Super blocks of nilfs are periodically overwritten in order to record
the recent log position. This shortens recovery time after unclean
unmount, but the current implementation performs the update even for a
few blocks of change. If the filesystem gets small changes slowly and
continually, super blocks may be updated excessively.
This moderates the issue by skipping update of log cursor if it does
not cross a segment boundary.

Although nilfs redundantly uses two super blocks and each may point to
different position on log, the current version of nilfs does not try
fallback to the spare super block when it doesn't find any valid log
at the position that the primary super block points to.
This has been a cause of mount failures due to write order reversals
on barrier less block devices.
This inserts fallback code in error path of nilfs_search_super_root
routine to resolve the mount failure problem.

This will sync super blocks in turns instead of syncing duplicate
super blocks at the time. This will help searching valid super root
when super block is written into disk before log is written, which is
happen when barrier-less block devices are unmounted uncleanly. In
the situation, old super block likely points to valid log.
This patch introduces ns_sbwcount member to the nilfs object and adds
nilfs_sb_will_flip() function; ns_sbwcount counts how many times super
blocks write back to the disk. And, nilfs_sb_will_flip() decides
whether flipping required or not based on the count of ns_sbwcount to
sync super blocks asymmetrically.
The following functions are also changed:
- nilfs_prepare_super(): flips super blocks according to the
argument. The argument is calculated by nilfs_sb_will_flip()
function.
- nilfs_cleanup_super(): sets "clean" flag to both super blocks if
they point to the same checkpoint.

Snapshots and regular ro/rw mounts are essentially-different within
the meaning whether the checkpoint is static or not and is marked with
a snapshot flag or not.
The current implemenation, however, allows to remount a snapshot to a
regular rw-mount if the checkpoint number equals the latest one.
This transition is actually impossible since changing a checkpoint to
a snapshot makes another checkpoint, thus the condition is never
satisfied.
This fixes the weird state of affairs, and specifically separates

Nilfs maintains two super blocks, and selects the new one on mount
time if they both have valid checksums and their timestamps differ.
However, this has potential for mis-selection since the system clock
may be rewinded and the resolution of the timestamps is not high.
Usually this doesn't become an issue because both super blocks are
updated at the same time when the file system is unmounted. Even if
the file system wasn't unmounted cleanly, the roll-forward recovery
will find the proper log which stores the latest super root. Thus,
the issue can appear only if update of one super block fails and the
clock happens to be rewinded.
This fixes the issue by using checkpoint numbers instead of timestamps
to pick the super block storing the location of the latest log.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

nilfs_error() calls nilfs_detach_segment_constructor() if

This separates wait function for submitted logs from the write

"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 <

The oops was caused by a bug of error path in
nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() function, which was inlined in
nilfs_ioctl_clean_segments().
nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks checks duplication of blocks which will be
moved in garbage collection. But, the check should have be done

buffers storing the target blocks.
To fix the kernel oops, this moves forward the duplication check

This will fix file system corruption which infrequently happens after
mount. The problem was reported from users with the title "[NILFS
users] Fail to mount NILFS." (Message-ID:
<200908211918.34720.yuri@itinteg.net>), and so forth. I've also
experienced the corruption multiple times on kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31.
The problem turned out to be caused due to discordance between
mapping->nrpages of a btree node cache and the actual number of pages
hung on the cache; if the mapping->nrpages becomes zero even as it has
pages, truncate_inode_pages() returns without doing anything. Usually
this is harmless except it may cause page leak, but garbage collection
fairly infrequently sees a stale page remained in the btree node cache
of DAT (i.e. disk address translation file of nilfs), and induces the
corruption.
I identified a missing initialization in btree node caches was the
root cause. This corrects the bug.
I've tested this for kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31.
