2011-07-04UBIFS: remove custom list of superblocksArtem Bityutskiy
This is a clean-up of the power-cut emulation code - remove the custom list of superblocks which we maintained to find the superblock by the UBI volume descriptor. We do not need that crud any longer, because now we can get the superblock as a function argument. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2011-07-04UBIFS: switch to ubifs_leb_writeArtem Bityutskiy
Stop using 'ubi_leb_write()' directly and switch to the 'ubifs_leb_write()' helper. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2011-07-04UBIFS: switch to ubifs_leb_readArtem Bityutskiy
Instead of using 'ubi_read()' function directly, used the 'ubifs_leb_read()' helper function instead. This allows to get rid of several redundant error messages and make sure that we always have a stack dump on read errors. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2011-07-04UBIFS: introduce more I/O helpersArtem Bityutskiy
Introduce the following I/O helper functions: 'ubifs_leb_read()', 'ubifs_leb_write()', 'ubifs_leb_change()', 'ubifs_leb_unmap()', 'ubifs_leb_map()', 'ubifs_is_mapped(). The idea is to wrap all UBI I/O functions in order to encapsulate various assertions and error path handling (error message, stack dump, switching to R/O mode). And there are some other benefits of this which will be used in the following patches. This patch does not switch whole UBIFS to use these functions yet.

2011-06-03UBIFS: assert no fixup when writing a nodeBen Gardiner
The current free space fixup can result in some writing to the UBI volume when the space_fixup flag is set. To catch instances where UBIFS is writing to the NAND while the space_fixup flag is set, add an assert to ubifs_write_node(). Artem: tweaked the patch, added similar assertion to the write buffer write path. Signed-off-by: Ben Gardiner <bengardiner@nanometrics.ca> Reviewed-by: Matthew L.

2011-05-16UBIFS: synchronize write-buffer before switching to the next budArtem Bityutskiy
Currently when UBIFS fills up the current bud (which is the last in the journal head) and switches to the next bud, it first writes the log reference node for the next bud and only after this synchronizes the write-buffer of the previous bud. This is not a big deal, but an unclean power cut may lead to a situation when we have corruption in a next-to-last bud, although it is much more logical that we have to have corruption only in the last bud. This patch also removes write-buffer synchronization from 'ubifs_wbuf_seek_nolock()' because this is not needed anymore (we synchronize the write-buffer explicitly everywhere now) and also because this is just prone to various errors.

2011-05-16UBIFS: remove unnecessary stack variableArtem Bityutskiy
This is patch removes an unnecessary 'offs' variable from 'ubifs_wbuf_write_nolock()' - we can just keep 'wbuf->offs' up-to-date instead. This patch is very minor the only motivation for it was that it is cleaner to keep wbuf->offs up-to-date by the time we call 'ubifs_leb_write()'.

2011-03-08UBIFS: use max_write_size for write-buffersArtem Bityutskiy
Switch write-buffers from 'c->min_io_size' to 'c->max_write_size' which presumably has to be more write speed-efficient. However, when write-buffer is synchronized, write only the the min. I/O units which contain the data, do not write whole write-buffer. This is more space-efficient. Additionally, this patch takes into account that the LEB might not start from the max. write unit-aligned address. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2011-03-08UBIFS: introduce write-buffer size fieldArtem Bityutskiy
Currently we assume write-buffer size is always min_io_size. But this is about to change and write-buffers may be of variable size. Namely, they will be of max_write_size at the beginning, but will get smaller when we are approaching the end of LEB. This is a preparation patch which introduces 'size' field in the write-buffer structure which carries the current write-buffer size. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2011-01-17UBIFS: introduce mounting flagArtem Bityutskiy
This is a preparational patch which removes the 'c->always_chk_crc' which was set during mounting and remounting to R/W mode and introduces 'c->mounting' flag which is set when mounting. Now the 'c->always_chk_crc' flag is the same as 'c->remounting_rw && c->mounting'. This patch is a preparation for the next one which will need to know when we are mounting and remounting to R/W mode, which is exactly what 'c->always_chk_crc' effectively is, but its name does not suite the next patch. The other possibility would be to just re-name it, but then we'd end up with less logical flags coverage. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-09-19UBIFS: introduce new flags for RO mountsArtem Bityutskiy
Commit 2fde99cb55fb9d9b88180512a5e8a5d939d27fec "UBIFS: mark VFS SB RO too" introduced regression. This commit made UBIFS set the 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS superblock when it switches to R/O mode due to an error. This was done to make VFS show the R/O UBIFS flag in /proc/mounts. However, several places in UBIFS relied on the 'MS_RDONLY' flag and assume this flag can only change when we re-mount. For example, 'ubifs_put_super()'. This patch introduces new UBIFS flag - 'c->ro_mount' which changes only when we re-mount, and preserves the way UBIFS was originally mounted (R/W or R/O). This allows us to de-initialize UBIFS cleanly in 'ubifs_put_super()'. This patch also changes all 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)' assertions to 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media && !c->ro_mount)', because we never should write anything if the FS was mounter R/O. All the places where we test for 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS SB were changed and now we test the 'c->ro_mount' flag instead, because it preserves the original UBIFS mount type, unlike the 'MS_RDONLY' flag.

2010-09-17UBIFS: introduce new flag for RO due to errorsArtem Bityutskiy
The R/O state may have various reasons: 1. The UBI volume is R/O 2. The FS is mounted R/O 3. The FS switched to R/O mode because of an error However, in UBIFS we have only one variable which represents cases 1 and 3 - 'c->ro_media'. Indeed, we set this to 1 if we switch to R/O mode due to an error, and then we test it in many places to make sure that we stop writing as soon as the error happens. But this is very unclean. One consequence of this, for example, is that in 'ubifs_remount_fs()' we use 'c->ro_media' to check whether we are in R/O mode because on an error, and we print a message in this case. However, if we are in R/O mode because the media is R/O, our message is bogus. This patch introduces new flag - 'c->ro_error' which is set when we switch to R/O mode because of an error. It also changes all "if (c->ro_media)" checks to "if (c->ro_error)" checks, because this is what the checks actually mean. We do not need to check for 'c->ro_media' because if the UBI volume is in R/O mode, we do not allow R/W mounting, and now writes can happen. This is guaranteed by VFS. But it is good to double-check this, so this patch also adds many "ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)" checks. In the 'ubifs_remount_fs()' function this patch makes a bit more changes - it fixes the error messages as well. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-08-30UBIFS: improve error reporting when reading bad nodeArtem Bityutskiy

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h 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.

2009-07-05UBIFS: slightly optimize write-buffer timer usageArtem Bityutskiy
This patch adds the following minor optimization: 1. If write-buffer does not use the timer, indicate it with the wbuf->no_timer variable, instead of using the wbuf->softlimit variable. This is better because wbuf->softlimit is of ktime_t type, and the ktime_to_ns function contains 64-bit multiplication. 2. Do not call the 'hrtimer_cancel()' function for write-buffers which do not use timers. 3. Do not cancel the timer in 'ubifs_put_super()' because the synchronization function does this. This patch also removes a confusing comment. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

2009-06-08UBIFS: start using hrtimersArtem Bityutskiy
UBIFS uses timers for write-buffer write-back. It is not crucial for us to write-back exactly on time. We are fine to write-back a little earlier or later. And this means we may optimize UBIFS timer so that it could be groped with a close timer event, so that the CPU would not be waken up just to do the write back. This is optimization to lessen power consumption, which is important in embedded devices UBIFS is used for. hrtimers have a nice feature: they are effectively range timers, and we may defind the soft and hard limits for it. Standard timers do not have these feature. They may only be made deferrable, but this means there is effectively no hard limit. So, we will better use hrtimers.

2009-01-27UBIFS: fix no_chk_data_crcArtem Bityutskiy
When data CRC checking is disabled, UBIFS returns incorrect return code from the 'try_read_node()' function (0 instead of 1, which means CRC error), which make the caller re-read the data node again, but using a different code patch, so the second read is fine. Thus, we read the same node twice. And the result of this is that UBIFS is slower with no_chk_data_crc option than it is with chk_data_crc option. This patches fixes the problem.

UBIFS read performance can be improved by skipping the CRC check when data nodes are read. This option can be used if the underlying media is considered to be highly reliable. Note that CRCs are always checked for metadata. Read speed on Arm platform with OneNAND goes from 19 MiB/s to 27 MiB/s with data CRC checking disabled.

2008-08-13UBIFS: make ubifs_ro_mode() not inlineAdrian Hunter
We use ubifs_ro_mode() quite a lot, and not in fast-path, so there is no reason to blow the code up by having it inlined. Also, we usually want R/O mode change to be seen to other CPUs as soon as possible, so when we make this a function call, we will automatically have a memory barrier.
