This moves logic for checking the cached ACL values from low-level

check that doesn't need to load the inode->i_op->check_acl pointer at
all for the common cached case.
The filesystems also don't need to check for a non-blocking RCU walk
case in their acl_check() functions, because that is all handled at a

This patch changes the security_inode_init_security API by adding a
filesystem specific callback to write security extended attributes.
This change is in preparation for supporting the initialization of

walks an array of xattrs, writing each xattr separately, but could be
optimized to write multiple xattrs at once.
For existing security_inode_init_security() calls, which have not yet
been converted to use the new callback function, such as those in
reiserfs and ocfs2, this patch defines security_old_inode_init_security().

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.

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.

There is a potential race during filesystem mounting which has recently
been reported. It occurs when the userland gfs_controld is able to
process requests fast enough that it tries to use the sysfs interface
before the lock module is properly initialised. This is a pretty
unusual case as normally the lock module initialisation is very quick
compared with gfs_controld.
This patch adds an interruptible completion which is used to ensure that
userland will wait for the initialisation of the lock module to
complete.
There are other potential solutions to this problem, but this is the
quickest at this stage and has been tested both with and without
mount.gfs2 present in the system.

Right now, there is nothing that forces the log to get flushed when a node
drops its rindex glock so that another node can grow the filesystem. If the
log doesn't get flushed, GFS2 can corrupt the sd_log_le_rg list in the
following way.
A node puts an rgd on the list in rg_lo_add(), and then the rindex glock is
dropped so the other node can grow the filesystem. When the node reacquires the
rindex glock, that rgd gets deleted in clear_rgrpdi() before ever being
removed from the list by gfs2_log_flush().
This code simply forces a log flush when the rindex glock is invalidated,
solving the problem.

This patch fixes a race in the GFS2 glock state machine that may
result in lockups. The symptom is that all nodes but one will
hang, waiting for a particular glock. All the holder records
will have the "W" (Waiting) bit set. The other node will
typically have the glock stuck in Exclusive mode (EX) with no
holder records, but the dinode will be cached. In other words,
an entry with "I:" will appear in the glock dump for that glock,
but nothing else.
The race has to do with the glock "Pending Demote" bit, which
can be set, then immediately reset, thus losing the fact that
another node needs the glock. The sequence of events is:
1. Something schedules the glock workqueue (e.g. glock request from fs)
2. The glock workqueue gets to the point between the test of the reply pending
bit and the spin lock:
if (test_and_clear_bit(GLF_REPLY_PENDING, &gl->gl_flags)) {
finish_xmote(gl, gl->gl_reply);
drop_ref = 1;
}
down_read(&gfs2_umount_flush_sem); <---- i.e. here
spin_lock(&gl->gl_spin);
3. In comes (a) the reply to our EX lock request setting GLF_REPLY_PENDING and
(b) the demote request which sets GLF_PENDING_DEMOTE
4. The following test is executed:
if (test_and_clear_bit(GLF_PENDING_DEMOTE, &gl->gl_flags) &&
gl->gl_state != LM_ST_UNLOCKED &&
gl->gl_demote_state != LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE) {
This resets the pending demote flag, and gl->gl_demote_state is not equal to
exclusive, however because the reply from the dlm arrived after we checked for
the GLF_REPLY_PENDING flag, gl->gl_state is still equal to unlocked, so
although we reset the GLF_PENDING_DEMOTE flag, we didn't then set the
GLF_DEMOTE flag or reinstate the GLF_PENDING_DEMOTE_FLAG.
The patch closes the timing window by only transitioning the
"Pending demote" bit to the "demote" flag once we know the
other conditions (not unlocked and not exclusive) are met.

The deallocation code for directories in GFS2 is largely divided into
two parts. The first part deallocates any directory leaf blocks and
marks the directory as being a regular file when that is complete. The
second stage was identical to deallocating regular files.
Regular files have their data blocks in a different
address space to directories, and thus what would have been normal data
blocks in a regular file (the hash table in a GFS2 directory) were
deallocated correctly. However, a reference to these blocks was left in the
journal (assuming of course that some previous activity had resulted in
those blocks being in the journal or ail list).
This patch uses the i_depth as a test of whether the inode is an
exhash directory (we cannot test the inode type as that has already
been changed to a regular file at this stage in deallocation)

When we remove an entry from a directory, we can save ourselves

In addition this patch also merges the rmdir and unlink code which
was almost identical anyway. This eliminates the calls to remove
the . and .. directory entries on each rmdir (not needed since the
directory will be deallocated, anyway) which was the only thing preventing
passing the dentry to gfs2_dir_del(). The passing of the dentry
rather than just the name allows us to figure out the type of the entry
which is being removed, and thus adjust the link count when required.

To avoid any possible races relating to the link count, we need to
recheck it under the inode's glock in all cases where it matters.
Also to ensure we never get any nasty surprises, this patch also
ensures that once the link count has hit zero it can never be
elevated by rereading in data from disk.
The only place we cannot provide a proper solution is in rename
in the case where we are removing a target inode and we discover
that the target inode has been already unlinked on another node.
The race window is very small, and we return EAGAIN in this case
to indicate what has happened. The proper solution would be to move
the lookup parts of rename from the vfs into library calls which
the fs could call directly, but that is potentially a very big job
and this fix should cover most cases for now.

The GFS2 fallocate code chooses a target size to for allocating chunks of

halves its target. Since this target is in bytes, eventually it will no longer
be a multiple of blksize. As long as there is more space available in the
resource group than the target, this isn't a problem, since gfs2 will use the
actual space available, which is always a multiple of blksize. However,
when gfs couldn't fallocate a bigger chunk than the target, it was using the
non-blksize aligned number. This caused a BUG in later code that required
blksize aligned offsets. GFS2 now ensures that bytes is always a multiple of

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.

This adds support for two new flags. One keeps track of whether
the glock is on the LRU list or not. The other isn't really a
flag as such, but an indication of whether the glock has an
attached object or not. This indication is reported without
any locking, which is ok since we do not dereference the object
pointer but merely report whether it is NULL or not.
Also, this fixes one place where a tracepoint was missing, which
was at the point we remove deallocated blocks from the journal.

Rather than allowing the glocks to be scheduled for possible

This means that we will rely on the vm for writeback of all
dirty data and metadata from now on. When glocks are added

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.

GFS2 was relying on the writepage code to write out the zeroed data for
fallocate. However, with FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE set, this may be past i_size.
If it is, it will be ignored. To work around this, gfs2 now calls
write_dirty_buffer directly on the buffer_heads when FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE
is set, and it's writing past i_size.

The log lock is currently used to protect the AIL lists and
the movements of buffers into and out of them. The lists
are self contained and no log specific items outside the
lists are accessed when starting or emptying the AIL lists.
Hence the operation of the AIL does not require the protection
of the log lock so split them out into a new AIL specific lock
to reduce the amount of traffic on the log lock. This will
also reduce the amount of serialisation that occurs when
the gfs2_logd pushes on the AIL to move it forward.
This reduces the impact of log pushing on sequential write

Immediately after being synced to disk, cached quotas are zeroed out and a
subsequent access of the cached quotas results in incorrect zero values. This
meant that gfs2 assumed the actual usage to be the zero (or near-zero) usage
values it found in the cached quotas and comparison against warn/limits never
triggered a quota violation.
This patch adds a new flag QDF_REFRESH that is set after a sync so that the
cached quotas are forcefully refreshed from disk on a subsequent access on
seeing this flag set.

This patch is a performance improvement to GFS2's dealloc code.
Rather than update the quota file and statfs file for every
single block that's stripped off in unlink function do_strip,
this patch keeps track and updates them once for every layer
that's stripped. This is done entirely inside the existing
transaction, so there should be no risk of corruption.
The other functions that deallocate blocks will be unaffected
because they are using wrapper functions that do the same
thing that they do today.
I tested this code on my roth cluster by creating 200
files in a directory, each of which is 100MB, then on
four nodes, I simultaneously deleted the files, thus competing
for GFS2 resources (but different files). The commands
I used were:
[root@roth-01]# time for i in `seq 1 4 200` ; do rm /mnt/gfs2/bigdir/gfs2.$i; done
[root@roth-02]# time for i in `seq 2 4 200` ; do rm /mnt/gfs2/bigdir/gfs2.$i; done
[root@roth-03]# time for i in `seq 3 4 200` ; do rm /mnt/gfs2/bigdir/gfs2.$i; done
[root@roth-05]# time for i in `seq 4 4 200` ; do rm /mnt/gfs2/bigdir/gfs2.$i; done
The performance increase was significant:
roth-01 roth-02 roth-03 roth-05
--------- --------- --------- ---------
old: real 0m34.027 0m25.021s 0m23.906s 0m35.646s
new: real 0m22.379s 0m24.362s 0m24.133s 0m18.562s
Total time spent deleting:

GFS2 unlinks.

Michael Leun reported that running parallel opens on a fuse filesystem
can trigger a "kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475"
Gurudas Pai reported the same bug on NFS.
The reason is, unmap_mapping_range() is not prepared for more than
one concurrent invocation per inode. For example:
thread1: going through a big range, stops in the middle of a vma and
stores the restart address in vm_truncate_count.
thread2: comes in with a small (e.g. single page) unmap request on
the same vma, somewhere before restart_address, finds that the
vma was already unmapped up to the restart address and happily
returns without doing anything.
Another scenario would be two big unmap requests, both having to
restart the unmapping and each one setting vm_truncate_count to its
own value. This could go on forever without any of them being able to
finish.
Truncate and hole punching already serialize with i_mutex. Other
callers of unmap_mapping_range() do not, and it's difficult to get
i_mutex protection for all callers. In particular ->d_revalidate(),
which calls invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse, may be called
with or without i_mutex.
This patch adds a new mutex to 'struct address_space' to prevent
running multiple concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same mapping.
[ We'll hopefully get rid of all this with the upcoming mm
preemptibility series by Peter Zijlstra, the "mm: Remove i_mmap_mutex
lockbreak" patch in particular. But that is for 2.6.39 ]

The mmap system call grabs a glock when an update to atime maybe
required. It does this in order to ensure that the flags on the
inode are uptodate, but since it will only mark atime for a future
update, an exclusive lock is not required here (one will be taken
later when the actual update is performed).
Also, the lock can be skipped when the mount is marked noatime in
addition to the original check which only looked at the noatime
flag for the inode itself.
This should increase the scalability of the mmap call when multiple
nodes are all mmaping the same file.

SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created
inodes. We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating
process. This new behavior would also take into account the name of the
new object when deciding the new label. This is not the (supposed) full path,
just the last component of the path.
This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating
/etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these
operations. We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some
difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops
to get things set up correctly. This patch does not implement new
behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it
does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook. If no such name
exists it is fine to pass NULL.

- Reduces contention on the hash table lock
- Makes the code smaller and simpler
- Should speed up glock dumps when under load
- Removes ref count changing in examine_bucket
- No longer need hash chain lock in glock_put() in common case
There are some further changes which this enables and which
we may do in the future. One is to look at using SLAB_RCU,
and another is to look at using a per-cpu counter for the
per-sb glock counter, since that is touched twice in the

In the (impossible, except if there is fs corruption) error path
in gfs2_lookup_by_inum() if the call to gfs2_inode_refresh()
fails, it was leaving the function by calling iput() rather
than iget_failed(). This would cause future lookups of the same
inode to block forever.
This patch fixes the problem by moving the call to gfs2_inode_refresh()
into gfs2_inode_lookup() where iget_failed() is part of the error path
already. Also this cleans up some unreachable code and makes

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.

Currently all filesystems except XFS implement fallocate asynchronously,
while XFS forced a commit. Both of these are suboptimal - in case of O_SYNC
I/O we really want our allocation on disk, especially for the !KEEP_SIZE
case where we actually grow the file with user-visible zeroes. On the
other hand always commiting the transaction is a bad idea for fast-path
uses of fallocate like for example in recent Samba versions. Given
that block allocation is a data plane operation anyway change it from
an inode operation to a file operation so that we have the file structure
available that lets us check for O_SYNC.
This also includes moving the code around for a few of the filesystems,
and remove the already unnedded S_ISDIR checks given that we only wire

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.

We can only merge the fields into a bitfield if the locking

with GLF_LOCK as the read side lock, which should be ok
since we know that the field in question won't be changing

The gl_req setting has to be done earlier (in glock.c) in order
to place it under gl_spin. The gl_reply setting also has to be

file is not uptodate, it rereads it. Also, the only difference between
gfs2_ri_update() and gfs2_ri_update_special() was that gfs2_ri_update_special()
didn't clear out the existing resource groups, since you knew that it was only
called when there were no resource groups. Attempting to clear out the
resource groups when there are none takes almost no time, and rarely happens,
so I simply removed gfs2_ri_update_special().

The DLM never returns -EAGAIN in response to dlm_lock(), and even
if it did, the test in gdlm_lock() was wrong anyway. Once that
test is removed, it is possible to greatly simplify this code
by simply using a "normal" error return code (0 for success).
We then no longer need the LM_OUT_ASYNC return code which can
be removed.

This area of the code has always been a bit delicate due to the
subtleties of lock ordering. The problem is that for "normal"
alloc/dealloc, we always grab the inode locks first and the rgrp lock
later.
In order to ensure no races in looking up the unlinked, but still
allocated inodes, we need to hold the rgrp lock when we do the lookup,
which means that we can't take the inode glock.
The solution is to borrow the technique already used by NFS to solve
what is essentially the same problem (given an inode number, look up
the inode carefully, checking that it really is in the expected
state).
We cannot do that directly from the allocation code (lock ordering
again) so we give the job to the pre-existing delete workqueue and
carry on with the allocation as normal.
If we find there is no space, we do a journal flush (required anyway
if space from a deallocation is to be released) which should block
against the pending deallocations, so we should always get the space
back.

After recent blkdev_get() modifications, open_by_devnum() and
open_bdev_exclusive() are simple wrappers around blkdev_get().
Replace them with blkdev_get_by_dev() and blkdev_get_by_path().
blkdev_get_by_dev() is identical to open_by_devnum().
blkdev_get_by_path() is slightly different in that it doesn't
automatically add %FMODE_EXCL to @mode.
All users are converted. Most conversions are mechanical and don't
introduce any behavior difference. There are several exceptions.
* btrfs now sets FMODE_EXCL in btrfs_device->mode, so there's no
reason to OR it explicitly on blkdev_put().
* gfs2, nilfs2 and the generic mount_bdev() now set FMODE_EXCL in
sb->s_mode.
* With the above changes, sb->s_mode now always should contain
FMODE_EXCL. WARN_ON_ONCE() added to kill_block_super() to detect
errors.
The new blkdev_get_*() functions are with proper docbook comments.
While at it, add function description to blkdev_get() too.

Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev
open, close, claim and release.
* blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions.
* bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open.
* open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and
the other way around, respectively.
* bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave
symlinks.
* open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get().
The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim
makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as
in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive
open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another
exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that,
* blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management.
@holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will
gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses.
* blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and
if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when
the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are
removed automatically.
* bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer
necessary and either made static or removed.
* bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder()
is no longer necessary and removed.
* open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev()
and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only()
test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get().
* open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to
blkdev_get().
Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put()
and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as
it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and
invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases.
open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup -
rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop
special features. Well, let's leave them for another day.
Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more
involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the
same.

The only issue so far is that we could change the flp pointer even on an

the flp assignment after the fl_change invocation, as the callers don't
care about the flp return value if the setlease call failed.

This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efe
(writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks). There are
no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the
ext4 tracing interface.
The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the
flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on
IO congestion. The latter will lead to more seeky IO.
The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's
redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check.
We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because
a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code
b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior:
that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which
is unfair in terms of LRU age.

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

Add WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag which currently maps to WQ_RESCUER, mark
WQ_RESCUER as internal and replace all external WQ_RESCUER usages to
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.
This makes the API users express the intent of the workqueue instead
of indicating the internal mechanism used to guarantee forward
progress. This is also to make it cleaner to add more semantics to
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM. For example, if deemed necessary, memory reclaim
workqueues can be made highpri.
This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

This prepares the removal of the big kernel lock from the
file locking code. We still use the BKL as long as fs/lockd
uses it and ceph might sleep, but we can flip the definition
to a private spinlock as soon as that's done.
All users outside of fs/lockd get converted to use
lock_flocks() instead of lock_kernel() where appropriate.
Based on an earlier patch to use a spinlock from Matthew
Wilcox, who has attempted this a few times before, the
earliest patch from over 10 years ago turned it into
a semaphore, which ended up being slower than the BKL
and was subsequently reverted.
Someone should do some serious performance testing when
this becomes a spinlock, since this has caused problems
before. Using a spinlock should be at least as good
as the BKL in theory, but who knows...

This patch fixes a GFS2 problem whereby the first rename after a
mount can result in a file system consistency error being flagged
improperly and cause the file system to withdraw. The problem is
that the rename code tries to run the rgrp list with function
gfs2_blk2rgrpd before the rgrp list is guaranteed to be read in
from disk. The patch makes the rename function hold the rindex
glock (as the gfs2_unlink code does today) which reads in the rgrp
list if need be. There were a total of three places in the rename
code that improperly referenced the rgrp list without the rindex
glock and this patch fixes all three.

Recently a feature was added to GFS2 to allow journal id allocation
via sysfs. This patch builds upon that so that a negative journal id
will be treated as an error code to be passed back as the return code
from mount. This allows termination of the mount process if there is
a failure.
Also, the process has been updated so that the kernel will wait
for a journal id, even in the "spectator" case. This is required
in order to avoid mounting a filesystem in case there is an error
while joining the cluster. In the spectator case, 0 is written into
the file to indicate that all is well, and that mount should continue.

This option defaulted to on for lock_nolock mounts and off
otherwise. The only function was to avoid the revalidation of
dentries. In the cluster case, that is entirely pointless and
liable to cause coherency problems.
The patch changes the revalidation to depend upon whether the
fs is a local or cluster fs (i.e. it follows the existing default
behaviour). I very much doubt anybody ever used this option as
there is no reason to. Even so we will continue to accept it
on the mount command line, but ignore it.

The recovery workqueue can be freezable since
we want it to finish what it is doing if the system is to
be frozen (although why you'd want to freeze a cluster node
is beyond me since it will result in it being ejected from
the cluster). It does still make sense for single node
GFS2 filesystems though.
The glock workqueue will benefit from being able to run more
work items concurrently. A test running postmark shows
improved performance and multi-threaded workloads are likely
to benefit even more. It needs to be high priority because
the latency directly affects the latency of filesystem glock
operations.
The delete workqueue is similar to the recovery workqueue in
that it must not get blocked by memory allocations, and may
run for a long time.
Potentially other GFS2 threads might also be converted to
workqueues, but I'll leave that for a later patch.

GFS2's idea of which return codes it needs to handle was based
upon those listed in dlm.h. Those didn't cover all the possible

DLM under various circumstances.

Due to the design of the VFS, it is quite usual for operations on GFS2
to consist of a lookup (requiring a shared lock) followed by an
operation requiring an exclusive lock. If a remote node has cached an
exclusive lock, then it will receive two demote events in rapid succession
firstly for a shared lock and then to unlocked. The existing min hold time
code was triggering in this case, even if the node was otherwise idle
since the state change time was being updated by the initial demote.
This patch introduces logic to skip the min hold timer in the case that
a "double demote" of this kind has occurred. The min hold timer will
still be used in all other cases.
A new glock flag is introduced which is used to keep track of whether
there have been any newly queued holders since the last glock state
change. The min hold time is only applied if the flag is set.

This patch adds support for fallocate to gfs2. Since the gfs2 does not support
uninitialized data blocks, it must write out zeros to all the blocks. However,
since it does not need to lock any pages to read from, gfs2 can write out the
zero blocks much more efficiently. On a moderately full filesystem, fallocate
works around 5 times faster on average. The fallocate call also allows gfs2 to
add blocks to the file without changing the filesize, which will make it
possible for gfs2 to preallocate space for the rindex file, so that gfs2 can
grow a completely full filesystem.

This looks like a big change, but in reality its only a single line of actual
code change, the rest is just moving a function to before its new caller.
The "try" flag for glocks is a rather subtle and delicate setting since it
requires that the state machine tries just hard enough to ensure that it has
a good chance of getting the requested lock, but no so hard that the
request can land up blocked behind another.
The patch adds in an additional check which will fail any queued try
locks if there is another request blocking the try lock request which
is not granted and compatible, nor in progress already. The check is made
only after all pending locks which may be granted have been granted.
I've checked this with the reproducer for the reported flock bug which

This patch implements a wait for the journal id in the case that it has
not been specified on the command line. This is to allow the future
removal of the mount.gfs2 helper. The journal id would instead be
directly communicated by gfs_controld to the file system. Here is a
comparison of the two systems:
Current:
1. mount calls mount.gfs2
2. mount.gfs2 connects to gfs_controld to retrieve the journal id
3. mount.gfs2 adds the journal id to the mount command line and calls
the mount system call
4. gfs_controld receives the status of the mount request via a uevent
Proposed:
1. mount calls the mount system call (no mount.gfs2 helper)
2. gfs_controld receives a uevent for a gfs2 fs which it doesn't know
about already
3. gfs_controld assigns a journal id to it via sysfs
4. the mount system call then completes as normal (sending a uevent
according to status)
The advantage of the proposed system is that it is completely backward
compatible with the current system both at the kernel and at the
userland levels. The "first" parameter can also be set the same way,
with the restriction that it must be set before the journal id is
assigned.
In addition, if mount becomes stuck waiting for a reply from
gfs_controld which never arrives, then it is killable and will abort the
mount gracefully.

This patch fixes a kernel Oops in the GFS2 rename code.
The problem was in the way the gfs2 directory code was trying
to re-use sentinel directory entries.
In the failing case, gfs2's rename function was renaming a
file to another name that had the same non-trivial length.
The file being renamed happened to be the first directory
entry on the leaf block.
First, the rename code (gfs2_rename in ops_inode.c) found the
original directory entry and decided it could do its job by
simply replacing the directory entry with another. Therefore
it determined correctly that no block allocations were needed.
Next, the rename code deleted the old directory entry prior to
replacing it with the new name. Therefore, the soon-to-be
replaced directory entry was temporarily made into a directory
entry "sentinel" or a place holder at the start of a leaf block.
Lastly, it went to re-add the replacement directory entry in
that leaf block. However, when gfs2_dirent_find_space was
looking for space in the leaf block, it used the wrong value
for the sentinel. That threw off its calculations so later
it decides it can't really re-use the sentinel and therefore
must allocate a new leaf block. But because it previously decided
to re-use the directory entry, it didn't waste the time to
grab a new block allocation for the inode. Therefore, the
inode's i_alloc pointer was still NULL and it crashes trying to
reference it.
In the case of sentinel directory entries, the entire dirent is
reused, not just the "free space" portion of it, and therefore
the function gfs2_dirent_find_space should use the value 0
rather than GFS2_DIRENT_SIZE(0) for the actual dirent size.
Fixing this calculation enables the reproducer programs to work
properly.

This patch fixes a problem in an error path when looking
up dinodes. There are two sister-functions, gfs2_inode_lookup
and gfs2_process_unlinked_inode. Both functions acquire and
hold the i_iopen glock for the dinode being looked up. The last
thing they try to do is hold the i_gl glock for the dinode.
If that glock fails for some reason, the error path was
incorrectly calling gfs2_glock_put for the i_iopen glock twice.
This resulted in the glock being prematurely freed. The
"minimum hold time" usually kept the glock in memory, but the
lock interface to dlm (aka lock_dlm) freed its memory for the
glock. In some circumstances, it would cause dlm's dlm_astd daemon
to try to call the bast function for the freed lock_dlm memory,
which resulted in a NULL pointer dereference.

that the Q_SETQUOTA and Q_XSETQUOTA operations can be implemented
with a single filesystem operation and we can retire the ->set_xquota

This is the upstream fix for this bug. This patch differs
from the RHEL5 fix (Red Hat bz #555754) which simply writes to the 8-byte
value field of the quota. In upstream quota code, we're
required to write the entire quota (88 bytes) which can be split
across a page boundary. We check for such quotas, and read/write
the two parts from/to the corresponding pages holding these parts.
With this patch, I don't see the bug anymore using the reproducer
in Red Hat bz 555754. I successfully ran a couple of simple tests/mounts/
umounts and it doesn't seem like this patch breaks anything else.

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.

This patch fixes a couple gfs2 problems with the reclaiming of
unlinked dinodes. First, there were a couple of livelocks where
everything would come to a halt waiting for a glock that was
seemingly held by a process that no longer existed. In fact, the
process did exist, it just had the wrong pid number in the holder
information. Second, there was a lock ordering problem between
inode locking and glock locking. Third, glock/inode contention
could sometimes cause inodes to be improperly marked invalid by
iget_failed.

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.

If the inode size was corrupt for stuffed files, it was possible
for the copying of data to overrun the block and/or page. This patch
checks for that condition so that this is no longer possible.
This is also preparation for the new truncate sequence patch which
requires the ability to have stuffed files with larger sizes than
(disk block size - sizeof(on disk inode)) with the restriction that
only the initial part of the file may be non-zero.

GFS2 tracks the number of revokes and unrevokes that are part of committed
transactions via sd_log_commited_revoke. It is possible for one process to add
revokes during its transaction, while another process unrevokes them during its
transaction. If the second process finishes its transaction first,
sd_log_commited_revoke will be decremented by the number of unrevokes that the
second process did, without first being incremented by the number of revokes
the first process did. This is fine, since all started transactions must be
completed before the journal can be flushed. However, sd_log_commited_revoke
is an unsigned integer, and log_refund() causes an assertion failure if it
would go negative at the end of a transaction. This patch makes
sd_log_commited_revoke a signed integer and allows it to go negative.
__gfs2_log_flush() still checks that it mataches the actual number of revokes.

When we queue data buffers for ordered write, the buffers are added
to the head of the ordered write list. When the log needs to push
these buffers to disk, it also walks the list from the head. The
result is that the the ordered buffers are submitted to disk in
reverse order.
For large writes, this means that whenever the log flushes large
streams of reverse sequential order buffers are pushed down into the
block layers. The elevators don't handle this particularly well, so
IO rates tend to be significantly lower than if the IO was issued in
ascending block order.
Queue new ordered buffers to the tail of the ordered buffer list to
ensure that IO is dispatched in the order it was submitted. This
should significantly improve large sequential write speeds. On a
disk capable of 85MB/s, speeds increase from 50MB/s to 65MB/s for
noop and from 38MB/s to 50MB/s for cfq.

As a consequence of the previous patch, we can now remove the
loop which used to be required due to the circular dependency
between the inodes and glocks. Instead we can just invalidate
the inodes, and then clear up any glocks which are left.
Also we no longer need the rwsem since there is no longer any
danger of the inode invalidation calling back into the glock
code (and from there back into the inode code).

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.

This patch solves a corner case during allocation which occurs if both
metadata (indirect) and data blocks are required but there is an
obstacle in the filesystem (e.g. a resource group header or another
allocated block) such that when the allocation is requested only
enough blocks for the metadata are returned.
By changing the exit condition of this loop, we ensure that a
minimum of one data block will always be returned.
