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

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

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).

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

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.

This removes the extra filldir callback which gfs2 was using to enclose an attempt at readahead for inodes during readdir. The code was too complicated and also hurts performance badly in the case that the getdents64/readdir call isn't being followed by stat() and it wasn't even getting it right all the time when it was. As a result, on my test box an "ls" of a directory containing 250000 files fell from about 7mins (freshly mounted, so nothing cached) to between about 15 to 25 seconds. When the directory content was cached, the time taken fell from about 3mins to about 4 or 5 seconds. Interestingly in the cached case, running "ls -l" once reduced the time taken for subsequent runs of "ls" to about 6 secs even without this patch. Now it turns out that there was a special case of glocks being used for prefetching the metadata, but because of the timeouts for these locks (set to 10 secs) the metadata was being timed out before it was being used and this the prefetch code was constantly trying to prefetch the same data over and over. Calling "ls -l" meant that the inodes were brought into memory and once the inodes are cached, the glocks are not disposed of until the inodes are pushed out of the cache, thus extending the lifetime of the glocks, and thus bringing down the time for subsequent runs of "ls" considerably.

It occurred to me that although a gfs2 specific writepages for ordered writes and journaled data would be tricky, by hooking writepages only for "data=writeback" mounts we could take advantage of not needing buffer heads (we don't use them on the read side, nor have we for some time) and create much larger I/Os for the block layer. Using blktrace both before and after, its possible to see that for large I/Os, most of the requests generated through writepages are now 1024 sectors after this patch is applied as opposed to 8 sectors before.

If master recovery happens on an rsb in one recovery sequence, then that sequence is aborted before lock recovery happens, then in the next sequence, we rely on the previous master recovery (which may now be invalid due to another node ignoring a lookup result) and go on do to the lock recovery where we get stuck due to an invalid master value. recovery cycle begins: master of rsb X has left nodes A and B send node C an rcom lookup for X to find the new master C gets lookup from B first, sets B as new master, and sends reply back to B C gets lookup from A next, and sends reply back to A saying B is master A gets lookup reply from C and sets B as the new master in the rsb recovery cycle on A, B and C is aborted to start a new recovery B gets lookup reply from C and ignores it since there's a new recovery recovery cycle begins: some other node has joined B doesn't think it's the master of X so it doesn't rebuild it in the directory C looks up the master of X, no one is master, so it becomes new master B looks up the master of X, finds it's C A believes that B is the master of X, so it sends its lock to B B sends an error back to A A resends this repeats forever, the incorrect master value on A is never corrected The fix is to do master recovery on an rsb that still has the NEW_MASTER flag set from an earlier recovery sequence, and therefore didn't complete lock recovery.

When a user process exits, we clear all the locks it holds. There is a problem, though, with locks that the process had begun unlocking before it exited. We couldn't find the lkb's that were in the process of being unlocked remotely, to flag that they are DEAD. To solve this, we move lkb's being unlocked onto a new list in the per-process structure that tracks what locks the process is holding. We can then go through this list to flag the necessary lkb's when clearing locks for a process when it exits.

This is for Red Hat bugzilla bug bz #222302: Moving a virtual IP from node to node between two NFS-over-GFS2 servers was causing one of the GFS2 servers to become confused and reference a deleted inode. The problem was due to vfs dentries that did not reference the gfs2_dops and therefore didn't call the gfs2 revalidate code to revalidate a dentry after a directory had been deleted & recreated. This patch is a crosswrite from a RHEL4 bug found in GFS1 as bz #190756 and it is against the latest -nmw git tree.

In case of unlinked files with dirty pages GFS2 wasn't clearing the pages in quite the right order.

Bugzilla 215088 Fix deadlock in gfs2_change_nlink() while installing RHEL5 into GFS2 partition. The gfs2_rename() apparently needs block allocation for the new name (into the directory) where it requires rg locks. At the same time, while updating the nlink count for the replaced file, gfs2_change_nlink() tries to return the inode meta-data back to resource group where it needs rg locks too. Our logic doesn't allow process to acquire these locks recursively by the same process (RHEL installer) that results a BUG call. This only happens within rename code path and only if the destination file exists before the rename operation. Signed-off-by: S.

This is partially derrived from a patch written by Russell Cattelan. It fixes a bug where there is a race between readpages and truncate by ignoring readpages for stuffed files. This is ok because a stuffed file will never be more than one block (minus sizeof(struct gfs2_dinode)) in size and block size is always less than page size, so we do not lose anything efficiency-wise by not doing readahead for stuffed files. They will have already been "read ahead" by the action of reading the inode in, in the first place. This is the remaining part of the fix for Red Hat bugzilla #218966 which had not yet made it upstream.

This patch fixes Red Hat bugzilla #212627 in which a deadlock occurs due to trying to take the i_mutex while holding a glock. The correct locking order is defined as i_mutex -> glock in all cases. I've left dealing with allocating writes. I know that we need to do that, but for now this should do the trick. We don't need to take the i_mutex on write, because the VFS has already taken it for us. On read we don't need it since the glock is enough protection. The reason that I've made some of the checks into a separate function is that we'll need to do the checks again in the allocating write case eventually, so this is partly in preparation for this. Likewise the return value test of != 1 might look a bit odd and thats because we'll need a third return value in case of requiring an allocation. I've made the change to deferred mode on the glock to ensure flushing read caches on other nodes. I notice that (using blktrace to look at whats going on) we appear to do a better job of large I/Os than ext3 after this patch (in terms of not splitting up the I/Os).

When the dlm fakes an unlock/cancel reply from a failed node using a stub message struct, it wasn't setting the flags in the stub message. So, in the process of receiving the fake message the lkb flags would be updated and cleared from the zero flags in the message. The problem observed in tests was the loss of the USER flag which caused the dlm to think a user lock was a kernel lock and subsequently fail an assertion checking the validity of the ast/callback field.

LVB's are not sent as part of new requests, but the code receiving the request was copying data into the lvb anyway. The space in the message where it mistakenly thought the lvb lived actually contained the resource name, so it wound up incorrectly copying this name data into the lvb.

The send_args() function is used to copy parameters into a message for a number different message types. Only some of those types are set up beforehand (in create_message) to include space for sending lvb data. send_args was wrongly copying the lvb for all message types as long as the lock had an lvb. This means that the lvb data was being written past the end of the message into unknown space.

A reply to a recovery message will often be received after the relevant recovery sequence has aborted and the next recovery sequence has begun. We need to ignore replies to these old messages from the previous recovery. There's already a way to do this for synchronous recovery requests using the rc_id number, but not for async. Each recovery sequence already has a locally unique sequence number associated with it. This patch adds a field to the rcom (recovery message) structure where this recovery sequence number can be placed, rc_seq. When a node sends a reply to a recovery request, it copies the rc_seq number it received into rc_seq_reply. When the first node receives the reply to its recovery message, it will check whether rc_seq_reply matches the current recovery sequence number, ls_recover_seq, and if not then it ignores the old reply. An old, inadequate approach to filtering out old replies (checking if the current stage of recovery has moved back to the start) has been removed from two spots. The protocol version number is changed to reflect the different rcom structures. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

There's a chance the new master of resource hasn't learned it's the new master before another node sends it a lock during recovery. The node sending the lock needs to resend if this happens. - A sends a master lookup for resource R to C - B sends a master lookup for resource R to C - C receives A's lookup, assigns A to be master of R and sends a reply back to A - C receives B's lookup and sends a reply back to B saying that A is the master - B receives lookup reply from C and sends its lock for R to A - A receives lock from B, doesn't think it's the master of R and sends an error back to B - A receives lookup reply from C and becomes master of R - B gets error back from A and resends its lock back to A (this resending is what this patch does) - A receives lock from B, it now sees it's the master of R and takes the lock Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
