2011-05-13UBIFS: introduce a separate structure for budgeting infoArtem Bityutskiy
This patch separates out all the budgeting-related information from 'struct ubifs_info' to 'struct ubifs_budg_info'. This way the code looks a bit cleaner. However, the main driver for this is that we want to save budgeting information and print it later, so a separate data structure for this is helpful. This patch is a preparation for the further debugging output improvements. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2011-04-05UBIFS: do not read flash unnecessarilyArtem Bityutskiy
This fix makes the 'dbg_check_old_index()' function return immediately if debugging is disabled, instead of executing incorrect 'goto out' which causes UBIFS to: 1. Allocate memory 2. Read the flash On every commit. OK, we do not commit that often, but it is still silly to do unneeded I/O anyway. Credits to coverity for spotting this silly issue.

2011-01-25UBIFS: do not start the commit if there is nothing to commitArtem Bityutskiy
This patch fixes suboptimal UBIFS 'sync_fs()' implementation which causes flash I/O even if the file-system is synchronized. E.g., a 'printk()' in the MTD erasure function (e.g., 'nand_erase_nand()') can show that for every 'sync' shell command UBIFS erases at least one eraseblock. So '$ while true; do sync; done' will cause huge amount of flash I/O. The reason for this is that UBIFS commits in 'sync_fs()', and starts the commit even if there is nothing to commit, e.g., it anyway changes the log. This patch adds a check in the 'do_commit()' UBIFS functions which prevents the commit if there is nothing to commit. Reported-by: Hans J.

2010-09-19UBIFS: introduce new flags for RO mountsArtem Bityutskiy
Commit 2fde99cb55fb9d9b88180512a5e8a5d939d27fec "UBIFS: mark VFS SB RO too" introduced regression. This commit made UBIFS set the 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS superblock when it switches to R/O mode due to an error. This was done to make VFS show the R/O UBIFS flag in /proc/mounts. However, several places in UBIFS relied on the 'MS_RDONLY' flag and assume this flag can only change when we re-mount. For example, 'ubifs_put_super()'. This patch introduces new UBIFS flag - 'c->ro_mount' which changes only when we re-mount, and preserves the way UBIFS was originally mounted (R/W or R/O). This allows us to de-initialize UBIFS cleanly in 'ubifs_put_super()'. This patch also changes all 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)' assertions to 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media && !c->ro_mount)', because we never should write anything if the FS was mounter R/O. All the places where we test for 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS SB were changed and now we test the 'c->ro_mount' flag instead, because it preserves the original UBIFS mount type, unlike the 'MS_RDONLY' flag.

2010-09-17UBIFS: introduce new flag for RO due to errorsArtem Bityutskiy
The R/O state may have various reasons: 1. The UBI volume is R/O 2. The FS is mounted R/O 3. The FS switched to R/O mode because of an error However, in UBIFS we have only one variable which represents cases 1 and 3 - 'c->ro_media'. Indeed, we set this to 1 if we switch to R/O mode due to an error, and then we test it in many places to make sure that we stop writing as soon as the error happens. But this is very unclean. One consequence of this, for example, is that in 'ubifs_remount_fs()' we use 'c->ro_media' to check whether we are in R/O mode because on an error, and we print a message in this case. However, if we are in R/O mode because the media is R/O, our message is bogus. This patch introduces new flag - 'c->ro_error' which is set when we switch to R/O mode because of an error. It also changes all "if (c->ro_media)" checks to "if (c->ro_error)" checks, because this is what the checks actually mean. We do not need to check for 'c->ro_media' because if the UBI volume is in R/O mode, we do not allow R/W mounting, and now writes can happen. This is guaranteed by VFS. But it is good to double-check this, so this patch also adds many "ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)" checks. In the 'ubifs_remount_fs()' function this patch makes a bit more changes - it fixes the error messages as well. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
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.

2008-11-06UBIFS: remove printkArtem Bityutskiy
Remove the "UBIFS background thread ubifs_bgd0_0 started" message. We kill the background thread when we switch to R/O mode, and start it again whan we switch to R/W mode. OLPC is doing this many times during boot, and we see this message many times as well, which is irritating. So just kill the message. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
