MAINTAINERS, nilfs2: change project home URLs

2018-01-13T18:42:48+00:00

The domain of NILFS project home was changed to "nilfs.sourceforge.io" to enable https access (the previous domain "nilfs.sourceforge.net" is redirected to the new one). Modify URLs of the project home to reflect this change and to replace their protocol from http to https.

nilfs2: move ioctl interface and disk layout to uapi separately

2016-08-02T23:35:21+00:00

The header file "include/linux/nilfs2_fs.h" is composed of parts for ioctl and disk format, and both are intended to be shared with user space programs. This moves them to the uapi directory "include/uapi/linux" splitting the file to "nilfs2_api.h" and "nilfs2_ondisk.h". The following minor changes are accompanied by this migration: - nilfs_direct_node struct in nilfs2/direct.h is converged to nilfs2_ondisk.h because it's an on-disk structure. - inline functions nilfs_rec_len_from_disk() and nilfs_rec_len_to_disk() are moved to nilfs2/dir.c.

nilfs2: clarify permission to replicate the design

2016-05-24T00:04:14+00:00

To respond to a certain developer's request, this explicitly state that developers can reimplement the nilfs2 design for other operating systems to share data stored in that format.

nilfs2: implementation of NILFS_IOCTL_SET_SUINFO ioctl

2014-04-03T23:21:25+00:00

With this ioctl the segment usage entries in the SUFILE can be updated from userspace. This is useful, because it allows the userspace GC to modify and update segment usage entries for specific segments, which enables it to avoid unnecessary write operations. If a segment needs to be cleaned, but there is no or very little reclaimable space in it, the cleaning operation basically degrades to a useless moving operation. In the end the only thing that changes is the location of the data and a timestamp in the segment usage information. With this ioctl the GC can skip the cleaning and update the segment usage entries directly instead. This is basically a shortcut to cleaning the segment. It is still necessary to read the segment summary information, but the writing of the live blocks can be skipped if it's not worth it.

nilfs2: remove resize from unsupported features list

2011-07-13T07:08:59+00:00

Resize feature was supported by the commit 4e33f9eab07e but it was not reflected to the list of unsupported features in nilfs2.txt file. This updates the list to fix discrepancy. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

nilfs2: add nodiscard mount option

2010-07-23T01:02:12+00:00

Nilfs has "discard" mount option which issues discard/TRIM commands to underlying block device, but it lacks a complementary option and has no way to disable the feature through remount. This adds "nodiscard" option to resolve this imbalance. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi

nilfs2: add barrier mount option

2010-07-23T01:02:12+00:00

Nilfs enables write barriers by default and has "nobarrier" mount option to disable this feature. But it lacks the complementary option and has no way to re-enable the feature on remount. This adds "barrier" option to resolve this imbalance. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
