2010-04-22ocfs2: Some tiny bug fixes for discontiguous block allocation.Tao Ma1-14/+24
The fixes include: 1. some endian problems. 2. we should use bit/bpc in ocfs2_block_group_grow_discontig to allocate clusters. 3. set num_clusters properly in __ocfs2_claim_clusters. 4. change name from ocfs2_supports_discontig_bh to ocfs2_supports_discontig_bg.

2010-03-26ocfs2: Grow discontig block groups in one transaction.Joel Becker1-26/+22
Rather than extending the transaction every time we add an extent to a discontiguous block group, we grab enough credits to fill the extent list up front. This means we can free the bits in the same transaction if we end up not getting enough space. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

2010-03-26ocfs2: Trim suballocations if they cross discontiguous regionsJoel Becker1-0/+48
A discontiguous block group can find a range of free bits that straddle more than one region of its space. Callers can't handle that, so we trim the returned bits until they fit within one region. Only cluster allocations ask for min_bits>1. Discontiguous block groups are only for block allocations. So min_bits doesn't matter here. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

2010-05-06ocfs2: use allocation reservations for directory dataMark Fasheh1-0/+1
Use the reservations system for unindexed dir tree allocations. We don't bother with the indexed tree as reads from it are mostly random anyway. Directory reservations are marked seperately, to allow the reservations code a chance to optimize their window sizes. This patch allocates only 8 bits for directory windows as they generally are not expected to grow as quickly as file data. Future improvements to dir window sizing can trivially be made.

2010-05-06ocfs2: Make ocfs2_journal_dirty() void.Joel Becker1-54/+10
jbd[2]_journal_dirty_metadata() only returns 0. It's been returning 0 since before the kernel moved to git. There is no point in checking this error. ocfs2_journal_dirty() has been faithfully returning the status since the beginning. All over ocfs2, we have blocks of code checking this can't fail status. In the past few years, we've tried to avoid adding these checks, because they are pointless. But anyone who looks at our code assumes they are needed. Finally, ocfs2_journal_dirty() is made a void function. All error checking is removed from other files. We'll BUG_ON() the status of jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() just in case they change it someday. They won't. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>
2010-03-24ocfs2: Clear undo bits when local alloc is freedMark Fasheh1-42/+74
When the local alloc file changes windows, unused bits are freed back to the global bitmap. By defnition, those bits can not be in use by any file. Also, the local alloc will never have been able to allocate those bits if they were part of a previous truncate. Therefore it makes sense that we should clear unused local alloc bits in the undo buffer so that they can be used immediatly.

In ocfs2_validate_gd_parent, we check bg_chain against the cl_next_free_rec of the dinode. Actually in resize, we have the chance of bg_chain == cl_next_free_rec. So add some additional condition check for it. I also rename paramter "clean_error" to "resize", since the old one is not clearly enough to indicate that we should only meet with this case in resize. btw, the correpsonding bug is http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1230.

2009-09-05ocfs2: Pass struct ocfs2_caching_info to the journal functions.Joel Becker1-14/+15
The next step in divorcing metadata I/O management from struct inode is to pass struct ocfs2_caching_info to the journal functions. Thus the journal locks a metadata cache with the cache io_lock function. It also can compare ci_last_trans and ci_created_trans directly.

2009-04-03ocfs2: fix rare stale inode errors when exporting via nfswengang wang1-0/+159
For nfs exporting, ocfs2_get_dentry() returns the dentry for fh. ocfs2_get_dentry() may read from disk when the inode is not in memory, without any cross cluster lock. this leads to the file system loading a stale inode. This patch fixes above problem. Solution is that in case of inode is not in memory, we get the cluster lock(PR) of alloc inode where the inode in question is allocated from (this causes node on which deletion is done sync the alloc inode) before reading out the inode itsself. then we check the bitmap in the group (the inode in question allcated from) to see if the bit is clear. if it's clear then it's stale. if the bit is set, we then check generation as the existing code does. We have to read out the inode in question from disk first to know its alloc slot and allot bit. And if its not stale we read it out using ocfs2_iget(). The second read should then be from cache. And also we have to add a per superblock nfs_sync_lock to cover the lock for alloc inode and that for inode in question. this is because ocfs2_get_dentry() and ocfs2_delete_inode() lock on them in reverse order. nfs_sync_lock is locked in EX mode in ocfs2_get_dentry() and in PR mode in ocfs2_delete_inode(). so that mutliple ocfs2_delete_inode() can run concurrently in normal case.

In ocfs2, the block group search looks for the "emptiest" group to allocate from.

2009-04-03ocfs2: Optimize inode allocation by remembering last groupTao Ma1-0/+36
In ocfs2, the inode block search looks for the "emptiest" inode group to allocate from. So if an inode alloc file has many equally (or almost equally) empty groups, new inodes will tend to get spread out amongst them, which in turn can put them all over the disk. This is undesirable because directory operations on conceptually "nearby" inodes force a large number of seeks. So we add ip_last_used_group in core directory inodes which records the last used allocation group. Another field named ip_last_used_slot is also added in case inode stealing happens. When claiming new inode, we passed in directory's inode so that the allocation can use this information.

2009-01-05ocfs2: Use metadata-specific ocfs2_journal_access_*() functions.Joel Becker1-27/+31
The per-metadata-type ocfs2_journal_access_*() functions hook up jbd2 commit triggers and allow us to compute metadata ecc right before the buffers are written out. This commit provides ecc for inodes, extent blocks, group descriptors, and quota blocks. It is not safe to use extened attributes and metaecc at the same time yet. The ocfs2_extent_tree and ocfs2_path abstractions in alloc.c both hide the type of block at their root. Before, it didn't matter, but now the root block must use the appropriate ocfs2_journal_access_*() function. To keep this abstract, the structures now have a pointer to the matching journal_access function and a wrapper call to call it. A few places use naked ocfs2_write_block() calls instead of adding the blocks to the journal. We make sure to calculate their checksum and ecc before the write.

2009-01-05ocfs2: Validate metadata only when it's read from disk.Joel Becker1-27/+64
Add an optional validation hook to ocfs2_read_blocks(). Now the validation function is only called when a block was actually read off of disk. It is not called when the buffer was in cache. We add a buffer state bit BH_NeedsValidate to flag these buffers. It must always be one higher than the last JBD2 buffer state bit. The dinode, dirblock, extent_block, and xattr_block validators are lifted to this scheme directly. The group_descriptor validator needs to be split into two pieces. The first part only needs the gd buffer and is passed to ocfs2_read_block(). The second part requires the dinode as well, and is called every time. It's only 3 compares, so it's tiny. This also allows us to clean up the non-fatal gd check used by resize.c. It now has no magic argument.

2008-10-14ocfs2: Limit inode allocation to 32bits.Joel Becker1-15/+68
ocfs2 inode numbers are block numbers. For any filesystem with less than 2^32 blocks, this is not a problem. However, when ocfs2 starts using JDB2, it will be able to support filesystems with more than 2^32 blocks. This would result in inode numbers higher than 2^32. The problem is that stat(2) can't handle those numbers on 32bit machines. The simple solution is to have ocfs2 allocate all inodes below that boundary. The suballoc code is changed to honor an optional block limit. Only the inode suballocator sets that limit - all other allocations stay unlimited. The biggest trick is to grow the inode suballocator beneath that limit. There's no point in allocating block groups that are above the limit, then rejecting their elements later on. We want to prevent the inode allocator from ever having block groups above the limit. This involves a little gyration with the local alloc code. If the local alloc window is above the limit, it signals the caller to try the global bitmap but does not disable the local alloc file (which can be used for other allocations).

2008-10-14ocfs2: Make ocfs2_extent_tree the first-class representation of a tree.Joel Becker1-7/+5
We now have three different kinds of extent trees in ocfs2: inode data (dinode), extended attributes (xattr_tree), and extended attribute values (xattr_value). There is a nice abstraction for them, ocfs2_extent_tree, but it is hidden in alloc.c. All the calling functions have to pick amongst a varied API and pass in type bits and often extraneous pointers. A better way is to make ocfs2_extent_tree a first-class object. Everyone converts their object to an ocfs2_extent_tree() via the ocfs2_get_*_extent_tree() calls, then uses the ocfs2_extent_tree for all tree calls to alloc.c. This simplifies a lot of callers, making for readability. It also provides an easy way to add additional extent tree types, as they only need to be defined in alloc.c with a ocfs2_get_<new>_extent_tree() function.

2008-10-14ocfs2: Add extent tree operation for xattr value btreesTao Ma1-2/+3
Add some thin wrappers around ocfs2_insert_extent() for each of the 3 different btree types, ocfs2_inode_insert_extent(), ocfs2_xattr_value_insert_extent() and ocfs2_xattr_tree_insert_extent(). The last is for the xattr index btree, which will be used in a followup patch. All the old callers in file.c etc will call ocfs2_dinode_insert_extent(), while the other two handle the xattr issue. And the init of extent tree are handled by these functions. When storing xattr value which is too large, we will allocate some clusters for it and here ocfs2_extent_list and ocfs2_extent_rec will also be used. In order to re-use the b-tree operation code, a new parameter named "private" is added into ocfs2_extent_tree and it is used to indicate the root of ocfs2_exent_list.

2008-10-14ocfs2: Abstract ocfs2_extent_tree in b-tree operations.Tao Ma1-0/+82
In the old extent tree operation, we take the hypothesis that we are using the ocfs2_extent_list in ocfs2_dinode as the tree root. As xattr will also use ocfs2_extent_list to store large value for a xattr entry, we refactor the tree operation so that xattr can use it directly. The refactoring includes 4 steps: 1. Abstract set/get of last_eb_blk and update_clusters since they may be stored in different location for dinode and xattr. 2. Add a new structure named ocfs2_extent_tree to indicate the extent tree the operation will work on. 3. Remove all the use of fe_bh and di, use root_bh and root_el in extent tree instead. So now all the fe_bh is replaced with et->root_bh, el with root_el accordingly. 4. Make ocfs2_lock_allocators generic. Now it is limited to be only used in file extend allocation. But the whole function is useful when we want to store large EAs. Note: This patch doesn't touch ocfs2_commit_truncate() since it is not used for anything other than truncate inode data btrees.

2008-10-14ocfs2: throttle back local alloc when low on disk spaceMark Fasheh1-14/+17
Ocfs2's local allocator disables itself for the duration of a mount point when it has trouble allocating a large enough area from the primary bitmap. That can cause performance problems, especially for disks which were only temporarily full or fragmented. This patch allows for the allocator to shrink it's window first, before being disabled. Later, it can also be re-enabled so that any performance drop is minimized. To do this, we allow the value of osb->local_alloc_bits to be shrunk when needed. The default value is recorded in a mostly read-only variable so that we can re-initialize when required. Locking had to be updated so that we could protect changes to local_alloc_bits. Mostly this involves protecting various local alloc values with the osb spinlock. A new state is also added, OCFS2_LA_THROTTLED, which is used when the local allocator is has shrunk, but is not disabled. If the available space dips below 1 megabyte, the local alloc file is disabled. In either case, local alloc is re-enabled 30 seconds after the event, or when an appropriate amount of bits is seen in the primary bitmap. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
