Arnd Bergmann fb04b91bc2 nilfs2: use time64_t internally
The superblock and segment timestamps are used only internally in nilfs2
and can be read out using sysfs.

Since we are using the old 'get_seconds()' interface and store the data
as timestamps, the behavior differs slightly between 64-bit and 32-bit
kernels, the latter will show incorrect timestamps after 2038 in sysfs,
and presumably fail completely in 2106 as comparisons go wrong.

This changes nilfs2 to use time64_t with ktime_get_real_seconds() to
handle timestamps, making the behavior consistent and correct on both
32-bit and 64-bit machines.

The on-disk format already uses 64-bit timestamps, so nothing changes
there.

Kees Cook 7554e9c4cf fs/nilfs2: convert timers to use timer_setup()
In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer
to all timer callbacks, switch to using the new timer_setup() and
from_timer() to pass the timer pointer explicitly.  This requires adding
a pointer to hold the timer's target task, as the lifetime of sc_task
doesn't appear to match the timer's task.

Ryusuke Konishi e63e88bc53 nilfs2: move ioctl interface and disk layout to uapi separately
The header file "include/linux/nilfs2_fs.h" is composed of parts for
ioctl and disk format, and both are intended to be shared with user
space programs.

This moves them to the uapi directory "include/uapi/linux" splitting the
file to "nilfs2_api.h" and "nilfs2_ondisk.h".  The following minor
changes are accompanied by this migration:

 - nilfs_direct_node struct in nilfs2/direct.h is converged to
   nilfs2_ondisk.h because it's an on-disk structure.
 - inline functions nilfs_rec_len_from_disk() and
   nilfs_rec_len_to_disk() are moved to nilfs2/dir.c.

Hitoshi Mitake 5849770383 nilfs2: add a tracepoint for tracking stage transition of segment construction
This patch adds a tracepoint for tracking stage transition of block
collection in segment construction.  With the tracepoint, we can analysis
the behavior of segment construction in depth.  It would be useful for
bottleneck detection and debugging, etc.

The tracepoint is created with the standard trace API of linux (like ext3,
ext4, f2fs and btrfs).  So we can analysis with existing tools easily.  Of
course, more detailed analysis will be possible if we can create nilfs
specific analysis tools.

Below is an example of event dump with Brendan Gregg's perf-tools
(https://github.com/brendangregg/perf-tools).  Time consumption between
each stage can be obtained.

$ sudo bin/tpoint nilfs2:nilfs2_collection_stage_transition

stage can produce trace event in a correct manner.

Ryusuke Konishi 7ef3ff2fea nilfs2: fix deadlock of segment constructor over I_SYNC flag
Nilfs2 eventually hangs in a stress test with fsstress program.  This
issue was caused by the following deadlock over I_SYNC flag between
nilfs_segctor_thread() and writeback_sb_inodes():

  nilfs_segctor_thread()
    nilfs_segctor_thread_construct()
      nilfs_segctor_unlock()
        nilfs_dispose_list()
          iput()
            iput_final()
              evict()
                inode_wait_for_writeback()  * wait for I_SYNC flag

  writeback_sb_inodes()
     * set I_SYNC flag on inode->i_state
    __writeback_single_inode()
      do_writepages()
        nilfs_writepages()
          nilfs_construct_dsync_segment()
            nilfs_segctor_sync()
               * wait for completion of segment constructor
    inode_sync_complete()
       * clear I_SYNC flag after __writeback_single_inode() completed

writeback_sb_inodes() calls do_writepages() for dirty inodes after
setting I_SYNC flag on inode->i_state.  do_writepages() in turn calls
nilfs_writepages(), which can run segment constructor and wait for its
completion.  On the other hand, segment constructor calls iput(), which
can call evict() and wait for the I_SYNC flag on
inode_wait_for_writeback().

Since segment constructor doesn't know when I_SYNC will be set, it
cannot know whether iput() will block or not unless inode->i_nlink has a
non-zero count.  We can prevent evict() from being called in iput() by
implementing sop->drop_inode(), but it's not preferable to leave inodes
with i_nlink == 0 for long periods because it even defers file
truncation and inode deallocation.  So, this instead resolves the
deadlock by calling iput() asynchronously with a workqueue for inodes
with i_nlink == 0.

Ryusuke Konishi 1cb2d38cb3 nilfs2: get rid of private page allocator
Previously, nilfs was cloning pages for mmapped region to freeze their
data and ensure consistency of checksum during writeback cycles.  A
private page allocator was used for this page cloning.  But, we no
longer need to do that since clear_page_dirty_for_io function sets up
pte so that vm_ops->page_mkwrite function is called right before the
mmapped pages are modified and nilfs_page_mkwrite function can safely
wait for the pages to be written back to disk.

So, this stops making a copy of mmapped pages during writeback, and
eliminates the private page allocation and deallocation functions from
nilfs.

Ryusuke Konishi e3154e9748 nilfs2: get rid of nilfs_sb_info structure
This directly uses sb->s_fs_info to keep a nilfs filesystem object and
fully removes the intermediate nilfs_sb_info structure.  With this
change, the hierarchy of on-memory structures of nilfs will be
simplified as follows:

Before:
  super_block
       -> nilfs_sb_info
             -> the_nilfs
                   -> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system)
                               +-> nilfs_root (snapshot A)
                               +-> nilfs_root (snapshot B)
                               :
             -> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure)
After:
  super_block
       -> the_nilfs
             -> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system)
                         +-> nilfs_root (snapshot A)
                         +-> nilfs_root (snapshot B)
                         :
             -> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure)

The reason why we didn't design so from the beginning is because the
initial shape also differed from the above.  The early hierachy was
composed of "per-mount-point" super_block -> nilfs_sb_info pairs and a
shared nilfs object.  On the kernel 2.6.37, it was changed to the
current shape in order to unify super block instances into one per
device, and this cleanup became applicable as the result.

Ryusuke Konishi 6c43f41000 nilfs2: keep zero value in i_cno except for gc-inodes
On-memory inode structures of nilfs have a member "i_cno" which stores
a checkpoint number related to the inode.  For gc-inodes, this field
indicates version of data each gc-inode caches for GC.  Log writer
temporarily uses "i_cno" to transfer the latest checkpoint number.

This stops the latter use and lets only gc-inodes use it.

The purpose of this patch is to allow the successive change use
"i_cno" for inode lookup.

This separates wait function for submitted logs from the write
function nilfs_segctor_write().  A new list of segment buffers
"sc_write_logs" is added to hold logs under writing, and double
buffering is partially applied to hide io latency.

At this point, the double buffering is disabled for blocksize <
pagesize because page dirty flag is turned off during write and dirty
buffers are not properly collected for pages crossing over segments.

To receive full benefit of the double buffering, further refinement is
needed to move the io wait outside the lock section of log writer.

where nilfs_clean_segments() holds:

                             --> page fault -> mm->mmap_sem

And, page fault path may hold:

  page fault -> mm->mmap_sem
         --> nilfs_page_mkwrite() -> nilfs->ns_segctor_sem

Even though nilfs_clean_segments() does not perform write access on
given user pages, it may cause deadlock because nilfs->ns_segctor_sem
is shared per device and mm->mmap_sem can be shared with other tasks.

To avoid this problem, this patch moves all calls of copy_from_user()
outside the nilfs->ns_segctor_sem lock in the ioctl.

Ryusuke Konishi e339ad31f5 nilfs2: introduce secondary super block
The former versions didn't have extra super blocks.  This improves the
weak point by introducing another super block at unused region in tail of
the partition.

This doesn't break disk format compatibility; older versions just ingore
the secondary super block, and new versions just recover it if it doesn't
exist.  The partition created by an old mkfs may not have unused region,
but in that case, the secondary super block will not be added.

This doesn't make more redundant copies of the super block; it is a future
work.

Ryusuke Konishi cece552074 nilfs2: simplify handling of active state of segments
will reduce some lines of segment constructor.  Previously, the state was
complexly controlled through a list of segments in order to keep
consistency in meta data of usage state of segments.  Instead, this
presents ``calculated'' active flags to userland cleaner program and stop
maintaining its real flag on disk.

Only by this fake flag, the cleaner cannot exactly know if each segment is
reclaimable or not.  However, the recent extension of nilfs_sustat ioctl
struct (nilfs2-extend-nilfs_sustat-ioctl-struct.patch) can prevent the
cleaner from reclaiming in-use segment wrongly.

So, now I can apply this for simplification.

Ryusuke Konishi c96fa464a5 nilfs2: mark minor flag for checkpoint created by internal operation
Nilfs creates checkpoints even for garbage collection or metadata updates
such as checkpoint mode change.  So, user often sees checkpoints created
only by such internal operations.

This is inconvenient in some situations.  For example, application that
monitors checkpoints and changes them to snapshots, will fall into an
infinite loop because it cannot distinguish internally created
checkpoints.

This patch solves this sort of problem by adding a flag to checkpoint for
identification.

Ryusuke Konishi 458c5b0822 nilfs2: clean up sketch file
The sketch file is a file to mark checkpoints with user data.  It was
experimentally introduced in the original implementation, and now
obsolete.  The file was handled differently with regular files; the file
size got truncated when a checkpoint was created.

This stops the special treatment and will treat it as a regular file.
Most users are not affected because mkfs.nilfs2 no longer makes this file.

Ryusuke Konishi f30bf3e40f nilfs2: fix missed-sync issue for do_sync_mapping_range()
Chris Mason pointed out that there is a missed sync issue in
nilfs_writepages():

where WB_SYNC_NONE in do_sync_mapping_range() was replaced with
WB_SYNC_ALL by Nick's patch (commit:
ee53a891f4).

This fixes the problem by letting nilfs_writepages() write out the log of
file data within the range if sync_mode is WB_SYNC_ALL.

This involves removal of nilfs_file_aio_write() which was previously
needed to ensure O_SYNC sync writes.

Ryusuke Konishi 9ff05123e3 nilfs2: segment constructor
This adds the segment constructor (also called log writer).

The segment constructor collects dirty buffers for every dirty inode,
makes summaries of the buffers, assigns disk block addresses to the
buffers, and then submits BIOs for the buffers.
