2011-05-10nilfs2: use mark_buffer_dirty to mark btnode or meta data dirtyRyusuke Konishi1-2/+0
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 <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2011-05-10nilfs2: get rid of NILFS_I_NILFSRyusuke Konishi1-6/+1
This replaces all references of NILFS_I_NILFS(inode)->ns_bdev with inode->i_sb->s_bdev and unfolds remaining uses of NILFS_I_NILFS inline function. Before 2.6.37, referring to a nilfs object from inodes needed a conditional judgement, and NILFS_I_NILFS was helpful to simplify it. But now we can simply do it by going through a super block instance like inode->i_sb->s_fs_info. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2011-03-09nilfs2: get rid of nilfs_sb_info structureRyusuke Konishi1-1/+1
This directly uses sb->s_fs_info to keep a nilfs filesystem object and fully removes the intermediate nilfs_sb_info structure. With this change, the hierarchy of on-memory structures of nilfs will be simplified as follows: Before: super_block -> nilfs_sb_info -> the_nilfs -> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system) +-> nilfs_root (snapshot A) +-> nilfs_root (snapshot B) : -> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure) After: super_block -> the_nilfs -> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system) +-> nilfs_root (snapshot A) +-> nilfs_root (snapshot B) : -> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure) The reason why we didn't design so from the beginning is because the initial shape also differed from the above. The early hierachy was composed of "per-mount-point" super_block -> nilfs_sb_info pairs and a shared nilfs object. On the kernel 2.6.37, it was changed to the current shape in order to unify super block instances into one per device, and this cleanup became applicable as the result.

2010-10-23nilfs2: remove own inode allocator and destructor for metadata filesRyusuke Konishi1-5/+0
This finally removes own inode allocator and destructor functions for metadata files. Several routines, nilfs_mdt_new(), nilfs_mdt_new_common(), nilfs_mdt_clear(), nilfs_mdt_destroy(), and nilfs_alloc_inode_common() will be gone. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-10-23nilfs2: get rid of mi_nilfs back pointer to nilfs objectRyusuke Konishi1-6/+2
This removes a back pointer to nilfs object from nilfs_mdt_info structure that is attached to metadata files. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-10-23nilfs2: use iget for all metadata filesRyusuke Konishi1-2/+1
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 <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-10-23nilfs2: get rid of GCDAT inodeRyusuke Konishi1-1/+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>
2010-10-23nilfs2: add routines to redirect access to buffers of DAT fileRyusuke Konishi1-0/+3
During garbage collection (GC), DAT file, which converts virtual block number to real block number, may return disk block number that is not yet written to the device. To avoid access to unwritten blocks, the current implementation stores changes to the caches of GCDAT during GC and atomically commit the changes into the DAT file after they are written to the device. This patch, instead, adds a function that makes a copy of specified buffer and stores it in nilfs_shadow_map, and a function to get the backup copy as needed (nilfs_mdt_freeze_buffer and nilfs_mdt_get_frozen_buffer respectively). Before DAT changes block number in an entry block, it makes a copy and redirect access to the buffer so that address conversion function (i.e. nilfs_dat_translate) refers to the old address saved in the copy. This patch gives requisites for such redirection. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-10-23nilfs2: add routines to roll back state of DAT fileRyusuke Konishi1-0/+14
This adds optional function to metadata files which makes a copy of bmap, page caches, and b-tree node cache, and rolls back to the copy as needed. This enhancement is intended to displace gcdat inode that provides a similar function in a different way. In this patch, nilfs_shadow_map structure is added to store a copy of the foregoing states. nilfs_mdt_setup_shadow_map relates this structure to a metadata file. And, nilfs_mdt_save_to_shadow_map() and nilfs_mdt_restore_from_shadow_map() provides save and restore functions respectively. Finally, nilfs_mdt_clear_shadow_map() clears states of nilfs_shadow_map. The copy of b-tree node cache and page cache is made by duplicating only dirty pages into corresponding caches in nilfs_shadow_map. Their restoration is done by clearing dirty pages from original caches and by copying dirty pages back from nilfs_shadow_map. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-10-23nilfs2: separate initializer of metadata file inodeRyusuke Konishi1-1/+3
This separates a part of initialization code of metadata file inode, and makes it available from the nilfs iget function that a later patch will add to. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-11-20nilfs2: add cache framework for persistent object allocatorRyusuke Konishi1-0/+2
This adds setup and cleanup routines of the persistent object allocator cache. According to ftrace analyses, accessing buffers of the DAT file suffers indispensable overhead many times. To mitigate the overhead, This introduce cache framework for the persistent object allocator (palloc) which the DAT file and ifile are using. struct nilfs_palloc_cache represents the cache object per metadata file using palloc. The cache is initialized through nilfs_palloc_setup_cache() and destroyed by nilfs_palloc_destroy_cache(); callers of the former function will be added to individual allocators of DAT and ifile on successive patches. nilfs_palloc_destroy_cache() will be called from nilfs_mdt_destroy() if the cache is attached to a metadata file. A companion function nilfs_palloc_clear_cache() is provided to allow releasing buffer head references independently with the cleanup task. This adjunctive function will be used before invalidating pages of metadata file with the cache. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-11-20nilfs2: hide nilfs_mdt_clear calls in nilfs_mdt_destroyRyusuke Konishi1-1/+0
This will hide a function call of nilfs_mdt_clear() in nilfs_mdt_destroy(). This ensures nilfs_mdt_destroy() to do cleanup jobs included in nilfs_mdt_clear(). Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-11-20nilfs2: eliminate inlines to directly read/write inode of metadata filesRyusuke Konishi1-17/+0
Removes two inline functions: nilfs_mdt_read_inode_direct() and nilfs_mdt_write_inode_direct(). Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-11-20nilfs2: add size option of private object to metadata file allocatorRyusuke Konishi1-2/+3
This adds an optional "object size" argument to nilfs_mdt_new_common() function; the argument specifies the size of private object attached to a newly allocated metadata file inode. This will afford space to keep local variables for meta data files. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-09-14nilfs2: remove individual gfp constants for each metadata fileRyusuke Konishi1-2/+1
This gets rid of NILFS_CPFILE_GFP, NILFS_SUFILE_GFP, NILFS_DAT_GFP, and NILFS_IFILE_GFP. All of these constants refer to NILFS_MDT_GFP, and can be removed. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-04-07nilfs2: meta data fileRyusuke Konishi1-0/+125
