2011-02-16workqueue, freezer: unify spelling of 'freeze' + 'able' to 'freezable'Tejun Heo
There are two spellings in use for 'freeze' + 'able' - 'freezable' and 'freezeable'. The former is the more prominent one. The latter is mostly used by workqueue and in a few other odd places. Unify the spelling to 'freezable'. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reported-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Acked-by: "Rafael J.

2011-01-18GFS2: Fix error path in gfs2_lookup_by_inum()Steven Whitehouse
In the (impossible, except if there is fs corruption) error path in gfs2_lookup_by_inum() if the call to gfs2_inode_refresh() fails, it was leaving the function by calling iput() rather than iget_failed(). This would cause future lookups of the same inode to block forever. This patch fixes the problem by moving the call to gfs2_inode_refresh() into gfs2_inode_lookup() where iget_failed() is part of the error path already. Also this cleans up some unreachable code and makes gfs2_set_iop() static. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-01-18GFS2: remove iopen glocks from cache on failed deletesBenjamin Marzinski
When a file gets deleted on GFS2, if a node can't get an exclusive lock on the file's iopen glock, it punts on actually freeing up the space, because another node is using the file. When it does this, it needs to drop the iopen glock from its cache so that the other node can get an exclusive lock on it. Now, gfs2_delete_inode() sets GL_NOCACHE before dropping the shared lock on the iopen glock in preparation for grabbing it in the exclusive state. Since the node needs the glock in the exclusive state, dropping the shared lock from the cache doesn't slow down the case where no other nodes are using the file.

2011-01-17fallocate should be a file operationChristoph Hellwig
Currently all filesystems except XFS implement fallocate asynchronously, while XFS forced a commit. Both of these are suboptimal - in case of O_SYNC I/O we really want our allocation on disk, especially for the !KEEP_SIZE case where we actually grow the file with user-visible zeroes. On the other hand always commiting the transaction is a bad idea for fast-path uses of fallocate like for example in recent Samba versions. Given that block allocation is a data plane operation anyway change it from an inode operation to a file operation so that we have the file structure available that lets us check for O_SYNC. This also includes moving the code around for a few of the filesystems, and remove the already unnedded S_ISDIR checks given that we only wire up fallocate for regular files.

2011-01-07fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup pathNick Piggin
Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them. This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we have d_op but not the particular operation. Patched with: git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-07fs: icache RCU free inodesNick Piggin
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow: - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must. - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking. - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the page lock to follow page->mapping. The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts kicking over, this increases to about 20%. In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller. The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking, so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I doubt it will be a problem. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

2010-12-16GFS2: Don't flush delete workqueue when releasing the transaction lockSteven Whitehouse
There is no requirement to flush the delete workqueue before a gfs2 filesystem is suspended. The workqueue's work will just be suspended along with the rest of the tasks on the filesystem. The resolves a deadlock situation where the transaction lock's demotion code was trying to flush the delete workqueue while at the same time, the workqueue was waiting for the transaction lock. The delete workqueue is flushed by gfs2_make_fs_ro() already, so that umount/remount are correctly protected anyway. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2010-11-30GFS2: Merge glock state fields into a bitfieldSteven Whitehouse
We can only merge the fields into a bitfield if the locking rules for them are the same. In this case gl_spin covers all of the fields (write side) but a couple of them are used with GLF_LOCK as the read side lock, which should be ok since we know that the field in question won't be changing at the time. The gl_req setting has to be done earlier (in glock.c) in order to place it under gl_spin. The gl_reply setting also has to be brought under gl_spin in order to comply with the new rules. This saves 4*sizeof(unsigned int) per glock. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>

2010-11-30GFS2: reread rindex when necessary to grow rindexBenjamin Marzinski
When GFS2 grew the filesystem, it was never rereading the rindex file during the grow. This is necessary for large grows when the filesystem is almost full, and GFS2 needs to use some of the space allocated earlier in the grow to complete it. Now, if GFS2 fails to reserve the necessary space and the rindex file is not uptodate, it rereads it. Also, the only difference between gfs2_ri_update() and gfs2_ri_update_special() was that gfs2_ri_update_special() didn't clear out the existing resource groups, since you knew that it was only called when there were no resource groups. Attempting to clear out the resource groups when there are none takes almost no time, and rarely happens, so I simply removed gfs2_ri_update_special().

2010-11-15GFS2: Fix inode deallocation raceSteven Whitehouse
This area of the code has always been a bit delicate due to the subtleties of lock ordering. The problem is that for "normal" alloc/dealloc, we always grab the inode locks first and the rgrp lock later. In order to ensure no races in looking up the unlinked, but still allocated inodes, we need to hold the rgrp lock when we do the lookup, which means that we can't take the inode glock. The solution is to borrow the technique already used by NFS to solve what is essentially the same problem (given an inode number, look up the inode carefully, checking that it really is in the expected state). We cannot do that directly from the allocation code (lock ordering again) so we give the job to the pre-existing delete workqueue and carry on with the allocation as normal. If we find there is no space, we do a journal flush (required anyway if space from a deallocation is to be released) which should block against the pending deallocations, so we should always get the space back.

2010-11-13block: clean up blkdev_get() wrappers and their usersTejun Heo
After recent blkdev_get() modifications, open_by_devnum() and open_bdev_exclusive() are simple wrappers around blkdev_get(). Replace them with blkdev_get_by_dev() and blkdev_get_by_path(). blkdev_get_by_dev() is identical to open_by_devnum(). blkdev_get_by_path() is slightly different in that it doesn't automatically add %FMODE_EXCL to @mode. All users are converted. Most conversions are mechanical and don't introduce any behavior difference. There are several exceptions. * btrfs now sets FMODE_EXCL in btrfs_device->mode, so there's no reason to OR it explicitly on blkdev_put(). * gfs2, nilfs2 and the generic mount_bdev() now set FMODE_EXCL in sb->s_mode. * With the above changes, sb->s_mode now always should contain FMODE_EXCL. WARN_ON_ONCE() added to kill_block_super() to detect errors. The new blkdev_get_*() functions are with proper docbook comments. While at it, add function description to blkdev_get() too.

2010-11-13block: make blkdev_get/put() handle exclusive accessTejun Heo
Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev open, close, claim and release. * blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions. * bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open. * open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and the other way around, respectively. * bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave symlinks. * open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get(). The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that, * blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management. @holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses. * blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are removed automatically. * bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer necessary and either made static or removed. * bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder() is no longer necessary and removed. * open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev() and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only() test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get(). * open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to blkdev_get(). Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put() and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases. open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup - rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop special features. Well, let's leave them for another day. Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the same.

2010-10-26writeback: remove nonblocking/encountered_congestion referencesWu Fengguang
This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efef (writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks). There are no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the ext4 tracing interface. The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on IO congestion. The latter will lead to more seeky IO. The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check. We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior: that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which is unfair in terms of LRU age.
