will DTRT with vnodes marked VDIROP. In particular, the message
"flushing VDIROP" will no longer appear, and the filesystem will remain
stable in the event of a crash.
This was particularly a problem with NFS-exported LFSes, since fsync
was called on every file close.
if the version number is higher than we know about. This allows, e.g.,
changes in the format of the ifile, segment size restrictions and boundaries,
etc., which would not affect existing fields in the superblock, but which
would drastically affect the filesystem, to be smoothly integrated at a
later date.
on (nodes which are not marked IN_MODIFIED/IN_CLEANING, but which have dirty
buffers), by marking them with the appropriate flag if dirtybuffers were added
while the write was in progress.
conditions. Also change the default setting of lfs_clean_vnhead to 0, which
seems to make the locking problems go away (although this is difficult to
test as I can't reliably reproduce them).
then immediately reloaded, their dinodes were located in an inode block
which was not on disk at the advertized location, nor in the cache (although
it would be flushed to disk next segment write). Fix this by using getblk()
instead of lfs_newbuf() for inode blocks.
for the first write. If this is not done, the cleaner may try to clean the
current segment out from under the writer if the filesystem is mounted after
a crash (or any other time that the dirty:clean segment ration is high enough).
* The MNT_UPDATE case had a null pointer dereference. (This is a good example
of why blindly adding bogus initializiers is a FUNDAMENTALLY BAD IDEA!)
* Make sure the whole ufsmount is zeroed, as the export code relies on this.
* If we decided to use the second/alternate superblock, make sure to copy the
in-core version from the right buffer.
Also, reenable NFS exporting.
in turn forces a flush of the vnode, whether or not it is involved in a dirop.
(This can happen during a remove or rmdir, when the directory is shrunk.)
Because of the nature of dirops, however, flushing a vnode involved in a dirop
is disallowed (and was marked with a panic). This patch has lfs_truncate
call a specialized vinvalbuf that only invalidates buffers following the new
end-of-file, and thus does not require a flush. Also the panic is demoted,
in case I missed any other path to lfs_vflush.
namely, toggle whether vnodes loaded only for cleaning (as opposed to
normal filesystem use) are freed to the *head* of the vnode free list,
rather than the tail. This should avoid a possible cache flushing
effect, if the cleaner cleans a segment containing a large number of
live inodes.
dirop is completely written to disk. This means that ordinary calls to
ufs vnops which would ordinarily call VOP_INACTIVE through vrele/vput,
don't. This patch detects that condition after such vnops have been
run, and calls VOP_INACTIVE if it would ordinarily have been called by
the ufs call.
if we are short on vnodes, lfs_vflush from another process can grab a
vnode that lfs_markv has already processed but not yet written; but
lfs_markv holds the seglock. When lfs_vflush gets around to writing it,
the context for copyin is gone. So, now lfs_markv calls copyin itself,
rather than having lfs_writeseg do it.
the LFS since the 4.4lite2 code was merged into NetBSD.
TODO updated to remove everything marked DONE in 4.4, and add in a list
of more current things to do.
Get rid of comments about the cleaner syscall code and missing fragment
support from README.
include:
- DIROP segregation is enabled, and greater care is taken
to make sure that a checkpoint completes. Fsck is not
needed to remount the filesystem.
- Several checks to make sure that the LFS subsystem does not
overuse various resources (memory, in particular).
- The cleaner routines, lfs_markv in particular, are completely
rewritten. A buffer overflow is removed. Greater care is taken
to ensure that inodes come from where lfs_cleanerd say they come
from (so we know nothing has changed since lfs_bmapv was called).
- Fragment allocation is fixed, so that writes beyond end-of-file
do the right thing.
