Now that we have a distinction between WRITE_SYNC and WRITE_SYNC_PLUG, use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG in __block_write_full_page() to avoid unplugging the block device I/O queue between each page that gets flushed out. Otherwise, when we run sync() or fsync() and we need to write out a large number of pages, the block device queue will get unplugged between for every page that is flushed out, which will be a pretty serious performance regression caused by commit a64c8610.

The code that enables branch tracing for all (non-constant) branches plays games with the preprocessor and #define's the C 'if ()' construct to do tracing. That's all fine, but it fails for some unusual but valid C code that is sometimes used in macros, notably by the intel-iommu code: if (i=drhd->iommu, drhd->ignored) .. because now the preprocessor complains about multiple arguments to the 'if' macro. So make the macro expansion of this particularly horrid trick use varargs, and handle the case of comma-expressions in if-statements. Use another macro to do it cleanly in just one place. This replaces a patch by David (and acked by Steven) that did this all inside that one already-too-horrid macro. Tested-by:

There's a possible deadlock in generic_file_splice_write(), splice_from_pipe() and ocfs2_file_splice_write(): - task A calls generic_file_splice_write() - this calls inode_double_lock(), which locks i_mutex on both pipe->inode and target inode - ordering depends on inode pointers, can happen that pipe->inode is locked first - __splice_from_pipe() needs more data, calls pipe_wait() - this releases lock on pipe->inode, goes to interruptible sleep - task B calls generic_file_splice_write(), similarly to the first - this locks pipe->inode, then tries to lock inode, but that is already held by task A - task A is interrupted, it tries to lock pipe->inode, but fails, as it is already held by task B - ABBA deadlock Fix this by explicitly ordering locks: the outer lock must be on target inode and the inner lock (which is later unlocked and relocked) must be on pipe->inode. This is OK, pipe inodes and target inodes form two nonoverlapping sets, generic_file_splice_write() and friends are not called with a target which is a pipe. Signed-off-by:

After a review of user's feedback for finding out other compatibility issues, I found nilfs improperly initializes timestamps in inode; CURRENT_TIME was used there instead of CURRENT_TIME_SEC even though nilfs didn't have nanosecond timestamps on disk. 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. So, this will do the enhancement and resolve the tar problem. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

will reduce some lines of segment constructor. Previously, the state was complexly controlled through a list of segments in order to keep consistency in meta data of usage state of segments. Instead, this presents ``calculated'' active flags to userland cleaner program and stop maintaining its real flag on disk. Only by this fake flag, the cleaner cannot exactly know if each segment is reclaimable or not. However, the recent extension of nilfs_sustat ioctl struct (nilfs2-extend-nilfs_sustat-ioctl-struct.patch) can prevent the cleaner from reclaiming in-use segment wrongly. So, now I can apply this for simplification. Signed-off-by:

Nilfs creates checkpoints even for garbage collection or metadata updates such as checkpoint mode change. So, user often sees checkpoints created only by such internal operations. This is inconvenient in some situations. For example, application that monitors checkpoints and changes them to snapshots, will fall into an infinite loop because it cannot distinguish internally created checkpoints. This patch solves this sort of problem by adding a flag to checkpoint for identification. Signed-off-by:

The sketch file is a file to mark checkpoints with user data. It was experimentally introduced in the original implementation, and now obsolete. The file was handled differently with regular files; the file size got truncated when a checkpoint was created. This stops the special treatment and will treat it as a regular file. Most users are not affected because mkfs.nilfs2 no longer makes this file. Signed-off-by:

This adds a new argument to the nilfs_sustat structure. The extended field allows to delete volatile active state of segments, which was needed to protect freshly-created segments from garbage collection but has confused code dealing with segments. This extension alleviates the mess and gives room for further simplifications. The volatile active flag is not persistent, so it's eliminable on this occasion without affecting compatibility other than the ioctl change. Signed-off-by:

Nilfs ioctl had structures not having fixed sized types such as: struct nilfs_argv { void *v_base; size_t v_nmembs; size_t v_size; int v_index; int v_flags; }; Further, some of them are wrongly aligned: e.g. struct nilfs_cpmode { __u64 cm_cno; int cm_mode; }; The size of wrongly aligned structures varies depending on architectures, and it breaks the identity of ioctl commands, which leads to arch dependent errors. Previously, these are compensated by using compat_ioctl. This fixes these problems and allows removal of compat ioctl. Since this will change sizes of those structures, binary compatibility for the past utilities will once break; new utilities have to be used instead. However, it would be helpful to avoid platform dependent problems in the long term. Signed-off-by: -

This removes NILFS_IOCTL_TIMEDWAIT command from ioctl interface along with the related flags and wait queue. The command is terrible because it just sleeps in the ioctl. I prefer to avoid this by devising means of event polling in userland program. By reconsidering the userland GC daemon, I found this is possible without changing behaviour of the daemon and sacrificing efficiency. Signed-off-by:

This will fix the weird behavior of lscp command in listing continuously created checkpoints; the output of lscp is rewinded regularly for the recent nilfs. As a result of debugging, a defect was found in nilfs_cpfile_do_get_cpinfo() function. Though the function can be repeatedly called to enumerate checkpoints and it can skip invalid checkpoint entries, the index value was not carried between successive calls. The bug has long been present, and came to surface after applying a bugfix nilfs2-fix-problems-of-memory-allocation-in-ioctl.patch, which increased frequency of calling the function. The similar bugfix was already applied for ``snapshots'' by nilfs2-fix-gc-failure-on-volumes-keeping-numerous-snapshots.patch. This fixes the problem by making the index argument bidirectional on the function. Signed-off-by:
