ocfs2: remove OCFS2_IOCB_SEM lock type in direct io

2015-06-25T00:49:39+00:00

In ocfs2 direct read/write, OCFS2_IOCB_SEM lock type is used to protect
inode->i_alloc_sem rw semaphore lock in the earlier kernel version.
However, in the latest kernel, inode->i_alloc_sem rw semaphore lock is not
used at all, so OCFS2_IOCB_SEM lock type needs to be removed.

fs: move struct kiocb to fs.h

2015-03-26T00:28:11+00:00

struct kiocb now is a generic I/O container, so move it to fs.h.
Also do a #include diet for aio.h while we're at it.

ocfs2: change ip_unaligned_aio to of type mutex from atomit_t

2014-04-03T23:20:53+00:00

There is a problem that waitqueue_active() may check stale data thus miss
a wakeup of threads waiting on ip_unaligned_aio.

The valid value of ip_unaligned_aio is only 0 and 1 so we can change it to
be of type mutex thus the above prolem is avoid.  Another benifit is that
mutex which works as FIFO is fairer than wake_up_all().

aio: don't include aio.h in sched.h

Faster kernel compiles by way of fewer unnecessary includes.

ocfs2: serialize unaligned aio

2011-07-28T09:07:16+00:00

Fix a corruption that can happen when we have (two or more) outstanding
aio's to an overlapping unaligned region.  Ext4
(e9e3bcecf44c04b9e6b505fd8e2eb9cea58fb94d) and xfs recently had to fix
similar issues.

In our case what happens is that we can have an outstanding aio on a region
and if a write comes in with some bytes overlapping the original aio we may
decide to read that region into a page before continuing (typically because
of buffered-io fallback).  Since we have no ordering guarantees with the
aio, we can read stale or bad data into the page and then write it back out.

If the i/o is page and block aligned, then we avoid this issue as there
won't be any need to read data from disk.

I took the same approach as Eric in the ext4 patch and introduced some
serialization of unaligned async direct i/o.  I don't expect this to have an
effect on the most common cases of AIO.  Unaligned aio will be slower
though, but that's far more acceptable than data corruption.

Ocfs2: Teach 'coherency=full' O_DIRECT writes to correctly up_read i_alloc_sem.

2010-12-09T23:36:48+00:00

Due to newly-introduced 'coherency=full' O_DIRECT writes also takes the EX
rw_lock like buffered writes did(rw_level == 1), it turns out messing the
usage of 'level' in ocfs2_dio_end_io() up, which caused i_alloc_sem being
failed to get up_read'd correctly.

This patch tries to teach ocfs2_dio_end_io to understand well on all locking
stuffs by explicitly introducing a new bit for i_alloc_sem in iocb's private
data, just like what we did for rw_lock.

ocfs2: pass struct file* to ocfs2_write_begin_nolock.

2010-08-12T02:39:48+00:00

struct file * has file_ra_state to store the readahead state
and data. So pass this to ocfs2_write_begin_nolock so that
it can be used in ocfs2_refcount_cow.

ocfs2: Add CoW support.

2009-09-23T03:09:36+00:00

This patch try CoW support for a refcounted record.

the whole process will be:
1. Calculate how many clusters we need to CoW and where we start.
   Extents that are not completely encompassed by the write will
   be broken on 1MB boundaries.
2. Do CoW for the clusters with the help of page cache.
3. Change the b-tree structure with the new allocated clusters.
