This replaces nilfs_mdt_mark_buffer_dirty and nilfs_btnode_mark_dirty
macros with mark_buffer_dirty and gets rid of nilfs_mark_buffer_dirty,
an own mark buffer dirty function.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

This replaces all references of NILFS_I_NILFS(inode)->ns_bdev with
inode->i_sb->s_bdev and unfolds remaining uses of NILFS_I_NILFS inline
function.Before 2.6.37, referring to a nilfs object from inodes needed a
conditional judgement, and NILFS_I_NILFS was helpful to simplify it.
But now we can simply do it by going through a super block instance
like inode->i_sb->s_fs_info.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging,
and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that.
So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page().Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

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.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

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

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

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

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.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

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

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

…it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
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 allmodconfig8. 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.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

This adds an optional "object size" argument to nilfs_mdt_new_common()
function; the argument specifies the size of private object attached
to a newly allocated metadata file inode.This will afford space to keep local variables for meta data files.

This applies block_sync_page() function to the sync_page method of
page caches for meta data files, gc page caches, and btree node
buffers. This is a companion patch of ("nilfs2: enable sync_page
mothod") which applied the function for data pages.This allows lock_page() for those meta data to unplug pending bio
requests.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

After a review of user's feedback for finding out other compatibility
issues, I found nilfs improperly initializes timestamps in inode;
CURRENT_TIME was used there instead of CURRENT_TIME_SEC even though nilfs
didn't have nanosecond timestamps on disk. A few users gave us the report
that the tar program sometimes failed to expand symbolic links on nilfs,
and it turned out to be the cause.Instead of applying the above displacement, I've decided to support
nanosecond timestamps on this occation. Fortunetaly, a needless 64-bit
field was in the nilfs_inode struct, and I found it's available for this
purpose without impact for the users.So, this will do the enhancement and resolve the tar problem.

gcinodes), and this file provides lookup function of the dummy inodes,
