2009-05-22block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_sizeMartin K. Petersen
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. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2009-04-13nilfs2: fix lockdep recursive locking warning on meta data filesRyusuke Konishi
This fixes the following false detection of lockdep against nilfs meta data files: ============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 2.6.29 #26 --------------------------------------------- mount.nilfs2/4185 is trying to acquire lock: (&mi->mi_sem){----}, at: [<d0c7925b>] nilfs_sufile_get_stat+0x1e/0x105 [nilfs2] but task is already holding lock: (&mi->mi_sem){----}, at: [<d0c72026>] nilfs_count_free_blocks+0x48/0x84 [nilfs2] Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-04-07nilfs2: introduce secondary super blockRyusuke Konishi
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.

2009-04-07nilfs2: extend nilfs_sustat ioctl structRyusuke Konishi
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.

2009-04-07nilfs2: remove timedwait ioctl commandRyusuke Konishi
This removes NILFS_IOCTL_TIMEDWAIT command from ioctl interface along with the related flags and wait queue. The command is terrible because it just sleeps in the ioctl. I prefer to avoid this by devising means of event polling in userland program. By reconsidering the userland GC daemon, I found this is possible without changing behaviour of the daemon and sacrificing efficiency.

2009-04-07nilfs2: operations for the_nilfs core objectRyusuke Konishi
This adds functions on the_nilfs object, which keeps shared resources and states among a read/write mount and snapshots mounts going individually. the_nilfs is allocated per block device; it is created when user first mount a snapshot or a read/write mount on the device, then it is reused for successive mounts. It will be freed when all mount instances on the device are detached.
