This patch instructs DLM to prevent an "in place" conversion, where the
lock just stays on the granted queue, and instead forces the conversion to
the back of the convert queue. This is done on upward conversions only.
This is useful in cases where, for example, a lock is frequently needed in
PR on one node, but another node needs it temporarily in EX to update it.
This may happen, for example, when the rindex is being updated by gfs2_grow.
The gfs2_grow needs to have the lock in EX, but the other nodes need to
re-read it to retrieve the updates. The glock is already granted in PR on
the non-growing nodes, so this prevents them from continually re-granting
the lock in PR, and forces the EX from gfs2_grow to go through.

GFS2: Allow caching of rindex glock
GFS2: Make sure rindex is uptodate before starting transactions
GFS2: use depends instead of select in kconfig
GFS2: put glock reference in error patch of read_rindex_entry
This patch allows caching of the rindex glock. We were previously
setting the GL_NOCACHE bit when the glock was released. That forced
the rindex inode to be invalidated, which caused us to re-read
rindex at the next access. However, it caused the glock to be
unnecessarily bounced around the cluster. This patch allows
the glock to remain cached, but it still causes the rindex to be
re-read once it has been written to by gfs2_grow.

clustered gfs2_grow cases on my four-node cluster.

gfs2_fallocate was calling gfs2_write_alloc_required() once at the start of
the function. This caused problems since gfs2_write_alloc_required used a
long unsigned int for the len, but gfs2_fallocate could allocate a much
larger amount. This patch will move the call into the loop where the
chunks are actually allocated and zeroed out. This will keep the allocation
size under the limit, and also allow gfs2_fallocate to quickly skip over
sections of the file that are already completely allocated.
fallcate_chunk was also not correctly setting the file size. It was using the
len veriable to find the last block written to, but by the time it was setting
the size, the len variable had already been decremented to 0.

We already send both a pre and post flush to the block device
when writing a journal header. There is no need to wait for
the previous I/O specifically when we do this, unless we've
turned "barriers" off.
As a side effect, this also cleans up the code path for flushing
the journal and makes it more readable.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
In order to ensure that we've got enough buffer heads for flushing
the journal, the orignal code used __GFP_NOFAIL when performing
this allocation. Here we dispense with that in favour of using a
mempool. This should improve efficiency in low memory conditions
since flushing the journal is a good way to get memory back, we
don't want to be spinning, waiting on memory allocations. The
buffers which are allocated via this mempool are fairly short lived,
so that we'll recycle them pretty quickly.
Although there are other memory allocations which occur during the
journal flush process, this is the one which can potentially require
the most memory, so the most important one to fix.
The amount of memory reserved is a fixed amount, and we should not need
to scale it when there are a greater number of filesystems in use.

Over time, we've slowly eliminated the use of sd_rindex_mutex.
Up to this point, it was only used in two places: function
gfs2_ri_total (which totals the file system size by reading
and parsing the rindex file) and function gfs2_rindex_update
which updates the rgrps in memory. Both of these functions have
the rindex glock to protect them, so the rindex is unnecessary.
Since gfs2_grow writes to the rindex via the meta_fs, the mutex
is in the wrong order according to the normal rules. This patch
eliminates the mutex entirely to avoid the problem.

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.

The stats are divided into two sets: those relating to the
super block and those relating to an individual glock. The
super block stats are done on a per cpu basis in order to
try and reduce the overhead of gathering them. They are also
further divided by glock type.
In the case of both the super block and glock statistics,
the same information is gathered in each case. The super
block statistics are used to provide default values for
most of the glock statistics, so that newly created glocks
should have, as far as possible, a sensible starting point.
The statistics are divided into three pairs of mean and
variance, plus two counters. The mean/variance pairs are
smoothed exponential estimates and the algorithm used is
one which will be very familiar to those used to calculation
of round trip times in network code.
The three pairs of mean/variance measure the following
things:
1. DLM lock time (non-blocking requests)
2. DLM lock time (blocking requests)
3. Inter-request time (again to the DLM)
A non-blocking request is one which will complete right
away, whatever the state of the DLM lock in question. That
currently means any requests when (a) the current state of
the lock is exclusive (b) the requested state is either null
or unlocked or (c) the "try lock" flag is set. A blocking
request covers all the other lock requests.
There are two counters. The first is there primarily to show
how many lock requests have been made, and thus how much data
has gone into the mean/variance calculations. The other counter
is counting queueing of holders at the top layer of the glock
code. Hopefully that number will be a lot larger than the number
of dlm lock requests issued.
So why gather these statistics? There are several reasons
we'd like to get a better idea of these timings:
1. To be able to better set the glock "min hold time"
2. To spot performance issues more easily
3. To improve the algorithm for selecting resource groups for
allocation (to base it on lock wait time, rather than blindly
using a "try lock")
Due to the smoothing action of the updates, a step change in
some input quantity being sampled will only fully be taken
into account after 8 samples (or 4 for the variance) and this
needs to be carefully considered when interpreting the
results.
Knowing both the time it takes a lock request to complete and
the average time between lock requests for a glock means we
can compute the total percentage of the time for which the
node is able to use a glock vs. time that the rest of the
cluster has its share. That will be very useful when setting
the lock min hold time.
The other point to remember is that all times are in
nanoseconds. Great care has been taken to ensure that we
measure exactly the quantities that we want, as accurately
as possible. There are always inaccuracies in any
measuring system, but I hope this is as accurate as we
can reasonably make it.

This makes mount take slightly longer, but at the same time, the first
write to the filesystem will be faster too. It also means that if there
is a problem in the resource index, then we can refuse to mount rather
than having to try and report that when the first write occurs.
In addition, to avoid recursive locking, we hvae to take account of
instances when the rindex glock may already be held when we are
trying to update the rbtree of resource groups.

This patch fixes a problem whereby gfs2_grow was failing and causing GFS2
to assert. The problem was that when GFS2's fallocate operation tried to
acquire an "allocation" it made sure the rindex was up to date, and if not,
it called gfs2_rindex_update. However, if the file being fallocated was
the rindex itself, it was already locked at that point. By calling
gfs2_rindex_update at an earlier point in time, we bring rindex up to date
and thereby avoid trying to lock it when the "allocation" is acquired.

Previously, a spectator mount would not even attempt to do

This is unnecessary since the failed node had a clean journal.
Instead, allow a spectator mount to do a partial "read only"
recovery, which means it will check if the failed journal is
clean, and if so, report a successful recovery. If the failed
journal is not clean, it reports that journal recovery failed.

This patch is a revision of the one I previously posted.
I tried to integrate all the suggestions Steve gave.
The purpose of the patch is to change function gfs2_alloc_block
(allocate either a dinode block or an extent of data blocks)
to a more generic gfs2_alloc_blocks function that can
allocate both a dinode _and_ an extent of data blocks in the
same call. This will ultimately help us create a multi-block
reservation scheme to reduce file fragmentation.
This patch moves more toward a generic multi-block allocator that
takes a pointer to the number of data blocks to allocate, plus whether
or not to allocate a dinode. In theory, it could be called to allocate
(1) a single dinode block, (2) a group of one or more data blocks, or
(3) a dinode plus several data blocks.

Add sync of metadata after fallocate for O_SYNC files to ensure that we

Unfortunately, the offset and len parameters are modified during the
course of the fallocate function, so I've had to add a couple of new

I know that potentially this will sync data as well within the range,
but I think that is a fairly harmless side-effect overall, since we
would not normally expect there to be any dirty data within the range in

The i_mutex lock use of generic _file_llseek hurts. Independent processes
accessing the same file synchronize over a single lock, even though
they have no need for synchronization at all.
Under high utilization this can cause llseek to scale very poorly on larger
systems.
This patch does some rethinking of the llseek locking model:
First the 64bit f_pos is not necessarily atomic without locks
on 32bit systems. This can already cause races with read() today.
This was discussed on linux-kernel in the past and deemed acceptable.
The patch does not change that.
Let's look at the different seek variants:
SEEK_SET: Doesn't really need any locking.
If there's a race one writer wins, the other loses.
For 32bit the non atomic update races against read()
stay the same. Without a lock they can also happen
against write() now. The read() race was deemed
acceptable in past discussions, and I think if it's
ok for read it's ok for write too.
=> Don't need a lock.
SEEK_END: This behaves like SEEK_SET plus it reads
the maximum size too. Reading the maximum size would have the
32bit atomic problem. But luckily we already have a way to read
the maximum size without locking (i_size_read), so we
can just use that instead.
Without i_mutex there is no synchronization with write() anymore,
however since the write() update is atomic on 64bit it just behaves
like another racy SEEK_SET. On non atomic 32bit it's the same
as SEEK_SET.
=> Don't need a lock, but need to use i_size_read()
SEEK_CUR: This has a read-modify-write race window
on the same file. One could argue that any application
doing unsynchronized seeks on the same file is already broken.
But for the sake of not adding a regression here I'm
using the file->f_lock to synchronize this. Using this
lock is much better than the inode mutex because it doesn't
synchronize between processes.
=> So still need a lock, but can use a f_lock.
This patch implements this new scheme in generic_file_llseek.
I dropped generic_file_llseek_unlocked and changed all callers.

Bob reported:
I found an off-by-one problem with how I coded this section:
It should be:
+ else if (blk >= cur->rd_data0 + cur->rd_data)
In fact, cur->rd_data0 + cur->rd_data is the start of the next
rgrp (the next ri_addr), so without the "=" check it can land on
the wrong rgrp.
In all normal cases, this won't be a problem: you're searching
for a block _within_ the rgrp, which will pass the test properly.
Where it gets into trouble is if you search the rgrps for the
block exactly equal to ri_addr. I don't think anything in the
kernel does this, but I found a place in gfs2-utils gfs2_edit
where it does. So I definitely need to fix it in libgfs2. I'd
like to suggest we fix it in the kernel as well for the sake of
keeping the functions similar.

This patch brings gfs2's ->page_mkwrite uptodate with respect to the
expectations set by the VM. Also added is a check to wait if the fs
is frozen, before we attempt to get a glock. This will only work on
the node which initiates the freeze, but thats ok since the transaction
lock will still provide the expected barrier on other nodes.
The major change here is that we return a locked page now, except when
we don't return a page at all (error cases). This removes the race

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.

Each block which is deallocated, requires a call to gfs2_rlist_add()
and each of those calls was calling gfs2_blk2rgrpd() in order to
figure out which rgrp the block belonged in. This can be speeded up
by making use of the rgrp cached in the inode. We also reset this
cached rgrp in case the block has changed rgrp. This should provide
a big reduction in gfs2_blk2rgrpd() calls during deallocation.

The recursive_scan() function only ever takes a single "bc"
argument, so we might as well just call do_strip() directly
from resource_scan() rather than pass it in as an argument.
Also the "data" argument is always a struct strip_mine, so
we can pass that in, rather than using a void pointer.
This also moves do_strip() ahead of recursive_scan() so that
we don't need to add a prototype.

Given that a resource group has been locked, there is no reason why
we should not be able to allocate as many blocks as are free. The

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.

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.

Here is an update of Bob's original rbtree patch which, in addition, also
resolves the rather strange ref counting that was being done relating to
the bitmap blocks.
Originally we had a dual system for journaling resource groups. The metadata
blocks were journaled and also the rgrp itself was added to a list. The reason
for adding the rgrp to the list in the journal was so that the "repolish
clones" code could be run to update the free space, and potentially send any
discard requests when the log was flushed. This was done by comparing the
"cloned" bitmap with what had been written back on disk during the transaction
commit.
Due to this, there was a requirement to hang on to the rgrps' bitmap buffers
until the journal had been flushed. For that reason, there was a rather
complicated set up in the ->go_lock ->go_unlock functions for rgrps involving
both a mutex and a spinlock (the ->sd_rindex_spin) to maintain a reference
count on the buffers.
However, the journal maintains a reference count on the buffers anyway, since
they are being journaled as metadata buffers. So by moving the code which deals
with the post-journal accounting for bitmap blocks to the metadata journaling
code, we can entirely dispense with the rather strange buffer ref counting
scheme and also the requirement to journal the rgrps.
The net result of all this is that the ->sd_rindex_spin is left to do exactly
one job, and that is to look after the rbtree or rgrps.
This patch is designed to be a stepping stone towards using RCU for the rbtree
of resource groups, however the reduction in the number of uses of the
->sd_rindex_spin is likely to have benefits for multi-threaded workloads,
anyway.
The patch retains ->go_lock and ->go_unlock for rgrps, however these maybe also
be removed in future in favour of calling the functions directly where required
in the code. That will allow locking of resource groups without needing to
actually read them in - something that could be useful in speeding up statfs.
In the mean time though it is valid to dereference ->bi_bh only when the rgrp
is locked. This is basically the same rule as before, modulo the references not
being valid until the following journal flush.

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.

Journaled data requires that a complete flush of all dirty data for
the file is done, in order that the ail flush which comes after
will succeed.
Also the recently enhanced bug trap can trigger falsely in case
an ail flush from fsync races with a page read. This updates the
bug trap such that it will ignore buffers which are locked and
only trigger on dirty and/or pinned buffers when the ail flush
is run from fsync. The original bug trap is retained when ail
flush is run from ->go_sync()

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.

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.

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.

There is a potential race during filesystem mounting which has recently
been reported. It occurs when the userland gfs_controld is able to
process requests fast enough that it tries to use the sysfs interface
before the lock module is properly initialised. This is a pretty
unusual case as normally the lock module initialisation is very quick
compared with gfs_controld.
This patch adds an interruptible completion which is used to ensure that
userland will wait for the initialisation of the lock module to
complete.
There are other potential solutions to this problem, but this is the
quickest at this stage and has been tested both with and without
mount.gfs2 present in the system.

Right now, there is nothing that forces the log to get flushed when a node
drops its rindex glock so that another node can grow the filesystem. If the
log doesn't get flushed, GFS2 can corrupt the sd_log_le_rg list in the
following way.
A node puts an rgd on the list in rg_lo_add(), and then the rindex glock is
dropped so the other node can grow the filesystem. When the node reacquires the
rindex glock, that rgd gets deleted in clear_rgrpdi() before ever being
removed from the list by gfs2_log_flush().
This code simply forces a log flush when the rindex glock is invalidated,
solving the problem.

This patch fixes a race in the GFS2 glock state machine that may
result in lockups. The symptom is that all nodes but one will
hang, waiting for a particular glock. All the holder records
will have the "W" (Waiting) bit set. The other node will
typically have the glock stuck in Exclusive mode (EX) with no
holder records, but the dinode will be cached. In other words,
an entry with "I:" will appear in the glock dump for that glock,
but nothing else.
The race has to do with the glock "Pending Demote" bit, which
can be set, then immediately reset, thus losing the fact that
another node needs the glock. The sequence of events is:
1. Something schedules the glock workqueue (e.g. glock request from fs)
2. The glock workqueue gets to the point between the test of the reply pending
bit and the spin lock:
if (test_and_clear_bit(GLF_REPLY_PENDING, &gl->gl_flags)) {
finish_xmote(gl, gl->gl_reply);
drop_ref = 1;
}
down_read(&gfs2_umount_flush_sem); <---- i.e. here
spin_lock(&gl->gl_spin);
3. In comes (a) the reply to our EX lock request setting GLF_REPLY_PENDING and
(b) the demote request which sets GLF_PENDING_DEMOTE
4. The following test is executed:
if (test_and_clear_bit(GLF_PENDING_DEMOTE, &gl->gl_flags) &&
gl->gl_state != LM_ST_UNLOCKED &&
gl->gl_demote_state != LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE) {
This resets the pending demote flag, and gl->gl_demote_state is not equal to
exclusive, however because the reply from the dlm arrived after we checked for
the GLF_REPLY_PENDING flag, gl->gl_state is still equal to unlocked, so
although we reset the GLF_PENDING_DEMOTE flag, we didn't then set the
GLF_DEMOTE flag or reinstate the GLF_PENDING_DEMOTE_FLAG.
The patch closes the timing window by only transitioning the
"Pending demote" bit to the "demote" flag once we know the
other conditions (not unlocked and not exclusive) are met.

The ail flush code has always relied upon log flushing to prevent
it from spinning needlessly. This fixes it to wait on the last
I/O request submitted (we don't need to wait for all of it)
instead of either spinning with io_schedule or sleeping.
As a result cpu usage of gfs2_logd is much reduced with certain
workloads.

The deallocation code for directories in GFS2 is largely divided into
two parts. The first part deallocates any directory leaf blocks and
marks the directory as being a regular file when that is complete. The
second stage was identical to deallocating regular files.
Regular files have their data blocks in a different
address space to directories, and thus what would have been normal data
blocks in a regular file (the hash table in a GFS2 directory) were
deallocated correctly. However, a reference to these blocks was left in the
journal (assuming of course that some previous activity had resulted in
those blocks being in the journal or ail list).
This patch uses the i_depth as a test of whether the inode is an
exhash directory (we cannot test the inode type as that has already
been changed to a regular file at this stage in deallocation)
The original issue was reported by Chris Hertel as an issue he encountered
running bonnie++

This function was intended for debugging purposes, but it is not very
useful. If we want to know what is on disk then all we need is a
block number and gfs2_edit can give us much better information about
what is there. Otherwise, if we are interested in what is stored in
the in-core inode, it doesn't help us out there either.

This adds an increment of the link count when we add a new directory
entry, if that entry is itself a directory. This means that we no
longer need separate code to perform this operation.
Now that both adding and removing directory entries automatically
update the parent directory's link count if required, that makes
the code shorter and simpler than before.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
When we remove an entry from a directory, we can save ourselves
some trouble if we know the type of the entry in question, since
if it is itself a directory, we can update the link count of the
parent at the same time as removing the directory entry.
In addition this patch also merges the rmdir and unlink code which
was almost identical anyway. This eliminates the calls to remove
the . and .. directory entries on each rmdir (not needed since the
directory will be deallocated, anyway) which was the only thing preventing
passing the dentry to gfs2_dir_del(). The passing of the dentry
rather than just the name allows us to figure out the type of the entry
which is being removed, and thus adjust the link count when required.

There are three users of gfs2_change_nlink which add to the link

Previously we marked all locks being promoted to a higher mode
with the try flag to avoid any potential deadlocks issues. The
DLM is able to detect these and report them in way that GFS2 can
deal with them correctly. So we can just request the required mode
and wait for a response without needing to perform this check.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
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.
