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.

If the buffer is dirty or pinned, then as well as printing a warning, we should also refuse to release the page in question. Currently this can occur if there is a race between mmap()ed writers and O_DIRECT on the same file. With the addition of ->launder_page() in the future, we should be able to close this gap.

The GFS2 fallocate code chooses a target size to for allocating chunks of space. Whenever it can't find any resource groups with enough space free, it 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 blksize Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

Add a tracepoint for monitoring writeback of the AIL. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

Steven Whitehouse authored
This patch adds writeback_control to writing back the AIL list. This means that we can then take advantage of the information we get in ->write_inode() in order to set off some pre-emptive writeback. In addition, the AIL code is cleaned up a bit to make it a bit simpler to understand. There is still more which can usefully be done in this area, but this is a good start at least.

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

This patch is designed to clean up GFS2's fsync implementation and ensure that it really does get everything on disk. Since ->write_inode() has been updated, we can call that via the vfs library function sync_inode_metadata() and the only remaining thing that has to be done is to ensure that we get any revoke records in the log after the inode has been written back.

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

In order to ensure that the mapping stats (and thus the bdi) are correctly updated, this patch changes the AIL writeback to use the filemap_datawrite function. This helps prevent stalls in balance_dirty_pages() due to large amounts of dirty metadata when there is little or no dirty data around. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

The GFS2 ->write_inode function should be more aggressive at writing back to the filesystem. This adopts the XFS system of returning -EAGAIN when the writeback has not been completely done. Also, we now kick off in-place writeback when called with WB_SYNC_NONE, but we only wait for it and flush the log when WB_SYNC_ALL is requested. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

Function foreach_leaf used to look up the leaf block address and get a buffer_head. Then it would call leaf_dealloc which did the same lookup. This patch combines the two operations by making foreach_leaf pass the leaf bh to leaf_dealloc.

At the end of function gfs2_dir_exhash_dealloc, it was setting the dinode type to "file" to prevent directory corruption in case of a crash. It was doing so in its own journal transaction. This patch makes the change occur when the last call is make to leaf_dealloc, since it needs to rewrite the directory dinode at that time anyway.

Bob Peterson authored
Since foreach_leaf is only called with leaf_dealloc as its only possible call function, we can simplify the code by making it call leaf_dealloc directly. This simplifies the code and eliminates the need for leaf_call_t, the generic call method. This is a first small step in simplifying the directory leaf deallocation code.

On rare occasions we encounter gfs2 problems where an invalid bitmap state transition is attempted. For example, trying to "unlink" a free block. In these cases, there is really no useful information logged to debug the problem. This patch adds more debug details that should allow us to more closely examine the problem and possibly solve it.

nouveau_bo_wr32 expects offset to be in words, but we pass value in bytes, so after commit 73412c38 ("drm/nouveau: allocate kernel's notifier object at end of block") we started to overwrite some memory after notifier buffer object (previously m2mf_ntfy was always 0, so it didn't matter it was a value in bytes).

With AMD cpu family 15h a unit mask was introduced for the Data Cache Miss event (0x041/L1-dcache-load-misses). We need to enable bit 0 (first data cache miss or streaming store to a 64 B cache line) of this mask to proper count data cache misses. Now we set this bit for all families and models. In case a PMU does not implement a unit mask for event 0x041 the bit is ignored.
