nilfs2: fix sync silent failure

2010-05-03T14:36:01+00:00

As of 32a88aa1, __sync_filesystem() will return 0 if s_bdi is not set.
And nilfs does not set s_bdi anywhere.  I noticed this problem by the
warning introduced by the recent commit 5129a469 ("Catch filesystem
lacking s_bdi").

This ensures to set s_bdi for nilfs and fixes the sync silent failure.

nilfs2: Remove an uninitialization warning in nilfs_btree_propagate_v()

2010-04-02T11:03:30+00:00

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

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.

nilfs2: fix imperfect completion wait in nilfs_wait_on_logs

2010-03-23T16:17:20+00:00

nilfs_wait_on_logs has a potential to slip out before completion of
all bio requests when it met an error.  This synchronization fault may
cause unexpected results, for instance, violative access to freed
segment buffers from an end-bio callback routine.

This fixes the issue by ensuring that nilfs_wait_on_logs waits all
given logs.

nilfs2: fix hang-up of cleaner after log writer returned with error

2010-03-23T15:03:06+00:00

According to the report from Andreas Beckmann (Message-ID:
<4BA54677.3090902@abeckmann.de>), nilfs in 2.6.33 kernel got stuck
after a disk full error.

This turned out to be a regression by log writer updates merged at
kernel 2.6.33.  nilfs_segctor_abort_construction, which is a cleanup
function for erroneous cases, was skipping writeback completion for
some logs.

This fixes the bug and would resolve the hang issue.

nilfs2: fix duplicate call to nilfs_segctor_cancel_freev

2010-03-22T05:41:07+00:00

Andreas Beckmann gave me a report that nilfs logged the following
warnings when it got a disk full:

  nilfs_sufile_do_cancel_free: segment 0 must be clean
  nilfs_sufile_do_cancel_free: segment 1 must be clean

These arise from a duplicate call to nilfs_segctor_cancel_freev in an
error path of log writer.  This will fix the issue.
