RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
page lock to follow page->mapping.
The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

Make d_count non-atomic and protect it with d_lock. This allows us to ensure a
0 refcount dentry remains 0 without dcache_lock. It is also fairly natural when
we start protecting many other dentry members with d_lock.

On 2.6.37-rc1, garbage collection ioctl of nilfs was broken due to the
commit 263d90cefc ("nilfs2: remove own inode hash used for GC"),
and leading to filesystem corruption.
The patch doesn't queue gc-inodes for log writer if they are reused
through the vfs inode cache. Here, gc-inode is the inode which
buffers blocks to be relocated on GC. That patch queues gc-inodes in
nilfs_init_gcinode() function, but this function is not called when
they don't have I_NEW flag. Thus, some of live blocks are wrongly
overrode without being moved to new logs.
This resolves the problem by moving the gc-inode queueing to an outer
function to ensure it's done right.

After recent blkdev_get() modifications, open_by_devnum() and
open_bdev_exclusive() are simple wrappers around blkdev_get().
Replace them with blkdev_get_by_dev() and blkdev_get_by_path().
blkdev_get_by_dev() is identical to open_by_devnum().
blkdev_get_by_path() is slightly different in that it doesn't
automatically add %FMODE_EXCL to @mode.
All users are converted. Most conversions are mechanical and don't
introduce any behavior difference. There are several exceptions.
* btrfs now sets FMODE_EXCL in btrfs_device->mode, so there's no
reason to OR it explicitly on blkdev_put().
* gfs2, nilfs2 and the generic mount_bdev() now set FMODE_EXCL in
sb->s_mode.
* With the above changes, sb->s_mode now always should contain
FMODE_EXCL. WARN_ON_ONCE() added to kill_block_super() to detect
errors.
The new blkdev_get_*() functions are with proper docbook comments.
While at it, add function description to blkdev_get() too.

Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev
open, close, claim and release.
* blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions.
* bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open.
* open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and
the other way around, respectively.
* bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave
symlinks.
* open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get().
The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim
makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as
in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive
open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another
exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that,
* blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management.
@holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will
gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses.
* blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and
if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when
the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are
removed automatically.
* bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer
necessary and either made static or removed.
* bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder()
is no longer necessary and removed.
* open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev()
and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only()
test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get().
* open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to
blkdev_get().
Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put()
and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as
it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and
invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases.
open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup -
rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop
special features. Well, let's leave them for another day.
Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more
involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the
same.

To help developers and applications gain visibility into writeback
behaviour this patch adds two counters to /proc/vmstat.
# grep nr_dirtied /proc/vmstat
nr_dirtied 3747
# grep nr_written /proc/vmstat
nr_written 3618
These entries allow user apps to understand writeback behaviour over time
and learn how it is impacting their performance. Currently there is no
way to inspect dirty and writeback speed over time. It's not possible for
nr_dirty/nr_writeback.
These entries are necessary to give visibility into writeback behaviour.
We have /proc/diskstats which lets us understand the io in the block
layer. We have blktrace for more in depth understanding. We have
e2fsprogs and debugsfs to give insight into the file systems behaviour,
but we don't offer our users the ability understand what writeback is
doing. There is no way to know how active it is over the whole system, if
it's falling behind or to quantify it's efforts. With these values
exported users can easily see how much data applications are sending
through writeback and also at what rates writeback is processing this
data. Comparing the rates of change between the two allow developers to
see when writeback is not able to keep up with incoming traffic and the
rate of dirty memory being sent to the IO back end. This allows folks to
understand their io workloads and track kernel issues. Non kernel
engineers at Google often use these counters to solve puzzling performance
problems.
Patch #4 adds a pernode vmstat file with nr_dirtied and nr_written
Patch #5 add writeback thresholds to /proc/vmstat
Currently these values are in debugfs. But they should be promoted to
/proc since they are useful for developers who are writing databases
and file servers and are not debugging the kernel.
The output is as below:
# grep threshold /proc/vmstat
nr_pages_dirty_threshold 409111
nr_pages_dirty_background_threshold 818223
This patch:
This allows code outside of the mm core to safely manipulate page
writeback state and not worry about the other accounting. Not using these
routines means that some code will lose track of the accounting and we get
bugs.

During garbage collection (GC), DAT file, which converts virtual block
number to real block number, may return disk block number that is not
yet written to the device.
To avoid access to unwritten blocks, the current implementation stores
changes to the caches of GCDAT during GC and atomically commit the
changes into the DAT file after they are written to the device.
This patch, instead, adds a function that makes a copy of specified
buffer and stores it in nilfs_shadow_map, and a function to get the
backup copy as needed (nilfs_mdt_freeze_buffer and
nilfs_mdt_get_frozen_buffer respectively).
Before DAT changes block number in an entry block, it makes a copy and
redirect access to the buffer so that address conversion function
(i.e. nilfs_dat_translate) refers to the old address saved in the
copy.
This patch gives requisites for such redirection.

This adds optional function to metadata files which makes a copy of
bmap, page caches, and b-tree node cache, and rolls back to the copy
as needed.
This enhancement is intended to displace gcdat inode that provides a
similar function in a different way.
In this patch, nilfs_shadow_map structure is added to store a copy of
the foregoing states. nilfs_mdt_setup_shadow_map relates this
structure to a metadata file. And, nilfs_mdt_save_to_shadow_map() and
nilfs_mdt_restore_from_shadow_map() provides save and restore
functions respectively. Finally, nilfs_mdt_clear_shadow_map() clears
states of nilfs_shadow_map.
The copy of b-tree node cache and page cache is made by duplicating
only dirty pages into corresponding caches in nilfs_shadow_map. Their
restoration is done by clearing dirty pages from original caches and
by copying dirty pages back from nilfs_shadow_map.

This stops allocating multiple super block instances for a device.
All snapshots and a current mode mount (i.e. latest tree) will be

instance.
nilfs_get_sb() is rewritten so that it always has a root object for

The root dentry of the latest tree is binded to sb->s_root even if it
isn't attached on a directory. Root dentries of snapshots or the
latest tree are binded to mnt->mnt_root on which they are mounted.
With this patch, nilfs_find_sbinfo() function, nilfs->ns_supers list,

To hold multiple versions of a filesystem in one sb instance, a new
on-memory structure is necessary to handle one or more checkpoints.
This adds a red-black tree of checkpoints to nilfs object, and adds
lookup and create functions for them.
Each checkpoint is represented by "nilfs_root" structure, and this
structure has rb_node to configure the rb-tree.
The nilfs_root object is identified with a checkpoint number. For
each snapshot, a nilfs_root object is allocated and the checkpoint
number of snapshot is assigned to it. For a regular mount
(i.e. current mode mount), NILFS_CPTREE_CURRENT_CNO constant is
assigned to the corresponding nilfs_root object.
Each nilfs_root object has an ifile inode and some counters. These
items will displace those of nilfs_sb_info structure in successive

This patch is a preparation necessary to remove the BKL from do_new_mount().
It explicitly adds calls to lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around
get_sb/fill_super operations for filesystems that still uses the BKL.
I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside
do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL
any more.
do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs
and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called
from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount()
through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through
afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems
follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified
get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given
fill_super function.
Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the
low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation.
[arnd: do not add the BKL to those file systems that already
don't use it elsewhere]

All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous
caller. To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs
to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous
state machine ahead. So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always
specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags
argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout. For
blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which
gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.

The patch "reduce repetitive calculation of max number of child nodes"
gathered up the calculation of maximum number of child nodes into

calculating it for each call.
Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
The current btree implementation repeats the same calculation on the
maximum number of child nodes. This is because a few low level
routines use the calculation for index addressing in a btree node
block.
This reduces the calculation by explicitly passing the maximum number
of child nodes (ncmax) through their argument.
This changes parameter passing of the following functions:
- nilfs_btree_node_dptrs
- nilfs_btree_node_get_ptr
- nilfs_btree_node_set_ptr
- nilfs_btree_node_init
- nilfs_btree_node_move_left
- nilfs_btree_node_move_right
- nilfs_btree_node_insert
- nilfs_btree_node_delete, and
- nilfs_btree_get_node
The following functions are removed:
- nilfs_btree_node_nchildren_min
- nilfs_btree_node_nchildren_max
Most middle level btree operations are rewritten to pass a proper
ncmax value depending on whether each occurrence of node is "root" or
not.
A constant NILFS_BTREE_ROOT_NCHILDREN_MAX is used for the root node,
whereas nilfs_btree_nchildren_per_block() function is used for
non-root nodes. If a node could be either root or a non-root node, an
output argument of nilfs_btree_get_node() is used to set up ncmax.
Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
nilfs_btree_node_nchildren_max() and nilfs_btree_node_nchildren_min()

performed in loop.

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.

Snapshots and regular ro/rw mounts are essentially-different within
the meaning whether the checkpoint is static or not and is marked with

The current implemenation, however, allows to remount a snapshot to a

Nilfs maintains two super blocks, and selects the new one on mount
time if they both have valid checksums and their timestamps differ.
However, this has potential for mis-selection since the system clock
may be rewinded and the resolution of the timestamps is not high.
Usually this doesn't become an issue because both super blocks are
updated at the same time when the file system is unmounted. Even if
the file system wasn't unmounted cleanly, the roll-forward recovery
will find the proper log which stores the latest super root. Thus,
the issue can appear only if update of one super block fails and the
clock happens to be rewinded.
This fixes the issue by using checkpoint numbers instead of timestamps
to pick the super block storing the location of the latest log.

This adds missing endian conversions in comparision of the magic
number of super blocks. It was coincidence that prior versions didn't
incur problems; the upper byte of the magic number happened to be
equal to the lower byte. But, semantically it's wrong to depend on
this.
This won't change anything else nor suffer any compatibility issues.

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.

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.

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

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 turns out to be a bug brought by an -rc1 patch ("nilfs2: simplify
remaining sget() use").
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.

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.

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)

We just did a full fs writeout using sync_filesystem before, and if

Move a call to foofs_write_super into every foofs_put_super for now to
guarantee identical behaviour until it's cleaned up by the individual
filesystem maintainers.
Exceptions:
- affs already has identical copy & pasted code at the beginning of
affs_put_super so no need to do it twice.
- xfs does the right thing without it and I have changes pending for
the xfs tree touching this are so I don't really need conflicts

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.

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.

Previously, the bmap codes of nilfs used three types of function

readability and suffered many indirect jumps which would confuse
branch prediction of processors.
This eliminates one type of the function tables,
nilfs_bmap_ptr_operations, which was used to dispatch low level
