In ocfs2_file_aio_write, it does ocfs2_rw_lock first and then ocfs2_inode_lock. But if ocfs2_inode_lock failed, it goes to out_sems without unlocking rw lock. This will cause a bug in ocfs2_lock_res_free when testing res->l_ex_holders, which is increased in __ocfs2_cluster_lock and decreased in __ocfs2_cluster_unlock.

Currently, default behavior of O_DIRECT writes was allowing concurrent writing among nodes, no cluster coherency guaranteed (no EX locks was taken), it hurts buffered reads on other nodes by reading stale data from cache. The new mount option introduce a chance to choose two different behaviors for O_DIRECT writes: * coherency=full, as the default value, will disallow concurrent

Hi, the first four patches in this series fix locking problems in OCFS2 quota code (three of them can lead to potential deadlocks). The fifth patch reorders ip_alloc_sem for directories to be acquired before localalloc locks. Mark would you please merge these? The last two patches implement lockdep annotations for OCFS2 cluster locks. We annotate all the cluster locks except for special ones

i_alloc_sem has always been a bit of an odd "lock". It''s the only remaining rw_semaphore that can be released by a different thread than the one that locked it, and it''s use case in the core direct I/O code is more like a counter given that the writers already have external serialization. This series removes it in favour of a simpler counter scheme, thus getting rid

Hi, I'm resending this patch series. It's rediffed against linux-next branch of Joel's git tree. The first four patches are obvious fixes of deadlocks in quota code and should go in as soon as possible. The other three patches implement lockdep support for OCFS2 cluster locks. So you can have a look whether the code make sence to you and possibly merge them. They should be NOP when

Former logic of ocfs2_file_aio_write() was a bit stricky to unlock the rw_lock and i_alloc_sem, by using some private bits in struct 'iocb' to communite with ocfs2_dio_end_io(), it did work before we introduce the patch of supporting 'coherency=full,buffered' option, since rw_lock and i_alloc_sem were never acquired both at the same time, no mattar we doing buffered or direct IO or

The following patches implement indexed directory support in Ocfs2, mostly according to the design doc I wrote up a while ago: http://oss.oracle.com/osswiki/OCFS2/DesignDocs/IndexedDirectories The patches have been rebased on top of 2.6.29-rc2. It should be trivial to put them into merge_window. Things are what I'd call complete now. I'd like to get these into the merge_window branch

Hi, The following patches comprise the bulk of Ocfs2 updates for the 2.6.30 merge window. Aside from larger, more involved fixes, we're adding the following features, which I will describe in the order their patches are mailed. Sunil's exported some more state to our debugfs files, and consolidated some other aspects of our debugfs infrastructure. This will further aid us in debugging

Hi, This is the second batch of Ocfs2 patches intended for the merge window. The 1st batch were sent out previously: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/19/280 The bulk of this set is comprised of Jan Kara's patches to add quota support to Ocfs2. Many of the quota patches are to generic code, which I carried to make merging of the Ocfs2 support easier. All of the non-ocfs2 patches should have
