similar to: [PATCH 1/1] OCFS2: fix for nfs getting stale inode.

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

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

Hi, here comes the next version of OCFS2 lockdep support. I've dropped patches with fixes from the series since they were already merged. As Joel suggested, I've simplified the main patch a bit so that we don't have ifdefs around lock declarations and there are also a few other minor improvements. Honza

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

Resending after adding another patch to display delayed orphan scan statistics.

On unlink, all nodes check for the dentry in dcache and if present they mark the node as unlinked. The last node that purges the inode will clean it from orphan directory. When there is a memory pressure, a dentry may not be around and hence the inode is not marked as deleted and this will lead the file to be in the orphan directory till the slot is re-used during next mount. This patch initiates

Next two patches are backport of orphan scan timer patches to ocfs2-1.4

Implemented the suggestions. Also, moved the ocfs2_orphan_scan_init() to the end of ocfs2_fill_super() instead of calling it earlier in ocfs2_initialize_super(). Sunil

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

All, Please review the patches backported to 1.4 from mainline. Sunil

Hi Joel/Srini, Here are 2 patches for orphan lock in local mode. patch 1: In local mode, we don't need lvb, so don't init it. patch 2: In local mode, orphan lock and unlock don't need to go to dlm part. Regards, Tao

Mainline commit d4f7e650e55af6b235871126f747da88600e8040 attempts to delay the dlm_thread from sending the drop ref message if the lockres is being migrated. The problem is that we make the dlm_thread wait for the migration to complete. This causes a deadlock as dlm_thread also participates in the lockres migration process. A better fix for the original oss bugzilla#1012 is in testing.

This patch adds jbd_lock_bh_state() and jbd_unlock_bh_state() around accessses to jh->b_committed_data.

Patch 5 has been respun with the recommended change... remove the ex argument in ocfs2_orphan_scan_lock() and ocfs2_orphan_scan_unlock(). Sunil

This email is also sent to cluster-devel at redhat.com. Since this issue is about both dlm and ocfs2, I send the email here to look for help from upstream. This is an already known issue. on ocfs2 with user space cluster stack, run the test script from http://people.redhat.com/~teigland/make_panic on the mounted ocfs2 volume from 2 nodes simultaneously, the access to ocfs2 volume on both nodes

I'm running a bit late with the e-mail this time around, but I think that's ok since there really isn't any major new features here - the bulk of the Ocfs2 update is bug fixes, or cleanups. The same goes for configfs. The only two things that could be described as features would be: - Sunil has updated Ocfs2 to provide even more live cluster locking information via debugfs. - Joel

David, So here are the two patches. Remove all patches that you have and apply these. The first one is straight forward. The second one will hopefully fix the livelock issue you have been encountering. People reviewing the patches should note that the second one is slightly different than the one I posted earlier. It removes the BUG_ON in the if condition where we jump to update_holders. The
