f2fs: reserve the xattr space dynamically

2013-08-26T11:15:01+00:00

This patch enables the number of direct pointers inside on-disk inode block to
be changed dynamically according to the size of inline xattr space.

The number of direct pointers, ADDRS_PER_INODE, can be changed only if the file
has inline xattr flag.

The number of direct pointers that will be used by inline xattrs is defined as
F2FS_INLINE_XATTR_ADDRS.
Current patch assigns F2FS_INLINE_XATTR_ADDRS to 0 temporarily.

f2fs: fix wrong BUG_ON condition

2013-08-20T10:32:48+00:00

This patch removes a false-alaramed BUG_ON.
The previous BUG_ON condition didn't cover the following true scenario.

In f2fs_add_link, 1) get_new_data_page gives an uptodate page successfully,
and then, 2) init_inode_metadata returns -ENOSPC.
At this moment, a new clean data page is remained in the page cache, but its
block address still indicates NEW_ADDR.
After then, even if sync is called, this clean data page cannot be written to
the disk due to the clean state.

So this means that get_lock_data_page should make a new empty page when its
block address is NEW_ADDR and its page is not uptodated.

f2fs: fix a deadlock in fsync

2013-08-06T13:00:36+00:00

This patch fixes a deadlock bug that occurs quite often when there are
concurrent write and fsync on a same file.

Following is the simplified call trace when tasks get hung.

fsync thread:
- f2fs_sync_file
 ...
 - f2fs_write_data_pages
 ...
  - update_extent_cache
  ...
   - update_inode
    - wait_on_page_writeback

bdi writeback thread
- __writeback_single_inode
 - f2fs_write_data_pages
  - mutex_lock(sbi->writepages)

The deadlock happens when the fsync thread waits on a inode page that has
been added to the f2fs' cached bio sbi->bio[NODE], and unfortunately,
no one else could be able to submit the cached bio to block layer for
writeback. This is because the fsync thread already hold a sbi->fs_lock and
the sbi->writepages lock, causing the bdi thread being blocked when attempt
to write data pages for the same inode. At the same time, f2fs_gc thread
does not notice the situation and could not help. Even the sync syscall
gets blocked.

To fix it, we could submit the cached bio first before waiting on a inode page
that is being written back.

f2fs: remove redundant code from f2fs_write_begin

2013-08-06T13:00:35+00:00

This code is being used for nobh_write_end() function.
But since now f2fs_write_end function is added so
there is no need for this code.

f2fs: remove an unneeded kfree(NULL)

2013-07-31T10:07:01+00:00

This kfree() is no longer needed after a79dc083d7 "f2fs: move
bio_private allocation out of f2fs_bio_alloc()".  The "bio->bi_private"
is NULL here so it's a no-op.

f2fs: move bio_private allocation out of f2fs_bio_alloc()

2013-07-30T06:17:03+00:00

bio->bi_private is not always needed. As in the reading data path,
end_read_io does not need bio_private for further using, so moving
bio_private allocation out of f2fs_bio_alloc(). Alloc it in the
submit_write_page(), and ignore it in the f2fs_readpage().

f2fs: fix to recover i_size from roll-forward

2013-07-01T23:48:16+00:00

If user requests many data writes and fsync together, the last updated i_size
should be stored to the inode block consistently.

But, previous write_end just marks the inode as dirty and doesn't update its
metadata into its inode block.
After that, fsync just writes the inode block with newly updated data index
excluding inode metadata updates.

So, this patch introduces write_end in which updates inode block too when the
i_size is changed.
