Leandro Lucarella gave me a report that nilfs gets stuck after its
write function fails.
The problem turned out to be caused by bugs which leave writeback flag
on pages. This fixes the problem by ensuring to clear the writeback
flag in error path.

The following error code handling in nilfs_segctor_write() function
wrongly converted negative error codes to a truth value (i.e. 1):
err = unlikely(err) ? : res;
which originaly meant to be
err = err ? : res;
This mis-conversion caused that write or sync functions receive the
unexpected error code. This fixes the bug by removing the unlikely
directive.

nilfs_remount() changes mount state of a superblock instance. Even
though nilfs accesses other superblock instances during mount or
remount, the mount state was not properly protected in
nilfs_remount().
Moreover, nilfs_remount() has a lock order reversal problem;
nilfs_get_sb() holds:
1. bdev->bd_mount_sem
2. sb->s_umount (sget acquires)
and nilfs_remount() holds:
1. sb->s_umount (locked by the caller in vfs)
2. bdev->bd_mount_sem
To avoid these problems, this patch divides a semaphore protecting
super block instances from nilfs->ns_sem, and applies it to the mount
state protection in nilfs_remount().
With this change, bd_mount_sem use is removed from nilfs_remount() and
the lock order reversal will be resolved. And the new rw-semaphore,
nilfs->ns_super_sem will properly protect the mount state except the
modification from nilfs_error function.

This simplifies the test function passed on the remaining sget()
callsite in nilfs.
Instead of checking mount type (i.e. ro-mount/rw-mount/snapshot mount)
in the test function passed to sget(), this patch first looks up the
nilfs_sb_info struct which the given mount type matches, and then
acquires the super block instance holding the nilfs_sb_info.

This will change the way to obtain nilfs object in nilfs_get_sb()
function.
Previously, a preliminary sget() call was performed, and the nilfs
object was acquired from a super block instance found by the sget()
call.
This patch, instead, instroduces a new dedicated function
find_or_create_nilfs(); as the name implies, the function finds an
existent nilfs object from a global list or creates a new one if no
object is found on the device.

Move BKL into ->put_super from the only caller. A couple of

s_fs_info + stuff in there) to not get any locking: coda, cramfs, efs,
hugetlbfs, omfs, qnx4, shmem, all others got the full treatment. Most
of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually.
Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.

We just did a full fs writeout using sync_filesystem before, and if
that's not enough for the filesystem it can perform it's own writeout
in ->put_super, which many filesystems already do.
Move a call to foofs_write_super into every foofs_put_super for now to
guarantee identical behaviour until it's cleaned up by the individual
filesystem maintainers.
Exceptions:
- affs already has identical copy & pasted code at the beginning of
affs_put_super so no need to do it twice.
- xfs does the right thing without it and I have changes pending for
the xfs tree touching this are so I don't really need conflicts

This helps userland programs like the rmcp command to distinguish

Previously -EPERM was returned, and not discriminable from real

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.

Hi,
I introduced "is_partially_uptodate" aops for NILFS2.
A page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate, some buffers
can be uptodate on pagesize != blocksize environment.
This aops checks that all buffers which correspond to a part of a file
that we want to read are uptodate. If so, we do not have to issue actual
read IO to HDD even if a page is not uptodate because the portion we
want to read are uptodate.
"block_is_partially_uptodate" function is already used by ext2/3/4.
With the following patch random read/write mixed workloads or random read after
random write workloads can be optimized and we can get performance improvement.
I did a performance test using the sysbench.

Previously, the bmap codes of nilfs used three types of function
tables. The abuse of indirect function calls decreased source
readability and suffered many indirect jumps which would confuse
branch prediction of processors.
This eliminates one type of the function tables,
nilfs_bmap_ptr_operations, which was used to dispatch low level
pointer operations of the nilfs bmap.
This adds a new integer variable "b_ptr_type" to nilfs_bmap struct,
and uses the value to select the pointer operations.

With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The

Although some ioctls of nilfs2 exchange data in the form of indirectly
referenced array, some of them lack size check on the array elements.
This inserts the missing checks and rejects requests if data of ioctl
does not have a valid format.
We usually don't have to check size of structures that we associated

This would fix the following failure during GC:
nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints: cannot delete block
NILFS: GC failed during preparation: cannot delete checkpoints: err=-2
The problem was caused by a break in state consistency between page
cache and btree; the above block was removed from the btree but the
page buffering the block was remaining in the page cache in dirty
state.
This resolves the inconsistency by ensuring to clear dirty state of
the page buffering the deleted block.

This fixes the following circular locking dependency problem:
=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.30-rc3 #5
-------------------------------------------------------
segctord/3895 is trying to acquire lock:
(&nilfs->ns_writer_mutex){+.+...}, at: [<d0d02172>]
nilfs_mdt_get_block+0x89/0x20f [nilfs2]
but task is already holding lock:
(&bmap->b_sem){++++..}, at: [<d0d02d99>]
nilfs_bmap_propagate+0x14/0x2e [nilfs2]
which lock already depends on the new lock.
The bugfix is done by replacing call sites of nilfs_get_writer() which
are never called from read-only context with direct dereferencing of
pointer to a writable FS-instance.

Some function calls in nilfs_prepare_segment_for_recovery() may fail
because they can create blocks on meta data files without configuring
a writable FS-instance. Concretely, nilfs_mdt_create_block() routine
of meta data files will fail in that case.
This fixes the problem by temporarily attaching a writable FS-instace
during the function is called.

On-disk counters ndirtysegs and ncleansegs of sufile, can go wrong
after roll-forward recovery because
nilfs_prepare_segment_for_recovery() function marks segments dirty
without adjusting value of these counters.
This fixes the problem by adding a function to sufile which does the
operation adjusting the counters, and by letting the recovery function
use it.

This will simplify sufile.c by sharing common code which repeatedly
appears in routines updating a segment usage entry; a wrapper function
nilfs_sufile_update() is introduced for the purpose, and counter
modifications are integrated to a new function
nilfs_sufile_mod_counter().
This is a preparation for the successive bugfix patch ("nilfs2: fix
possible mismatch of sufile counters on recovery").

The nilfs_sufile_set_error() function wrongly adjusts the number of
dirty segments instead of the number of clean segments. In addition,
the function calls brelse() twice for the same buffer head.
This fixes these bugs.

This fixes a bug of ("nilfs2: simplify handling of active state of
segments") patch. The patch did not take account that a base index is
increased in nilfs_sufile_get_suinfo() function if requested entries
go across block boundary on sufile.
Due to this bug, the active flag sometimes appears on wrong segments
and has induced malfunction of garbage collection.

A MODULE_VERSION() macro has been used in out-of-tree nilfs modules,
but it's needless and not updated in tree. So, this removes it along
with the version declaration.
