Steven Whitehouse 774016b2d4 GFS2: journal data writepages update
GFS2 has carried what is more or less a copy of the
write_cache_pages() for some time. It seems that this
copy has slipped behind the core code over time. This
patch brings it back uptodate, and in addition adds the
tracepoint which would otherwise be missing.

We could go further, and eliminate some or all of the
code duplication here. The issue is that if we do that,
then the function we need to split out from the existing
write_cache_pages(), which will look a lot like
gfs2_jdata_write_pagevec(), would land up putting quite a
lot of extra variables on the stack. I know that has been
a problem in the past in the writeback code path, which
is why I've hesitated to do it here.

Steven Whitehouse 086352f1aa GFS2: No need to invalidate pages for a dio read
We recently fixed the writeback of pages prior to performing
direct i/o, however the initial fix was perhaps a bit heavy
handed. There is no need to invalidate pages if the direct i/o
is only a read, since they will be identical to what has been
flushed to disk anyway.

Steven Whitehouse e4f2920625 GFS2: Clean up releasepage
For historical reasons, we drop and retake the log lock in ->releasepage()
however, since there is no reason why we cannot hold the log lock over
the whole function, this allows some simplification. In particular,
pinning a buffer is only ever done under the log lock, so it is possible
here to remove the test for pinned buffers in the second loop, since it
is impossible for that to happen (it is also tested in the first loop).

As a result, two tests made later in the second loop become constants
and can also be reduced to the only possible branch. So the net result
is to remove various bits of unreachable code and make this more
readable.

Steven Whitehouse dfd11184d8 GFS2: Fix incorrect invalidation for DIO/buffered I/O
In patch 209806aba9 we allowed
local deferred locks to be granted against a cached exclusive
lock. That opened up a corner case which this patch now
fixes.

The solution to the problem is to check whether we have cached
pages each time we do direct I/O and if so to unmap, flush
and invalidate those pages. Since the glock state machine
normally does that for us, mostly the code will be a no-op.

Steven Whitehouse 7b9cff4671 GFS2: Add allocation parameters structure
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.

Benjamin Marzinski 0c9018097f GFS2: dirty inode correctly in gfs2_write_end
GFS2 was only setting I_DIRTY_DATASYNC on files that it wrote to, when
it actually increased the file size.  If gfs2_fsync was called without
I_DIRTY_DATASYNC set, it didn't flush the incore data to the log before
returning, so any metadata or journaled data changes were not getting
fsynced. This meant that writes to the middle of files were not always
getting fsynced properly.

This patch makes gfs2 set I_DIRTY_DATASYNC whenever metadata has been
updated during a write. It also make gfs2_sync flush the incore log
if I_DIRTY_PAGES is set, and the file is using data journalling. This
will make sure that all incore logged data gets written to disk before
returning from a fsync.

Lukas Czerner d47992f86b mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept length
Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
up to the certain point.

Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
page).

This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation
prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances
for it.

We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually
make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.

Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems
where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour
in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able
to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

Benjamin Marzinski 16ca9412d8 GFS2: replace gfs2_ail structure with gfs2_trans
In order to allow transactions and log flushes to happen at the same
time, gfs2 needs to move the transaction accounting and active items
list code into the gfs2_trans structure.  As a first step toward this,
this patch removes the gfs2_ail structure, and handles the active items
list in the gfs_trans structure.  This keeps gfs2 from allocating an ail
structure on log flushes, and gives us a struture that can later be used
to store the transaction accounting outside of the gfs2 superblock
structure.

With this patch, at the end of a transaction, gfs2 will add the
gfs2_trans structure to the superblock if there is not one already.
This structure now has the active items fields that were previously in
gfs2_ail.  This is not necessary in the case where the transaction was
simply used to add revokes, since these are never written outside of the
journal, and thus, don't need an active items list.

Also, in order to make sure that the transaction structure is not
removed while it's still in use by gfs2_trans_end, unlocking the
sd_log_flush_lock has to happen slightly later in ending the
transaction.

Steven Whitehouse 4513899092 GFS2: Use ->writepages for ordered writes
Instead of using a list of buffers to write ahead of the journal
flush, this now uses a list of inodes and calls ->writepages
via filemap_fdatawrite() in order to achieve the same thing. For
most use cases this results in a shorter ordered write list,
as well as much larger i/os being issued.

The ordered write list is sorted by inode number before writing
in order to retain the disk block ordering between inodes as
per the previous code.

The previous ordered write code used to conflict in its assumptions
about how to write out the disk blocks with mpage_writepages()
so that with this updated version we can also use mpage_writepages()
for GFS2's ordered write, writepages implementation. So we will
also send larger i/os from writeback too.

Steven Whitehouse 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.

Steven Whitehouse 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.

Bob Peterson 0a305e4960 GFS2: Extend the life of the reservations
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
occurs, and deallocated when the last process closes the file.
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
multi-block reservations.

Bob Peterson ca9248d833 GFS2: Allow caching of rindex glock
This patch allows caching of the rindex glock. We were previously
setting the GL_NOCACHE bit when the glock was released. That forced
the rindex inode to be invalidated, which caused us to re-read

unnecessarily bounced around the cluster. This patch allows
the glock to remain cached, but it still causes the rindex to be
re-read once it has been written to by gfs2_grow.

Steven Whitehouse 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.

Steven Whitehouse 380f7c65a7 GFS2: Resolve inode eviction and ail list interaction bug
This patch contains a few misc fixes which resolve a recently
reported issue. This patch has been a real team effort and has
received a lot of testing.

The first issue is that the ail lock needs to be held over a few
more operations. The lock thats added into gfs2_releasepage() may
possibly be a candidate for replacing with RCU at some future
point, but at this stage we've gone for the obvious fix.

The second issue is that gfs2_write_inode() can end up calling
a glock recursively when called from gfs2_evict_inode() via the
syncing code, so it needs a guard added.

The third issue is that we either need to not truncate the metadata
pages of inodes which have zero link count, but which we cannot
deallocate due to them still being in use by other nodes, or we need
to ensure that those pages have all made it through the journal and
ail lists first. This patch takes the former approach, but the
latter has also been tested and there is nothing to choose between
them performance-wise. So again, we could revise that decision
in the future.

Also, the inode eviction process is now better documented.

Benjamin Marzinski 3921120e75 GFS2: fallocate support
This patch adds support for fallocate to gfs2.  Since the gfs2 does not support
uninitialized data blocks, it must write out zeros to all the blocks.  However,
since it does not need to lock any pages to read from, gfs2 can write out the
zero blocks much more efficiently.  On a moderately full filesystem, fallocate
works around 5 times faster on average.  The fallocate call also allows gfs2 to
add blocks to the file without changing the filesize, which will make it
possible for gfs2 to preallocate space for the rindex file, so that gfs2 can
grow a completely full filesystem.

sequence correctly. This is a stepping stone to being
able to remove ip->i_disksize in favour of using i_size
everywhere now that the two sizes are always identical.

Christoph Hellwig 2c27c65ed0 check ATTR_SIZE contraints in inode_change_ok
Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in ->setattr by adding
those checks to inode_change_ok.  Also clean up and document inode_change_ok
to make this obvious.

As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and
simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error.  This
simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize
almost everywhere.  Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark
ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious.

Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an
audit for its removal anyway.

Note: setattr code in ecryptfs doesn't call inode_change_ok at all and
needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.

Christoph Hellwig eafdc7d190 sort out blockdev_direct_IO variants
Move the call to vmtruncate to get rid of accessive blocks to the callers
in prepearation of the new truncate calling sequence.  This was only done
for DIO_LOCKING filesystems, so the __blockdev_direct_IO_newtrunc variant
was not needed anyway.  Get rid of blockdev_direct_IO_no_locking and
its _newtrunc variant while at it as just opencoding the two additional
paramters is shorted than the name suffix.

Bob Peterson 461cb419f0 GFS2: Simplify gfs2_write_alloc_required
Function gfs2_write_alloc_required always returned zero as its
return code.  Therefore, it doesn't need to return a return code
at all.  Given that, we can use the return value to return whether
or not the dinode needs block allocations rather than passing
that value in, which in turn simplifies a bunch of error checking.

npiggin@suse.de 15c6fd9786 kill spurious reference to vmtruncate

->truncate method.  Switch them to use simple_setsize and add some

Steven Whitehouse 602c89d2e3 GFS2: Clean up stuffed file copying
If the inode size was corrupt for stuffed files, it was possible
for the copying of data to overrun the block and/or page. This patch
checks for that condition so that this is no longer possible.

This is also preparation for the new truncate sequence patch which
requires the ability to have stuffed files with larger sizes than
(disk block size - sizeof(on disk inode)) with the restriction that
only the initial part of the file may be non-zero.

Steven Whitehouse 009d851837 GFS2: Metadata address space clean up
Since the start of GFS2, an "extra" inode has been used to store
the metadata belonging to each inode. The only reason for using
this inode was to have an extra address space, the other fields
were unused. This means that the memory usage was rather inefficient.

The reason for keeping each inode's metadata in a separate address
space is that when glocks are requested on remote nodes, we need to
be able to efficiently locate the data and metadata which relating
to that glock (inode) in order to sync or sync and invalidate it
(depending on the remotely requested lock mode).

This patch adds a new type of glock, which has in addition to
its normal fields, has an address space. This applies to all
inode and rgrp glocks (but to no other glock types which remain
as before). As a result, we no longer need to have the second
inode.

This results in three major improvements:
 1. A saving of approx 25% of memory used in caching inodes
 2. A removal of the circular dependency between inodes and glocks
 3. No confusion between "normal" and "metadata" inodes in super.c

Although the first of these is the more immediately apparent, the
second is just as important as it now enables a number of clean
ups at umount time. Those will be the subject of future patches.

Benjamin Marzinski 9ae3c6de69 GFS2: drop rindex glock to refresh rindex list
When a gfs2 filesystem is grown, it needs to rebuild the rindex list to be able
to use the new space.  gfs2 does this when the rindex is marked not uptodate,
which happens when the rindex glock is dropped.  However, on a single node
setup, there is never any reason to drop the rindex glock, so gfs2 never
invalidates the the rindex. This patch makes gfs2 automatically drop the
rindex glock after filesystem grows, so it can refresh the rindex list.

Andi Kleen aa261f549d HWPOISON: Enable .remove_error_page for migration aware file systems
Enable removing of corrupted pages through truncation
for a bunch of file systems: ext*, xfs, gfs2, ocfs2, ntfs
These should cover most server needs.

I chose the set of migration aware file systems for this
for now, assuming they have been especially audited.
But in general it should be safe for all file systems
on the data area that support read/write and truncate.

Caveat: the hardware error handler does not take i_mutex
for now before calling the truncate function. Is that ok?
