I am a teacher of computing programming in Madrid (Spain).Reciently I had presented for to be examined new library in Boost.( http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8437476/works/countertree/index.html ). I am writting you because I think a part of this library, the suballocator, can be useful to you. The suballocator works with the allocator for to improve the allocation speed of fixed size elements, like in

changes from v3: 1, move codes that checks inode allocation bit to subfunction ocfs2_test_inode_bit(). 2, release the suballoc lock just after we get it. we should release it asap and doing so doesn't affect functionility. 3, add inode alloc slot validation.

Hi all, this patch set are the backport of inode alloc improvement from mainline to ocfs2-1.4. the patches are almost the same excpet one thing: Joel has added JBD2 support to ocfs2, so he has added "max_blocks" to alloc_context and add a new function "ocfs2_reserve_clusters_with_limit". We don't have that in ocfs2-1.4. So there are some great difference in patch 2.

changes from v4: 1, let suballoc lock covers the checking of the group. 2, add/correct some log messages. 3, use ocfs2_read_group_descriptor() instead of diry reading the group.

In ocfs2, the inode block search looks for the "emptiest" inode group to allocate from. So if an inode alloc file has many equally (or almost equally) empty groups, new inodes will tend to get spread out amongst them, which in turn can put them all over the disk. This is undesirable because directory operations on conceptually "nearby" inodes force a large number of seeks. So

For nfs exporting, ocfs2_get_dentry() returns the dentry for fh. ocfs2_get_dentry() may read from disk(when inode not in memory) without any cross cluster lock. this leads to load a stale inode. this patch fixes above problem. solution is that in case of inode is not in memory, we get the cluster lock(PR) of alloc inode where the inode in question is allocated from(this causes node on which

From: "Xiaowei.Hu" <xiaowei.hu at oracle.com> ocfs2_block_group_alloc_discontig() disables chain relink by setting ac->ac_allow_chain_relink = 0 because it grabs clusters from multiple cluster groups. It doesn't keep the credits for all chain relink,but ocfs2_claim_suballoc_bits overrides this in this call trace:

Hi Mark/Joel, I meet with some meta allocation bugs when I implement reflink these days. And after some investigation, I think we should have the same problem when we have PAGE_SIZE > CLUSTER_SIZE. So I create a scenario today in one ppc box and try. the box panic as I expected. ;) The scenario is that: Create a file with the disk layout like this(with bs=512, and cs=4K). debugfs: stat

Linus, et al, Here are the outstanding ocfs2 fixes we have for 2.6.30. The important ones are journal credit fixes for the new indexed directories. There's also MAINTAINERS update for my ocfs2 git tree. Please pull.

This set of patches includes a few dlm related fixes from Kurt, and a small, trivial cleanup by Adrian. Also included are three disk allocation patches by me - two fixes and one incremental improvement in our allocation strategy. These have been around since early June, so I think they've had enough testing that they can go upstream. Please pull from 'upstream-linus' branch of

In ocfs2_add_branch, we use the rightmost rec of the leaf extent block to generate the e_cpos for the new added branch. In the most case, it is OK but if there is a gap between the the root(or branch) 's rightmost rec and the leaf, it will cause kernel panic if we insert some clusters in it. The message is something like: (7445,1):ocfs2_insert_at_leaf:3775 ERROR: bug expression:

ocfs2 currently uses the Journaled Block Device (JBD) for its journaling. This is a very stable and tested codebase. However, JBD is limited by architecture to 32bit block numbers. This means an ocfs2 filesystem is limited to 2^32 blocks. With a 4K blocksize, that's 16TB. People want larger volumes. Fortunately, there is now JBD2. JBD2 adds 64bit block number support and some other

Hi Mark/Joel, This is the v2 of bug fix for ocfs2_add_branch. Modification from V1 to V2: 1. Create a patch which return EROFS instead of BUG in ocfs2_insert_at_leaf. 2. Use ocfs2_adjust_rightmost_records to change the root and extent blocks in the rightmost path. Regards, Tao
