  • mlog_exit is used to record the exit status of a function.
    But because it is added in so many functions, if we enable it,
    the system logs get filled up quickly and cause too much I/O.
    So actually no one can open it for a production system or even
    for a test.

    This patch just try to remove it or change it. So:
    1. if all the error paths already use mlog_errno, it is just removed.
    Otherwise, it will be replaced by mlog_errno.
    2. if it is used to print some return value, it is replaced with
    mlog(0,...).
    mlog_exit_ptr is changed to mlog(0.
    All those mlog(0,...) will be replaced with trace events later.

  • ENTRY is used to record the entry of a function.
    But because it is added in so many functions, if we enable it,
    the system logs get filled up quickly and cause too much I/O.
    So actually no one can open it for a production system or even
    for a test.

    So for mlog_entry_void, we just remove it.
    for mlog_entry(...), we replace it with mlog(0,...), and they
    will be replace by trace event later.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • This is safer. We no longer have to worry about tracking changes to

  • Add an optional validation hook to ocfs2_read_blocks(). Now the
    validation function is only called when a block was actually read off of
    disk. It is not called when the buffer was in cache.

    We add a buffer state bit BH_NeedsValidate to flag these buffers. It
    must always be one higher than the last JBD2 buffer state bit.

    The dinode, dirblock, extent_block, and xattr_block validators are
    lifted to this scheme directly. The group_descriptor validator needs to
    be split into two pieces. The first part only needs the gd buffer and
    is passed to ocfs2_read_block(). The second part requires the dinode as
    well, and is called every time. It's only 3 compares, so it's tiny.
    This also allows us to clean up the non-fatal gd check used by resize.c.
    It now has no magic argument.

  • We're panicing in ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() if a jbd-managed buffer is seen.
    At first glance, this seems ok but in reality it can happen. My test case
    was to just run 'exorcist'. A struct inode is being pushed out of memory but
    is then re-read at a later time, before the buffer has been checkpointed by
    jbd. This causes a BUG to be hit in ocfs2_read_blocks_sync().

  • ocfs2_read_blocks() currently requires the CACHED flag for cached I/O.
    However, that's the common case. Let's flip it around and provide an
    IGNORE_CACHE flag for the special users. This has the added benefit of
    cleaning up the code some (ignore_cache takes on its special meaning
    earlier in the loop).

  • Now that synchronous readers are using ocfs2_read_blocks_sync(), all
    callers of ocfs2_read_blocks() are passing an inode. Use it
    unconditionally. Since it's there, we don't need to pass the
    ocfs2_super either.

  • The ocfs2_read_blocks() function currently handles sync reads, cached,
    reads, and sometimes cached reads. We're going to add some
    functionality to it, so first we should simplify it. The uncached,
    synchronous reads are much easer to handle as a separate function, so we
    instroduce ocfs2_read_blocks_sync().

  • If we know a buffer_head is non-null, then brelse() is unnecessary and
    put_bh() can be used instead. Also, an explicit check for NULL is
    unnecessary when using brelse(). This patch only covers buffer_head_io.c and
    resize.c, which have recently added code which exhibits this problem.

  • This patch adds the ability for a userspace program to request an extend of
    last cluster group on an Ocfs2 file system. The request is made via ioctl,
    OCFS2_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND. This is derived from EXT3_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND, but is
    obviously Ocfs2 specific.

    tunefs.ocfs2 would call this for an online-resize operation if the last
    cluster group isn't full.

  • Uptodate.c now knows about read-ahead buffers. Use some more aggressive
    logic in ocfs2_readdir().

    The two functions which currently use directory read-ahead are
    ocfs2_find_entry() and ocfs2_readdir().
