gfs2: No longer use 'extern' in function declarations

2023-11-06T00:51:26+00:00

For non-static function declarations, external linkage is implied and
the 'extern' keyword isn't needed.  Some static checkers complain about
the overuse of 'extern', so clean up all the function declarations.

In addition, remove 'extern' from the definition of
free_local_statfs_inodes(); it isn't needed there, either.

fs/gfs2: Use the enum req_op and blk_opf_t types

2022-07-14T18:14:32+00:00

Improve static type checking by using the enum req_op type for variables
that represent a request operation and the new blk_opf_t type for
variables that represent request flags. Combine the first two
gfs2_submit_bhs() arguments into a single argument.

gfs2: Clean up revokes on normal withdraws

2021-05-20T11:31:37+00:00

Before this patch, the system ail lists were cleaned up if the logd
process withdrew, but on other withdraws, they were not cleaned up.
This included the cleaning up of the revokes as well.

This patch reorganizes things a bit so that all withdraws (not just logd)
clean up the ail lists, including any pending revokes.

gfs2: Per-revoke accounting in transactions

2021-02-22T20:16:23+00:00

In the log, revokes are stored as a revoke descriptor (struct
gfs2_log_descriptor), followed by zero or more additional revoke blocks
(struct gfs2_meta_header).  On filesystems with a blocksize of 4k, the
revoke descriptor contains up to 503 revokes, and the metadata blocks
contain up to 509 revokes each.  We've so far been reserving space for
revokes in transactions in block granularity, so a lot more space than
necessary was being allocated and then released again.

This patch switches to assigning revokes to transactions individually
instead.  Initially, space for the revoke descriptor is reserved and
handed out to transactions.  When more revokes than that are reserved,
additional revoke blocks are added.  When the log is flushed, the space
for the additional revoke blocks is released, but we keep the space for
the revoke descriptor block allocated.

Transactions may still reserve more revokes than they will actually need
in the end, but now we won't overshoot the target as much, and by only
returning the space for excess revokes at log flush time, we further
reduce the amount of contention between processes.

gfs2: Rework the log space allocation logic

2021-02-22T20:16:22+00:00

The current log space allocation logic is hard to understand or extend.
The principle it that when the log is flushed, we may or may not have a
transaction active that has space allocated in the log.  To deal with
that, we set aside a magical number of blocks to be used in case we
don't have an active transaction.  It isn't clear that the pool will
always be big enough.  In addition, we can't return unused log space at
the end of a transaction, so the number of blocks allocated must exactly
match the number of blocks used.

Simplify this as follows:
 * When transactions are allocated or merged, always reserve enough
   blocks to flush the transaction (err on the safe side).
 * In gfs2_log_flush, return any allocated blocks that haven't been used.
 * Maintain a pool of spare blocks big enough to do one log flush, as
   before.
 * In gfs2_log_flush, when we have no active transaction, allocate a
   suitable number of blocks.  For that, use the spare pool when
   called from logd, and leave the pool alone otherwise.  This means
   that when the log is almost full, logd will still be able to do one
   more log flush, which will result in more log space becoming
   available.

This will make the log space allocator code easier to work with in
the future.

gfs2: Get rid of current_tail()

2021-02-03T17:37:25+00:00

Keep the current value of the updated log tail in the super block as
sb_log_flush_tail instead of computing it on the fly.  This avoids
unnecessary sd_ail_lock taking and cleans up the code.

gfs2: Move lock flush locking to gfs2_trans_{begin,end}

2021-02-03T17:37:24+00:00

Move the read locking of sd_log_flush_lock from gfs2_log_reserve to
gfs2_trans_begin, and its unlocking from gfs2_log_release to
gfs2_trans_end.  Use gfs2_log_release in two places in which it was open
coded before.

gfs2: Get rid of sd_reserving_log

2021-02-03T17:37:24+00:00

This counter and the associated wait queue are only used so that
gfs2_make_fs_ro can efficiently wait for all pending log space
allocations to fail after setting the filesystem to read-only.  This
comes at the cost of waking up that wait queue very frequently.

Instead, when gfs2_log_reserve fails because the filesystem has become
read-only, Wake up sd_log_waitq.  In gfs2_make_fs_ro, set the file
system read-only and then wait until all the log space has been
released.  Give up and report the problem after a while.  With that,
sd_reserving_log and sd_reserving_log_wait can be removed.

gfs2: Rename gfs2_{write => flush}_revokes

2021-01-19T20:17:49+00:00

Function gfs2_write_revokes doesn't actually write any revokes; instead, it
adds revokes to the system transaction during a flush.

gfs2: Wipe jdata and ail1 in gfs2_journal_wipe, formerly gfs2_meta_wipe

2020-10-15T12:29:03+00:00

Before this patch, when blocks were freed, it called gfs2_meta_wipe to
take the metadata out of the pending journal blocks. It did this mostly
by calling another function called gfs2_remove_from_journal. This is
shortsighted because it does not do anything with jdata blocks which
may also be in the journal.

This patch expands the function so that it wipes out jdata blocks from
the journal as well, and it wipes it from the ail1 list if it hasn't
been written back yet. Since it now processes jdata blocks as well,
the function has been renamed from gfs2_meta_wipe to gfs2_journal_wipe.

New function gfs2_ail1_wipe wants a static view of the ail list, so it
locks the sd_ail_lock when removing items. To accomplish this, function
gfs2_remove_from_journal no longer locks the sd_ail_lock, and it's now
the caller's responsibility to do so.

I was going to make sd_ail_lock locking conditional, but the practice is
generally frowned upon. For details, see: https://lwn.net/Articles/109066/
