xfs: Extend project quotas to support 32bit project ids

2010-10-18T20:08:08Z

This patch adds support for 32bit project quota identifiers. On disk format is backward compatible with 16bit projid numbers. projid on disk is now kept in two 16bit values - di_projid_lo (which holds the same position as old 16bit projid value) and new di_projid_hi (takes existing padding) and converts from/to 32bit value on the fly. xfs_admin (for existing fs), mkfs.xfs (for new fs) needs to be used to enable PROJID32BIT support.

xfs: remove xfs_buf wrappers

2010-10-18T20:08:07Z

Stop having two different names for many buffer functions and use the more descriptive xfs_buf_* names directly. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Alex Elder

xfs: remove xfs_cred.h

2010-10-18T20:08:06Z

We're not actually passing around credentials inside XFS for a while now, so remove all xfs_cred.h with it's cred_t typedef and all instances of it. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Alex Elder

xfs: rename xfs_buf_get_nodaddr to be more appropriate

2010-10-18T20:07:46Z

xfs_buf_get_nodaddr() is really used to allocate a buffer that is uncached. While it is not directly assigned a disk address, the fact that they are not cached is a more important distinction. With the upcoming uncached buffer read primitive, we should be consistent with this disctinction. While there, make page allocation in xfs_buf_get_nodaddr() safe against memory reclaim re-entrancy into the filesystem by allowing a flags parameter to be passed.

xfs: don't use vfs writeback for pure metadata modifications

2010-10-18T20:07:45Z

Under heavy multi-way parallel create workloads, the VFS struggles to write back all the inodes that have been changed in age order. The bdi flusher thread becomes CPU bound, spending 85% of it's time in the VFS code, mostly traversing the superblock dirty inode list to separate dirty inodes old enough to flush. We already keep an index of all metadata changes in age order - in the AIL - and continued log pressure will do age ordered writeback without any extra overhead at all. If there is no pressure on the log, the xfssyncd will periodically write back metadata in ascending disk address offset order so will be very efficient. Hence we can stop marking VFS inodes dirty during transaction commit or when changing timestamps during transactions. This will keep the inodes in the superblock dirty list to those containing data or unlogged metadata changes. However, the timstamp changes are slightly more complex than this - there are a couple of places that do unlogged updates of the timestamps, and the VFS need to be informed of these. Hence add a new function xfs_trans_ichgtime() for transactional changes, and leave xfs_ichgtime() for the non-transactional changes.

xfs: Introduce XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE

2010-10-18T20:07:25Z

XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE is the equivalent of an atomic XFS_IOC_UNRESVSP/ XFS_IOC_RESVSP call pair. It enabled ranges of written data to be turned into zeroes without requiring IO or having to free and reallocate the extents in the range given as would occur if we had to punch and then preallocate them separately. This enables applications to zero parts of files very quickly without changing the layout of the files in any way. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig

xfs: prevent 32bit overflow in space reservation

2010-09-03T02:19:33Z

If we attempt to preallocate more than 2^32 blocks of space in a single syscall, the transaction block reservation will overflow leading to a hangs in the superblock block accounting code. This is trivially reproduced with xfs_io. Fix the problem by capping the allocation reservation to the maximum number of blocks a single xfs_bmapi() call can allocate (2^21 blocks).

xfs: new truncate sequence

2010-08-09T20:47:42Z

Convert XFS to the new truncate sequence. We still can have errors after updating the file size in xfs_setattr, but these are real I/O errors and lead to a transaction abort and filesystem shutdown, so they are not an issue. Errors from ->write_begin and write_end can now be handled correctly because we can actually get rid of the delalloc extents while previous the buffer state was stipped in block_invalidatepage. There is still no error handling for ->direct_IO, because doing so will need some major restructuring given that we only have the iolock shared and do not hold i_mutex at all. Fortunately leaving the normally allocated blocks behind there is not a major issue and this will get cleaned up by xfs_free_eofblock later. Note: the patch is against Al's vfs.git tree as that contains the nessecary preparations. I'd prefer to get it applied there so that we can get some testing in linux-next.

xfs: fix unsigned underflow in xfs_free_eofblocks

map_len is unsigned. Checking map_len <= 0 is buggy when it should be below zero. So, check exact expression instead of map_len. Signed-off-by: Kulikov Vasiliy Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

xfs: split xfs_itrace_entry

2010-07-26T18:16:44Z

Replace the xfs_itrace_entry catchall with specific trace points. For most simple callers we now use the simple inode class, which used to be the iget class, but add more details tracing for namespace events, which now includes the name of the directory entries manipulated. Remove the xfs_inactive trace point, which is a duplicate of the clear_inode one, and the xfs_change_file_space trace point, which is immediately followed by the more specific alloc/free space trace points.
