The ocfs2 directory index updates two blocks when we remove an entry - the dx root and the dx leaf. OCFS2_DELETE_INODE_CREDITS was only accounting for the dx leaf. This shows up when ocfs2_delete_inode() runs out of credits in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() at "J_ASSERT_JH(jh, handle->h_buffer_credits > 0);". The test that caught this was running dirop_file_racer from the ocfs2-test suite with a 250-character filename PREFIX. Run on a 512B blocksize, it forces the orphan dir index to grow large enough to trigger. Signed-off-by:Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

In ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock(), if unable to get the dentry lock, we need to call iput(inode) because a failure here means no d_instantiate(), which means the normally matching iput() will not be called during dput(dentry). This patch fixes the oops that accompanies the following message: (3996,1):dlm_empty_lockres:2708 ERROR: lockres W00000000000000000a1046b06a4382 still has local locks! kernel BUG in dlm_empty_lockres at /rpmbuild/smushran/BUILD/ocfs2-1.4.2/fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c:2709!

After a review of user's feedback for finding out other compatibility issues, I found nilfs improperly initializes timestamps in inode; CURRENT_TIME was used there instead of CURRENT_TIME_SEC even though nilfs didn't have nanosecond timestamps on disk. A few users gave us the report that the tar program sometimes failed to expand symbolic links on nilfs, and it turned out to be the cause. Instead of applying the above displacement, I've decided to support nanosecond timestamps on this occation. Fortunetaly, a needless 64-bit field was in the nilfs_inode struct, and I found it's available for this purpose without impact for the users. So, this will do the enhancement and resolve the tar problem. Signed-off-by:

The former versions didn't have extra super blocks. This improves the weak point by introducing another super block at unused region in tail of the partition. This doesn't break disk format compatibility; older versions just ingore the secondary super block, and new versions just recover it if it doesn't exist. The partition created by an old mkfs may not have unused region, but in that case, the secondary super block will not be added. This doesn't make more redundant copies of the super block; it is a future work. Signed-off-by:

will reduce some lines of segment constructor. Previously, the state was complexly controlled through a list of segments in order to keep consistency in meta data of usage state of segments. Instead, this presents ``calculated'' active flags to userland cleaner program and stop maintaining its real flag on disk. Only by this fake flag, the cleaner cannot exactly know if each segment is reclaimable or not. However, the recent extension of nilfs_sustat ioctl struct (nilfs2-extend-nilfs_sustat-ioctl-struct.patch) can prevent the cleaner from reclaiming in-use segment wrongly. So, now I can apply this for simplification. Signed-off-by:

Nilfs creates checkpoints even for garbage collection or metadata updates such as checkpoint mode change. So, user often sees checkpoints created only by such internal operations. This is inconvenient in some situations. For example, application that monitors checkpoints and changes them to snapshots, will fall into an infinite loop because it cannot distinguish internally created checkpoints. This patch solves this sort of problem by adding a flag to checkpoint for identification. Signed-off-by:

The sketch file is a file to mark checkpoints with user data. It was experimentally introduced in the original implementation, and now obsolete. The file was handled differently with regular files; the file size got truncated when a checkpoint was created. This stops the special treatment and will treat it as a regular file. Most users are not affected because mkfs.nilfs2 no longer makes this file. Signed-off-by:

This adds a new argument to the nilfs_sustat structure. The extended field allows to delete volatile active state of segments, which was needed to protect freshly-created segments from garbage collection but has confused code dealing with segments. This extension alleviates the mess and gives room for further simplifications. The volatile active flag is not persistent, so it's eliminable on this occasion without affecting compatibility other than the ioctl change. Signed-off-by:

Nilfs ioctl had structures not having fixed sized types such as: struct nilfs_argv { void *v_base; size_t v_nmembs; size_t v_size; int v_index; int v_flags; }; Further, some of them are wrongly aligned: e.g. struct nilfs_cpmode { __u64 cm_cno; int cm_mode; }; The size of wrongly aligned structures varies depending on architectures, and it breaks the identity of ioctl commands, which leads to arch dependent errors. Previously, these are compensated by using compat_ioctl. This fixes these problems and allows removal of compat ioctl. Since this will change sizes of those structures, binary compatibility for the past utilities will once break; new utilities have to be used instead. However, it would be helpful to avoid platform dependent problems in the long term. Signed-off-by: -

This removes NILFS_IOCTL_TIMEDWAIT command from ioctl interface along with the related flags and wait queue. The command is terrible because it just sleeps in the ioctl. I prefer to avoid this by devising means of event polling in userland program. By reconsidering the userland GC daemon, I found this is possible without changing behaviour of the daemon and sacrificing efficiency. Signed-off-by:

This will fix the weird behavior of lscp command in listing continuously created checkpoints; the output of lscp is rewinded regularly for the recent nilfs. As a result of debugging, a defect was found in nilfs_cpfile_do_get_cpinfo() function. Though the function can be repeatedly called to enumerate checkpoints and it can skip invalid checkpoint entries, the index value was not carried between successive calls. The bug has long been present, and came to surface after applying a bugfix nilfs2-fix-problems-of-memory-allocation-in-ioctl.patch, which increased frequency of calling the function. The similar bugfix was already applied for ``snapshots'' by nilfs2-fix-gc-failure-on-volumes-keeping-numerous-snapshots.patch. This fixes the problem by making the index argument bidirectional on the function. Signed-off-by:

A few tool developers gave me requests for fixing inconvenient return value of nilfs_get_cpinfo() ioctl; if the requested mode is NILFS_SNAPSHOT and the specified start entry is not a snapshot, the ioctl unnaturally returns one as the number of acquired snapshot item. In addition, the ioctl function returns an ENOENT error for checkpoints within blocks deleted by garbage collection. These behaviors require corrections for programs which enumerate snapshots. This resolves the inconvenience by changing the return values to zero for the above cases. Signed-off-by:

This resolves the following failure of nilfs2 cleaner daemon: nilfs_cleanerd[20670]: cannot clean segments: No such file or directory nilfs_cleanerd[20670]: shutdown When creating thousands of snapshots, the cleaner daemon had rarely died as above due to an error returned from the kernel code. After applying the recent patch which fixed memory allocation problems in ioctl (Message-Id: <20081215.155840.105124170.ryusuke@osrg.net>), the problem gets more frequent. It turned out to be a bug of nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy function and one of its callback routines to read out information of snapshots; if the nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy function divided a large read request into multiple requests, the second and later requests have failed since a restart position on snapshot meta data was not properly set forward. It's a deficiency of the callback interface that cannot pass the restart position among multiple requests. This patch fixes the issue by allowing nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy and snapshot read functions to exchange a position argument. Signed-off-by:

Pekka Enberg pointed out that double error handlings found after nilfs_transaction_end() can be avoided by separating abort operation: OK, I don't understand this. The only way nilfs_transaction_end() can fail is if we have NILFS_TI_SYNC set and we fail to construct the segment. But why do we want to construct a segment if we don't commit? I guess what I'm asking is why don't we have a separate nilfs_transaction_abort() function that can't fail for the erroneous case to avoid this double error value tracking thing? This does the separation and renames nilfs_transaction_end() to nilfs_transaction_commit() for clarification. Since, some calls of these functions were used just for exclusion control against the segment constructor, they are replaced with semaphore operations. Acked-by:

This is another patch for fixing the following problems of a memory copy function in nilfs2 ioctl: (1) It tries to allocate 128KB size of memory even for small objects. (2) Though the function repeatedly tries large memory allocations while reducing the size, GFP_NOWAIT flag is not specified. This increases the possibility of system memory shortage. (3) During the retries of (2), verbose warnings are printed because _GFP_NOWARN flag is not used for the kmalloc calls. The first patch was still doing large allocations by kmalloc which are repeatedly tried while reducing the size. Andi Kleen told me that using copy_from_user for large memory is not good from the viewpoint of preempt latency: On Fri, 12 Dec 2008 21:24:11 +0100, Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> wrote: > > In the current interface, each data item is copied twice: one is to > > the allocated memory from user space (via copy_from_user), and another > > For such large copies it is better to use multiple smaller (e.g. 4K) > copy user, that gives better real time preempt latencies.

For the function in question, the size of buffer memory can be reduced since the buffer is repeatedly used for a number of small objects. On the other hand, it may incur large preempt latencies for larger buffer because a copy_from_user (and a copy_to_user) was applied only once each cycle. With that, this revision uses the order 0 allocations with __get_free_pages() to fix the original problems. Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: -
