2011-06-03UBIFS: fix shrinker object count reportsArtem Bityutskiy
Sometimes VM asks the shrinker to return amount of objects it can shrink, and we return the ubifs_clean_zn_cnt in that case. However, it is possible that this counter is negative for a short period of time, due to the way UBIFS TNC code updates it. And I can observe the following warnings sometimes: shrink_slab: ubifs_shrinker+0x0/0x2b7 [ubifs] negative objects to delete nr=-8541616642706119788 This patch makes sure UBIFS never returns negative count of objects.

2010-09-19UBIFS: introduce new flags for RO mountsArtem Bityutskiy
Commit 2fde99cb55fb9d9b88180512a5e8a5d939d27fec "UBIFS: mark VFS SB RO too" introduced regression. This commit made UBIFS set the 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS superblock when it switches to R/O mode due to an error. This was done to make VFS show the R/O UBIFS flag in /proc/mounts. However, several places in UBIFS relied on the 'MS_RDONLY' flag and assume this flag can only change when we re-mount. For example, 'ubifs_put_super()'. This patch introduces new UBIFS flag - 'c->ro_mount' which changes only when we re-mount, and preserves the way UBIFS was originally mounted (R/W or R/O). This allows us to de-initialize UBIFS cleanly in 'ubifs_put_super()'. This patch also changes all 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)' assertions to 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media && !c->ro_mount)', because we never should write anything if the FS was mounter R/O. All the places where we test for 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS SB were changed and now we test the 'c->ro_mount' flag instead, because it preserves the original UBIFS mount type, unlike the 'MS_RDONLY' flag.

2010-09-17UBIFS: introduce new flag for RO due to errorsArtem Bityutskiy
The R/O state may have various reasons: 1. The UBI volume is R/O 2. The FS is mounted R/O 3. The FS switched to R/O mode because of an error However, in UBIFS we have only one variable which represents cases 1 and 3 - 'c->ro_media'. Indeed, we set this to 1 if we switch to R/O mode due to an error, and then we test it in many places to make sure that we stop writing as soon as the error happens. But this is very unclean. One consequence of this, for example, is that in 'ubifs_remount_fs()' we use 'c->ro_media' to check whether we are in R/O mode because on an error, and we print a message in this case. However, if we are in R/O mode because the media is R/O, our message is bogus. This patch introduces new flag - 'c->ro_error' which is set when we switch to R/O mode because of an error. It also changes all "if (c->ro_media)" checks to "if (c->ro_error)" checks, because this is what the checks actually mean. We do not need to check for 'c->ro_media' because if the UBI volume is in R/O mode, we do not allow R/W mounting, and now writes can happen. This is guaranteed by VFS. But it is good to double-check this, so this patch also adds many "ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)" checks. In the 'ubifs_remount_fs()' function this patch makes a bit more changes - it fixes the error messages as well. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-07-19mm: add context argument to shrinker callbackDave Chinner
The current shrinker implementation requires the registered callback to have global state to work from. This makes it difficult to shrink caches that are not global (e.g. per-filesystem caches). Pass the shrinker structure to the callback so that users can embed the shrinker structure in the context the shrinker needs to operate on and get back to it in the callback via container_of().
