GFS2: Move all locking inside the inode creation function
Now that there are no longer any exceptions to the normal inode
creation code path, we can move the parts of the locking code
which were duplicated in mkdir/mknod/create/symlink into the
inode create function.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
This moves the symlink specific parts of inode creation
into the function where we initialise the rest of the
dinode. As a result we have one less place where we need
to look up the inode's buffer.

This is the final part of the ops_inode.c/inode.c reordering. We
are left with a single file called inode.c which now contains
all the inode operations, as expected.

GFS2: Move most of the remaining inode.c into ops_inode.c
This is in preparation to remove inode.c and rename ops_inode.c
to inode.c. Also most of the functions which were left in inode.c
relate to the creation and lookup of inodes. I'm intending to work
on consolidating some of that code, and its easier when its all in
one place.

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.

GFS2: When adding a new dir entry, inc link count if it is a subdir
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.

GFS2: Make gfs2_dir_del update link count when required
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.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
There are three users of gfs2_change_nlink which add to the link
count. Two of these are about to be removed in later patches, so
this means that there will no callers, when that happens allowing
removal of that function, also in a later patch.

GFS2: Don't use a try lock when promoting to a higher mode
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.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
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.

GFS2: make sure fallocate bytes is a multiple of blksize
The GFS2 fallocate code chooses a target size to for allocating chunks of
space. Whenever it can't find any resource groups with enough space free, it
halves its target. Since this target is in bytes, eventually it will no longer
be a multiple of blksize. As long as there is more space available in the
resource group than the target, this isn't a problem, since gfs2 will use the
actual space available, which is always a multiple of blksize. However,
when gfs couldn't fallocate a bigger chunk than the target, it was using the
non-blksize aligned number. This caused a BUG in later code that required
blksize aligned offsets. GFS2 now ensures that bytes is always a multiple of
blksize

GFS2: Make writeback more responsive to system conditions
This patch adds writeback_control to writing back the AIL
list. This means that we can then take advantage of the
information we get in ->write_inode() in order to set off
some pre-emptive writeback.
In addition, the AIL code is cleaned up a bit to make it
a bit simpler to understand.
There is still more which can usefully be done in this area,
but this is a good start at least.

The GLF_LRU flag introduced in the previous patch can be
used to check if a glock is on the lru list when a new
holder is queued and if so remove it, without having first
to get the lru_lock.
The main purpose of this patch however is to optimise the
glocks left over when an inode at end of life is being
evicted. Previously such glocks were left with the GLF_LFLUSH
flag set, so that when reclaimed, each one required a log flush.
This patch resets the GLF_LFLUSH flag when there is nothing
left to flush thus preventing later log flushes as glocks are
reused or demoted.
In order to do this, we need to keep track of the number of
revokes which are outstanding, and also to clear the GLF_LFLUSH
bit after a log commit when only revokes have been processed.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
This adds support for two new flags. One keeps track of whether
the glock is on the LRU list or not. The other isn't really a
flag as such, but an indication of whether the glock has an
attached object or not. This indication is reported without
any locking, which is ok since we do not dereference the object
pointer but merely report whether it is NULL or not.
Also, this fixes one place where a tracepoint was missing, which
was at the point we remove deallocated blocks from the journal.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
This patch is designed to clean up GFS2's fsync
implementation and ensure that it really does get everything on
disk. Since ->write_inode() has been updated, we can call that
via the vfs library function sync_inode_metadata() and the only
remaining thing that has to be done is to ensure that we get
any revoke records in the log after the inode has been written back.

GFS2: Alter point of entry to glock lru list for glocks with an address_space
Rather than allowing the glocks to be scheduled for possible
reclaim as soon as they have exited the journal, this patch
delays their entry to the list until the glocks in question
are no longer in use.
This means that we will rely on the vm for writeback of all
dirty data and metadata from now on. When glocks are added
to the lru list they should be freeable much faster since all
the I/O required to free them should have already been completed.
This should lead to much better I/O patterns under low memory
conditions.

GFS2: Use filemap_fdatawrite() to write back the AIL
In order to ensure that the mapping stats (and thus the bdi) are correctly
updated, this patch changes the AIL writeback to use the filemap_datawrite

large amounts of dirty metadata when there is little or no dirty data
around.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
The GFS2 ->write_inode function should be more aggressive at writing
back to the filesystem. This adopts the XFS system of returning

but we only wait for it and flush the log when WB_SYNC_ALL is
requested.

Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range

helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without
checking the range of its arguments.
So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1"

One holds the inode glock and calls gfs2_lookup_by_inum trying to look

I_FREEING from vfs and is at the beginning of gfs2_delete_inode

I did an audit of gfs2's transaction glock for bugzilla bug
658619 and ran across this:
In function gfs2_write_end, in the unlikely event that
gfs2_meta_inode_buffer returns an error, the code may forget
to unlock the transaction lock because the "failed" label
appears after the call to function gfs2_trans_end.

Instead of overloading __blk_run_queue to force an offload to kblockd
add a new blk_run_queue_async helper to do it explicitly. I've kept
the blk_queue_stopped check for now, but I suspect it's not needed
as the check we do when the workqueue items runs should be enough.

posix clocks: Replace mutex with reader/writer semaphore
A dynamic posix clock is protected from asynchronous removal by a mutex.
However, using a mutex has the unwanted effect that a long running clock
operation in one process will unnecessarily block other processes.
For example, one process might call read() to get an external time stamp
coming in at one pulse per second. A second process calling clock_gettime
would have to wait for almost a whole second.
This patch fixes the issue by using a reader/writer semaphore instead of
a mutex.
In raid5 plugging is used for 2 things:
1/ collecting writes that require a bitmap update
2/ collecting writes in the hope that we can create full
stripes - or at least more-full.
We now release these different sets of stripes when plug_cnt
is zero.
Also in make_request, we call mddev_check_plug to hopefully increase
plug_cnt, and wake up the thread at the end if plugging wasn't
achieved for some reason.
md: provide generic support for handling unplug callbacks.
When an md device adds a request to a queue, it can call
mddev_check_plugged.
If this succeeds then we know that the md thread will be woken up
shortly, and ->plug_cnt will be non-zero until then, so some
processing can be delayed.
If it fails, then no unplug callback is expected and the make_request
function needs to do whatever is required to make the request happen.
md has some plugging infrastructure for RAID5 to use because the
normal plugging infrastructure required a 'request_queue', and when
called from dm, RAID5 doesn't have one of those available.
This relied on the ->unplug_fn callback which doesn't exist any more.
So remove all of that code, both in md and raid5. Subsequent patches
with restore the plugging functionality.
block: drop queue lock before calling __blk_run_queue() for kblockd punt
If we know we are going to punt to kblockd, we can drop the queue
lock before calling into __blk_run_queue() since it only does a
safe bit test and a workqueue call. Since kblockd needs to grab
this very lock as one of the first things it does, it's a good
optimization to drop the lock before waking kblockd.
Revert "block: add callback function for unplug notification"
MD can't use this since it really requires us to be able to
keep more than a single piece of state for the unplug. Commit 048c9374 added the required support for MD, so get rid of this
now unused code.
ip6_pol_route panic: Do not allow VLAN on loopback
Several tests in the ipv6 routing code check IFF_LOOPBACK, and
allowing stacking such as VLAN'ing on top of loopback results in a
netdevice which reports IFF_LOOPBACK but really isn't the loopback
device.
Instead of spamming the ipv6 routing code with even more special tests,
simply disallow VLAN over loopback.
The result of this patch is:
# modprobe 8021q
# vconfig add lo 43
ERROR: trying to add VLAN #43 to IF -:lo:- error: Operation not supported

powerpc/perf_event: Skip updating kernel counters if register value shrinks
Because of speculative event roll back, it is possible for some event coutners
to decrease between reads on POWER7. This causes a problem with the way that
counters are updated. Delta calues are calculated in a 64 bit value and the
top 32 bits are masked. If the register value has decreased, this leaves us
with a very large positive value added to the kernel counters. This patch
protects against this by skipping the update if the delta would be negative.
This can lead to a lack of precision in the coutner values, but from my testing
the value is typcially fewer than 10 samples at a time.

PAPR specifies that DTL buffers can not cross AMS environments (aka CMO
in the PAPR) and can not cross a memory entitlement granule boundary
(4k). This is found in section 14.11.3.2 H_REGISTER_VPA of the PAPR.
kmalloc does not guarantee an alignment of the allocation, though,
beyond 8 bytes (at least in my understanding). Create a special kmem
cache for DTL buffers with the alignment requirement.

powerpc/kexec: Fix regression causing compile failure on UP
Recent commit b987812b3fcaf70fdf0037589e5d2f5f2453e6ce caused
a compile failure on UP because a considerably large block
of the file was included within CONFIG_SMP, hence making a stub
function not exposed on UP builds when it needed to be.
Relocate the stub to the #else /* ! CONFIG_SMP */ section
and also annotate the relevant else/endif so that nobody
