From 2cc88f3a5f16ae9a3c8f54de1b2fd4a397b36075 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Rohner Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 14:50:28 -0700 Subject: nilfs2: implementation of NILFS_IOCTL_SET_SUINFO ioctl 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.
