nilfs2: add helper to find existent block on metadata file

2015-04-17T13:04:04+00:00

Add a new metadata file function, nilfs_mdt_find_block(), which finds an existent block on a metadata file in a given range of blocks. This function skips continuous hole blocks efficiently by using nilfs_bmap_seek_key(). Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

fs: remove mapping->backing_dev_info

2015-01-20T21:03:05+00:00

Now that we never use the backing_dev_info pointer in struct address_space we can simply remove it and save 4 to 8 bytes in every inode. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Acked-by: Ryusuke Konishi Reviewed-by: Tejun Heo Reviewed-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

nilfs2: fix issue with flush kernel thread after remount in RO mode because of driver's internal error or metadata corruption

2013-05-01T00:04:04+00:00

The NILFS2 driver remounts itself in RO mode in the case of discovering metadata corruption (for example, discovering a broken bmap). But usually, this takes place when there have been file system operations before remounting in RO mode. Thereby, NILFS2 driver can be in RO mode with presence of dirty pages in modified inodes' address spaces. It results in flush kernel thread's infinite trying to flush dirty pages in RO mode. As a result, it is possible to see such side effects as: (1) flush kernel thread occupies 50% - 99% of CPU time; (2) system can't be shutdowned without manual power switch off. SYMPTOMS: (1) System log contains error message: "Remounting filesystem read-only". (2) The flush kernel thread occupies 50% - 99% of CPU time. (3) The system can't be shutdowned without manual power switch off. REPRODUCTION PATH: (1) Create volume group with name "unencrypted" by means of vgcreate utility. (2) Run script (prepared by Anthony Doggett ): ----------------[BEGIN SCRIPT]-------------------- #!/bin/bash VG=unencrypted #apt-get install nilfs-tools darcs lvcreate --size 2G --name ntest $VG mkfs.nilfs2 -b 1024 -B 8192 /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest mkdir /var/tmp/n mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest mount /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest /var/tmp/n/ntest mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir cd /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir sleep 2 date darcs init sleep 2 dmesg|tail -n 5 date darcs whatsnew || true date sleep 2 dmesg|tail -n 5 ----------------[END SCRIPT]-------------------- (3) Try to shutdown the system. REPRODUCIBILITY: 100% FIX: This patch implements checking mount state of NILFS2 driver in nilfs_writepage(), nilfs_writepages() and nilfs_mdt_write_page() methods. If it is detected the RO mount state then all dirty pages are simply discarded with warning messages is written in system log.

nilfs2: use mark_buffer_dirty to mark btnode or meta data dirty

2011-05-10T13:21:57+00:00

This replaces nilfs_mdt_mark_buffer_dirty and nilfs_btnode_mark_dirty macros with mark_buffer_dirty and gets rid of nilfs_mark_buffer_dirty, an own mark buffer dirty function. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

nilfs2: always set back pointer to host inode in mapping->host

2011-05-10T13:21:57+00:00

In the current nilfs, page cache for btree nodes and meta data files do not set a valid back pointer to the host inode in mapping->host. This will change it so that every address space in nilfs uses mapping->host to hold its host inode. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

block: remove per-queue plugging

2011-03-10T07:52:07+00:00

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging, and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that. So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

mm: prevent concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same inode

2011-02-24T03:52:52+00:00

Michael Leun reported that running parallel opens on a fuse filesystem can trigger a "kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475" Gurudas Pai reported the same bug on NFS. The reason is, unmap_mapping_range() is not prepared for more than one concurrent invocation per inode. For example: thread1: going through a big range, stops in the middle of a vma and stores the restart address in vm_truncate_count. thread2: comes in with a small (e.g. single page) unmap request on the same vma, somewhere before restart_address, finds that the vma was already unmapped up to the restart address and happily returns without doing anything. Another scenario would be two big unmap requests, both having to restart the unmapping and each one setting vm_truncate_count to its own value. This could go on forever without any of them being able to finish. Truncate and hole punching already serialize with i_mutex. Other callers of unmap_mapping_range() do not, and it's difficult to get i_mutex protection for all callers. In particular ->d_revalidate(), which calls invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse, may be called with or without i_mutex. This patch adds a new mutex to 'struct address_space' to prevent running multiple concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same mapping. [ We'll hopefully get rid of all this with the upcoming mm preemptibility series by Peter Zijlstra, the "mm: Remove i_mmap_mutex lockbreak" patch in particular.

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

nilfs_page_get_nth_block() function used in nilfs_mdt_freeze_buffer() always returns a valid buffer head, so its validity check can be removed. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
