* GFS2: Fix glock refcount issuesSteven Whitehouse2009-12-031-13/+8Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes some ref counting issues. Firstly by moving the point at which we drop the ref count after a dlm lock operation has completed we ensure that we never call gfs2_glock_hold() on a lock with a zero ref count. Secondly, by using atomic_dec_and_lock() in gfs2_glock_put() we ensure that at no time will a glock with zero ref count appear on the lru_list. That means that we can remove the check for this in our shrinker (which was racy). Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

* GFS2: drop rindex glock to refresh rindex listBenjamin Marzinski2009-12-031-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | When a gfs2 filesystem is grown, it needs to rebuild the rindex list to be able to use the new space. gfs2 does this when the rindex is marked not uptodate, which happens when the rindex glock is dropped. However, on a single node setup, there is never any reason to drop the rindex glock, so gfs2 never invalidates the the rindex. This patch makes gfs2 automatically drop the rindex glock after filesystem grows, so it can refresh the rindex list.

* GFS2: Tag all metadata with jidSteven Whitehouse2009-12-034-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two spare field in the header common to all GFS2 metadata. One is just the right size to fit a journal id in it, and this patch updates the journal code so that each time a metadata block is modified, we tag it with the journal id of the node which is performing the modification. The reason for this is that it should make it much easier to debug issues which arise if we can tell which node was the last to modify a particular metadata block. Since the field is updated before the block is written into the journal, each journal should only contain metadata which is tagged with its own journal id. The one exception to this is the journal header block, which might have a different node's id in it, if that journal was recovered by another node in the cluster. Thus each journal will contain a record of which nodes recovered it, via the journal header. The other field in the metadata header could potentially be used to hold information about what kind of operation was performed, but for the time being we just zero it on each transaction so that if we use it for that in future, we'll know that the information (where it exists) is reliable. I did consider using the other field to hold the journal sequence number, however since in GFS2's journaling we write the modified data into the journal and not the original data, this gives no information as to what action caused the modification, so I think we can probably come up with a better use for those 64 bits in the future.

* GFS2: Improve statfs and quota usabilityBenjamin Marzinski2009-12-035-10/+100
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | GFS2 now has three new mount options, statfs_quantum, quota_quantum and statfs_percent. statfs_quantum and quota_quantum simply allow you to set the tunables of the same name. Setting setting statfs_quantum to 0 will also turn on the statfs_slow tunable. statfs_percent accepts an integer between 0 and 100. Numbers between 1 and 100 will cause GFS2 to do any early sync when the local number of blocks free changes by at least statfs_percent from the totoal number of blocks free. Setting statfs_percent to 0 disables this. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

* GFS2: Fix -o meta mounts for subsequent mounts (i.e. all but the first one)Steven Whitehouse2009-12-033-26/+127
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have a long term plan to use the "-o meta" flag to GFS2 mounts to access the alternate root which is used to store metadata for a GFS2 filesystem. This will allow us to eventually remove support for the gfs2meta filesystem type (which is in any case just a "front end" to the gfs2 filesystem type with the meta/master root). Currently the "-o meta" option is only taken into account on the initial mount of the filesystem. Subsequent mounts of the same filesystem (i.e. on the same device) result in basically the same as bind mounting the root of the original mount. This patch changes that by using what is more or less a copy of get_sb_bdev() and extending it so that it will take into account the alternate root in all cases. The main difference is that we have to parse the mount options a bit earlier. We can then use them to select the appropriate root towards the end of the function. In addition this also fixes a bug where it was possible (but certainly not desirable) to set different ro/rw options for the meta root when mounted via the gfs2meta fs compared with the original mount.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a potential race in the inode deallocation code if two nodes try to deallocate the same inode at the same time. Most of the issue is solved by the iopen locking. There is still a small window which is not covered by the iopen lock. This patches fixes that and also makes the deallocation code more robust in the face of any errors in the rgrp bitmaps, or erroneous iopen callbacks from other nodes. This does introduce one extra disk read, but that is generally not an issue since its the same block that must be written to later in the deallocation process. The total disk accesses therefore stay the same, Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The inum structure used throughout GFS2 has two fields. One no_addr is the disk block number of the inode in question and is used everywhere as the inode number. The other, no_formal_ino, is used only as the generation number for NFS. Historically the no_formal_ino field was set using a complicated system of one global and one per-node file containing inode numbers in order to ensure that each no_formal_ino was unique. Also this code made no provision for what would happen when eventually the (64 bit) numbers ran out. Now I know that is pretty unlikely to happen given the large space of numbers, but it is possible nevertheless. The only guarantee required for no_formal_ino is that, for any single inode, the same number doesn't get reused too quickly. We already have a generation number which is kept in the inode and initialised from a counter in the resource group (almost no overhead, since we have to touch the resource group anyway in order to allocate an inode in the first place). Aside from ensuring that we never use the value 0 in the no_formal_ino field, we can use that counter directly. As a result of that change, we lose about 200 lines of code and also gain about 10 creates/sec on the postmark benchmark (on my test machine). Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

If this happens, gfs2 will be unable to free this file on disk. Because of this, it's possible to have a gfs2 filesystem with no files on it and no free space. With this patch, when a node receives a callback notifying it that the file is being deleted on another node, it schedules a new workqueue thread to remove the file's dcache entry. ---end cut--- after applying Benjamin's patch, I think there is still a case in which the disk inode remains even when "no space" is hit. the case is that when running d_prune_aliases() against the inode, there are one or more dentries(aliases) which have reference count number > 0. in this case the dentries won't be pruned. and even later, the reference count becomes to 0, the dentries can still be cached in memory. unfortunately, no callback come again, things come back to the state before the callback runs. thus the on disk inode remains there until in memoryinode is removed for some other reason(shrinking inode cache or unmount the volume..). this patch is to remove those dentries when their reference count becomes to 0 and the inode is deleted by remote node. for implementation, gfs2_dentry_delete() is added as dentry_operations.d_delete. the function returns true when the inode is deleted by remote node. in dput(), gfs2_dentry_delete() is called and since it returns true, the dentry is unhashed from dcache and then removed. when all dentries are removed, the in memory inode get removed so that the on disk inode is freed.

* | GFS2: Add sysfs link to deviceSteven Whitehouse2009-08-171-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a link from the per-gfs2 sb sysfs directory to the block device upon which the filesystem is mounted. The link is called "device", strangely enough :-) Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* | GFS2: Replace assertion with proper error handlingSteven Whitehouse2009-08-171-1/+3

* | GFS2: Improve error handling in inode allocationSteven Whitehouse2009-08-173-13/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A little while back, block allocation was given some improved error handling which meant that -EIO was returned in the case of there being a problem in the resource group data. In addition a message is printed explaning what went wrong and how to fix it. This extends that error handling so that it also covers inode allocation too.
