Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

With current desing erase_free_sem is locked every time the flash
block is being erased. For NOR flashes - ~1 second is needed to erase
single flash block. In the worst case scenario erase_free_sem may be
locked for a couple of seconds when the number of blocks is being
erased (e.g. after large file was removed). When erase_free_sem is
locked all read/write operations for given JFFS2 partition are locked
too - in effect from time to time access to the JFFS2 partition is
locked for a number of seconds. This fix makes critical section in
flash erasing procedure shorter - now erase_free_sem is locked around
erase_completion_lock spinlock only.

When we cannot mark nodes as obsolete, such as on NAND flash, we end up
having to delete inodes with !nlink in jffs2_build_remove_unlinked_inode().
However, jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem() runs later than this, and will
attach an xref to the dead inode. Then later when the last nodes of that
dead inode are erased we hit a BUG() in jffs2_del_ino_cache()
because we're not supposed to get there with an xattr still attached to
the inode which is being killed.
The simple fix is to refrain from attaching xattrs to inodes with zero
nlink, in jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem(). It's it's OK to trust nlink
here because the file system isn't actually mounted yet, so there's no
chance that a zero-nlink file could actually be alive still because
it's open.

I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by
SLAB.
I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.
I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free. That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.
Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code
in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree).
There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.
This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

We attempted to insert new nodes into the tree by just using
rb_replace_node to let them replace an earlier node which they
completely overlapped. However, that could place the new node into the
wrong place in the tree, since its start could be node only before the
start of the victim, but before the node _before_ the victim in the tree
(if that previous node actually ends _after_ the new node, thus isn't
entirely overlapped and wasn't itself chosen to be the victim).

The original code would remember, during the first pass over the tree,
a suitable place to start the insertion from when we eventually come
to add a new node.
The optimisation was broken, and we sometimes ended up inserting a new
node in the wrong place because we started the insertion from the wrong
point.
Just ditch the optimisation and start the insertion from the root of the
tree, for now. I'll try it again when I'm feeling cleverer.

We originally used to read every node and allocate a jffs2_tmp_dnode_info
structure for each, before processing them in (reverse) version order
and discarding the ones which are obsoleted by later nodes.
With huge logfiles, this behaviour caused memory problems. For example, a
file involved in OLPC trac #1292 has 1822391 nodes, and would cause the XO
machine to run out of memory during the first stage of read_inode().
Instead of just inserting nodes into a tree in version order as we find
them, we now put them into a tree in order of their offset within the
file, which allows us to immediately discard nodes which are completely
obsoleted.
We don't use a full tree with 'fragments' pointing to the real data
structure, as we do in the normal fragtree. We sort only on the start
address, and add an 'overlapped' flag to the tmp_dnode_info to indicate
that the node in question is (partially) overlapped by another.
When the scan is complete, we start at the end of the file, adding each
node to a real fragtree as before. Where the node is non-overlapped, we
just add it (it doesn't matter that it's not the latest version; there is
no overlap). When the node at the end of the tree _is_ overlapped, we sort
it and all its overlapping nodes into version order and then add them to
the fragtree in that order.
This 'early discard' reduces the peak allocation of tmp_dnode_info
structures from 1.8M to a mere 62872 (3.5%) in the degenerate case
referenced above.
This version of the patch also correctly rememembers the highest node
version# seen for an inode when it's scanned.

In read inode we have an optimization which prevents one
min. I/O unit (e.g. NAND page) to be read more then once.
Namely, at the beginning we do not know which node type we read,
so we read so we assume we read the directory entry, because it
has the smallest node header. When we read it, we read up to the
next min. I/O unit, just because if later we'll need to read more,
we already have this data.
If it turns out to be that the node is not directory entry, and
we need more data, and we did not read it because it sits in the
next min. I/O unit, we read the whole next (or several next)
min. I/O unit(s). And if it happens to be that we read a data node,
and we've read part of its data, we calculate partial CRC.
So if later we need to check data CRC, we'll only read the rest
of the data from further min. I/O units and continue CRC checking.
This code was a bit messy and buggy. The bug was that it assumed
relatively large min. I/O unit, so that the largest node header
could overlap only one min. I/O unit boundary.
This parch clean-ups the code a bit and fixes this bug.
The patch was not tested on flash with small min. I/O unit, like
NOR-ECC, nut it was tested on NAND with 512 bytes NAND page, so
it at least does not break NAND. It was also tested with mtdram
so it should not break NOR.

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

OneNAND. Now JFFS2 does not care how are the free bytes situated.
This may change position of the clean marker on some flashes,
but this is not a problem. JFFS2 will just re-erase the empty
eraseblocks and write the new (correct) clean marker.

As was discussed between Ricard Wanderlöf, David Woodhouse, Artem
Bityutskiy and me, the current API for reading/writing OOB is confusing.
The thing that introduces confusion is the need to specify ops.len
together with ops.ooblen for reads/writes that concern only OOB not data
area. So, ops.len is overloaded: when ops.datbuf != NULL it serves to
specify the length of the data read, and when ops.datbuf == NULL, it
serves to specify the full OOB read length.
The patch inlined below is the slightly updated version of the previous
patch serving the same purpose, but with the new Artem's comments taken
into account.

In a nutshell, all filesystems should set .aio_read/.aio_write methods and use
do_sync_read/ do_sync_write() as their .read/.write methods. This allows us
to cleanup all variants of generic_file_* routines.
Final available interfaces:
generic_file_aio_read() - read handler
generic_file_aio_write() - write handler
generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - no lock write handler
__generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - internal worker routine

This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of
sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does
require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits
the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.

Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.
This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.
The patch also makes the following changes:
(*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
very little.
(*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
(*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
dentries being left unculled.
However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
with child trees.
[*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
(*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

Hopefully the last iteration on this!
The handling of out of band data on NAND was accompanied by tons of fruitless
discussions and halfarsed patches to make it work for a particular
problem. Sufficiently annoyed by I all those "I know it better" mails and the
resonable amount of discarded "it solves my problem" patches, I finally decided
to go for the big rework. After removing the _ecc variants of mtd read/write
functions the solution to satisfy the various requirements was to refactor the
read/write _oob functions in mtd.
The major change is that read/write_oob now takes a pointer to an operation
descriptor structure "struct mtd_oob_ops".instead of having a function with at
least seven arguments.
read/write_oob which should probably renamed to a more descriptive name, can do
the following tasks:
- read/write out of band data
- read/write data content and out of band data
- read/write raw data content and out of band data (ecc disabled)
struct mtd_oob_ops has a mode field, which determines the oob handling mode.
Aside of the MTD_OOB_RAW mode, which is intended to be especially for
diagnostic purposes and some internal functions e.g. bad block table creation,
the other two modes are for mtd clients:
MTD_OOB_PLACE puts/gets the given oob data exactly to/from the place which is
described by the ooboffs and ooblen fields of the mtd_oob_ops strcuture. It's
up to the caller to make sure that the byte positions are not used by the ECC
placement algorithms.
MTD_OOB_AUTO puts/gets the given oob data automaticaly to/from the places in
the out of band area which are described by the oobfree tuples in the ecclayout
data structre which is associated to the devicee.
The decision whether data plus oob or oob only handling is done depends on the
setting of the datbuf member of the data structure. When datbuf == NULL then
the internal read/write_oob functions are selected, otherwise the read/write
data routines are invoked.
Tested on a few platforms with all variants. Please be aware of possible
regressions for your particular device / application scenario
Disclaimer: Any whining will be ignored from those who just contributed "hot
air blurb" and never sat down to tackle the underlying problem of the mess in
the NAND driver grown over time and the big chunk of work to fix up the
existing users. The problem was not the holiness of the existing MTD
interfaces. The problems was the lack of time to go for the big overhaul. It's
easy to add more mess to the existing one, but it takes alot of effort to go
for a real solution.
Improvements and bugfixes are welcome!

We can't use jffs2_scan_dirty_space() because it doesn't do any locking; it's
only for use at scan time -- hence the 'scan' in the name.
Also, don't allocate refs while we have c->erase_completion_lock held.

We don't allocate this locally any more -- it's given to us and owner by
our caller. Also improve the debug messages a little.
