Hi,

Here is the current content of the GFS2 -nmw git tree. Mostly its
just clean up and bug fixes this time. There is one exception which
is the "wait for journal id" patch which is a new feature aimed
at (eventually) allowing us to simplify the userland support which
GFS2 requires,

Steve.

This time we have mostly clean ups. There is a bug fix for a NULL dereference
relating to ACLs, and another which improves (but does not fix entirely) an
allocation fall-back code path. The other three patches are small clean ups.

Steve.

Hi,

Here are a few GFS2 fixes which are pending. There are two patches
which fix up a couple of minor issues in the DLM interface code,
a missing error path in gfs2_rs_alloc(), two patches which fix problems
during "withdraw" and a fix for discards/FITRIM when using 4k sector
sized devices,

Steve.

Hi,

Here are four small bug fixes for GFS2. There is no common theme here
really, just a few items that were fixed recently. The first fixes
lock name generation when the glock number is 0. The second fixes a
race allocating reservation structures and the final two fix a performance
issue by making small changes in the allocation code,

Steve.

Hi,

I know the merge window isn't open yet, but at this stage I'm going to
hold off on any larger patches until the following merge window so this
patch set isn't likely to change much, hence kicking it out a bit early
for review.

There are a few interesting points to note in this patch set:
 o GFS2 is updated to use the new truncate sequence
 o Support for fallocate is added
 o Clean up of some unused/obsolete mount options

I'm currently working on a patch to allow the glock hash table
to use RCU. That is currently a work-in-progress and that will
hopefully be ready for the succeeding merge window.

Steve.

Hi,

Nothing very exciting this time.... mostly minor bug fixes and
a docs update. The gfs2_logd patch has been hanging around for
a long time and is now finally integrated. It is the first step
towards a longer term goal of improving performance in that
area,

Steve.

Here are three small (but important!) fixes to GFS2.

Hi,

Not so many patches for GFS2 this merge window. The bulk of the changes are
aimed at reducing overheads when caching large numbers of inodes and
the consequent simplification of the umount code,

Steve.

As merge time is approaching, here is the current content of the
GFS2 -nmw git tree. I'm not expecting to take any more patches
now for the current merge window unless any last minute bugs
are discovered.

There is not a huge amount new this time. Some extra context for
uevent messages, better error handling during block allocation,
and a clean up of extended attribute support. There is still more
to do on the extended attribute side of things, but this is a good
start I think.

There are a few bug fixes as well. Once these patches are merged
I'm intending to start off the next -nmw tree with a patch to
remove some of the (now unused) sysfs files as per the message
on cluster-devel a few weeks back.

Steve.

Hi,

As the merge window is more or less upon us, here is the content
of the GFS2 -nmw tree. There is nothing too startling this time
as the focus has very much been bug fixes and clean up.

We have a new mount option, commit= which does exactly the same
thing as the ext3 equivalent option. We have a long term plan to
make all the tunable parameters available as mount options and
thus to be able to eventually drop the sysfs interface to these
parameters.

Another long term plan is to get rid of the files named
ops_somethingorother and to either merge them into other
files, or rename them to not have the ops_ prefix. This
patch series makes a start on that, and does all the easy
ones. As a result some functions with only one caller are
moved to the same file as their caller and made static.

The docs are also updated to reflect the fact that the
lock_dlm interface module no longer exists and that interface is
now built into GFS2.

Steve.

In preparation for the next merge window, here is the current content
of the GFS2 git tree. Firstly, we have one new feature, which is
support for the FIEMAP ioctl. That patch does touch some code
outside of GFS2 itself, but its the only patch in this series which
does so.

The remaining patches are mostly clean up and bug fixes, as usual.
They are working towards a point where I can submit a patch to finally
merge the lock_dlm module (not dlm itself I should emphasise) into
GFS2. That is a large patch and a preliminary version has already been
posted to cluster-devel. My plan is to put that patch into my -nmw
git tree as the first patch for the following merge window to give
it maximum exposure.

The other highlight of this patch series, is a patch which removes
the two daemons (gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd) and replaces them with
a "shrinker" routine registered with the VM. As expected, this also
reduces the code size. We are also expecting do do a similar thing
with the GFS2 quota data strucutures at some point in the future.

Steve.

I'm guessing that the merge window opening might not be too far
away now, and in any case, I won't have quite my normal internet
access next week. So I'm pushing out the current GFS2 tree so
that (I hope) there will be time to fix any issues.

Again, there are fewer patches here. A lot of them are fairly small
too. The most noteable item deals with the meta filesystem which
was in response to Al Viro's suggestions concerning a better way
to structure that code. It certainly results in a much cleaner
implementation, so thanks go to Al for pointing that out.

A couple of new features: I/O barrier support (needs no user
configuration, see the patch for details) and UUID support
(no code changes, its all userland but we reserve space in
the super block, again details in the patch itself).

I know that I hardly need say, but please let me know if you have any
comments :-)

Steve.
