2014-03-03GFS2: Clean up journal extent mappingSteven Whitehouse
This patch fixes a long standing issue in mapping the journal extents. Most journals will consist of only a single extent, and although the cache took account of that by merging extents, it did not actually map large extents, but instead was doing a block by block mapping. Since the journal was only being mapped on mount, this was not normally noticeable. With the updated code, it is now possible to use the same extent mapping system during journal recovery (which will be added in a later patch). This will allow checking of the integrity of the journal before any reply of the journal content is attempted. For this reason the code is moving to bmap.c, since it will be used more widely in due course. An exercise left for the reader is to compare the new function gfs2_map_journal_extents() with gfs2_write_alloc_required() Additionally, should there be a failure, the error reporting is also updated to show more detail about what went wrong.

2010-09-20GFS2: New truncate sequenceSteven Whitehouse
This updates GFS2's truncate code to use the new truncate sequence correctly. This is a stepping stone to being able to remove ip->i_disksize in favour of using i_size everywhere now that the two sizes are always identical.

2010-07-29GFS2: Simplify gfs2_write_alloc_requiredBob Peterson
Function gfs2_write_alloc_required always returned zero as its return code. Therefore, it doesn't need to return a return code at all. Given that, we can use the return value to return whether or not the dinode needs block allocations rather than passing that value in, which in turn simplifies a bunch of error checking.

2009-01-05GFS2: Streamline alloc calculations for writesSteven Whitehouse
This patch removes some unused code, and make the calculation of the number of blocks required conditional in order to reduce the number of times this (potentially expensive) calculation is done. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-01-25[GFS2] Remove function gfs2_get_blockBob Peterson
This patch is just a cleanup. Function gfs2_get_block() just calls function gfs2_block_map reversing the last two parameters. By reversing the parameters, gfs2_block_map() may be called directly and function gfs2_get_block may be eliminated altogether. Since this function is done for every block operation, this streamlines the code and makes it a little bit more efficient.

2006-10-20[GFS2] Fix bmap to map extents properlySteven Whitehouse
This fix means that bmap will map extents of the length requested by the VFS rather than guessing at it, or just mapping one block at a time. The other callers of gfs2_block_map are audited to ensure they send the correct max extent lengths (i.e. set bh->b_size correctly). Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-09-18[GFS2] Map multiple blocks at once where possibleSteven Whitehouse
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. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-09-05[GFS2] Make headers compile on their ownSteven Whitehouse
As per Jan Engelhardt's comments, this should make all the headers compile on their own by including and/or declaring structures early. Cc: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2006-09-01[GFS2] Update copyright, tidy up incore.hSteven Whitehouse
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.

2006-07-26[GFS2] Tidy gfs2_unstuffer_pageSteven Whitehouse
Tidy up gfs2_unstuffer_page by: a) Moving it into bmap.c b) Making it static c) Calling it directly from gfs2_unstuff_dinode d) Updating all callers of gfs2_unstuff_dinode due to one less required argument. It doesn't change the behaviour at all. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2006-05-05[GFS2] Readpages supportSteven Whitehouse
This adds readpages support (and also corrects a small bug in the readpage error path at the same time). Hopefully this will improve performance by allowing GFS to submit larger lumps of I/O at a time. In order to simplify the setting of BH_Boundary, it currently gets set when we hit the end of a indirect pointer block. There is always a boundary at this point with the current allocation code. It doesn't get all the boundaries right though, so there is still room for improvement in this. See comments in fs/gfs2/ops_address.c for further information about readpages with GFS2.
