fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers

2011-07-21T00:47:59+00:00

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers.  Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.
Thanks,

nilfs2: get rid of private page allocator

2011-05-10T13:21:44+00:00

Previously, nilfs was cloning pages for mmapped region to freeze their
data and ensure consistency of checksum during writeback cycles.  A
private page allocator was used for this page cloning.  But, we no
longer need to do that since clear_page_dirty_for_io function sets up
pte so that vm_ops->page_mkwrite function is called right before the
mmapped pages are modified and nilfs_page_mkwrite function can safely
wait for the pages to be written back to disk.

So, this stops making a copy of mmapped pages during writeback, and
eliminates the private page allocation and deallocation functions from
nilfs.

nilfs2: fix data loss in mmap page write for hole blocks

2011-03-30T01:45:31+00:00

From the result of a function test of mmap, mmap write to shared pages
turned out to be broken for hole blocks.  It doesn't write out filled
blocks and the data will be lost after umount.  This is due to a bug
that the target file is not queued for log writer when filling hole
blocks.

Also, nilfs_page_mkwrite function exits normal code path even after
successfully filled hole blocks due to a change of block_page_mkwrite
function; just after nilfs was merged into the mainline,
block_page_mkwrite() started to return VM_FAULT_LOCKED instead of zero
by the patch "mm: close page_mkwrite races" (commit:
b827e496c893de0c).  The current nilfs_page_mkwrite() is not handling
this value properly.

This corrects nilfs_page_mkwrite() and will resolve the data loss
problem in mmap write.

[This should be applied to every kernel since 2.6.30 but a fix is
 needed for 2.6.37 and prior kernels]

nilfs2: get rid of nilfs_sb_info structure

2011-03-09T02:54:26+00:00

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: add compat ioctl

2011-03-08T05:58:30+00:00

The current FS_IOC_GETFLAGS/SETFLAGS/GETVERSION will fail if
application is 32 bit and kernel is 64 bit.

This issue is avoidable by adding compat_ioctl method.

nilfs2: fiemap support

2011-01-10T05:05:46+00:00

This adds fiemap to nilfs.  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.

2009-09-27T18:39:25+00:00

* mark struct vm_area_struct::vm_ops as const
* mark vm_ops in AGP code

But leave TTM code alone, something is fishy there with global vm_ops
being used.
