      [GFS2] Recovery for lost unlinked inodes · c8cdf479
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      Under certain circumstances its possible (though rather unlikely) that
      inodes which were unlinked by one node while still open on another might
      get "lost" in the sense that they don't get deallocated if the node
      which held the inode open crashed before it was unlinked.
      
      This patch adds the recovery code which allows automatic deallocation of
      the inode if its found during block allocation (the sensible time to
      look for such inodes since we are scanning the rgrp's bitmaps anyway at
      this time, so it adds no overhead to do this).
      
      Since the inode will have had its i_nlink set to zero, all we need to
      trigger recovery is a lookup and an iput(), and the normal deallocation
      code takes care of the rest.

      [GFS2] Can't mount GFS2 file system on AoE device · b35997d4
      Robert Peterson authored
      This patch fixes bug 243131: Can't mount GFS2 file system on AoE device.
      When using AoE devices with lock_nolock, there is no locking table, so
      gfs2 (and gfs1) uses the superblock s_id.  This turns out to be the device
      name in some cases.  In the case of AoE, the device contains a slash,
      (e.g. "etherd/e1.1p2") which is an invalid character when we try to
      register the table in sysfs.  This patch replaces the "/" with underscore.
      Rather than add a new variable to the stack, I'm just reusing a (char *)
      variable that's no longer used: table.
      
      This code has been tested on the failing system using a RHEL5 patch.
      The upstream code was tested by using gfs2_tool sb to interject a "/"
      into the table name of a clustered gfs2 file system.

      [GFS2] Fix bug in error path of inode · e1cc8603
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      This fixes a bug in the ordering of operations in the error path of
      createi. Its not valid to do an iput() when holding the inode's glock
      since the iput() will (in this case) result in delete_inode() being
      called which needs to grab the lock itself. This was causing the
      recursive lock checking code to trigger.

      [GFS2] Add nanosecond timestamp feature · 4bd91ba1
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      This adds a nanosecond timestamp feature to the GFS2 filesystem. Due
      to the way that the on-disk format works, older filesystems will just
      appear to have this field set to zero. When mounted by an older version
      of GFS2, the filesystem will simply ignore the extra fields so that
      it will again appear to have whole second resolution, so that its
      trivially backward compatible.

      [GFS2] Fix sign problem in quota/statfs and cleanup _host structures · bb8d8a6f
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      This patch fixes some sign issues which were accidentally introduced
      into the quota & statfs code during the endianess annotation process.
      Also included is a general clean up which moves all of the _host
      structures out of gfs2_ondisk.h (where they should not have been to
      start with) and into the places where they are actually used (often only
      one place). Also those _host structures which are not required any more
      are removed entirely (which is the eventual plan for all of them).
      
      The conversion routines from ondisk.c are also moved into the places
      where they are actually used, which for almost every one, was just one
      single place, so all those are now static functions. This also cleans up
      the end of gfs2_ondisk.h which no longer needs the #ifdef __KERNEL__.
      
      The net result is a reduction of about 100 lines of code, many functions
      now marked static plus the bug fixes as mentioned above. For good
      measure I ran the code through sparse after making these changes to
      check that there are no warnings generated.

      [GFS2] fix jdata issues · ddf4b426
      Benjamin Marzinski authored
      This is a patch for the first three issues of RHBZ #238162
      
      The first issue is that when you allocate a new page for a file, it will not
      start off uptodate. This makes sense, since you haven't written anything to that
      part of the file yet.  Unfortunately, gfs2_pin() checks to make sure that the
      buffers are uptodate.  The solution to this is to mark the buffers uptodate in
      gfs2_commit_write(), after they have been zeroed out and have the data written
      into them.  I'm pretty confident with this fix, although it's not completely
      obvious that there is no problem with marking the buffers uptodate here.
      
      The second issue is simply that you can try to pin a data buffer that is already
      on the incore log, and thus, already pinned. This patch checks to see if this
      buffer is already on the log, and exits databuf_lo_add() if it is, just like
      buf_lo_add() does.
      
      The third issue is that gfs2_log_flush() doesn't do it's block accounting
      correctly.  Both metadata and journaled data are logged, but gfs2_log_flush()
      only compares the number of metadata blocks with the number of blocks to commit
      to the ondisk journal.  This patch also counts the journaled data blocks.

      [GFS2] Clean up inode number handling · dbb7cae2
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      This patch cleans up the inode number handling code. The main difference
      is that instead of looking up the inodes using a struct gfs2_inum_host
      we now use just the no_addr member of this structure. The tests relating
      to no_formal_ino can then be done by the calling code. This has
      advantages in that we want to do different things in different code
      paths if the no_formal_ino doesn't match. In the NFS patch we want to
      return -ESTALE, but in the ->lookup() path, its a bug in the fs if the
      no_formal_ino doesn't match and thus we can withdraw in this case.
      
      In order to later fix bz #201012, we need to be able to look up an inode
      without knowing no_formal_ino, as the only information that is known to
      us is the on-disk location of the inode in question.
      
      This patch will also help us to fix bz #236099 at a later date by
      cleaning up a lot of the code in that area.
      
      There are no user visible changes as a result of this patch and there
      are no changes to the on-disk format either.

      1. It fixes a stupid mistake in the previous addendum that broke gfs2.
         Ref: https://www.redhat.com/archives/cluster-devel/2007-May/msg00162.html
      2. It fixes a problem that Dave Teigland pointed out regarding the
         external declarations in ops_address.h being in the wrong place.
      3. It recasts a couple more %llu printks to (unsigned long long)
         as requested by Steve Whitehouse.
      
      I would have loved to put this all in one revised patch, but there was
      a rush to get some patches for RHEL5.	Therefore, the previous patches
      were applied to the git tree "as is" and therefore, I'm posting another
      addendum.  Sorry.

      [GFS2] Kernel changes to support new gfs2_grow command (part 2) · 6c53267f
      Robert Peterson authored
      To avoid code redundancy, I separated out the operational "guts" into
      a new function called read_rindex_entry.  Then I made two functions:
      the closer-to-original gfs2_ri_update (without the special condition
      checks) and gfs2_ri_update_special that's designed with that condition
      in mind.  (I don't like the name, but if you have a suggestion, I'm
      all ears).
      
      Oh, and there's an added benefit:  we don't need all the ugly gotos
      anymore.  ;)
      
      This patch has been tested with gfs2_fsck_hellfire (which runs for
      three and a half hours, btw).

      [GFS2] kernel changes to support new gfs2_grow command · 7ae8fa84
      Robert Peterson authored
      This is another revision of my gfs2 kernel patch that allows
      gfs2_grow to function properly.
      
      Steve Whitehouse expressed some concerns about the previous
      patch and I restructured it based on his comments.
      The previous patch was doing the statfs_change at file close time,
      under its own transaction.  The current patch does the statfs_change
      inside the gfs2_commit_write function, which keeps it under the
      umbrella of the inode transaction.
      
      I can't call ri_update to re-read the rindex file during the
      transaction because the transaction may have outstanding unwritten
      buffers attached to the rgrps that would be otherwise blown away.
      So instead, I created a new function, gfs2_ri_total, that will
      re-read the rindex file just to total the file system space
      for the sake of the statfs_change.  The ri_update will happen
      later, when gfs2 realizes the version number has changed, as it
      happened before my patch.
      
      Since the statfs_change is happening at write_commit time and there
      may be multiple writes to the rindex file for one grow operation.
      So one consequence of this restructuring is that instead of getting
      one kernel message to indicate the change, you may see several.
      For example, before when you did a gfs2_grow, you'd get a single
      message like:
      
      GFS2: File system extended by 247876 blocks (968MB)
      
      Now you get something like:
      
      GFS2: File system extended by 207896 blocks (812MB)
      GFS2: File system extended by 39980 blocks (156MB)
      
      This version has also been successfully run against the hours-long
      "gfs2_fsck_hellfire" test that does several gfs2_grow and gfs2_fsck
      while interjecting file system damage.  It does this repeatedly
      under a variety Resource Group conditions.

      [DLM] fix a couple of races · 3168b078
      Satyam Sharma authored
      Fix two races in fs/dlm/config.c:
      
      (1) Grab the configfs subsystem semaphore before calling
      config_group_find_obj() in get_space(). This solves a potential race
      between get_space() and concurrent mkdir(2) or rmdir(2).
      
      (2) Grab a reference on the found config_item _while_ holding the configfs
      subsystem semaphore in get_comm(), and not after it. This solves a
      potential race between get_comm() and concurrent rmdir(2).

      [GFS2] flush the glock completely in inode_go_sync · b524fe64
      Benjamin Marzinski authored
      Fix for bz #231910
      When filemap_fdatawrite() is called on the inode mapping in data=ordered mode,
      it will add the glock to the log. In inode_go_sync(), if you do the
      gfs2_log_flush() before this, after the filemap_fdatawrite() call, the glock
      and its associated data buffers will be on the log again. This means you can
      demote a lock from exclusive, without having it flushed from the log. The
      attached patch simply moves the gfs2_log_flush up to after the
      filemap_fdatawrite() call.
      
      Originally, I tried moving the gfs2_log_flush to after gfs2_meta_sync(), but
      that caused me to trip the following assert.
      
      GFS2: fsid=cypher-36:test.0: fatal: assertion "!buffer_busy(bh)" failed
      GFS2: fsid=cypher-36:test.0:   function = gfs2_ail_empty_gl, file = fs/gfs2/glops.c, line = 61
      
      It appears that gfs2_log_flush() puts some of the glocks buffers in the busy
      state and the filemap_fdatawrite() call is necessary to flush them. This makes
      me worry slightly that a related problem could happen because of moving the
      gfs2_log_flush() after the initial filemap_fdatawrite(), but I assume that
      gfs2_ail_empty_gl() would catch that case as well.
