2010-08-30nilfs2: fix leak of shadow dat inode in error path of load_nilfsRyusuke Konishi
If load_nilfs() gets an error while doing recovery, it will fail to free the shadow inode of dat (nilfs->ns_gc_dat). This fixes the leak issue. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

2010-08-16nilfs2: fix false warning saying one of two super blocks is brokenRyusuke Konishi
After applying commit b2ac86e1, the following message got appeared after unclean shutdown: > NILFS warning: broken superblock. using spare superblock. This turns out to be a false message due to the change which updates two super blocks alternately. The secondary super block now can be selected if it's newer than the primary one. This kills the false warning by suppressing it if another super block is not actually broken. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-08-16nilfs2: fix list corruption after ifile creation failureRyusuke Konishi
If nilfs_attach_checkpoint() gets a memory allocation failure during creation of ifile, it will return without removing nilfs_sb_info struct from ns_supers list. When a concurrently mounted snapshot is unmounted or another new snapshot is mounted after that, this causes kernel oops as below: > BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) > IP: [<f83662ff>] nilfs_find_sbinfo+0x74/0xa4 [nilfs2] > *pde = 00000000 > Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP <snip> > Call Trace: > [<f835dc29>] ? nilfs_get_sb+0x165/0x532 [nilfs2] > [<c1173c87>] ? ida_get_new_above+0x16d/0x187 > [<c109a7f8>] ? alloc_vfsmnt+0x7e/0x10a > [<c1070790>] ? kstrdup+0x2c/0x40 > [<c1089041>] ? vfs_kern_mount+0x96/0x14e > [<c108913d>] ? do_kern_mount+0x32/0xbd > [<c109b331>] ? do_mount+0x642/0x6a1 > [<c101a415>] ? do_page_fault+0x0/0x2d1 > [<c1099c00>] ? copy_mount_options+0x80/0xe2 > [<c10705d8>] ? strndup_user+0x48/0x67 > [<c109b3f1>] ? sys_mount+0x61/0x90 > [<c10027cc>] ? sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x22 This fixes the problem.

2010-08-09simplify checks for I_CLEAR/I_FREEINGAl Viro
add I_CLEAR instead of replacing I_FREEING with it. I_CLEAR is equivalent to I_FREEING for almost all code looking at either; it's there to keep track of having called clear_inode() exactly once per inode lifetime, at some point after having set I_FREEING. I_CLEAR and I_FREEING never get set at the same time with the current code, so we can switch to setting i_flags to I_FREEING | I_CLEAR instead of I_CLEAR without loss of information. As the result of such change, checks become simpler and the amount of code that needs to know about I_CLEAR shrinks a lot. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2010-08-09remove inode_setattrChristoph Hellwig
Replace inode_setattr with opencoded variants of it in all callers. This moves the remaining call to vmtruncate into the filesystem methods where it can be replaced with the proper truncate sequence. In a few cases it was obvious that we would never end up calling vmtruncate so it was left out in the opencoded variant: spufs: explicitly checks for ATTR_SIZE earlier btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier ufs: contains an opencoded simple_seattr + truncate that sets the filesize just above In addition to that ncpfs called inode_setattr with handcrafted iattrs, which allowed to trim down the opencoded variant.

2010-08-09get rid of block_write_begin_newtruncChristoph Hellwig

2010-08-09introduce __block_write_beginChristoph Hellwig
Split up the block_write_begin implementation - __block_write_begin is a new trivial wrapper for block_prepare_write that always takes an already allocated page and can be either called from block_write_begin or filesystem code that already has a page allocated. Remove the handling of already allocated pages from block_write_begin after switching all callers that do it to __block_write_begin.

2010-08-09clean up write_begin usage for directories in pagecacheChristoph Hellwig
For filesystem that implement directories in pagecache we call block_write_begin with an already allocated page for this code, while the normal regular file write path uses the default block_write_begin behaviour. Get rid of the __foofs_write_begin helper and opencode the normal write_begin call in foofs_write_begin, while adding a new foofs_prepare_chunk helper for the directory code. The added benefit is that foofs_prepare_chunk has a much saner calling convention. Note that the interruptible flag passed into block_write_begin is always ignored if we already pass in a page (see next patch for details), and we never were doing truncations of exessive blocks for this case either so we can switch directly to block_write_begin_newtrunc.

Move the call to vmtruncate to get rid of accessive blocks to the callers in prepearation of the new truncate calling sequence. This was only done for DIO_LOCKING filesystems, so the __blockdev_direct_IO_newtrunc variant was not needed anyway. Get rid of blockdev_direct_IO_no_locking and its _newtrunc variant while at it as just opencoding the two additional paramters is shorted than the name suffix.

2010-08-07block: unify flags for struct bio and struct requestChristoph Hellwig
Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too. This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them. Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

2010-07-25nilfs2: reject filesystem with unsupported block sizeRyusuke Konishi
This inserts sanity check that refuses to mount a filesystem with unsupported block size. Previously, kernel code of nilfs was looking only limitation of devices though mkfs.nilfs2 limits the range of block sizes; there was no check that prevents rec_len overflow with larger block sizes. With this change, block sizes larger than 64KB or smaller than 1KB will get rejected explicitly by kernel. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-07-25nilfs2: avoid rec_len overflow with 64KB block sizeRyusuke Konishi
With 64KB blocksize, a directory entry can have size 64KB which does not fit into 16 bits we have for entry length. So this patch stores 0xffff instead and converts value when read from / written to disk. Nilfs derives its directory implementation from ext2 filesystem, and this draws upon the corresponding change on ext2. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-07-24nilfs2: simplify nilfs_get_page functionRyusuke Konishi
Implementation of nilfs_get_page() is a bit old as below: - A common read_mapping_page inline function is now available instead of its read_cache_page use. - wait_on_page_locked() use in the function is eliminable since read_cache_page function does the same thing through wait_on_page_read(). - PageUptodate() check is eliminable for the same reason. This renews nilfs_get_page() based on these points. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-07-23nilfs2: reject incompatible filesystemRyusuke Konishi

2010-07-23nilfs2: apply read-ahead for nilfs_btree_lookup_contigRyusuke Konishi
This applies read-ahead to nilfs_btree_do_lookup and nilfs_btree_lookup_contig functions and extends them to read ahead siblings of level 1 btree nodes that hold data blocks. At present, the read-ahead is not applied to most btree operations; only get_block() callback function, which is used during read of regular files or directories, receives the benefit.

2010-07-23nilfs2: introduce check flag to btree node bufferRyusuke Konishi
nilfs_btree_get_block() now may return untested buffer due to read-ahead. This adds a new flag for buffer heads so that the btree code can check whether the buffer is already verified or not. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-07-23nilfs2: add btree get block function with readahead optionRyusuke Konishi
This adds __nilfs_btree_get_block() function that can issue a series of read-ahead requests for sibling btree nodes. This read-ahead needs parent node block, so nilfs_btree_readahead_info structure is added to pass the information that __nilfs_btree_get_block() needs. This also replaces the previous nilfs_btree_get_block() implementation with a wrapper function of __nilfs_btree_get_block(). Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-07-23nilfs2: add read ahead mode to nilfs_btnode_submit_blockRyusuke Konishi
This adds mode argument to nilfs_btnode_submit_block() function and allows it to issue a read-ahead request. An optional submit_ptr argument is also added to store the actual block address for which bio is sent. submit_ptr is used for a series of read-ahead requests, and helps to decide if each requested block is continous to the previous one on disk.

2010-07-23nilfs2: fix buffer head leak in nilfs_btnode_submit_blockRyusuke Konishi

2010-07-23nilfs2: eliminate inline keywords in btree implementationRyusuke Konishi

2010-07-23nilfs2: get maximum number of child nodes from bmap objectRyusuke Konishi
The patch "reduce repetitive calculation of max number of child nodes" gathered up the calculation of maximum number of child nodes into nilfs_btree_nchildren_per_block() function. This makes the function get resultant value from a private variable in bmap object instead of calculating it for each call. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-07-23nilfs2: reduce repetitive calculation of max number of child nodesRyusuke Konishi
The current btree implementation repeats the same calculation on the maximum number of child nodes. This is because a few low level routines use the calculation for index addressing in a btree node block. This reduces the calculation by explicitly passing the maximum number of child nodes (ncmax) through their argument. This changes parameter passing of the following functions: - nilfs_btree_node_dptrs - nilfs_btree_node_get_ptr - nilfs_btree_node_set_ptr - nilfs_btree_node_init - nilfs_btree_node_move_left - nilfs_btree_node_move_right - nilfs_btree_node_insert - nilfs_btree_node_delete, and - nilfs_btree_get_node The following functions are removed: - nilfs_btree_node_nchildren_min - nilfs_btree_node_nchildren_max Most middle level btree operations are rewritten to pass a proper ncmax value depending on whether each occurrence of node is "root" or not. A constant NILFS_BTREE_ROOT_NCHILDREN_MAX is used for the root node, whereas nilfs_btree_nchildren_per_block() function is used for non-root nodes. If a node could be either root or a non-root node, an output argument of nilfs_btree_get_node() is used to set up ncmax. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-07-23nilfs2: optimize calculation of min/max number of btree node childrenRyusuke Konishi
nilfs_btree_node_nchildren_max() and nilfs_btree_node_nchildren_min() functions switch return value depending on whether target node is the root or a node block. In most uses of these functions, however, the node type is fixed, and moreover the same calculation is repeatedly performed in loop. This unfold these functions depending on context and move them outside loops wherever possible. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-07-23nilfs2: remove redundant pointer checks in bmap lookup functionsRyusuke Konishi

2010-07-23nilfs2: pass remount flag to parse_optionsRyusuke Konishi
This adds is_remount argument to the parse_options() function that obtains mount options from strings.

2010-07-23nilfs2: do not update log cursor for small changeRyusuke Konishi
Super blocks of nilfs are periodically overwritten in order to record the recent log position. This shortens recovery time after unclean unmount, but the current implementation performs the update even for a few blocks of change. If the filesystem gets small changes slowly and continually, super blocks may be updated excessively. This moderates the issue by skipping update of log cursor if it does not cross a segment boundary. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-07-23nilfs2: implement fallback for super root searchRyusuke Konishi
Although nilfs redundantly uses two super blocks and each may point to different position on log, the current version of nilfs does not try fallback to the spare super block when it doesn't find any valid log at the position that the primary super block points to. This has been a cause of mount failures due to write order reversals on barrier less block devices. This inserts fallback code in error path of nilfs_search_super_root routine to resolve the mount failure problem. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-07-23nilfs2: add missing error code in comment of nilfs_search_super_rootRyusuke Konishi

2010-07-23nilfs2: sync super blocks in turnsJiro SEKIBA
This will sync super blocks in turns instead of syncing duplicate super blocks at the time. This will help searching valid super root when super block is written into disk before log is written, which is happen when barrier-less block devices are unmounted uncleanly. In the situation, old super block likely points to valid log. This patch introduces ns_sbwcount member to the nilfs object and adds nilfs_sb_will_flip() function; ns_sbwcount counts how many times super blocks write back to the disk. And, nilfs_sb_will_flip() decides whether flipping required or not based on the count of ns_sbwcount to sync super blocks asymmetrically. The following functions are also changed: - nilfs_prepare_super(): flips super blocks according to the argument. The argument is calculated by nilfs_sb_will_flip() function. - nilfs_cleanup_super(): sets "clean" flag to both super blocks if they point to the same checkpoint. To update both of super block information, caller of nilfs_commit_super must set the information on both super blocks.
