When gfs2 does metadata I/O, only REQ_META is used as a metadata hint of
the bio. But flag REQ_META is just a hint for block trace, not for block
layer code to handle a bio as metadata request.
For some of metadata I/Os of gfs2, A REQ_PRIO flag on the metadata bio
would be very informative to block layer code. For example, if bcache is
used as a I/O cache for gfs2, it will be possible for bcache code to get
the hint and cache the pre-fetched metadata blocks on cache device. This
behavior may be helpful to improve metadata I/O performance if the
following requests hit the cache.
Here are the locations in gfs2 code where a REQ_PRIO flag should be added,
- All places where REQ_READAHEAD is used, gfs2 code uses this flag for
metadata read ahead.
- In gfs2_meta_rq() where the first metadata block is read in.
- In gfs2_write_buf_to_page(), read in quota metadata blocks to have them
up to date.
These metadata blocks are probably to be accessed again in future, adding
a REQ_PRIO flag may have bcache to keep such metadata in fast cache
device. For system without a cache layer, REQ_PRIO can still provide hint
to block layer to handle metadata requests more properly.

1. Andreas Gruenbacher has four patches related to cleaning up the GFS2
inode evict process. This is about half of his patches designed to
fix a long-standing GFS2 hang related to the inode shrinker.
(Shrinker calls gfs2 evict, evict calls DLM, DLM requires memory
and blocks on the shrinker.) These 4 patches have been well tested.
His second set of patches are still being tested, so I plan to hold
them until the next merge window, after we have more weeks of testing.
The first patch eliminates the flush_delayed_work, which can block.
2. Andreas's second patch protects setting of gl_object for rgrps with
a spin_lock to prevent proven races.
3. His third patch introduces a centralized mechanism for queueing glock
work with better reference counting, to prevent more races.
4. His fourth patch retains a reference to inode glocks when an error
occurs while creating an inode. This keeps the subsequent evict from
needing to reacquire the glock, which might call into DLM and block
in low memory conditions.
5. Arvind Yadav has a patch to add const to attribute_group structures.
6. I have a patch to detect directory entry inconsistencies and withdraw
the file system if any are found. Better that than silent corruption.
7. I have a patch to remove a vestigial variable from glock structures,
saving some slab space.
8. I have another patch to remove a vestigial variable from the GFS2
in-core superblock structure.

Implement truncate/delete as a non-recursive algorithm. The older
algorithm was implemented with recursion to strip off each layer
at a time (going by height, starting with the maximum height.
This version tries to do the same thing but without recursion,
and without needing to allocate new structures or lists in memory.
For example, say you want to truncate a very large file to 1 byte,
and its end-of-file metapath is: 0.505.463.428. The starting
metapath would be 0.0.0.0. Since it's a truncate to non-zero, it
needs to preserve that byte, and all metadata pointing to it.
So it would start at 0.0.0.0, look up all its metadata buffers,
then free all data blocks pointed to at the highest level.
After that buffer is "swept", it moves on to 0.0.0.1, then
0.0.0.2, etc., reading in buffers and sweeping them clean.
When it gets to the end of the 0.0.0 metadata buffer (for 4K
blocks the last valid one is 0.0.0.508), it backs up to the
previous height and starts working on 0.0.1.0, then 0.0.1.1,
and so forth. After it reaches the end and sweeps 0.0.1.508,
it continues with 0.0.2.0, and so on. When that height is
exhausted, and it reaches 0.0.508.508 it backs up another level,
to 0.1.0.0, then 0.1.0.1, through 0.1.0.508. So it has to keep
marching backwards and forwards through the metadata until it's
all swept clean. Once it has all the data blocks freed, it
lowers the strip height, and begins the process all over again,
but with one less height. This time it sweeps 0.0.0 through
0.505.463. When that's clean, it lowers the strip height again
and works to free 0.505. Eventually it strips the lowest height, 0.
For a delete or truncate to 0, all metadata for all heights of
0.0.0.0 would be freed. For a truncate to 1 byte, 0.0.0.0 would
be preserved.
This isn't much different from normal integer incrementing,
where an integer gets incremented from 0000 (0.0.0.0) to 3021
(3.0.2.1). So 0000 gets increments to 0001, 0002, up to 0009,
then on to 0010, 0011 up to 0099, then 0100 and so forth. It's
just that each "digit" goes from 0 to 508 (for a total of 509
pointers) rather than from 0 to 9.
Note that the dinode will only have 483 pointers due to the
dinode structure itself.
Also note: this is just an example. These numbers (509 and 483)
are based on a standard 4K block size. Smaller block sizes will
yield smaller numbers of indirect pointers accordingly.
The truncation process is accomplished with the help of two
major functions and a few helper functions.
Functions do_strip and recursive_scan are obsolete, so removed.
New function sweep_bh_for_rgrps cleans a buffer_head pointed to
by the given metapath and height. By cleaning, I mean it frees
all blocks starting at the offset passed in metapath. It starts
at the first block in the buffer pointed to by the metapath and
identifies its resource group (rgrp). From there it frees all
subsequent block pointers that lie within that rgrp. If it's
already inside a transaction, it stays within it as long as it
can. In other words, it doesn't close a transaction until it knows
it's freed what it can from the resource group. In this way,
multiple buffers may be cleaned in a single transaction, as long
as those blocks in the buffer all lie within the same rgrp.
If it's not in a transaction, it starts one. If the buffer_head
has references to blocks within multiple rgrps, it frees all the
blocks inside the first rgrp it finds, then closes the
transaction. Then it repeats the cycle: identifies the next
unfreed block, uses it to find its rgrp, then starts a new
transaction for that set. It repeats this process repeatedly
until the buffer_head contains no more references to any blocks
past the given metapath.
Function trunc_dealloc has been reworked into a finite state
automaton. It has basically 3 active states:
DEALLOC_MP_FULL, DEALLOC_MP_LOWER, and DEALLOC_FILL_MP:
The DEALLOC_MP_FULL state implies the metapath has a full set
of buffers out to the "shrink height", and therefore, it can
call function sweep_bh_for_rgrps to free the blocks within the
highest height of the metapath. If it's just swept the lowest
level (or an error has occurred) the state machine is ended.
Otherwise it proceeds to the DEALLOC_MP_LOWER state.
The DEALLOC_MP_LOWER state implies we are finished with a given
buffer_head, which may now be released, and therefore we are
then missing some buffer information from the metapath. So we
need to find more buffers to read in. In most cases, this is
just a matter of releasing the buffer_head and moving to the
next pointer from the previous height, so it may be read in and
swept as well. If it can't find another non-null pointer to
process, it checks whether it's reached the end of a height
and needs to lower the strip height, or whether it still needs
move forward through the previous height's metadata. In this
state, all zero-pointers are skipped. From this state, it can
only loop around (once more backing up another height) or,
once a valid metapath is found (one that has non-zero
pointers), proceed to state DEALLOC_FILL_MP.
The DEALLOC_FILL_MP state implies that we have a metapath
but not all its buffers are read in. So we must proceed to read
in buffer_heads until the metapath has a valid buffer for every
height. If the previous state backed us up 3 heights, we may
need to read in a buffer, increment the height, then repeat the
process until buffers have been read in for all required heights.
If it's successful reading a buffer, and it's at the highest
height we need, it proceeds back to the DEALLOC_MP_FULL state.
If it's unable to fill in a buffer, (encounters a hole, etc.)
it tries to find another non-zero block pointer. If they're all
zero, it lowers the height and returns to the DEALLOC_MP_LOWER
state. If it finds a good non-null pointer, it loops around and
reads it in, while keeping the metapath in lock-step with the
pointers it examines.
The state machine runs until the truncation request is
satisfied. Then any transactions are ended, the quota and
statfs data are updated, and the function is complete.
Helper function metaptr1 was introduced to be an easy way to
determine the start of a buffer_head's indirect pointers.
Helper function lookup_mp_height was introduced to find a
metapath index and read in the buffer that corresponds to it.
In this way, function lookup_metapath becomes a simple loop to
call it for every height.
Helper function fillup_metapath is similar to lookup_metapath
except it can do partial lookups. If the state machine
backed up multiple levels (like 2999 wrapping to 3000) it
needs to find out the next starting point and start issuing
metadata reads at that point.
Helper function hptrs is a shortcut to determine how many
pointers should be expected in a buffer. Height 0 is the dinode
which has fewer pointers than the others.

This patch limits the number of transaction blocks requested during
file truncates. If we have very large multi-terabyte files, and want
to delete or truncate them, they might span so many resource groups
that we overflow the journal blocks, and cause an assert failure.
By limiting the number of blocks in the transaction, we prevent this
overflow and give other running processes time to do transactions.
The limiting factor I chose is sd_log_thresh2 which is currently
set to 4/5ths of the journal. This same ratio is used in function
gfs2_ail_flush_reqd to determine when a log flush is required.
If we make the maximum value less than this, we can get into a
infinite hang whereby the log stops moving because the number of
used blocks is less than the threshold and the iterative loop
needs more, but since we're under the threshold, the log daemon
never starts any IO on the log.

This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions
vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them

extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all
file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also,
current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be
y2038 safe.
Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used
to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they
share the same time granularity.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Before this patch, multi-block reservation structures were allocated
from a special slab. This patch folds the structure into the gfs2_inode
structure. The disadvantage is that the gfs2_inode needs more memory,
even when a file is opened read-only. The advantages are: (a) we don't
need the special slab and the extra time it takes to allocate and
deallocate from it. (b) we no longer need to worry that the structure
exists for things like quota management. (c) This also allows us to
remove the calls to get_write_access and put_write_access since we
know the structure will exist.

This patch basically reverts the majority of patch 5407e24.
That patch eliminated the gfs2_qadata structure in favor of just
using the reservations structure. The problem with doing that is that
it increases the size of the reservations structure. That is not an
issue until it comes time to fold the reservations structure into the
inode in memory so we know it's always there. By separating out the
quota structure again, we aren't punishing the non-quota users by
making all the inodes bigger, requiring more slab space. This patch
creates a new slab area to allocate the quota stuff so it's managed
a little more sanely.

Use struct gfs2_alloc_parms as an argument to gfs2_quota_check()
and gfs2_quota_lock_check() to check for quota violations while
accounting for the new blocks requested by the current operation
in ap->target.
Previously, the number of new blocks requested during an operation
were not accounted for during quota_check and would allow these
operations to exceed quota. This was not very apparent since most
operations allocated only 1 block at a time and quotas would get
violated in the next operation. i.e. quota excess would only be by
1 block or so. With fallocate, (where we allocate a bunch of blocks
at once) the quota excess is non-trivial and is addressed by this
patch.

This patch fixes a long standing issue in mapping the journal
extents. Most journals will consist of only a single extent,
and although the cache took account of that by merging extents,
it did not actually map large extents, but instead was doing a
block by block mapping. Since the journal was only being mapped
on mount, this was not normally noticeable.
With the updated code, it is now possible to use the same extent
mapping system during journal recovery (which will be added in a
later patch). This will allow checking of the integrity of the
journal before any reply of the journal content is attempted. For
this reason the code is moving to bmap.c, since it will be used
more widely in due course.
An exercise left for the reader is to compare the new function
gfs2_map_journal_extents() with gfs2_write_alloc_required()
Additionally, should there be a failure, the error reporting is
also updated to show more detail about what went wrong.

The reservation for an inode should be cleared when it is truncated so
that we can start again at a different offset for future allocations.
We could try and do better than that, by resetting the search based on
where the truncation started from, but this is only a first step.
In addition, there are three callers of gfs2_rs_delete() but only one
of those should really be testing the value of i_writecount. While
we get away with that in the other cases currently, I think it would
be better if we made that test specific to the one case which

If a GFS2 file system is mounted with quotas and a file is grown
in such a way that its free blocks for the allocation are represented
in a secondary bitmap, GFS2 ran out of blocks in the transaction.
That resulted in "fatal: assertion "tr->tr_num_buf <= tr->tr_blocks".
This patch reserves extra blocks for the quota change so the
transaction has enough space.

Pull user namespace and namespace infrastructure changes from Eric W Biederman:
"This set of changes starts with a few small enhnacements to the user
namespace. reboot support, allowing more arbitrary mappings, and
support for mounting devpts, ramfs, tmpfs, and mqueuefs as just the
user namespace root.
I do my best to document that if you care about limiting your
unprivileged users that when you have the user namespace support
enabled you will need to enable memory control groups.
There is a minor bug fix to prevent overflowing the stack if someone
creates way too many user namespaces.
The bulk of the changes are a continuation of the kuid/kgid push down
work through the filesystems. These changes make using uids and gids
typesafe which ensures that these filesystems are safe to use when
multiple user namespaces are in use. The filesystems converted for
3.9 are ceph, 9p, afs, ocfs2, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, and cifs. The
changes for these filesystems were a little more involved so I split
the changes into smaller hopefully obviously correct changes.
XFS is the only filesystem that remains. I was hoping I could get
that in this release so that user namespace support would be enabled
with an allyesconfig or an allmodconfig but it looks like the xfs
changes need another couple of days before it they are ready."

Instead of using a list of buffers to write ahead of the journal
flush, this now uses a list of inodes and calls ->writepages
via filemap_fdatawrite() in order to achieve the same thing. For
most use cases this results in a shorter ordered write list,
as well as much larger i/os being issued.
The ordered write list is sorted by inode number before writing
in order to retain the disk block ordering between inodes as
per the previous code.
The previous ordered write code used to conflict in its assumptions
about how to write out the disk blocks with mpage_writepages()
so that with this updated version we can also use mpage_writepages()
for GFS2's ordered write, writepages implementation. So we will
also send larger i/os from writeback too.

There is little common content in gfs2_trans_add_bh() between the data
and meta classes by the time that the functions which it calls are
taken into account. The intent here is to split this into two
separate functions. Stage one is to introduce gfs2_trans_add_data()
and gfs2_trans_add_meta() and update the callers accordingly.
Later patches will then pull in the content of gfs2_trans_add_bh()
and its dependent functions in order to clean up the code in this
area.

This patch fixes an issue relating to not having enough revokes

Just like ext3, this works on the root directory and any directory
with the +T flag set. Also, just like ext3, any subdirectory created
in one of the just mentioned cases will be allocated to a random
resource group (GFS2 equivalent of a block group).
If you are creating a set of directories, each of which will contain a
job running on a different node, then by setting +T on the parent
directory before creating the subdirectories, each will land up in a
different resource group, and thus resource group contention between
nodes will be kept to a minimum.

This patch introduces a new structure, gfs2_rbm, which is a
tuple of a resource group, a bitmap within the resource group
and an offset within that bitmap. This is designed to make
manipulating these sets of variables easier. There is also a
new helper function which converts this representation back
to a disk block address.
In addition, the rbtree nodes which are used for the reservations
were not being correctly initialised, which is now fixed. Also,
the tracing was not passing through the inode where it should
have been. That is mostly fixed aside from one corner case. This
needs to be revisited since there can also be a NULL rgrp in
some cases which results in the device being incorrect in the
trace.
This is intended to be the first step towards cleaning up some
of the allocation code, and some further bug fixes.

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).

This patch is a revision of the one I previously posted.
I tried to integrate all the suggestions Steve gave.
The purpose of the patch is to change function gfs2_alloc_block
(allocate either a dinode block or an extent of data blocks)
to a more generic gfs2_alloc_blocks function that can
allocate both a dinode _and_ an extent of data blocks in the
same call. This will ultimately help us create a multi-block
reservation scheme to reduce file fragmentation.
This patch moves more toward a generic multi-block allocator that
takes a pointer to the number of data blocks to allocate, plus whether
or not to allocate a dinode. In theory, it could be called to allocate
(1) a single dinode block, (2) a group of one or more data blocks, or
(3) a dinode plus several data blocks.

GFS2 functions gfs2_alloc_block and gfs2_alloc_di do basically
the same things, with a few exceptions. This patch combines
the two functions into a slightly more generic gfs2_alloc_block.
Having one centralized block allocation function will reduce
code redundancy and make it easier to implement multi-block
reservations to reduce file fragmentation in the future.

GFS2's fallocate code currently goes through the page cache. Since it's only
writing to the end of the file or to holes in it, it doesn't need to, and it
was causing issues on low memory environments. This patch pulls in some of
Steve's block allocation work, and uses it to simply allocate the blocks for
the file, and zero them out at allocation time. It provides a slight
performance increase, and it dramatically simplifies the code.

Each block which is deallocated, requires a call to gfs2_rlist_add()
and each of those calls was calling gfs2_blk2rgrpd() in order to
figure out which rgrp the block belonged in. This can be speeded up
by making use of the rgrp cached in the inode. We also reset this
cached rgrp in case the block has changed rgrp. This should provide
a big reduction in gfs2_blk2rgrpd() calls during deallocation.

The recursive_scan() function only ever takes a single "bc"
argument, so we might as well just call do_strip() directly
from resource_scan() rather than pass it in as an argument.
Also the "data" argument is always a struct strip_mine, so
we can pass that in, rather than using a void pointer.
This also moves do_strip() ahead of recursive_scan() so that
we don't need to add a prototype.

Since we have ruled out supporting online filesystem shrink,
it is possible to make the resource group list append only
during the life of a super block. This gives several benefits:
Firstly, we only need to read new rindex elements as they are added
rather than needing to reread the whole rindex file each time one
element is added.
Secondly, the rindex glock can be held for much shorter periods of
time, and is completely removed from the fast path for allocations.
The lock is taken in shared mode only when updating the resource
groups when the first allocation occurs, and after a grow has
taken place.
Thirdly, this results in a reduction in code size, and everything
gets a lot simpler to understand in this area.
