* UBIFS: improve garbage collectionAdrian Hunter2008-09-301-10/+72
| | | | | | | | | Make garbage collection try to keep data nodes from the same inode together and in ascending order. This improves performance when reading those nodes especially when bulk-read is used. Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com>
* UBIFS: remove unneeded unlikely()Hirofumi Nakagawa2008-09-301-4/+4
| | | | | | | | IS_ERR() macro already has unlikely(), so do not use constructions like 'if (unlikely(IS_ERR())'. Signed-off-by: Hirofumi Nakagawa <hnakagawa@miraclelinux.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
* UBIFS: TNC / GC race fixesAdrian Hunter2008-09-171-3/+11
| | | | | | | | | - update GC sequence number if any nodes may have been moved even if GC did not finish the LEB - don't ignore error return when reading Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
* UBIFS: allow for racing between GC and TNCAdrian Hunter2008-08-251-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | The TNC mutex is unlocked prematurely when reading leaf nodes with non-hashed keys. This is unsafe because the node may be moved by garbage collection and the eraseblock unmapped, although that has never actually happened during stress testing. This patch fixes the flaw by detecting the race and retrying with the TNC mutex locked. Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com>
* UBIFS: add new flash file systemArtem Bityutskiy2008-07-151-0/+773
