6d4ade986f GFS2: Add atomic_open support
I've restricted atomic_open to only operate on regular files, although
I still don't understand why atomic_open should not be possible also for
directories on GFS2. That can always be added in later though, if it
makes sense.

The ->atomic_open function can be passed negative dentries, which
in most cases means either ENOENT (->lookup) or a call to d_instantiate
(->create). In the GFS2 case though, we need to actually perform the
look up, since we do not know whether there has been a new inode created
on another node. The look up calls d_splice_alias which then tries to
rehash the dentry - so the solution here is to simply check for that
in d_splice_alias. The same issue is likely to affect any other cluster
filesystem implementing ->atomic_open

5a00f3cc97 GFS2: Only do one directory search on create
Creation of a new inode requires a directory search in order to ensure
that we are not trying to create an inode with the same name as an
existing one. This was hidden away inside the create_ok() function.

In the case that there was an existing inode, and a lookup can be
substituted for a create (which is the case with regular files
when the O_EXCL flag is not in use) then we were doing a second
lookup in order to return the inode.

This patch merges these two lookups into one. This can be done by
passing a flag to gfs2_dir_search() to tell it to just return -EEXIST
in the cases where we don't actually want to look up the inode.

79ba74808d GFS2: Use gfs2_dinode_out() in the inode create path
Over the previous two patches relating to inode creation, the
content of init_dinode() has been looking more and more like
gfs2_dinode_out(). This is not an accident! This patch replaces
the parts of init_dinode() which are duplicated in gfs2_dinode_out()
with a call to that function.

Mostly that is straightforward, but there is one issue which needed
to be resolved relating to the link count. The link count has to be
set to zero in a certain error handling code path, which lands up
calling iput(). This is now done specifically in that code path
allowing the link count to be set earlier and written into the
on disk inode by gfs2_dinode_put() in the normal way.

28fb302755 GFS2: Remove gfs2_refresh_inode from inode creation path
The original method for creating inodes used in GFS2 was to fill
out a buffer, with all the information, and then to read that
buffer into the in-core inode, using gfs2_refresh_inode()

The problem with this approach is that all the inode's fields
need to be calculated ahead of time, and were stored in various
variables making the code rather complicated.

The new approach is simply to allocate the in-core inode earlier
and fill in as many fields as possible ahead of time. These can
then be used to initilise the on disk representation. The
code has been working towards the point where it is possible
to remove gfs2_refresh_inode() because all the fields are
correctly initialised ahead of time. We've now reached that
milestone, and have reversed the order of setting up the in
core and on disk inodes.

fd4b4e042c GFS2: Clean up inode creation path
This patch cleans up the inode creation code path in GFS2. After the
Orlov allocator was merged, a number of potential improvements are
now possible, and this is a first set of these.

The quota handling is now updated so that it matches the point in
the code where the allocation takes place. This means that the one
exception in gfs2_alloc_blocks relating to quota is now no longer
required, and we can use the generic code everywhere.

In addition the call to figure out whether we need to allocate any
extra blocks in order to add a directory entry is moved higher up
gfs2_create_inode. This means that if it returns an error, we
can deal with that at a stage where it is easier to handle that case.
The returned status cannot change during the function since we hold
an exclusive lock on the directory.

Two calls to gfs2_rindex_update have been changed to one, again at
the top of gfs2_create_inode to simplify error handling.

The time stamps are also now initialised earlier in the creation
process, this is gradually moving towards being able to remove the
call to gfs2_refresh_inode in gfs2_inode_create once we have all the
fields covered.

94f2f14234 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace and namespace infrastructure changes from Eric W Biederman:
 "This set of changes starts with a few small enhnacements to the user
  namespace.  reboot support, allowing more arbitrary mappings, and
  support for mounting devpts, ramfs, tmpfs, and mqueuefs as just the
  user namespace root.

  I do my best to document that if you care about limiting your
  unprivileged users that when you have the user namespace support
  enabled you will need to enable memory control groups.

  There is a minor bug fix to prevent overflowing the stack if someone
  creates way too many user namespaces.

  The bulk of the changes are a continuation of the kuid/kgid push down
  work through the filesystems.  These changes make using uids and gids
  typesafe which ensures that these filesystems are safe to use when
  multiple user namespaces are in use.  The filesystems converted for
  3.9 are ceph, 9p, afs, ocfs2, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, and cifs.  The
  changes for these filesystems were a little more involved so I split
  the changes into smaller hopefully obviously correct changes.

  XFS is the only filesystem that remains.  I was hoping I could get
  that in this release so that user namespace support would be enabled
  with an allyesconfig or an allmodconfig but it looks like the xfs
  changes need another couple of days before it they are ready."

1e2d9d44f3 GFS2: Set gl_object during inode create
This patch fixes a cluster coherency problem that occurs when one
node creates a file, does several writes, then a different node
tries to write to the same file. When the inode's glock is demoted,
the inode wasn't synced to the media properly because the gl_object
wasn't set. Later, the flush daemon noticed the uncommitted data
and tried to flush it, only to discover the glock was no longer locked
properly in exclusive mode. That caused an assert withdraw.

9dbe9610b9 GFS2: Add Orlov allocator
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.

c9aecf7371 GFS2: Use proper allocation context for new inodes
Rather than using the parent directory's allocation context, this
patch allocated the new inode earlier in the process and then uses
it to contain all the information required. As a result, we can now

than having to use the parent directory's context. This give us a

ff7f4cb461 GFS2: Consolidate free block searching functions
With the recently added block reservation code, an additional function
was added to search for free blocks. This had a restriction of only being
able to search for aligned extents of free blocks. As a result the
allocation patterns when reserving blocks were suboptimal when the
existing allocation of blocks for an inode was not aligned to the same
boundary.

This patch resolves that problem by adding the ability for gfs2_rbm_find
to search for extents of a particular minimum size. We can then use
gfs2_rbm_find for both looking for reservations, and also looking for
free blocks on an individual basis when we actually come to do the
allocation later on. As a result we only need a single set of code
to deal with both situations.

The function gfs2_rbm_from_block() is moved up rgrp.c so that it
occurs before all of its callers.

Many thanks are due to Bob for helping track down the final issue in
this patch. That fix to the rb_tree traversal and to not share
block reservations from a dirctory to its children is included here.

71f890f7f7 GFS2: Remove rs_requested field from reservations
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.

This patch reduces GFS2 file fragmentation by pre-reserving blocks. The
resulting improved on disk layout greatly speeds up operations in cases

A typical example of this is 10 parallel dd processes, each writing to a

The implementation uses an rbtree of reservations attached to each
resource group (and each inode).

This patch lengthens the lifespan of the reservations structure for
inodes. Before, they were allocated and deallocated for every write
operation. With this patch, they are allocated when the first write

It's more efficient to do it this way because it saves GFS2 a lot of
unnecessary allocates and frees. It also gives us more flexibility
for the future: (1) we can now fold the qadata structure back into
the structure and save those alloc/frees, (2) we can use this for

66fc061bda GFS2: FITRIM ioctl support
The FITRIM ioctl provides an alternative way to send discard requests to
the underlying device. Using the discard mount option results in every
freed block generating a discard request to the block device. This can
be slow, since many block devices can only process discard requests of
larger sizes, and also such operations can be time consuming.

Rather than using the discard mount option, FITRIM allows a sweep of the
filesystem on an occasional basis, and also to optionally avoid sending
down discard requests for smaller regions.

In GFS2 FITRIM will work at resource group granularity. There is a flag
for each resource group which keeps track of which resource groups have
been trimmed. This flag is reset whenever a deallocation occurs in the
resource group, and set whenever a successful FITRIM of that resource
group has taken place. This helps to reduce repeated discard requests
for the same block ranges, again improving performance.

564e12b115 GFS2: decouple quota allocations from block allocations
This patch separates the code pertaining to allocations into two
parts: quota-related information and block reservations.
This patch also moves all the block reservation structure allocations to
function gfs2_inplace_reserve to simplify the code, and moves
the frees to function gfs2_inplace_release.

6e87ed0fc9 GFS2: move toward a generic multi-block allocator
This patch is a revision of the one I previously posted.
I tried to integrate all the suggestions Steve gave.
The purpose of the patch is to change function gfs2_alloc_block
(allocate either a dinode block or an extent of data blocks)
to a more generic gfs2_alloc_blocks function that can
allocate both a dinode _and_ an extent of data blocks in the
same call. This will ultimately help us create a multi-block
reservation scheme to reduce file fragmentation.

This patch moves more toward a generic multi-block allocator that
takes a pointer to the number of data blocks to allocate, plus whether
or not to allocate a dinode. In theory, it could be called to allocate
(1) a single dinode block, (2) a group of one or more data blocks, or
(3) a dinode plus several data blocks.

3c5d785acf GFS2: combine gfs2_alloc_block and gfs2_alloc_di
GFS2 functions gfs2_alloc_block and gfs2_alloc_di do basically
the same things, with a few exceptions. This patch combines
the two functions into a slightly more generic gfs2_alloc_block.
Having one centralized block allocation function will reduce
code redundancy and make it easier to implement multi-block
reservations to reduce file fragmentation in the future.

54335b1fca GFS2: Cache the most recently used resource group in the inode
This means that after the initial allocation for any inode, the
last used resource group is cached in the inode for future use.
This drastically reduces the number of lookups of resource
groups in the common case, and this the contention on that
data structure.

The allocation algorithm is the same as previously, except that we
always check to see if the goal block is within the cached rgrp
first before going to the rbtree to look one up.

8339ee543e GFS2: Make resource groups "append only" during life of fs
Since we have ruled out supporting online filesystem shrink,
it is possible to make the resource group list append only
during the life of a super block. This gives several benefits:

Firstly, we only need to read new rindex elements as they are added
rather than needing to reread the whole rindex file each time one
element is added.

Secondly, the rindex glock can be held for much shorter periods of
time, and is completely removed from the fast path for allocations.
The lock is taken in shared mode only when updating the resource
groups when the first allocation occurs, and after a grow has
taken place.

Thirdly, this results in a reduction in code size, and everything
gets a lot simpler to understand in this area.

9a63edd12b GFS2: Clean up gfs2_create
If we pass through knowledge of whether the creation is intended to be
exclusive or not, then we can deal with that in gfs2_create_inode
and remove one set of locking. Also this removes the loop in
gfs2_create and simplifies the code a bit.

ab9bbda020 GFS2: Use ->dirty_inode()
The aim of this patch is to use the newly enhanced ->dirty_inode()
super block operation to deal with atime updates, rather than
piggy backing that code into ->write_inode() as is currently
done.

The net result is a simplification of the code in various places
and a reduction of the number of gfs2_dinode_out() calls since
this is now implied by ->dirty_inode().

Some of the mark_inode_dirty() calls have been moved under glocks
in order to take advantage of then being able to avoid locking in
->dirty_inode() when we already have suitable locks.

One consequence is that generic_write_end() now correctly deals
with file size updates, so that we do not need a separate check
for that afterwards. This also, indirectly, means that fdatasync
should work correctly on GFS2 - the current code always syncs the
metadata whether it needs to or not.

Has survived testing with postmark (with and without atime) and
also fsx.

40ac218f52 GFS2: Fix inode allocation error path
If we have got far enough through the inode allocation code
path that an inode has already been allocated, then we must
call iput to dispose of it, if an error occurs during a
later part of the process. This will always be the final iput
since there will be no other references to the inode.

Unlike when the inode has been unlinked, its block state will
be GFS2_BLKST_INODE rather than GFS2_BLKST_UNLINKED so we need
to skip the test in ->evict_inode() for this one case in order
to ensure that it will be deallocated correctly. This patch adds
a new flag in order to ensure that this will happen correctly.
