  • bloc->logicalBlockNum is unsigned so it's never less than zero.

    When I saw that, it made me worry that "bloc->logicalBlockNum + count"
    could overflow. That's why I changed the check for less than zero
    to an overflow check. (The test works because "count" is also
    unsigned.)

  • …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.

  • Writing of inode holding unallocated space info was broken because we first
    cleared the buffer and after that checked whether it contains a tag meaning the
    block holds unallocated space information. Fix the problem by checking
    appropriate in memory flag instead.

    Also cleanup the function a bit along the way - most importantly lock buffer
    when modifying its contents, check for buffer_write_io_error instead of
    !buffer_uptodate, etc..

  • This gives the filesystem more information about the writeback that
    is happening. Trond requested this for the NFS unstable write handling,
    and other filesystems might benefit from this too by beeing able to

  • Get rid of the initialize dquot operation - it is now always called from

    currently does) it can just call into it's own routine directly.

  • Currently various places in the VFS call vfs_dq_init directly. This means
    we tie the quota code into the VFS. Get rid of that and make the
    filesystem responsible for the initialization. For most metadata operations
    this is a straight forward move into the methods, but for truncate and
    open it's a bit more complicated.

    For truncate we currently only call vfs_dq_init for the sys_truncate case
    because open already takes care of it for ftruncate and open(O_TRUNC) - the
    new code causes an additional vfs_dq_init for those which is harmless.

    For open the initialization is moved from do_filp_open into the open method,
    which means it happens slightly earlier now, and only for regular files.
    The latter is fine because we don't need to initialize it for operations
    on special files, and we already do it as part of the namespace operations
    for directories.

    Add a dquot_file_open helper that filesystems that support generic quotas
    can use to fill in ->open.

  • It is not very good to do IO in udf_clear_inode. First, VFS does not really
    expect inode to become dirty there and thus we have to write it ourselves,
    second, memory reclaim gets blocked waiting for IO when it does not really
    expect it, third, the IO pattern (e.g. on umount) resulting from writes in
    udf_clear_inode is bad and it slows down writing a lot.

    The reason why UDF needed to do IO in udf_clear_inode is that UDF standard
    mandates extent length to exactly match inode size. But when we allocate
    extents to a file or directory, we don't really know what exactly the final
    file size will be and thus temporarily set it to block boundary and later
    truncate it to exact length in udf_clear_inode. Now, this is changed to
    truncate to final file size in udf_release_file for regular files. For
    directories and symlinks, we do the truncation at the moment when learn
    what the final file size will be.

  • Some disks do not contain VAT inode in the last recorded block as required

  • When we close a file, we remove preallocated blocks from it. But this

  • So far we preallocated blocks also for directories but that brings a
    problem, when to get rid of preallocated blocks we don't need. So far
    we removed them in udf_clear_inode() which has a disadvantage that
    1) blocks are unavailable long after writing to a directory finished
    and thus one can get out of space unnecessarily early
    2) releasing blocks from udf_clear_inode is problematic because VFS
    does not expect us to redirty inode there and it also slows down
    memory reclaim.

    So preallocate blocks only for regular files where we can drop preallocation
    in udf_release_file.

  • Move BKL into ->put_super from the only caller. A couple of
    filesystems had trivial enough ->put_super (only kfree and NULLing of
    s_fs_info + stuff in there) to not get any locking: coda, cramfs, efs,
    hugetlbfs, omfs, qnx4, shmem, all others got the full treatment. Most
    of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually.
    Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.

    [AV: original used to move lock_super() down as well; these changes are
    removed since we don't do lock_super() at all in generic_shutdown_super()
    now]

  • Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
    block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
    With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The
    sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
    512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
    and the logical ditto.

    This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

  • We update information in logical volume integrity descriptor after each
    allocation (as LVID contains free space, number of directories and files on
    disk etc.). If the filesystem is on some phase change media, this leads to its
    quick degradation as such media is able to handle only 10000 overwrites or so.
    We solve the problem by writing new information into LVID only on umount,
    remount-ro and sync. This solves the problem at the price of longer media
    inconsistency (previously media became consistent after pdflush flushed dirty
    LVID buffer) but that should be acceptable.

  • Anchor block can be located at several places on the medium. Two of the
    locations are relative to media end which is problematic to detect. Also
    some drives report some block as last but are not able to read it or any
    block nearby before it. So let's first try block 256 and if it is all fine,
    don't look at other possible locations of anchor blocks to avoid IO errors.
    This change required a larger reorganization of code but the new code is
    hopefully more readable and definitely shorter.
