2011-10-14exofs: Support for short read/writesBoaz Harrosh1-9/+26
If at read/write_done the actual IO was shorter then requested, reported in returned ios->length. It is not an error. The reminder of the pages should just be unlocked but not marked uptodate or end_page_writeback. They will be re issued later by the VFS. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
2011-10-14ore: Remove check for ios->kern_buff in _prepare_for_striping to laterBoaz Harrosh1-23/+13
Move the check and preparation of the ios->kern_buff case to later inside _write_mirror(). Since read was never used with ios->kern_buff its support is removed instead of fixed. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
2011-10-14ore: cleanup: Embed an ore_striping_info inside ore_io_stateBoaz Harrosh1-37/+24
Now that each ore_io_state covers only a single raid group. A single striping_info math is needed. Embed one inside ore_io_state to cache the calculation results and eliminate an extra call. Also the outer _prepare_for_striping is removed since it does nothing. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
2011-10-14ore: Only IO one group at a time (API change)Boaz Harrosh2-51/+154
Usually a single IO is confined to one group of devices (group_width) and at the boundary of a raid group it can spill into a second group. Current code would allocate a full device_table size array at each io_state so it can comply to requests that span two groups. Needless to say that is very wasteful, specially when device_table count can get very large (hundreds even thousands), while a group_width is usually 8 or 10. * Change ore API to trim on IO that spans two raid groups. The user passes offset+length to ore_get_rw_state, the ore might trim on that length if spanning a group boundary. The user must check ios->length or ios->nrpages to see how much IO will be preformed. It is the responsibility of the user to re-issue the reminder of the IO. * Modify exofs To copy spilled pages on to the next IO. This means one last kick is needed after all coalescing of pages is done. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
2011-10-04ore/exofs: Change the type of the devices array (API change)Boaz Harrosh3-42/+69
In the pNFS obj-LD the device table at the layout level needs to point to a device_cache node, where it is possible and likely that many layouts will point to the same device-nodes. In Exofs we have a more orderly structure where we have a single array of devices that repeats twice for a round-robin view of the device table This patch moves to a model that can be used by the pNFS obj-LD where struct ore_components holds an array of ore_dev-pointers. (ore_dev is newly defined and contains a struct osd_dev *od member) Each pointer in the array of pointers will point to a bigger user-defined dev_struct. That can be accessed by use of the container_of macro. In Exofs an __alloc_dev_table() function allocates the ore_dev-pointers array as well as an exofs_dev array, in one allocation and does the addresses dance to set everything pointing correctly. It still keeps the double allocation trick for the inodes round-robin view of the table. The device table is always allocated dynamically, also for the single device case. So it is unconditionally freed at umount. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

2011-10-03exofs: Remove unused data_map member from exofs_sb_infoBoaz Harrosh2-38/+22
The struct pnfs_osd_data_map data_map member of exofs_sb_info was never used after mount. In fact all it's members were duplicated by the ore_layout structure. So just remove the duplicated information. Also removed some stupid, but perfectly supported, restrictions on layout parameters. The case where num_devices is not divisible by mirror_count+1 is perfectly fine since the rotating device view will eventually use all the devices it can get.

2011-08-07exofs: Rename raid engine from exofs/ios.c => oreBoaz Harrosh5-255/+170
ORE stands for "Objects Raid Engine" This patch is a mechanical rename of everything that was in ios.c and its API declaration to an ore.c and an osd_ore.h header. The ore engine will later be used by the pnfs objects layout driver. * File ios.c => ore.c * Declaration of types and API are moved from exofs.h to a new osd_ore.h * All used types are prefixed by ore_ from their exofs_ name. * Shift includes from exofs.h to osd_ore.h so osd_ore.h is independent, include it from exofs.h. Other than a pure rename there are no other changes. Next patch will move the ore into it's own module and will export the API to be used by exofs and later the layout driver Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
2011-08-07exofs: ios: Move to a per inode components & device-tableBoaz Harrosh4-183/+218
Exofs raid engine was saving on memory space by having a single layout-info, single pid, and a single device-table, global to the filesystem. Then passing a credential and object_id info at the io_state level, private for each inode. It would also devise this contraption of rotating the device table view for each inode->ino to spread out the device usage. This is not compatible with the pnfs-objects standard, demanding that each inode can have it's own layout-info, device-table, and each object component it's own pid, oid and creds. So: Bring exofs raid engine to be usable for generic pnfs-objects use by: * Define an exofs_comp structure that holds obj_id and credential info. * Break up exofs_layout struct to an exofs_components structure that holds a possible array of exofs_comp and the array of devices + the size of the arrays. * Add a "comps" parameter to get_io_state() that specifies the ids creds and device array to use for each IO. This enables to keep the layout global, but the device-table view, creds and IDs at the inode level. It only adds two 64bit to each inode, since some of these members already existed in another form. * ios raid engine now access layout-info and comps-info through the passed pointers. Everything is pre-prepared by caller for generic access of these structures and arrays. At the exofs Level: * Super block holds an exofs_components struct that holds the device array, previously in layout. The devices there are in device-table order. The device-array is twice bigger and repeats the device-table twice so now each inode's device array can point to a random device and have a round-robin view of the table, making it compatible to previous exofs versions. * Each inode has an exofs_components struct that is initialized at load time, with it's own view of the device table IDs and creds. When doing IO this gets passed to the io_state together with the layout. While preforming this change. Bugs where found where credentials with the wrong IDs where used to access the different SB objects (super.c). As well as some dead code. It was never noticed because the target we use does not check the credentials. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

2011-08-07exofs: Add offset/length to exofs_get_io_stateBoaz Harrosh3-16/+38
In future raid code we will need to know the IO offset/length and if it's a read or write to determine some of the array sizes we'll need. So add a new exofs_get_rw_state() API for use when writeing/reading. All other simple cases are left using the old way. The major change to this is that now we need to call exofs_get_io_state later at inode.c::read_exec and inode.c::write_exec when we actually know these things. So this patch is kept separate so I can test things apart from other changes. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
2011-08-04exofs: Fix truncate for the raid-groups caseBoaz Harrosh1-20/+53
In the general raid-group case the truncate was wrong in that it did not also fix the object length of the neighboring groups. There are two bad cases in the old code: 1. Space that should be freed was not. 2. If a file That was big is truncated small, then made bigger again, the holes would not contain zeros but could expose old data.

2011-08-04exofs: BUG: Avoid sbi reallocBoaz Harrosh2-24/+30
Since the beginning we realloced the sbi structure when a bigger then one device table was specified. (I know that was really stupid). Then much later when "register bdi" was added (By Jens) it was registering the pointer to sbi->bdi before the realloc. We never saw this problem because up till now the realloc did not do anything since the device table was small enough to fit in the original allocation. But once we starting testing with large device tables (Bigger then 28) we noticed the crash of writeback operating on a deallocated pointer. * Avoid the all mess by allocating the device-table as a second array and get rid of the variable-sized structure and the rest of this mess. * Take the chance to clean near by structures and comments. * Add a needed dprint on startup to indicate the loaded layout. * Also move the bdi registration to the very end because it will only fail in a low memory, which will probably fail before hand. There are many more likely causes to not load before that. This way the error handling is made simpler.

2011-07-21fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlersJosef Bacik1-1/+9
Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2.

2011-03-15exofs: deprecate the commands pending counterBoaz Harrosh1-0/+4
One leftover from the days of IBM's original code, is an SB counter that counts in-flight asynchronous commands. And a piece of code that waits for the counter to reach zero at unmount. I guess it might have been needed then, cause of some reference missing or something. I'm not removing it yet but am putting a warning message if ever this counter triggers at unmount. If I'll never see it triggers or reported I'll remove the counter for good.

2011-03-15exofs: Write sbi->s_nextid as part of the Create commandBoaz Harrosh5-31/+141
Before when creating a new inode, we'd set the sb->s_dirt flag, and sometime later the system would write out s_nextid as part of the sb_info. Also on inode sync we would force the sb sync as well. Define the s_nextid as a new partition attribute and set it every time we create a new object. At mount we read it from it's new place. We now never set sb->s_dirt anywhere in exofs. write_super is actually never called. The call to exofs_write_super from exofs_put_super is also removed because the VFS always calls ->sync_fs before calling ->put_super twice. To stay backward-and-forward compatible we also write the old s_nextid in the super_block object at unmount, and support zero length attribute on mount. This also fixes a BUG where in layouts when group_width was not a divisor of EXOFS_SUPER_ID (0x10000) the s_nextid was not read from the device it was written to. Because of the sliding window layout trick, and because the read was always done from the 0 device but the write was done via the raid engine that might slide the device view. Now we read and write through the raid engine. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

2011-03-15exofs: simple fsync race fixNick Piggin2-6/+2
It is incorrect to test inode dirty bits without participating in the inode writeback protocol. Inode writeback sets I_SYNC and clears I_DIRTY_?, then writes out the particular bits, then clears I_SYNC when it is done. BTW. it may not completely write all pages out, so I_DIRTY_PAGES would get set again. This is a standard pattern used throughout the kernel's writeback caches (I_SYNC ~= I_WRITEBACK, if that makes it clearer). And so it is not possible to determine an inode's dirty status just by checking I_DIRTY bits. Especially not for the purpose of data integrity syncs. Missing the check for these bits means that fsync can complete while writeback to the inode is underway. Inode writeback functions get this right, so call into them rather than try to shortcut things by testing dirty state improperly.

2011-01-07fs: icache RCU free inodesNick Piggin1-1/+8
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow: - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must. - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking. - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the page lock to follow page->mapping. The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts kicking over, this increases to about 20%. In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller. The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking, so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I doubt it will be a problem. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

2010-10-25exofs: Remove inode->i_count manipulation in exofs_new_inodeBoaz Harrosh1-19/+9
exofs_new_inode() was incrementing the inode->i_count and decrementing it in create_done(), in a bad attempt to make sure the inode will still be there when the asynchronous create_done() finally arrives. This was very stupid because iput() was not called, and if it was actually needed, it would leak the inode. However all this is not needed, because at exofs_evict_inode() we already wait for create_done() by waiting for the object_created event. Therefore remove the superfluous ref counting and just Thicken the comment at exofs_evict_inode() a bit. While at it change places that open coded wait_obj_created() to call the already available wrapper.

2010-08-10exofs: New truncate sequenceBoaz Harrosh3-75/+42
These changes are crafted based on the similar conversion done to ext2 by Nick Piggin. * Remove the deprecated ->truncate vector. Let exofs_setattr take care of on-disk size updates. * Call truncate_pagecache on the unused pages if write_begin/end fails. * Cleanup exofs_delete_inode that did stupid inode writes and updates on an inode that will be removed. * And finally get rid of exofs_get_block. We never had any blocks it was all for calling nobh_truncate_page. nobh_truncate_page is not actually needed in exofs since the last page is complete and gone, just like all the other pages. There is no partial blocks in exofs. I've tested with this patch, and there are no apparent failures, so far.

2010-08-10remove inode_setattrChristoph Hellwig1-2/+12
Replace inode_setattr with opencoded variants of it in all callers. This moves the remaining call to vmtruncate into the filesystem methods where it can be replaced with the proper truncate sequence. In a few cases it was obvious that we would never end up calling vmtruncate so it was left out in the opencoded variant: spufs: explicitly checks for ATTR_SIZE earlier btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier ufs: contains an opencoded simple_seattr + truncate that sets the filesize just above In addition to that ncpfs called inode_setattr with handcrafted iattrs, which allowed to trim down the opencoded variant.
