GFS2: Introduce new gfs2_log_header_v2

2018-01-23T14:38:53+00:00

This patch adds a new structure called gfs2_log_header_v2 which is used
to store expanded fields into previously unused areas of the log headers
(i.e., this change is backwards compatible).  Some of these are used for
debug purposes so we can backtrack when problems occur.  Others are
reserved for future expansion.

This patch is based on a prototype from Steve Whitehouse.

gfs2: use bio op accessors

2016-06-07T19:41:38+00:00

Separate the op from the rq_flag_bits and have gfs2
set/get the bio using bio_set_op_attrs/bio_op.

GFS2: Move log buffer lists into transaction

2014-02-24T16:54:54+00:00

Over time, we hope to be able to improve the concurrency available
in the log code. This is one small step towards that, by moving
the buffer lists from the super block, and into the transaction
structure, so that each transaction builds its own buffer lists.

At transaction commit time, the buffer lists are merged into
the currently accumulating transaction. That transaction then
is passed into the before and after commit functions at journal
flush time. Thus there should be no change in overall behaviour
yet.

GFS2: Eliminate gfs2_rg_lops

2013-06-05T08:50:40+00:00

With recent changes to the transactions, it appears that we
are no longer using the "log ops" for resource groups. Since the
log commit code processes the array of log ops, eliminating this
should be marginally better for performance. Therefore this patch
eliminates it.

GFS2: replace gfs2_ail structure with gfs2_trans

2013-04-08T07:46:22+00:00

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.

GFS2: Merge gfs2_attach_bufdata() into trans.c

2013-01-29T10:28:44+00:00

The locking in gfs2_attach_bufdata() was type specific (data/meta)
which made the function rather confusing. This patch moves the core
of gfs2_attach_bufdata() into trans.c renaming it gfs2_alloc_bufdata()
and moving the locking into gfs2_trans_add_data()/gfs2_trans_add_meta()

As a result all of the locking related to adding data and metadata to
the journal is now in these two functions. This should help to clarify
what is going on, and give us some opportunities to simplify in
some cases.

GFS2: Copy gfs2_trans_add_bh into new data/meta functions

2013-01-29T10:28:28+00:00

This patch copies the body of gfs2_trans_add_bh into the two newly
added gfs2_trans_add_data and gfs2_trans_add_meta functions. We can
then move the .lo_add functions from lops.c into trans.c and call
them directly.

As a result of this, we no longer need to use the .lo_add functions
at all, so that is removed from the log operations structure.

GFS2: eliminate log elements and simplify

2012-05-02T08:14:36+00:00

This patch eliminates the gfs2_log_element data structure and
rolls its two components into the gfs2_bufdata. This makes the code
easier to understand and makes it easier to migrate to a rbtree
to keep the list sorted.

GFS2: Clean up log write code path

2012-04-24T15:44:34+00:00

Prior to this patch, we have two ways of sending i/o to the log.
One of those is used when we need to allocate both the data
to be written itself and also a buffer head to submit it. This
is done via sb_getblk and friends. This is used mostly for writing
log headers.

The other method is used when writing blocks which have some
in-place counterpart. This is the case for all the metadata
blocks which are journalled, and when journaled data is in use,
for unescaped journalled data blocks.

This patch replaces both of those two methods, and about half
a dozen separate i/o submission points with a single i/o
submission function. We also go direct to bio rather than
using buffer heads, since this allows us to build i/o
requests of the maximum size for the block device in
question. It also reduces the memory required for flushing
the log, which can be very useful in low memory situations.

[GFS2] Only do lo_incore_commit once

2008-03-31T09:39:54+00:00

This patch is performance related.  When we're doing a log flush,
I noticed we were calling buf_lo_incore_commit twice: once for
data bufs and once for metadata bufs.  Since this is the same
function and does the same thing in both cases, there should be
no reason to call it twice.  Since we only need to call it once,
we can also make it faster by removing it from the generic "lops"
code and making it a stand-along static function.
