  • Clean up gfs2_alloc_blocks so that it takes the full extent length
    rather than just the number of non-inode blocks as an argument. That
    will only make a difference in the inode allocation case for now.

    Also, this fixes the extent length handling around gfs2_alloc_extent() so
    that multi block allocations will work again.

    The rd_last_alloc block is set to the final block in the allocated
    extent (as per the update to i_goal, but referenced to a different
    start point).

    This also removes the dinode argument to rgblk_search() which is no
    longer used.

  • This patch separates the code pertaining to allocations into two
    parts: quota-related information and block reservations.
    This patch also moves all the block reservation structure allocations to
    function gfs2_inplace_reserve to simplify the code, and moves
    the frees to function gfs2_inplace_release.

  • There is no reason to export two functions for entering the
    refrigerator. Calling refrigerator() instead of try_to_freeze()
    doesn't save anything noticeable or removes any race condition.

    * Rename refrigerator() to __refrigerator() and make it return bool
    indicating whether it scheduled out for freezing.

    * Update try_to_freeze() to return bool and relay the return value of
    __refrigerator() if freezing().

    * Convert all refrigerator() users to try_to_freeze().

    * Update documentation accordingly.

    * While at it, add might_sleep() to try_to_freeze().

  • This patch is a revision of the one I previously posted.
    I tried to integrate all the suggestions Steve gave.
    The purpose of the patch is to change function gfs2_alloc_block
    (allocate either a dinode block or an extent of data blocks)
    to a more generic gfs2_alloc_blocks function that can
    allocate both a dinode _and_ an extent of data blocks in the
    same call. This will ultimately help us create a multi-block
    reservation scheme to reduce file fragmentation.

    This patch moves more toward a generic multi-block allocator that
    takes a pointer to the number of data blocks to allocate, plus whether
    or not to allocate a dinode. In theory, it could be called to allocate
    (1) a single dinode block, (2) a group of one or more data blocks, or
    (3) a dinode plus several data blocks.

  • Add sync of metadata after fallocate for O_SYNC files to ensure that we
    meet expectations for everything being on disk in this case.
    Unfortunately, the offset and len parameters are modified during the
    course of the fallocate function, so I've had to add a couple of new
    variables to call generic_write_sync() at the end.

    I know that potentially this will sync data as well within the range,
    but I think that is a fairly harmless side-effect overall, since we
    would not normally expect there to be any dirty data within the range in
    question.

  • This patch removes the vestigial variable al_alloced from
    the gfs2_alloc structure. This is another baby step toward
    multi-block reservations.

    My next planned step is to decouple the quota variables
    from the gfs2_alloc structure so we can use a different
    method for allocations.

  • GFS2 functions gfs2_alloc_block and gfs2_alloc_di do basically
    the same things, with a few exceptions. This patch combines
    the two functions into a slightly more generic gfs2_alloc_block.
    Having one centralized block allocation function will reduce
    code redundancy and make it easier to implement multi-block
    reservations to reduce file fragmentation in the future.

  • This upstream patch had what I believe is an unintended consequence:

    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/steve/gfs2-3.0-nmw.git;a=commitdiff;h=beca42486749c1538a5ed58fe9dcc9f26d428c93

    The patch changed function get_local_rgrp such that it ONLY
    used TRY locks for RGRP searches. Prior to that patch, the code
    used TRY locks during the first loop, and if that was unsuccessful,
    it used normal blocking locks on subsequent searches. This patch
    changes it back to the old way.

  • This patch adds read-ahead capability to GFS2's
    directory hash table management. It greatly improves
    performance for some directory operations. For example:
    In one of my file systems that has 1000 directories, each
    of which has 1000 files, time to execute a recursive
    ls (time ls -fR /mnt/gfs2 > /dev/null) was reduced
    from 2m2.814s on a stock kernel to 0m45.938s.

  • Christoph has split up REQ_PRIO from REQ_META. That means that
    we can drop REQ_PRIO from places where is it not needed. I'm
    not at all sure that the combination WRITE_FLUSH_FUA | REQ_PRIO
    makes any kind of sense, anyway.

    In addition, I've added REQ_META to one place in the code where
    it was missing. REQ_PRIO has been left for read/writes triggered
    by glock acquisition and writeback only. We can adjust it again
    if required, but these are the most important points from a
    performance perspective.

  • The i_mutex lock use of generic _file_llseek hurts. Independent processes
    accessing the same file synchronize over a single lock, even though
    they have no need for synchronization at all.

    Under high utilization this can cause llseek to scale very poorly on larger
    systems.

    This patch does some rethinking of the llseek locking model:

    First the 64bit f_pos is not necessarily atomic without locks
    on 32bit systems. This can already cause races with read() today.
    This was discussed on linux-kernel in the past and deemed acceptable.
    The patch does not change that.

    Let's look at the different seek variants:

    SEEK_SET: Doesn't really need any locking.
    If there's a race one writer wins, the other loses.

    For 32bit the non atomic update races against read()
    stay the same. Without a lock they can also happen
    against write() now. The read() race was deemed
    acceptable in past discussions, and I think if it's
    ok for read it's ok for write too.

    => Don't need a lock.

    SEEK_END: This behaves like SEEK_SET plus it reads
    the maximum size too. Reading the maximum size would have the
    32bit atomic problem. But luckily we already have a way to read
    the maximum size without locking (i_size_read), so we
    can just use that instead.

    Without i_mutex there is no synchronization with write() anymore,
    however since the write() update is atomic on 64bit it just behaves
    like another racy SEEK_SET. On non atomic 32bit it's the same
    as SEEK_SET.

    => Don't need a lock, but need to use i_size_read()

    SEEK_CUR: This has a read-modify-write race window
    on the same file. One could argue that any application
    doing unsynchronized seeks on the same file is already broken.
    But for the sake of not adding a regression here I'm
    using the file->f_lock to synchronize this. Using this
    lock is much better than the inode mutex because it doesn't
    synchronize between processes.

    => So still need a lock, but can use a f_lock.

    This patch implements this new scheme in generic_file_llseek.
    I dropped generic_file_llseek_unlocked and changed all callers.
