2007-02-07ocfs2_dlm: disallow a domain join if node maps mismatchSrinivas Eeda3-1/+62
There is a small window where a joining node may not see the node(s) that just died but are still part of the domain. To fix this, we must disallow join requests if the joining node has a different node map. A new field node_map is added to dlm_query_join_request to send the current nodes nodemap along with join request. On the receiving end the nodes that are part of the cluster verifies if this new node sees all the nodes that are still part of the cluster. They disallow the join if the maps mismatch.

2007-02-07ocfs2_dlm: Ensure correct ordering of set/clear refmap bit on lockresSunil Mushran2-11/+94
Eventhough the set refmap bit message is sent before the clear refmap message, currently there is no guarentee that the set message will be handled before the clear. This patch prevents the clear refmap to be processed while the node is sending assert master messages to other nodes. (The set refmap message is sent as a response to the assert master request).

Currently o2net allows one handler function per message type. This patch adds the ability to call another function to be called after the handler has returned the message to the other node.

2007-02-07ocfs2_dlm: Cookies in locks not being printed correctly in error messagesKurt Hackel5-25/+26
The dlm encodes the node number and a sequence number in the lock cookie. It also stores the cookie in the lockres in the big endian format to avoid swapping 8 bytes on each lock request. The bug here was that it was assuming the cookie to be in the cpu format when decoding it for printing the error message. This patch swaps the bytes before the print.

2007-02-06[GFS2] nfsd readdirplus assertion failureWendy Cheng1-5/+11
Glock assertion failure found in '07 NFS connectathon. One of the NFSDs is doing a "readdirplus" procedure call. It passes the logic into gfs2_readdir() where it obtains its directory inode glock. This is then followed by filehandle construction that invokes lookup code. It hits the assertion failure while trying to obtain the inode glock again inside gfs2_drevalidate().

2007-02-05[GFS2] Fix unlink deadlocksRussell Cattelan2-53/+40
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.

2007-02-05[GFS2] Put back semaphore to avoid umount problemSteven Whitehouse1-0/+6
Dave Teigland fixed this bug a while back, but I managed to mistakenly remove the semaphore during later development. It is required to avoid the list of inodes changing during an invalidate_inodes call. I have made it an rwsem since the read side will be taken frequently during normal filesystem operation. The write site will only happen during umount of the file system. Also the bug only triggers when using the DLM lock manager and only then under certain conditions as its timing related.

2007-02-05[GFS2] Fix list corruption in lops.cSteven Whitehouse1-3/+11
The patch below appears to fix the list corruption that we are seeing on occasion. Although the transaction structure is private to a single thread, when the queued structures are dismantled during an in-core commit, its possible for a different thread to be trying to add the same structure to another, new, transaction at the same time. To avoid this, this patch takes the log spinlock during this operation. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2007-02-05[DLM] can miss clearing resend flagDavid Teigland1-0/+6
A long, complicated sequence of events, beginning with the RESEND flag not being cleared on an lkb, can result in an unlock never completing. - lkb on waiters list for remote lookup - the remote node is both the dir node and the master node, so it optimizes the lookup into a request and sends a request reply back - the request reply is saved on the requestqueue to be processed after recovery - recovery runs dlm_recover_waiters_pre() which sets RESEND flag so the lookup will be resent after recovery - end of recovery: process_requestqueue takes saved request reply which removes the lkb off the waitesr list, _without_ clearing the RESEND flag - end of recovery: dlm_recover_waiters_post() doesn't do anything with the now completed lookup lkb (would usually clear RESEND) - later, the node unmounts, unlocks this lkb that still has RESEND flag set - the lkb is on the waiters list again, now for unlock, when recovery occurs, dlm_recover_waiters_pre() shows the lkb for unlock with RESEND set, doesn't do anything since the master still exists - end of recovery: dlm_recover_waiters_post() takes this lkb off the waiters list because it has the RESEND flag set, then reports an error because unlocks are never supposed to be handled in recover_waiters_post(). - later, the unlock reply is received, doesn't find the lkb on the waiters list because recover_waiters_post() has wrongly removed it. - the unlock operation has been lost, and we're left with a stray granted lock - unmount spins waiting for the unlock to complete The visible evidence of this problem will be a node where gfs umount is spinning, the dlm waiters list will be empty, and the dlm locks list will show a granted lock. The fix is simply to clear the RESEND flag when taking an lkb off the waiters list. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-02-05[DLM] saved dlm message can be droppedDavid Teigland1-2/+2
dlm_receive_message() returns 0 instead of returning 'error'. What would happen is that process_requestqueue would take a saved message off the requestqueue and call receive_message on it. receive_message would then see that recovery had been aborted, set error to EINTR, and 'goto out', expecting that the error would be returned. Instead, 0 was always returned, so process_requestqueue would think that the message had been processed and delete it instead of saving it to process next time. This means the message (usually an unlock in my tests) would be lost. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2007-02-05[GFS2] Tidy up glops callsSteven Whitehouse4-77/+59
This patch doesn't make any changes to the ordering of the various operations related to glocking, but it does tidy up the calls to the glops.c functions to make the structure more obvious. The two functions: gfs2_glock_xmote_th() and gfs2_glock_drop_th() can be made static within glock.c since they are called by every set of glock operations. The xmote_th and drop_th glock operations are then made conditional upon those two routines existing and called from the previously mentioned functions in glock.c respectively. Also it can be seen that the go_sync operation isn't needed since it can easily be replaced by calls to xmote_bh and drop_bh respectively. This results in no longer (confusingly) calling back into routines in glock.c from glops.c and also reducing the glock operations by one member. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2007-02-05[GFS2] Remove local exclusive glock modeSteven Whitehouse5-24/+9
Here is a patch for GFS2 to remove the local exclusive flag. In the places it was used, mutex's are always held earlier in the call path, so it appears redundant in the LM_ST_SHARED case. Also, the GFS2 holders were setting local exclusive in any case where the requested lock was LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE. So the other places in the glock code where the flag was tested have been replaced with tests for the lock state being LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE in order to ensure the logic is the same as before (i.e. LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE is always locally exclusive as well as globally exclusive).

2007-02-05[GFS2] Remove the "greedy" function from glock.[ch]Steven Whitehouse8-171/+2
The "greedy" code was an attempt to retain glocks for a minimum length of time when they relate to mmap()ed files. The current implementation of this feature is not, however, ideal in that it required allocating memory in order to do this and its overly complicated. It also misses the mark by ignoring the other I/O operations which are just as likely to suffer from the same problem. So the plan is to remove this now and then add the functionality back as part of the glock state machine at a later date (and thus take into account all the possible users of this feature) Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-02-05[GFS2] Shrink gfs2_inode memory by halfSteven Whitehouse2-24/+44
Here is something I spotted (while looking for something entirely different) the other day. Rather than using a completion in each and every struct gfs2_holder, this removes it in favour of hashed wait queues, thus saving a considerable amount of memory both on the stack (where a number of gfs2_holder structures are allocated) and in particular in the gfs2_inode which has 8 gfs2_holder structures embedded within it. As a result on x86_64 the gfs2_inode shrinks from 2488 bytes to 1912 bytes, a saving of 576 bytes per inode (no thats not a typo!). In actual practice we get a much better result than that since now that a gfs2_inode is under the 2048 byte barrier, we get two per 4k slab page effectively halving the amount of memory required to store gfs2_inodes.
