2009-09-10UBIFS: do not print scary error messages needlesslyArtem Bityutskiy
At the moment UBIFS print large and scary error messages and flash dumps in case of nearly any corruption, even if it is a recoverable corruption. For example, if the master node is corrupted, ubifs_scan() prints error dumps, then UBIFS recovers just fine and goes on. This patch makes UBIFS print scary error messages only in real cases, which are not recoverable. It adds 'quiet' argument to the 'ubifs_scan()' function, so the caller may ask 'ubi_scan()' not to print error messages if the caller is able to do recovery.

2009-03-20UBIFS: fully sort GCed nodesArtem Bityutskiy
The 'joinup()' function cannot deal with situations when nodes go in reverse order - it just leaves them in this order. This patch implement full nodes sorting using n*log(n) algorithm. It sorts data nodes for bulk-read, and direntry nodes for readdir(). Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2009-01-29UBIFS: remount ro fixesAdrian Hunter
- preserve the idx_gc list - it will be needed in the same state, should UBIFS be remounted rw again - prevent remounting ro if we have switched to read only mode (due to a fatal error) Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

2009-01-26UBIFS: fix LEB list freeingArtem Bityutskiy
When freeing the c->idx_lebs list, we have to release the LEBs as well, because we might be called from mount to read-only mode code. Otherwise the LEBs stay taken forever, which may cause problems when we re-mount back ro RW mode. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

Just add more commentaries. Also some commentary fixes for lprops flags. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

2008-09-30UBIFS: improve garbage collectionAdrian Hunter
Make garbage collection try to keep data nodes from the same inode together and in ascending order. This improves performance when reading those nodes especially when bulk-read is used. Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com>
2008-09-30UBIFS: remove unneeded unlikely()Hirofumi Nakagawa
IS_ERR() macro already has unlikely(), so do not use constructions like 'if (unlikely(IS_ERR())'. Signed-off-by: Hirofumi Nakagawa <hnakagawa@miraclelinux.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2008-09-17UBIFS: TNC / GC race fixesAdrian Hunter
- update GC sequence number if any nodes may have been moved even if GC did not finish the LEB - don't ignore error return when reading Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2008-08-25UBIFS: allow for racing between GC and TNCAdrian Hunter
The TNC mutex is unlocked prematurely when reading leaf nodes with non-hashed keys. This is unsafe because the node may be moved by garbage collection and the eraseblock unmapped, although that has never actually happened during stress testing. This patch fixes the flaw by detecting the race and retrying with the TNC mutex locked. Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com>
