nilfs2: fix regression of garbage collection ioctl

2010-12-16T05:35:18Z

On 2.6.37-rc1, garbage collection ioctl of nilfs was broken due to the commit 263d90cefc7d82a0 ("nilfs2: remove own inode hash used for GC"), and leading to filesystem corruption. The patch doesn't queue gc-inodes for log writer if they are reused through the vfs inode cache. Here, gc-inode is the inode which buffers blocks to be relocated on GC. That patch queues gc-inodes in nilfs_init_gcinode() function, but this function is not called when they don't have I_NEW flag. Thus, some of live blocks are wrongly overrode without being moved to new logs. This resolves the problem by moving the gc-inode queueing to an outer function to ensure it's done right.

nilfs2: do not allocate nilfs_mdt_info structure to gc-inodes

2010-10-23T00:24:37Z

GC-inode now doesn't need the nilfs_mdt_info structure and there is no reason that it is a sort of metadata files. This stops the allocation and makes them not dependent on metadata file routines. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

nilfs2: remove own inode hash used for GC

2010-10-23T00:24:34Z

This uses inode hash function that vfs provides instead of the own hash table for caching gc inodes. This finally removes the own inode hash from nilfs. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

nilfs2: separate initializer of metadata file inode

2010-10-23T00:24:34Z

This separates a part of initialization code of metadata file inode, and makes it available from the nilfs iget function that a later patch will add to. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

nilfs2: add read ahead mode to nilfs_btnode_submit_block

2010-07-23T01:02:15Z

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.

nilfs2: get rid of nilfs_bmap_union

2010-07-23T01:02:14Z

This removes nilfs_bmap_union and finally unifies three structures and the union in bmap/btree code into one. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

nilfs2: verify btree node after reading

2010-07-23T01:02:13Z

This inserts sanity checks soon after read btree node from disk. This allows early detection of broken btree nodes, and helps to narrow down problems due to file system corruption. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32Z

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

nilfs2: remove newblk argument from nilfs_btnode_submit_block

This removes the obsolete argument from nilfs_btnode_submit_block(). This will complete separating a create function of btree node. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
