2009-11-22ext4: fold ext4_journal_forget() into ext4_forget()Theodore Ts'o
Convert the last two callers of ext4_journal_forget() to use ext4_forget() instead, and then fold ext4_journal_forget() into ext4_forget(). This reduces are code complexity and shortens our call stack. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-11-24ext4: fold ext4_journal_revoke() into ext4_forget()Theodore Ts'o
The only caller of ext4_journal_revoke() is ext4_forget(), so we can fold ext4_journal_revoke() into ext4_forget() to simplify the code and shorten the call stack. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-11-22ext4: move ext4_forget() to ext4_jbd2.cTheodore Ts'o
The ext4_forget() function better belongs in ext4_jbd2.c. This will allow us to do some cleanup of the ext4_journal_revoke() and ext4_journal_forget() functions, as well as giving us better error reporting since we can report the caller of ext4_forget() when things go wrong.

2009-09-12ext4: Assure that metadata blocks are written during fsync in no journal modeTheodore Ts'o
When there is no journal present, we must attach buffer heads associated with extent tree and indirect blocks to the inode's mapping->private_list via mark_buffer_dirty_inode() so that ext4_sync_file() --- which is called to service fsync() and fdatasync() system calls --- can write out the inode's metadata blocks by calling sync_mapping_buffers().

2009-09-09ext4: Use bforget() in no journal mode for ext4_journal_{forget,revoke}()Theodore Ts'o
When ext4 is using a journal, a metadata block which is deallocated must be passed into the journal layer so it can be dropped from the current transaction and/or revoked. This is done by calling the functions ext4_journal_forget() and ext4_journal_revoke(), which call jbd2_journal_forget(), and jbd2_journal_revoke(), respectively. Since the jbd2_journal_forget() and jbd2_journal_revoke() call bforget(), if ext4 is not using a journal, ext4_journal_forget() and ext4_journal_revoke() must call bforget() to avoid a dirty metadata block overwriting a block after it has been reallocated and reused for another inode's data block.

2009-07-13ext4: Fix buffer head reference leak in no-journal modeCurt Wohlgemuth
We found a problem with buffer head reference leaks when using an ext4 partition without a journal. In particular, calls to ext4_forget() would not to a brelse() on the input buffer head, which will cause pages they belong to to not be reclaimable. Further investigation showed that all places where ext4_journal_forget() and ext4_journal_revoke() are called are subject to the same problem. The patch below changes __ext4_journal_forget/__ext4_journal_revoke to do an explicit release of the buffer head when the journal handle isn't valid.

2009-01-07ext4: Allow ext4 to run without a journalFrank Mayhar
A few weeks ago I posted a patch for discussion that allowed ext4 to run without a journal. Since that time I've integrated the excellent comments from Andreas and fixed several serious bugs. We're currently running with this patch and generating some performance numbers against both ext2 (with backported reservations code) and ext4 with and without a journal. It just so happens that running without a journal is slightly faster for most everything. We did iozone -T -t 4 s 2g -r 256k -T -I -i0 -i1 -i2 which creates 4 threads, each of which create and do reads and writes on a 2G file, with a buffer size of 256K, using O_DIRECT for all file opens to bypass the page cache. Results: ext2 ext4, default ext4, no journal initial writes 13.0 MB/s 15.4 MB/s 15.7 MB/s rewrites 13.1 MB/s 15.6 MB/s 15.9 MB/s reads 15.2 MB/s 16.9 MB/s 17.2 MB/s re-reads 15.3 MB/s 16.9 MB/s 17.2 MB/s random readers 5.6 MB/s 5.6 MB/s 5.7 MB/s random writers 5.1 MB/s 5.3 MB/s 5.4 MB/s So it seems that, so far, this was a useful exercise.

Move ext4 headers out of include/linux. This is just the trivial move, there's some more thing that could be done later. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
