2015-06-23fs: cleanup slight list_entry abuseRasmus Villemoes
list_entry is just a wrapper for container_of, but it is arguably wrong (and slightly confusing) to use it when the pointed-to struct member is not a struct list_head.

2014-03-13fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()Theodore Ts'o
Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied, unconditional syncfs(). This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful, except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting remounted read-only. However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are actually depending on this behavior. In most file systems, it's probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something like romfs).

2013-11-20Squashfs: Directly decompress into the page cache for file dataPhillip Lougher
This introduces an implementation of squashfs_readpage_block() that directly decompresses into the page cache. This uses the previously added page handler abstraction to push down the necessary kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic operations on the page cache buffers into the decompressors. This enables direct copying into the page cache without using the slow kmap/kunmap calls. The code detects when multiple threads are racing in squashfs_readpage() to decompress the same block, and avoids this regression by falling back to using an intermediate buffer. This patch enhances the performance of Squashfs significantly when multiple processes are accessing the filesystem simultaneously because it not only reduces memcopying, but it more importantly eliminates the lock contention on the intermediate buffer. Using single-thread decompression. dd if=file1 of=/dev/null bs=4096 & dd if=file2 of=/dev/null bs=4096 & dd if=file3 of=/dev/null bs=4096 & dd if=file4 of=/dev/null bs=4096 Before: 629145600 bytes (629 MB) copied, 45.8046 s, 13.7 MB/s After: 629145600 bytes (629 MB) copied, 9.29414 s, 67.7 MB/s Signed-off-by: Phillip Lougher <phillip@squashfs.org.uk> Reviewed-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>

2013-11-20Squashfs: Generalise paging handling in the decompressorsPhillip Lougher
Further generalise the decompressors by adding a page handler abstraction. This adds helpers to allow the decompressors to access and process the output buffers in an implementation independant manner. This allows different types of output buffer to be passed to the decompressors, with the implementation specific aspects handled at decompression time, but without the knowledge being held in the decompressor wrapper code. This will allow the decompressors to handle Squashfs cache buffers, and page cache pages. This patch adds the abstraction and an implementation for the caches.

2013-11-20Squashfs: Refactor decompressor interface and codePhillip Lougher
The decompressor interface and code was written from the point of view of single-threaded operation. In doing so it mixed a lot of single-threaded implementation specific aspects into the decompressor code and elsewhere which makes it difficult to seamlessly support multiple different decompressor implementations. This patch does the following: 1. It removes compressor_options parsing from the decompressor init() function. This allows the decompressor init() function to be dynamically called to instantiate multiple decompressors, without the compressor options needing to be read and parsed each time. 2. It moves threading and all sleeping operations out of the decompressors. In doing so, it makes the decompressors non-blocking wrappers which only deal with interfacing with the decompressor implementation. 3. It splits decompressor.[ch] into decompressor generic functions in decompressor.[ch], and moves the single threaded decompressor implementation into decompressor_single.c. The result of this patch is Squashfs should now be able to support multiple decompressors by adding new decompressor_xxx.c files with specialised implementations of the functions in decompressor_single.c Signed-off-by: Phillip Lougher <phillip@squashfs.org.uk> Reviewed-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>

It, however, sets err to -EINVAL, this value is not used later, and so setting it is completely redundant. So remove it. Errors in reading the index are deliberately non-fatal.

As it is, we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of struct file we used to have way back). A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives, disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file leak. - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have). - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and switch of fdinfo to seq_file. - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to take that commit than mess with conflicts.

2012-03-10Squashfs: add mount time sanity check for block_size and block_log matchPhillip Lougher
Squashfs currently has a sanity check for block_size less than or equal to the maximum block_size (1 Mbyte). This catches some superblock corruption, but obviously with a block_size maximum of 1 Mbyte there's 7 correct values (4K, 8K, 16K, 32K, ... etc) and a lot of incorrect values which are not caught by this check. The Squashfs superblock, however, has both a block_size and a block_log (2^block_log == block_size). Checking that the block_size matches the block_log is a much more robust check. Corruption of the superblock is unlikely to produce values which match, and it also ensures the block_size is an exact power of two. Signed-off-by: Phillip Lougher <phillip@squashfs.org.uk>

2012-01-03Squashfs: fix i_blocks calculation with extended regular filesPhillip Lougher
The le64_to_cpu() forces the calculation to be unsigned, with the effect that it can underflow leading to an incorrect large value. This bug only triggers in rare(ish) circumstances, an empty file encoded as an extended regular file or a completely sparse file. Normally empty files are encoded as a regular file rather than as an extended regular file (and the regular file i_blocks calculation doesn't have this bug). To save space regular file inodes are optimised to encode the most commonly occurring files. Less common regular files are encoded using extended regular file inodes which contain extra information. Empty files with nlinks greater than 1, and or empty files with extended attributes are encoded using extended regular file inodes and they will hit this bug.

2011-11-02Squashfs: Add an option to set dev block size to 4KPhillip Lougher
This commit adds an option to set the device block size used to 4K. By default Squashfs sets the device block size (sb_min_blocksize) to 1K or the smallest block size supported by the block device (if larger). This, because blocks are packed together and unaligned in Squashfs, should reduce latency. This, however, gives poor performance on MTD NAND devices where the optimal I/O size is 4K (even though the devices can support smaller block sizes). Using a 4K device block size may also improve overall I/O performance for some file access patterns (e.g. sequential accesses of files in filesystem order) on all media.
