2c61cb250c [JFFS2] Introduce dbg_readinode2 log level, use it to shut read_dnode() up
We haven't seen bugs in this for a while now, since the rewrite. No need
to be _quite_ so verbose...

422b120238 [JFFS2] Fix jffs2_reserve_space() when all blocks are pending erasure.
When _all_ the blocks were on the erase_pending_list, we could't find a
block to GC from but there was no _actually_ free space, and
jffs2_reserve_space() would get a little unhappy.

Handle this case by returning -EAGAIN from jffs2_garbage_collect_pass().
There are two callers of that function -- jffs2_flush_wbuf_gc(), which
will interpret it as an error and flush the writebuffer by other means,
and jffs2_reserve_space(), which we modify to respond to -EAGAIN with an
immediate call to jffs2_erase_pending_blocks() and another run round the
loop.

85a62db624 [JFFS2] Add paranoia debugging for superblock counts
The problem fixed in commit 014b164e13
(space leak with in-band cleanmarkers) would have been caught a lot
quicker if our paranoid debugging mode had included adding up the size
counts from all the eraseblocks and comparing the totals with the counts
in the superblock. Add that.

Make jffs2_mark_erased_block() file the newly-erased block on the
free_list before calling the debug function, to make it happy.

014b164e13 [JFFS2] Fix free space leak with in-band cleanmarkers
We were accounting for the cleanmarker by calling jffs2_link_node_ref()
(without locking!), which adjusted both superblock and per-eraseblock
accounting, subtracting the size of the cleanmarker from {jeb,c}->free_size
and adding it to {jeb,c}->used_size.

But only _then_ were we adding the size of the newly-erased block back
to the superblock counts, and we were adding each of jeb->{free,used}_size
to the corresponding superblock counts. Thus, the size of the cleanmarker
was effectively subtracted from the superblock's free_size _twice_.

Fix this, by always adding a full eraseblock size to c->free_size when
we've erased a block. And call jffs2_link_node_ref() under the proper
lock, while we're at it.

Thanks to Alexander Yurchenko and/or Damir Shayhutdinov for (almost)
pinpointing the problem.

abe2f41430 JFFS2 Fix of panics caused by wrong condition for hole frag creation in write_begin
This fixes a regression introduced in commit
205c109a7a when switching to
write_begin/write_end operations in JFFS2.

The page offset is miscalculated, leading to corruption of the fragment
lists and subsequently to memory corruption and panics.

[ Side note: the bug is a fairly direct result of the naming.  Nick was
  likely misled by the use of "offs", since we tend to use the notion of
  "offset" not as an absolute position, but as an offset _within_ a page
  or allocation.

  Alternatively, a "pgoff_t" is a page index, but not a byte offset -
  our VM naming can be a bit confusing.

  So in this case, a VM person would likely have called this a "pos",
  not an "offs", or perhaps talked about byte offsets rather than page
  offsets (since it's counted in bytes, not pages).    - Linus ]

5451f79f5f iget: stop JFFS2 from using iget() and read_inode()
Stop the JFFS2 filesystem from using iget() and read_inode().  Replace
jffs2_read_inode() with jffs2_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
jffs2_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
instead of an inode in the event of an error.

jffs2_do_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.

15953580e7 [JFFS2] Improve getdents vs. f_pos handling on NOR flash.
Commit a491486a20 started obliterating
dirents directly on the medium, when jffs2_can_mark_obsolete(). Removing
them immediately from the f->dents list, however, screws up handling of
f_pos within a directory -- because the offset is equivalent to the
number of entries through the list we are, and the existence of
deletion dirents served to provide 'placeholders' for unlinked
entries. Now, 'rm -r' doesn't even manage to unlink everything in the
directory.

Revert to keeping 'deletion' dirents in the list, at least in memory
even though we no longer write anything to the medium.

cfc8dc6f6f [JFFS2] Tidy up fix for ACL/permissions problem.
[In commit 9ed437c50d we fixed a problem 
with standard permissions on newly-created inodes, when POSIX ACLs are 
enabled. This cleans it up...]

The attached patch separate jffs2_init_acl() into two parts.

The one is jffs2_init_acl_pre() called from jffs2_new_inode().
It compute ACL oriented inode->i_mode bits, and allocate in-memory ACL
objects associated with the new inode just before when inode meta
infomation is written to the medium.

The other is jffs2_init_acl_post() called from jffs2_symlink(),
jffs2_mkdir(), jffs2_mknod() and jffs2_do_create().
It actually writes in-memory ACL objects into the medium next to
the success of writing meta-information.

In the current implementation, we have to write a same inode meta
infomation twice when inode->i_mode is updated by the default ACL.
However, we can avoid the behavior by putting an updated i_mode
before it is written at first, as jffs2_init_acl_pre() doing.

fc0e01974c [JFFS2] fix write deadlock regression
I've bisected the deadlock when many small appends are done on jffs2 down to
this commit:

commit 6fe6900e1e
Author: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>
Date:   Sun May 6 14:49:04 2007 -0700

    mm: make read_cache_page synchronous

    Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
    us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.

    I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
    possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
    ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
    block2mtd.  All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
    with a !uptodate page.

It introduced a wait to read_cache_page, as well as a
read_cache_page_async function equivalent to the old read_cache_page
without any callers.

Switching jffs2_gc_fetch_page to read_cache_page_async for the old
behavior makes the deadlocks go away, but maybe reintroduces the
use-before-uptodate problem? I don't understand the mm/fs interaction
well enough to say.

[It's fine. dwmw2.]
