| * | | [GFS2] Replace rgrp "recent list" with mru listSteven Whitehouse2008-07-103-99/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the "recent list" which is used during allocation and replaces it with the (already existing) mru list used during deletion. The "recent list" was not a true mru list leading to a number of inefficiencies including a "next" function which made scanning the list an order N^2 operation wrt to the number of list elements. This should increase allocation performance with large numbers of rgrps. Its also a useful preparation and cleanup before some further changes which are planned in this area.

| * | | [GFS2] Allow local DF locks when holding a cached EX glockSteven Whitehouse2008-07-071-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We already allow local SH locks while we hold a cached EX glock, so here we allow DF locks as well. This works only because we rely on the VFS's invalidation for locally cached data, and because if we hold an EX lock, then we know that no other node can be caching data relating to this file. It dramatically speeds up initial writes to O_DIRECT files since we fall back to buffered I/O for this and would otherwise bounce between DF and EX modes on each and every write call. The lessons to be learned from that are to ensure that (for the time being anyway) O_DIRECT files are preallocated and that they are written to using reasonably large I/O sizes. Even so this change fixes that corner case nicely Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

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.

It never happens during normal operation anyway 2. If it does happen it causes performance to be very, very poor 3. It isn't likely to solve the original problem (memory shortage on remote DLM node) it was supposed to solve 4. It uses a bunch of arbitrary constants which are unlikely to be correct for any particular situation and for which the tuning seems to be a black art. 5. In an N node cluster, only 1/N of the dropped locked will actually contribute to solving the problem on average. So all in all we are better off without it. This also makes merging the lock_dlm module into GFS2 a bit easier. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
| * | | [GFS2] kernel panic mounting volumeBob Peterson2008-06-271-1/+1

This started with a not-too-improbable mount failure because the locking protocol was never set back to its proper "lock_dlm" after the system was rebooted in the middle of a gfs2_fsck. That left a (purposely) invalid locking protocol in the superblock, which caused an error when the file system was mounted the next time. When there's an error mounting, vfs calls DQUOT_OFF, which calls vfs_quota_off which calls gfs2_sync_fs. Next, gfs2_sync_fs calls gfs2_log_flush passing s_fs_info. But due to the error, s_fs_info had been previously set to NULL, and so we have the kernel oops. My solution in this patch is to test for the NULL value before passing it. I tested this patch and it fixes the problem. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous attempt to fix the locking in readpage failed due to the use of a "try lock" which resulted in occasional high cpu usage during testing (due to repeated tries) and also it did not resolve all the ordering problems wrt the transaction lock (although it did solve all the inode lock ordering problems). This patch avoids the problem by unlocking the page and getting the locks in the correct order. This means that we have to retest the page to ensure that it hasn't changed when we relock the page. This now passes the tests which were previously failing. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

As well as removing some of the overhead of the module, it also means that its now impossible to build GFS2 without a lock module (which would be a pointless thing to do anyway). We also plan to merge lock_dlm into GFS2 in the future, but that is a more tricky task, and will therefore be a separate patch.

Mostly its things moving from one file to another. The change is just that instead of queuing lock completions and callbacks from the DLM we now pass them directly to GFS2. This gives us a net loss of two list heads per glock (a fair saving in memory) plus a reduction in the latency of delivering the messages to GFS2, plus we now have one thread fewer as well. There was a bug where callbacks and completions could be delivered in the wrong order due to this unnecessary queuing which is fixed by this patch.

As a result a lot of code is removed. It looks like a really big change, but actually a large part of this patch is either removing or moving existing code. There are some new bits too though, such as the new run_queue() function which is considerably streamlined. Highlights of this patch include: o Fixes a cluster coherency bug during SH -> EX lock conversions o Removes the "glmutex" code in favour of a single bit lock o Removes the ->go_xmote_bh() for inodes since it was duplicating ->go_lock() o We now only use the ->lm_lock() function for both locks and unlocks (i.e. unlock is a lock with target mode LM_ST_UNLOCKED) o The fast path is considerably shortly, giving performance gains especially with lock_nolock o The glock_workqueue is now used for all the callbacks from the DLM which allows us to simplify the lock_dlm module (see following patch) o The way is now open to make further changes such as eliminating the two threads (gfs2_glockd and gfs2_scand) in favour of a more efficient scheme. This patch has undergone extensive testing with various test suites so it should be pretty stable by now. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>

This causes a number of issues, the biggest of which is that the block allocator needs to be taught that certain inodes can not utilize block numbers > 2**32. So until this is fixed, it is simplest to fail mounting of file systems with more than 2**32 blocks if the -o noextents option is given.

This means with delayed allocation, right after files are copied, "ls -sF" shoes the file as taking 0 blocks on disk. "du" also shows the files taking zero space, which is highly confusing to the user. Since delayed allocation already keeps track of per-inode total number of blocks that are subject to delayed allocation, this patch fix this by using that to adjust the value returned by stat(2). When real block allocation is done, the i_blocks will get updated. Since the reserved blocks for delayed allocation will be decreased, this will be keep value returned by stat(2) consistent.

However, this is didn't work proprely because the buffer head has not been marked dirty yet --- this is done later in block_commit_write() --- which caused ext4_bh_unmapped_or_delay() to always return false. In addition, walk_page_buffers() checks all of the buffer heads covering the page, and the only buffer_head that should be checked is the one covering the end of the write. Otherwise, given a 1k blocksize filesystem and a 4k page size, the buffer head covering the first 1k stripe of the file could be unmapped (because it was a sparse file), and the second or third buffer_head covering that page could be mapped, and using walk_page_buffers() would fail in this case since it would stop at the first unmapped buffer_head and return true. The core problem is that walk_page_buffers() was intended to do work in a callback function, and a non-zero return value indicated a failure, which termined the walk of the buffer heads covering the page. It was not intended to be used with a boolean function, such as ext4_bh_unmapped_or_delay(). Add addtional fix from Aneesh to protect i_disksize update rave with truncate.

In writepage() we just initialize the buffers and check whether they are mapped and non delay. If they are mapped and non delay we write the page. Otherwise we mark them dirty. With this change we don't do block allocation at all in ext4_*_write_page. writepage() can get called under many condition and with a locking order of journal_start -> lock_page, we should not try to allocate blocks in writepage() which get called after taking page lock. writepage() can get called via shrink_page_list even with a journal handle which was created for doing inode update. For example when doing ext4_da_write_begin we create a journal handle with credit 1 expecting a i_disksize update for the inode. But ext4_da_write_begin can cause shrink_page_list via _grab_page_cache. So having a valid handle via ext4_journal_current_handle is not a guarantee that we can use the handle for block allocation in writepage, since we shouldn't be using credits that had been reserved for other updates. That it could result in we running out of credits when we update inodes.

| * | | ext4: Add ordered mode support for delallocAneesh Kumar K.V2008-07-112-10/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides a new ordered mode implementation which gets rid of using buffer heads to enforce the ordering between metadata change with the related data chage. Instead, in the new ordering mode, it keeps track of all of the inodes touched by each transaction on a list, and when that transaction is committed, it flushes all of the dirty pages for those inodes. In addition, the new ordered mode reverses the lock ordering of the page lock and transaction lock, which provides easier support for delayed allocation.

At the writepage time, the unused reserved meta blocks are returned back. At unlink/truncate time, reserved blocks are properly released.

This enables us to get rid of the journal heads and buffer heads for data buffers in the ordered mode. With the changes, during tranasaction commit we writeout the inode pages using the writepages()/writepage(). That implies we take page lock during transaction commit. This can cause a deadlock with the locking order page_lock -> jbd2_journal_start, since the jbd2_journal_start can wait for the journal_commit to happen and the journal_commit now needs to take the page lock. To avoid this dead lock reverse the locking order.
