2006-04-28[GFS2] Reordering in deallocation to avoid recursive lockingSteven Whitehouse
Despite my earlier careful search, there was a recursive lock left in the deallocation code. This removes it. It also should speed up deallocation be reducing the number of locking operations which take place by using two "try lock" operations on the two locks involved in inode deallocation which allows us to grab the locks out of order (compared with NFS which grabs the inode lock first and the iopen lock later). It is ok for us to fail while doing this since if it does fail it means that someone else is still using the inode and thus it wouldn't be possible to deallocate anyway. This fixes the bug reported to me by Rob Kenna. Cc: Rob Kenna <rkenna@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-03-20[GFS2] Fix bug in directory code and tidy upSteven Whitehouse
Due to a typo, the dir leaf split operation was (for the first split in a directory) writing the new hash vaules at the wrong offset. This is now fixed. Also some other tidy ups are included: - We use GFS2's hash function for dentries (see ops_dentry.c) so that we don't have to keep recalculating the hash values. - A lot of common code is eliminated between the various directory lookup routines. - Better error checking on directory lookup (previously different routines checked for different errors) - The leaf split operation has a couple of redundant operations removed from it, so it should be faster. There is still further scope for further clean ups in the directory code, and readdir in particular could do with slimming down a bit. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-03-01[GFS2] Tidy up mount code.Steven Whitehouse
We no longer lookup ".gfs2_admin" in the root directory in order to find it, but instead use the inode number given in the superblock. Both the root directory and the admin directory are now looked up using the same routine, so the redundant code is removed. Also, there is no longer a reference to the root inode in the GFS2 super block. When required this can be retreived via sb->s_root->d_inode instead. Assuming that we introduce a metadata filesystem type for GFS, then this is a first step towards that goal. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2006-02-13[GFS2] Fix for root inode ref count bugSteven Whitehouse
Umount is now working correctly again. The bug was due to not getting an extra ref count when mounting the fs. We should have bumped it by two (once for the internal pointer to the root inode from the super block and once for the inode hanging off the dcache entry for root). Also this patch tidys up the code dealing with looking up and creating inodes. We now pass Linux inodes (with gfs2_inodes attached) rather than the other way around and this reduces code duplication in various places. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-02-08[GFS2] Make journaled data files identical to normal files on diskSteven Whitehouse
This is a very large patch, with a few still to be resolved issues so you might want to check out the previous head of the tree since this is known to be unstable. Fixes for the various bugs will be forthcoming shortly. This patch removes the special data format which has been used up till now for journaled data files. Directories still retain the old format so that they will remain on disk compatible with earlier releases. As a result you can now do the following with journaled data files: 1) mmap them 2) export them over NFS 3) convert to/from normal files whenever you want to (the zero length restriction is gone) In addition the level at which GFS' locking is done has changed for all files (since they all now use the page cache) such that the locking is done at the page cache level rather than the level of the fs operations. This should mean that things like loopback mounts and other things which touch the page cache directly should now work. Current known issues: 1. There is a lock mode inversion problem related to the resource group hold function which needs to be resolved. 2. Any significant amount of I/O causes an oops with an offset of hex 320 (NULL pointer dereference) which appears to be related to a journaled data buffer appearing on a list where it shouldn't be. 3. Direct I/O writes are disabled for the time being (will reappear later) 4. There is probably a deadlock between the page lock and GFS' locks under certain combinations of mmap and fs operation I/O. 5. Issue relating to ref counting on internally used inodes causes a hang on umount (discovered before this patch, and not fixed by it) 6. One part of the directory metadata is different from GFS1 and will need to be resolved before next release. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-01-30[GFS2] Add gfs2_internal_read()Steven Whitehouse
Add the new external read function. Its temporarily in jdata.c even though the protoype is in ops_file.h - this will change shortly. The current implementation will change to a page cache one when that happens. In order to effect the above changes, the various internal inodes now have Linux inodes attached to them. We keep the references to the Linux inodes, rather than the gfs2_inodes in the super block. In order to get everything to work correctly I've had to reorder the init sequence on mount (which I should probably have done earlier when .gfs2_admin was made visible).
