2014-10-01GFS2: Make rename not save dirent locationBob Peterson1-0/+1
This patch fixes a regression in the patch "GFS2: Remember directory insert point", commit 2b47dad866d04f14c328f888ba5406057b8c7d33. The problem had to do with the rename function: The function found space for the new dirent, and remembered that location. But then the old dirent was removed, which often moved the eligible location for the renamed dirent. Putting the new dirent at the saved location caused file system corruption. This patch adds a new "save_loc" variable to struct gfs2_diradd. If 1, the dirent location is saved. If 0, the dirent location is not saved and the buffer_head is released as per previous behavior.

2014-01-06GFS2: Remember directory insert pointSteven Whitehouse1-1/+11
When we look to see if there is enough space to add a dir entry without allocation, we have then been repeating the same search later when we do the actual insertion. This patch caches the details of the location in the gfs2_diradd structure, so that we do not have to repeat the search. This will provide a performance improvement which will be greater as the size of the directory increases. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2014-01-06GFS2: Add directory addition info structureSteven Whitehouse1-1/+6
The intent is that this structure will hold the information required when adding entries to a directory (linking). To start with, it will contain only the number of blocks which are required to link the new entry into the directory. The current calculation returns either 0 or the maximim number of blocks that can ever be requested by such a transaction. The intent is that in a later patch, we can update the dir code to calculate this value more accurately. In addition further patches will also add further fields to the new structure to increase its utility. In addition this patch fixes a bug where the link used during inode creation was adding requesting too many blocks in some cases. This is harmless unless the fs is close to being full.

2013-06-11GFS2: Only do one directory search on createSteven Whitehouse1-1/+2
Creation of a new inode requires a directory search in order to ensure that we are not trying to create an inode with the same name as an existing one. This was hidden away inside the create_ok() function. In the case that there was an existing inode, and a lookup can be substituted for a create (which is the case with regular files when the O_EXCL flag is not in use) then we were doing a second lookup in order to return the inode. This patch merges these two lookups into one. This can be done by passing a flag to gfs2_dir_search() to tell it to just return -EEXIST in the cases where we don't actually want to look up the inode.

2011-11-08GFS2: Add readahead to sequential directory traversalBob Peterson1-1/+1
This patch adds read-ahead capability to GFS2's directory hash table management. It greatly improves performance for some directory operations. For example: In one of my file systems that has 1000 directories, each of which has 1000 files, time to execute a recursive ls (time ls -fR /mnt/gfs2 > /dev/null) was reduced from 2m2.814s on a stock kernel to 0m45.938s.

2011-07-15GFS2: Cache dir hash table in a contiguous bufferSteven Whitehouse1-0/+1
This patch adds a cache for the hash table to the directory code in order to help simplify the way in which the hash table is accessed. This is intended to be a first step towards introducing some performance improvements in the directory code. There are two follow ups that I'm hoping to see fairly shortly. One is to simplify the hash table reading code now that we always read the complete hash table, whether we want one entry or all of them. The other is to introduce readahead on the heads of the hash chains which are referred to from the table. The hash table is a maximum of 128k in size, so it is not worth trying to read it in small chunks. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2011-05-09GFS2: When adding a new dir entry, inc link count if it is a subdirSteven Whitehouse1-1/+1
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.

2011-05-09GFS2: Make gfs2_dir_del update link count when requiredSteven Whitehouse1-1/+1
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.

2010-09-20GFS2: Make . and .. qstrs constantSteven Whitehouse1-15/+19

2009-01-05GFS2: Fix bug in gfs2_lock_fs_check_clean()Steven Whitehouse1-0/+1
gfs2_lock_fs_check_clean() should not be calling gfs2_jindex_hold() since it doesn't work like rindex hold, despite the comment. That allows gfs2_jindex_hold() to be moved into ops_fstype.c where it can be made static. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-07-09[GFS2] Clean up inode number handlingSteven Whitehouse1-4/+5
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. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-02-05[GFS2] Clean up/speed up readdirSteven Whitehouse1-19/+2
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.

2006-09-01[GFS2] Update copyright, tidy up incore.hSteven Whitehouse1-1/+1
As per comments from Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> this updates the copyright message to say "version" in full rather than "v.2". Also incore.h has been updated to remove forward structure declarations which are not required. The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added to it. Also quota.c has been updated so that we now store the lvb data locally in endian independant format to avoid needing a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess conversions are done as required at various points and thus the conversion routines in lvb.[ch] are no longer required. I've moved the one remaining constant in lvb.h thats used into lm.h and removed the unused lvb.[ch]. I have not changed the HIF_ constants. That is left to a later patch which I hope will unify the gh_flags and gh_iflags fields of the struct gfs2_holder.

2006-03-28[GFS2] Further updates to dir and logging codeSteven Whitehouse1-1/+14
This reduces the size of the directory code by about 3k and gets readdir() to use the functions which were introduced in the previous directory code update. Two memory allocations are merged into one. Eliminates zeroing of some buffers which were never used before they were initialised by other data. There is still scope for further improvement in the directory code. On the logging side, a hand created mutex has been replaced by a standard Linux mutex in the log allocation code.

2006-03-20[GFS2] Fix bug in directory code and tidy upSteven Whitehouse1-15/+24
Due to a typo, the dir leaf split operation was (for the first split in a directory) writing the new hash vaules at the wrong offset. This is now fixed. Also some other tidy ups are included: - We use GFS2's hash function for dentries (see ops_dentry.c) so that we don't have to keep recalculating the hash values. - A lot of common code is eliminated between the various directory lookup routines. - Better error checking on directory lookup (previously different routines checked for different errors) - The leaf split operation has a couple of redundant operations removed from it, so it should be faster. There is still further scope for further clean ups in the directory code, and readdir in particular could do with slimming down a bit. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-02-08[GFS2] Make journaled data files identical to normal files on diskSteven Whitehouse1-0/+2
This is a very large patch, with a few still to be resolved issues so you might want to check out the previous head of the tree since this is known to be unstable. Fixes for the various bugs will be forthcoming shortly. This patch removes the special data format which has been used up till now for journaled data files. Directories still retain the old format so that they will remain on disk compatible with earlier releases. As a result you can now do the following with journaled data files: 1) mmap them 2) export them over NFS 3) convert to/from normal files whenever you want to (the zero length restriction is gone) In addition the level at which GFS' locking is done has changed for all files (since they all now use the page cache) such that the locking is done at the page cache level rather than the level of the fs operations. This should mean that things like loopback mounts and other things which touch the page cache directly should now work. Current known issues: 1. There is a lock mode inversion problem related to the resource group hold function which needs to be resolved. 2. Any significant amount of I/O causes an oops with an offset of hex 320 (NULL pointer dereference) which appears to be related to a journaled data buffer appearing on a list where it shouldn't be. 3. Direct I/O writes are disabled for the time being (will reappear later) 4. There is probably a deadlock between the page lock and GFS' locks under certain combinations of mmap and fs operation I/O. 5. Issue relating to ref counting on internally used inodes causes a hang on umount (discovered before this patch, and not fixed by it) 6. One part of the directory metadata is different from GFS1 and will need to be resolved before next release. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
