61057c6bb3 [GFS2] Remove unused zero_readpage from stuffed_readpage
Stuffed files only consist of a maximum of
(gfs2 block size - sizeof(struct gfs2_dinode)) bytes. Since the
gfs2 block size is always less than page size, we will never see
a call to stuffed_readpage for anything other than the first page
in the file.

2ca99501fa [GFS2] Fix page lock/glock deadlock
This fixes a race between the glock and the page lock encountered
during truncate in gfs2_readpage and gfs2_prepare_write. The gfs2_readpages
function doesn't need the same fix since it only uses a try lock anyway, so
it will fail back to gfs2_readpage in the case of a potential deadlock.

This bug was spotted by Russell Cattelan.

48516ced21 [GFS2] Remove uneeded endian conversion
In many places GFS2 was calling the endian conversion routines
for an inode even when only a single field, or a few fields might
have changed. As a result we were copying lots of data needlessly.

This patch replaces those calls with conversion of just the
required fields in each case. This should be faster and easier
to understand. There are still other places which suffer from this
problem, but this is a start in the right direction.

7276b3b0c7 [GFS2] Tidy up meta_io code
Fix a bug in the directory reading code, where we might have dereferenced
a NULL pointer in case of OOM. Updated the directory code to use the new
& improved version of gfs2_meta_ra() which now returns the first block
that was being read. Previously it was releasing it requiring following
code to grab the block again at each point it was called.

Also turned off readahead on directory lookups since we are reading a
hash table, and therefore reading the entries in order is very
unlikely. Readahead is still used for all other calls to the
directory reading function (e.g. when growing the hash table).

Removed the DIO_START constant. Everywhere this was used, it was
used to unconditionally start i/o aside from a couple of places, so
I've removed it and made the couple of exceptions to this rule into
separate functions.

Also hunted through the other DIO flags and removed them as arguments
from functions which were always called with the same combination of
arguments.

Updated gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer to be a bit more efficient and
hopefully also be a bit easier to read.

7a6bbacbb8 [GFS2] Map multiple blocks at once where possible
This is a tidy up of the GFS2 bmap code. The main change is that the
bh is passed to gfs2_block_map allowing the flags to be set directly
rather than having to repeat that code several times in ops_address.c.

At the same time, the extent mapping code from gfs2_extent_map has
been moved into gfs2_block_map. This allows all calls to gfs2_block_map
to map extents in the case that no allocation is taking place. As a
result reads and non-allocating writes should be faster. A quick test
with postmark appears to support this.

There is a limit on the number of blocks mapped in a single bmap
call in that it will only ever map blocks which are pointed to
from a single pointer block. So in other words, it will never try
to do additional i/o in order to satisfy read-ahead. The maximum
number of blocks is thus somewhat less than 512 (the GFS2 4k block
size minus the header divided by sizeof(u64)). I've further limited
the mapping of "normal" blocks to 32 blocks (to avoid extra work)
since readpages() will currently read a maximum of 32 blocks ahead (128k).

Some further work will probably be needed to set a suitable value
for DIO as well, but for now thats left at the maximum 512 (see
ops_address.c:gfs2_get_block_direct).

There is probably a lot more that can be done to improve bmap for GFS2,
but this is a good first step.

e9fc2aa091 [GFS2] Update copyright, tidy up incore.h
As per comments from Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> this
updates the copyright message to say "version" in full rather than
"v.2". Also incore.h has been updated to remove forward structure
declarations which are not required.

The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added
to it. Also quota.c has been updated so that we now store the
lvb data locally in endian independant format to avoid needing
a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess
conversions are done as required at various points and thus the
conversion routines in lvb.[ch] are no longer required. I've
moved the one remaining constant in lvb.h thats used into lm.h
and removed the unused lvb.[ch].

I have not changed the HIF_ constants. That is left to a later patch
which I hope will unify the gh_flags and gh_iflags fields of the
struct gfs2_holder.

623d93555c [GFS2] Fix releasepage bug (fixes direct i/o writes)
This patch fixes three main bugs. Firstly the direct i/o get_block
was returning the wrong return code in certain cases. Secondly, the
GFS2's releasepage function was not dealing with cases when clean,
ordered buffers were found still queued on a transaction (which can
happen depending on the ordering of journal flushes). Thirdly, the
journaling code itself needed altering to take account of the
after effects of removing the clean ordered buffers from the transactions
before a journal flush.

The releasepage bug did also show up under "normal" buffered i/o
as well, so its not just a fix for direct i/o. In fact its not
normally used in the direct i/o path at all, except when flushing
existing buffers after performing a direct i/o write, but that was
the code path that led us to spot this.

4340fe6253 [GFS2] Add generation number
This adds a generation number for the eventual use of NFS to the
ondisk inode. Its backward compatible with the current code since
it doesn't really matter what the generation number is to start with,
and indeed since its set to zero, due to it being taken from padding
in both the inode and rgrp header, it should be fine.

The eventual plan is to use this rather than no_formal_ino in the
NFS filehandles. At that point no_formal_ino will be unused.

At the same time we also add a releasepages call back to the
"normal" address space for gfs2 inodes. Also I've removed a

feaa7bba02 [GFS2] Fix unlinked file handling
This patch fixes the way we have been dealing with unlinked,
but still open files. It removes all limits (other than memory
for inodes, as per every other filesystem) on numbers of these
which we can support on GFS2. It also means that (like other
fs) its the responsibility of the last process to close the file
to deallocate the storage, rather than the person who did the
unlinking. Note that with GFS2, those two events might take place
on different nodes.

Also there are a number of other changes:

 o We use the Linux inode subsystem as it was intended to be
used, wrt allocating GFS2 inodes
 o The Linux inode cache is now the point which we use for
local enforcement of only holding one copy of the inode in
core at once (previous to this we used the glock layer).
 o We no longer use the unlinked "special" file. We just ignore it
completely. This makes unlinking more efficient.
 o We now use the 4th block allocation state. The previously unused
state is used to track unlinked but still open inodes.
 o gfs2_inoded is no longer needed
 o Several fields are now no longer needed (and removed) from the in
core struct gfs2_inode
 o Several fields are no longer needed (and removed) from the in core
superblock

There are a number of future possible optimisations and clean ups
which have been made possible by this patch.

This adds readpages support (and also corrects a small bug in

set when we hit the end of a indirect pointer block. There is
always a boundary at this point with the current allocation code.

d1665e4142 [GFS2] Put back O_DIRECT support
This patch adds back O_DIRECT support with various caveats
attached:

 1. Journaled data can be read via O_DIRECT since its now the

 2. Journaled data writes with O_DIRECT will be failed sliently
    back to normal writes (should we really do this I wonder or
    should we return an error instead?)
 3. Stuffed files will be failed back to normal buffered I/O
 4. All the usual corner cases (write beyond current end of file,
    write to an unallocated block) will also revert to normal buffered I/O.

The I/O path is slightly odd as reads arrive at the page cache layer
with the lock for the file already held, but writes arrive unlocked.

18ec7d5c3f [GFS2] Make journaled data files identical to normal files on disk
This is a very large patch, with a few still to be resolved issues
so you might want to check out the previous head of the tree since
this is known to be unstable. Fixes for the various bugs will be
forthcoming shortly.

This patch removes the special data format which has been used
up till now for journaled data files. Directories still retain the
old format so that they will remain on disk compatible with earlier
releases. As a result you can now do the following with journaled
data files:

 1) mmap them
 2) export them over NFS
 3) convert to/from normal files whenever you want to (the zero length
    restriction is gone)

In addition the level at which GFS' locking is done has changed for all
files (since they all now use the page cache) such that the locking is
done at the page cache level rather than the level of the fs operations.
This should mean that things like loopback mounts and other things which
touch the page cache directly should now work.

Current known issues:

 1. There is a lock mode inversion problem related to the resource
    group hold function which needs to be resolved.
 2. Any significant amount of I/O causes an oops with an offset of hex 320
    (NULL pointer dereference) which appears to be related to a journaled data
    buffer appearing on a list where it shouldn't be.
 3. Direct I/O writes are disabled for the time being (will reappear later)
 4. There is probably a deadlock between the page lock and GFS' locks under
    certain combinations of mmap and fs operation I/O.
 5. Issue relating to ref counting on internally used inodes causes a hang
    on umount (discovered before this patch, and not fixed by it)
 6. One part of the directory metadata is different from GFS1 and will need
    to be resolved before next release.

257f9b4e97 [GFS2] Update truncate function (shrinking partial blocks)
Update the function in GFS2 which deals with truncation of
partial blocks. Some of the code is "borrowed" from ext3
since it appears to give a good model of how to do this
operation. The function is renamed gfs2_block_truncate_page
accordingly.
