2011-03-09nilfs2: get rid of nilfs_sb_info structureRyusuke Konishi
This directly uses sb->s_fs_info to keep a nilfs filesystem object and fully removes the intermediate nilfs_sb_info structure. With this change, the hierarchy of on-memory structures of nilfs will be simplified as follows: Before: super_block -> nilfs_sb_info -> the_nilfs -> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system) +-> nilfs_root (snapshot A) +-> nilfs_root (snapshot B) : -> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure) After: super_block -> the_nilfs -> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system) +-> nilfs_root (snapshot A) +-> nilfs_root (snapshot B) : -> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure) The reason why we didn't design so from the beginning is because the initial shape also differed from the above. The early hierachy was composed of "per-mount-point" super_block -> nilfs_sb_info pairs and a shared nilfs object. On the kernel 2.6.37, it was changed to the current shape in order to unify super block instances into one per device, and this cleanup became applicable as the result.

2011-03-08nilfs2: record used amount of each checkpoint in checkpoint listRyusuke Konishi
This records the number of used blocks per checkpoint in each checkpoint entry of cpfile. Even though userland tools can get the block count via nilfs_get_cpinfo ioctl, it was not updated by the nilfs2 kernel code. This fixes the issue and makes it available for userland tools to calculate used amount per checkpoint. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp> Cc: Jiro SEKIBA <jir@unicus.jp>
2011-03-08nilfs2: tighten restrictions on inode flagsRyusuke Konishi
Nilfs has few rectrictions on which flags may be set on which inodes like ext2/3/4 filesystems used to be. Specifically DIRSYNC may only be set on directories and IMMUTABLE and APPEND may not be set on links. Tighten that to disallow TOPDIR being set on non-directories and only NODUMP and NOATIME to be set on non-regular file, non-directories. This introduces a flags masking function like those of extN and uses it during inode creation. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2011-03-08nilfs2: mark S_NOATIME on inodes only if NOATIME attribute is setRyusuke Konishi
At present, nilfs marks S_NOATIME flag on all inodes. This restricts nilfs_set_inode_flags function so that it marks S_NOATIME only if a given inode has an FS_NOATIME_FL flag. Although nilfs does not support atime yet, touch_atime() still safely returns on IS_NOATIME check since MS_NOATIME is always set on sb. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

2011-03-08nilfs2: decrement inodes count only if raw inode was successfully deletedRyusuke Konishi

2011-01-10nilfs2: unfold nilfs_dat_inode functionRyusuke Konishi
nilfs_dat_inode function was a wrapper to switch between normal dat inode and gcdat, a clone of the dat inode for garbage collection. This function got obsolete when the gcdat inode was removed, and now we can access the dat inode directly from a nilfs object. So, we will unfold the wrapper and remove it.

2011-01-10nilfs2: do not pass sbi to functions which can get it from inodeRyusuke Konishi
This removes argument for passing nilfs_sb_info structure from nilfs_set_file_dirty and nilfs_load_inode_block functions. We can get a pointer to the structure from inodes.

2011-01-10nilfs2: fiemap supportRyusuke Konishi
This adds fiemap to nilfs. Two new functions, nilfs_fiemap and nilfs_find_uncommitted_extent are added. nilfs_fiemap() implements the fiemap inode operation, and nilfs_find_uncommitted_extent() helps to get a range of data blocks whose physical location has not been determined. nilfs_fiemap() collects extent information by looping through nilfs_bmap_lookup_contig and nilfs_find_uncommitted_extent routines.

2011-01-10nilfs2: mark buffer heads as delayed until the data is written to diskRyusuke Konishi
Nilfs does not allocate new blocks on disk until they are actually written to. To implement fiemap, we need to deal with such blocks. To allow successive fiemap patch to distinguish mapped but unallocated regions, this marks buffer heads of those new blocks as delayed and clears the flag after the blocks are written to disk.

2011-01-10nilfs2: call nilfs_error inside bmap routinesRyusuke Konishi
Some functions using nilfs bmap routines can wrongly return invalid argument error (i.e. -EINVAL) that bmap returns as an internal code for btree corruption. This fixes the issue by catching and converting the internal EINVAL to EIO and calling nilfs_error function inside bmap routines. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

2010-10-23nilfs2: see state of root dentry for mount check of snapshotsRyusuke Konishi
After applied the patch that unified sb instances, root dentry of snapshots can be left in dcache even after their trees are unmounted. The orphan root dentry/inode keeps a root object, and this causes false positive of nilfs_checkpoint_is_mounted function. This resolves the issue by having nilfs_checkpoint_is_mounted test whether the root dentry is busy or not. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

2010-10-23nilfs2: deny write access to inodes in snapshotsRyusuke Konishi
Snapshots of nilfs are read-only. After super block instances (sb) will be unified, nilfs will need to check write access by a way other than implicit test with IS_RDONLY(inode). This is because IS_RDONLY() refers to MS_RDONLY bit of inode->i_sb->s_flags and it will become inaccurate after the unification of sb. To prepare for the issue, this uses i_op->permission to deny write access to inodes in snapshots. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

2010-10-23nilfs2: set pointer to root object in inodesRyusuke Konishi
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.

Replace inode_setattr with opencoded variants of it in all callers. This moves the remaining call to vmtruncate into the filesystem methods where it can be replaced with the proper truncate sequence. In a few cases it was obvious that we would never end up calling vmtruncate so it was left out in the opencoded variant: spufs: explicitly checks for ATTR_SIZE earlier btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier ufs: contains an opencoded simple_seattr + truncate that sets the filesize just above In addition to that ncpfs called inode_setattr with handcrafted iattrs, which allowed to trim down the opencoded variant.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit 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.

2009-11-20nilfs2: move out mark_inode_dirty calls from bmap routinesRyusuke Konishi
Previously, nilfs_bmap_add_blocks() and nilfs_bmap_sub_blocks() called mark_inode_dirty() after they changed the number of data blocks. This moves these calls outside bmap outermost functions like nilfs_bmap_insert() or nilfs_bmap_truncate(). This will mitigate overhead for truncate or delete operation since they repeatedly remove set of blocks. Nearly 10 percent improvement was observed for removal of a large file: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/test/aaa bs=1M count=512 # time rm /test/aaa real 2.968s -> 2.705s Further optimization may be possible by eliminating these mark_inode_dirty() uses though I avoid mixing separate changes here.

2009-06-10NILFS2: Pagecache usage optimization on NILFS2Hisashi Hifumi
Hi, I introduced "is_partially_uptodate" aops for NILFS2. A page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate on pagesize != blocksize environment. This aops checks that all buffers which correspond to a part of a file that we want to read are uptodate. If so, we do not have to issue actual read IO to HDD even if a page is not uptodate because the portion we want to read are uptodate. "block_is_partially_uptodate" function is already used by ext2/3/4. With the following patch random read/write mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads can be optimized and we can get performance improvement. I did a performance test using the sysbench. 1 --file-block-size=8K --file-total-size=2G --file-test-mode=rndrw --file-fsync-freq=0 --fil e-rw-ratio=1 run -2.6.30-rc5 Test execution summary: total time: 151.2907s total number of events: 200000 total time taken by event execution: 2409.8387 per-request statistics: min: 0.0000s avg: 0.0120s max: 0.9306s approx. 95 percentile: 0.0439s Threads fairness: events (avg/stddev): 12500.0000/238.52 execution time (avg/stddev): 150.6149/0.01 -2.6.30-rc5-patched Test execution summary: total time: 140.8828s total number of events: 200000 total time taken by event execution: 2240.8577 per-request statistics: min: 0.0000s avg: 0.0112s max: 0.8750s approx. 95 percentile: 0.0418s Threads fairness: events (avg/stddev): 12500.0000/218.43 execution time (avg/stddev): 140.0536/0.01 arch: ia64 pagesize: 16k Thanks.

2009-04-07nilfs2: support nanosecond timestampRyusuke 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.

2009-04-07nilfs2: avoid double error caused by nilfs_transaction_endRyusuke Konishi
Pekka Enberg pointed out that double error handlings found after nilfs_transaction_end() can be avoided by separating abort operation: OK, I don't understand this. The only way nilfs_transaction_end() can fail is if we have NILFS_TI_SYNC set and we fail to construct the segment. But why do we want to construct a segment if we don't commit? I guess what I'm asking is why don't we have a separate nilfs_transaction_abort() function that can't fail for the erroneous case to avoid this double error value tracking thing? This does the separation and renames nilfs_transaction_end() to nilfs_transaction_commit() for clarification. Since, some calls of these functions were used just for exclusion control against the segment constructor, they are replaced with semaphore operations.

This fixes the problem by letting nilfs_writepages() write out the log of file data within the range if sync_mode is WB_SYNC_ALL. This involves removal of nilfs_file_aio_write() which was previously needed to ensure O_SYNC sync writes.
