2018-07-05gfs2: Eliminate redundant ip->i_rgdAndreas Gruenbacher1-2/+4
GFS2 remembers the last rgrp used for allocations in ip->i_rgd. However, block allocations are made by way of a reservations structure, ip->i_res, which keeps the last rgrp in ip->i_res.rs_rgd, and ip->i_res is kept in sync with ip->i_res.rs_rgd, so it's redundant. Get rid of ip->i_rgd and just use ip->i_res.rs_rgd in its place. Based on patches by Robert Peterson.

2013-01-29GFS2: Split gfs2_trans_add_bh() into twoSteven Whitehouse1-1/+2
There is little common content in gfs2_trans_add_bh() between the data and meta classes by the time that the functions which it calls are taken into account. The intent here is to split this into two separate functions. Stage one is to introduce gfs2_trans_add_data() and gfs2_trans_add_meta() and update the callers accordingly. Later patches will then pull in the content of gfs2_trans_add_bh() and its dependent functions in order to clean up the code in this area. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2012-09-24GFS2: Remove rs_requested field from reservationsSteven Whitehouse1-4/+3
The rs_requested field is left over from the original allocation code, however this should have been a parameter passed to the various functions from gfs2_inplace_reserve() and not a member of the reservation structure as the value is not required after the initial allocation. This also helps simplify the code since we no longer need to set the rs_requested to zero. Also the gfs2_inplace_release() function can also be simplified since the reservation structure will always be defined when it is called, and the only remaining task is to unlock the rgrp if required. It can also now be called unconditionally too, resulting in a further simplification. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2012-06-06GFS2: Extend the life of the reservationsBob Peterson1-1/+1
This patch lengthens the lifespan of the reservations structure for inodes. Before, they were allocated and deallocated for every write operation. With this patch, they are allocated when the first write occurs, and deallocated when the last process closes the file. It's more efficient to do it this way because it saves GFS2 a lot of unnecessary allocates and frees. It also gives us more flexibility for the future: (1) we can now fold the qadata structure back into the structure and save those alloc/frees, (2) we can use this for multi-block reservations.

2011-11-22GFS2: decouple quota allocations from block allocationsBob Peterson1-3/+3
This patch separates the code pertaining to allocations into two parts: quota-related information and block reservations. This patch also moves all the block reservation structure allocations to function gfs2_inplace_reserve to simplify the code, and moves the frees to function gfs2_inplace_release.

2011-10-21GFS2: Cache the most recently used resource group in the inodeSteven Whitehouse1-3/+5
This means that after the initial allocation for any inode, the last used resource group is cached in the inode for future use. This drastically reduces the number of lookups of resource groups in the common case, and this the contention on that data structure. The allocation algorithm is the same as previously, except that we always check to see if the goal block is within the cached rgrp first before going to the rbtree to look one up.

2011-10-21GFS2: Use rbtree for resource groups and clean up bitmap buffer ref count schemeBob Peterson1-8/+6
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.

2010-09-28GFS2: reserve more blocks for transactionsBenjamin Marzinski1-0/+8
Some of the functions in GFS2 were not reserving space in the transaction for the resource group header and the resource groups bitblocks that get added when you do allocation. GFS2 now makes sure to reserve space for the resource group header and either all the bitblocks in the resource group, or one for each block that it may allocate, whichever is smaller using the new gfs2_rg_blocks() inline function.

2010-09-20GFS2: fallocate supportBenjamin Marzinski1-0/+1
This patch adds support for fallocate to gfs2. Since the gfs2 does not support uninitialized data blocks, it must write out zeros to all the blocks. However, since it does not need to lock any pages to read from, gfs2 can write out the zero blocks much more efficiently. On a moderately full filesystem, fallocate works around 5 times faster on average. The fallocate call also allows gfs2 to add blocks to the file without changing the filesize, which will make it possible for gfs2 to preallocate space for the rindex file, so that gfs2 can grow a completely full filesystem.

2008-03-31[GFS2] Update gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke to accept extentsSteven Whitehouse1-1/+1
By adding an extra argument to gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke we can now specify an extent length of blocks to unrevoke. This means that we only need to make one pass through the list for each extent rather than each block. Currently the only extent length which is used is 1, but that will change in the future. Also gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke is removed from gfs2_alloc_meta since its the only difference between this and gfs2_alloc_data which is left. This will allow a future patch to merge these two functions into one (i.e. one call to allocate both data and metadata in a single extent in the future).

2008-01-25[GFS2] Don't add glocks to the journalSteven Whitehouse1-1/+0
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. This reduces the size of a glock (by 12 bytes on i386, 24 on x86_64) and means that we can avoid extra work during the journal flush. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-10-10[GFS2] Clean up gfs2_trans_add_revoke()Steven Whitehouse1-1/+1
The following alters gfs2_trans_add_revoke() to take a struct gfs2_bufdata as an argument. This eliminates the memory allocation which was previously required by making use of the already existing struct gfs2_bufdata. It makes some sanity checks to ensure that the gfs2_bufdata has been removed from all the lists before its recycled as a revoke structure. This saves one memory allocation and one free per revoke structure. Also as a result, and to simplify the locking, since there is no longer any blocking code in gfs2_trans_add_revoke() we must hold the log lock whenever this function is called. This reduces the amount of times we take and unlock the log lock. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2006-09-01[GFS2] Update copyright, tidy up incore.hSteven Whitehouse1-1/+1
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. That is left to a later patch which I hope will unify the gh_flags and gh_iflags fields of the struct gfs2_holder.

2006-06-14[GFS2] Fix unlinked file handlingSteven Whitehouse1-1/+0
This patch fixes the way we have been dealing with unlinked, but still open files. It removes all limits (other than memory for inodes, as per every other filesystem) on numbers of these which we can support on GFS2. It also means that (like other fs) its the responsibility of the last process to close the file to deallocate the storage, rather than the person who did the unlinking. Note that with GFS2, those two events might take place on different nodes. Also there are a number of other changes: o We use the Linux inode subsystem as it was intended to be used, wrt allocating GFS2 inodes o The Linux inode cache is now the point which we use for local enforcement of only holding one copy of the inode in core at once (previous to this we used the glock layer). o We no longer use the unlinked "special" file. We just ignore it completely. This makes unlinking more efficient. o We now use the 4th block allocation state. The previously unused state is used to track unlinked but still open inodes. o gfs2_inoded is no longer needed o Several fields are now no longer needed (and removed) from the in core struct gfs2_inode o Several fields are no longer needed (and removed) from the in core superblock There are a number of future possible optimisations and clean ups which have been made possible by this patch.

2006-03-29[GFS2] Update debugging codeSteven Whitehouse1-6/+2
Update the debugging code in trans.c and at the same time improve the debugging code for gfs2_holders. The new code should be pretty fast during the normal case and provide just as much information in case of errors (or more). One small function from glock.c has moved to glock.h as a static inline so that its return address won't get in the way of the debugging. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-02-08[GFS2] Make journaled data files identical to normal files on diskSteven Whitehouse1-1/+0
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>
