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).
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.
