  • 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.

  • This rewrites functions using ifile so that they get ifile from
    nilfs_root object, and will remove sbi->s_ifile. Some functions that
    don't know the root object are extended to receive it from caller.

  • This puts a pointer to nilfs_root object in the private part of
    on-memory inode, and makes nilfs_iget function pick up the inode with
    the same root object.

    Non-root inodes inherit its nilfs_root object from parent inode. That
    of the root inode is allocated through nilfs_attach_checkpoint()
    function.

  • Move the call to vmtruncate to get rid of accessive blocks to the callers
    in preparation of the new truncate sequence and rename the non-truncating
    version to block_write_begin.

    While we're at it also remove several unused arguments to block_write_begin.

  • This adds a field to record the latest checkpoint number in the
    nilfs_segment_summary structure. This will help to recover the latest
    checkpoint number from logs on disk. This field is intended for
    crucial cases in which super blocks have lost pointer to the latest
    log.

    Even though this will change the disk format, both backward and
    forward compatibility is preserved by a size field prepared in the
    segment summary header.

  • …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 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.

  • This is a trivial patch to remove unnecessary condition.

    load_segment_summary() checks crc of segment_summary OR crc of whole
    log data blocks based on boolean argument full_check. However,
    callers of the function pass only 1 as full_check, which means only
    whole log data blocks checking code is running all the time.

    This patch deletes the condition and full_check argument and also
    deletes enum 'NILFS_SEG_FAIL_CHECKSUM_SEGSUM' and corresponding case
    clause, for it is nolonger used anymore.

    So add an explicit cast to avoid this compile warning:

  • 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.

  • On-disk counters ndirtysegs and ncleansegs of sufile, can go wrong
    after roll-forward recovery because
    nilfs_prepare_segment_for_recovery() function marks segments dirty
    without adjusting value of these counters.

    This fixes the problem by adding a function to sufile which does the
    operation adjusting the counters, and by letting the recovery function
    use it.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • This adds a new argument to the nilfs_sustat structure.

    The extended field allows to delete volatile active state of segments,
    which was needed to protect freshly-created segments from garbage
    collection but has confused code dealing with segments. This
    extension alleviates the mess and gives room for further
    simplifications.

    The volatile active flag is not persistent, so it's eliminable on this
    occasion without affecting compatibility other than the ioctl change.

  • This adds recovery function on mount.

    Usually the recovery is achieved by just finding the latest super
    root. When logs without checkpoints were appended for data sync
    operations after the latest super root, the recovery function will
    perform roll forwarding and reconstruct new log(s) with a super root.
