ocfs2: Compute metaecc for superblocks during online resize.

2010-04-01T01:39:08Z

Online resize writes out the new superblock and its backups directly. The metaecc data wasn't being recomputed. Let's do that directly. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker Acked-by: Mark Fasheh [ Cc: stable@kernel.org

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32Z

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

ocfs2: Take the inode out of the metadata read/write paths.

2009-09-04T23:07:48Z

We are really passing the inode into the ocfs2_read/write_blocks() functions to get at the metadata cache. This commit passes the cache directly into the metadata block functions, divorcing them from the inode. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker

ocfs2: Use BH_JBDPrivateStart instead of BH_Unshadow

2009-01-05T16:40:24Z

This is safer. We no longer have to worry about tracking changes to jbd_state_bits. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh

ocfs2: Validate metadata only when it's read from disk.

2009-01-05T16:36:53Z

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. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh

ocfs2: fix regression in ocfs2_read_blocks_sync()

2008-12-01T22:46:58Z

We're panicing in ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() if a jbd-managed buffer is seen. At first glance, this seems ok but in reality it can happen. My test case was to just run 'exorcist'. A struct inode is being pushed out of memory but is then re-read at a later time, before the buffer has been checkpointed by jbd. This causes a BUG to be hit in ocfs2_read_blocks_sync().

ocfs2: Make cached block reads the common case.

2008-10-14T18:58:22Z

ocfs2_read_blocks() currently requires the CACHED flag for cached I/O. However, that's the common case. Let's flip it around and provide an IGNORE_CACHE flag for the special users. This has the added benefit of cleaning up the code some (ignore_cache takes on its special meaning earlier in the loop). Signed-off-by: Joel Becker Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh

ocfs2: Require an inode for ocfs2_read_block(s)().

2008-10-14T18:43:29Z

Now that synchronous readers are using ocfs2_read_blocks_sync(), all callers of ocfs2_read_blocks() are passing an inode. Use it unconditionally. Since it's there, we don't need to pass the ocfs2_super either. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh
