  • 09cbfeaf1   mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros ... Browse Code »

    PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
    ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
    cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

    This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.

    We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
    PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
    PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
    especially on the border between fs and mm.

    Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
    breakage to be doable.

    Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
    not.

    The changes are pretty straight-forward:

    - << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;

    - >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;

    - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

    - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

    - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

    This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
    script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
    I've called spatch for them manually.

    The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
    PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

    There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
    fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
    will be addressed with the separate patch.

  • 846b730e9   Squashfs: Generalise paging handling in the decompressors ... Browse Code »

    Further generalise the decompressors by adding a page handler
    abstraction. This adds helpers to allow the decompressors
    to access and process the output buffers in an implementation
    independant manner.

    This allows different types of output buffer to be passed
    to the decompressors, with the implementation specific
    aspects handled at decompression time, but without the
    knowledge being held in the decompressor wrapper code.

    This will allow the decompressors to handle Squashfs
    cache buffers, and page cache pages.

    This patch adds the abstraction and an implementation for
    the caches.

  • 9508c6b90   Squashfs: Refactor decompressor interface and code ... Browse Code »

    The decompressor interface and code was written from
    the point of view of single-threaded operation. In doing
    so it mixed a lot of single-threaded implementation specific
    aspects into the decompressor code and elsewhere which makes it
    difficult to seamlessly support multiple different decompressor
    implementations.

    This patch does the following:

    1. It removes compressor_options parsing from the decompressor
    init() function. This allows the decompressor init() function
    to be dynamically called to instantiate multiple decompressors,
    without the compressor options needing to be read and parsed each
    time.

    2. It moves threading and all sleeping operations out of the
    decompressors. In doing so, it makes the decompressors
    non-blocking wrappers which only deal with interfacing with
    the decompressor implementation.

    3. It splits decompressor.[ch] into decompressor generic functions
    in decompressor.[ch], and moves the single threaded
    decompressor implementation into decompressor_single.c.

    The result of this patch is Squashfs should now be able to
    support multiple decompressors by adding new decompressor_xxx.c
    files with specialised implementations of the functions in
    decompressor_single.c

  • 3689456b4   squashfs: fix use of uninitialised variable in zlib & xz decompressors ... Browse Code »

    Fix potential use of uninitialised variable caused by recent
    decompressor code optimisations.

    In zlib_uncompress (zlib_wrapper.c) we have

    int zlib_err, zlib_init = 0;
    ...
    do {
    ...
    if (avail == 0) {
    offset = 0;
    put_bh(bh[k++]);
    continue;
    }
    ...
    zlib_err = zlib_inflate(stream, Z_SYNC_FLUSH);
    ...
    } while (zlib_err == Z_OK);

    If continue is executed (avail == 0) then the while condition will be
    evaluated testing zlib_err, which is uninitialised first time around the
    loop.

    Fix this by getting rid of the 'if (avail == 0)' condition test, this
    edge condition should not be being handled in the decompressor code, and
    instead handle it generically in the caller code.

    Similarly for xz_wrapper.c.

    Incidentally, on most architectures (bar Mips and Parisc), no
    uninitialised variable warning is generated by gcc, this is because the
    while condition test on continue is optimised out and not performed
    (when executing continue zlib_err has not been changed since entering
    the loop, and logically if the while condition was true previously, then
    it's still true).

  • e0d1f7001   squashfs: fix potential buffer over-run on 4K block file systems ... Browse Code »

    Sizing the buffer based on block size is incorrect, leading
    to a potential buffer over-run on 4K block size file systems
    (because the metadata block size is always 8K). This bug
    doesn't seem have triggered because 4K block size file systems
    are not default, and also because metadata blocks after
    compression tend to be less than 4K.

  • 363911d02   Squashfs: Valid filesystems are flagged as bad by the corrupted fs patch ... Browse Code »

    The corrupted filesystem patch added a check against zlib trying to
    output too much data in the presence of data corruption. This check
    triggered if zlib_inflate asked to be called again (Z_OK) with
    avail_out == 0 and no more output buffers available. This check proves
    to be rather dumb, as it incorrectly catches the case where zlib has
    generated all the output, but there are still input bytes to be processed.

    This patch does a number of things. It removes the original check and
    replaces it with code to not move to the next output buffer if there
    are no more output buffers available, relying on zlib to error if it
    wants an extra output buffer in the case of data corruption. It
    also replaces the Z_NO_FLUSH flag with the more correct Z_SYNC_FLUSH
    flag, and makes the error messages more understandable to
    non-technical users.
