* f2fs: cleanup the f2fs_bio_alloc routineJaegeuk Kim2012-12-111-15/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do cleanup more for better code readability. - Change the parameter set of f2fs_bio_alloc() This function should allocate a bio only since it is not something like f2fs_bio_init(). Instead, the caller should initialize the allocated bio. - Introduce SECTOR_FROM_BLOCK This macro translates a block address to its sector address.

* f2fs: rewrite f2fs_bio_alloc to make it simplerNamjae Jeon2012-12-111-17/+7
| | | | | | | | | | Since, GFP_NOFS(__GFP_WAIT) is used for allocation requests of bio in f2fs. So, there is no chance of returning NULL from the BIO allocation. Making the bio allocation routine for f2fs simpler. Signed-off-by: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Amit Sahrawat <a.sahrawat@samsung.com>
* f2fs: remove unneeded initializationNamjae Jeon2012-12-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | No need to initialize "struct f2fs_gc_kthread *gc_th = NULL", as gc_th = NULL, will be taken care by the return values of kmalloc(). And fix codes in other places. Signed-off-by: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Amit Sahrawat <a.sahrawat@samsung.com>
* f2fs: adjust kernel coding styleJaegeuk Kim2012-12-111-13/+13
| | | | | | | As pointed out by Randy Dunlap, this patch removes all usage of "/**" for comment blocks. Instead, just use "/*". Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>
* f2fs: fix endian conversion bugs reported by sparseJaegeuk Kim2012-12-111-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch should resolve the bugs reported by the sparse tool. Initial reports were written by "kbuild test robot" managed by fengguang.wu. In my local machines, I've tested also by running: > make C=2 CF="-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__" Accordingly, I've found lots of warnings and bugs related to the endian conversion. And I've fixed all at this moment. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>
* f2fs: add segment operationsJaegeuk Kim2012-12-111-0/+1798
This adds specific functions not only to manage dirty/free segments, SIT pages, a cache for SIT entries, and summary entries, but also to allocate free blocks and write three types of pages: data, node, and meta. - F2FS maintains three types of bitmaps in memory, which indicate free, prefree, and dirty segments respectively. - The key information of an SIT entry consists of a segment number, the number of valid blocks in the segment, a bitmap to identify there-in valid or invalid blocks. - An SIT page is composed of a certain range of SIT entries, which is maintained by the address space of meta_inode. - To cache SIT entries, a simple array is used. The index for the array is the segment number. - A summary entry for data contains the parent node information. A summary entry for node contains its node offset from the inode. - F2FS manages information about six active logs and those summary entries in memory. Whenever one of them is changed, its summary entries are flushed to its SIT page maintained by the address space of meta_inode. - This patch adds a default block allocation function which supports heap-based allocation policy. - This patch adds core functions to write data, node, and meta pages. Since LFS basically produces a series of sequential writes, F2FS merges sequential bios with a single one as much as possible to reduce the IO scheduling overhead.
