2009-08-26GFS2: Rename eattr.[ch] as xattr.[ch]Steven Whitehouse

2009-08-26GFS2: Clean up of extended attribute supportSteven Whitehouse
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.

2009-04-15GFS2: Fix symlink creation raceSteven Whitehouse
In certain cases symlinks can appear to have zero size if a lookup on the inode occurs within a certain (very short) time after the symlink has been created. The symlink is correctly created on disk but appears to have zero size when stat()ed. This patch closes the race and prevents incorrect sizes appearing.

2009-03-24GFS2: Merge lock_dlm module into GFS2Steven Whitehouse
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.

2009-01-05GFS2: Banish struct gfs2_dinode_hostSteven Whitehouse
The final field in gfs2_dinode_host was the i_flags field. Thats renamed to i_diskflags in order to avoid confusion with the existing inode flags, and moved into the inode proper at a suitable location to avoid creating a "hole". At that point struct gfs2_dinode_host is no longer needed and as promised (quite some time ago!) it can now be removed completely. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-01-05GFS2: Move i_size from gfs2_dinode_host and rename it to i_disksizeSteven Whitehouse

2009-01-05GFS2: Move "entries" into "proper" inodeSteven Whitehouse

2009-01-05GFS2: Support for FIEMAP ioctlSteven Whitehouse
This patch implements the FIEMAP ioctl for GFS2. We can use the generic code (aside from a lock order issue, solved as per Ted Tso's suggestion) for which I've introduced a new variant of the generic function. We also have one exception to deal with, namely stuffed files, so we do that "by hand", setting all the required flags. This has been tested with a modified (I could only find an old version) of Eric's test program, and appears to work correctly. This patch does not currently support FIEMAP of xattrs, but the plan is to add that feature at some future point.

2008-08-27GFS2: Fix & clean up GFS2 renameSteven Whitehouse
This patch fixes a locking issue in the rename code by ensuring that we hold the per sb rename lock over both directory and "other" renames which involve different parent directories. At the same time, this moved the (only called from one place) function gfs2_ok_to_move into the file that its called from, so we can mark it static. This should make a code a bit easier to follow.

2008-07-03[GFS2] don't call permission()Miklos Szeredi
GFS2 calls permission() to verify permissions after locks on the files have been taken. For this it's sufficient to call gfs2_permission() instead. This results in the following changes: - IS_RDONLY() check is not performed - IS_IMMUTABLE() check is not performed - devcgroup_inode_permission() is not called - security_inode_permission() is not called IS_RDONLY() should be unnecessary anyway, as the per-mount read-only flag should provide protection against read-only remounts during operations. do_gfs2_set_flags() has been fixed to perform mnt_want_write()/mnt_drop_write() to protect against remounting read-only. IS_IMMUTABLE has been added to gfs2_permission() Repeating the security checks seems to be pointless, as they don't normally change, and if they do, it's independent of the filesystem state.

2008-03-31[GFS2] Streamline quota lock/check for no-quota caseSteven Whitehouse
This patch streamlines the quota checking in the "no quota" case by making the check inline in the calling function, thus reducing the number of function calls. Eventually we might be able to remove the checks from the gfs2_quota_lock() and gfs2_quota_check() functions, but currently we can't as there are a very few places in the code which need to call these functions directly still.

2008-03-31[GFS2] Fix a page lock / glock deadlockSteven Whitehouse
We've previously been using a "try lock" in readpage on the basis that it would prevent deadlocks due to the inverted lock ordering (our normal lock ordering is glock first and then page lock). Unfortunately tests have shown that this isn't enough. If the glock has a demote request queued such that run_queue() in the glock code tries to do a demote when its called under readpage then it will try and write out all the dirty pages which requires locking them. This then deadlocks with the page locked by readpage. The solution is to always require two calls into readpage. The first unlocks the page, gets the glock and returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, the second does the actual readpage and unlocks the glock & page as required.

2008-03-31[GFS2] Eliminate (almost) duplicate field from gfs2_inodeSteven Whitehouse
The blocks counter is almost a duplicate of the i_blocks field in the VFS inode. The only difference is that i_blocks can be only 32bits long for 32bit arch without large single file support. Since GFS2 doesn't handle the non-large single file case (for 32 bit anyway) this adds a new config dependency on 64BIT || LSF. This has always been the case, however we've never explicitly said so before. Even if we do add support for the non-LSF case, we will still not require this field to be duplicated since we will not be able to access oversized files anyway. So the net result of all this is that we shave 8 bytes from a gfs2_inode and get our config deps correct. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2008-01-25[GFS2] Reduce inode size by moving i_alloc out of lineSteven Whitehouse
It is possible to reduce the size of GFS2 inodes by taking the i_alloc structure out of the gfs2_inode. This patch allocates the i_alloc structure whenever its needed, and frees it afterward. This decreases the amount of low memory we use at the expense of requiring a memory allocation for each page or partial page that we write. A quick test with postmark shows that the overhead is not measurable and I also note that OCFS2 use the same approach. In the future I'd like to solve the problem by shrinking down the size of the members of the i_alloc structure, but for now, this reduces the immediate problem of using too much low-memory on x86 and doesn't add too much overhead.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Fix problems relating to execution of files on GFS2Steven Whitehouse
This patch fixes a couple of problems which affected the execution of files on GFS2. The first is that there was a corner case where inodes were not always uptodate at the point at which permissions checks were being carried out, this was resulting in refusal of execute permission, but only on the first lookup, subsequent requests worked correctly. The second was a problem relating to incorrect updating of file sizes which was introduced with the write_begin/end code for GFS2 a little while back.

2007-10-10[GFS2] Clean up journaled data writingSteven Whitehouse
This patch cleans up the code for writing journaled data into the log. It also removes the need to allocate a small "tag" structure for each block written into the log. Instead we just keep count of the outstanding I/O so that we can be sure that its all been written at the correct time. Another result of this patch is that a number of ll_rw_block() calls have become submit_bh() calls, closing some races at the same time. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2007-07-09[GFS2] inode size inconsistencyWendy Cheng
This should have been part of the NFS patch #1 but somehow I missed it when packaging the patches. It is not a critical issue as the others (I hope). RHEL 5.1 31.el5 kernel runs fine without this change. Our truncate code is chopped into two parts, one for vfs inode changes (in vmtruncate()) and one of gfs inode (in gfs2_truncatei()). These two operatons are, unfortunately, not atomic. So it could happens that vmtruncate() succeeds (inode->i_size is changed) but gfs2_truncatei fails (say kernel temporarily out of memory). This would leave gfs inode i_di.di_size out of sync with vfs inode i_size. It will later confuse gfs2_commit_write() if a write is issued. Last time I checked, it will cause file corruption.

2007-07-09[GFS2] Add nanosecond timestamp featureSteven Whitehouse
This adds a nanosecond timestamp feature to the GFS2 filesystem. Due to the way that the on-disk format works, older filesystems will just appear to have this field set to zero. When mounted by an older version of GFS2, the filesystem will simply ignore the extra fields so that it will again appear to have whole second resolution, so that its trivially backward compatible.

2007-07-09[GFS2] Fix sign problem in quota/statfs and cleanup _host structuresSteven Whitehouse
This patch fixes some sign issues which were accidentally introduced into the quota & statfs code during the endianess annotation process. Also included is a general clean up which moves all of the _host structures out of gfs2_ondisk.h (where they should not have been to start with) and into the places where they are actually used (often only one place). Also those _host structures which are not required any more are removed entirely (which is the eventual plan for all of them). The conversion routines from ondisk.c are also moved into the places where they are actually used, which for almost every one, was just one single place, so all those are now static functions. This also cleans up the end of gfs2_ondisk.h which no longer needs the #ifdef __KERNEL__. The net result is a reduction of about 100 lines of code, many functions now marked static plus the bug fixes as mentioned above. For good measure I ran the code through sparse after making these changes to check that there are no warnings generated. This fixes Red Hat bz #239686 Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-07-09[GFS2] Clean up inode number handlingSteven Whitehouse
This patch cleans up the inode number handling code. The main difference is that instead of looking up the inodes using a struct gfs2_inum_host we now use just the no_addr member of this structure. The tests relating to no_formal_ino can then be done by the calling code. This has advantages in that we want to do different things in different code paths if the no_formal_ino doesn't match. In the NFS patch we want to return -ESTALE, but in the ->lookup() path, its a bug in the fs if the no_formal_ino doesn't match and thus we can withdraw in this case. In order to later fix bz #201012, we need to be able to look up an inode without knowing no_formal_ino, as the only information that is known to us is the on-disk location of the inode in question. This patch will also help us to fix bz #236099 at a later date by cleaning up a lot of the code in that area. There are no user visible changes as a result of this patch and there are no changes to the on-disk format either. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.

2007-02-05[GFS2] Fix unlink deadlocksRussell Cattelan
Move the glock acquisition to outside of the transactions. Lock odering must be preserved in order to prevent ABBA deadlocks. The current gfs2_change_nlink code would tries to grab the glock after having started a transaction and thus is holding the log lock. This is inconsistent with other code paths in gfs that grab the resource group glock prior to staring a tranactions. One problem with this fix is that the resource group lock is always grabbed now even if the inode still has ref count and can not be marked for unlink.
