...ses of the severe throughput drop of file reading in OCFS2 that found in the iozone benchmark. We find the major cause is the inadequate inode page cache cleaning when open or close the last reference to an inode. In routine ocfs_file_release(), if the caller is the last reference to this inode, truncate_inode_page is called to invalidate all page caches of this inode after the reference is closed. And in routine ocfs_file_open(), the page caches are also cleaned when this inode is first opened. In this case, the file reading operation always read data from the disk directly, which throughput is only 16M b...

If not, they might be flushed out to disc much later and overwrite something that has since been allocate the same location on disc. The pages are dealt with by truncate_inode_pages which ultimately calls journal_flushpage on each page which inturn calls journal_unmap_buffer. For data=writeback the data block will not be attached to the journal at all and the buffer is "Zapped" (marked as clean). For data=ordered the data block can only be dirty if it is part of...

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, 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

The following series of patches comprises the bulk of our outstanding changes for Ocfs2. Aside from the usual set of cleanups and fixes that were inappropriate for 2.6.25, there are a few highlights: The '/sys/o2cb' directory has been moved to '/sys/fs/o2cb'. The new location meshes better with modern sysfs layout. A symbolic link has been placed in the old location so as to
