A lot of activities this round including considerable API and behavior cleanups. * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as expected. * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added. These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface and behave like timer which is executed with process context. * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario the overhead isn't too high. All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished execution of any previous queueing on return. * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU hotplug handling significantly. * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU hotplug. There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them." Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts. Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more. * 'for-3.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: (46 commits) workqueue: remove spurious WARN_ON_ONCE(in_irq()) from try_to_grab_pending() workqueue: use cwq_set_max_active() helper for workqueue_set_max_active() workqueue: introduce cwq_set_max_active() helper for thaw_workqueues() workqueue: remove @delayed from cwq_dec_nr_in_flight() workqueue: fix possible stall on try_to_grab_pending() of a delayed work item workqueue: use hotcpu_notifier() for workqueue_cpu_down_callback() workqueue: use __cpuinit instead of __devinit for cpu callbacks workqueue: rename manager_mutex to assoc_mutex workqueue: WORKER_REBIND is no longer necessary for idle rebinding workqueue: WORKER_REBIND is no longer necessary for busy rebinding workqueue: reimplement idle worker rebinding workqueue: deprecate __cancel_delayed_work() workqueue: reimplement cancel_delayed_work() using try_to_grab_pending() workqueue: use mod_delayed_work() instead of __cancel + queue workqueue: use irqsafe timer for delayed_work workqueue: clean up delayed_work initializers and add missing one workqueue: make deferrable delayed_work initializer names consistent workqueue: cosmetic whitespace updates for macro definitions workqueue: deprecate system_nrt[_freezable]_wq workqueue: deprecate flush[_delayed]_work_sync() ...

This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a dirty GFS2 inode was being deleted but was in use by another node, its metadata was not getting written out before GFS2 checked for dirty buffers in gfs2_ail_flush().

* | GFS2: Add structure to contain rgrp, bitmap, offset tupleSteven Whitehouse2012-09-241-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a new structure, gfs2_rbm, which is a tuple of a resource group, a bitmap within the resource group and an offset within that bitmap. This is designed to make manipulating these sets of variables easier. There is also a new helper function which converts this representation back to a disk block address. In addition, the rbtree nodes which are used for the reservations were not being correctly initialised, which is now fixed. Also, the tracing was not passing through the inode where it should have been. That is mostly fixed aside from one corner case. This needs to be revisited since there can also be a NULL rgrp in some cases which results in the device being incorrect in the trace. This is intended to be the first step towards cleaning up some of the allocation code, and some further bug fixes. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

| * GFS2: Reduce file fragmentationBob Peterson2012-07-191-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reduces GFS2 file fragmentation by pre-reserving blocks. The resulting improved on disk layout greatly speeds up operations in cases which would have resulted in interlaced allocation of blocks previously. A typical example of this is 10 parallel dd processes, each writing to a file in a common dirctory. The implementation uses an rbtree of reservations attached to each resource group (and each inode).

| * GFS2: Use lvbs for storing rgrp information with mount optionBenjamin Marzinski2012-06-081-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of reading in the resource groups when gfs2 is checking for free space to allocate from, gfs2 can store the necessary infromation in the resource group's lvb. Also, instead of searching for unlinked inodes in every resource group that's checked for free space, gfs2 can store the number of unlinked but inodes in the lvb, and only check for unlinked inodes if it will find some. The first time a resource group is locked, the lvb must initialized. Since this involves counting the unlinked inodes in the resource group, this takes a little extra time. But after that, if the resource group is locked with GL_SKIP, the buffer head won't be read in unless it's actually needed. Enabling the resource groups lvbs is done via the rgrplvb mount option. If this option isn't set, the lvbs will still be set and updated, but they won't be verfied or used by the filesystem. To safely turn on this option, all of the nodes mounting the filesystem must be running code with this patch, and the filesystem must have been completely unmounted since they were updated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch lengthens the lifespan of the reservations structure for inodes. Before, they were allocated and deallocated for every write operation. With this patch, they are allocated when the first write occurs, and deallocated when the last process closes the file. It's more efficient to do it this way because it saves GFS2 a lot of unnecessary allocates and frees. It also gives us more flexibility for the future: (1) we can now fold the qadata structure back into the structure and save those alloc/frees, (2) we can use this for multi-block reservations.

* | quota: Move quota syncing to ->sync_fs methodJan Kara2012-07-221-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the moment writes to quota files are using block device page cache and space for quota structures is reserved at the moment they are first accessed we have no reason to sync quota before inode writeback. In fact this order is now only harmful since quota information can easily change during inode writeback (either because conversion of delayed-allocated extents or simply because of allocation of new blocks for simple filesystems not using page_mkwrite). So move syncing of quota information after writeback of inodes into ->sync_fs method. This way we do not have to use ->quota_sync callback which is primarily intended for use by quotactl syscall anyway and we get rid of calling ->sync_fs() twice unnecessarily. We skip quota syncing for OCFS2 since it does proper quota journalling in all cases (unlike ext3, ext4, and reiserfs which also support legacy non-journalled quotas) and thus there are no dirty quota structures.

* GFS2: FITRIM ioctl supportSteven Whitehouse2012-02-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The FITRIM ioctl provides an alternative way to send discard requests to the underlying device. Using the discard mount option results in every freed block generating a discard request to the block device. This can be slow, since many block devices can only process discard requests of larger sizes, and also such operations can be time consuming. Rather than using the discard mount option, FITRIM allows a sweep of the filesystem on an occasional basis, and also to optionally avoid sending down discard requests for smaller regions. In GFS2 FITRIM will work at resource group granularity. There is a flag for each resource group which keeps track of which resource groups have been trimmed. This flag is reset whenever a deallocation occurs in the resource group, and set whenever a successful FITRIM of that resource group has taken place. This helps to reduce repeated discard requests for the same block ranges, again improving performance. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

* GFS2: Fix AIL flush issue during fsyncSteven Whitehouse2011-10-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* GFS2: Cache the most recently used resource group in the inodeSteven Whitehouse2011-10-211-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* GFS2: Make resource groups "append only" during life of fsSteven Whitehouse2011-10-211-16/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* GFS2: Use ->dirty_inode()Steven Whitehouse2011-10-211-35/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* GFS2: Fix inode allocation error pathSteven Whitehouse2011-10-211-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* GFS2: Make atime checks more efficientSteven Whitehouse2011-10-211-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | We do not need to start a transaction unless the atime check has proved positive.

* GFS2: Cache dir hash table in a contiguous bufferSteven Whitehouse2011-07-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* GFS2: Resolve inode eviction and ail list interaction bugSteven Whitehouse2011-07-141-6/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* GFS2: Make writeback more responsive to system conditionsSteven Whitehouse2011-04-201-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* GFS2: Optimise glock lru and end of life inodesSteven Whitehouse2011-04-201-4/+74
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* GFS2: Alter point of entry to glock lru list for glocks with an address_spaceSteven Whitehouse2011-04-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

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>
* GFS2: filesystem hang caused by incorrect lock orderBob Peterson2011-04-181-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: remove iopen glocks from cache on failed deletesBenjamin Marzinski2011-01-181-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* fs: icache RCU free inodesNick Piggin2011-01-071-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* GFS2: Various gfs2_logd improvementsBenjamin Marzinski2010-05-051-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
