* fs: pass exact type of data dirties to ->dirty_inodeChristoph Hellwig2011-05-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not. This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet. I plan to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid tree interdependencies. Also remove incorrect comments that ->dirty_inode can't block. That has been changed a long time ago, and many implementations rely on it.

* nilfs2: always set back pointer to host inode in mapping->hostRyusuke Konishi2011-05-101-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | In the current nilfs, page cache for btree nodes and meta data files do not set a valid back pointer to the host inode in mapping->host. This will change it so that every address space in nilfs uses mapping->host to hold its host inode. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

* nilfs2: get rid of nilfs_sb_info structureRyusuke Konishi2011-03-091-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* nilfs2: tighten restrictions on inode flagsRyusuke Konishi2011-03-081-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* nilfs2: unfold nilfs_dat_inode functionRyusuke Konishi2011-01-101-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* nilfs2: fiemap supportRyusuke Konishi2011-01-101-0/+2

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.

* nilfs2: see state of root dentry for mount check of snapshotsRyusuke Konishi2010-10-231-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* nilfs2: deny write access to inodes in snapshotsRyusuke Konishi2010-10-231-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

* | nilfs2: sync super blocks in turnsJiro SEKIBA2010-07-231-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This will sync super blocks in turns instead of syncing duplicate super blocks at the time. This will help searching valid super root when super block is written into disk before log is written, which is happen when barrier-less block devices are unmounted uncleanly. In the situation, old super block likely points to valid log. This patch introduces ns_sbwcount member to the nilfs object and adds nilfs_sb_will_flip() function; ns_sbwcount counts how many times super blocks write back to the disk. And, nilfs_sb_will_flip() decides whether flipping required or not based on the count of ns_sbwcount to sync super blocks asymmetrically. The following functions are also changed: - nilfs_prepare_super(): flips super blocks according to the argument. The argument is calculated by nilfs_sb_will_flip() function. - nilfs_cleanup_super(): sets "clean" flag to both super blocks if they point to the same checkpoint. To update both of super block information, caller of nilfs_commit_super must set the information on both super blocks.

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* nilfs2: add inode and other major structuresRyusuke Konishi2009-04-071-0/+323
This adds the following common structures of the NILFS2 file system. * nilfs_inode_info structure: gives on-memory inode. * nilfs_sb_info structure: keeps per-mount state and a special inode for the ifile. This structure is attached to the super_block structure. * the_nilfs structure: keeps shared state and locks among a read/write mount and snapshot mounts. This keeps special inodes for the sufile, cpfile, dat, and another dat inode used during GC (gcdat). This also has a hash table of dummy inodes to cache disk blocks during GC (gcinodes). * nilfs_transaction_info structure: keeps per task state while nilfs is writing logs or doing indivisible inode or namespace operations. This structure is used to identify context during log making and store nest level of the lock which ensures atomicity of file system operations.
