2008-09-17UBIFS: TNC / GC race fixesAdrian Hunter
- update GC sequence number if any nodes may have been moved even if GC did not finish the LEB - don't ignore error return when reading Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2008-08-25UBIFS: allow for racing between GC and TNCAdrian Hunter
The TNC mutex is unlocked prematurely when reading leaf nodes with non-hashed keys. This is unsafe because the node may be moved by garbage collection and the eraseblock unmapped, although that has never actually happened during stress testing. This patch fixes the flaw by detecting the race and retrying with the TNC mutex locked. Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com>
2008-08-25UBIFS: always read hashed-key nodes under TNC mutexAdrian Hunter
Leaf-nodes that have a hashed key are stored in the leaf-node-cache (LNC) which is protected by the TNC mutex. Consequently, when reading a leaf node with a hashed key (i.e. directory entries, xattr entries) the TNC mutex is always required. Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com>
