nilfs2: remove wbc->for_reclaim handling

2025-05-21T17:48:23+00:00

Since commit 013a07052a1a ("nilfs2: convert metadata aops from writepage
to writepages"), nilfs_mdt_write_folio can't be called from reclaim
context any more.  Remove the code keyed of the wbc->for_reclaim flag,
which is now only set for writing out swap or shmem pages inside the swap
code, but never passed to file systems.

treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12+00:00

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

nilfs2: revise the return value description style for consistency.

2025-01-25T06:47:25+00:00

Also for comments that do not cause kernel-doc warnings (those that list
multiple error codes), revise the return value description style to match
Brian G.'s suggestion of "..., or one of the following negative error
codes on failure:".

nilfs2: add missing return value kernel-doc descriptions

2025-01-25T06:47:25+00:00

There are a number of kernel-doc comments for functions that are missing
return values, which also causes a number of warnings when the kernel-doc
script is run with the "-Wall" option.

Fix this issue by adding proper return value descriptions, and improve
code maintainability.

nilfs2: correct return value kernel-doc descriptions for the rest

2025-01-25T06:47:25+00:00

Similar to the previous changes to fix return value descriptions, this
fixes the format of the return value descriptions of functions for the
rest.

nilfs2: protect access to buffers with no active references

2025-01-25T06:47:24+00:00

nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers(), which iterates through the buffers
attached to dirty data folios/pages, accesses the attached buffers without
locking the folios/pages.

For data cache, nilfs_clear_folio_dirty() may be called asynchronously
when the file system degenerates to read only, so
nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() still has the potential to cause use
after free issues when buffers lose the protection of their dirty state
midway due to this asynchronous clearing and are unintentionally freed by
try_to_free_buffers().

Eliminate this race issue by adjusting the lock section in this function.

Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Many singleton patches - please see the various changelogs for
details.

Quite a lot of nilfs2 work this time around.

Notable patch series in this pull request are:

- "mul_u64_u64_div_u64: new implementation" by Nicolas Pitre, with
assistance from Uwe Kleine-König. Reimplement mul_u64_u64_div_u64()
to provide (much) more accurate results. The current implementation
was causing Uwe some issues in the PWM drivers.

- "xz: Updates to license, filters, and compression options" from
Lasse Collin. Miscellaneous maintenance and kinor feature work to
the xz decompressor.

- "Fix some GDB command error and add some GDB commands" from
Kuan-Ying Lee. Fixes and enhancements to the gdb scripts.

- "treewide: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros" from Jeff
Johnson. Adds lots of MODULE_DESCRIPTIONs, thus fixing lots of
warnings about this.

- "nilfs2: add support for some common ioctls" from Ryusuke Konishi.
Adds various commonly-available ioctls to nilfs2.

- "This series fixes a number of formatting issues in kernel doc
comments" from Ryusuke Konishi does that.

- "nilfs2: prevent unexpected ENOENT propagation" from Ryusuke
Konishi. Fix issues where -ENOENT was being unintentionally and
inappropriately returned to userspace.

- "nilfs2: assorted cleanups" from Huang Xiaojia.

- "nilfs2: fix potential issues with empty b-tree nodes" from Ryusuke
Konishi fixes some issues which can occur on corrupted nilfs2
filesystems.

- "scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: improve error reporting and
usability" from Luca Ceresoli does those things"

nilfs2: refactor nilfs_segctor_thread()

2024-09-02T03:43:44+00:00

Simplify nilfs_segctor_thread(), the main loop function of the log writer
thread, to make the basic structure easier to understand.

In particular, the acquisition and release of the sc_state_lock spinlock
was scattered throughout the function, so extract the determination of
whether log writing is required into a helper function and make the
spinlock lock sections clearer.

nilfs2: use kthread_create and kthread_stop for the log writer thread

2024-09-02T03:43:44+00:00

By using kthread_create() and kthread_stop() to start and stop the log
writer thread, eliminate custom thread start and stop helpers, as well as
the wait queue "sc_wait_task" on the "nilfs_sc_info" struct and
NILFS_SEGCTOR_QUIT flag that exist only to implement them.

Also, update the kernel doc comments of the changed functions as
appropriate.
