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.

Replace inode_setattr with opencoded variants of it in all callers. This
moves the remaining call to vmtruncate into the filesystem methods where it
can be replaced with the proper truncate sequence.
In a few cases it was obvious that we would never end up calling vmtruncate
so it was left out in the opencoded variant:
spufs: explicitly checks for ATTR_SIZE earlier
btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier
ufs: contains an opencoded simple_seattr + truncate that sets the filesize just above
In addition to that ncpfs called inode_setattr with handcrafted iattrs,
which allowed to trim down the opencoded variant.

Split up the block_write_begin implementation - __block_write_begin is a new

allocated pages from block_write_begin after switching all callers that

For filesystem that implement directories in pagecache we call
block_write_begin with an already allocated page for this code, while the
normal regular file write path uses the default block_write_begin behaviour.
Get rid of the __foofs_write_begin helper and opencode the normal write_begin
call in foofs_write_begin, while adding a new foofs_prepare_chunk helper for
the directory code. The added benefit is that foofs_prepare_chunk has
a much saner calling convention.
Note that the interruptible flag passed into block_write_begin is always
ignored if we already pass in a page (see next patch for details), and
we never were doing truncations of exessive blocks for this case either so we
can switch directly to block_write_begin_newtrunc.

Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.
Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

This inserts sanity check that refuses to mount a filesystem with
unsupported block size.
Previously, kernel code of nilfs was looking only limitation of
devices though mkfs.nilfs2 limits the range of block sizes; there was
no check that prevents rec_len overflow with larger block sizes.
With this change, block sizes larger than 64KB or smaller than 1KB
will get rejected explicitly by kernel.

With 64KB blocksize, a directory entry can have size 64KB which does
not fit into 16 bits we have for entry length. So this patch stores
0xffff instead and converts value when read from / written to disk.
Nilfs derives its directory implementation from ext2 filesystem, and
this draws upon the corresponding change on ext2.

Implementation of nilfs_get_page() is a bit old as below:
- A common read_mapping_page inline function is now available instead
of its read_cache_page use.
- wait_on_page_locked() use in the function is eliminable since
read_cache_page function does the same thing through wait_on_page_read().
- PageUptodate() check is eliminable for the same reason.
This renews nilfs_get_page() based on these points.

This applies read-ahead to nilfs_btree_do_lookup and
nilfs_btree_lookup_contig functions and extends them to read ahead
siblings of level 1 btree nodes that hold data blocks.
At present, the read-ahead is not applied to most btree operations;
only get_block() callback function, which is used during read of
regular files or directories, receives the benefit.

This adds __nilfs_btree_get_block() function that can issue a series

This adds mode argument to nilfs_btnode_submit_block() function and
allows it to issue a read-ahead request.
An optional submit_ptr argument is also added to store the actual

nilfs_btnode_submit_block() refers to buffer head just before

The patch "reduce repetitive calculation of max number of child nodes"
gathered up the calculation of maximum number of child nodes into
nilfs_btree_nchildren_per_block() function. This makes the function
get resultant value from a private variable in bmap object instead of
calculating it for each call.
Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
The current btree implementation repeats the same calculation on the
maximum number of child nodes. This is because a few low level
routines use the calculation for index addressing in a btree node
block.
This reduces the calculation by explicitly passing the maximum number
of child nodes (ncmax) through their argument.
This changes parameter passing of the following functions:
- nilfs_btree_node_dptrs
- nilfs_btree_node_get_ptr
- nilfs_btree_node_set_ptr
- nilfs_btree_node_init
- nilfs_btree_node_move_left
- nilfs_btree_node_move_right
- nilfs_btree_node_insert
- nilfs_btree_node_delete, and
- nilfs_btree_get_node
The following functions are removed:
- nilfs_btree_node_nchildren_min
- nilfs_btree_node_nchildren_max
Most middle level btree operations are rewritten to pass a proper
ncmax value depending on whether each occurrence of node is "root" or
not.
A constant NILFS_BTREE_ROOT_NCHILDREN_MAX is used for the root node,
whereas nilfs_btree_nchildren_per_block() function is used for
non-root nodes. If a node could be either root or a non-root node, an
output argument of nilfs_btree_get_node() is used to set up ncmax.
Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
nilfs_btree_node_nchildren_max() and nilfs_btree_node_nchildren_min()
functions switch return value depending on whether target node is the
root or a node block. In most uses of these functions, however, the
node type is fixed, and moreover the same calculation is repeatedly
performed in loop.
This unfold these functions depending on context and move them outside
loops wherever possible.

Super blocks of nilfs are periodically overwritten in order to record
the recent log position. This shortens recovery time after unclean
unmount, but the current implementation performs the update even for a
few blocks of change. If the filesystem gets small changes slowly and
continually, super blocks may be updated excessively.
This moderates the issue by skipping update of log cursor if it does
not cross a segment boundary.

Although nilfs redundantly uses two super blocks and each may point to
different position on log, the current version of nilfs does not try
fallback to the spare super block when it doesn't find any valid log
at the position that the primary super block points to.
This has been a cause of mount failures due to write order reversals
on barrier less block devices.
This inserts fallback code in error path of nilfs_search_super_root
routine to resolve the mount failure problem.

This will sync super blocks in turns instead of syncing duplicate
super blocks at the time. This will help searching valid super root
when super block is written into disk before log is written, which is
happen when barrier-less block devices are unmounted uncleanly. In
the situation, old super block likely points to valid log.
This patch introduces ns_sbwcount member to the nilfs object and adds
nilfs_sb_will_flip() function; ns_sbwcount counts how many times super
blocks write back to the disk. And, nilfs_sb_will_flip() decides
whether flipping required or not based on the count of ns_sbwcount to
sync super blocks asymmetrically.
The following functions are also changed:
- nilfs_prepare_super(): flips super blocks according to the
argument. The argument is calculated by nilfs_sb_will_flip()
function.
- nilfs_cleanup_super(): sets "clean" flag to both super blocks if
they point to the same checkpoint.
To update both of super block information, caller of
nilfs_commit_super must set the information on both super blocks.
