* ocfs2: make append_dio an incompat featureMark Fasheh2015-03-121-7/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that making this feature ro_compat isn't quite enough to prevent accidental corruption on mount from older kernels. Ocfs2 (like other file systems) will process orphaned inodes even when the user mounts in 'ro' mode. So for the case of a filesystem not knowing the append_dio feature, mounting the filesystem could result in orphaned-for-dio files being deleted, which we clearly don't want. So instead, turn this into an incompat flag. Btw, this is kind of my fault - initially I asked that we add a flag to cover the feature and even suggested that we use an ro flag. It wasn't until I was looking through our commits for v4.0-rc1 that I realized we actually want this to be incompat.

* ocfs2: add functions to add and remove inode in orphan dirJoseph Qi2015-02-161-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add functions to add inode to orphan dir and remove inode in orphan dir. Here we do not call ocfs2_prepare_orphan_dir and ocfs2_orphan_add directly. Because append O_DIRECT will add inode to orphan two and may result in more than one orphan entry for the same inode.

* ocfs2: Fix system inodes cache overflow.Tao Ma2010-12-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we store system inodes cache in ocfs2_super, we use a array for global system inodes.

* | ocfs2: Cache system inodes of other slots.Tao Ma2010-09-101-0/+5
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Durring orphan scan, if we are slot 0, and we are replaying orphan_dir:0001, the general process is that for every file in this dir: 1. we will iget orphan_dir:0001, since there is no inode for it. we will have to create an inode and read it from the disk. 2. do the normal work, such as delete_inode and remove it from the dir if it is allowed. 3. call iput orphan_dir:0001 when we are done. In this case, since we have no dcache for this inode, i_count will reach 0, and VFS will have to call clear_inode and in ocfs2_clear_inode we will checkpoint the inode which will let ocfs2_cmt and journald begin to work. 4. We loop back to 1 for the next file. So you see, actually for every deleted file, we have to read the orphan dir from the disk and checkpoint the journal. It is very time consuming and cause a lot of journal checkpoint I/O. A better solution is that we can have another reference for these inodes in ocfs2_super. So if there is no other race among nodes(which will let dlmglue to checkpoint the inode), for step 3, clear_inode won't be called and for step 1, we may only need to read the inode for the 1st time. This is a big win for us. So this patch will try to cache system inodes of other slots so that we will have one more reference for these inodes and avoid the extra inode read and journal checkpoint.

* ocfs2: increase the default size of local alloc windowsMark Fasheh2010-05-051-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have observed that the current size of 8M gives us pretty poor fragmentation on multi-threaded workloads which do lots of writes. Generally, I can increase the size of local alloc windows and observe a marked decrease in fragmentation, even up and beyond window sizes of 512 megabytes. This makes sense for a couple reasons - larger local alloc means more room for reservation windows. On multi-node workloads the larger local alloc helps as well because we don't have to do window slides as often. Also, I removed the OCFS2_DEFAULT_LOCAL_ALLOC_SIZE constant as it is no longer used and the comment above it was out of date. To test fragmentation, I used a workload which launched 4 threads that did 4k writes into a series of about 140 alternating files. With resv_level=2, and a 4k/4k file system I observed the following average fragmentation for various localalloc= parameters: localalloc= avg. fragmentation 8 48 32 16 64 10 120 7 On larger cluster sizes, the difference is more dramatic. The new default size top out at 256M, which we'll only get for cluster sizes of 32K and above. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we were adding ioctl cmds/structures for ocfs2 into ocfs2_fs.h which was used for define ocfs2 on-disk layout. That sounds a little bit confusing, and it may be quickly polluted espcially when growing the ocfs2_info_request ioctls afterwards(it will grow i bet). As a result, such OCFS2 IOCs do need to be placed somewhere other than ocfs2_fs.h, a separated ocfs2_ioctl.h will be added to store such ioctl structures and definitions which could also be used from userspace to invoke ioctls call.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes use of Ocfs2's flexible btree code to add an additional tree to directory inodes. The new tree stores an array of small, fixed-length records in each leaf block. Each record stores a hash value, and pointer to a block in the traditional (unindexed) directory tree where a dirent with the given name hash resides. Lookup exclusively uses this tree to find dirents, thus providing us with constant time name lookups. Some of the hashing code was copied from ext3. Unfortunately, it has lots of unfixed checkpatch errors. I left that as-is so that tracking changes would be easier.

We only have to provide functions to convert structures from on-disk format to in-memory one. We also have to provide wrappers for various quota functions starting transactions and acquiring necessary cluster locks before the actual IO is really started.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ocfs2 breaks up xattr index tree leaves into 4k regions, called buckets. Attributes are stored within a given bucket, depending on hash value. After a discussion with Mark, we decided that the per-bucket index (xe_entry[]) would only exist in the 1st block of a bucket. Likewise, name/value pairs will not straddle more than one block. This allows the majority of operations to work directly on the buffer heads in a leaf block. This patch adds code to iterate the buckets in an EA. A new abstration of ocfs2_xattr_bucket is added. It records the bhs in this bucket and ocfs2_xattr_header. This keeps the code neat, improving readibility. Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <tao.ma@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ocfs2 uses a very flexible structure for storing extended attributes on disk. Small amount of attributes are stored directly in the inode block - up to 256 bytes worth. If that fills up, attributes are also stored in an external block, linked to from the inode block. That block can in turn expand to a btree, capable of storing large numbers of attributes. Individual attribute values are stored inline if they're small enough (currently about 80 bytes, this can be changed though), and otherwise are expanded to a btree. The theoretical limit to the size of an individual attribute is about the same as an inode, though the kernel's upper bound on the size of an attributes data is far smaller.

* ocfs2: Add the USERSPACE_STACK incompat bit.Joel Becker2008-04-181-2/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The filesystem gains the USERSPACE_STACK incomat bit and the s_cluster_info field on the superblock. When a userspace stack is in use, the name of the stack is stored on-disk for mount-time verification. The "cluster_stack" option is added to mount(2) processing. The mount process needs to pass the matching stack name. If the passed name and the on-disk name do not match, the mount is failed. When using the classic o2cb stack, the incompat bit is *not* set and no mount option is used other than the usual heartbeat=local. Thus, the filesystem is compatible with older tools.

The new slot map format provides 32bit node numbers (UINT32_MAX), a separate space to mark a slot in use, and extra room to grow. The slot map is now bounded by i_size, not a block.
