GFS2 wasn't invalidating its cache before it called into the lock manager
with a request that could potentially drop a lock. This was leaving a
window where the lock could be actually be held by another node, but the
file's page cache would still appear valid, causing coherency problems.
This patch moves the cache invalidation to before the lock manager call
when dropping a lock. It also adds the option to the lock_dlm lock
manager to not use conversion mode deadlock avoidance, which, on a
conversion from shared to exclusive, could internally drop the lock, and
then reacquire in. GFS2 now asks lock_dlm to not do this. Instead, GFS2
manually drops the lock and reacquires it.

This version of the gfs2_bitfit algorithm includes the latest
suggestions from Steve Whitehouse. It is typically eight to
ten times faster than the version we're using today. If there
is a lot of metadata mixed in (lots of small files) the
algorithm is often 15 times faster, and given the right
conditions, I've seen peaks of 20 times faster.

making the check inline in the calling function, thus reducing the
number of function calls. Eventually we might be able to remove the

We've supported mapping of extents when no block allocation is required
for some time. This patch extends that to mapping of extents when an
allocation has been requested. In that case we try to allocate as many
blocks as are requested, but we might return fewer in case there is
something preventing us from returning the complete amount (e.g. an
already allocated block is in the way).
Currently the only code path which can actually request multiple data
blocks in a single bmap call is the page_mkwrite path and even then it
only happens if there are multiple blocks per page. What this patch does
do however, is merge the allocation requests for metadata (growing the
metadata tree in either height or depth) with the allocation of the data
blocks in the case that both are needed. This results in lower overheads
even in the single block allocation case.
The one thing which we can't handle here at the moment is unstuffing. I
would like to be able to do that, but the problem which arises is that
in order to unstuff one has to get a locked page from the page cache
which results in locking problems in the (usual) case that the caller is
holding the page lock on the page it wishes to map. So that case will
have to be addressed in future patches.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
We've previously been using a "try lock" in readpage on the basis that
it would prevent deadlocks due to the inverted lock ordering (our normal
lock ordering is glock first and then page lock). Unfortunately tests
have shown that this isn't enough. If the glock has a demote request
queued such that run_queue() in the glock code tries to do a demote when
its called under readpage then it will try and write out all the dirty
pages which requires locking them. This then deadlocks with the page
locked by readpage.
The solution is to always require two calls into readpage. The first
unlocks the page, gets the glock and returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, the
second does the actual readpage and unlocks the glock & page as
required.

In the case that we needed to grow the height of the metadata tree
we were looking up the inode buffer and then brelse()ing it despite

once during the block map process.

The blocks counter is almost a duplicate of the i_blocks
field in the VFS inode. The only difference is that i_blocks
can be only 32bits long for 32bit arch without large single file
support. Since GFS2 doesn't handle the non-large single file
case (for 32 bit anyway) this adds a new config dependency on
64BIT || LSF. This has always been the case, however we've never
explicitly said so before.
Even if we do add support for the non-LSF case, we will still
not require this field to be duplicated since we will not be
able to access oversized files anyway.
So the net result of all this is that we shave 8 bytes from a gfs2_inode
and get our config deps correct.

This adds a function (currently the only use is during mapping
of already allocated blocks, but watch this space) which iterates
over a number of pointers in a block and returns the extent length.
If the initial pointer is 0 (i.e. unallocated) it will return the
number of unallocated blocks in the extent. If the initial pointer
is allocated, then it returns the number of contiguously allocated
blocks in the extent.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
Rather than having to allocate a single block at a time, this patch
allows the block allocator to allocate an extent. Since there is
no difference (so far as the block allocator is concerned) between
data blocks and indirect blocks, it is posible to allocate a single
extent and for the caller to unrevoke just the blocks required
for indirect blocks.
Currently the only bit of GFS2 to make use of this feature is the
build height function. The intention is that gfs2_block_map will
be changed to make use of this feature in future patches.

By adding an extra argument to gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke we can now
specify an extent length of blocks to unrevoke. This means that
we only need to make one pass through the list for each extent
rather than each block. Currently the only extent length which
is used is 1, but that will change in the future.
Also gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke is removed from gfs2_alloc_meta
since its the only difference between this and gfs2_alloc_data
which is left. This will allow a future patch to merge these
two functions into one (i.e. one call to allocate both data
and metadata in a single extent in the future).

This patch improves the calculation of the tree height in order to reduce
the number of operations which are carried out on each call to gfs2_block_map.
In the common case, we now make a single comparison, rather than calculating
the required tree height from scratch each time. Also in the case that the
tree does need some extra height, we start from the current height rather from
zero when we work out what the new height ought to be.
In addition the di_height field is moved into the inode proper and reduced
in size to a u8 since the value must be between 0 and GFS2_MAX_META_HEIGHT (10).
