2009-11-30nilfs2: separate wait function from nilfs_segctor_writeRyusuke Konishi
This separates wait function for submitted logs from the write function nilfs_segctor_write(). A new list of segment buffers "sc_write_logs" is added to hold logs under writing, and double buffering is partially applied to hide io latency. At this point, the double buffering is disabled for blocksize < pagesize because page dirty flag is turned off during write and dirty buffers are not properly collected for pages crossing over segments. To receive full benefit of the double buffering, further refinement is needed to move the io wait outside the lock section of log writer.

2009-11-30nilfs2: add iterator for segment buffersRyusuke Konishi
This adds a few iterator functions for segment buffers to make it easy to handle multiple series of logs. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-11-30nilfs2: hide nilfs_write_info struct in segment buffer codeRyusuke Konishi
Hides nilfs_write_info struct and nilfs_segbuf_prepare_write function in segbuf.c to simplify the interface of nilfs_segbuf_write function. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-11-30nilfs2: relocate io status variables to segment bufferRyusuke Konishi
This moves io status variables in nilfs_write_info struct to nilfs_segment_buffer struct. This is a preparation to hide nilfs_write_info in segment buffer code. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-11-29nilfs2: do not return io error for bio allocation failureRyusuke Konishi
Previously, log writer had possibility to set an io error flag on segments even in case of memory allocation failure. This fixes the issue. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-09-14nilfs2: use GFP_NOIO for bio_alloc instead of GFP_NOWAITRyusuke Konishi
Alberto Bertogli advised me about bio_alloc() use in nilfs: On Sat, 13 Jun 2009 22:52:40 -0300, Alberto Bertogli wrote: > By the way, those bio_alloc()s are using GFP_NOWAIT but it looks > like they could use at least GFP_NOIO or GFP_NOFS, since the caller > can (and sometimes do) sleep.

This takes in the comment and replaces the use of GFP_NOWAIT flag with GFP_NOIO. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-06-10nilfs2: set bio unplug flag for the last bio in segmentRyusuke Konishi
This sets BIO_RW_UNPLUG flag on the last bio of each segment during write. The last bio should be unplugged immediately because the caller waits for the completion after the submission. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-06-10nilfs2: eliminate removal list of segmentsRyusuke Konishi
This will clean up the removal list of segments and the related functions from segment.c and ioctl.c, which have hurt code readability. This elimination is applied by using nilfs_sufile_updatev() previously introduced in the patch ("nilfs2: add sufile function that can modify multiple segment usages").

2009-04-07nilfs2: simplify handling of active state of segmentsRyusuke Konishi
will reduce some lines of segment constructor. Previously, the state was complexly controlled through a list of segments in order to keep consistency in meta data of usage state of segments. Instead, this presents ``calculated'' active flags to userland cleaner program and stop maintaining its real flag on disk. Only by this fake flag, the cleaner cannot exactly know if each segment is reclaimable or not. However, the recent extension of nilfs_sustat ioctl struct (nilfs2-extend-nilfs_sustat-ioctl-struct.patch) can prevent the cleaner from reclaiming in-use segment wrongly. So, now I can apply this for simplification.

2009-04-07nilfs2: segment bufferRyusuke Konishi
This adds the segment buffer which is used to constuct logs. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: BIO_RW_SYNC got removed] Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
