nilfs2: improve execution time of NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO ioctl

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

The older a filesystem gets, the slower lscp command becomes. This is because nilfs_cpfile_do_get_cpinfo() function meets more hole blocks as the start offset of valid checkpoint numbers gets bigger. This reduces the overhead by skipping hole blocks efficiently with nilfs_mdt_find_block() helper. A measurement result of this patch is as follows: Before: $ time lscp CNO DATE TIME MODE FLG BLKCNT ICNT 5769303 2015-02-22 19:31:33 cp - 108 1 5769304 2015-02-22 19:38:54 cp - 108 1 real 0m0.182s user 0m0.003s sys 0m0.180s After: $ time lscp CNO DATE TIME MODE FLG BLKCNT ICNT 5769303 2015-02-22 19:31:33 cp - 108 1 5769304 2015-02-22 19:38:54 cp - 108 1 real 0m0.003s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.002s Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

nilfs2: verify metadata sizes read from disk

2014-04-03T23:21:26+00:00

Add code to check sizes of on-disk data of metadata files such as inode size, segment usage size, DAT entry size, and checkpoint size. Although these sizes are read from disk, the current implementation doesn't check them. If these sizes are not sane on disk, it can cause out-of-range access to metadata or memory access overrun on metadata block buffers due to overflow in sundry calculations. Both lower limit and upper limit of metadata sizes are verified to prevent these issues. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi Cc: Andreas Rohner Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

nilfs2: fix timing issue between rmcp and chcp ioctls

2012-07-31T00:25:19+00:00

The checkpoint deletion ioctl (rmcp ioctl) has potential for breaking snapshot because it is not fully exclusive with checkpoint mode change ioctl (chcp ioctl). The rmcp ioctl first tests if the specified checkpoint is a snapshot or not within nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoint function, and then calls nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints function to actually invalidate the checkpoint only if it's not a snapshot. However, the checkpoint can be changed into a snapshot by the chcp ioctl between these two operations. In that case, calling nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints() wrongly invalidates the snapshot, which leads to snapshot list corruption and snapshot count mismatch. This fixes the issue by changing nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints() so that it reconfirms the target checkpoints are snapshot or not. This second check is exclusive with the chcp operation since it is protected by an existing semaphore.

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: see state of root dentry for mount check of snapshots

2010-10-23T00:24:38+00:00

After applied the patch that unified sb instances, root dentry of snapshots can be left in dcache even after their trees are unmounted. The orphan root dentry/inode keeps a root object, and this causes false positive of nilfs_checkpoint_is_mounted function. This resolves the issue by having nilfs_checkpoint_is_mounted test whether the root dentry is busy or not. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

nilfs2: use iget for all metadata files

2010-10-23T00:24:38+00:00

This makes use of iget5_locked to allocate or get inode for metadata files to stop using own inode allocator. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

nilfs2: separate read method of meta data files on super root block

2009-11-20T01:05:48+00:00

Will displace nilfs_mdt_read_inode_direct function with an individual read method: nilfs_dat_read, nilfs_sufile_read, nilfs_cpfile_read. This provides the opportunity to initialize local variables of each metadata file after reading the inode. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

nilfs2: separate constructor of metadata files

2009-11-20T01:05:48+00:00

This will displace nilfs_mdt_new() constructor with individual metadata file constructors like nilfs_dat_new(), new_sufile_new(), nilfs_cpfile_new(), and nilfs_ifile_new(). This makes it possible for each metadata file to have own intialization code. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
