[PATCH 0/2] commit_metadata export operation v6

[Ben Myers]

Hey Bruce,

Here is the latest version of the knfsd sync changes.  I have addressed the
suggestions provided by Christoph, Trond, Dave, and Alex.

In this latest version I have fixed up the few nits in the nfsd patch that
Christoph pointed out yesterday.  I also have simplified the xfs patch as
suggested by Dave.

Thanks,
	Ben

[PATCH 1/2] commit_metadata export operation replacing nfsd_sync_dir

[Ben Myers]

- Add commit_metadata export_operation to allow the underlying filesystem to
decide how to commit an inode most efficiently.

- Usage of nfsd_sync_dir and write_inode_now has been replaced with the
commit_metadata function that takes a svc_fh.

- The commit_metadata function calls the commit_metadata export_op if it's
there, or else falls back to sync_inode instead of fsync and write_inode_now
because only metadata need be synced here.

- nfsd4_sync_rec_dir now uses vfs_fsync so that commit_metadata can be static

[PATCH 1/2] commit_metadata export operation replacing nfsd_sync_dir

- Add commit_metadata export_operation to allow the underlying filesystem to
decide how to commit an inode most efficiently.

- Usage of nfsd_sync_dir and write_inode_now has been replaced with the
commit_metadata function that takes a svc_fh.

- The commit_metadata function calls the commit_metadata export_op if it's
there, or else falls back to sync_inode instead of fsync and write_inode_now
because only metadata need be synced here.

- nfsd4_sync_rec_dir now uses vfs_fsync so that commit_metadata can be static

[PATCH 2/2] xfs_export_operations.commit_metadata

[Ben Myers]

This is the commit_metadata export operation for XFS.

- Takes one inode to be committed.

- Forces the log up to the lsn of the inode.

- Doesn't force the log if the inode doesn't have a pincount.

[PATCH 2/2] xfs_export_operations.commit_metadata

[Ben Myers]

This is the commit_metadata export operation for XFS.

- Takes one inode to be committed.

- Forces the log up to the lsn of the inode.

- Doesn't force the log if the inode doesn't have a pincount.

I chatted with Alex.  It sounds like the best thing is for both patches
to go in through the nfsd tree since they need to go in order.

The xfs tree is supposed to be stable and we only had very few incidents
where a patch had to be pulled again.  But it's also a quite large set
of changes.

It does ot rely on that coincidence for correctness, just for a small
performance optimization.

The order of parent and child only happens in the create case where
NFS does a separate ->setattr call.  For all the operations handled
by the filesystem parent and child are in the same transaction for
every transactional filesystem.

Ah sorry, that should have read not bothering with locking two inodes
at the same time, which always is a bit troublesome.  We do need to lock
the inode for looking at the pincount.

It does ot rely on that coincidence for correctness, just for a small
performance optimization.

The order of parent and child only happens in the create case where
NFS does a separate ->setattr call.  For all the operations handled
by the filesystem parent and child are in the same transaction for
every transactional filesystem.

Assuming the xfs tree's something stable, I could also just go ahead and
pull it into the nfsd tree.

(Or we could do it the other way around--as long as when the merge
window opens we try to send the pull requests in the same order.)

I chose not implement that suggestion because I prefer not to rely upon
the coincidence that the child be modified last and synced first in
knfsd.  It is better that the intent of the patch be clear, and that
filesystems other than xfs also have enough information to sort out how
to sync more efficiently.  knfsd shouldn't be forced to sync in a
specific order just because that's what works best for xfs.  Or, mebbe
it should and I'm being thick.  ;)

Alex's suggestion that ->commit_metadata be more generic about the
relationship of the two inodes seems reasonable, not sure what that
means for vfs.c:commit_metadata.  This will help with the rename case.

Or just implement my later suggestion to only pass one inode to the
method and cal in on both inodes.   For the non-create case where
we have only one transaction to deal with fhr first call will take
care of it and unpin the second inode by forcing the log buffer out.
For the create case we need to make sure to call it on the child first
so that we force out the setattr transaction which also forced out the
earlier one.   This keeps the calling convention quite a bit simpler,
and also means we don't have to bother with locking two inodes or lsn
comparisms.

Inodes get pinned on transaction commit, and unpinned when the log I/O
for that transaction completes.  If the inode is not pinned this implies
it has already been written to disk, e.g. because we're filling the log
so fast that we need to write out more log buffers in that tiny window
between the metada operation and the commit_metadata call.

In the XFS tree we do want either

	xfs_log_force_lsn(mp, force_lsn, XFS_LOG_SYNC);

or
	error = _xfs_log_force_lsn(mp, force_lsn, XFS_LOG_SYNC, NULL);

if we care enough about the returned error.  But Ben is working against

We can deal with that by either commiting the old variant to the nfs
tree and then leaving sending Stephen a patch to fix it up in -next,
or just not apply the xfs commit_metadata implementation yet, and wait
for it until both the xfs and nfs trees have hit mainline.

I alluded to this in my review of the first patch.
This could be changed considered in a more generic
sense, "sync one or two inodes' metadata" rather
than presupposing the two inodes have a parent/child
relationship.

So if the log doesn't get forced, what causes the
desired metadata sync expected as a result of this
call?  (Maybe this is a dumb question.)

[PATCH 2/2] xfs_export_operations.commit_metadata

[Ben Myers]

This is the commit_metadata export operation for XFS, including the changes
suggested by hch and dgc:

- Takes two two inodes instead of dentries and can assume the parent is
always set.

- Uses xfs_lock_two_inodes for the ilock.

- Forces the log up to the larger lsn of parent and child.

- Uses XFS_LSN_CMP for lsn comparison.

- Doesn't force the log if nobody had a pincount.
