Hi all, This patch series add inode steal mechanism for inode allocation. Modification from V1 to V2: 1. Add a new member in ocfs2_super which will record the slot we steal the inode successfully. This will speed up the next steal. 2. Modify the mechanism of inode stealing. Now we will start our search from the node next to it. 3. Remove the last and extra inode allocation in the local slot since there is no evidence that we will have our global bitmap be emptied enough in the time it takes us to search the other allocators. In OCFS2, we allocate the inodes from slot specific inode_alloc to avoid inode creation congestion. The local alloc file grows in a large contiguous chunk. As for a 4K bs, it grows 4M every time. So 1024 inodes will be allocated at a time. Over time, if the fs gets fragmented enough(e.g, the user has created many small files and also delete some of them), we can end up in a situation, whereby we cannot extend the inode_alloc as we don't have a large chunk free in the global_bitmap even if df shows few gigs free. More annoying is that this situation will invariably mean that while one cannot create inodes on one node but can from another node. Still more annoying is that an unused slot may have space for plenty of inodes but is unusable as the user may not be mounting as many nodes anymore. This patch series implement a solution which is to steal inodes from another slot. Now the whole inode allocation process looks like this: 1. Allocate from its own inode_alloc:000X 1) If we can reserve, OK. 2) If fails, try to allocate a large chunk and reserve once again. 2. If 1 fails, try to allocate from the ocfs2_super->inode_steal_slot. This time, Just try to reserve, we don't go for global_bitmap if this inode also can't allocate the inode. 3. If 2 fails, try the node next until we reach that steal slot again. ocfs2_super->inode_steal_slot is initalized as the node next to our own slot. And once the inode stealing successes, we will refresh it with the slot we steal inode from. It will also be reinitalized when the local truncate log or local alloc recovery is flushed in which case the global bitmap may be refreshed.

[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 1/3] Add a new parameter for ocfs2_reserve_suballoc_bits.V2
In some cases(Inode stealing from other nodes), we may not want ocfs2_reserve_suballoc_bits to allocate new groups from the global_bitmap since it may already be full. So add a new parameter for this.

[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 2/3] Add ac_alloc_slot in ocfs2_alloc_context.V2
In inode stealing, we no longer restrict the allocation to happen in the local node. So it is neccessary for us to add a new member in ocfs2_alloc_context to indicate which slot we are using for allocation. We also modify the process of local alloc so that this member can be used there also.
