ef7d4757a5 nilfs2: simplify nilfs_sufile_get_ncleansegs function
Previously, this function took an status code to return possible error
codes.  The ("nilfs2: add local variable to cache the number of clean
segments") patch removed the possibility to return errors.

So, this simplifies the function definition to make it directly return
the number of clean segments.

9cb4e0d2b9 nilfs2: move out mark_inode_dirty calls from bmap routines
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.

09bf4aae0a nilfs2: stop marking metadata inode dirty within btree operations
Since metadata file routines mark the inode dirty after they

30db4e6c3d nilfs2: remove buffer locking from btree code
lock_buffer() and unlock_buffer() uses in btree.c are eliminable
because btree functions gain buffer heads through nilfs_btnode_get(),
which never returns an on-the-fly buffer.

Although nilfs_clear_dirty_page() and nilfs_copy_back_pages() in
nilfs_commit_gcdat_inode() juggle btree node buffers of DAT, this is
safe because these operations are protected by a log writer lock or
the metadata file semaphore of DAT.

5399dd1fc8 nilfs2: fix kernel oops in error case of nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks
This fixes a kernel oops reported by Markus Trippelsdorf in the email
titled "[NILFS users] kernel Oops while running nilfs_cleanerd".

The oops was caused by a bug of error path in
nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() function, which was inlined in
nilfs_ioctl_clean_segments().

nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks checks duplication of blocks which will be
moved in garbage collection.  But, the check should have be done
within nilfs_ioctl_move_inode_block() to prevent list corruption among
buffers storing the target blocks.

To fix the kernel oops, this moves forward the duplication check
before the list insertion.

I also tested this for stable trees [2.6.30, 2.6.31].

aeda7f6343 nilfs2: fix irregular checkpoint creation due to data flush
When nilfs flushes out dirty data to reduce memory pressure, creation
of checkpoints is wrongly postponed.  This bug causes irregular

To correct this issue, a timer for the checkpoint creation has to be

1f28fcd925 nilfs2: fix missing zero-fill initialization of btree node cache
This will fix file system corruption which infrequently happens after
mount.  The problem was reported from users with the title "[NILFS
users] Fail to mount NILFS." (Message-ID:
<200908211918.34720.yuri@itinteg.net>), and so forth.  I've also
experienced the corruption multiple times on kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31.

The problem turned out to be caused due to discordance between
mapping->nrpages of a btree node cache and the actual number of pages
hung on the cache; if the mapping->nrpages becomes zero even as it has
pages, truncate_inode_pages() returns without doing anything.  Usually
this is harmless except it may cause page leak, but garbage collection
fairly infrequently sees a stale page remained in the btree node cache
of DAT (i.e. disk address translation file of nilfs), and induces the
corruption.

I identified a missing initialization in btree node caches was the
root cause.  This corrects the bug.

I've tested this for kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31.

The current btree code is written so that btree functions call dat
operations via wrapper functions in bmap.c when they allocate, free,

This abstraction requires additional function calls and causes

every wrapper function.

This removes the wrapper functions and makes them available from
btree.c and direct.c, which will increase the opportunity of

Copying live blocks into memory is done in a transaction,
however it is not necessarily to be in the transaction.
This patch will get the nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() out from
transaction lock and put it before the transaction.

I ran sysbench fileio test against nilfs partition.
I copied some DVD/CD images and created snapshot to create live blocks
before starting the benchmark.

Followings are summary of rc8 and rc8 w/ the patch of per-request
statistics, which is min/max and avg.  I ran each test three times and
bellow is average of those numers.

According to this benchmark result, average time is slightly degrated.
However, worstcase (max) result is significantly improved.
This can address a few seconds write freeze.

1dfa27105a nilfs2: stop using periodic write_super callback
This removes nilfs_write_super and commit super block in nilfs
internal thread, instead of periodic write_super callback.

VFS layer calls ->write_super callback periodically.  However,
it looks like that calling back is ommited when disk I/O is busy.
And when cleanerd (nilfs GC) is runnig, disk I/O tend to be busy thus
nilfs superblock is not synchronized as nilfs designed.

To avoid it, syncing superblock by nilfs thread instead of pdflush.

1435110467 nilfs2: always lookup disk block address before reading metadata block
The current metadata file code skips disk address lookup for its data
block if the buffer has a mapped flag.

This has a potential risk to cause read request to be performed
against the stale block address that GC moved, and it may lead to meta
data corruption.  The mapped flag is safe if the buffer has an
uptodate flag, otherwise it may prevent necessary update of disk
address in the next read.

This will avoid the potential problem by ensuring disk address lookup
before reading metadata block even for buffers with the mapped flag.

027d6404eb nilfs2: use semaphore to protect pointer to a writable FS-instance
will get rid of nilfs_get_writer() and nilfs_put_writer() pair used to

The pair functions were making up some kind of recursive lock with a

201913ed74.  Furthermore, they caused
the following lockdep warning because the mutex can be released by a
task which didn't lock it:

In the patch, a new "put resource" function, nilfs_put_sbinfo()
was introduced to delay freeing nilfs_sb_info struct.

But the nilfs_put_sbinfo() mistakenly used atomic_dec_and_test()
function to check the reference count, and it caused the nilfs_sb_info
was freed when user mounted a snapshot twice.

This bug also suggests there was unseen memory leak in usual mount
/umount operations for nilfs.

a97778457f nilfs2: fix oops due to inconsistent state in page with discrete b-tree nodes
Andrea Gelmini gave me a report that a kernel oops hit on a nilfs
filesystem with a 1KB block size when doing rsync.

This turned out to be caused by an inconsistency of dirty state
between a page and its buffers storing b-tree node blocks.

If the page had multiple buffers split over multiple logs, and if the
logs were written at a time, a dirty flag remained in the page even
every dirty flag in the buffers was cleared.

This will fix the failure by dropping the dirty flag properly for
pages with the discrete multiple b-tree nodes.

4a52df7797 nilfs2: fix incorrect KERN_CRIT messages in case of write failures
In case of write-failure retries, the following KERN_CRIT level

...

This suppresses these messages.

8227b29722 nilfs2: fix hang problem of log writer which occurs after write failures
Leandro Lucarella gave me a report that nilfs gets stuck after its
write function fails.

The problem turned out to be caused by bugs which leave writeback flag
on pages.  This fixes the problem by ensuring to clear the writeback
flag in error path.

0cfae3d879 nilfs2: remove unlikely directive causing mis-conversion of error code
The following error code handling in nilfs_segctor_write() function
wrongly converted negative error codes to a truth value (i.e. 1):

   err = unlikely(err) ? : res;

which originaly meant to be

   err = err ? : res;

This mis-conversion caused that write or sync functions receive the
unexpected error code.  This fixes the bug by removing the unlikely
directive.

e59399d010 nilfs2: correct exclusion control in nilfs_remount function
nilfs_remount() changes mount state of a superblock instance.  Even
though nilfs accesses other superblock instances during mount or
remount, the mount state was not properly protected in
nilfs_remount().

Moreover, nilfs_remount() has a lock order reversal problem;
nilfs_get_sb() holds:

  1. bdev->bd_mount_sem
  2. sb->s_umount  (sget acquires)

and nilfs_remount() holds:

  1. sb->s_umount  (locked by the caller in vfs)
  2. bdev->bd_mount_sem

To avoid these problems, this patch divides a semaphore protecting
super block instances from nilfs->ns_sem, and applies it to the mount
state protection in nilfs_remount().

With this change, bd_mount_sem use is removed from nilfs_remount() and
the lock order reversal will be resolved.  And the new rw-semaphore,
nilfs->ns_super_sem will properly protect the mount state except the
modification from nilfs_error function.

Instead of checking mount type (i.e. ro-mount/rw-mount/snapshot mount)

This will change the way to obtain nilfs object in nilfs_get_sb()
function.

Previously, a preliminary sget() call was performed, and the nilfs
object was acquired from a super block instance found by the sget()
call.

This patch, instead, instroduces a new dedicated function
find_or_create_nilfs(); as the name implies, the function finds an
existent nilfs object from a global list or creates a new one if no
object is found on the device.

 - affs already has identical copy & pasted code at the beginning of

003ff182fd nilfs2: allow future expansion of metadata read out via get info ioctl
Nilfs has some ioctl commands to read out metadata from meta data
files:

 - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO for checkpoint file,
 - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUINFO for segment usage file, and
 - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_VINFO for Disk Address Transalation (DAT) file,
   respectively.

Every routine on these metadata files is implemented so that it allows
future expansion of on-disk format.  But, the above ioctl commands do
not support expansion even though nilfs_argv structure can handle
arbitrary size for data exchanged via ioctl.

This allows future expansion of the following structures which give
basic format of the "get information" ioctls:

 - struct nilfs_cpinfo
 - struct nilfs_suinfo
 - struct nilfs_vinfo

So, this introduces forward compatility of such ioctl commands.

In this patch, a sanity check in nilfs_ioctl_get_info() function is
changed to accept larger data structure [1], and metadata read
routines are rewritten so that they become compatible for larger
structures; the routines will just ignore the remaining fields which
the current version of nilfs doesn't know.

[1] The ioctl function already has another upper limit (PAGE_SIZE
    against a structure, which appears in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy
    function), and this will not cause security problem.

258ef67e24 NILFS2: Pagecache usage optimization on NILFS2
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.

This elimination is applied by using nilfs_sufile_updatev() previously
introduced in the patch ("nilfs2: add sufile function that can modify
multiple segment usages").

dda54f4b87 nilfs2: add sufile function that can modify multiple segment usages
This is a preparation for the later cleanup patch ("nilfs2: remove
list of freeing segments").

This adds nilfs_sufile_updatev() to sufile, which can modify multiple
segment usages at a time.

d97a51a7e3 nilfs2: unify bmap operations starting use of indirect block address
This simplifies some low level functions of bmap.

Three bmap pointer operations, nilfs_bmap_start_v(),
nilfs_bmap_commit_v(), and nilfs_bmap_abort_v(), are unified into one
nilfs_bmap_start_v() function. And the related indirect function calls
are replaced with it.
