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
gfs2_set_iop() static.

There is no requirement to flush the delete workqueue before a
gfs2 filesystem is suspended. The workqueue's work will just
be suspended along with the rest of the tasks on the filesystem.
The resolves a deadlock situation where the transaction lock's
demotion code was trying to flush the delete workqueue while at
the same time, the workqueue was waiting for the transaction
lock.
The delete workqueue is flushed by gfs2_make_fs_ro() already, so
that umount/remount are correctly protected anyway.

We can only merge the fields into a bitfield if the locking
rules for them are the same. In this case gl_spin covers all
of the fields (write side) but a couple of them are used
with GLF_LOCK as the read side lock, which should be ok
since we know that the field in question won't be changing
at the time.
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
brought under gl_spin in order to comply with the new rules.
This saves 4*sizeof(unsigned int) per glock.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When converting a lock, an lkb is in the granted state and also being used
to request a new state. In the case that the conversion was a "try 1cb"
type which has failed, and if the new state was incompatible with the old
state, a callback was being generated to the requesting node. This is
incorrect as callbacks should only be sent to all the other nodes holding
blocking locks. The requesting node should receive the normal (failed)
response to its "try 1cb" conversion request only.
This was discovered while debugging a performance problem on GFS2, however
this fix also speeds up GFS as well. In the GFS2 case the performance gain
is over 10x for cases of write activity to an inode whose glock is cached
on another, idle (wrt that glock) node.

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

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.

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.

There are two spare field in the header common to all GFS2
metadata. One is just the right size to fit a journal id
in it, and this patch updates the journal code so that each
time a metadata block is modified, we tag it with the journal
id of the node which is performing the modification.
The reason for this is that it should make it much easier to
debug issues which arise if we can tell which node was the
last to modify a particular metadata block.
Since the field is updated before the block is written into
the journal, each journal should only contain metadata which
is tagged with its own journal id. The one exception to this
is the journal header block, which might have a different node's
id in it, if that journal was recovered by another node in the
cluster.
Thus each journal will contain a record of which nodes recovered
it, via the journal header.
The other field in the metadata header could potentially be
used to hold information about what kind of operation was
performed, but for the time being we just zero it on each
transaction so that if we use it for that in future, we'll
know that the information (where it exists) is reliable.
I did consider using the other field to hold the journal
sequence number, however since in GFS2's journaling we write
the modified data into the journal and not the original
data, this gives no information as to what action caused the
modification, so I think we can probably come up with a better
use for those 64 bits in the future.

We have a long term plan to use the "-o meta" flag to GFS2 mounts to
access the alternate root which is used to store metadata for a GFS2
filesystem. This will allow us to eventually remove support for the
gfs2meta filesystem type (which is in any case just a "front end" to
the gfs2 filesystem type with the meta/master root).
Currently the "-o meta" option is only taken into account on the
initial mount of the filesystem. Subsequent mounts of the same
filesystem (i.e. on the same device) result in basically the same
as bind mounting the root of the original mount.
This patch changes that by using what is more or less a copy
of get_sb_bdev() and extending it so that it will take into
account the alternate root in all cases. The main difference
is that we have to parse the mount options a bit earlier. We can
then use them to select the appropriate root towards the end of
the function.
In addition this also fixes a bug where it was possible (but certainly
not desirable) to set different ro/rw options for the meta root
when mounted via the gfs2meta fs compared with the original mount.

The inum structure used throughout GFS2 has two fields. One
no_addr is the disk block number of the inode in question and
is used everywhere as the inode number. The other, no_formal_ino,
is used only as the generation number for NFS.
Historically the no_formal_ino field was set using a complicated
system of one global and one per-node file containing inode numbers
in order to ensure that each no_formal_ino was unique. Also this
code made no provision for what would happen when eventually the
(64 bit) numbers ran out. Now I know that is pretty unlikely to
happen given the large space of numbers, but it is possible
nevertheless.
The only guarantee required for no_formal_ino is that, for any
single inode, the same number doesn't get reused too quickly.
We already have a generation number which is kept in the inode
and initialised from a counter in the resource group (almost
no overhead, since we have to touch the resource group anyway
in order to allocate an inode in the first place). Aside from
ensuring that we never use the value 0 in the no_formal_ino
field, we can use that counter directly.
As a result of that change, we lose about 200 lines of code and
also gain about 10 creates/sec on the postmark benchmark (on
my test machine).

Use the more conventional name for the extended attribute
support code. Update all the places which care.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <[email protected]>
This has been on my list for some time. We need to change the way
in which we handle extended attributes to allow faster file creation
times (by reducing the number of transactions required) and the
extended attribute code is the main obstacle to this.
In addition to that, the VFS provides a way to demultiplex the xattr
calls which we ought to be using, rather than rolling our own. This
patch changes the GFS2 code to use that VFS feature and as a result
the code shrinks by a couple of hundred lines or so, and becomes
easier to read.
I'm planning on doing further clean up work in this area, but this
patch is a good start. The cleaned up code also uses the more usual
"xattr" shorthand, I plan to eliminate the use of "eattr" eventually
and in the mean time it serves as a flag as to which bits of the code
have been updated.

This will be essential reading for anybody who wants to
understand how GFS2 interacts with the userland gfs_controld,
and the details of recovery.

This adds a link from the per-gfs2 sb sysfs directory to
the block device upon which the filesystem is mounted. The
link is called "device", strangely enough :-)

A little while back, block allocation was given some improved
error handling which meant that -EIO was returned in the case
of there being a problem in the resource group data. In addition
a message is printed explaning what went wrong and how to fix it.
This extends that error handling so that it also covers inode
allocation too.

With each uevent, we now always include the journal ID. We
can't call it JID since that is already in use by some of
the individual events relating to recovery, so we use
JOURNALID instead. We don't send the JOURNALID for spectator
mounts, since there isn't one.
Also the ADD event now has both RDONLY and SPECTATOR information
to match that of the ONLINE event.

We already have an offline uevent (used when a withdraw occurs)
but no online uevent. This adds an online uevent so that userspace
will be able to detect a successful mount by means other than
not receiving a remove event after the add & recovery (change)
uevents.
It has also been added to the remount path as well - we can't use
a change uevent there as older GFS2 userspace acts on change uevents
according to the state that it thinks the fs is in, so we can't
easily add any new ones.

Although this file is only ever written and not read by
userspace, it seems that the utils are opening this
file O_RDWR, so we need to allow that.
Also fixes the whitespace which seemed to be broken.

When searching for unlinked, but still allocated inodes during block
allocation, avoid the block relating to the inode that is doing the
allocation. This fixes a hang caused when an unlinked, but still
open, inode tries to allocate some more blocks and lands up
finding itself during the search for deallocatable inodes.

This patch removes some of the special cases that the shrinker
was trying to deal with. As a result we leave fewer items on
the list and none at all which cannot be demoted. This makes
the list scanning more efficient and solves some issues seen
with large numbers of inodes.
