Merge tag 'zonefs-5.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dlemoal/zonefs

2020-02-09T23:51:46+00:00

Pull new zonefs file system from Damien Le Moal: "Zonefs is a very simple file system exposing each zone of a zoned block device as a file. Unlike a regular file system with native zoned block device support (e.g. f2fs or the on-going btrfs effort), zonefs does not hide the sequential write constraint of zoned block devices to the user. As a result, zonefs is not a POSIX compliant file system. Its goal is to simplify the implementation of zoned block devices support in applications by replacing raw block device file accesses with a richer file based API, avoiding relying on direct block device file ioctls which may be more obscure to developers. One example of this approach is the implementation of LSM (log-structured merge) tree structures (such as used in RocksDB and LevelDB) on zoned block devices by allowing SSTables to be stored in a zone file similarly to a regular file system rather than as a range of sectors of a zoned device. The introduction of the higher level construct "one file is one zone" can help reducing the amount of changes needed in the application while at the same time allowing the use of zoned block devices with various programming languages other than C. Zonefs IO management implementation uses the new iomap generic code. Zonefs has been successfully tested using a functional test suite (available with zonefs userland format tool on github) and a prototype implementation of LevelDB on top of zonefs" * tag 'zonefs-5.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dlemoal/zonefs: zonefs: Add documentation fs: New zonefs file system

Merge branch 'merge.nfs-fs_parse.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2020-02-08T21:26:41+00:00

Pull vfs file system parameter updates from Al Viro: "Saner fs_parser.c guts and data structures. The system-wide registry of syntax types (string/enum/int32/oct32/.../etc.) is gone and so is the horror switch() in fs_parse() that would have to grow another case every time something got added to that system-wide registry. New syntax types can be added by filesystems easily now, and their namespace is that of functions - not of system-wide enum members. IOW, they can be shared or kept private and if some turn out to be widely useful, we can make them common library helpers, etc., without having to do anything whatsoever to fs_parse() itself. And we already get that kind of requests - the thing that finally pushed me into doing that was "oh, and let's add one for timeouts - things like 15s or 2h". If some filesystem really wants that, let them do it. Without somebody having to play gatekeeper for the variants blessed by direct support in fs_parse(), TYVM. Quite a bit of boilerplate is gone. And IMO the data structures make a lot more sense now. -200LoC, while we are at it" * 'merge.nfs-fs_parse.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (25 commits) tmpfs: switch to use of invalfc() cgroup1: switch to use of errorfc() et.al. procfs: switch to use of invalfc() hugetlbfs: switch to use of invalfc() cramfs: switch to use of errofc() et.al. gfs2: switch to use of errorfc() et.al. fuse: switch to use errorfc() et.al. ceph: use errorfc() and friends instead of spelling the prefix out prefix-handling analogues of errorf() and friends turn fs_param_is_... into functions fs_parse: handle optional arguments sanely fs_parse: fold fs_parameter_desc/fs_parameter_spec fs_parser: remove fs_parameter_description name field add prefix to fs_context->log ceph_parse_param(), ceph_parse_mon_ips(): switch to passing fc_log new primitive: __fs_parse() switch rbd and libceph to p_log-based primitives struct p_log, variants of warnf() et.al. taking that one instead teach logfc() to handle prefices, give it saner calling conventions get rid of cg_invalf() ...

get rid of fs_value_is_filename_empty

2020-02-07T19:48:30+00:00

Its behaviour is identical to that of fs_value_is_filename. It makes no sense, anyway - LOOKUP_EMPTY affects nothing whatsoever once the pathname has been imported from userland. And both fs_value_is_filename and fs_value_is_filename_empty carry an already imported pathname. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim: "In this series, we've implemented transparent compression experimentally. It supports LZO and LZ4, but will add more later as we investigate in the field more. At this point, the feature doesn't expose compressed space to user directly in order to guarantee potential data updates later to the space. Instead, the main goal is to reduce data writes to flash disk as much as possible, resulting in extending disk life time as well as relaxing IO congestion. Alternatively, we're also considering to add ioctl() to reclaim compressed space and show it to user after putting the immutable bit. Enhancements: - add compression support - avoid unnecessary locks in quota ops - harden power-cut scenario for zoned block devices - use private bio_set to avoid IO congestion - replace GC mutex with rwsem to serialize callers Bug fixes: - fix dentry consistency and memory corruption in rename()'s error case - fix wrong swap extent reports - fix casefolding bugs - change lock coverage to avoid deadlock - avoid GFP_KERNEL under f2fs_lock_op And, we've cleaned up sysfs entries to prepare no debugfs" * tag 'f2fs-for-5.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs: (31 commits) f2fs: fix race conditions in ->d_compare() and ->d_hash() f2fs: fix dcache lookup of !casefolded directories f2fs: Add f2fs stats to sysfs f2fs: delete duplicate information on sysfs nodes f2fs: change to use rwsem for gc_mutex f2fs: update f2fs document regarding to fsync_mode f2fs: add a way to turn off ipu bio cache f2fs: code cleanup for f2fs_statfs_project() f2fs: fix miscounted block limit in f2fs_statfs_project() f2fs: show the CP_PAUSE reason in checkpoint traces f2fs: fix deadlock allocating bio_post_read_ctx from mempool f2fs: remove unneeded check for error allocating bio_post_read_ctx f2fs: convert inline_dir early before starting rename f2fs: fix memleak of kobject f2fs: fix to add swap extent correctly f2fs: run fsck when getting bad inode during GC f2fs: support data compression f2fs: free sysfs kobject f2fs: declare nested quota_sem and remove unnecessary sems f2fs: don't put new_page twice in f2fs_rename ...
