2007-04-25[JFFS2] Tidy up licensing/copyright boilerplate.David Woodhouse45-217/+155
In particular, remove the bit in the LICENCE file about contacting Red Hat for alternative arrangements. Their errant IS department broke that arrangement a long time ago -- the policy of collecting copyright assignments from contributors came to an end when the plug was pulled on the servers hosting the project, without notice or reason. We do still dual-license it for use with eCos, with the GPL+exception licence approved by the FSF as being GPL-compatible. It's just that nobody has the right to license it differently.

2007-04-25[JFFS2] Better fix for all-zero node headersJoakim Tjernlund2-15/+5

2007-04-25[JFFS2] Improve read_inode memory usage, v2.David Woodhouse3-599/+618
We originally used to read every node and allocate a jffs2_tmp_dnode_info structure for each, before processing them in (reverse) version order and discarding the ones which are obsoleted by later nodes. With huge logfiles, this behaviour caused memory problems. For example, a file involved in OLPC trac #1292 has 1822391 nodes, and would cause the XO machine to run out of memory during the first stage of read_inode(). Instead of just inserting nodes into a tree in version order as we find them, we now put them into a tree in order of their offset within the file, which allows us to immediately discard nodes which are completely obsoleted. We don't use a full tree with 'fragments' pointing to the real data structure, as we do in the normal fragtree. We sort only on the start address, and add an 'overlapped' flag to the tmp_dnode_info to indicate that the node in question is (partially) overlapped by another. When the scan is complete, we start at the end of the file, adding each node to a real fragtree as before. Where the node is non-overlapped, we just add it (it doesn't matter that it's not the latest version; there is no overlap). When the node at the end of the tree _is_ overlapped, we sort it and all its overlapping nodes into version order and then add them to the fragtree in that order. This 'early discard' reduces the peak allocation of tmp_dnode_info structures from 1.8M to a mere 62872 (3.5%) in the degenerate case referenced above. This version of the patch also correctly rememembers the highest node version# seen for an inode when it's scanned. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2007-04-23[JFFS2] Improve failure mode if inode checking leaves unchecked space.David Woodhouse1-1/+2
We should never find the unchecked size is non-zero after we've finished checking all inodes. If it happens, used to BUG(), leaving the alloc_sem held and deadlocking. Instead, just return -ENOSPC after complaining. The GC thread will die, but read-only operation should be able to continue and the file system should be unmountable.

2007-04-17[JFFS2] fix buffer sise calculations in jffs2_get_inode_nodes()Artem Bityutskiy1-65/+33
In read inode we have an optimization which prevents one min. I/O unit (e.g. NAND page) to be read more then once. Namely, at the beginning we do not know which node type we read, so we read so we assume we read the directory entry, because it has the smallest node header. When we read it, we read up to the next min. I/O unit, just because if later we'll need to read more, we already have this data. If it turns out to be that the node is not directory entry, and we need more data, and we did not read it because it sits in the next min. I/O unit, we read the whole next (or several next) min. I/O unit(s). And if it happens to be that we read a data node, and we've read part of its data, we calculate partial CRC. So if later we need to check data CRC, we'll only read the rest of the data from further min. I/O units and continue CRC checking. This code was a bit messy and buggy. The bug was that it assumed relatively large min. I/O unit, so that the largest node header could overlap only one min. I/O unit boundary. This parch clean-ups the code a bit and fixes this bug. The patch was not tested on flash with small min. I/O unit, like NOR-ECC, nut it was tested on NAND with 512 bytes NAND page, so it at least does not break NAND. It was also tested with mtdram so it should not break NOR. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2007-04-17[JFFS2] Disable summary after wbuf recoveryAdrian Hunter1-0/+3
After a write error, any data in the write buffer must be relocated. This is handled by the jffs2_wbuf_recover function. This function does not fix up the erase block summary information that is collected for writing at the end of the block, which results in an incorrect summary (or BUG if the summary was found to be empty). As the summary is not essential (it is an optimisation), it may be disabled for the current erase block when this situation arises. This patch does that.

An architecture needs epoll_event translation if alignof(u64) in 32 bit mode is different from alignof(u64) in 64 bit mode. If an architecture needs epoll_event translation, it must define struct compat_epoll_event in asm/compat.h and set CONFIG_HAVE_COMPAT_EPOLL_EVENT and use compat_sys_epoll_ctl and compat_sys_epoll_wait.

2007-03-08[JFFS2] Use yield() between GC passes in background thread.David Woodhouse1-1/+7
The garbage collection thread is strictly an optimisation. Everything it does would also be done just-in-time in the context of something in userspace trying to access the file system. Sometimes, however, it's a pessimisation. Especially during early boot when it's checksumming nodes and scanning inodes which are shortly going to be pulled in by read_inode anyway. We end up building the rbtree of node coverage twice for the same inode. By switching to yield() instead of cond_resched() in the main loop, we observe boot times on the OLPC system going down from about 100 seconds to 60.

2007-03-07[GFS2] fix hangup when multiple processes are trying to write to the same fileJosef Whiter1-2/+5
This fixes a problem I encountered while running bonnie++. When you have one thread that opens a file and starts to write to it, and then another thread that tries to open and write to the same file, the second thread will loop forever trying to grab the inode lock for that inode. Basically we come in through generic_buffered_file_write, which calls gfs2_prepare_write, which then attempts to grab the glock. Because we don't own the lock, gfs2_prepare_write gets GLR_TRYFAILED, which returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE to generic_buffered_file_write. At this point generic_buffered_file_write loops around again and immediately retries the prepare_write. This means that the second process never gets off of the processor in order to allow the process that holds the lock to finish its work and let go of the lock. This patch makes gfs2_glock_nq schedule() if it gets back a GLR_TRYFAILED, which resolves this problem.

2007-03-01[PATCH] ext[34]: EA block reference count racing fixMingming Cao2-32/+51
There are race issues around ext[34] xattr block release code. ext[34]_xattr_release_block() checks the reference count of xattr block (h_refcount) and frees that xattr block if it is the last one reference it. Unlike ext2, the check of this counter is unprotected by any lock. ext[34]_xattr_release_block() will free the mb_cache entry before freeing that xattr block. There is a small window between the check for the re h_refcount ==1 and the call to mb_cache_entry_free(). During this small window another inode might find this xattr block from the mbcache and reuse it, racing a refcount updates. The xattr block will later be freed by the first inode without notice other inode is still use it. Later if that block is reallocated as a datablock for other file, then more serious problem might happen. We need put a lock around places checking the refount as well to avoid racing issue. Another place need this kind of protection is in ext3_xattr_block_set(), where it will modify the xattr block content in- the-fly if the refcount is 1 (means it's the only inode reference it). This will also fix another issue: the xattr block may not get freed at all if no lock is to protect the refcount check at the release time. It is possible that the last two inodes could release the shared xattr block at the same time. But both of them think they are not the last one so only decreased the h_refcount without freeing xattr block at all. We need to call lock_buffer() after ext3_journal_get_write_access() to avoid deadlock (because the later will call lock_buffer()/unlock_buffer () as well).
