2010-10-23nilfs2: get rid of GCDAT inodeRyusuke Konishi1-87/+0
This applies prepared rollback function and redirect function of metadata file to DAT file, and eliminates GCDAT inode. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-08-10simplify checks for I_CLEAR/I_FREEINGAl Viro1-1/+1
add I_CLEAR instead of replacing I_FREEING with it. I_CLEAR is equivalent to I_FREEING for almost all code looking at either; it's there to keep track of having called clear_inode() exactly once per inode lifetime, at some point after having set I_FREEING. I_CLEAR and I_FREEING never get set at the same time with the current code, so we can switch to setting i_flags to I_FREEING | I_CLEAR instead of I_CLEAR without loss of information. As the result of such change, checks become simpler and the amount of code that needs to know about I_CLEAR shrinks a lot. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2009-11-20nilfs2: flush palloc cache before manipulating data pages of GC datRyusuke Konishi1-0/+3
Data pages in gcdat metadata file (i.e. the secondary DAT for GC), are cleared or even moved back to the normal DAT when a shot of garbage collection was done. Buffer heads held by the palloc cache of gcdat must be cleared before these page cache manipulation. This adds nilfs_palloc_clear_cache() to ensure this.

2009-04-07nilfs2: another dat for garbage collectionRyusuke Konishi1-0/+84
NILFS2 uses another DAT inode during garbage collection to ensure atomicity and consistency of the DAT in the transient state. This twin inode is called GCDAT. This adds functions to initialize the GCDAT and to switch page caches and B-tree node caches between these two inodes.
