2010-05-10GFS2: Fix writing to non-page aligned gfs2_quota structuresAbhijith Das1-25/+61
This is the upstream fix for this bug. This patch differs from the RHEL5 fix (Red Hat bz #555754) which simply writes to the 8-byte value field of the quota. In upstream quota code, we're required to write the entire quota (88 bytes) which can be split across a page boundary. We check for such quotas, and read/write the two parts from/to the corresponding pages holding these parts. With this patch, I don't see the bug anymore using the reproducer in Red Hat bz 555754. I successfully ran a couple of simple tests/mounts/ umounts and it doesn't seem like this patch breaks anything else.

2010-05-05GFS2: Various gfs2_logd improvementsBenjamin Marzinski9-92/+126
This patch contains various tweaks to how log flushes and active item writeback work. gfs2_logd is now managed by a waitqueue, and gfs2_log_reseve now waits for gfs2_logd to do the log flushing. Multiple functions were rewritten to remove the need to call gfs2_log_lock(). Instead of using one test to see if gfs2_logd had work to do, there are now seperate tests to check if there are two many buffers in the incore log or if there are two many items on the active items list. This patch is a port of a patch Steve Whitehouse wrote about a year ago, with some minor changes. Since gfs2_ail1_start always submits all the active items, it no longer needs to keep track of the first ai submitted, so this has been removed. In gfs2_log_reserve(), the order of the calls to prepare_to_wait_exclusive() and wake_up() when firing off the logd thread has been switched. If it called wake_up first there was a small window for a race, where logd could run and return before gfs2_log_reserve was ready to get woken up. If gfs2_logd ran, but did not free up enough blocks, gfs2_log_reserve() would be left waiting for gfs2_logd to eventualy run because it timed out. Finally, gt_logd_secs, which controls how long to wait before gfs2_logd times out, and flushes the log, can now be set on mount with ar_commit.

This patch fixes a couple gfs2 problems with the reclaiming of unlinked dinodes. First, there were a couple of livelocks where everything would come to a halt waiting for a glock that was seemingly held by a process that no longer existed. In fact, the process did exist, it just had the wrong pid number in the holder information. Second, there was a lock ordering problem between inode locking and glock locking. Third, glock/inode contention could sometimes cause inodes to be improperly marked invalid by iget_failed. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>
2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.hTejun Heo8-6/+3
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-11GFS2: Allow the number of committed revokes to temporarily be negativeBenjamin Marzinski2-3/+2
GFS2 tracks the number of revokes and unrevokes that are part of committed transactions via sd_log_commited_revoke. It is possible for one process to add revokes during its transaction, while another process unrevokes them during its transaction. If the second process finishes its transaction first, sd_log_commited_revoke will be decremented by the number of unrevokes that the second process did, without first being incremented by the number of revokes the first process did. This is fine, since all started transactions must be completed before the journal can be flushed. However, sd_log_commited_revoke is an unsigned integer, and log_refund() causes an assertion failure if it would go negative at the end of a transaction. This patch makes sd_log_commited_revoke a signed integer and allows it to go negative. __gfs2_log_flush() still checks that it mataches the actual number of revokes.

2010-03-01GFS2: ordered writes are backwardsDave Chinner1-2/+2
When we queue data buffers for ordered write, the buffers are added to the head of the ordered write list. When the log needs to push these buffers to disk, it also walks the list from the head. The result is that the the ordered buffers are submitted to disk in reverse order. For large writes, this means that whenever the log flushes large streams of reverse sequential order buffers are pushed down into the block layers. The elevators don't handle this particularly well, so IO rates tend to be significantly lower than if the IO was issued in ascending block order. Queue new ordered buffers to the tail of the ordered buffer list to ensure that IO is dispatched in the order it was submitted. This should significantly improve large sequential write speeds. On a disk capable of 85MB/s, speeds increase from 50MB/s to 65MB/s for noop and from 38MB/s to 50MB/s for cfq.

2010-03-01GFS2: Metadata address space clean upSteven Whitehouse13-95/+101
Since the start of GFS2, an "extra" inode has been used to store the metadata belonging to each inode. The only reason for using this inode was to have an extra address space, the other fields were unused. This means that the memory usage was rather inefficient. The reason for keeping each inode's metadata in a separate address space is that when glocks are requested on remote nodes, we need to be able to efficiently locate the data and metadata which relating to that glock (inode) in order to sync or sync and invalidate it (depending on the remotely requested lock mode). This patch adds a new type of glock, which has in addition to its normal fields, has an address space. This applies to all inode and rgrp glocks (but to no other glock types which remain as before). As a result, we no longer need to have the second inode. This results in three major improvements: 1. A saving of approx 25% of memory used in caching inodes 2. A removal of the circular dependency between inodes and glocks 3. No confusion between "normal" and "metadata" inodes in super.c Although the first of these is the more immediately apparent, the second is just as important as it now enables a number of clean ups at umount time. Those will be the subject of future patches. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2010-02-03GFS2: Extend umount wait coverage to full glock lifetimeSteven Whitehouse5-7/+17
Although all glocks are, by the time of the umount glock wait, scheduled for demotion, some of them haven't made it far enough through the process for the original set of waiting code to wait for them. This extends the ref count to the whole glock lifetime in order to ensure that the waiting does catch all glocks. It does make it a bit more invasive, but it seems the only sensible solution at the moment. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2010-02-03GFS2: Wait for unlock completion on umountSteven Whitehouse4-1/+13
This patch adds a wait on umount between the point at which we dispose of all glocks and the point at which we unmount the lock protocol. This ensures that we've received all the replies to our unlock requests before we stop the locking. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Reported-by: Fabio M.

2010-02-01GFS2: Don't withdraw on partial rindex entriesBenjamin Marzinski1-5/+0
ince gfs2 writes the rindex file a block at a time, and releases the exclusive lock after each block, it is possible that another process will grab the lock in the middle of the write. Since rindex entries are not an even divisor of blocks, that other process may see partial entries. On grows, this is fine. The process can simply ignore the the partial entires. Previously, the code withdrew when it saw partial entries. Now it simply ignores them. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
