The only reason for adding glocks to the journal was to keep track of which locks required a log flush prior to release. We add a flag to the glock to allow this check to be made in a simpler way. This reduces the size of a glock (by 12 bytes on i386, 24 on x86_64) and means that we can avoid extra work during the journal flush. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

Use wait_event_interruptible() in the lock_dlm thread instead of an open coded equivalent, and include a kthread_should_stop() check in the wait test so we don't miss a kthread_stop(). Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This patch changes the /sys/fs/gfs2/<s_id>/id file to give the device id "major:minor" rather than the s_id. That enables gfs2_tool to match devices properly (by id, not name) when locating the tuning files.

The HIF_MUTEX and HIF_PROMOTE flags were set on the glock holders depending upon which of the two waiters lists they were going to be queued upon. They were then tested when the holders were taken off the lists to ensure that the right type of holder was being dequeued. Since we are already using separate lists, there doesn't seem a lot of point having these flags as well, and since setting them and testing them is in the fast path for locking and unlocking glock, this patch removes them.

Previously we were doing (write data, wait for data, write metadata, wait for metadata). After this patch we so (write metadata, write data, wait for data, wait for metadata) which should be more efficient. Also I noticed that the drop_bh and xmote_bh functions were almost identical. In fact the only difference was a single test, and that test is such that in the drop_bh case, it would always evaluate to the correct result. As such we can use the xmote_bh functions in all the places where we were using the drop_bh function and remove the drop_bh functions. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

This call to reclaim glocks is not needed, and in particular we don't want it in the fast path for locking glocks. The limit was entirely arbitrary anyway and we can't expect users to adjust things like this, the remaining code will do the right thing on its own.

This is an addendum to the new AOPs work which moves the point at which we take the page lock so that we don't get it until the last possible moment. This resolves a conflict between starting transactions and the page lock. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

Steven Whitehouse authored
This patch resolves a lock ordering issue where we had been getting a transaction lock in the wrong order with respect to the page lock. By using writepages rather than just writepage, it is then possible to start a transaction before locking the page, and thus matching the locking order elsewhere in the code.

This patch splits gfs2_writepage into separate functions for each of the three cases: writeback, ordered and journalled. As a result it becomes a lot easier to see what each one is doing. The common code is moved into gfs2_writepage_common. This fixes a performance bug where we were doing more work than strictly required in the ordered write case.

Steven Whitehouse authored
Just like ext3 we now have three sets of address space operations to cover the cases of writeback, ordered and journalled data writes. This means that the individual operations can now become less complicated as we are able to remove some of the tests for file data mode from the code.

This adds a function "gfs2_is_writeback()" along the lines of the existing "gfs2_is_jdata()" in order to clean up the code and make the various tests for the inode mode more obvious. It also fixes the PageChecked() logic where we were resetting the flag too early in the case of an error path. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

Steven Whitehouse authored
The i_cache was designed to keep references to the indirect blocks used during block mapping so that they didn't have to be looked up continually. The idea failed because there are too many places where the i_cache needs to be freed, and this has in the past been the cause of many bugs. In addition there was no performance benefit being gained since the disk blocks in question were cached anyway. So this patch removes it in order to simplify the code to prepare for other changes which would otherwise have had to add further support for this feature.

This cleans up the mmap() code path for GFS2 by implementing the page_mkwrite function for GFS2. We are thus able to use the generic filemap_fault function for our ->fault() implementation. This now means that shared writable mappings will be much more efficiently shared across the cluster if there is a reasonable proportion of read activity (the greater proportion, the better). As a side effect, it also reduces the size of the code, removes special cases from readpage and readpages, and makes the code path easier to follow.

Steven Whitehouse authored
As requested by Christoph, this patch cleans up GFS2's internal read function so that it no longer uses the do_generic_mapping_read function. This function is obsolete and GFS2 is the last user of it. As a side effect the internal read code gets smaller and easier to read and gfs2_readpage is split into two. One function has the locking and the other function has the rest of the logic. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>

Fix a race condition where multiple glock demote requests are sent to a node back-to-back. This patch does a check inside handle_callback() to see whether a demote request is in progress. If true, it sets a flag to make sure run_queue() will loop again to handle the new request, instead of erronously setting gl_demote_state to a different state. Signed-off-by: S.

Before transmission of the last word in PIO RX_ONLY mode rx+tx mode is enabled: /* prevent last RX_ONLY read from triggering * more word i/o: switch to rx+tx */ if (c == 0 && tx == NULL) mcspi_write_cs_reg(spi, OMAP2_MCSPI_CHCONF0, l); But because c is decremented after the test, c will never be zero and rx+tx will not be enabled. This breaks RX_ONLY mode PIO transfers. Fix it by decrementing c in the beginning of the various I/O loops.

The shared page table code for hugetlb memory on x86 and x86_64 is causing a leak. When a user of hugepages exits using this code the system leaks some of the hugepages. ------------------------------------------------------- Part of /proc/meminfo just before database startup: HugePages_Total: 5500 HugePages_Free: 5500 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB Just before shutdown: HugePages_Total: 5500 HugePages_Free: 4475 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB After shutdown: HugePages_Total: 5500 HugePages_Free: 4988 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB ---------------------------------------------------------- The problem occurs durring a fork, in copy_hugetlb_page_range(). It locates the dst_pte using huge_pte_alloc(). Since huge_pte_alloc() calls huge_pmd_share() it will share the pmd page if can, yet the main loop in copy_hugetlb_page_range() does a get_page() on every hugepage. This is a violation of the shared hugepmd pagetable protocol and creates additional referenced to the hugepages causing a leak when the unmap of the VMA occurs. We can skip the entire replication of the ptes when the hugepage pagetables are shared. The attached patch skips copying the ptes and the get_page() calls if the hugetlbpage pagetable is shared.

Michael Wu noticed in his lkml post at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119396182726091&w=2 that certain wireless drivers ended up having their name in module memory, which would then crash the kernel on module unload. The patch he proposed was a bit clumsy in that it increased the size of a lockdep entry significantly; the patch below tries another approach, it checks, on module teardown, if the name of a class is in module space and then zaps the class. This is very similar to what we already do with keys that are in module space.

This DMI blacklist reduces the console messages on systems which have a BIOS that invokes OSI(Linux). As the DMI blacklist already knows about these systems, the request for DMI info itself is disabled. Further, if OSI(Linux) has already been determined to have no beneift, we disable the console message requesting acpi_osi=Linux test results. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
