f2fs: clarify and enhance the f2fs_gc flow

2013-02-11T22:15:02+00:00

This patch makes clearer the ambiguous f2fs_gc flow as follows.

1. Remove intermediate checkpoint condition during f2fs_gc
 (i.e., should_do_checkpoint() and GC_BLOCKED)

2. Remove unnecessary return values of f2fs_gc because of #1.
 (i.e., GC_NODE, GC_OK, etc)

3. Simplify write_checkpoint() because of #2.

4. Clarify the main f2fs_gc flow.
 o monitor how many freed sections during one iteration of do_garbage_collect().
 o do GC more without checkpoints if we can't get enough free sections.
 o do checkpoint once we've got enough free sections through forground GCs.

5. Adopt thread-logging (Slack-Space-Recycle) scheme more aggressively on data
  log types. See. get_ssr_segement()

f2fs: optimize the return condition for has_not_enough_free_secs

2013-02-11T22:15:02+00:00

Instead of evaluating the free_sections and then deciding to return
true/false from that path. We can directly use the evaluation condition
for returning proper value.

f2fs: make an accessor to get sections for particular block type

2013-02-11T22:15:02+00:00

Introduce accessor to get the sections based upon the block type
(node,dents...) and modify the functions : should_do_checkpoint,
has_not_enough_free_secs to use this accessor function to get
the node sections and dent sections.

f2fs: fix equation of has_not_enough_free_secs()

2012-12-28T02:24:10+00:00

Practically, has_not_enough_free_secs() should calculate with the numbers of
current node and directory data blocks together.
Actually the equation was implemented in need_to_flush().

So, this patch removes need_flush() and moves the equation into
has_not_enough_free_secs().

f2fs: cleanup the f2fs_bio_alloc routine

2012-12-11T04:43:45+00:00

Do cleanup more for better code readability.

- Change the parameter set of f2fs_bio_alloc()
  This function should allocate a bio only since it is not something like
  f2fs_bio_init(). Instead, the caller should initialize the allocated bio.

- Introduce SECTOR_FROM_BLOCK
  This macro translates a block address to its sector address.

f2fs: adjust kernel coding style

2012-12-11T04:43:42+00:00

As pointed out by Randy Dunlap, this patch removes all usage of "/**" for comment
blocks. Instead, just use "/*".

f2fs: add superblock and major in-memory structure

2012-12-11T04:43:40+00:00

This adds the following major in-memory structures in f2fs.

- f2fs_sb_info:
  contains f2fs-specific information, two special inode pointers for node and
  meta address spaces, and orphan inode management.

- f2fs_inode_info:
  contains vfs_inode and other fs-specific information.

- f2fs_nm_info:
  contains node manager information such as NAT entry cache, free nid list,
  and NAT page management.

- f2fs_node_info:
  represents a node as node id, inode number, block address, and its version.

- f2fs_sm_info:
  contains segment manager information such as SIT entry cache, free segment
  map, current active logs, dirty segment management, and segment utilization.
  The specific structures are sit_info, free_segmap_info, dirty_seglist_info,
  curseg_info.

In addition, add F2FS_SUPER_MAGIC in magic.h.
