances when the rindex glock may already be held when we are trying to update the rbtree of resource groups.

2012-01-11GFS2: let spectator mount do read only recoveryDavid Teigland1-1/+1
Previously, a spectator mount would not even attempt to do journal recovery for a failed node. This meant that if all mounted nodes were spectators, everyone would be stuck after a node failed, all waiting for recovery to be performed. This is unnecessary since the failed node had a clean journal. Instead, allow a spectator mount to do a partial "read only" recovery, which means it will check if the failed journal is clean, and if so, report a successful recovery. If the failed journal is not clean, it reports that journal recovery failed. This makes it work the same as a read only mount on a read only block device.

Christoph has split up REQ_PRIO from REQ_META. That means that we can drop REQ_PRIO from places where is it not needed. I'm not at all sure that the combination WRITE_FLUSH_FUA | REQ_PRIO makes any kind of sense, anyway. In addition, I've added REQ_META to one place in the code where it was missing.

2011-10-21GFS2: Use rbtree for resource groups and clean up bitmap buffer ref count schemeBob Peterson1-2/+1
Here is an update of Bob's original rbtree patch which, in addition, also resolves the rather strange ref counting that was being done relating to the bitmap blocks. Originally we had a dual system for journaling resource groups. The metadata blocks were journaled and also the rgrp itself was added to a list. The reason for adding the rgrp to the list in the journal was so that the "repolish clones" code could be run to update the free space, and potentially send any discard requests when the log was flushed. This was done by comparing the "cloned" bitmap with what had been written back on disk during the transaction commit. Due to this, there was a requirement to hang on to the rgrps' bitmap buffers until the journal had been flushed. For that reason, there was a rather complicated set up in the ->go_lock ->go_unlock functions for rgrps involving both a mutex and a spinlock (the ->sd_rindex_spin) to maintain a reference count on the buffers. However, the journal maintains a reference count on the buffers anyway, since they are being journaled as metadata buffers. So by moving the code which deals with the post-journal accounting for bitmap blocks to the metadata journaling code, we can entirely dispense with the rather strange buffer ref counting scheme and also the requirement to journal the rgrps. The net result of all this is that the ->sd_rindex_spin is left to do exactly one job, and that is to look after the rbtree or rgrps. This patch is designed to be a stepping stone towards using RCU for the rbtree of resource groups, however the reduction in the number of uses of the ->sd_rindex_spin is likely to have benefits for multi-threaded workloads, anyway. The patch retains ->go_lock and ->go_unlock for rgrps, however these maybe also be removed in future in favour of calling the functions directly where required in the code. That will allow locking of resource groups without needing to actually read them in - something that could be useful in speeding up statfs. In the mean time though it is valid to dereference ->bi_bh only when the rgrp is locked. This is basically the same rule as before, modulo the references not being valid until the following journal flush.

2011-07-12GFS2: Fix race during filesystem mountSteven Whitehouse1-0/+3
There is a potential race during filesystem mounting which has recently been reported. It occurs when the userland gfs_controld is able to process requests fast enough that it tries to use the sysfs interface before the lock module is properly initialised. This is a pretty unusual case as normally the lock module initialisation is very quick compared with gfs_controld. This patch adds an interruptible completion which is used to ensure that userland will wait for the initialisation of the lock module to complete. There are other potential solutions to this problem, but this is the quickest at this stage and has been tested both with and without mount.gfs2 present in the system.

This patch fixes a deadlock in GFS2 where two processes are trying to reclaim an unlinked dinode: One holds the inode glock and calls gfs2_lookup_by_inum trying to look up the inode, which it can't, due to I_FREEING. The other has set I_FREEING from vfs and is at the beginning of gfs2_delete_inode waiting for the glock, which is held by the first.

2011-03-11GFS2: introduce AIL lockDave Chinner1-0/+1
The log lock is currently used to protect the AIL lists and the movements of buffers into and out of them. The lists are self contained and no log specific items outside the lists are accessed when starting or emptying the AIL lists. Hence the operation of the AIL does not require the protection of the log lock so split them out into a new AIL specific lock to reduce the amount of traffic on the log lock. This will also reduce the amount of serialisation that occurs when the gfs2_logd pushes on the AIL to move it forward. This reduces the impact of log pushing on sequential write throughput.

We need to ensure that the glock count is kept correct even in the case that there is a race to add a new glock into the hash table.

2011-01-21GFS2: Use RCU for glock hash tableSteven Whitehouse1-5/+2
This has a number of advantages: - Reduces contention on the hash table lock - Makes the code smaller and simpler - Should speed up glock dumps when under load - Removes ref count changing in examine_bucket - No longer need hash chain lock in glock_put() in common case There are some further changes which this enables and which we may do in the future. One is to look at using SLAB_RCU, and another is to look at using a per-cpu counter for the per-sb glock counter, since that is touched twice in the lifetime of each glock (but only used at umount time).

2011-01-07fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup pathNick Piggin1-1/+1
Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them. This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we have d_op but not the particular operation. Patched with: git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2010-11-13block: clean up blkdev_get() wrappers and their usersTejun Heo1-4/+4
After recent blkdev_get() modifications, open_by_devnum() and open_bdev_exclusive() are simple wrappers around blkdev_get(). Replace them with blkdev_get_by_dev() and blkdev_get_by_path(). blkdev_get_by_dev() is identical to open_by_devnum(). blkdev_get_by_path() is slightly different in that it doesn't automatically add %FMODE_EXCL to @mode. All users are converted. Most conversions are mechanical and don't introduce any behavior difference. There are several exceptions. * btrfs now sets FMODE_EXCL in btrfs_device->mode, so there's no reason to OR it explicitly on blkdev_put(). * gfs2, nilfs2 and the generic mount_bdev() now set FMODE_EXCL in sb->s_mode. * With the above changes, sb->s_mode now always should contain FMODE_EXCL. WARN_ON_ONCE() added to kill_block_super() to detect errors. The new blkdev_get_*() functions are with proper docbook comments. While at it, add function description to blkdev_get() too.

2010-11-13block: make blkdev_get/put() handle exclusive accessTejun Heo1-2/+2
Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev open, close, claim and release. * blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions. * bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open. * open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and the other way around, respectively. * bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave symlinks. * open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get(). The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that, * blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management. @holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses. * blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are removed automatically. * bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer necessary and either made static or removed. * bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder() is no longer necessary and removed. * open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev() and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only() test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get(). * open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to blkdev_get(). Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put() and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases. open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup - rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop special features. Well, let's leave them for another day. Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the same.

2010-09-29GFS2: Improve journal allocation via sysfsSteven Whitehouse1-2/+14
Recently a feature was added to GFS2 to allow journal id allocation via sysfs. This patch builds upon that so that a negative journal id will be treated as an error code to be passed back as the return code from mount. This allows termination of the mount process if there is a failure. Also, the process has been updated so that the kernel will wait for a journal id, even in the "spectator" case. This is required in order to avoid mounting a filesystem in case there is an error while joining the cluster. In the spectator case, 0 is written into the file to indicate that all is well, and that mount should continue. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2010-09-24GFS2: Remove upgrade mount optionSteven Whitehouse1-58/+2

2010-09-23GFS2: Remove localcaching mount optionSteven Whitehouse1-1/+0
This option defaulted to on for lock_nolock mounts and off otherwise. The only function was to avoid the revalidation of dentries. In the cluster case, that is entirely pointless and liable to cause coherency problems. The patch changes the revalidation to depend upon whether the fs is a local or cluster fs (i.e. it follows the existing default behaviour). I very much doubt anybody ever used this option as there is no reason to. Even so we will continue to accept it on the mount command line, but ignore it.
