gfs2: use ->invalidatepage() length argument

2013-05-22T03:58:49Z

->invalidatepage() aop now accepts range to invalidate so we can make use of it in gfs2_invalidatepage(). Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner Acked-by: Steven Whitehouse Cc: cluster-devel@redhat.com

mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept length

2013-05-22T03:17:23Z

Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just up to the certain point. Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the page). This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances for it. We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation. Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

GFS2: replace gfs2_ail structure with gfs2_trans

2013-04-08T07:46:22Z

In order to allow transactions and log flushes to happen at the same time, gfs2 needs to move the transaction accounting and active items list code into the gfs2_trans structure. As a first step toward this, this patch removes the gfs2_ail structure, and handles the active items list in the gfs_trans structure. This keeps gfs2 from allocating an ail structure on log flushes, and gives us a struture that can later be used to store the transaction accounting outside of the gfs2 superblock structure. With this patch, at the end of a transaction, gfs2 will add the gfs2_trans structure to the superblock if there is not one already. This structure now has the active items fields that were previously in gfs2_ail. This is not necessary in the case where the transaction was simply used to add revokes, since these are never written outside of the journal, and thus, don't need an active items list. Also, in order to make sure that the transaction structure is not removed while it's still in use by gfs2_trans_end, unlocking the sd_log_flush_lock has to happen slightly later in ending the transaction.

GFS2: Use ->writepages for ordered writes

2013-01-29T10:29:17Z

Instead of using a list of buffers to write ahead of the journal flush, this now uses a list of inodes and calls ->writepages via filemap_fdatawrite() in order to achieve the same thing. For most use cases this results in a shorter ordered write list, as well as much larger i/os being issued. The ordered write list is sorted by inode number before writing in order to retain the disk block ordering between inodes as per the previous code. The previous ordered write code used to conflict in its assumptions about how to write out the disk blocks with mpage_writepages() so that with this updated version we can also use mpage_writepages() for GFS2's ordered write, writepages implementation. So we will also send larger i/os from writeback too. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

GFS2: Split gfs2_trans_add_bh() into two

2013-01-29T10:28:04Z

There is little common content in gfs2_trans_add_bh() between the data and meta classes by the time that the functions which it calls are taken into account. The intent here is to split this into two separate functions. Stage one is to introduce gfs2_trans_add_data() and gfs2_trans_add_meta() and update the callers accordingly. Later patches will then pull in the content of gfs2_trans_add_bh() and its dependent functions in order to clean up the code in this area. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

GFS2: Add Orlov allocator

2012-11-07T13:33:17Z

Just like ext3, this works on the root directory and any directory with the +T flag set. Also, just like ext3, any subdirectory created in one of the just mentioned cases will be allocated to a random resource group (GFS2 equivalent of a block group). If you are creating a set of directories, each of which will contain a job running on a different node, then by setting +T on the parent directory before creating the subdirectories, each will land up in a different resource group, and thus resource group contention between nodes will be kept to a minimum.

GFS2: change function gfs2_direct_IO to use a normal gfs2_glock_dq

2012-09-24T09:47:06Z

This patch changes function gfs2_direct_IO so that it uses a normal call to gfs2_glock_dq rather than a call to a multiple-dq of one item. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

GFS2: Remove rs_requested field from reservations

2012-09-24T09:46:54Z

The rs_requested field is left over from the original allocation code, however this should have been a parameter passed to the various functions from gfs2_inplace_reserve() and not a member of the reservation structure as the value is not required after the initial allocation. This also helps simplify the code since we no longer need to set the rs_requested to zero. Also the gfs2_inplace_release() function can also be simplified since the reservation structure will always be defined when it is called, and the only remaining task is to unlock the rgrp if required. It can also now be called unconditionally too, resulting in a further simplification. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

GFS2: Fold quota data into the reservations struct

2012-06-06T10:20:22Z

This patch moves the ancillary quota data structures into the block reservations structure. This saves GFS2 some time and effort in allocating and deallocating the qadata structure. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse
