logfs: remove from tree

2016-12-15T04:48:11Z

Logfs was introduced to the kernel in 2009, and hasn't seen any non drive-by changes since 2012, while having lots of unsolved issues including the complete lack of error handling, with more and more issues popping up without any fixes. The logfs.org domain has been bouncing from a mail, and the maintainer on the non-logfs.org domain hasn't repsonded to past queries either. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros

2016-04-04T17:41:08Z

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ; - >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

logfs: constify logfs_block_ops structures

2016-01-09T07:55:45Z

The logfs_block_ops structures are never modified, so declare them as const. Done with the help of Coccinelle. Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Al Viro

mm, fs: introduce mapping_gfp_constraint()

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

There are many places which use mapping_gfp_mask to restrict a more generic gfp mask which would be used for allocations which are not directly related to the page cache but they are performed in the same context. Let's introduce a helper function which makes the restriction explicit and easier to track. This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

logfs: check for the return value after calling find_or_create_page()

2014-01-24T00:36:54Z

In get_mapping_page(), after calling find_or_create_page(), the return value should be checked. This patch has been provided: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg66948.html but not been applied now.

mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept length

2013-05-22T03:17:23Z

Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just up to the certain point. Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the page). This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances for it. We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation. Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

logfs: destroy the reserved inodes while unmounting

2012-04-02T03:50:33Z

We were assuming that the evict_inode() would never be called on reserved inodes. However, (after the commit 8e22c1a4e logfs: get rid of magical inodes) while unmounting the file system, in put_super, we call iput() on all of the reserved inodes. The following simple test used to cause a kernel panic on LogFS: 1. Mount a LogFS file system on /mnt 2. Create a file $ touch /mnt/a 3. Try to unmount the FS $ umount /mnt The simple fix would be to drop the assumption and properly destroy the reserved inodes. Signed-off-by: Prasad Joshi

logfs: update page reference count for pined pages

2012-01-28T05:53:10Z

LogFS sets PG_private flag to indicate a pined page. We assumed that marking a page as private is enough to ensure its existence. But instead it is necessary to hold a reference count to the page. The change resolves the following BUG BUG: Bad page state in process flush-253:16 pfn:6a6d0 page flags: 0x100000000000808(uptodate|private) Suggested-and-Acked-by: Joern Engel Signed-off-by: Prasad Joshi
