ocfs2_dlmfs: Enable the use of user cluster stacks.

2010-02-26T23:41:18+00:00

Unlike ocfs2, dlmfs has no permanent storage. It can't store off a cluster stack it is supposed to be using. So it can't specify the stack name in ocfs2_cluster_connect(). Instead, we create ocfs2_cluster_connect_agnostic(), which simply uses the stack that is currently enabled. This is find for dlmfs, which will rely on the stack initialization. We add the "stackglue" capability to dlmfs's capability list. This lets userspace know dlmfs can be used with all cluster stacks. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker

ocfs2: Pass the locking protocol into ocfs2_cluster_connect().

2010-02-26T23:41:17+00:00

Inside the stackglue, the locking protocol structure is hanging off of the ocfs2_cluster_connection. This takes it one further; the locking protocol is passed into ocfs2_cluster_connect(). Now different cluster connections can have different locking protocols with distinct asts. Note that all locking protocols have to keep their maximum protocol version in lock-step. With the protocol structure set in ocfs2_cluster_connect(), there is no need for the stackglue to have a static pointer to a specific protocol structure. We can change initialization to only pass in the maximum protocol version. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker

ocfs2: Remove the ast pointers from ocfs2_stack_plugins

2010-02-26T23:41:16+00:00

With the full ocfs2_locking_protocol hanging off of the ocfs2_cluster_connection, ast wrappers can get the ast/bast pointers there. They don't need to get them from their plugin structure. The user plugin still needs the maximum locking protocol version, though. This changes the plugin structure so that it only holds the max version, not the entire ocfs2_locking_protocol pointer.

ocfs2: Hang the locking proto on the cluster conn and use it in asts.

2010-02-26T23:41:16+00:00

With the ocfs2_cluster_connection hanging off of the ocfs2_dlm_lksb, we have access to it in the ast and bast wrapper functions. Attach the ocfs2_locking_protocol to the conn. Now, instead of refering to a static variable for ast/bast pointers, the wrappers can look at the connection. This means different connections can have different ast/bast pointers, and it reduces the need for the static pointer. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker

ocfs2: Attach the connection to the lksb

2010-02-26T23:41:14+00:00

We're going to want it in the ast functions, so we convert union ocfs2_dlm_lksb to struct ocfs2_dlm_lksb and let it carry the connection. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker

ocfs2: Pass lksbs back from stackglue ast/bast functions.

2010-02-26T23:41:14+00:00

The stackglue ast and bast functions tried to maintain the fiction that their arguments were void pointers. In reality, stack_user.c had to know that the argument was an ocfs2_lock_res in order to get the status off of the lksb. That's ugly. This changes stackglue to always pass the lksb as the argument to ast and bast functions. The caller can always use container_of() to get the ocfs2_lock_res or user_dlm_lock_res. The net effect to the caller is zero. They still get back the lockres in their ast. stackglue gets cleaner, and now can use the lksb itself. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker

ocfs2: Provide the ocfs2_dlm_lvb_valid() stack API.

2009-06-22T21:24:30+00:00

The Lock Value Block (LVB) of a DLM lock can be lost when nodes die and the DLM cannot reconstruct its state. Clients of the DLM need to know this. ocfs2's internal DLM, o2dlm, explicitly zeroes out the LVB when it loses track of the state. This is not a standard behavior, but ocfs2 has always relied on it. Thus, an o2dlm LVB is always "valid". ocfs2 now supports both o2dlm and fs/dlm via the stack glue. When fs/dlm loses track of an LVBs state, it sets a flag (DLM_SBF_VALNOTVALID) on the Lock Status Block (LKSB). The contents of the LVB may be garbage or merely stale. ocfs2 doesn't want to try to guess at the validity of the stale LVB. Instead, it should be checking the VALNOTVALID flag. As this is the 'standard' way of treating LVBs, we will promote this behavior. We add a stack glue API ocfs2_dlm_lvb_valid(). It returns non-zero when the LVB is valid. o2dlm will always return valid, while fs/dlm will check VALNOTVALID. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker Acked-by: Mark Fasheh

ocfs2: POSIX file locks support

2008-10-13T20:57:57+00:00

This is actually pretty easy since fs/dlm already handles the bulk of the work. The Ocfs2 userspace cluster stack module already uses fs/dlm as the underlying lock manager, so I only had to add the right calls. Cluster-aware POSIX locks ("plocks") can be turned off by the same means at UNIX locks - mount with 'noflocks', or create a local-only Ocfs2 volume. Internally, the file system uses two sets of file_operations, depending on whether cluster aware plocks is required. This turns out to be easier than implementing local-only versions of ->lock.

ocfs2: Remove ->hangup() from stack glue operations.

2008-06-16T17:46:52+00:00

The ->hangup() call was only used to execute ocfs2_hb_ctl. Now that the generic stack glue code handles this, the underlying stack drivers don't need to know about it. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh
