f6eb53498e GFS2: Remove args subdir from gfs2 sysfs files
Since we can cat /proc/mounts there is no need to have this
subdirectory in the gfs2 sysfs files. In fact this does not
reflect the full range of possible mount argumenmts, where
as /proc/mounts does.

There was only one userland user of this set of sysfs files
and it will function perfectly well without these files
being present (in fact that subcommand of gfs2_tool is
obsolete anyway).

The tune/* subdirectory is also considered mostly obsolete,
but there are a few uses of this until mount arguments can
be added for the last few functions for which there are no
equivalents currently. However the tune/* directory is still
in my sights and new code should avoid using it. Only the gfs2_quota
and gfs2_tool programs are know to use tune/* at the moment.

e1defc4ff0 block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_size
Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case.  The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes.  Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.

This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

1ce97e564b GFS2: Be more aggressive in reclaiming unlinked inodes
This patch increases the frequency with which gfs2 looks
for unlinked, but still allocated inodes. Its the equivalent
operation to ext3's orphan list, but done with bitmaps in
the resource groups.

This also fixes a bug where a field in the rgrp was too small.

60a0b8f936 GFS2: Add a rgrp bitmap full flag
During block allocation, it is useful to know if sections of disk
are full on a finer grained basis than a single resource group.
This can make a performance difference when resource groups have
larger numbers of bitmap blocks, since we no longer have to search
them all block by block in each individual bitmap.

The full flag is set on a per-bitmap basis when it has been
searched and found to have no free space. It is then skipped in
subsequent searches until the flag is reset. The resetting
occurs if we have to drop the glock on the resource group for any
reason, or if we deallocate some blocks within that resource
group and thus free up some space.

0901097834 GFS2: Improve resource group error handling
This patch improves the error handling in the case where we
discover that the summary information in the resource group
doesn't match the bitmap information while in the process of
allocating blocks. Originally this resulted in a kernel bug,
but this patch changes that so that we return -EIO and print
some messages explaining what went wrong, and how to fix it.

We also remember locally not to try and allocate from the
same rgrp again, so that a subsequent allocation in a
different rgrp should succeed.

fe64d517df GFS2: Umount recovery race fix
This patch fixes a race condition where we can receive recovery
requests part way through processing a umount. This was causing
problems since the recovery thread had already gone away.

Looking in more detail at the recovery code, it was really trying
to implement a slight variation on a work queue, and that happens to
align nicely with the recently introduced slow-work subsystem. As a
result I've updated the code to use slow-work, rather than its own home
grown variety of work queue.

When using the wait_on_bit() function, I noticed that the wait function
that was supplied as an argument was appearing in the WCHAN field, so
I've updated the function names in order to produce more meaningful
output.

48bf2b1711 GFS2: Something nonlinear this way comes!
For some reason GFS2 has been missing support for non-linear
mappings. This patch fixes that, and also avoids taking any
locks for mmap in the O_NOATIME case. In fact we don't actually need
to take the lock here at all - just doing file_accessed() would be
enough, but we have to take the lock eventually and this helps
it hit disk (and thus be seen by other nodes) faster.

4a0f9a321a GFS2: Optimise writepage for metadata
This adds a GFS2 specific writepage for metadata, rather than
continuing to use the VFS function. As a result we now tag all
our metadata I/O with the correct flag so that blktraces will
now be less confusing.

Also, the generic function was checking for a number of corner
cases which cannot happen on the metadata address spaces so that
this should be faster too.

et al. this is a patch to bring gfs2 uptodate with the core
code. Also I've managed to squash another call to ll_rw_block()
along the way.

There is still one part of the GFS2 I/O paths which are not correctly
annotated and that is due to the sharing of the writeback code between
the data and metadata address spaces. I would like to change that too,
but this patch is still worth doing on its own, I think.

d9ba7615bf GFS2: Ensure that the inode goal block settings are updated
GFS2 has a goal block associated with each inode indicating the
search start position for future block allocations (in fact there
are two, but thats for backward compatibility with GFS1 as they
are set to identical locations in GFS2).

In some circumstances, depending on the ordering of updates to
the inode it was possible for the goal block settings to not
be updated on disk. This patch ensures that the goal block will
always get updated, thus reducing the potential for searching
the same (already allocated) blocks again when looking for free
space during block allocation.

c2ec175c39 mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault
Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
VM_FAULT_xxx flags.  There should be no functional change.

This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to
the VM (and also can provide more information eg.  virtual_address to the
driver, which might be important in some special cases).

This is required for a subsequent fix.  And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

6bac243f07 GFS2: Clean up of glops.c
This cleans up a number of bits of code mostly based in glops.c.
A couple of simple functions have been merged into the callers
to make it more obvious what is going on, the mysterious raising
of i_writecount around the truncate_inode_pages() call has been
removed. The meta_go_* operations have been renamed rgrp_go_*
since that is the only lock type that they are used with.

The unused argument of gfs2_read_sb has been removed. Also
a bug has been fixed where a check for the rindex inode was
in the wrong callback. More comments are added, and the
debugging code is improved too.

02ffad08e8 GFS2: Fix locking bug in failed shared to exclusive conversion
After calling out to the dlm, GFS2 sets the new state of a glock to
gl_target in gdlm_ast().  However, gl_target is not always the lock
state that was requested. If a conversion from shared to exclusive
fails, finish_xmote() will call do_xmote() with LM_ST_UNLOCKED, instead
of gl->gl_target, so that it can reacquire the lock in exlusive the next
time around.  In this case, setting the lock to gl_target in gdlm_ast()
will make GFS2 think that it has the glock in exclusive mode, when
really, it doesn't have the glock locked at all.  This patch adds a new
field to the gfs2_glock structure, gl_req, to track the mode that was
requested.

229615def3 GFS2: Pagecache usage optimization on GFS2
I introduced "is_partially_uptodate" aops for GFS2.

A page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate, some buffers
can be uptodate on pagesize != blocksize environment.
This aops checks that all buffers which correspond to a part of a file
that we want to read are uptodate. If so, we do not have to issue actual
read IO to HDD even if a page is not uptodate because the portion we
want to read are uptodate.
"block_is_partially_uptodate" function is already used by ext2/3/4.
With the following patch random read/write mixed workloads or random read after
random write workloads can be optimized and we can get performance improvement.

I did a performance test using the sysbench.
