The procedure for garbage collection * is different depending on whether a LEB as an index LEB (contains index * nodes) or not. For non-index LEBs, garbage collection finds a LEB which * contains a lot of dirty space (obsolete nodes), and copies the non-obsolete * nodes to the journal, at which point the garbage-collected LEB is free to be * reused. For index LEBs, garbage collection marks the non-obsolete index nodes * dirty in the TNC, and after the next commit, the garbage-collected LEB is * to be reused. Garbage collection will cause the number of dirty index nodes * to grow, however sufficient space is reserved for the index to ensure the * commit will never run out of space. * * Notes about dead watermark. At current UBIFS implementation we assume that * LEBs which have less than @c->dead_wm bytes of free + dirty space are full * and not worth garbage-collecting. The dead watermark is one min. I/O unit * size, or min. UBIFS node size, depending on what is greater. Indeed, UBIFS * Garbage Collector has to synchronize the GC head's write buffer before * returning, so this is about wasting one min. I/O unit. However, UBIFS GC can * actually reclaim even very small pieces of dirty space by garbage collecting * enough dirty LEBs, but we do not bother doing this at this implementation. * * Notes about dark watermark. The results of GC work depends on how big are * the UBIFS nodes GC deals with. Large nodes make GC waste more space. Indeed, * if GC move data from LEB A to LEB B and nodes in LEB A are large, GC would * have to waste large pieces of free space at the end of LEB B, because nodes * from LEB A would not fit. And the worst situation is when all nodes are of * maximum size. So dark watermark is the amount of free + dirty space in LEB * which are guaranteed to be reclaimable. If LEB has less space, the GC might * be unable to reclaim it. So, LEBs with free + dirty greater than dark * watermark are "good" LEBs from GC's point of view. The other LEBs are not so * good, and GC takes extra care when moving them. */ #include <linux/slab.h> #include <linux/pagemap.h> #include <linux/list_sort.h> #include "ubifs.h" /* * GC may need to move more than one LEB to make progress.
