There are several places where GFP_KERNEL allocations happen under a glock, which will result in hangs if we're under memory pressure and go to re-enter the fs in order to flush stuff out. This patch changes the culprits to GFS_NOFS to keep this problem from happening. Thank you, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

The function gfs2_inode_lookup always returns either a valid pointer or a value made with ERR_PTR, so its result should be tested with IS_ERR, not with a test for 0. The problem was found using the following semantic match.

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.

This patch streamlines the quota checking in the "no quota" case by making the check inline in the calling function, thus reducing the number of function calls. Eventually we might be able to remove the checks from the gfs2_quota_lock() and gfs2_quota_check() functions, but currently we can't as there are a very few places in the code which need to call these functions directly still.

In an earlier patch "[GFS2] fix file_system_type leak on gfs2meta mount" we removed the code to grab a ref to the module which was not needed (since we know that the module cannot be unloaded at that time) so this patch removes the code to drop that reference.

get_gfs2_sb does a get_fs_type without doing a put_filesystem and thus leaking a file_system_type reference everytime it's called.

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 the fact that it is needed later in the block map process. This patch ensures that we look up the inode's buffer once and only once during the block map process. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

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. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

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 forms a pair with the previous patch which shrunk di_height. Like that patch di_depth is renamed i_depth and moved into struct gfs2_inode directly. Also the field goes from 16 bits to 8 bits since it is also limited to a max value which is rather small (17 in this case). In addition we also now validate the field against this maximum value when its read in. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

The functions in lm.c were just wrappers which were mostly only used in one other file. By moving the functions to the files where they are being used, they can be marked static and also this will usually result in them being inlined since they are often only used from one point in the code. A couple of really trivial functions have been inlined by hand into the function which called them as it makes the code clearer to do that. We also gain from one fewer function call in the glock lock and unlock paths. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

The reason for doing this is to allow all the block mapping code to share the same array. As a result we can remove two arguments from lookup_metapath since they are now returned via the array. We also add a function to drop all refs to buffer heads when we are done with the metapath. The build_height function shares the struct metapath, but currently still frees its own buffers, and this will change in a future patch. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
