* nilfs2: rename nilfs_recover_logical_segments functionRyusuke Konishi2010-07-22
| | | | | | | | The function name of nilfs_recover_logical_segments makes no sense. This changes the name into nilfs_salvage_orphan_logs to clarify the role of the function. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* nilfs2: refactor recovery logic routinesRyusuke Konishi2010-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | Most functions in recovery code take an argument of a super block instance or a nilfs_sb_info struct for convenience sake. This replaces them aggressively with a nilfs object by applying __bread and __breadahead against routines using sb_bread and sb_breadahead.

* nilfs2: remove obsolete declarations of cache constructor and destructorRyusuke Konishi2010-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | The commit 41c88bd7 ("nilfs2: cleanup multi kmem_cache_{create,destroy} code") consolidated slab constructors and destructors used in nilfs, but it left some declarations in header files. This gets rid of the obsolete declarations. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* nilfs2: change sc_timer from a pointer to an embedded one in struct ↵Li Hong2010-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | nilfs_sc_info In nilfs_segctor_thread(), timer is a local variable allocated on stack. Its address can't be set to sci->sc_timer and passed in several procedures. It works now by chance, just because other procedures are called by nilfs_segctor_thread() directly or indirectly and the stack hasn't been deallocated yet.

* nilfs2: cleanup multi kmem_cache_{create,destroy} codeLi Hong2010-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This cleanup patch gives several improvements: - Moving all kmem_cache_{create_destroy} calls into one place, which removes some small function calls, cleans up error check code and clarify the logic. - Mark all initial code in __init section. - Remove some very obvious comments. - Adjust some declarations. - Fix some space-tab issues.

* nilfs2: get rid of nilfs_segctor_req structRyusuke Konishi2010-02-12
| | | | | | | This will clean up nilfs_segctor_req struct and the obscure request argument passed among private methods of segment constructor. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* nilfs2: separate wait function from nilfs_segctor_writeRyusuke Konishi2009-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This separates wait function for submitted logs from the write function nilfs_segctor_write(). A new list of segment buffers "sc_write_logs" is added to hold logs under writing, and double buffering is partially applied to hide io latency. At this point, the double buffering is disabled for blocksize < pagesize because page dirty flag is turned off during write and dirty buffers are not properly collected for pages crossing over segments. To receive full benefit of the double buffering, further refinement is needed to move the io wait outside the lock section of log writer.

* nilfs2: remove header file for segment list operationsRyusuke Konishi2009-06-10
| | | | | | | | | | | This will eliminate obsolete list operations of nilfs_segment_entry structure which has been used to handle mutiple segment numbers. The patch ("nilfs2: remove list of freeing segments") removed use of the structure from the segment constructor code, and this patch simplifies the remaining code by integrating it into recovery.c.

* nilfs2: eliminate removal list of segmentsRyusuke Konishi2009-06-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | This will clean up the removal list of segments and the related functions from segment.c and ioctl.c, which have hurt code readability. This elimination is applied by using nilfs_sufile_updatev() previously introduced in the patch ("nilfs2: add sufile function that can modify multiple segment usages").

To avoid this problem, this patch moves all calls of copy_from_user() outside the nilfs->ns_segctor_sem lock in the ioctl. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* nilfs2: introduce secondary super blockRyusuke Konishi2009-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The former versions didn't have extra super blocks. This improves the weak point by introducing another super block at unused region in tail of the partition. This doesn't break disk format compatibility; older versions just ingore the secondary super block, and new versions just recover it if it doesn't exist. The partition created by an old mkfs may not have unused region, but in that case, the secondary super block will not be added. This doesn't make more redundant copies of the super block; it is a future work.

* nilfs2: simplify handling of active state of segmentsRyusuke Konishi2009-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | will reduce some lines of segment constructor. Previously, the state was complexly controlled through a list of segments in order to keep consistency in meta data of usage state of segments. Instead, this presents ``calculated'' active flags to userland cleaner program and stop maintaining its real flag on disk. Only by this fake flag, the cleaner cannot exactly know if each segment is reclaimable or not. However, the recent extension of nilfs_sustat ioctl struct (nilfs2-extend-nilfs_sustat-ioctl-struct.patch) can prevent the cleaner from reclaiming in-use segment wrongly. So, now I can apply this for simplification.

* nilfs2: mark minor flag for checkpoint created by internal operationRyusuke Konishi2009-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nilfs creates checkpoints even for garbage collection or metadata updates such as checkpoint mode change. So, user often sees checkpoints created only by such internal operations. This is inconvenient in some situations. For example, application that monitors checkpoints and changes them to snapshots, will fall into an infinite loop because it cannot distinguish internally created checkpoints. This patch solves this sort of problem by adding a flag to checkpoint for identification.

* nilfs2: clean up sketch fileRyusuke Konishi2009-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sketch file is a file to mark checkpoints with user data. It was experimentally introduced in the original implementation, and now obsolete. The file was handled differently with regular files; the file size got truncated when a checkpoint was created. This stops the special treatment and will treat it as a regular file. Most users are not affected because mkfs.nilfs2 no longer makes this file.

* nilfs2: fix missed-sync issue for do_sync_mapping_range()Ryusuke Konishi2009-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Chris Mason pointed out that there is a missed sync issue in nilfs_writepages(): On Wed, 17 Dec 2008 21:52:55 -0500, Chris Mason wrote: > It looks like nilfs_writepage ignores WB_SYNC_NONE, which is used by > do_sync_mapping_range(). where WB_SYNC_NONE in do_sync_mapping_range() was replaced with WB_SYNC_ALL by Nick's patch (commit: ee53a891f47444c53318b98dac947ede963db400). This fixes the problem by letting nilfs_writepages() write out the log of file data within the range if sync_mode is WB_SYNC_ALL. This involves removal of nilfs_file_aio_write() which was previously needed to ensure O_SYNC sync writes.

* nilfs2: segment constructorRyusuke Konishi2009-04-07
This adds the segment constructor (also called log writer). The segment constructor collects dirty buffers for every dirty inode, makes summaries of the buffers, assigns disk block addresses to the buffers, and then submits BIOs for the buffers.
