      GFS2: Remove localcaching mount option · c2048b00
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      This option defaulted to on for lock_nolock mounts and off
      otherwise. The only function was to avoid the revalidation of
      dentries. In the cluster case, that is entirely pointless and
      liable to cause coherency problems.
      
      The patch changes the revalidation to depend upon whether the
      fs is a local or cluster fs (i.e. it follows the existing default
      behaviour). I very much doubt anybody ever used this option as
      there is no reason to. Even so we will continue to accept it
      on the mount command line, but ignore it.

      GFS2: Use new workqueue scheme · 9fa0ea9f
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      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.

      GFS2: Update handling of DLM return codes to match reality · 1fea7c25
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      GFS2's idea of which return codes it needs to handle was based
      upon those listed in dlm.h. Those didn't cover all the possible
      codes and listed some which never happen. This updates GFS2 to
      handle all the codes which can actually be returned from the
      DLM under various circumstances.

      GFS2: Don't enforce min hold time when two demotes occur in rapid succession · 7b5e3d5f
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      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.

      GFS2: fallocate support · 3921120e
      Benjamin Marzinski authored
      This patch adds support for fallocate to gfs2.  Since the gfs2 does not support
      uninitialized data blocks, it must write out zeros to all the blocks.  However,
      since it does not need to lock any pages to read from, gfs2 can write out the
      zero blocks much more efficiently.  On a moderately full filesystem, fallocate
      works around 5 times faster on average.  The fallocate call also allows gfs2 to
      add blocks to the file without changing the filesize, which will make it
      possible for gfs2 to preallocate space for the rindex file, so that gfs2 can
      grow a completely full filesystem.

      alpha: deal with multiple simultaneously pending signals · 494486a1
      Al Viro authored
      Unlike the other targets, alpha sets _one_ sigframe and
      buggers off until the next syscall/interrupt, even if
      more signals are pending.  It leads to quite a few unpleasant
      inconsistencies, starting with SIGSEGV potentially arriving
      not where it should and including e.g. mess with sigsuspend();
      consider two pending signals blocked until sigsuspend()
      unblocks them.  We pick the first one; then, if we are hit
      by interrupt while in the handler, we process the second one
      as well.  If we are not, and if no syscalls had been made,
      we get out of the first handler and leave the second signal
      pending; normally sigreturn() would've picked it anyway, but
      here it starts with restoring the original mask and voila -
      the second signal is blocked again.  On everything else we
      get both delivered consistently.
      
      It's actually easy to fix; the only thing to watch out for
      is prevention of double syscall restart.  Fortunately, the
      idea I've nicked from arm fix by rmk works just fine...
      
      Testcase demonstrating the behaviour in question; on alpha
      we get one or both flags set (usually one), on everything
      else both are always set.
      	#include <signal.h>
      	#include <stdio.h>
      	int had1, had2;
      	void f1(int sig) { had1 = 1; }
      	void f2(int sig) { had2 = 1; }
      	main()
      	{
      		sigset_t set1, set2;
      		sigemptyset(&set1);
      		sigemptyset(&set2);
      		sigaddset(&set2, 1);
      		sigaddset(&set2, 2);
      		signal(1, f1);
      		signal(2, f2);
      		sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &set2, NULL);
      		raise(1);
      		raise(2);
      		sigsuspend(&set1);

      alpha: fix a 14 years old bug in sigreturn tracing · 53293638
      Al Viro authored
      The way sigreturn() is implemented on alpha breaks PTRACE_SYSCALL,
      all way back to 1.3.95 when alpha has grown PTRACE_SYSCALL support.
      
      What happens is direct return to ret_from_syscall, in order to bypass
      mangling of a3 (error indicator) and prevent other mutilations of
      registers (e.g. by syscall restart).  That's fine, but... the entire
      TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE codepath is kept separate on alpha and post-syscall
      stopping/notifying the tracer is after the syscall.  And the normal
      path we are forcibly switching to doesn't have it.
      
      So we end up with *one* stop in traced sigreturn() vs. two in other
      syscalls.  And yes, strace is visibly broken by that; try to strace
      the following
      	#include <signal.h>
      	#include <stdio.h>
      	void f(int sig) {}
      	main()
      	{
      		signal(SIGHUP, f);
      		raise(SIGHUP);
      		write(1, "eeeek\n", 6);
      	}
      and watch the show.  The
      	close(1)                                = 405
      in the end of strace output is coming from return value of write() (6 ==
      __NR_close on alpha) and syscall number of exit_group() (__NR_exit_group ==
      405 there).
      
      The fix is fairly simple - the only thing we end up missing is the call
      of syscall_trace() and we can tell whether we'd been called from the
      SYSCALL_TRACE path by checking ra value.  Since we are setting the
      switch_stack up (that's what sys_sigreturn() does), we have the right
      environment for calling syscall_trace() - just before we call
      undo_switch_stack() and return.  Since undo_switch_stack() will overwrite
      s0 anyway, we can use it to store the result of "has it been called from
      SYSCALL_TRACE path?" check.  The same thing applies in rt_sigreturn().

      alpha: unb0rk sigsuspend() and rt_sigsuspend() · 392fb6e3
      Al Viro authored
      Old code used to set regs->r0 and regs->r19 to force the right
      return value.  Leaving that after switch to ERESTARTNOHAND
      was a Bad Idea(tm), since now that screws the restart - if we
      hit the case when get_signal_to_deliver() returns 0, we will
      step back to syscall insn, with v0 set to EINTR and a3 to 1.
      The latter won't matter, since EINTR is 4, aka __NR_write.
      
      Testcase:
      
      	#include <signal.h>
      	#define _GNU_SOURCE
      	#include <unistd.h>
      	#include <sys/syscall.h>
      
      	main()
      	{
      		sigset_t mask;
      		sigemptyset(&mask);
      		sigaddset(&mask, SIGCONT);
      		sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &mask, NULL);
      		kill(0, SIGCONT);
      		syscall(__NR_sigsuspend, 1, "b0rken\n", 7);
      	}
      
      results on alpha in immediate message to stdout...
      
      Fix is obvious; moreover, since we don't need regs anymore, we can
      switch to normal prototypes for these guys and lose the wrappers.
      Even better, rt_sigsuspend() is identical to generic version in
      kernel/signal.c now.
