2011-05-16UBIFS: add a superblock flag for free space fix-upMatthew L. Creech1-0/+2
The 'space_fixup' flag can be set in the superblock of a new filesystem by mkfs.ubifs to indicate that any eraseblocks with free space remaining should be fixed-up the first time it's mounted (after which the flag is un-set). This means that the UBIFS image has been flashed by a "dumb" flasher and the free space has been actually programmed (writing all 0xFFs), so this free space cannot be used. UBIFS fixes the free space up by re-writing the contents of all LEBs with free space using the atomic LEB change UBI operation. Artem: improved commit message, add some more commentaries to the code.

2011-05-13UBIFS: use __packed instead of __attribute__((packed))Artem Bityutskiy1-14/+14
There was an attempt to standartize various "__attribute__" and other macros in order to have potentially portable and more consistent code, see commit 82ddcb040570411fc2d421d96b3e69711c670328. Note, that commit refers Rober Love's blog post, but the URL is broken, the valid URL is: http://blog.rlove.org/2005/10/with-little-help-from-your-compiler.html Moreover, nowadays checkpatch.pl warns about using __attribute__((packed)): "WARNING: __packed is preferred over __attribute__((packed))" It is not a big deal for UBIFS to use __packed, so let's do it.

2009-09-15UBIFS: define journal head numbers in ubifs-media.hArtem Bityutskiy1-0/+7
The journal head names and numbers are part of the UBIFS format, so they should be in the ubifs-media.h. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2009-03-26UBIFS: add R/O compatibilityArtem Bityutskiy1-3/+27
Now UBIFS is supported by u-boot. If we ever decide to change the media format, then people will have to upgrade their u-boots to mount new format images. However, very often it is possible to preserve R/O forward-compatibility, even though the write forward-compatibility is not preserved. This patch introduces a new super-block field which stores the R/O compatibility version.

2008-12-03UBIFS: slight compression optimizationArtem Bityutskiy1-0/+7
If data does not compress, it is better to leave it uncompressed because we'll read it faster then. So do not compress data if we save less than 64 bytes. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

2008-09-05UBIFS: make minimum fanout 3Artem Bityutskiy1-1/+1
UBIFS does not really work correctly when fanout is 2, because of the way we manage the indexing tree. It may just become a list and UBIFS screws up. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2008-08-13UBIFS: reserve more space for indexArtem Bityutskiy1-2/+2
At the moment UBIFS reserves twice old index size space for the index. But this is not enough in some cases, because if the indexing node are very fragmented and there are many small gaps, while the dirty index has big znodes - in-the-gaps method would fail. Thus, reserve trise as more, in which case we are guaranteed that we can commit in any case. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
