      GFS2: Reduce file fragmentation · 8e2e0047
      Bob Peterson authored 
      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: Fixing double brelse'ing bh allocated in gfs2_meta_read when EIO occurs · 44b8db13
      Masatake YAMATO authored 
      This patch fixes buffer_head double free in following code path:

gfs2_block_map
=> gfs2_meta_inode_buffer
 => gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer
  => gfs2_meta_read
=> release_metapath

gfs2_block_map calls gfs2_meta_inode_buffer with &mp.mp_bh[0]
as an argument. mp.mp_bh are filled with zero at the beginning
of gfs2_block_map.

If gfs2_meta_inode_buffer returns non-zero value, gfs2_block_map
calls release_metapath to free buffers chained to mp.mp_bh.
release_metapath checks each slot of mp.mp_bh[i] and
free(with brelse) unless the slot is filled with NULL.

&mp.mp_bh[0] passed to gfs2_meta_inode_buffer is filled at
gfs2_meta_read. gfs2_meta_read is filled a buffer allocated with
gfs2_getbuf even if EIO occurs. When EIO occurs, the allocated buffer
is brelse'ed though the pointer(wrong poiner) points the brelse'ed is
passed back to caller via an argument bhp.

gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer, the caller also pass the wrong pointer
to its caller with EIO. Finally gfs2_block_map gets both EIO and
&mp.mp_bh[0] filled with the wrong pointer. release_metapath
calls brelse again on the wrong pointer.

      GFS2: Use lvbs for storing rgrp information with mount option · 90306c41
      Benjamin Marzinski authored 
      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.

      GFS2: Cache last hash bucket for glock seq_files · ba1ddcb6
      Steven Whitehouse authored 
      For the glocks and glstats seq_files, which are exposed via debugfs
we should cache the most recent hash bucket, along with the offset
into that bucket. This allows us to restart from that point, rather
than having to begin at the beginning each time.

This is an idea from Eric Dumazet, however I've slightly extended it
so that if the position from which we are due to start is at any
point beyond the last cached point, we start from the last cached
point, plus whatever is the appropriate offset. I don't really expect
people to be lseeking around these files, but if they did so with only
positive offsets, then we'd still get some of the benefit of using a
cached offset.

With my simple test of around 200k entries in the file, I'm seeing
an approx 10x speed up.
