inode that makes those changes valid is either written to disk by
lfs_writeinode() or discarded by lfs_vfree().
A couple of locking fixes are also included as well.
The writer daemon, if it does not need to flush the whole filesystem,
now only writes the vnodes for which the pagedaemon has requested pageouts
(although it does not pay attention to the page ranges the pagedaemon
supplies).
from macros to real functions. Original patch and review from chuq.
Note: ext2fs only keeps seconds in the on-disk inode, and msdosfs does not
have enough precision for all fields, so this is not very useful for those
two.
be assured that the last byte of a file is always allocated. Previously
a file extension could cause the filesystem to be flushed, writing an
inconsistent inode to disk. Although this condition would be corrected
the next time blocks were written to disk, an intervening crash would leave
the filesystem in an inconsistent state, leaving fsck_lfs to complain
of an inode "partially truncated".
stuff under '#ifdef DEBUG', and use sysctl knobs to turn on/off particular
parts of the debugging reporting (if DEBUG is enabled). Re-enable the LFS
statistics in sysctl, while I'm there. A bit of a rototill.
* Rather than using mnt_maxsymlinklen to indicate that a file systems returns
d_type fields(!), add a new internal flag, IMNT_DTYPE.
Add 3 new elements to ufsmount:
* um_maxsymlinklen, replaces mnt_maxsymlinklen (which never should have existed
in the first place).
* um_dirblksiz, which tracks the current directory block size, eliminating the
FS-specific checks littered throughout the code. This may be used later to
make the block size variable.
* um_maxfilesize, which is the maximum file size, possibly adjusted lower due
to implementation issues.
Sync some bug fixes from FFS into ext2fs, particularly:
* ffs_lookup.c 1.21, 1.28, 1.33, 1.48
* ffs_inode.c 1.43, 1.44, 1.45, 1.66, 1.67
* ffs_vnops.c 1.84, 1.85, 1.86
Clean up some crappy pointer frobnication.
setting those flags, it does not cause the inode to be written in the periodic
sync. This is used for writes to special files (devices and named pipes) and
FIFOs.
Do not preemptively sync updates to access times and modification times. They
are now updated in the inode only opportunistically, or when the file or device
is closed. (Really, it should be delayed beyond close, but this is enough to
help substantially with device nodes.)
And the most amusing part:
Trickle sync was broken on both FFS and ext2fs, in different ways. In FFS, the
periodic call to VFS_SYNC(MNT_LAZY) was still causing all file data to be
synced. In ext2fs, it was causing the metadata to *not* be synced. We now
only call VOP_UPDATE() on the node if we're doing MNT_LAZY. I've confirmed
that we do in fact trickle correctly now.
VOP_STRATEGY(bp) is replaced by one of two new functions:
- VOP_STRATEGY(vp, bp) Call the strategy routine of vp for bp.
- DEV_STRATEGY(bp) Call the d_strategy routine of bp->b_dev for bp.
DEV_STRATEGY(bp) is used only for block-to-block device situations.
virtual memory reservation and a private pool of memory pages -- by a scheme
based on memory pools.
This allows better utilization of memory because buffers can now be allocated
with a granularity finer than the system's native page size (useful for
filesystems with e.g. 1k or 2k fragment sizes). It also avoids fragmentation
of virtual to physical memory mappings (due to the former fixed virtual
address reservation) resulting in better utilization of MMU resources on some
platforms. Finally, the scheme is more flexible by allowing run-time decisions
on the amount of memory to be used for buffers.
On the other hand, the effectiveness of the LRU queue for buffer recycling
may be somewhat reduced compared to the traditional method since, due to the
nature of the pool based memory allocation, the actual least recently used
buffer may release its memory to a pool different from the one needed by a
newly allocated buffer. However, this effect will kick in only if the
system is under memory pressure.
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
filesystem (and other things that needed to be fixed before the tests
would complete), to wit:
* Include the fs ident in the filehandle; improve stale filehandle checks.
* Change definition of blksize() to use the on-dinode size instead of
the inode's i_size, so that fsck_lfs will work properly again.
* Use b_interlock in lfs_vtruncbuf.
* Postpone dirop reclamation until after the seglock has been released,
so that lfs_truncate is not called with the segment lock held.
* Don't loop in lfs_fsync(), just write everything and wait.
* Be more careful about the interlock/uobjlock in lfs_putpages: when we
lose this lock, we have to resynchronize dirtiness of pages in each
block.
* Be sure to always write indirect blocks and update metadata in
lfs_putpages; fixes a bug that caused blocks to be accounted to the
wrong segment.
64 bit block pointers, extended attribute storage, and a few
other things.
This commit does not yet include the code to manipulate the extended
storage (for e.g. ACLs), this will be done later.
Originally written by Kirk McKusick and Network Associates Laboratories for
FreeBSD.
(there are still some details to work out) but expect that to go
away soon. To support these basic changes (creation of lfs_putpages,
lfs_gop_write, mods to lfs_balloc) several other changes were made, to
wit:
* Create a writer daemon kernel thread whose purpose is to handle page
writes for the pagedaemon, but which also takes over some of the
functions of lfs_check(). This thread is started the first time an
LFS is mounted.
* Add a "flags" parameter to GOP_SIZE. Current values are
GOP_SIZE_READ, meaning that the call should return the size of the
in-core version of the file, and GOP_SIZE_WRITE, meaning that it
should return the on-disk size. One of GOP_SIZE_READ or
GOP_SIZE_WRITE must be specified.
* Instead of using malloc(...M_WAITOK) for everything, reserve enough
resources to get by and use malloc(...M_NOWAIT), using the reserves if
necessary. Use the pool subsystem for structures small enough that
this is feasible. This also obsoletes LFS_THROTTLE.
And a few that are not strictly necessary:
* Moves the LFS inode extensions off onto a separately allocated
structure; getting closer to LFS as an LKM. "Welcome to 1.6O."
* Unified GOP_ALLOC between FFS and LFS.
* Update LFS copyright headers to correct values.
* Actually cast to unsigned in lfs_shellsort, like the comment says.
* Keep track of which segments were empty before the previous
checkpoint; any segments that pass two checkpoints both dirty and
empty can be summarily cleaned. Do this. Right now lfs_segclean
still works, but this should be turned into an effectless
compatibility syscall.
try to reclaim them.
(workaround for deadlock noted in the comment in lfs_reserveavail)
- in lfs_rename, mark vnodes which are being moved as well as directry vnodes.
exist on an on-disk inode, we keep a record of its size in struct inode,
which is updated when we write the block to disk. The cleaner routines
thus have ready access to what size is the correct size for this block,
on disk.
Fixed a related bug: if a file with fragments is being cleaned
(fragments being cleaned) at the same time it is being extended beyond
NDADDR blocks, we could write a bogus FINFO record that has a frag in the
middle; when it was cleaned this would give back bogus file data. Don't
write the indirect blocks in this case, since there is no need.
lfs_fragextend and lfs_truncate no longer require the seglock, but instead
take a shared lock, which the seglock locks exclusively.
I found while making sure there weren't any new ones.
* Make the write clusters keep track of the buffers whose blocks they contain.
This should make it possible to (1) write clusters using a page mapping
instead of malloc, if desired, and (2) schedule blocks for rewriting
(somewhere else) if a write error occurs. Code is present to use
pagemove() to construct the clusters but that is untested and will go away
anyway in favor of page mapping.
* DEBUG now keeps a log of Ifile writes, so that any lingering instances of
the "dirty bufs" problem can be properly debugged.
* Keep track of whether the Ifile has been dirtied by various routines that
can be called by lfs_segwrite, and loop on that until it is clean, for
a checkpoint. Checkpoints need to be squeaky clean.
* Warn the user (once) if the Ifile grows larger than is reasonable for their
buffer cache. Both lfs_mountfs and lfs_unmount check since the Ifile can
grow.
* If an inode is not found in a disk block, try rereading the block, under
the assumption that the block was copied to a cluster and then freed.
* Protect WRITEINPROG() with splbio() to fix a hang in lfs_update.
