2011-10-24ore: RAID5 readBoaz Harrosh
This patch introduces the first stage of RAID5 support mainly the skip-over-raid-units when reading. For writes it inserts BLANK units, into where XOR blocks should be calculated and written to. It introduces the new "general raid maths", and the main additional parameters and components needed for raid5. Since at this stage it could corrupt future version that actually do support raid5. The enablement of raid5 mounting and setting of parity-count > 0 is disabled. So the raid5 code will never be used. Mounting of raid5 is only enabled later once the basic XOR write is also in. But if the patch "enable RAID5" is applied this code has been tested to be able to properly read raid5 volumes and is according to standard. Also it has been tested that the new maths still properly supports RAID0 and grouping code just as before. (BTW: I have found more bugs in the pnfs-obj RAID math fixed here) The ore.c file is getting too big, so new ore_raid.[hc] files are added that will include the special raid stuff that are not used in striping and mirrors. In future write support these will get bigger. When adding the ore_raid.c to Kbuild file I was forced to rename ore.ko to libore.ko. Is it possible to keep source file, say ore.c and module file ore.ko the same even if there are multiple files inside ore.ko? Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

2011-10-21GFS2: rewrite fallocate code to write blocks directlyBenjamin Marzinski
GFS2's fallocate code currently goes through the page cache. Since it's only writing to the end of the file or to holes in it, it doesn't need to, and it was causing issues on low memory environments. This patch pulls in some of Steve's block allocation work, and uses it to simply allocate the blocks for the file, and zero them out at allocation time. It provides a slight performance increase, and it dramatically simplifies the code. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-10-21GFS2: speed up delete/unlink performance for large filesBob Peterson
This patch improves the performance of delete/unlink operations in a GFS2 file system where the files are large by adding a layer of metadata read-ahead for indirect blocks. Mileage will vary, but on my system, deleting an 8.6G file dropped from 22 seconds to about 4.5 seconds.

2011-10-21GFS2: Fix off-by-one in gfs2_blk2rgrpdSteven Whitehouse
Bob reported: I found an off-by-one problem with how I coded this section: It should be: + else if (blk >= cur->rd_data0 + cur->rd_data) In fact, cur->rd_data0 + cur->rd_data is the start of the next rgrp (the next ri_addr), so without the "=" check it can land on the wrong rgrp. In all normal cases, this won't be a problem: you're searching for a block _within_ the rgrp, which will pass the test properly. Where it gets into trouble is if you search the rgrps for the block exactly equal to ri_addr. I don't think anything in the kernel does this, but I found a place in gfs2-utils gfs2_edit where it does. So I definitely need to fix it in libgfs2. I'd like to suggest we fix it in the kernel as well for the sake of keeping the functions similar. So this patch fixes the above mentioned off by one error as well as removing the unused parent pointer.

2011-10-21GFS2: Clean up ->page_mkwriteSteven Whitehouse
This patch brings gfs2's ->page_mkwrite uptodate with respect to the expectations set by the VM. Also added is a check to wait if the fs is frozen, before we attempt to get a glock. This will only work on the node which initiates the freeze, but thats ok since the transaction lock will still provide the expected barrier on other nodes. The major change here is that we return a locked page now, except when we don't return a page at all (error cases). This removes the race which required rechecking the page after it was returned.

2011-10-21GFS2: Fix AIL flush issue during fsyncSteven Whitehouse
Unfortunately, it is not enough to just ignore locked buffers during the AIL flush from fsync. We need to be able to ignore all buffers which are locked, dirty or pinned at this stage as they might have been added subsequent to the log flush earlier in the fsync function. In addition, this means that we no longer need to rely on i_mutex to keep out writes during fsync, so we can, as a side-effect, remove that protection too.

2011-10-21GFS2: Use cached rgrp in gfs2_rlist_add()Steven Whitehouse
Each block which is deallocated, requires a call to gfs2_rlist_add() and each of those calls was calling gfs2_blk2rgrpd() in order to figure out which rgrp the block belonged in. This can be speeded up by making use of the rgrp cached in the inode. We also reset this cached rgrp in case the block has changed rgrp. This should provide a big reduction in gfs2_blk2rgrpd() calls during deallocation. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-10-21GFS2: Call do_strip() directly from recursive_scan()Steven Whitehouse
The recursive_scan() function only ever takes a single "bc" argument, so we might as well just call do_strip() directly from resource_scan() rather than pass it in as an argument. Also the "data" argument is always a struct strip_mine, so we can pass that in, rather than using a void pointer. This also moves do_strip() ahead of recursive_scan() so that we don't need to add a prototype. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-10-21GFS2: Remove obsolete assertSteven Whitehouse
Given that a resource group has been locked, there is no reason why we should not be able to allocate as many blocks as are free. The al_requested parameter should really be considered as a minimum number of blocks to be available. Should this limit be overshot, there are other mechanisms which will prevent over allocation. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-10-21GFS2: Cache the most recently used resource group in the inodeSteven Whitehouse
This means that after the initial allocation for any inode, the last used resource group is cached in the inode for future use. This drastically reduces the number of lookups of resource groups in the common case, and this the contention on that data structure. The allocation algorithm is the same as previously, except that we always check to see if the goal block is within the cached rgrp first before going to the rbtree to look one up. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-10-21GFS2: Make resource groups "append only" during life of fsSteven Whitehouse
Since we have ruled out supporting online filesystem shrink, it is possible to make the resource group list append only during the life of a super block. This gives several benefits: Firstly, we only need to read new rindex elements as they are added rather than needing to reread the whole rindex file each time one element is added. Secondly, the rindex glock can be held for much shorter periods of time, and is completely removed from the fast path for allocations. The lock is taken in shared mode only when updating the resource groups when the first allocation occurs, and after a grow has taken place. Thirdly, this results in a reduction in code size, and everything gets a lot simpler to understand in this area. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-10-21GFS2: Use rbtree for resource groups and clean up bitmap buffer ref count schemeBob Peterson
Here is an update of Bob's original rbtree patch which, in addition, also resolves the rather strange ref counting that was being done relating to the bitmap blocks. Originally we had a dual system for journaling resource groups. The metadata blocks were journaled and also the rgrp itself was added to a list. The reason for adding the rgrp to the list in the journal was so that the "repolish clones" code could be run to update the free space, and potentially send any discard requests when the log was flushed. This was done by comparing the "cloned" bitmap with what had been written back on disk during the transaction commit. Due to this, there was a requirement to hang on to the rgrps' bitmap buffers until the journal had been flushed. For that reason, there was a rather complicated set up in the ->go_lock ->go_unlock functions for rgrps involving both a mutex and a spinlock (the ->sd_rindex_spin) to maintain a reference count on the buffers. However, the journal maintains a reference count on the buffers anyway, since they are being journaled as metadata buffers. So by moving the code which deals with the post-journal accounting for bitmap blocks to the metadata journaling code, we can entirely dispense with the rather strange buffer ref counting scheme and also the requirement to journal the rgrps. The net result of all this is that the ->sd_rindex_spin is left to do exactly one job, and that is to look after the rbtree or rgrps. This patch is designed to be a stepping stone towards using RCU for the rbtree of resource groups, however the reduction in the number of uses of the ->sd_rindex_spin is likely to have benefits for multi-threaded workloads, anyway. The patch retains ->go_lock and ->go_unlock for rgrps, however these maybe also be removed in future in favour of calling the functions directly where required in the code. That will allow locking of resource groups without needing to actually read them in - something that could be useful in speeding up statfs. In the mean time though it is valid to dereference ->bi_bh only when the rgrp is locked. This is basically the same rule as before, modulo the references not being valid until the following journal flush.

2011-10-21GFS2: Fix lseek after SEEK_DATA, SEEK_HOLE have been addedSteven Whitehouse
We need to take the inode's glock whenever the inode's size is referenced, otherwise it might not be uptodate. Even though generic_file_llseek_unlocked() doesn't implement SEEK_DATA, SEEK_HOLE directly, it does reference the inode's size in those cases, so we need to add them to the list of origins which need the glock.

2011-10-21GFS2: Clean up gfs2_createSteven Whitehouse
If we pass through knowledge of whether the creation is intended to be exclusive or not, then we can deal with that in gfs2_create_inode and remove one set of locking. Also this removes the loop in gfs2_create and simplifies the code a bit. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-10-21GFS2: Use ->dirty_inode()Steven Whitehouse
The aim of this patch is to use the newly enhanced ->dirty_inode() super block operation to deal with atime updates, rather than piggy backing that code into ->write_inode() as is currently done. The net result is a simplification of the code in various places and a reduction of the number of gfs2_dinode_out() calls since this is now implied by ->dirty_inode(). Some of the mark_inode_dirty() calls have been moved under glocks in order to take advantage of then being able to avoid locking in ->dirty_inode() when we already have suitable locks. One consequence is that generic_write_end() now correctly deals with file size updates, so that we do not need a separate check for that afterwards. This also, indirectly, means that fdatasync should work correctly on GFS2 - the current code always syncs the metadata whether it needs to or not. Has survived testing with postmark (with and without atime) and also fsx. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-10-21GFS2: Fix bug trap and journaled data fsyncSteven Whitehouse
Journaled data requires that a complete flush of all dirty data for the file is done, in order that the ail flush which comes after will succeed. Also the recently enhanced bug trap can trigger falsely in case an ail flush from fsync races with a page read. This updates the bug trap such that it will ignore buffers which are locked and only trigger on dirty and/or pinned buffers when the ail flush is run from fsync. The original bug trap is retained when ail flush is run from ->go_sync() Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-10-21GFS2: Fix inode allocation error pathSteven Whitehouse
If we have got far enough through the inode allocation code path that an inode has already been allocated, then we must call iput to dispose of it, if an error occurs during a later part of the process. This will always be the final iput since there will be no other references to the inode. Unlike when the inode has been unlinked, its block state will be GFS2_BLKST_INODE rather than GFS2_BLKST_UNLINKED so we need to skip the test in ->evict_inode() for this one case in order to ensure that it will be deallocated correctly. This patch adds a new flag in order to ensure that this will happen correctly. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-10-21GFS2: Make atime checks more efficientSteven Whitehouse
We do not need to start a transaction unless the atime check has proved positive. Also if we are going to flush the complete ail list anyway, we might as well skip the writeback for this specific inode's metadata, since that will be done as part of the ail writeback process in an order offering potentially more efficient I/O.

2011-10-21GFS2: Fix bug-trap in ail flush codeSteven Whitehouse
The assert was being tested under the wrong lock, a legacy of the original code. Also, if it does trigger, the resulting information was not always a lot of help.

2011-10-21GFS2: Split data write & wait in fsyncSteven Whitehouse
Now that the data writing is part of fsync proper, we can split the waiting part out and do it later on. This reduces the number of waits that we do during fsync on average. There is also no need to take the i_mutex unless we are flushing metadata to disk, so we can move that to within the metadata flushing code. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2011-10-19sysfs: Implement support for tagged files in sysfs.Eric W. Biederman
Looking up files in sysfs is hard to understand and analyize because we currently allow placing untagged files in tagged directories. In the implementation of that we have two subtly different meanings of NULL. NULL meaning there is no tag on a directory entry and NULL meaning we don't care which namespace the lookup is performed for. This multiple uses of NULL have resulted in subtle bugs (since fixed) in the code. Currently it is only the bonding driver that needs to have an untagged file in a tagged directory. To untagle this mess I am adding support for tagged files to sysfs. Modifying the bonding driver to implement bonding_masters as a tagged file. Registering bonding_masters once for each network namespace. Then I am removing support for untagged entries in tagged sysfs directories. Resulting in code that is much easier to reason about.
