* nilfs2: accept future revisionsRyusuke Konishi2010-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Compatibility of nilfs partitions is now managed with three feature sets. This changes old compatibility check with revision number so that it can accept future revisions. Note that we can stop support of experimental versions of nilfs that doesn't know the feature sets by incrementing NILFS_CURRENT_REV. We don't have to do it soon, but it would be a possible option whenever the need arises. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* nilfs2: fix leak of shadow dat inode in error path of load_nilfsRyusuke Konishi2010-08-29

* nilfs2: fix false warning saying one of two super blocks is brokenRyusuke Konishi2010-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* nilfs2: reject filesystem with unsupported block sizeRyusuke Konishi2010-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* nilfs2: reject incompatible filesystemRyusuke Konishi2010-07-22
| | | | | | | | This forces nilfs to check compatibility of feature flags so as to reject a filesystem with unknown features when it mounts or remounts the filesystem. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* nilfs2: do not update log cursor for small changeRyusuke Konishi2010-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* nilfs2: implement fallback for super root searchRyusuke Konishi2010-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* nilfs2: separate setup of log cursor from init_nilfsRyusuke Konishi2010-07-22

* nilfs2: sync super blocks in turnsJiro SEKIBA2010-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * nilfs2: use checkpoint number instead of timestamp to select super blockRyusuke Konishi2010-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nilfs maintains two super blocks, and selects the new one on mount time if they both have valid checksums and their timestamps differ. However, this has potential for mis-selection since the system clock may be rewinded and the resolution of the timestamps is not high. Usually this doesn't become an issue because both super blocks are updated at the same time when the file system is unmounted. Even if the file system wasn't unmounted cleanly, the roll-forward recovery will find the proper log which stores the latest super root. Thus, the issue can appear only if update of one super block fails and the clock happens to be rewinded. This fixes the issue by using checkpoint numbers instead of timestamps to pick the super block storing the location of the latest log. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

Even though nilfs accesses other superblock instances during mount or remount, the mount state was not properly protected in nilfs_remount().

With this change, bd_mount_sem use is removed from nilfs_remount() and the lock order reversal will be resolved. And the new rw-semaphore, nilfs->ns_super_sem will properly protect the mount state except the modification from nilfs_error function.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
