nilfs2: move ioctl interface and disk layout to uapi separately

2016-08-02T23:35:21+00:00

The header file "include/linux/nilfs2_fs.h" is composed of parts for
ioctl and disk format, and both are intended to be shared with user
space programs.

This moves them to the uapi directory "include/uapi/linux" splitting the
file to "nilfs2_api.h" and "nilfs2_ondisk.h".  The following minor
changes are accompanied by this migration:

 - nilfs_direct_node struct in nilfs2/direct.h is converged to
   nilfs2_ondisk.h because it's an on-disk structure.
 - inline functions nilfs_rec_len_from_disk() and
   nilfs_rec_len_to_disk() are moved to nilfs2/dir.c.

nilfs2: clean up old e-mail addresses

2016-05-24T00:04:14+00:00

E-mail addresses of osrg.net domain are no longer available.  This
removes them from authorship notices and prevents reporters from being
confused.

nilfs2: remove FSF mailing address from GPL notices

2016-05-24T00:04:14+00:00

This removes the extra paragraph which mentions FSF address in GPL
notices from source code of nilfs2 and avoids the checkpatch.pl error
related to it.

nilfs2: fix sanity check of btree level in nilfs_btree_root_broken()

2015-05-06T00:10:11+00:00

The range check for b-tree level parameter in nilfs_btree_root_broken()
is wrong; it accepts the case of "level == NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX" even
though the level is limited to values in the range of 0 to
(NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX - 1).

Since the level parameter is read from storage device and used to index
nilfs_btree_path array whose element count is NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX, it
can cause memory overrun during btree operations if the boundary value
is set to the level parameter on device.

This fixes the broken sanity check and adds a comment to clarify that
the upper bound NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX is exclusive.

nilfs2: verify metadata sizes read from disk

2014-04-03T23:21:26+00:00

Add code to check sizes of on-disk data of metadata files such as inode
size, segment usage size, DAT entry size, and checkpoint size.  Although
these sizes are read from disk, the current implementation doesn't check
them.

If these sizes are not sane on disk, it can cause out-of-range access to
metadata or memory access overrun on metadata block buffers due to
overflow in sundry calculations.

Both lower limit and upper limit of metadata sizes are verified to
prevent these issues.

nilfs2: implementation of NILFS_IOCTL_SET_SUINFO ioctl

2014-04-03T23:21:25+00:00

With this ioctl the segment usage entries in the SUFILE can be updated
from userspace.

This is useful, because it allows the userspace GC to modify and update
segment usage entries for specific segments, which enables it to avoid
unnecessary write operations.

If a segment needs to be cleaned, but there is no or very little
reclaimable space in it, the cleaning operation basically degrades to a
useless moving operation.  In the end the only thing that changes is the
location of the data and a timestamp in the segment usage information.
With this ioctl the GC can skip the cleaning and update the segment
usage entries directly instead.

This is basically a shortcut to cleaning the segment.  It is still
necessary to read the segment summary information, but the writing of
the live blocks can be skipped if it's not worth it.

nilfs2: add struct nilfs_suinfo_update and flags

2014-04-03T23:21:25+00:00

Add the nilfs_suinfo_update structure, which contains the information
needed to update one segment usage entry.  The flags specify, which
fields need to be updated.
