2010-03-01GFS2: Metadata address space clean upSteven Whitehouse1-0/+1
Since the start of GFS2, an "extra" inode has been used to store the metadata belonging to each inode. The only reason for using this inode was to have an extra address space, the other fields were unused. This means that the memory usage was rather inefficient. The reason for keeping each inode's metadata in a separate address space is that when glocks are requested on remote nodes, we need to be able to efficiently locate the data and metadata which relating to that glock (inode) in order to sync or sync and invalidate it (depending on the remotely requested lock mode). This patch adds a new type of glock, which has in addition to its normal fields, has an address space. This applies to all inode and rgrp glocks (but to no other glock types which remain as before). As a result, we no longer need to have the second inode. This results in three major improvements: 1. A saving of approx 25% of memory used in caching inodes 2. A removal of the circular dependency between inodes and glocks 3. No confusion between "normal" and "metadata" inodes in super.c Although the first of these is the more immediately apparent, the second is just as important as it now enables a number of clean ups at umount time. Those will be the subject of future patches. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-01-05GFS2: Clean up & move gfs2_quotadSteven Whitehouse1-0/+1
This patch is a clean up of gfs2_quotad prior to giving it an extra job to do in addition to the current portfolio of updating the quota and statfs information from time to time. As a result it has been moved into quota.c allowing one of the functions it calls to be made static. Also the clean up allows the two existing functions to have separate timeouts and also to coexist with its future role of dealing with the "truncate in progress" inode flag. The (pointless) setting of gfs2_quotad_secs is removed since we arrange to only wake up quotad when one of the two timers expires. In addition the struct gfs2_quota_data is moved into a slab cache, mainly for easier debugging. It should also be possible to use a shrinker in the future, rather than the current scheme of scanning the quota data entries from time to time. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2008-03-31[GFS2] Remove lm.[ch] and distribute contentSteven Whitehouse1-0/+1
The functions in lm.c were just wrappers which were mostly only used in one other file. By moving the functions to the files where they are being used, they can be marked static and also this will usually result in them being inlined since they are often only used from one point in the code. A couple of really trivial functions have been inlined by hand into the function which called them as it makes the code clearer to do that. We also gain from one fewer function call in the glock lock and unlock paths. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-03-31[GFS2] Allocate gfs2_rgrpd from slab memoryBob Peterson1-0/+1
This patch moves the gfs2_rgrpd structure to its own slab memory. This makes it easier to control and monitor, and yields less memory fragmentation. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

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 Whitehouse1-2/+0
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.
