jbd2: fix kernel-doc markups

2020-11-20T03:38:29+00:00

Kernel-doc markup should use this format:
        identifier - description

They should not have any type before that, as otherwise
the parser won't do the right thing.

Also, some identifiers have different names between their
prototypes and the kernel-doc markup.

jbd2: fix up sparse warnings in checkpoint code

2020-11-07T05:09:08+00:00

Add missing __acquires() and __releases() annotations.  Also, in an
"this should never happen" WARN_ON check, if it *does* actually
happen, we need to release j_state_lock since this function is always
supposed to release that lock.  Otherwise, things will quickly grind
to a halt after the WARN_ON trips.

jbd2: don't read journal->j_commit_sequence without taking a lock

jbd2: don't touch buffer state until it is filled

2020-11-07T04:01:04+00:00

Fast commit buffers should be filled in before toucing their
state. Remove code that sets buffer state as dirty before the buffer
is passed to the file system.

jbd2: add todo for a fast commit performance optimization

2020-11-07T04:01:03+00:00

Fast commit performance can be optimized if commit thread doesn't wait
for ongoing fast commits to complete until the transaction enters
T_FLUSH state. Document this optimization.

jbd2: don't pass tid to jbd2_fc_end_commit_fallback()

2020-11-07T04:01:03+00:00

In jbd2_fc_end_commit_fallback(), we know which tid to commit. There's
no need for caller to pass it.

jbd2: don't use state lock during commit path

2020-11-07T04:01:03+00:00

Variables journal->j_fc_off, journal->j_fc_wbuf are accessed during
commit path. Since today we allow only one process to perform a fast
commit, there is no need take state lock before accessing these
variables. This patch removes these locks and adds comments to
describe this.

ext4: clean up the JBD2 API that initializes fast commits

2020-11-07T04:01:03+00:00

This patch removes jbd2_fc_init() API and its related functions to
simplify enabling fast commits. With this change, the number of fast
commit blocks to use is solely determined by the JBD2 layer. So, we
move the default value for minimum number of fast commit blocks from
ext4/fast_commit.h to include/linux/jbd2.h. However, whether or not to
use fast commits is determined by the file system. The file system
just sets the fast commit feature using
jbd2_journal_set_features(). JBD2 layer then determines how many
blocks to use for fast commits (based on the value found in the JBD2
superblock).

Note that the JBD2 feature flag of fast commits is just an indication
that there are fast commit blocks present on disk. It doesn't tell
JBD2 layer about the intent of the file system of whether to it wants
to use fast commit or not. That's why, we blindly clear the fast
commit flag in journal_reset() after the recovery is done.

jbd2: rename j_maxlen to j_total_len and add jbd2_journal_max_txn_bufs

2020-11-07T04:01:02+00:00

The on-disk superblock field sb->s_maxlen represents the total size of
the journal including the fast commit area and is no more the max
number of blocks available for a transaction. The maximum number of
blocks available to a transaction is reduced by the number of fast
commit blocks. So, this patch renames j_maxlen to j_total_len to
better represent its intent. Also, it adds a function to calculate max
number of bufs available for a transaction.
