2010-09-10Track negative entries v3Goldwyn Rodrigues
Track negative dentries by recording the generation number of the parent directory in d_fsdata. The generation number for the parent directory is recorded in the inode_info, which increments every time the lock on the directory is dropped. If the generation number of the parent directory and the negative dentry matches, there is no need to perform the revalidate, else a revalidate is forced. This improves performance in situations where nodes look for the same non-existent file multiple times. Thanks Mark for explaining the DLM sequence.

2009-07-21ocfs2: Fix deadlock on umountJan Kara
In commit ea455f8ab68338ba69f5d3362b342c115bea8e13, we moved the dentry lock put process into ocfs2_wq. This causes problems during umount because ocfs2_wq can drop references to inodes while they are being invalidated by invalidate_inodes() causing all sorts of nasty things (invalidate_inodes() ending in an infinite loop, "Busy inodes after umount" messages etc.). We fix the problem by stopping ocfs2_wq from doing any further releasing of inode references on the superblock being unmounted, wait until it finishes the current round of releasing and finally cleaning up all the references in dentry_lock_list from ocfs2_put_super(). The issue was tracked down by Tao Ma <tao.ma@oracle.com>. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

2009-02-02ocfs2: Push out dropping of dentry lock to ocfs2_wqJan Kara
Dropping of last reference to dentry lock is a complicated operation involving dropping of reference to inode. This can get complicated and quota code in particular needs to obtain some quota locks which leads to potential deadlock. Thus we defer dropping of inode reference to ocfs2_wq.

2006-09-24ocfs2: Remove special casing for inode creation in ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock()Mark Fasheh
We can't use LKM_LOCAL for new dentry locks because an unlink and subsequent re-create of a name/inode pair may result in the lock still being mastered somewhere in the cluster. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2006-09-24ocfs2: Add dentry tracking APIMark Fasheh
Replace the dentry vote mechanism with a cluster lock which covers a set of dentries. This allows us to force d_delete() only on nodes which actually care about an unlink. Every node that does a ->lookup() gets a read only lock on the dentry, until an unlink during which the unlinking node, will request an exclusive lock, forcing the other nodes who care about that dentry to d_delete() it. The effect is that we retain a very lightweight ->d_revalidate(), and at the same time get to make large improvements to the average case performance of the ocfs2 unlink and rename operations. This patch adds the higher level API and the dentry manipulation code. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2006-09-24ocfs2: Add new cluster lock typeMark Fasheh
Replace the dentry vote mechanism with a cluster lock which covers a set of dentries. This allows us to force d_delete() only on nodes which actually care about an unlink. Every node that does a ->lookup() gets a read only lock on the dentry, until an unlink during which the unlinking node, will request an exclusive lock, forcing the other nodes who care about that dentry to d_delete() it. The effect is that we retain a very lightweight ->d_revalidate(), and at the same time get to make large improvements to the average case performance of the ocfs2 unlink and rename operations. This patch adds the cluster lock type which OCFS2 can attach to dentries. A small number of fs/ocfs2/dcache.c functions are stubbed out so that this change can compile.
