This adds a field to record the latest checkpoint number in the
nilfs_segment_summary structure. This will help to recover the latest
checkpoint number from logs on disk. This field is intended for
crucial cases in which super blocks have lost pointer to the latest
log.
Even though this will change the disk format, both backward and
forward compatibility is preserved by a size field prepared in the
segment summary header.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

This is a trivial patch to remove unnecessary condition.
load_segment_summary() checks crc of segment_summary OR crc of whole
log data blocks based on boolean argument full_check. However,
callers of the function pass only 1 as full_check, which means only
whole log data blocks checking code is running all the time.
This patch deletes the condition and full_check argument and also
deletes enum 'NILFS_SEG_FAIL_CHECKSUM_SEGSUM' and corresponding case
clause, for it is nolonger used anymore.

This inserts readahead in the recovery code. The readahead request is
issued per segment while searching the latest super root block.
This will shorten mount time after unclean unmount. A measurement
shows the recovery time was reduced by more than 60 percent:
e.g. real 0m11.586s -> 0m3.918s (x 2.96)

Unlike on most other architectures ino_t is an unsigned int on s390.
So add an explicit cast to avoid this compile warning:

This will eliminate obsolete list operations of nilfs_segment_entry
structure which has been used to handle mutiple segment numbers.
The patch ("nilfs2: remove list of freeing segments") removed use of
the structure from the segment constructor code, and this patch
simplifies the remaining code by integrating it into recovery.c.

Some function calls in nilfs_prepare_segment_for_recovery() may fail
because they can create blocks on meta data files without configuring
a writable FS-instance. Concretely, nilfs_mdt_create_block() routine
of meta data files will fail in that case.
This fixes the problem by temporarily attaching a writable FS-instace
during the function is called.

On-disk counters ndirtysegs and ncleansegs of sufile, can go wrong
after roll-forward recovery because
nilfs_prepare_segment_for_recovery() function marks segments dirty
without adjusting value of these counters.
This fixes the problem by adding a function to sufile which does the
operation adjusting the counters, and by letting the recovery function
use it.

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.

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.

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.

This adds recovery function on mount.
Usually the recovery is achieved by just finding the latest super
root. When logs without checkpoints were appended for data sync
operations after the latest super root, the recovery function will
perform roll forwarding and reconstruct new log(s) with a super root.
