24 * This file implements garbage collection. The procedure for garbage collection
25 * is different depending on whether a LEB as an index LEB (contains index
26 * nodes) or not. For non-index LEBs, garbage collection finds a LEB which
27 * contains a lot of dirty space (obsolete nodes), and copies the non-obsolete
28 * nodes to the journal, at which point the garbage-collected LEB is free to be
29 * reused. For index LEBs, garbage collection marks the non-obsolete index nodes
30 * dirty in the TNC, and after the next commit, the garbage-collected LEB is
31 * to be reused. Garbage collection will cause the number of dirty index nodes
32 * to grow, however sufficient space is reserved for the index to ensure the
33 * commit will never run out of space.
36 #include <linux/pagemap.h>
40 * GC tries to optimize the way it fit nodes to available space, and it sorts
41 * nodes a little. The below constants are watermarks which define "large",
42 * "medium", and "small" nodes.
44 #define MEDIUM_NODE_WM (UBIFS_BLOCK_SIZE / 4)
45 #define SMALL_NODE_WM UBIFS_MAX_DENT_NODE_SZ
48 * GC may need to move more than one LEB to make progress. The below constants
49 * define "soft" and "hard" limits on the number of LEBs the garbage collector
52 #define SOFT_LEBS_LIMIT 4
53 #define HARD_LEBS_LIMIT 32

446 * @c: UBIFS file-system description object
447 * @anyway: do GC even if there are free LEBs
449 * This function does out-of-place garbage collection. The return codes are:
450 * o positive LEB number if the LEB has been freed and may be used;
451 * o %-EAGAIN if the caller has to run commit;
452 * o %-ENOSPC if GC failed to make any progress;
453 * o other negative error codes in case of other errors.
455 * Garbage collector writes data to the journal when GC'ing data LEBs, and just
456 * marking indexing nodes dirty when GC'ing indexing LEBs. Thus, at some point
457 * commit may be required. But commit cannot be run from inside GC, because the
458 * caller might be holding the commit lock, so %-EAGAIN is returned instead;
459 * And this error code means that the caller has to run commit, and re-run GC
460 * if there is still no free space.
462 * There are many reasons why this function may return %-EAGAIN:
463 * o the log is full and there is no space to write an LEB reference for
465 * o the journal is too large and exceeds size limitations;
466 * o GC moved indexing LEBs, but they can be used only after the commit;
467 * o the shrinker fails to find clean znodes to free and requests the commit;
470 * Note, if the file-system is close to be full, this function may return
471 * %-EAGAIN infinitely, so the caller has to limit amount of re-invocations of
472 * the function. E.g., this happens if the limits on the journal size are too
473 * tough and GC writes too much to the journal before an LEB is freed. This
474 * might also mean that the journal is too large, and the TNC becomes to big,
475 * so that the shrinker is constantly called, finds not clean znodes to free,
476 * and requests commit. Well, this may also happen if the journal is all right,
477 * but another kernel process consumes too much memory. Anyway, infinite
478 * %-EAGAIN may happen, but in some extreme/misconfiguration cases.
