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.
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.
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.
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.
- added an "union inode_ext" to struct inode, for the per-fs extentions.
For now only ext2fs uses it.
- i_din is now an union:
union {
struct dinode ffs_din; /* 128 bytes of the on-disk dinode. */
struct ext2fs_dinode e2fs_din; /* 128 bytes of the on-disk dinode. */
} i_din
Added a lot of #define i_ffs_* and i_e2fs_* to access the fields.
- Added two macros: FFS_ITIMES and EXT2FS_ITIMES. ITIMES calls the rigth
macro, depending on the time of the inode. ITIMES is used where necessary,
FFS_ITIMES and EXT2FS_ITIMES in other places.
