In ocfs2_read_inline_data() we should store file size in loff_t. Although
the file size should fit in 32 bits we cannot be sure in case filesystem is
corrupted.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

Create separate lockdep lock classes for system file's i_mutexes. They are
used to guard allocations and similar things and thus rank differently
than i_mutex of a regular file or directory.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

Hook up ocfs2_flock(), using the new flock lock type in dlmglue.c. A new
mount option, "localflocks" is added so that users can revert to old
functionality as need be.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh
-
This adds a new dlmglue lock type which is intended to back flock()
requests.Since these locks are driven from userspace, usage rules are much more
liberal than the typical Ocfs2 internal cluster lock. As a result, we can't
make use of most dlmglue features - lock caching and lock level
optimizations in particular. Additionally, userspace is free to deadlock
itself, so we have to deal with that in the same way as the rest of the
kernel - by allowing a signal to abort a lock request.In order to keep ocfs2_cluster_lock() complexity down, ocfs2_file_lock()
does it's own dlm coordination. We still use the same helper functions
though, so duplicated code is kept to a minimum.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh

Local alloc is a performance optimization in ocfs2 in which a node
takes a window of bits from the global bitmap and then uses that for
all small local allocations. This window size is fixed to 8MB currently.
This patch allows users to specify the window size in MB including
disabling it by passing in 0. If the number specified is too large,
the fs will use the default value of 8MB.mount -o localalloc=X /dev/sdX /mntpoint

Mostly taken from ext3. This allows the user to set the jbd commit interval,
in seconds. The default of 5 seconds stays the same, but now users can
easily increase the commit interval. Typically, this would be increased in
order to benefit performance at the expense of data-safety.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh

Check that an online resize is being driven by a user with permission to
change system resource limits.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh
-
This patch adds the ability for a userspace program to request that a
properly formatted cluster group be added to the main allocation bitmap for
an Ocfs2 file system. The request is made via an ioctl, OCFS2_IOC_GROUP_ADD.
On a high level, this is similar to ext3, but we use a different ioctl as
the structure which has to be passed through is different.During an online resize, tunefs.ocfs2 will format any new cluster groups
which must be added to complete the resize, and call OCFS2_IOC_GROUP_ADD on
each one. Kernel verifies that the core cluster group information is valid
and then does the work of linking it into the global allocation bitmap.Signed-off-by: Tao Ma
Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh -
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.Signed-off-by: Tao Ma
Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh -
We need to reserve at least two ioctls for online-resize. Reserve a small
range of ioctls for Ocfs2 use in Documentation/ioctl-number.txt. This should
give us enough room for future growth.Signed-off-by: Tao Ma
Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh -
This value is initialized from global_bitmap->id2.i_chain.cl_cpg. If there
is only 1 group, it will be equal to the total clusters in the volume. So
as for online resize, it should change for all the nodes in the cluster.
It isn't easy and there is no corresponding lock for it.bitmap_cpg is only used in 2 areas:
1. Check whether the suballoc is too large for us to allocate from the global
bitmap, so it is little used. And now the suballoc size is 2048, it rarely
meet this situation and the check is almost useless.
2. Calculate which group a cluster belongs to. We use it during truncate to
figure out which cluster group an extent belongs too. But we should be OK
if we increase it though as the cluster group calculated shouldn't change
and we only ever have a small bitmap_cpg on file systems with a single
cluster group.Signed-off-by: Tao Ma

Remove 'readpages' from the list in ocfs2.txt. Instead of having two
identical lists, I just removed the list in the OCFS2 section of fs/Kconfig
and added a pointer to Documentation/filesystems/ocfs2.txt.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh
-
Add ->readpages support to Ocfs2. This is rather trivial - all it required
is a small update to ocfs2_get_block (for mapping full extents via b_size)
and an ocfs2_readpages() function which partially mirrors ocfs2_readpage().Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh

Call this the "inode_lock" now, since it covers both data and meta data.
This patch makes no functional changes.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh
-
The meta lock now covers both meta data and data, so this just removes the
now-redundant data lock.Combining locks saves us a round of lock mastery per inode and one less lock
to ping between nodes during read/write.We don't lose much - since meta locks were always held before a data lock
(and at the same level) ordered writeout mode (the default) ensured that
flushing for the meta data lock also pushed out data anyways.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh
-
In order to extend inode lock coverage to inode data, we use the same data
downconvert worker with only a small modification to only do work for
regular files.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh
-
The node maps that are set/unset by these votes are no longer relevant, thus
we can remove the mount and umount votes. Since those are the last two
remaining votes, we can also remove the entire vote infrastructure.The vote thread has been renamed to the downconvert thread, and the small
amount of functionality related to managing it has been moved into
fs/ocfs2/dlmglue.c. All references to votes have been removed or updated.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh
-
Now that the dlm exposes domain information to us, we don't need generic
node up / node down callbacks. And since the DLM is only telling us when a
node goes down unexpectedly, we no longer need to optimize away node down
callbacks via the umount map.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh
-
With this, a dlm client can take advantage of the group protocol in the dlm
to get full notification whenever a node within the dlm domain leaves
unexpectedly.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh

This can be broken down into these major areas:
- Documentation updates (language translations and fixes, as
well as kobject and kset documenatation updates.)
- major kset/kobject/ktype rework and fixes. This cleans up the
kset and kobject and ktype relationship and architecture,
making sense of things now, and good documenation and samples
are provided for others to use. Also the attributes for
kobjects are much easier to handle now. This cleaned up a LOT
of code all through the kernel, making kobjects easier to use
if you want to.
- struct bus_type has been reworked to now handle the lifetime
rules properly, as the kobject is properly dynamic.
- struct driver has also been reworked, and now the lifetime
issues are resolved.
- the block subsystem has been converted to use struct device
now, and not "raw" kobjects. This patch has been in the -mm
tree for over a year now, and finally all the issues are
worked out with it. Older distros now properly work with new
kernels, and no userspace updates are needed at all.
- nozomi driver is added. This has also been in -mm for a long
time, and many people have asked for it to go in. It is now
in good enough shape to do so.
- lots of class_device conversions to use struct device instead.
The tree is almost all cleaned up now, only SCSI and IB is the
remaining code to fix up...* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6: (196 commits)

If the node we're booting on doesn't have memory, bootstrapping kmalloc()
caches resorts to fallback_alloc() which requires ->nodelists set for all
nodes. Fix that by calling set_up_list3s() for CACHE_CACHE in
kmem_cache_init().As kmem_getpages() is called with GFP_THISNODE set, this used to work before
because of breakage in 2.6.22 and before with GFP_THISNODE returning pages from
the wrong node if a node had no memory. So it may have worked accidentally and
in an unsafe manner because the pages would have been associated with the wrong
node which could trigger bug ons and locking troubles.Tested-by: Mel Gorman

This patch allows gfs2 to perform journal recovery even if it is mounted
read-only. Strictly speaking, a read-only mount should not be writing to
the filesystem, but we do this only to perform journal recovery. A
read-only mount will fail if we don't recover the dirty journal. Also,
when gfs2 is used as a root filesystem, it will be mounted read-only
before being mounted read-write during the boot sequence. A failed
read-only mount will panic the machine during bootup.Signed-off-by: Abhijith Das

There was a bug in the truncation/invalidation race path for
->page_mkwrite for gfs2. It ought to return 0 so that the effect is the
same as if the page was truncated at any of the other points at which
the page_lock is dropped. This will result in the restart of the whole
page fault path. If it was due to a real truncation (as opposed to an
invalidate because we let a glock go) then the ->fault path will pick
that up when it gets called again.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

This is a small I/O performance enhancement to gfs2. (Actually, it is a rework of
an earlier version I got wrong). The idea here is to check if the write extends
past the last block in the file. If so, the function can save itself a lot of
time and trouble because it knows an allocate will be required. Benchmarks like
iozone should see better performance.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

This patch removes a vestigial variable "i_spin" from the gfs2_inode
structure. This not only saves us memory (>300000 of these in memory
for the oom test) it also saves us time because we don't have to
spend time initializing it (i.e. slightly better performance).Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse -
It is possible to reduce the size of GFS2 inodes by taking the i_alloc
structure out of the gfs2_inode. This patch allocates the i_alloc
structure whenever its needed, and frees it afterward. This decreases
the amount of low memory we use at the expense of requiring a memory
allocation for each page or partial page that we write. A quick test
with postmark shows that the overhead is not measurable and I also note
that OCFS2 use the same approach.In the future I'd like to solve the problem by shrinking down the size
of the members of the i_alloc structure, but for now, this reduces the
immediate problem of using too much low-memory on x86 and doesn't add
too much overhead.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

Although the values were all being calculated correctly, there was a
race in the assert due to the way it was using atomic variables. This
changes the value we assert on so that we get the same effect by testing
a different variable. This prevents the assert triggering when it shouldn't.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

This patch fixes a couple of problems which affected the execution of files
on GFS2. The first is that there was a corner case where inodes were not
always uptodate at the point at which permissions checks were being carried
out, this was resulting in refusal of execute permission, but only on the
first lookup, subsequent requests worked correctly. The second was a problem
relating to incorrect updating of file sizes which was introduced with the
write_begin/end code for GFS2 a little while back.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

To improve performance on NUMA, we use the VM's standard page
