This separates wait function for submitted logs from the write
function nilfs_segctor_write(). A new list of segment buffers
"sc_write_logs" is added to hold logs under writing, and double
buffering is partially applied to hide io latency.At this point, the double buffering is disabled for blocksize <
pagesize because page dirty flag is turned off during write and dirty
buffers are not properly collected for pages crossing over segments.To receive full benefit of the double buffering, further refinement is
needed to move the io wait outside the lock section of log writer.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

This adds a few iterator functions for segment buffers to make it easy
to handle multiple series of logs.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

Hides nilfs_write_info struct and nilfs_segbuf_prepare_write function
in segbuf.c to simplify the interface of nilfs_segbuf_write function.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
-
This moves io status variables in nilfs_write_info struct to
nilfs_segment_buffer struct.This is a preparation to hide nilfs_write_info in segment buffer code.

Previously, log writer had possibility to set an io error flag on
segments even in case of memory allocation failure.This fixes the issue.

This applies list_splice_tail (or list_splice_tail_init) operation
instead of list_splice (or list_splice_init, respectively) to append a
new list to tail of an existing list.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

Replace mark_inode_dirty() as nilfs_mark_inode_dirty()

Delete mark_inode_dirty() in nilfs_delete_entry() to reduce duplicate
mark_inode_dirty() calls both in nilfs_rename() and nilfs_delete_entry().Signed-off-by: Jiro SEKIBA

Delete mark_inode_dirty() in nilfs_commit_chunk(), for callers of
nilfs_commit_chunk() will call equivalent mark_inode_dirty()
after calling nilfs_commit_chunk().Signed-off-by: Jiro SEKIBA
Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi -
change return type of nilfs_commit_chunk() as void from int,
for nilfs_set_file_dirty() usually does not return error.This is an intermediate patch to reduce mark_inode_dirty() in
nilfs_commit_chunk().Signed-off-by: Jiro SEKIBA

Split nilfs_unlink() to reduce nested transaction and duplicate
mark_inode_dirty() calls when calling nilfs_unlink() from nilfs_rmdir().nilfs_do_unlink() is an actual unlink functionality which is not
in transaction and does not call mark_inode_dirty() for dentry argument.nilfs_unlink() is a wrapper function for do_nilfs_unlink() with
transaction and mark_inode_dirty() for dentry argument.Signed-off-by: Jiro SEKIBA

This is an intermidiate patch to reduce redandunt mark_inode_dirty() calls

Delete mark_inode_dirty() from nilfs_set_link() to reduce redundant
mark_inode_dirty() calls in caller of nilfs_set_link().Signed-off-by: Jiro SEKIBA
Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi -
It is redundant to call mark_inode_dirty() in nilfs_new_inode() because
all caller of nilfs_new_inode() will call mark_inode_dirty()
after calling nilfs_new_inode() directly or indirectly in transaction.Signed-off-by: Jiro SEKIBA

This adds "norecovery" mount option which disables temporal write
access to read-only mounts or snapshots during mount/recovery.
Without this option, write access will be even performed for those
types of mounts; the temporal write access is needed to mount root
file system read-only after an unclean shutdown.This option will be helpful when user wants to prevent any write
access to the device.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
Cc: Eric Sandeen -
This adds a helper function, nilfs_valid_fs() which returns if nilfs
is in a valid state or not.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
-
Although mount recovery of nilfs is integrated in load_nilfs()
procedure, the completion of recovery was isolated from the procedure
and performed at the end of the fill_super routine.This was somewhat confusing since the recovery is needed for the nilfs
object, not for a super block instance.To resolve the inconsistency, this will integrate the recovery
completion into load_nilfs().Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
-
This inserts readahead in the recovery code. The readahead request is
issued per segment while searching the latest super root block.This will shorten mount time after unclean unmount. A measurement
shows the recovery time was reduced by more than 60 percent:e.g. real 0m11.586s -> 0m3.918s (x 2.96)

This eliminates obsolete nilfs_get_sufile_get_segment_usage() and
nilfs_set_sufile_segment_usage() from sufile.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
-
This adds nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage() function in sufile to
replace direct access to the sufile metadata in log writer code.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
-
This adds nilfs_sufile_mark_dirty() function in sufile to replace
nilfs_touch_segusage() function in log writer code. This is a
preparation for the further cleanup which will move out low level
sufile operations in the log writer.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

This implements cache operation in get block routines of palloc code:
nilfs_palloc_get_desc_block(), nilfs_palloc_get_bitmap_block(), and
nilfs_palloc_get_entry_block().This will complete the palloc cache.
Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
-
This adds the palloc cache to ifile. The palloc cache is allocated on
the extended region of nilfs_mdt_info struct. The struct
nilfs_ifile_info defines the extended on memory structure of ifile.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
-
Data pages in gcdat metadata file (i.e. the secondary DAT for GC), are
cleared or even moved back to the normal DAT when a shot of garbage
collection was done.Buffer heads held by the palloc cache of gcdat must be cleared before
these page cache manipulation. This adds nilfs_palloc_clear_cache()
to ensure this.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
-
This adds the palloc cache to DAT file. The palloc cache is allocated
on the extended region of nilfs_mdt_info struct. The struct
nilfs_dat_info defines the extended on memory structure of DAT.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
-
This adds setup and cleanup routines of the persistent object
allocator cache.According to ftrace analyses, accessing buffers of the DAT file
suffers indispensable overhead many times. To mitigate the overhead,
This introduce cache framework for the persistent object allocator
(palloc) which the DAT file and ifile are using.struct nilfs_palloc_cache represents the cache object per metadata
file using palloc.The cache is initialized through nilfs_palloc_setup_cache() and
destroyed by nilfs_palloc_destroy_cache(); callers of the former
function will be added to individual allocators of DAT and ifile on
successive patches.nilfs_palloc_destroy_cache() will be called from nilfs_mdt_destroy()
if the cache is attached to a metadata file. A companion function
nilfs_palloc_clear_cache() is provided to allow releasing buffer head
references independently with the cleanup task. This adjunctive
function will be used before invalidating pages of metadata file with
the cache.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

This expands a trivial address calculation in the function into its

This removes the obsolete nilfs_btnode_get() function and makes
nilfs_btree_get_block() directly call nilfs_btnode_submit_block().This expansion will provide better opportunity for code optimization.

Adds a separate routine for creating a btree node block. This is a

This turns off readhead action of metadata file if nilfs_mdt_get_block
function was called with a create flag.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
-
Previously, this function took an status code to return possible error
codes. The ("nilfs2: add local variable to cache the number of clean
segments") patch removed the possibility to return errors.So, this simplifies the function definition to make it directly return
the number of clean segments.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

This makes it possible for sufile to get the number of clean segments
faster.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

This will hide a function call of nilfs_mdt_clear() in
nilfs_mdt_destroy().This ensures nilfs_mdt_destroy() to do cleanup jobs included in
nilfs_mdt_clear().Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

Removes two inline functions: nilfs_mdt_read_inode_direct() and
nilfs_mdt_write_inode_direct().Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
-
Will displace nilfs_mdt_read_inode_direct function with an individual
read method: nilfs_dat_read, nilfs_sufile_read, nilfs_cpfile_read.This provides the opportunity to initialize local variables of each
metadata file after reading the inode.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
-
This will displace nilfs_mdt_new() constructor with individual
metadata file constructors like nilfs_dat_new(), new_sufile_new(),
nilfs_cpfile_new(), and nilfs_ifile_new().This makes it possible for each metadata file to have own
intialization code.Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
