b5b24d7aeb GFS2: Fix AIL flush issue during fsync
Unfortunately, it is not enough to just ignore locked buffers during
the AIL flush from fsync. We need to be able to ignore all buffers
which are locked, dirty or pinned at this stage as they might have
been added subsequent to the log flush earlier in the fsync function.

In addition, this means that we no longer need to rely on i_mutex to
keep out writes during fsync, so we can, as a side-effect, remove
that protection too.

54335b1fca GFS2: Cache the most recently used resource group in the inode
This means that after the initial allocation for any inode, the
last used resource group is cached in the inode for future use.
This drastically reduces the number of lookups of resource
groups in the common case, and this the contention on that
data structure.

The allocation algorithm is the same as previously, except that we
always check to see if the goal block is within the cached rgrp
first before going to the rbtree to look one up.

8339ee543e GFS2: Make resource groups "append only" during life of fs
Since we have ruled out supporting online filesystem shrink,
it is possible to make the resource group list append only
during the life of a super block. This gives several benefits:

Firstly, we only need to read new rindex elements as they are added
rather than needing to reread the whole rindex file each time one
element is added.

Secondly, the rindex glock can be held for much shorter periods of
time, and is completely removed from the fast path for allocations.
The lock is taken in shared mode only when updating the resource
groups when the first allocation occurs, and after a grow has
taken place.

Thirdly, this results in a reduction in code size, and everything
gets a lot simpler to understand in this area.

ab9bbda020 GFS2: Use ->dirty_inode()
The aim of this patch is to use the newly enhanced ->dirty_inode()
super block operation to deal with atime updates, rather than
piggy backing that code into ->write_inode() as is currently
done.

The net result is a simplification of the code in various places
and a reduction of the number of gfs2_dinode_out() calls since
this is now implied by ->dirty_inode().

Some of the mark_inode_dirty() calls have been moved under glocks
in order to take advantage of then being able to avoid locking in
->dirty_inode() when we already have suitable locks.

One consequence is that generic_write_end() now correctly deals
with file size updates, so that we do not need a separate check
for that afterwards. This also, indirectly, means that fdatasync
should work correctly on GFS2 - the current code always syncs the
metadata whether it needs to or not.

Has survived testing with postmark (with and without atime) and
also fsx.

40ac218f52 GFS2: Fix inode allocation error path
If we have got far enough through the inode allocation code
path that an inode has already been allocated, then we must
call iput to dispose of it, if an error occurs during a
later part of the process. This will always be the final iput
since there will be no other references to the inode.

Unlike when the inode has been unlinked, its block state will
be GFS2_BLKST_INODE rather than GFS2_BLKST_UNLINKED so we need
to skip the test in ->evict_inode() for this one case in order
to ensure that it will be deallocated correctly. This patch adds
a new flag in order to ensure that this will happen correctly.

We do not need to start a transaction unless the atime
check has proved positive. Also if we are going to flush

17d539f049 GFS2: Cache dir hash table in a contiguous buffer
This patch adds a cache for the hash table to the directory code
in order to help simplify the way in which the hash table is
accessed. This is intended to be a first step towards introducing
some performance improvements in the directory code.

There are two follow ups that I'm hoping to see fairly shortly. One
is to simplify the hash table reading code now that we always read the
complete hash table, whether we want one entry or all of them. The
other is to introduce readahead on the heads of the hash chains
which are referred to from the table.

The hash table is a maximum of 128k in size, so it is not worth trying
to read it in small chunks.

380f7c65a7 GFS2: Resolve inode eviction and ail list interaction bug
This patch contains a few misc fixes which resolve a recently
reported issue. This patch has been a real team effort and has
received a lot of testing.

The first issue is that the ail lock needs to be held over a few
more operations. The lock thats added into gfs2_releasepage() may
possibly be a candidate for replacing with RCU at some future
point, but at this stage we've gone for the obvious fix.

The second issue is that gfs2_write_inode() can end up calling
a glock recursively when called from gfs2_evict_inode() via the
syncing code, so it needs a guard added.

The third issue is that we either need to not truncate the metadata
pages of inodes which have zero link count, but which we cannot
deallocate due to them still being in use by other nodes, or we need
to ensure that those pages have all made it through the journal and
ail lists first. This patch takes the former approach, but the
latter has also been tested and there is nothing to choose between
them performance-wise. So again, we could revise that decision
in the future.

Also, the inode eviction process is now better documented.

f42ab08529 GFS2: Optimise glock lru and end of life inodes
The GLF_LRU flag introduced in the previous patch can be
used to check if a glock is on the lru list when a new
holder is queued and if so remove it, without having first
to get the lru_lock.

The main purpose of this patch however is to optimise the
glocks left over when an inode at end of life is being
evicted. Previously such glocks were left with the GLF_LFLUSH
flag set, so that when reclaimed, each one required a log flush.
This patch resets the GLF_LFLUSH flag when there is nothing
left to flush thus preventing later log flushes as glocks are
reused or demoted.

In order to do this, we need to keep track of the number of
revokes which are outstanding, and also to clear the GLF_LFLUSH
bit after a log commit when only revokes have been processed.

29687a2ac8 GFS2: Alter point of entry to glock lru list for glocks with an address_space
Rather than allowing the glocks to be scheduled for possible
reclaim as soon as they have exited the journal, this patch
delays their entry to the list until the glocks in question
are no longer in use.

This means that we will rely on the vm for writeback of all
dirty data and metadata from now on. When glocks are added
to the lru list they should be freeable much faster since all
the I/O required to free them should have already been completed.

This should lead to much better I/O patterns under low memory
conditions.

44ad37d69b GFS2: filesystem hang caused by incorrect lock order
This patch fixes a deadlock in GFS2 where two processes are trying
to reclaim an unlinked dinode:
One holds the inode glock and calls gfs2_lookup_by_inum trying to look
up the inode, which it can't, due to I_FREEING.  The other has set
I_FREEING from vfs and is at the beginning of gfs2_delete_inode
waiting for the glock, which is held by the first.  The solution is to
add a new non_block parameter to the gfs2_iget function that causes it
to return -ENOENT if the inode is being freed.

23c3010808 GFS2: remove iopen glocks from cache on failed deletes
When a file gets deleted on GFS2, if a node can't get an exclusive lock on the
file's iopen glock, it punts on actually freeing up the space, because another
node is using the file.  When it does this, it needs to drop the iopen glock
from its cache so that the other node can get an exclusive lock on it. Now,
gfs2_delete_inode() sets GL_NOCACHE before dropping the shared lock on the
iopen glock in preparation for grabbing it in the exclusive state.  Since the
node needs the glock in the exclusive state, dropping the shared lock from the
cache doesn't slow down the case where no other nodes are using the file.

fa0d7e3de6 fs: icache RCU free inodes
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:

- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
  permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
  to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
  the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
  page lock to follow page->mapping.

The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.

In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.

The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

5e687eac1b GFS2: Various gfs2_logd improvements
This patch contains various tweaks to how log flushes and active item writeback
work. gfs2_logd is now managed by a waitqueue, and gfs2_log_reseve now waits
for gfs2_logd to do the log flushing.  Multiple functions were rewritten to
remove the need to call gfs2_log_lock(). Instead of using one test to see if
gfs2_logd had work to do, there are now seperate tests to check if there
are two many buffers in the incore log or if there are two many items on the
active items list.

This patch is a port of a patch Steve Whitehouse wrote about a year ago, with
some minor changes.  Since gfs2_ail1_start always submits all the active items,
it no longer needs to keep track of the first ai submitted, so this has been
removed. In gfs2_log_reserve(), the order of the calls to
prepare_to_wait_exclusive() and wake_up() when firing off the logd thread has
been switched.  If it called wake_up first there was a small window for a race,
where logd could run and return before gfs2_log_reserve was ready to get woken
up. If gfs2_logd ran, but did not free up enough blocks, gfs2_log_reserve()
would be left waiting for gfs2_logd to eventualy run because it timed out.
Finally, gt_logd_secs, which controls how long to wait before gfs2_logd times
out, and flushes the log, can now be set on mount with ar_commit.

009d851837 GFS2: Metadata address space clean up
Since the start of GFS2, an "extra" inode has been used to store
the metadata belonging to each inode. The only reason for using
this inode was to have an extra address space, the other fields
were unused. This means that the memory usage was rather inefficient.

The reason for keeping each inode's metadata in a separate address
space is that when glocks are requested on remote nodes, we need to
be able to efficiently locate the data and metadata which relating
to that glock (inode) in order to sync or sync and invalidate it
(depending on the remotely requested lock mode).

This patch adds a new type of glock, which has in addition to
its normal fields, has an address space. This applies to all
inode and rgrp glocks (but to no other glock types which remain
as before). As a result, we no longer need to have the second
inode.

This results in three major improvements:
 1. A saving of approx 25% of memory used in caching inodes
 2. A removal of the circular dependency between inodes and glocks
 3. No confusion between "normal" and "metadata" inodes in super.c

Although the first of these is the more immediately apparent, the
second is just as important as it now enables a number of clean
ups at umount time. Those will be the subject of future patches.

8f05228ee7 GFS2: Extend umount wait coverage to full glock lifetime
Although all glocks are, by the time of the umount glock wait,
scheduled for demotion, some of them haven't made it far
enough through the process for the original set of waiting
code to wait for them.

This extends the ref count to the whole glock lifetime in order
to ensure that the waiting does catch all glocks. It does make
it a bit more invasive, but it seems the only sensible solution
at the moment.

e402746a94 GFS2: Wait for unlock completion on umount
This patch adds a wait on umount between the point at which we
dispose of all glocks and the point at which we unmount the
lock protocol. This ensures that we've received all the replies
to our unlock requests before we stop the locking.

f25934c5f8 GFS2: add barrier/nobarrier mount options
Currently gfs2 issues barrier unconditionally.  There are various reasons
to disable them, be that just for testing or for stupid devices flushing
large battert backed caches.  Add a nobarrier option that matches xfs and
btrfs for this.  Also add a symmetric barrier option to turn it back on
at remount time.

3d3c10f2ce GFS2: Improve statfs and quota usability
GFS2 now has three new mount options, statfs_quantum, quota_quantum and
statfs_percent.  statfs_quantum and quota_quantum simply allow you to
set the tunables of the same name.  Setting setting statfs_quantum to 0
will also turn on the statfs_slow tunable.  statfs_percent accepts an
integer between 0 and 100.  Numbers between 1 and 100 will cause GFS2 to
do any early sync when the local number of blocks free changes by at
least statfs_percent from the totoal number of blocks free.  Setting
statfs_percent to 0 disables this.

f55073ff1e GFS2: Fix -o meta mounts for subsequent mounts (i.e. all but the first one)
We have a long term plan to use the "-o meta" flag to GFS2 mounts to
access the alternate root which is used to store metadata for a GFS2
filesystem. This will allow us to eventually remove support for the
gfs2meta filesystem type (which is in any case just a "front end" to
the gfs2 filesystem type with the meta/master root).

Currently the "-o meta" option is only taken into account on the
initial mount of the filesystem. Subsequent mounts of the same
filesystem (i.e. on the same device) result in basically the same
as bind mounting the root of the original mount.

This patch changes that by using what is more or less a copy
of get_sb_bdev() and extending it so that it will take into
account the alternate root in all cases. The main difference
is that we have to parse the mount options a bit earlier. We can
then use them to select the appropriate root towards the end of
the function.

In addition this also fixes a bug where it was possible (but certainly
not desirable) to set different ro/rw options for the meta root
when mounted via the gfs2meta fs compared with the original mount.

acf7e2444a GFS2: Be extra careful about deallocating inodes
There is a potential race in the inode deallocation code if two
nodes try to deallocate the same inode at the same time. Most of
the issue is solved by the iopen locking. There is still a small
window which is not covered by the iopen lock. This patches fixes
that and also makes the deallocation code more robust in the face of
any errors in the rgrp bitmaps, or erroneous iopen callbacks from
other nodes.

This does introduce one extra disk read, but that is generally not
an issue since its the same block that must be written to later
in the deallocation process. The total disk accesses therefore stay
the same,

8d8291ae93 GFS2: Remove no_formal_ino generating code
The inum structure used throughout GFS2 has two fields. One
no_addr is the disk block number of the inode in question and
is used everywhere as the inode number. The other, no_formal_ino,
is used only as the generation number for NFS.

Historically the no_formal_ino field was set using a complicated
system of one global and one per-node file containing inode numbers
in order to ensure that each no_formal_ino was unique. Also this
code made no provision for what would happen when eventually the
(64 bit) numbers ran out. Now I know that is pretty unlikely to
happen given the large space of numbers, but it is possible
nevertheless.

The only guarantee required for no_formal_ino is that, for any
single inode, the same number doesn't get reused too quickly.

We already have a generation number which is kept in the inode
and initialised from a counter in the resource group (almost
no overhead, since we have to touch the resource group anyway
in order to allocate an inode in the first place). Aside from
ensuring that we never use the value 0 in the no_formal_ino
field, we can use that counter directly.

As a result of that change, we lose about 200 lines of code and
also gain about 10 creates/sec on the postmark benchmark (on
my test machine).

d34843d0c4 GFS2: Add "-o errors=panic|withdraw" mount options
This patch adds "-o errors=panic" and "-o errors=withdraw" to the
gfs2 mount options.  The "errors=withdraw" option is today's
current behaviour, meaning to withdraw from the file system if a
non-serious gfs2 error occurs.  The new "errors=panic" option
tells gfs2 to force a kernel panic if a non-serious gfs2 file
system error occurs.  This may be useful, for example, where
fabric-level fencing is used that has no way to reboot (such as
fence_scsi).

8633ecfaba GFS2: Add online uevent to GFS2
We already have an offline uevent (used when a withdraw occurs)
but no online uevent. This adds an online uevent so that userspace
will be able to detect a successful mount by means other than
not receiving a remove event after the add & recovery (change)
uevents.

It has also been added to the remount path as well - we can't use
a change uevent there as older GFS2 userspace acts on change uevents
according to the state that it thinks the fs is in, so we can't
easily add any new ones.

b94a170e96 GFS2: remove dcache entries for remote deleted inodes
When a file is deleted from a gfs2 filesystem on one node, a dcache
entry for it may still exist on other nodes in the cluster. If this
happens, gfs2 will be unable to free this file on disk. Because of this,
it's possible to have a gfs2 filesystem with no files on it and no free
space. With this patch, when a node receives a callback notifying it
that the file is being deleted on another node, it schedules a new
workqueue thread to remove the file's dcache entry.
