2009-11-20nilfs2: add cache framework for persistent object allocatorRyusuke Konishi
This adds setup and cleanup routines of the persistent object allocator cache. According to ftrace analyses, accessing buffers of the DAT file suffers indispensable overhead many times. To mitigate the overhead, This introduce cache framework for the persistent object allocator (palloc) which the DAT file and ifile are using. struct nilfs_palloc_cache represents the cache object per metadata file using palloc. The cache is initialized through nilfs_palloc_setup_cache() and destroyed by nilfs_palloc_destroy_cache(); callers of the former function will be added to individual allocators of DAT and ifile on successive patches. nilfs_palloc_destroy_cache() will be called from nilfs_mdt_destroy() if the cache is attached to a metadata file. A companion function nilfs_palloc_clear_cache() is provided to allow releasing buffer head references independently with the cleanup task. This adjunctive function will be used before invalidating pages of metadata file with the cache. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-11-20nilfs2: hide nilfs_mdt_clear calls in nilfs_mdt_destroyRyusuke Konishi
This will hide a function call of nilfs_mdt_clear() in nilfs_mdt_destroy(). This ensures nilfs_mdt_destroy() to do cleanup jobs included in nilfs_mdt_clear(). Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-11-20nilfs2: eliminate inlines to directly read/write inode of metadata filesRyusuke Konishi
Removes two inline functions: nilfs_mdt_read_inode_direct() and nilfs_mdt_write_inode_direct(). Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-11-20nilfs2: add size option of private object to metadata file allocatorRyusuke Konishi
This adds an optional "object size" argument to nilfs_mdt_new_common() function; the argument specifies the size of private object attached to a newly allocated metadata file inode. This will afford space to keep local variables for meta data files. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-09-14nilfs2: remove individual gfp constants for each metadata fileRyusuke Konishi
This gets rid of NILFS_CPFILE_GFP, NILFS_SUFILE_GFP, NILFS_DAT_GFP, and NILFS_IFILE_GFP. All of these constants refer to NILFS_MDT_GFP, and can be removed. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-04-07nilfs2: meta data fileRyusuke Konishi
This adds the meta data file, which serves common buffer functions to the DAT, sufile, cpfile, ifile, and so forth. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
