jffs2: Fix corruption when flash erase/write failure

2009-05-29T09:44:46+00:00

Erase errors such as:
"Newly-erased block contained word 0xa4ef223e at offset 0x0296a014"
and failure to write the clean marker,
moves the offending erase block to erasing list before calling
jffs2_erase_failed(). This is bad as jffs2_erase_failed() will
also move the block to the bad_list, but is now moving the
wrong block, causing FS corruption.

current->fs->umask is what most of fs_struct users are doing.
Put that into a helper function.

[JFFS2] fix mount crash caused by removed nodes

2009-02-21T10:09:29+00:00

At scan time we observed following scenario:

   node A inserted
   node B inserted
   node C inserted -> sets overlapped flag on node B

   node A is removed due to CRC failure -> overlapped flag on node B remains

   while (tn->overlapped)
   	 tn = tn_prev(tn);

   ==> crash, when tn_prev(B) is referenced.

When the ultimate node is removed at scan time and the overlapped flag
is set on the penultimate node, then nothing updates the overlapped
flag of that node. The overlapped iterators blindly expect that the
ultimate node does not have the overlapped flag set, which causes the
scan code to crash.

It would be a huge overhead to go through the node chain on node
removal and fix up the overlapped flags, so detecting such a case on
the fly in the overlapped iterators is a simpler and reliable
solution.

[JFFS2] force the jffs2 GC daemon to behave a bit better

2009-02-14T08:59:04+00:00

I've noticed some pretty poor behavior on OLPC machines after bootup, when
gdm/X are starting.  The GCD monopolizes the scheduler (which in turns
means it gets to do more nand i/o), which results in processes taking much
much longer than they should to start.

As an example, on an OLPC machine going from OFW to a usable X (via
auto-login gdm) takes 2m 30s.  The majority of this time is consumed by
the switch into graphical mode.  With this patch, we cut a full 60s off of
bootup time.  After bootup, things are much snappier as well.

Note that we have seen a CRC node error with this patch that causes the machine
to fail to boot, but we've also seen that problem without this patch.

[JFFS2] remove junk prototypes

2009-01-09T21:05:21+00:00

'rb_prev()', 'rb_next()' and 'rb_replace_node()' are declared in
include/linux/rbtree.h, no need for JFFS2 to re-declare them. I
believe these are left-overs from the old days when the common
RB tree code did not have those call and JFFS2 had private
implementation.

fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix

2009-01-04T21:33:20+00:00

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened.  They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim.  This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.

The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called.  It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock.  The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.

Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS.  Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function.  Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).

This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg.  ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

[ Cleaned up the calling convention: just pass in the AOP flags
