GFS2: Don't brelse rgrp buffer_heads every allocation

2015-06-19T12:40:22+00:00

This patch allows the block allocation code to retain the buffers for the resource groups so they don't need to be re-read from buffer cache with every request. This is a performance improvement that's especially noticeable when resource groups are very large. For example, with 2GB resource groups and 4K blocks, there can be 33 blocks for every resource group. This patch allows those 33 buffers to be kept around and not read in and thrown away with every operation. The buffers are released when the resource group is either synced or invalidated.

gfs2: allow quota_check and inplace_reserve to return available blocks

2015-03-18T17:47:10+00:00

struct gfs2_alloc_parms is passed to gfs2_quota_check() and gfs2_inplace_reserve() with ap->target containing the number of blocks being requested for allocation in the current operation. We add a new field to struct gfs2_alloc_parms called 'allowed'. gfs2_quota_check() and gfs2_inplace_reserve() return the max blocks allowed by quota and the max blocks allowed by the chosen rgrp respectively in 'allowed'. A new field 'min_target', when non-zero, tells gfs2_quota_check() and gfs2_inplace_reserve() to not return -EDQUOT/-ENOSPC when there are atleast 'min_target' blocks allowable/available. The assumption is that the caller is ok with just 'min_target' blocks and will likely proceed with allocating them. Signed-off-by: Abhi Das Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson Acked-by: Steven Whitehouse

GFS2: If we use up our block reservation, request more next time

2014-11-03T19:26:54+00:00

If we run out of blocks for a given multi-block allocation, we obviously did not reserve enough. We should reserve more blocks for the next reservation to reduce fragmentation. This patch increases the size hint for reservations when they run out. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

GFS2: fix bad inode i_goal values during block allocation

2014-09-19T09:45:18+00:00

This patch checks if i_goal is either zero or if doesn't exist within any rgrp (i.e gfs2_blk2rgrpd() returns NULL). If so, it assigns the ip->i_no_addr block as the i_goal. There are two scenarios where a bad i_goal can result in a -EBADSLT error. 1. Attempting to allocate to an existing inode: Control reaches gfs2_inplace_reserve() and ip->i_goal is bad. We need to fix i_goal here. 2. A new inode is created in a directory whose i_goal is hosed: In this case, the parent dir's i_goal is copied onto the new inode. Since the new inode is not yet created, the ip->i_no_addr field is invalid and so, the fix in gfs2_inplace_reserve() as per 1) won't work in this scenario. We need to catch and fix it sooner in the parent dir itself (gfs2_create_inode()), before it is copied to the new inode. Signed-off-by: Abhi Das Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

GFS2: Don't use ENOBUFS when ENOMEM is the correct error code

2014-01-16T10:31:13+00:00

Al Viro has tactfully pointed out that we are using the incorrect error code in some cases. This patch fixes that, and also removes the (unused) return value for glock dumping. > * gfs2_iget() - ENOBUFS instead of ENOMEM. ENOBUFS is > "No buffer space available (POSIX.1 (XSI STREAMS option))" and since > we don't support STREAMS it's probably fair game, but... what the hell?

GFS2: Add allocation parameters structure

2013-10-02T10:13:25+00:00

This patch adds a structure to contain allocation parameters with the intention of future expansion of this structure. The idea is that we should be able to add more information about the allocation in the future in order to allow the allocator to make a better job of placing the requests on-disk. There is no functional difference from applying this patch. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

GFS2: Clean up reservation removal

2013-09-27T11:49:33+00:00

The reservation for an inode should be cleared when it is truncated so that we can start again at a different offset for future allocations. We could try and do better than that, by resetting the search based on where the truncation started from, but this is only a first step. In addition, there are three callers of gfs2_rs_delete() but only one of those should really be testing the value of i_writecount. While we get away with that in the other cases currently, I think it would be better if we made that test specific to the one case which requires it. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

GFS2: Remove vestigial parameter ip from function rs_deltree

2013-04-08T07:41:04+00:00

The functions that delete block reservations from the rgrp block reservations rbtree no longer use the ip parameter. This patch eliminates the parameter. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

GFS2: Add Orlov allocator

2012-11-07T13:33:17+00:00

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: Consolidate free block searching functions

2012-09-24T09:47:26+00:00

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. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson
