Note) Due to the change of on-disk layout, please download f2fs-tools-1.1.0.tar.gz. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a new patch set for the f2fs file system. What is F2FS? ============= NAND flash memory-based storage devices, such as SSD, eMMC, and SD cards, have been widely being used for ranging from mobile to server systems. Since they are known to have different characteristics from the conventional rotational disks, a file system, an upper layer to the storage device, should adapt to the changes from the sketch. F2FS is a new file system carefully designed for the NAND flash memory-based storage devices. We chose a log structure file system approach, but we tried to adapt it to the new form of storage. Also we remedy some known issues of the very old log structured file system, such as snowball effect of wandering tree and high cleaning overhead. Because a NAND-based storage device shows different characteristics according to its internal geometry or flash memory management scheme aka FTL, we add various parameters not only for configuring on-disk layout, but also for selecting allocation and cleaning algorithms. Patch set ========= The patch #1 adds a document to Documentation/filesystems/. The patch #2 adds a header file of on-disk layout to include/linux/. The patches #3-#15 adds f2fs source files to fs/f2fs/. The Last patch, patch #16, updates Makefile and Kconfig. mkfs.f2fs ========= The file system formatting tool, "mkfs.f2fs", is available from the following download page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/f2fs-tools/ Usage ===== If you'd like to experience f2fs, simply: # mkfs.f2fs /dev/sdb1 # mount -t f2fs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/f2fs Short log ========= Jaegeuk Kim (16): f2fs: add document f2fs: add on-disk layout f2fs: add superblock and major in-memory structure f2fs: add super block operations f2fs: add checkpoint operations f2fs: add node operations f2fs: add segment operations f2fs: add file operations f2fs: add address space operations for data f2fs: add core inode operations f2fs: add inode operations for special inodes f2fs: add core directory operations f2fs: add xattr and acl functionalities f2fs: add garbage collection functions f2fs: add recovery routines for roll-forward f2fs: update Kconfig and Makefile Documentation/filesystems/00-INDEX | 2 + Documentation/filesystems/f2fs.txt | 404 ++++++++ fs/Kconfig | 1 + fs/Makefile | 1 + fs/f2fs/Kconfig | 55 ++ fs/f2fs/Makefile | 6 + fs/f2fs/acl.c | 465 ++++++++++ fs/f2fs/acl.h | 57 ++ fs/f2fs/checkpoint.c | 795 ++++++++++++++++ fs/f2fs/data.c | 701 ++++++++++++++ fs/f2fs/dir.c | 657 +++++++++++++ fs/f2fs/f2fs.h | 982 ++++++++++++++++++++ fs/f2fs/file.c | 640 +++++++++++++ fs/f2fs/gc.c | 1139 +++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/f2fs/gc.h | 203 ++++ fs/f2fs/hash.c | 98 ++ fs/f2fs/inode.c | 262 ++++++ fs/f2fs/namei.c | 494 ++++++++++ fs/f2fs/node.c | 1782 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/f2fs/node.h | 330 +++++++ fs/f2fs/recovery.c | 375 ++++++++ fs/f2fs/segment.c | 1795 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/f2fs/segment.h | 594 ++++++++++++ fs/f2fs/super.c | 590 ++++++++++++ fs/f2fs/xattr.c | 389 ++++++++ fs/f2fs/xattr.h | 145 +++ include/linux/f2fs_fs.h | 362 ++++++++ 27 files changed, 13324 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/filesystems/f2fs.txt create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/Kconfig create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/Makefile create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/acl.c create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/acl.h create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/checkpoint.c create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/data.c create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/dir.c create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/f2fs.h create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/file.c create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/gc.c create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/gc.h create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/hash.c create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/inode.c create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/namei.c create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/node.c create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/node.h create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/recovery.c create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/segment.c create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/segment.h create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/super.c create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/xattr.c create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/xattr.h create mode 100644 include/linux/f2fs_fs.h -- 1.7.9.5 --- Jaegeuk Kim Samsung -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
