58e9fee13e [GFS2] Invalidate cache at correct point
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.

840ca0ec70 [GFS2] Fix bug where we called drop_bh incorrectly
As a result of an earlier patch, drop_bh was being called in cases
when it shouldn't have been. Since we never have a gh in the drop
case and we always have a gh in the promote case, we can use that
extra information to tell which case has been seen.

da755fdb41 [GFS2] Remove lm.[ch] and distribute content
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.

398bbe6832 [GFS2] Reorganize function gfs2_glmutex_lock
This patch optimizes the function gfs2_glmutex_lock.
The basic theory is: Why bother initializing a holder, setting up
wait bits and then waiting on them, if you know the glock can be
yours.  So the holder stuff is placed inside the if checking if the
glock is locked.  This one needs careful scrutiny because changing
anything to do with locking should strike terror into one's heart.

The issue is indeed UP vs SMP and it is totally random.

2bcd610d2f [GFS2] Don't add glocks to the journal
The only reason for adding glocks to the journal was to keep track
of which locks required a log flush prior to release. We add a
flag to the glock to allow this check to be made in a simpler way.

This reduces the size of a glock (by 12 bytes on i386, 24 on x86_64)
and means that we can avoid extra work during the journal flush.

e589665eb9 [GFS2] Remove flags no longer required
The HIF_MUTEX and HIF_PROMOTE flags were set on the glock holders
depending upon which of the two waiters lists they were going to
be queued upon. They were then tested when the holders were taken
off the lists to ensure that the right type of holder was being
dequeued.

Since we are already using separate lists, there doesn't seem a
lot of point having these flags as well, and since setting them
and testing them is in the fast path for locking and unlocking
glock, this patch removes them.

Also I noticed that the drop_bh and xmote_bh functions were almost

test is such that in the drop_bh case, it would always evaluate to

b4c20166dc [GFS2] flocks from same process trip kernel BUG at fs/gfs2/glock.c:1118!
This patch adds a new flag to the gfs2_holder structure GL_FLOCK.
It is set on holders of glocks representing flocks. This flag is
checked in add_to_queue() and a process is permitted to queue more
than one holder onto a glock if it is set. This solves the issue
of a process not being able to do multiple flocks on the same file.
Through a single descriptor, a process can now promote and demote
flocks. Through multiple descriptors a process can now queue
multiple flocks on the same file. There's still the problem of
a process deadlocking itself (because gfs2 blocking locks are not
interruptible) by queueing incompatible deadlock.

c4f68a130f [GFS2] delay glock demote for a minimum hold time
When a lot of IO, with some distributed mmap IO, is run on a GFS2 filesystem in
a cluster, it will deadlock. The reason is that do_no_page() will repeatedly
call gfs2_sharewrite_nopage(), because each node keeps giving up the glock
too early, and is forced to call unmap_mapping_range(). This bumps the
mapping->truncate_count sequence count, forcing do_no_page() to retry. This
patch institutes a minimum glock hold time a tenth a second.  This insures
that even in heavy contention cases, the node has enough time to get some
useful work done before it gives up the glock.

A second issue is that when gfs2_glock_dq() is called from within a page fault
to demote a lock, and the associated page needs to be written out, it will
try to acqire a lock on it, but it has already been locked at a higher level.
This patch puts makes gfs2_glock_dq() use the work queue as well, to avoid this
issue. This is the same patch as Steve Whitehouse originally proposed to fix
this issue, execpt that gfs2_glock_dq() now grabs a reference to the glock
before it queues up the work on it.

eaf5bd3cac [GFS2] Simplify multiple glock aquisition
There is a bug in the code which acquires multiple glocks where if the
initial out-of-order attempt fails part way though we can land up trying
to acquire the wrong number of glocks. This is part of the fix for red
hat bz #239737. The other part of the bz doesn't apply to upstream
kernels since it was fixed by:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=d3717bdf8f08a0e1039158c8bab2c24d20f492b6

Since the out-of-order code doesn't appear to add anything to the
performance of GFS2, this patch just removed it rather than trying to
fix it. It should be much easier to see whats going on here now. In
addition, we don't allocate any memory unless we are using a lot of
glocks (which is a relatively uncommon case).

d93cfa9884 [GFS2] Fix deallocation issues
There were two issues during deallocation of unlinked inodes. The
first was relating to the use of a "try" lock which in the case of
the inode lock wasn't trying hard enough to deallocate in all
circumstances (now changed to a normal glock) and in the case of
the iopen lock didn't wait for the demotion of the shared lock before
attempting to get the exclusive lock, and thereby sometimes (timing dependent)
not completing the deallocation when it should have done.

The second issue related to the lack of a way to invalidate dcache entries
on remote nodes (now fixed by this patch) which meant that unlinks were
taking a long time to return disk space to the fs. By adding some code to
invalidate the dcache entries across the cluster for unlinked inodes, that
is now fixed.

This patch was written jointly by Abhijith Das and Steven Whitehouse.

dbb7cae2a3 [GFS2] Clean up inode number handling
This patch cleans up the inode number handling code. The main difference
is that instead of looking up the inodes using a struct gfs2_inum_host
we now use just the no_addr member of this structure. The tests relating
to no_formal_ino can then be done by the calling code. This has
advantages in that we want to do different things in different code
paths if the no_formal_ino doesn't match. In the NFS patch we want to
return -ESTALE, but in the ->lookup() path, its a bug in the fs if the
no_formal_ino doesn't match and thus we can withdraw in this case.

In order to later fix bz #201012, we need to be able to look up an inode
without knowing no_formal_ino, as the only information that is known to
us is the on-disk location of the inode in question.

This patch will also help us to fix bz #236099 at a later date by
cleaning up a lot of the code in that area.

There are no user visible changes as a result of this patch and there
are no changes to the on-disk format either.

3. It recasts a couple more %llu printks to (unsigned long long)

1. I fixed a minor compiler warning regarding the printing of

2. I implemented a suggestion from Dave Teigland that moves

   we can easily expand our use of debugfs in the future.
   The current code keeps the glock information in:
   /debug/gfs2/<fs>
   With the patch, the new code keeps the glock information in:
   /debug/gfs2/<fs>/glock
   That will allow us to create more debugfs files in the future.
3. This fixes a bug whereby a failed mount attempt causes the
   debugfs file to not be deleted.  Failed mount attempts should
   always clean up after themselves, including deleting the
   debugfs file and/or directory.

04b933f27b [GFS2] Red Hat bz 228540: owner references
In Testing the previously posted and accepted patch for
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228540
I uncovered some gfs2 badness.  It turns out that the current
gfs2 code saves off a process pointer when glocks is taken
in both the glock and glock holder structures.  Those
structures will persist in memory long after the process has
ended; pointers to poisoned memory.

This problem isn't caused by the 228540 fix; the new capability
introduced by the fix just uncovered the problem.

I wrote this patch that avoids saving process pointers
and instead saves off the process pid.  Rather than
referencing the bad pointers, it now does process lookups.
There is special code that makes the output nicer for
printing holder information for processes that have ended.

This patch also adds a stub for the new "sprint_symbol"
function that exists in Andrew Morton's -mm patch set, but
won't go into the base kernel until 2.6.22, since it adds
functionality but doesn't fix a bug.

3b8249f617 [GFS2] Fix bz 224480 and cleanup glock demotion code
This patch prevents the printing of a warning message in cases where
the fs is functioning normally by handing off responsibility for
unlinked, but still open inodes, to another node for eventual deallocation.
Also, there is now an improved system for ensuring that such requests
to other nodes do not get lost. The callback on the iopen lock is
only ever called when i_nlink == 0 and when a node is unable to deallocate
it due to it still being in use on another node. When a node receives
the callback therefore, it knows that i_nlink must be zero, so we mark
it as such (in gfs2_drop_inode) in order that it will then attempt
deallocation of the inode itself.

As an additional benefit, queuing a demote request no longer requires
a memory allocation. This simplifies the code for dealing with gfs2_holders
as it removes one special case.

There are two new fields in struct gfs2_glock. gl_demote_state is the
state which the remote node has requested and gl_demote_time is the
time when the request came in. Both fields are only valid when the
GLF_DEMOTE flag is set in gl_flags.

61be084efc [GFS2] Put back semaphore to avoid umount problem
Dave Teigland fixed this bug a while back, but I managed to mistakenly
remove the semaphore during later development. It is required to avoid
the list of inodes changing during an invalidate_inodes call. I have
made it an rwsem since the read side will be taken frequently during
normal filesystem operation. The write site will only happen during
umount of the file system.

Also the bug only triggers when using the DLM lock manager and only then
under certain conditions as its timing related.

12132933c4 [GFS2] Remove queue_empty() function
This function is not longer required since we do not do recursive
locking in the glock layer. As a result all its callers can be
replaceed with list_empty() calls.

b5d32bead1 [GFS2] Tidy up glops calls
This patch doesn't make any changes to the ordering of the various
operations related to glocking, but it does tidy up the calls to the
glops.c functions to make the structure more obvious.

The two functions: gfs2_glock_xmote_th() and gfs2_glock_drop_th() can be
made static within glock.c since they are called by every set of glock
operations. The xmote_th and drop_th glock operations are then made
conditional upon those two routines existing and called from the
previously mentioned functions in glock.c respectively.

Also it can be seen that the go_sync operation isn't needed since it can
easily be replaced by calls to xmote_bh and drop_bh respectively. This
results in no longer (confusingly) calling back into routines in glock.c
from glops.c and also reducing the glock operations by one member.

1c0f4872dc [GFS2] Remove local exclusive glock mode
Here is a patch for GFS2 to remove the local exclusive flag. In
the places it was used, mutex's are always held earlier in the
call path, so it appears redundant in the LM_ST_SHARED case.

Also, the GFS2 holders were setting local exclusive in any case where
the requested lock was LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE. So the other places in the glock
code where the flag was tested have been replaced with tests for the
lock state being LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE in order to ensure the logic is the
same as before (i.e. LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE is always locally exclusive as well
as globally exclusive).

e5dab552c8 [GFS2] Remove the "greedy" function from glock.[ch]
The "greedy" code was an attempt to retain glocks for a minimum length
of time when they relate to mmap()ed files. The current implementation
of this feature is not, however, ideal in that it required allocating
memory in order to do this and its overly complicated.

It also misses the mark by ignoring the other I/O operations which are
just as likely to suffer from the same problem. So the plan is to remove
this now and then add the functionality back as part of the glock state
machine at a later date (and thus take into account all the possible
users of this feature)

fee852e374 [GFS2] Shrink gfs2_inode memory by half
Here is something I spotted (while looking for something entirely
different) the other day.

Rather than using a completion in each and every struct gfs2_holder,
this removes it in favour of hashed wait queues, thus saving a
considerable amount of memory both on the stack (where a number of
gfs2_holder structures are allocated) and in particular in the
gfs2_inode which has 8 gfs2_holder structures embedded within it.

As a result on x86_64 the gfs2_inode shrinks from 2488 bytes to
1912 bytes, a saving of 576 bytes per inode (no thats not a typo!).
In actual practice we get a much better result than that since
now that a gfs2_inode is under the 2048 byte barrier, we get two
per 4k slab page effectively halving the amount of memory required
to store gfs2_inodes.
