003ff182fd nilfs2: allow future expansion of metadata read out via get info ioctl
Nilfs has some ioctl commands to read out metadata from meta data
files:

 - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO for checkpoint file,
 - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUINFO for segment usage file, and
 - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_VINFO for Disk Address Transalation (DAT) file,
   respectively.

Every routine on these metadata files is implemented so that it allows
future expansion of on-disk format.  But, the above ioctl commands do
not support expansion even though nilfs_argv structure can handle
arbitrary size for data exchanged via ioctl.

This allows future expansion of the following structures which give
basic format of the "get information" ioctls:

 - struct nilfs_cpinfo
 - struct nilfs_suinfo
 - struct nilfs_vinfo

So, this introduces forward compatility of such ioctl commands.

In this patch, a sanity check in nilfs_ioctl_get_info() function is
changed to accept larger data structure [1], and metadata read
routines are rewritten so that they become compatible for larger
structures; the routines will just ignore the remaining fields which
the current version of nilfs doesn't know.

[1] The ioctl function already has another upper limit (PAGE_SIZE
    against a structure, which appears in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy
    function), and this will not cause security problem.

dda54f4b87 nilfs2: add sufile function that can modify multiple segment usages
This is a preparation for the later cleanup patch ("nilfs2: remove
list of freeing segments").

This adds nilfs_sufile_updatev() to sufile, which can modify multiple
segment usages at a time.

c85399c2da nilfs2: fix possible mismatch of sufile counters on recovery
On-disk counters ndirtysegs and ncleansegs of sufile, can go wrong
after roll-forward recovery because
nilfs_prepare_segment_for_recovery() function marks segments dirty
without adjusting value of these counters.

This fixes the problem by adding a function to sufile which does the
operation adjusting the counters, and by letting the recovery function
use it.

a703018f7b nilfs2: segment usage file cleanups
This will simplify sufile.c by sharing common code which repeatedly
appears in routines updating a segment usage entry; a wrapper function
nilfs_sufile_update() is introduced for the purpose, and counter
modifications are integrated to a new function
nilfs_sufile_mod_counter().

This is a preparation for the successive bugfix patch ("nilfs2: fix
possible mismatch of sufile counters on recovery").

88072faf9a nilfs2: fix wrong accounting and duplicate brelse in nilfs_sufile_set_error
The nilfs_sufile_set_error() function wrongly adjusts the number of
dirty segments instead of the number of clean segments.  In addition,
the function calls brelse() twice for the same buffer head.

This fixes these bugs.

3efb55b496 nilfs2: simplify handling of active state of segments fix
This fixes a bug of ("nilfs2: simplify handling of active state of
segments") patch.  The patch did not take account that a base index is
increased in nilfs_sufile_get_suinfo() function if requested entries
go across block boundary on sufile.

Due to this bug, the active flag sometimes appears on wrong segments
and has induced malfunction of garbage collection.

cece552074 nilfs2: simplify handling of active state of segments
will reduce some lines of segment constructor.  Previously, the state was
complexly controlled through a list of segments in order to keep
consistency in meta data of usage state of segments.  Instead, this
presents ``calculated'' active flags to userland cleaner program and stop
maintaining its real flag on disk.

Only by this fake flag, the cleaner cannot exactly know if each segment is
reclaimable or not.  However, the recent extension of nilfs_sustat ioctl
struct (nilfs2-extend-nilfs_sustat-ioctl-struct.patch) can prevent the
cleaner from reclaiming in-use segment wrongly.

So, now I can apply this for simplification.

1f5abe7e7d nilfs2: replace BUG_ON and BUG calls triggerable from ioctl
Pekka Enberg advised me:
> It would be nice if BUG(), BUG_ON(), and panic() calls would be
> converted to proper error handling using WARN_ON() calls. The BUG()
> call in nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints(), for example, looks to be
> triggerable from user-space via the ioctl() system call.

This will follow the comment and keep them to a minimum.

2c2e52fc4f nilfs2: extend nilfs_sustat ioctl struct
This adds a new argument to the nilfs_sustat structure.

The extended field allows to delete volatile active state of segments,
which was needed to protect freshly-created segments from garbage
collection but has confused code dealing with segments.  This
extension alleviates the mess and gives room for further
simplifications.

The volatile active flag is not persistent, so it's eliminable on this
occasion without affecting compatibility other than the ioctl change.
