nilfs2: support contiguous lookup of blocks

2009-06-10T14:41:12+00:00

Although get_block() callback function can return extent of contiguous
blocks with bh->b_size, nilfs_get_block() function did not support
this feature.

This adds contiguous lookup feature to the block mapping codes of
nilfs, and allows the nilfs_get_blocks() function to return the extent
information by applying the feature.

table.

nilfs2: remove bmap pointer operations

2009-06-10T14:41:10+00:00

Previously, the bmap codes of nilfs used three types of function
tables.  The abuse of indirect function calls decreased source
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
pointer operations of the nilfs bmap.

This adds a new integer variable "b_ptr_type" to nilfs_bmap struct,
and uses the value to select the pointer operations.

nilfs2: remove useless b_low and b_high fields from nilfs_bmap struct

2009-06-10T14:41:10+00:00

This will cut off 16 bytes from the nilfs_bmap struct which is
embedded in the on-memory inode of nilfs.

The b_high field was never used, and the b_low field stores a constant
value which can be determined by whether the inode uses btree for
block mapping or not.

nilfs2: remove pointless NULL check of bpop_commit_alloc_ptr function

2009-06-10T14:41:10+00:00

This indirect function is set to NULL only for gc cache inodes, but
the gc cache inodes never call this function.

nilfs2: unify bmap operations starting use of indirect block address

2009-06-10T14:41:09+00:00

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.

nilfs2: replace BUG_ON and BUG calls triggerable from ioctl

2009-04-07T15:31:19+00:00

Pekka Enberg advised me:
> It would be nice if BUG(), BUG_ON(), and panic() calls would be
> converted to proper error handling using WARN_ON() calls. The BUG()
> call in nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints(), for example, looks to be
> triggerable from user-space via the ioctl() system call.

This will follow the comment and keep them to a minimum.

nilfs2: clean up indirect function calling conventions

2009-04-07T15:31:17+00:00

This cleans up the strange indirect function calling convention used in
nilfs to follow the normal kernel coding style.

nilfs2: direct block mapping

2009-04-07T15:31:13+00:00

This adds block mappings using direct pointers which are stored in the
i_bmap array of inode.
