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.

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.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
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.

There are three users of gfs2_change_nlink which add to the link

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
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.

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
function. This helps prevent stalls in balance_dirty_pages() due to
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
-EAGAIN when the writeback has not been completely done. Also, we
now kick off in-place writeback when called with WB_SYNC_NONE,
but we only wait for it and flush the log when WB_SYNC_ALL is
requested.

At the end of function gfs2_dir_exhash_dealloc, it was setting the dinode
type to "file" to prevent directory corruption in case of a crash.
It was doing so in its own journal transaction. This patch makes the
change occur when the last call is make to leaf_dealloc, since it needs
to rewrite the directory dinode at that time anyway.

Since foreach_leaf is only called with leaf_dealloc as its only possible
call function, we can simplify the code by making it call leaf_dealloc
directly. This simplifies the code and eliminates the need for
leaf_call_t, the generic call method. This is a first small step in
simplifying the directory leaf deallocation code.

This patch fixes a deadlock in GFS2 where two processes are trying
to reclaim an unlinked dinode:
One holds the inode glock and calls gfs2_lookup_by_inum trying to look
up the inode, which it can't, due to I_FREEING. The other has set
I_FREEING from vfs and is at the beginning of gfs2_delete_inode
waiting for the glock, which is held by the first. The solution is to
add a new non_block parameter to the gfs2_iget function that causes it
to return -ENOENT if the inode is being freed.

GFS2 was relying on the writepage code to write out the zeroed data for
fallocate. However, with FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE set, this may be past i_size.

write_dirty_buffer directly on the buffer_heads when FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE
is set, and it's writing past i_size.

The log lock is currently used to protect the AIL lists and
the movements of buffers into and out of them. The lists
are self contained and no log specific items outside the
lists are accessed when starting or emptying the AIL lists.
Hence the operation of the AIL does not require the protection
of the log lock so split them out into a new AIL specific lock
to reduce the amount of traffic on the log lock. This will
also reduce the amount of serialisation that occurs when
the gfs2_logd pushes on the AIL to move it forward.
This reduces the impact of log pushing on sequential write
throughput.
