2009-09-14nilfs2: add more check routines in mount processZhu Yanhai
nilfs2: Add more safeguard routines and protections in mount process, which also makes nilfs2 report consistency error messages when checkpoint number is invalid. Signed-off-by: Zhu Yanhai <zhu.yanhai@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-07-05nilfs2: fix disorder in cp count on error during deleting checkpointsJiro SEKIBA
This fixes a bug that checkpoint count gets wrong on errors when deleting a series of checkpoints. The count error is persistent since the checkpoint count is stored on disk. Some userland programs refer to the count via ioctl, and this bugfix is needed to prevent malfunction of such programs.

2009-06-11nilfs2: get rid of bd_mount_sem use from nilfsRyusuke Konishi
This will remove every bd_mount_sem use in nilfs. The intended exclusion control was replaced by the previous patch ("nilfs2: correct exclusion control in nilfs_remount function") for nilfs_remount(), and this patch will replace remains with a new mutex that this inserts in nilfs object.

2009-06-10nilfs2: return EBUSY against delete request on snapshotRyusuke Konishi
This helps userland programs like the rmcp command to distinguish error codes returned against a checkpoint removal request. Previously -EPERM was returned, and not discriminable from real permission errors. This also allows removal of the latest checkpoint because the deletion leads to create a new checkpoint, and thus it's harmless for the filesystem.

2009-06-10nilfs2: allow future expansion of metadata read out via get info ioctlRyusuke Konishi
Nilfs has some ioctl commands to read out metadata from meta data files: - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO for checkpoint file, - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUINFO for segment usage file, and - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_VINFO for Disk Address Transalation (DAT) file, respectively. Every routine on these metadata files is implemented so that it allows future expansion of on-disk format. But, the above ioctl commands do not support expansion even though nilfs_argv structure can handle arbitrary size for data exchanged via ioctl. This allows future expansion of the following structures which give basic format of the "get information" ioctls: - struct nilfs_cpinfo - struct nilfs_suinfo - struct nilfs_vinfo So, this introduces forward compatility of such ioctl commands. In this patch, a sanity check in nilfs_ioctl_get_info() function is changed to accept larger data structure [1], and metadata read routines are rewritten so that they become compatible for larger structures; the routines will just ignore the remaining fields which the current version of nilfs doesn't know. [1] The ioctl function already has another upper limit (PAGE_SIZE against a structure, which appears in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy function), and this will not cause security problem.

2009-05-30nilfs2: fix bh leak in nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints functionRyusuke Konishi
The nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints() wrongly skips brelse() for the header block of checkpoint file in case of errors. This fixes the leak bug. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-04-07nilfs2: replace BUG_ON and BUG calls triggerable from ioctlRyusuke Konishi

The BUG() > call in nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints(), for example, looks to be > triggerable from user-space via the ioctl() system call. This will follow the comment and keep them to a minimum.

2009-04-07nilfs2: fix buggy behavior seen in enumerating checkpointsRyusuke Konishi
This will fix the weird behavior of lscp command in listing continuously created checkpoints; the output of lscp is rewinded regularly for the recent nilfs. As a result of debugging, a defect was found in nilfs_cpfile_do_get_cpinfo() function. Though the function can be repeatedly called to enumerate checkpoints and it can skip invalid checkpoint entries, the index value was not carried between successive calls. The bug has long been present, and came to surface after applying a bugfix nilfs2-fix-problems-of-memory-allocation-in-ioctl.patch, which increased frequency of calling the function. The similar bugfix was already applied for ``snapshots'' by nilfs2-fix-gc-failure-on-volumes-keeping-numerous-snapshots.patch. This fixes the problem by making the index argument bidirectional on the function.

2009-04-07nilfs2: fix improper return values of nilfs_get_cpinfo ioctlRyusuke Konishi
A few tool developers gave me requests for fixing inconvenient return value of nilfs_get_cpinfo() ioctl; if the requested mode is NILFS_SNAPSHOT and the specified start entry is not a snapshot, the ioctl unnaturally returns one as the number of acquired snapshot item. In addition, the ioctl function returns an ENOENT error for checkpoints within blocks deleted by garbage collection. These behaviors require corrections for programs which enumerate snapshots. This resolves the inconvenience by changing the return values to zero for the above cases.

2009-04-07nilfs2: fix gc failure on volumes keeping numerous snapshotsRyusuke Konishi
This resolves the following failure of nilfs2 cleaner daemon: nilfs_cleanerd[20670]: cannot clean segments: No such file or directory nilfs_cleanerd[20670]: shutdown When creating thousands of snapshots, the cleaner daemon had rarely died as above due to an error returned from the kernel code. After applying the recent patch which fixed memory allocation problems in ioctl (Message-Id: <20081215.155840.105124170.ryusuke@osrg.net>), the problem gets more frequent. It turned out to be a bug of nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy function and one of its callback routines to read out information of snapshots; if the nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy function divided a large read request into multiple requests, the second and later requests have failed since a restart position on snapshot meta data was not properly set forward. It's a deficiency of the callback interface that cannot pass the restart position among multiple requests. This patch fixes the issue by allowing nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy and snapshot read functions to exchange a position argument.
