      nilfs2: allow future expansion of metadata read out via get info ioctl · 003ff182
      Ryusuke Konishi 提交于
      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.

      nilfs2: add sufile function that can modify multiple segment usages · dda54f4b
      Ryusuke Konishi 提交于
      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.
