Implement truncate/delete as a non-recursive algorithm. The older
algorithm was implemented with recursion to strip off each layer
at a time (going by height, starting with the maximum height.
This version tries to do the same thing but without recursion,
and without needing to allocate new structures or lists in memory.
For example, say you want to truncate a very large file to 1 byte,
and its end-of-file metapath is: 0.505.463.428. The starting
metapath would be 0.0.0.0. Since it's a truncate to non-zero, it
needs to preserve that byte, and all metadata pointing to it.
So it would start at 0.0.0.0, look up all its metadata buffers,
then free all data blocks pointed to at the highest level.
After that buffer is "swept", it moves on to 0.0.0.1, then
0.0.0.2, etc., reading in buffers and sweeping them clean.
When it gets to the end of the 0.0.0 metadata buffer (for 4K
blocks the last valid one is 0.0.0.508), it backs up to the
previous height and starts working on 0.0.1.0, then 0.0.1.1,
and so forth. After it reaches the end and sweeps 0.0.1.508,
it continues with 0.0.2.0, and so on. When that height is
exhausted, and it reaches 0.0.508.508 it backs up another level,
to 0.1.0.0, then 0.1.0.1, through 0.1.0.508. So it has to keep
marching backwards and forwards through the metadata until it's
all swept clean. Once it has all the data blocks freed, it
lowers the strip height, and begins the process all over again,
but with one less height. This time it sweeps 0.0.0 through
0.505.463. When that's clean, it lowers the strip height again
and works to free 0.505. Eventually it strips the lowest height, 0.
For a delete or truncate to 0, all metadata for all heights of
0.0.0.0 would be freed. For a truncate to 1 byte, 0.0.0.0 would
be preserved.
This isn't much different from normal integer incrementing,
where an integer gets incremented from 0000 (0.0.0.0) to 3021
(3.0.2.1). So 0000 gets increments to 0001, 0002, up to 0009,
then on to 0010, 0011 up to 0099, then 0100 and so forth. It's
just that each "digit" goes from 0 to 508 (for a total of 509
pointers) rather than from 0 to 9.
Note that the dinode will only have 483 pointers due to the
dinode structure itself.
Also note: this is just an example. These numbers (509 and 483)
are based on a standard 4K block size. Smaller block sizes will
yield smaller numbers of indirect pointers accordingly.
The truncation process is accomplished with the help of two
major functions and a few helper functions.
Functions do_strip and recursive_scan are obsolete, so removed.
New function sweep_bh_for_rgrps cleans a buffer_head pointed to
by the given metapath and height. By cleaning, I mean it frees
all blocks starting at the offset passed in metapath. It starts
at the first block in the buffer pointed to by the metapath and
identifies its resource group (rgrp). From there it frees all
subsequent block pointers that lie within that rgrp. If it's
already inside a transaction, it stays within it as long as it
can. In other words, it doesn't close a transaction until it knows
it's freed what it can from the resource group. In this way,
multiple buffers may be cleaned in a single transaction, as long
as those blocks in the buffer all lie within the same rgrp.
If it's not in a transaction, it starts one. If the buffer_head
has references to blocks within multiple rgrps, it frees all the
blocks inside the first rgrp it finds, then closes the
transaction. Then it repeats the cycle: identifies the next
unfreed block, uses it to find its rgrp, then starts a new
transaction for that set. It repeats this process repeatedly
until the buffer_head contains no more references to any blocks
past the given metapath.
Function trunc_dealloc has been reworked into a finite state
automaton. It has basically 3 active states:
DEALLOC_MP_FULL, DEALLOC_MP_LOWER, and DEALLOC_FILL_MP:
The DEALLOC_MP_FULL state implies the metapath has a full set
of buffers out to the "shrink height", and therefore, it can
call function sweep_bh_for_rgrps to free the blocks within the
highest height of the metapath. If it's just swept the lowest
level (or an error has occurred) the state machine is ended.
Otherwise it proceeds to the DEALLOC_MP_LOWER state.
The DEALLOC_MP_LOWER state implies we are finished with a given
buffer_head, which may now be released, and therefore we are
then missing some buffer information from the metapath. So we
need to find more buffers to read in. In most cases, this is
just a matter of releasing the buffer_head and moving to the
next pointer from the previous height, so it may be read in and
swept as well. If it can't find another non-null pointer to
process, it checks whether it's reached the end of a height
and needs to lower the strip height, or whether it still needs
move forward through the previous height's metadata. In this
state, all zero-pointers are skipped. From this state, it can
only loop around (once more backing up another height) or,
once a valid metapath is found (one that has non-zero
pointers), proceed to state DEALLOC_FILL_MP.
The DEALLOC_FILL_MP state implies that we have a metapath
but not all its buffers are read in. So we must proceed to read
in buffer_heads until the metapath has a valid buffer for every
height. If the previous state backed us up 3 heights, we may
need to read in a buffer, increment the height, then repeat the
process until buffers have been read in for all required heights.
If it's successful reading a buffer, and it's at the highest
height we need, it proceeds back to the DEALLOC_MP_FULL state.
If it's unable to fill in a buffer, (encounters a hole, etc.)
it tries to find another non-zero block pointer. If they're all
zero, it lowers the height and returns to the DEALLOC_MP_LOWER
state. If it finds a good non-null pointer, it loops around and
reads it in, while keeping the metapath in lock-step with the
pointers it examines.
The state machine runs until the truncation request is
satisfied. Then any transactions are ended, the quota and
statfs data are updated, and the function is complete.
Helper function metaptr1 was introduced to be an easy way to
determine the start of a buffer_head's indirect pointers.
Helper function lookup_mp_height was introduced to find a
metapath index and read in the buffer that corresponds to it.
In this way, function lookup_metapath becomes a simple loop to
call it for every height.
Helper function fillup_metapath is similar to lookup_metapath
except it can do partial lookups. If the state machine
backed up multiple levels (like 2999 wrapping to 3000) it
needs to find out the next starting point and start issuing
metadata reads at that point.
Helper function hptrs is a shortcut to determine how many
pointers should be expected in a buffer. Height 0 is the dinode
which has fewer pointers than the others.

For the last process to close a file opened for write, function
gfs2_rsqa_delete was deleting the file's inode's block reservation
out of the rgrp reservations tree. Then it was checking to make sure
rs_free was 0, but it was performing the check outside the protection
of rd_rsspin spin_lock. The rd_rsspin spin_lock protection is needed
to prevent a race between the process freeing the reservation and
another who is allocating a new set of blocks inside the same rgrp
for the same inode, thus changing its value.

Make the code more readable by cleaning up the different ways of
initializing lock holders and checking for initialized lock holders:
mark lock holders as uninitialized by setting the holder's glock to NULL
(gfs2_holder_mark_uninitialized) instead of zeroing out the entire
object or using a separate flag. Recognize initialized holders by their
non-NULL glock (gfs2_holder_initialized). Don't zero out holder objects
which are immeditiately initialized via gfs2_holder_init or
gfs2_glock_nq_init.

Before this patch, function read_rindex_entry would set a rgrp
glock's gl_object pointer to itself before inserting the rgrp into
the rgrp rbtree. The problem is: if another process was also reading
the rgrp in, and had already inserted its newly created rgrp, then
the second call to read_rindex_entry would overwrite that value,
then return a bad return code to the caller. Later, other functions
would reference the now-freed rgrp memory by way of gl_object.
In some cases, that could result in gfs2_rgrp_brelse being called
twice for the same rgrp: once for the failed attempt and once for
the "real" rgrp release. Eventually the kernel would panic.
There are also a number of other things that could go wrong when
a kernel module is accessing freed storage. For example, this could
result in rgrp corruption because the fake rgrp would point to a
fake bitmap in memory too, causing gfs2_inplace_reserve to search
some random memory for free blocks, and find some, since we were
never setting rgd->rd_bits to NULL before freeing it.
This patch fixes the problem by not setting gl_object until we
have successfully inserted the rgrp into the rbtree. Also, it sets
rd_bits to NULL as it frees them, which will ensure any accidental
access to the wrong rgrp will result in a kernel panic rather than
file system corruption, which is preferred.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Before this patch, when function try_rgrp_unlink queued a glock for
delete_work to reclaim the space, it used the inode glock to do so.
That's different from the iopen callback which uses the iopen glock
for the same purpose. We should be consistent and always use the
iopen glock. This may also save us reference counting problems with
the inode glock, since clear_glock does an extra glock_put() for the
inode glock.

Before this patch, multi-block reservation structures were allocated
from a special slab. This patch folds the structure into the gfs2_inode
structure. The disadvantage is that the gfs2_inode needs more memory,
even when a file is opened read-only. The advantages are: (a) we don't
need the special slab and the extra time it takes to allocate and
deallocate from it. (b) we no longer need to worry that the structure
exists for things like quota management. (c) This also allows us to
remove the calls to get_write_access and put_write_access since we
know the structure will exist.

This patch basically reverts the majority of patch 5407e24.
That patch eliminated the gfs2_qadata structure in favor of just
using the reservations structure. The problem with doing that is that
it increases the size of the reservations structure. That is not an
issue until it comes time to fold the reservations structure into the
inode in memory so we know it's always there. By separating out the
quota structure again, we aren't punishing the non-quota users by
making all the inodes bigger, requiring more slab space. This patch
creates a new slab area to allocate the quota stuff so it's managed
a little more sanely.

gl_name, but gl_name and its superblock pointer. This patch makes

This patch allows the block allocation code to retain the buffers
for the resource groups so they don't need to be re-read from buffer
cache with every request. This is a performance improvement that's
especially noticeable when resource groups are very large. For
example, with 2GB resource groups and 4K blocks, there can be 33
blocks for every resource group. This patch allows those 33 buffers
to be kept around and not read in and thrown away with every
operation. The buffers are released when the resource group is
either synced or invalidated.

The function set_rgrp_preferences() does not handle the (rarely
returned) NULL value from gfs2_rgrpd_get_next() and this patch
fixes that.
The fs image in question is only 150MB in size which allows for
only 1 rgrp to be created. The in-memory rb tree has only 1 node
and when gfs2_rgrpd_get_next() is called on this sole rgrp, it
returns NULL. (Default behavior is to wrap around the rb tree and
return the first node to give the illusion of a circular linked
list. In the case of only 1 rgrp, we can't have
gfs2_rgrpd_get_next() return the same rgrp (first, last, next all
point to the same rgrp)... that would cause unintended consequences
and infinite loops.)

struct gfs2_alloc_parms is passed to gfs2_quota_check() and

blocks being requested for allocation in the current operation.
We add a new field to struct gfs2_alloc_parms called 'allowed'.
gfs2_quota_check() and gfs2_inplace_reserve() return the max
blocks allowed by quota and the max blocks allowed by the chosen
rgrp respectively in 'allowed'.
A new field 'min_target', when non-zero, tells gfs2_quota_check()
and gfs2_inplace_reserve() to not return -EDQUOT/-ENOSPC when
there are atleast 'min_target' blocks allowable/available. The
assumption is that the caller is ok with just 'min_target' blocks

This patch checks if i_goal is either zero or if doesn't exist
within any rgrp (i.e gfs2_blk2rgrpd() returns NULL). If so, it
assigns the ip->i_no_addr block as the i_goal.
There are two scenarios where a bad i_goal can result in a
-EBADSLT error.
1. Attempting to allocate to an existing inode:
Control reaches gfs2_inplace_reserve() and ip->i_goal is bad.
We need to fix i_goal here.
2. A new inode is created in a directory whose i_goal is hosed:
In this case, the parent dir's i_goal is copied onto the new
inode. Since the new inode is not yet created, the ip->i_no_addr
field is invalid and so, the fix in gfs2_inplace_reserve() as per
1) won't work in this scenario. We need to catch and fix it sooner
in the parent dir itself (gfs2_create_inode()), before it is
copied to the new inode.

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.

This is another step towards improving the allocation of xattr
blocks at inode allocation time. Here we take advantage of
Christoph's recent work on ACLs to allocate a block for the
xattrs early if we know that we will be adding ACLs to the
inode later on. The advantage of that is that it is much
more likely that we'll get a contiguous run of two blocks
where the first is the inode and the second is the xattr block.
We still have to fall back to the original system in case we
don't get the requested two contiguous blocks, or in case the
ACLs are too large to fit into the block.
Future patches will move more of the ACL setting code further
up the gfs2_inode_create() function. Also, I'd like to be
able to do the same thing with the xattrs from LSMs in
due course, too. That way we should be able to slowly reduce
the number of independent transactions, at least in the
most common cases.

Each rgrp header is represented as a single extent on disk, so we
can calculate the position within the address space, since we are
using address spaces mapped 1:1 to the disk. This means that it
is possible to use the range based versions of filemap_fdatawrite/wait
and for invalidating the page cache.
Our eventual intent is to then be able to merge the address spaces
used for rgrps into a single address space, rather than to have
one for each glock, saving memory and reducing complexity.
Since during umount, the rgrp structures are disposed of before
the glocks, we need to store the extent information in the glock
so that is is available for a final invalidation. This patch uses
a field which is otherwise unused in rgrp glocks to do that, so
that we do not have to expand the size of a glock.

Since gfs2_inplace_reserve() is always called with a valid
alloc parms structure, there is no need to test for this
within the function itself - and in any case, after we've
all ready dereferenced it anyway.

With the preceding patch, we started accepting block reservations
smaller than the ideal size, which requires a lot more parsing of the
bitmaps. To reduce the amount of bitmap searching, this patch
implements a scheme whereby each rgrp keeps track of the point
at this multi-block reservations will fail.

This is just basically a resend of a patch I posted earlier.
It didn't change from its original, except in diff offsets, etc:
This patch fixes a bug in the GFS2 block allocation code. The problem
starts if a process already has a multi-block reservation, but for
some reason, another process disqualifies it from further allocations.
For example, the other process might set on the GFS2_RDF_ERROR bit.
The process holding the reservation jumps to label skip_rgrp, but
that label comes after the code that removes the reservation from the
tree. Therefore, the no longer usable reservation is not removed from
the rgrp's reservations tree; it's lost. Eventually, the lost reservation
causes the count of reserved blocks to get off, and eventually that
causes a BUG_ON(rs->rs_rbm.rgd->rd_reserved < rs->rs_free) to trigger.
This patch moves the call to after label skip_rgrp so that the
disqualified reservation is properly removed from the tree, thus keeping
the rgrp rd_reserved count sane.

Here is a second try at a patch I posted earlier, which also implements
suggestions Steve made:
Before this patch, GFS2 would keep searching through all the rgrps
until it found one that had a chunk of free blocks big enough to
satisfy the size hint, which is based on the file write size,
regardless of whether the chunk was big enough to perform the write.
However, when doing big writes there may not be a large enough
chunk of free blocks in any rgrp, due to file system fragmentation.
The largest chunk may be big enough to satisfy the write request,
but it may not meet the ideal reservation size from the "size hint".
The writes would slow to a crawl because every write would search
every rgrp, then finally give up and default to a single-block write.
In my case, performance would drop from 425MB/s to 18KB/s, or 24000
times slower.
This patch basically makes it so that if we can't find a contiguous
chunk of blocks big enough to satisfy the sizehint, we'll use the
largest chunk of blocks we found that will still contain the write.
It does so by keeping track of the largest run of blocks within the
rgrp.

When setting the starting point for block allocation, there were calls
to both gfs2_rbm_to_block() and gfs2_rbm_from_block() in the common case
of there being an active reservation. The gfs2_rbm_from_block() function
can be quite slow, and since the two conversions were effectively a
no-op, it makes sense to avoid them entirely in this case.
There is no functional change here, but the code should be a bit more
efficient after this patch.

This patch adds a structure to contain allocation parameters with
the intention of future expansion of this structure. The idea is
that we should be able to add more information about the allocation
in the future in order to allow the allocator to make a better job
of placing the requests on-disk.
There is no functional difference from applying this patch.

The reservation for an inode should be cleared when it is truncated so
that we can start again at a different offset for future allocations.
We could try and do better than that, by resetting the search based on
where the truncation started from, but this is only a first step.
In addition, there are three callers of gfs2_rs_delete() but only one
of those should really be testing the value of i_writecount. While
we get away with that in the other cases currently, I think it would
be better if we made that test specific to the one case which
requires it.

Since the previous patch eliminated bi in favor of bii, this follow-on
patch needed to be adjusted accordingly. Here is the revised version.
This patch adds a new function, gfs2_rbm_incr, which increments
an rbm structure. This is more efficient than calling gfs2_rbm_to_block,
incrementing, then calling gfs2_rbm_from_block.

This is a respin of the original patch. As Steve pointed out, the
introduction of field bii makes it easy to eliminate bi itself.
This revised patch does just that, replacing bi with bii.
This patch adds a new field to the rbm structure, called bii,
which is an index into the array of bitmaps for an rgrp.
This replaces *bi which was a pointer to the bitmap.
This is being done for further optimizations.

When we used try locks for rgrps on block allocations, it was important
to clear the flags field so that we used a blocking hold on the glock.
Now that we're not doing try locks, clearing flags is unnecessary, and
a waste of time. In fact, it's probably doing the wrong thing because
it clears the GL_SKIP bit that was set for the lvb tracking purposes.

This patch introduces a new field in the bitmap structure called

In function gfs2_rbm_from_block, it starts by checking if the block
falls within the first bitmap. It does so by checking if the rbm's
offset is less than (rbm->bi->bi_start + rbm->bi->bi_len) * GFS2_NBBY.
However, the first bitmap will always have bi_start==0. Therefore
this is an unnecessary calculation in a function that gets called
billions of times. This patch removes the reference to bi_start.

This patch correctly distinguishes two boundary conditions:
1. When the given range is entire within the unaccounted space between
two rgrps, and
2. The range begins beyond the end of the filesystem
Also fix the unit of the returned value r.len (total trimming) to be in bytes
instead of the (incorrect) 512 byte blocks
With this patch, GFS2 passes multiple iterations of all the relevant xfstests
(251, 260, 288) with different fs block sizes.

This patch calls get_write_access in a few functions. This
merely increases inode->i_writecount for the duration of the function.
That will ensure that any file closes won't delete the inode's
multi-block reservation while the function is running.
