similar to: [PATCH 1/1] Patch to recover orphans in offline slots during recovery and mount

The following patch is a backport of patch that recovers orphans from offline slots. It is being backported from mainline to 1.4 mainline patch: 0001-Patch-to-recover-orphans-in-offline-slots-during-rec.patch Thanks, --Srini

During recovery, a node recovers orphans in it's slot and the dead node(s). But if the dead nodes were holding orphans in offline slots, they will be left unrecovered. If the dead node is the last one to die and is holding orphans in other slots and is the first one to mount, then it only recovers it's own slot, which leaves orphans in offline slots. This patch queues complete_recovery

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

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

In the current recovery procedure, recovering node recovers orphans from the slot it is holding and the slots that dead nodes were holding. Other online nodes recover orphans from their slots. But orphans in offline slots are left un-recovered. This patch queues recovery_completion for offline slots. Signed-off-by: Srinivas Eeda <srinivas.eeda at oracle.com> --- fs/ocfs2/journal.c | 21

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

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

Ocfs2 supports exporting. PROBLEM: There are 2 problems (1) Current version of ocfs2_get_dentry() may read from disk the inode WITHOUT any cross cluster lock. This may lead to load a stale inode. (2) for deleting an inode, ocfs2_remove_inode() doesn't sync/checkpoint to disk. This also may lead ocfs2_get_dentry() from other node read out stale inode. PROBLEM DETAIL: for problem (1), For

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

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

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.

fstest generic cases 347 361 628 629 trigger a same issue: When jbd2 enter ABORT status, ocfs2 ignores it and keep going to commit journal. This commit gives ocfs2 ability to handle jbd2 ABORT case.

This patch is against ocfs2-1.4 and also applies to ocfs2-1.2. ocfs2 mainline requires only the first portion of the patch and hence will make a separate patch for that.

What we were doing before was to ask for the current window size as the maximum allocation. This had the effect of limiting the amount of allocation we could get for the local alloc during times when the window size was shrunk due to fragmentation. In some cases, that could actually *increase* fragmentation by artificially limiting the number of bits we can accept. So while we still want to ask

In commit ea455f8ab68338ba69f5d3362b342c115bea8e13, we move the dentry lock put process into ocfs2_wq. This is OK for most case, but as for umount, it lead to at least 2 bugs. See http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1133 and http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1135. And it happens easily if we have opened a lot of inodes. For 1135, the reason is that during umount will call
