2012-02-28GFS2: Read resource groups on mountSteven Whitehouse4-20/+17
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.

2012-02-28GFS2: Ensure rindex is uptodate for fallocateBob Peterson1-0/+5
This patch fixes a problem whereby gfs2_grow was failing and causing GFS2 to assert. The problem was that when GFS2's fallocate operation tried to acquire an "allocation" it made sure the rindex was up to date, and if not, it called gfs2_rindex_update. However, if the file being fallocated was the rindex itself, it was already locked at that point. By calling gfs2_rindex_update at an earlier point in time, we bring rindex up to date and thereby avoid trying to lock it when the "allocation" is acquired.

2012-01-11GFS2: let spectator mount do read only recoveryDavid Teigland3-2/+5
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.

2012-01-11GFS2: Fix a use-after-free that coverity spottedBob Peterson1-1/+1
In function gfs2_inplace_release it was trying to unlock a gfs2_holder structure associated with a reservation, after said reservation was freed. The problem is that the statements have the wrong order. This patch corrects the order so that the reservation is freed after the gfs2_holder is unlocked.

This new method of managing recovery is an alternative to the previous approach of using the userland gfs_controld. - use dlm slot numbers to assign journal id's - use dlm recovery callbacks to initiate journal recovery - use a dlm lock to determine the first node to mount fs - use a dlm lock to track journals that need recovery Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

These new callbacks notify the dlm user about lock recovery. GFS2, and possibly others, need to be aware of when the dlm will be doing lock recovery for a failed lockspace member.

2011-11-22GFS2: Fix multi-block allocationSteven Whitehouse2-31/+36
Clean up gfs2_alloc_blocks so that it takes the full extent length rather than just the number of non-inode blocks as an argument. That will only make a difference in the inode allocation case for now. Also, this fixes the extent length handling around gfs2_alloc_extent() so that multi block allocations will work again. The rd_last_alloc block is set to the final block in the allocated extent (as per the update to i_goal, but referenced to a different start point). This also removes the dinode argument to rgblk_search() which is no longer used. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2011-11-21GFS2: move toward a generic multi-block allocatorBob Peterson6-39/+39
This patch is a revision of the one I previously posted. I tried to integrate all the suggestions Steve gave. The purpose of the patch is to change function gfs2_alloc_block (allocate either a dinode block or an extent of data blocks) to a more generic gfs2_alloc_blocks function that can allocate both a dinode _and_ an extent of data blocks in the same call. This will ultimately help us create a multi-block reservation scheme to reduce file fragmentation. This patch moves more toward a generic multi-block allocator that takes a pointer to the number of data blocks to allocate, plus whether or not to allocate a dinode. In theory, it could be called to allocate (1) a single dinode block, (2) a group of one or more data blocks, or (3) a dinode plus several data blocks.

2011-11-21GFS2: O_(D)SYNC support for fallocateSteven Whitehouse1-0/+5
Add sync of metadata after fallocate for O_SYNC files to ensure that we meet expectations for everything being on disk in this case. Unfortunately, the offset and len parameters are modified during the course of the fallocate function, so I've had to add a couple of new variables to call generic_write_sync() at the end. I know that potentially this will sync data as well within the range, but I think that is a fairly harmless side-effect overall, since we would not normally expect there to be any dirty data within the range in question.

This was spotted by automated code analysis. In case reading an ACL xattr failed (only likely to happen if there is an I/O error for example, and even then only with unstuffed xattrs, so pretty difficult to trigger) a small amount of memory could potentially be leaked.

Christoph has split up REQ_PRIO from REQ_META. That means that we can drop REQ_PRIO from places where is it not needed.

REQ_PRIO has been left for read/writes triggered by glock acquisition and writeback only. We can adjust it again if required, but these are the most important points from a performance perspective.

2011-10-28vfs: do (nearly) lockless generic_file_llseekAndi Kleen1-2/+2
The i_mutex lock use of generic _file_llseek hurts. Independent processes accessing the same file synchronize over a single lock, even though they have no need for synchronization at all. Under high utilization this can cause llseek to scale very poorly on larger systems. This patch does some rethinking of the llseek locking model: First the 64bit f_pos is not necessarily atomic without locks on 32bit systems. This can already cause races with read() today. This was discussed on linux-kernel in the past and deemed acceptable. The patch does not change that. Let's look at the different seek variants: SEEK_SET: Doesn't really need any locking. If there's a race one writer wins, the other loses. For 32bit the non atomic update races against read() stay the same. Without a lock they can also happen against write() now. The read() race was deemed acceptable in past discussions, and I think if it's ok for read it's ok for write too. => Don't need a lock. SEEK_END: This behaves like SEEK_SET plus it reads the maximum size too. Reading the maximum size would have the 32bit atomic problem. But luckily we already have a way to read the maximum size without locking (i_size_read), so we can just use that instead. Without i_mutex there is no synchronization with write() anymore, however since the write() update is atomic on 64bit it just behaves like another racy SEEK_SET. On non atomic 32bit it's the same as SEEK_SET. => Don't need a lock, but need to use i_size_read() SEEK_CUR: This has a read-modify-write race window on the same file. One could argue that any application doing unsynchronized seeks on the same file is already broken. But for the sake of not adding a regression here I'm using the file->f_lock to synchronize this. Using this lock is much better than the inode mutex because it doesn't synchronize between processes. => So still need a lock, but can use a f_lock. This patch implements this new scheme in generic_file_llseek. I dropped generic_file_llseek_unlocked and changed all callers.

2011-10-21GFS2: Move readahead of metadata during deallocation into its own functionSteven Whitehouse1-19/+26
Move the recently added readahead of the indirect pointer tree during deallocation into its own function in order that we can use it elsewhere in the future. Also this fixes the resetting of the "first" variable in the original patch. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-10-21GFS2: Remove two unused variablesSteven Whitehouse3-20/+4
The two variables being initialised in gfs2_inplace_reserve to track the file & line number of the caller are never used, so we might as well remove them. If something does go wrong, then a stack trace is probably more useful anyway. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-10-21GFS2: Misc fixesSteven Whitehouse3-8/+8
Some items picked up through automated code analysis. A few bits of unreachable code and two unchecked return values. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-10-21GFS2: rewrite fallocate code to write blocks directlyBenjamin Marzinski3-147/+39
GFS2's fallocate code currently goes through the page cache. Since it's only writing to the end of the file or to holes in it, it doesn't need to, and it was causing issues on low memory environments. This patch pulls in some of Steve's block allocation work, and uses it to simply allocate the blocks for the file, and zero them out at allocation time. It provides a slight performance increase, and it dramatically simplifies the code. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
