At present, the same warning message can be output twice when nilfs
detected a problem on super blocks:NILFS warning: broken superblock. using spare superblock.
NILFS warning: broken superblock. using spare superblock.
...This is because these super blocks are reloaded with the block size
written in a super block if it differs from the first block size, but
this repetition looks somewhat confusing. So, we hint at what is
going on by appending block size information to those messages.Reported-by: Wakko Warner

nilfs_dat_inode function was a wrapper to switch between normal dat
inode and gcdat, a clone of the dat inode for garbage collection.This function got obsolete when the gcdat inode was removed, and now
we can access the dat inode directly from a nilfs object. So, we will
unfold the wrapper and remove it.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

Nilfs now can use sb->s_bdi to get backing_dev_info, so we use it
instead of ns_bdi on the nilfs object and remove ns_bdi.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
-
Nilfs object holds a back pointer to a writable super block instance
in nilfs->ns_writer, and this became eliminable since sb is now made
per device and all inodes have a valid pointer to it.This deletes the ns_writer pointer and a reader/writer semaphore
protecting it.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
-
After applied the patch that unified sb instances, root dentry of
snapshots can be left in dcache even after their trees are unmounted.The orphan root dentry/inode keeps a root object, and this causes
false positive of nilfs_checkpoint_is_mounted function.This resolves the issue by having nilfs_checkpoint_is_mounted test
whether the root dentry is busy or not.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

This stops pre-allocating nilfs object in nilfs_get_sb routine, and
stops managing its life cycle by reference counting.nilfs_find_or_create_nilfs() function, nilfs->ns_mount_mutex,
nilfs_objects list, and the reference counter will be removed through
the simplification.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

This stops allocating multiple super block instances for a device.
All snapshots and a current mode mount (i.e. latest tree) will be
controlled with nilfs_root objects that are kept within an sb
instance.nilfs_get_sb() is rewritten so that it always has a root object for
the latest tree and snapshots make additional root objects.The root dentry of the latest tree is binded to sb->s_root even if it
isn't attached on a directory. Root dentries of snapshots or the
latest tree are binded to mnt->mnt_root on which they are mounted.With this patch, nilfs_find_sbinfo() function, nilfs->ns_supers list,
and nilfs->ns_current back pointer, are deleted. In addition,
init_nilfs() and load_nilfs() are simplified since they will be called
once for a device, not repeatedly called for mount points.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

This rewrites nilfs_checkpoint_is_mounted() function so that it
decides whether a checkpoint is mounted by whether the corresponding
root object is found in checkpoint tree.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
-
To hold multiple versions of a filesystem in one sb instance, a new
on-memory structure is necessary to handle one or more checkpoints.This adds a red-black tree of checkpoints to nilfs object, and adds
lookup and create functions for them.Each checkpoint is represented by "nilfs_root" structure, and this
structure has rb_node to configure the rb-tree.The nilfs_root object is identified with a checkpoint number. For
each snapshot, a nilfs_root object is allocated and the checkpoint
number of snapshot is assigned to it. For a regular mount
(i.e. current mode mount), NILFS_CPTREE_CURRENT_CNO constant is
assigned to the corresponding nilfs_root object.Each nilfs_root object has an ifile inode and some counters. These
items will displace those of nilfs_sb_info structure in successive
patches.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

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

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

All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous
caller. To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs
to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous
state machine ahead. So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always
specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags
argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout. For
blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which
gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

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

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

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
-
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
-
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
-
This separates a setup routine of log cursor from init_nilfs(). The
routine, nilfs_store_log_cursor, reads the last position of the log
containing a super root, and initializes relevant state on the nilfs
object.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
-
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.Signed-off-by: Jiro SEKIBA

Most functions in recovery code take an argument of a super block

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
