2010-10-23nilfs2: use iget for all metadata filesRyusuke Konishi
This makes use of iget5_locked to allocate or get inode for metadata files to stop using own inode allocator. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-11-20nilfs2: separate read method of meta data files on super root blockRyusuke Konishi
Will displace nilfs_mdt_read_inode_direct function with an individual read method: nilfs_dat_read, nilfs_sufile_read, nilfs_cpfile_read. This provides the opportunity to initialize local variables of each metadata file after reading the inode. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-11-20nilfs2: separate constructor of metadata filesRyusuke Konishi
This will displace nilfs_mdt_new() constructor with individual metadata file constructors like nilfs_dat_new(), new_sufile_new(), nilfs_cpfile_new(), and nilfs_ifile_new(). This makes it possible for each metadata file to have own intialization code. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-09-14nilfs2: add update functions of virtual block address to datRyusuke Konishi
This is a preparation for the successive cleanup ("nilfs2: allow btree to directly call dat operations"). This adds functions bundling a few operations to change an entry of virtual block address on the dat file. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-09-14nilfs2: remove individual gfp constants for each metadata fileRyusuke Konishi
This gets rid of NILFS_CPFILE_GFP, NILFS_SUFILE_GFP, NILFS_DAT_GFP, and NILFS_IFILE_GFP. All of these constants refer to NILFS_MDT_GFP, and can be removed. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-09-14nilfs2: remove nilfs_dat_abort_start and nilfs_dat_abort_freeRyusuke Konishi
These functions are not called from any functions. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
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.

2009-04-07nilfs2: disk address translatorKoji Sato
This adds the disk address translation file (DAT) whose primary function is to convert virtual disk block numbers to actual disk block numbers. The virtual block numbers of NILFS are associated with checkpoint generation numbers, and this file also provides functions to manage the lifetime information of each virtual block number.
