* nilfs2: allow future expansion of metadata read out via get info ioctlRyusuke Konishi2009-06-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nilfs has some ioctl commands to read out metadata from meta data files: - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO for checkpoint file, - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUINFO for segment usage file, and - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_VINFO for Disk Address Transalation (DAT) file, respectively. Every routine on these metadata files is implemented so that it allows future expansion of on-disk format. But, the above ioctl commands do not support expansion even though nilfs_argv structure can handle arbitrary size for data exchanged via ioctl. This allows future expansion of the following structures which give basic format of the "get information" ioctls: - struct nilfs_cpinfo - struct nilfs_suinfo - struct nilfs_vinfo So, this introduces forward compatility of such ioctl commands. In this patch, a sanity check in nilfs_ioctl_get_info() function is changed to accept larger data structure [1], and metadata read routines are rewritten so that they become compatible for larger structures; the routines will just ignore the remaining fields which the current version of nilfs doesn't know. [1] The ioctl function already has another upper limit (PAGE_SIZE against a structure, which appears in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy function), and this will not cause security problem.

* nilfs2: eliminate removal list of segmentsRyusuke Konishi2009-06-101-22/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | This will clean up the removal list of segments and the related functions from segment.c and ioctl.c, which have hurt code readability. This elimination is applied by using nilfs_sufile_updatev() previously introduced in the patch ("nilfs2: add sufile function that can modify multiple segment usages").

* nilfs2: add sufile function that can modify multiple segment usagesRyusuke Konishi2009-06-101-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | This is a preparation for the later cleanup patch ("nilfs2: remove list of freeing segments"). This adds nilfs_sufile_updatev() to sufile, which can modify multiple segment usages at a time. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* nilfs2: fix possible mismatch of sufile counters on recoveryRyusuke Konishi2009-04-131-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* nilfs2: segment usage file cleanupsRyusuke Konishi2009-04-131-4/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This will simplify sufile.c by sharing common code which repeatedly appears in routines updating a segment usage entry; a wrapper function nilfs_sufile_update() is introduced for the purpose, and counter modifications are integrated to a new function nilfs_sufile_mod_counter(). This is a preparation for the successive bugfix patch ("nilfs2: fix possible mismatch of sufile counters on recovery"). Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* nilfs2: segment usage fileKoji Sato2009-04-071-0/+54
This adds a meta data file which stores the allocation state of segments.
