Mark Fasheh 01945fa248 ocfs2: update web page + git tree in documentation
We (the Ocfs2 project) recently moved the location of our ocfs2-tools
git tree and project web page.  The pertinent discussion can be seen
here:

  https://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-devel/2015-February/010579.html

The following patch updates the Ocfs2 documentation in MAINTAINERS,
ocfs2.txt, and dlmfs.txt.  I added our new official web page, changed
the location of our tools git tree and removed the link to Joel's
ancient kernel git tree - Andrew has handled our patches for a while
now.

alex chen 1dfeb76847 ocfs2: add a mount option journal_async_commit on ocfs2 filesystem
Add a mount option to support JBD2 feature:

JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_ASYNC_COMMIT.  When this feature is opened, journal
commit block can be written to disk without waiting for descriptor blocks,
which can improve journal commit performance.  This option will enable
'journal_checksum' internally.

Using the fs_mark benchmark, using journal_async_commit shows a 50%
improvement, the files per second go up from 215.2 to 317.5.

test script:
fs_mark  -d  /mnt/ocfs2/  -s  10240  -n  1000

default:
FSUse%        Count         Size    Files/sec     App Overhead
     0         1000        10240        215.2            17878

with journal_async_commit option:
FSUse%        Count         Size    Files/sec     App Overhead
     0         1000        10240        317.5            17881

Tristan Ye 7bdb0d18bf ocfs2: Add a mount option "coherency=*" to handle cluster coherency for O_DIRECT writes.
Currently, the default behavior of O_DIRECT writes was allowing
concurrent writing among nodes to the same file, with no cluster
coherency guaranteed (no EX lock held).  This can leave stale data in
the cache for buffered reads on other nodes.

The new mount option introduce a chance to choose two different
behaviors for O_DIRECT writes:

    * coherency=full, as the default value, will disallow
                      concurrent O_DIRECT writes by taking
                      EX locks.

    * coherency=buffered, allow concurrent O_DIRECT writes
                          without EX lock among nodes, which
                          gains high performance at risk of
                          getting stale data on other nodes.

Mark Fasheh b07f8f24df ocfs2: change default reservation window sizes
The default reservation size of 4 (32-bit windows) is a bit too ambitious.
Scale it back to 16 bits (resv_level=2). I have been testing various sizes
on a 4-node cluster which runs a mixed workload that is heavily threaded.
With a 256MB local alloc, I get *roughly* the following levels of average file
fragmentation:

resv_level=0	70%
resv_level=1	21%
resv_level=2	23%
resv_level=3	24%
resv_level=4	60%
resv_level=5	did not test
resv_level=6	60%

resv_level=2 seemed like a good compromise between not letting windows be
too small, but not so big that heavier workloads will immediately suffer
without tuning.

This patch also change the behavior of directory reservations - they now
track file reservations.  The previous compromise of giving directory
windows only 8 bits wound up fragmenting more at some window sizes because
file allocations had smaller unused windows to poach from.

Mark Fasheh d02f00cc05 ocfs2: allocation reservations
This patch improves Ocfs2 allocation policy by allowing an inode to
reserve a portion of the local alloc bitmap for itself. The reserved
portion (allocation window) is advisory in that other allocation
windows might steal it if the local alloc bitmap becomes
full. Otherwise, the reservations are honored and guaranteed to be
free. When the local alloc window is moved to a different portion of
the bitmap, existing reservations are discarded.

Reservation windows are represented internally by a red-black
tree. Within that tree, each node represents the reservation window of
one inode. An LRU of active reservations is also maintained. When new
data is written, we allocate it from the inodes window. When all bits
in a window are exhausted, we allocate a new one as close to the
previous one as possible. Should we not find free space, an existing
reservation is pulled off the LRU and cannibalized.

larger inode numbers.

Sunil Mushran 2fbe8d1ebe ocfs2: Local alloc window size changeable via mount option
Local alloc is a performance optimization in ocfs2 in which a node
takes a window of bits from the global bitmap and then uses that for
all small local allocations. This window size is fixed to 8MB currently.
This patch allows users to specify the window size in MB including
disabling it by passing in 0. If the number specified is too large,
the fs will use the default value of 8MB.

Mark Fasheh d147b3d630 ocfs2: Support commit= mount option
Mostly taken from ext3. This allows the user to set the jbd commit interval,
in seconds. The default of 5 seconds stays the same, but now users can
easily increase the commit interval. Typically, this would be increased in
order to benefit performance at the expense of data-safety.
