accounting for the new blocks requested by the current operation
in ap->target.Previously, the number of new blocks requested during an operation
were not accounted for during quota_check and would allow these
operations to exceed quota. This was not very apparent since most
operations allocated only 1 block at a time and quotas would get
violated in the next operation. i.e. quota excess would only be by

at once) the quota excess is non-trivial and is addressed by this

aops->write_begin may allocate a new page and make it visible only to have
mark_page_accessed called almost immediately after. Once the page is
visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead
when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be
noticable with fast storage. The objective of the patch is to initialse
the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is
visible.The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use
grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial
allocation of a page cache page. This patch adds an init_page_accessed()
helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may
called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically.The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used
by most filesystems.find_get_page
find_lock_page
find_or_create_page
grab_cache_page_nowait
grab_cache_page_write_beginAll of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper
pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its
behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not. Then
old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core
function.Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling
mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already
done the job. There is a slight snag in that the timing of the
mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page
gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might
have been repromoted. This is expected to be rare but it's worth the
filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the
timing change. It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking
pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems
have consistent behaviour in this regard.The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done
multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations. The size of the
file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing. In the
async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even
hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact
of mark_page_accessed for async IO. The sync results are expected to be
more stable. The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO"
to not hit the disk.The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA
artifacts. Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall
times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the
variability is unsuitable for comparison. As async results were variable
do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures. The sync
results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting.The performance results are reported based on a run with no profiling.

GFS2 has a transaction glock, which must be grabbed for every
transaction, whose purpose is to deal with freezing the filesystem.
Aside from this involving a large amount of locking, it is very easy to
make the current fsfreeze code hang on unfreezing.This patch rewrites how gfs2 handles freezing the filesystem. The
transaction glock is removed. In it's place is a freeze glock, which is
cached (but not held) in a shared state by every node in the cluster
when the filesystem is mounted. This lock only needs to be grabbed on
freezing, and actions which need to be safe from freezing, like
recovery.When a node wants to freeze the filesystem, it grabs this glock
exclusively. When the freeze glock state changes on the nodes (either
from shared to unlocked, or shared to exclusive), the filesystem does a
special log flush. gfs2_log_flush() does all the work for flushing out
the and shutting down the incore log, and then it tries to grab the
freeze glock in a shared state again. Since the filesystem is stuck in
gfs2_log_flush, no new transaction can start, and nothing can be written
to disk. Unfreezing the filesytem simply involes dropping the freeze
glock, allowing gfs2_log_flush() to grab and then release the shared
lock, so it is cached for next time.However, in order for the unfreezing ioctl to occur, gfs2 needs to get a
shared lock on the filesystem root directory inode to check permissions.
If that glock has already been grabbed exclusively, fsfreeze will be
unable to get the shared lock and unfreeze the filesystem.In order to allow the unfreeze, this patch makes gfs2 grab a shared lock
on the filesystem root directory during the freeze, and hold it until it
unfreezes the filesystem. The functions which need to grab a shared
lock in order to allow the unfreeze ioctl to be issued now use the lock
grabbed by the freeze code instead.The freeze and unfreeze code take care to make sure that this shared
lock will not be dropped while another process is using it.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski

GFS2 has carried what is more or less a copy of the
write_cache_pages() for some time. It seems that this
copy has slipped behind the core code over time. This
patch brings it back uptodate, and in addition adds the
tracepoint which would otherwise be missing.We could go further, and eliminate some or all of the
code duplication here. The issue is that if we do that,
then the function we need to split out from the existing
write_cache_pages(), which will look a lot like
gfs2_jdata_write_pagevec(), would land up putting quite a
lot of extra variables on the stack. I know that has been
a problem in the past in the writeback code path, which
is why I've hesitated to do it here.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

We recently fixed the writeback of pages prior to performing

is only a read, since they will be identical to what has been
flushed to disk anyway.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

For historical reasons, we drop and retake the log lock in ->releasepage()
however, since there is no reason why we cannot hold the log lock over
the whole function, this allows some simplification. In particular,
pinning a buffer is only ever done under the log lock, so it is possible
here to remove the test for pinned buffers in the second loop, since it
is impossible for that to happen (it is also tested in the first loop).As a result, two tests made later in the second loop become constants
and can also be reduced to the only possible branch. So the net result
is to remove various bits of unreachable code and make this more
readable.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

In patch 209806aba9d540dde3db0a5ce72307f85f33468f we allowed
local deferred locks to be granted against a cached exclusive
lock. That opened up a corner case which this patch now
fixes.The solution to the problem is to check whether we have cached
pages each time we do direct I/O and if so to unmap, flush
and invalidate those pages. Since the glock state machine
normally does that for us, mostly the code will be a no-op.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

GFS2 was only setting I_DIRTY_DATASYNC on files that it wrote to, when
it actually increased the file size. If gfs2_fsync was called without
I_DIRTY_DATASYNC set, it didn't flush the incore data to the log before
returning, so any metadata or journaled data changes were not getting
fsynced. This meant that writes to the middle of files were not always
getting fsynced properly.This patch makes gfs2 set I_DIRTY_DATASYNC whenever metadata has been
updated during a write. It also make gfs2_sync flush the incore log
if I_DIRTY_PAGES is set, and the file is using data journalling. This
will make sure that all incore logged data gets written to disk before
returning from a fsync.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski

->invalidatepage() aop now accepts range to invalidate so we can make

Acked-by: Steven Whitehouse
Cc: cluster-devel@redhat.com -
Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
up to the certain point.Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
page).This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation
prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances
for it.We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually
make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems
where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour
in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able
to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner

In order to allow transactions and log flushes to happen at the same
time, gfs2 needs to move the transaction accounting and active items
list code into the gfs2_trans structure. As a first step toward this,
this patch removes the gfs2_ail structure, and handles the active items
list in the gfs_trans structure. This keeps gfs2 from allocating an ail
structure on log flushes, and gives us a struture that can later be used
to store the transaction accounting outside of the gfs2 superblock
structure.With this patch, at the end of a transaction, gfs2 will add the
gfs2_trans structure to the superblock if there is not one already.
This structure now has the active items fields that were previously in
gfs2_ail. This is not necessary in the case where the transaction was
simply used to add revokes, since these are never written outside of the
journal, and thus, don't need an active items list.Also, in order to make sure that the transaction structure is not
removed while it's still in use by gfs2_trans_end, unlocking the
sd_log_flush_lock has to happen slightly later in ending the
transaction.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski

Instead of using a list of buffers to write ahead of the journal
flush, this now uses a list of inodes and calls ->writepages
via filemap_fdatawrite() in order to achieve the same thing. For
most use cases this results in a shorter ordered write list,
as well as much larger i/os being issued.The ordered write list is sorted by inode number before writing
in order to retain the disk block ordering between inodes as
per the previous code.The previous ordered write code used to conflict in its assumptions
about how to write out the disk blocks with mpage_writepages()
so that with this updated version we can also use mpage_writepages()
for GFS2's ordered write, writepages implementation. So we will
also send larger i/os from writeback too.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

Just like ext3, this works on the root directory and any directory
with the +T flag set. Also, just like ext3, any subdirectory created
in one of the just mentioned cases will be allocated to a random
resource group (GFS2 equivalent of a block group).If you are creating a set of directories, each of which will contain a
job running on a different node, then by setting +T on the parent
directory before creating the subdirectories, each will land up in a
different resource group, and thus resource group contention between
nodes will be kept to a minimum.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

The rs_requested field is left over from the original allocation
code, however this should have been a parameter passed to the
various functions from gfs2_inplace_reserve() and not a member of the
reservation structure as the value is not required after the
initial allocation.This also helps simplify the code since we no longer need to set
the rs_requested to zero. Also the gfs2_inplace_release()
function can also be simplified since the reservation structure
will always be defined when it is called, and the only remaining
task is to unlock the rgrp if required. It can also now be
called unconditionally too, resulting in a further simplification.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

This patch moves the ancillary quota data structures into the
block reservations structure. This saves GFS2 some time and
effort in allocating and deallocating the qadata structure.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse -
This patch lengthens the lifespan of the reservations structure for
inodes. Before, they were allocated and deallocated for every write
operation. With this patch, they are allocated when the first write
occurs, and deallocated when the last process closes the file.
It's more efficient to do it this way because it saves GFS2 a lot of
unnecessary allocates and frees. It also gives us more flexibility
for the future: (1) we can now fold the qadata structure back into
the structure and save those alloc/frees, (2) we can use this for
multi-block reservations.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

This patch eliminates the gfs2_log_element data structure and
rolls its two components into the gfs2_bufdata. This makes the code
easier to understand and makes it easier to migrate to a rbtree
to keep the list sorted.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

gfs2_internal_read accepts an unused ra_state argument, left over from
when we did readahead on the rindex. Since there are currently no plans
to add back this readahead, this patch removes the ra_state parameter
and updates the functions which call gfs2_internal_read accordingly.Signed-off-by: Andrew Price

This is another clean up in the logging code. This per-transaction
list was largely unused. Its main function was to ensure that the
number of buffers in a transaction was correct, however that counter
was only used to check the number of buffers in the bd_list_tr, plus
an assert at the end of each transaction. With the assert now changed
to use the calculated buffer counts, we can remove both bd_list_tr and
its associated counter.This should make the code easier to understand as well as shrinking
a couple of structures.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

This patch allows caching of the rindex glock. We were previously
setting the GL_NOCACHE bit when the glock was released. That forced
the rindex inode to be invalidated, which caused us to re-read
rindex at the next access. However, it caused the glock to be
unnecessarily bounced around the cluster. This patch allows
the glock to remain cached, but it still causes the rindex to be
re-read once it has been written to by gfs2_grow.Ben and I have tested single-node gfs2_grow cases and I've tested
clustered gfs2_grow cases on my four-node cluster.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson
