  • There are several reasons why this is undesirable:

    1. It never happens during normal operation anyway
    2. If it does happen it causes performance to be very, very poor
    3. It isn't likely to solve the original problem (memory shortage
    on remote DLM node) it was supposed to solve
    4. It uses a bunch of arbitrary constants which are unlikely to be
    correct for any particular situation and for which the tuning seems
    to be a black art.
    5. In an N node cluster, only 1/N of the dropped locked will actually
    contribute to solving the problem on average.

    So all in all we are better off without it. This also makes merging
    the lock_dlm module into GFS2 a bit easier.

  • As per comments from Jan Engelhardt this
    updates the copyright message to say "version" in full rather than
    "v.2". Also incore.h has been updated to remove forward structure
    declarations which are not required.

    The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added
    to it. Also quota.c has been updated so that we now store the
    lvb data locally in endian independant format to avoid needing
    a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess
    conversions are done as required at various points and thus the
    conversion routines in lvb.[ch] are no longer required. I've
    moved the one remaining constant in lvb.h thats used into lm.h
    and removed the unused lvb.[ch].

    I have not changed the HIF_ constants. That is left to a later patch
    which I hope will unify the gh_flags and gh_iflags fields of the
    struct gfs2_holder.

  • As suggested by Pekka Enberg .

    The DIV_RU macro is renamed DIV_ROUND_UP and and moved to kernel.h
    The other macros are gone from gfs2.h as (although not requested
    by Pekka Enberg) are a number of included header file which are now
    included individually. The inode number comparison function is
    now an inline function.

    The DT2IF and IF2DT may be addressed in a future patch.

  • Removing the gfs2_databuf structure and using gfs2_bufdata instead
    is a step towards allowing journaling of data without requiring the
    metadata header on each journaled block. The idea is to merge the
    code paths for ordered data with that of journaled data, with the
    log operations in lops.c tacking account of the different types of
    buffers as they are presented to it. Largely the code path for
    metadata will be similar too, but obviously through a different set
    of log operations.
