+Reiser4 filesystem
+==================
+Reiser4 is a file system based on dancing tree algorithms, and is
+described at http://www.namesys.com
+

+
+Compile options
+===============
+Enable reiser4 debug mode
+       This checks everything imaginable while reiser4
+       runs
+
+Mount options
+=============
+tmgr.atom_max_size=N
+       Atoms containing more than N blocks will be forced to commit.
+       N is decimal.
+       Default is nr_free_pagecache_pages() / 2 at mount time.
+
+tmgr.atom_max_age=N
+       Atoms older than N seconds will be forced to commit. N is decimal.
+       Default is 600.
+
+tmgr.atom_max_flushers=N
+       Limit of concurrent flushers for one atom. 0 means no limit.
+       Default is 0.
+
+tree.cbk_cache.nr_slots=N
+       Number of slots in the cbk cache.
+
+flush.relocate_threshold=N
+       If flush finds more than N adjacent dirty leaf-level blocks it
+       will force them to be relocated.
+       Default is 64.
+
+flush.relocate_distance=N
+       If flush finds can find a block allocation closer than at most
+       N from the preceder it will relocate to that position.
+       Default is 64.
+
+flush.scan_maxnodes=N
+       The maximum number of nodes to scan left on a level during
+       flush.
+       Default is 10000.
+
+optimal_io_size=N
+       Preferred IO size. This value is used to set st_blksize of
+       struct stat.
+       Default is 65536.
+
+bsdgroups
+       Turn on BSD-style gid assignment.
+
+32bittimes
+       By default file in reiser4 have 64 bit timestamps. Files
+       created when filesystem is mounted with 32bittimes mount
+       option will get 32 bit timestamps.
+
+mtflush
+       Turn off concurrent flushing.
+
+nopseudo
+       Disable pseudo files support. See
+       http://namesys.com/v4/pseudo.html for more about pseudo files.
+
+dont_load_bitmap
+       Don't load all bitmap blocks at mount time, it is useful for
+       machines with tiny RAM and large disks.

+/* THE REISER4 DISK SPACE RESERVATION SCHEME. */
+
+/* We need to be able to reserve enough disk space to ensure that an atomic
+   operation will have enough disk space to flush (see flush.c and
+   http://namesys.com/v4/v4.html) and commit it once it is started.
+
+   In our design a call for reserving disk space may fail but not an actual
+   block allocation.
+
+   All free blocks, already allocated blocks, and all kinds of reserved blocks
+   are counted in different per-fs block counters.
+
+   A reiser4 super block's set of block counters currently is:
+
+   free -- free blocks,
+   used -- already allocated blocks,
+
+   grabbed -- initially reserved for performing an fs operation, those blocks
+          are taken from free blocks, then grabbed disk space leaks from grabbed
+          blocks counter to other counters like "fake allocated", "flush
+          reserved", "used", the rest of not used grabbed space is returned to
+          free space at the end of fs operation;
+
+   fake allocated -- counts all nodes without real disk block numbers assigned,
+                     we have separate accounting for formatted and unformatted
+                     nodes (for easier debugging);
+
+   flush reserved -- disk space needed for flushing and committing an atom.
+                     Each dirty already allocated block could be written as a
+                     part of atom's overwrite set or as a part of atom's
+                     relocate set.  In both case one additional block is needed,
+                     it is used as a wandered block if we do overwrite or as a
+                    new location for a relocated block.
+
+   In addition, blocks in some states are counted on per-thread and per-atom
+   basis.  A reiser4 context has a counter of blocks grabbed by this transaction
+   and the sb's grabbed blocks counter is a sum of grabbed blocks counter values
+   of each reiser4 context.  Each reiser4 atom has a counter of "flush reserved"
+   blocks, which are reserved for flush processing and atom commit. */
+
+/* AN EXAMPLE: suppose we insert new item to the reiser4 tree.  We estimate
+   number of blocks to grab for most expensive case of balancing when the leaf
+   node we insert new item to gets split and new leaf node is allocated.
+
+   So, we need to grab blocks for
+
+   1) one block for possible dirtying the node we insert an item to. That block
+      would be used for node relocation at flush time or for allocating of a
+      wandered one, it depends what will be a result (what set, relocate or
+      overwrite the node gets assigned to) of the node processing by the flush
+      algorithm.
+
+   2) one block for either allocating a new node, or dirtying of right or left
+      clean neighbor, only one case may happen.
+
+   VS-FIXME-HANS: why can only one case happen? I would expect to see dirtying of left neighbor, right neighbor, current
+   node, and creation of new node.  have I forgotten something?  email me.
+
+   These grabbed blocks are counted in both reiser4 context "grabbed blocks"
+   counter and in the fs-wide one (both ctx->grabbed_blocks and
+   sbinfo->blocks_grabbed get incremented by 2), sb's free blocks counter is
+   decremented by 2.
+
+   Suppose both two blocks were spent for dirtying of an already allocated clean
+   node (one block went from "grabbed" to "flush reserved") and for new block
+   allocating (one block went from "grabbed" to "fake allocated formatted").
+
+   Inserting of a child pointer to the parent node caused parent node to be
+   split, the balancing code takes care about this grabbing necessary space
+   immediately by calling reiser4_grab with BA_RESERVED flag set which means
+   "can use the 5% reserved disk space".
+
+   At this moment insertion completes and grabbed blocks (if they were not used)
+   should be returned to the free space counter.
+
+   However the atom life-cycle is not completed.  The atom had one "flush
+   reserved" block added by our insertion and the new fake allocated node is
+   counted as a "fake allocated formatted" one.  The atom has to be fully
+   processed by flush before commit.  Suppose that the flush moved the first,
+   already allocated node to the atom's overwrite list, the new fake allocated
+   node, obviously, went into the atom relocate set.  The reiser4 flush
+   allocates the new node using one unit from "fake allocated formatted"
+   counter, the log writer uses one from "flush reserved" for wandered block
+   allocation.
+
+   And, it is not the end.  When the wandered block is deallocated after the
+   atom gets fully played (see wander.c for term description), the disk space
+   occupied for it is returned to free blocks. */
+
+/* BLOCK NUMBERS */
+
+/* Any reiser4 node has a block number assigned to it.  We use these numbers for
+   indexing in hash tables, so if a block has not yet been assigned a location
+   on disk we need to give it a temporary fake block number.
+
+   Current implementation of reiser4 uses 64-bit integers for block numbers. We
+   use highest bit in 64-bit block number to distinguish fake and real block
+   numbers. So, only 63 bits may be used to addressing of real device
+   blocks. That "fake" block numbers space is divided into subspaces of fake
+   block numbers for data blocks and for shadow (working) bitmap blocks.
+
+   Fake block numbers for data blocks are generated by a cyclic counter, which
+   gets incremented after each real block allocation. We assume that it is
+   impossible to overload this counter during one transaction life. */

+/* Functions to "carry" tree modification(s) upward. */
+/* Tree is modified one level at a time. As we modify a level we accumulate a
+   set of changes that need to be propagated to the next level.  We manage
+   node locking such that any searches that collide with carrying are
+   restarted, from the root if necessary.
+
+   Insertion of a new item may result in items being moved among nodes and
+   this requires the delimiting key to be updated at the least common parent
+   of the nodes modified to preserve search tree invariants. Also, insertion
+   may require allocation of a new node. A pointer to the new node has to be
+   inserted into some node on the parent level, etc.
+
+   Tree carrying is meant to be analogous to arithmetic carrying.
+
+   A carry operation is always associated with some node (&carry_node).
+
+   Carry process starts with some initial set of operations to be performed
+   and an initial set of already locked nodes.  Operations are performed one
+   by one. Performing each single operation has following possible effects:
+
+    - content of carry node associated with operation is modified
+    - new carry nodes are locked and involved into carry process on this level
+    - new carry operations are posted to the next level
+
+   After all carry operations on this level are done, process is repeated for
+   the accumulated sequence on carry operations for the next level. This
+   starts by trying to lock (in left to right order) all carry nodes
+   associated with carry operations on the parent level. After this, we decide
+   whether more nodes are required on the left of already locked set. If so,
+   all locks taken on the parent level are released, new carry nodes are
+   added, and locking process repeats.
+
+   It may happen that balancing process fails owing to unrecoverable error on
+   some of upper levels of a tree (possible causes are io error, failure to
+   allocate new node, etc.). In this case we should unmount the filesystem,
+   rebooting if it is the root, and possibly advise the use of fsck.
+
+   USAGE:
+
+    int some_tree_operation( znode *node, ... )
+    {
+       // Allocate on a stack pool of carry objects: operations and nodes.
+       // Most carry processes will only take objects from here, without
+       // dynamic allocation.
+
+I feel uneasy about this pool.  It adds to code complexity, I understand why it exists, but.... -Hans
+
+       carry_pool  pool;
+       carry_level lowest_level;
+       carry_op   *op;
+
+       init_carry_pool( &pool );
+       init_carry_level( &lowest_level, &pool );
+
+       // operation may be one of:
+       //   COP_INSERT    --- insert new item into node
+       //   COP_CUT       --- remove part of or whole node
+       //   COP_PASTE     --- increase size of item
+       //   COP_DELETE    --- delete pointer from parent node
+       //   COP_UPDATE    --- update delimiting key in least
+       //                     common ancestor of two
+
+       op = reiser4_post_carry( &lowest_level, operation, node, 0 );
+       if( IS_ERR( op ) || ( op == NULL ) ) {
+           handle error
+       } else {
+           // fill in remaining fields in @op, according to carry.h:carry_op
+           result = carry( &lowest_level, NULL );
+       }
+       done_carry_pool( &pool );
+    }
+
+   When you are implementing node plugin method that participates in carry
+   (shifting, insertion, deletion, etc.), do the following:
+
+   int foo_node_method( znode *node, ..., carry_level *todo )
+   {
+       carry_op   *op;
+
+       ....
+
+       // note, that last argument to reiser4_post_carry() is non-null
+       // here, because @op is to be applied to the parent of @node, rather
+       // than to the @node itself as in the previous case.
+
+       op = node_post_carry( todo, operation, node, 1 );
+       // fill in remaining fields in @op, according to carry.h:carry_op
+
+       ....
+
+   }
+
+   BATCHING:
+
+   One of the main advantages of level-by-level balancing implemented here is
+   ability to batch updates on a parent level and to peform them more
+   efficiently as a result.
+
+   Description To Be Done (TBD).
+
+   DIFFICULTIES AND SUBTLE POINTS:
+
+   1. complex plumbing is required, because:
+
+       a. effective allocation through pools is needed
+
+       b. target of operation is not exactly known when operation is
+       posted. This is worked around through bitfields in &carry_node and
+       logic in lock_carry_node()
+
+       c. of interaction with locking code: node should be added into sibling
+       list when pointer to it is inserted into its parent, which is some time
+       after node was created. Between these moments, node is somewhat in
+       suspended state and is only registered in the carry lists
+
+    2. whole balancing logic is implemented here, in particular, insertion
+    logic is coded in make_space().
+
+    3. special cases like insertion (reiser4_add_tree_root()) or deletion
+    (reiser4_kill_tree_root()) of tree root and morphing of paste into insert
+    (insert_paste()) have to be handled.
+
+    4. there is non-trivial interdependency between allocation of new nodes
+    and almost everything else. This is mainly due to the (1.c) above. I shall
+    write about this later.

+/* fatal_carry_error() - all-catching error handling function
+
+   It is possible that carry faces unrecoverable error, like unability to
+   insert pointer at the internal level. Our simple solution is just panic in
+   this situation. More sophisticated things like attempt to remount
+   file-system as read-only can be implemented without much difficlties.
+
+   It is believed, that:
+
+   1. in stead of panicking, all current transactions can be aborted rolling
+   system back to the consistent state.
+
+Umm, if you simply panic without doing anything more at all, then all current
+transactions are aborted and the system is rolled back to a consistent state,
+by virtue of the design of the transactional mechanism. Well, wait, let's be
+precise.  If an internal node is corrupted on disk due to hardware failure,
+then there may be no consistent state that can be rolled back to, so instead
+we should say that it will rollback the transactions, which barring other
+factors means rolling back to a consistent state.
+
+# Nikita: there is a subtle difference between panic and aborting
+# transactions: machine doesn't reboot. Processes aren't killed. Processes
+# don't using reiser4 (not that we care about such processes), or using other
+# reiser4 mounts (about them we do care) will simply continue to run. With
+# some luck, even application using aborted file system can survive: it will
+# get some error, like EBADF, from each file descriptor on failed file system,
+# but applications that do care about tolerance will cope with this (squid
+# will).
+
+It would be a nice feature though to support rollback without rebooting
+followed by remount, but this can wait for later versions.
+
+   2. once isolated transactions will be implemented it will be possible to
+   roll back offending transaction.
+
+2. is additional code complexity of inconsistent value (it implies that a broken tree should be kept in operation), so we must think about
+it more before deciding if it should be done.  -Hans

+   performed is known in advance. When shifting items between nodes
+   (split, merge), delimiting key should be changed in the least common
+   parent of the nodes involved that is not known in advance.
+
+   For the operations of the first type we store in &carry_op pointer to
+   the &carry_node at the parent level. For the operation of the second

+/* insert_paste_common() - common part of insert and paste operations
+
+   This function performs common part of COP_INSERT and COP_PASTE.
+
+   There are two ways in which insertion/paste can be requested:
+
+    . by directly supplying reiser4_item_data. In this case, op ->
+    u.insert.type is set to COPT_ITEM_DATA.
+
+    . by supplying child pointer to which is to inserted into parent. In this
+    case op -> u.insert.type == COPT_CHILD.
+
+    . by supplying key of new item/unit. This is currently only used during
+    extent insertion
+
+   This is required, because when new node is allocated we don't know at what
+   position pointer to it is to be stored in the parent. Actually, we don't
+   even know what its parent will be, because parent can be re-balanced
+   concurrently and new node re-parented, and because parent can be full and
+   pointer to the new node will go into some other node.
+
+   insert_paste_common() resolves pointer to child node into position in the
+   parent by calling find_new_child_coord(), that fills
+   reiser4_item_data. After this, insertion/paste proceeds uniformly.
+
+   Another complication is with finding free space during pasting. It may
+   happen that while shifting items to the neighbors and newly allocated
+   nodes, insertion coord can no longer be in the item we wanted to paste
+   into. At this point, paste becomes (morphs) into insert. Moreover free
+   space analysis has to be repeated, because amount of space required for
+   insertion is different from that of paste (item header overhead, etc).
+
+   This function "unifies" different insertion modes (by resolving child
+   pointer or key into insertion coord), and then calls make_space() to free
+   enough space in the node by shifting data to the left and right and by
+   allocating new nodes if necessary. Carry operation knows amount of space
+   required for its completion. After enough free space is obtained, caller of
+   this function (carry_{insert,paste,etc.}) performs actual insertion/paste
+   by calling item plugin method.

+
+                  Basically, what happens here is the following: carry came
+                  to the parent level and is about to insert internal item
+                  pointing to the child node that it just inserted in the
+                  level below. Position where internal item is to be inserted
+                  was found by find_new_child_coord() above, but node of the
+                  current carry operation (that is, parent node of child
+                  inserted on the previous level), was determined earlier in
+                  the lock_carry_level/lock_carry_node. It could so happen
+                  that other carry operations already performed on the parent
+                  level already split parent node, so that insertion point
+                  moved into another node. Handle this by creating new carry
+                  node for insertion point if necessary.

+          happen (and going to happen all the time) that in logical key
+          ordering extent has to be placed between items I1 and I2, located
+          at the leaf level, but I1 and I2 are in the same formatted leaf
+          node N1. To insert extent one has to
+
+          (1) reach node N1 and shift data between N1, its neighbors and
+          possibly newly allocated nodes until I1 and I2 fall into different
+          nodes. Since I1 and I2 are still neighboring items in logical key
+          order, they will be necessary utmost items in their respective
+          nodes.
+
+          (2) After this new extent item is inserted into node on the twig
+          level.
+
+          Fortunately this process can reuse almost all code from standard
+          insertion procedure (viz. make_space() and insert_paste_common()),
+          due to the following observation: make_space() only shifts data up
+          to and excluding or including insertion point. It never
+          "over-moves" through insertion point. Thus, one can use
+          make_space() to perform step (1). All required for this is just to
+          instruct free_space_shortage() to keep make_space() shifting data
+          until insertion point is at the node border.

+/* Scalable on-disk integers */
+
+/*
+ * Various on-disk structures contain integer-like structures. Stat-data
+ * contain [yes, "data" is plural, check the dictionary] file size, link
+ * count; extent unit contains extent width etc. To accommodate for general
+ * case enough space is reserved to keep largest possible value. 64 bits in
+ * all cases above. But in overwhelming majority of cases numbers actually
+ * stored in these fields will be comparatively small and reserving 8 bytes is
+ * a waste of precious disk bandwidth.
+ *
+ * Scalable integers are one way to solve this problem. dscale_write()
+ * function stores __u64 value in the given area consuming from 1 to 9 bytes,
+ * depending on the magnitude of the value supplied. dscale_read() reads value
+ * previously stored by dscale_write().
+ *
+ * dscale_write() produces format not completely unlike of UTF: two highest
+ * bits of the first byte are used to store "tag". One of 4 possible tag
+ * values is chosen depending on the number being encoded:
+ *
+ *           0 ... 0x3f               => 0           [table 1]
+ *        0x40 ... 0x3fff             => 1
+ *      0x4000 ... 0x3fffffff         => 2
+ *  0x40000000 ... 0xffffffffffffffff => 3
+ *
+ * (see dscale_range() function)
+ *
+ * Values in the range 0x40000000 ... 0xffffffffffffffff require 8 full bytes
+ * to be stored, so in this case there is no place in the first byte to store
+ * tag. For such values tag is stored in an extra 9th byte.
+ *
+ * As _highest_ bits are used for the test (which is natural) scaled integers
+ * are stored in BIG-ENDIAN format in contrast with the rest of reiser4 which
+ * uses LITTLE-ENDIAN.

+ * Extents on the twig level (EOTTL) handling.
+ *
+ * EOTTL poses some problems to the tree traversal, that are better explained
+ * by example.
+ *
+ * Suppose we have block B1 on the twig level with the following items:
+ *
+ * 0. internal item I0 with key (0:0:0:0) (locality, key-type, object-id,
+ * offset)
+ * 1. extent item E1 with key (1:4:100:0), having 10 blocks of 4k each
+ * 2. internal item I2 with key (10:0:0:0)
+ *
+ * We are trying to insert item with key (5:0:0:0). Lookup finds node B1, and
+ * then intra-node lookup is done. This lookup finished on the E1, because the
+ * key we are looking for is larger than the key of E1 and is smaller than key
+ * the of I2.
+ *
+ * Here search is stuck.
+ *
+ * After some thought it is clear what is wrong here: extents on the twig level
+ * break some basic property of the *search* tree (on the pretext, that they
+ * restore property of balanced tree).
+ *
+ * Said property is the following: if in the internal node of the search tree
+ * we have [ ... Key1 Pointer Key2 ... ] then, all data that are or will be
+ * keyed in the tree with the Key such that Key1 <= Key < Key2 are accessible
+ * through the Pointer.
+ *
+ * This is not true, when Pointer is Extent-Pointer, simply because extent
+ * cannot expand indefinitely to the right to include any item with
+ *
+ *   Key1 <= Key <= Key2.
+ *
+ * For example, our E1 extent is only responsible for the data with keys
+ *
+ *   (1:4:100:0) <= key <= (1:4:100:0xffffffffffffffff), and
+ *
+ * so, key range
+ *
+ *   ( (1:4:100:0xffffffffffffffff), (10:0:0:0) )
+ *
+ * is orphaned: there is no way to get there from the tree root.
+ *
+ * In other words, extent pointers are different than normal child pointers as
+ * far as search tree is concerned, and this creates such problems.
+ *
+ * Possible solution for this problem is to insert our item into node pointed
+ * to by I2. There are some problems through:
+ *
+ * (1) I2 can be in a different node.
+ * (2) E1 can be immediately followed by another extent E2.
+ *
+ * (1) is solved by calling reiser4_get_right_neighbor() and accounting
+ * for locks/coords as necessary.
+ *
+ * (2) is more complex. Solution here is to insert new empty leaf node and
+ * insert internal item between E1 and E2 pointing to said leaf node. This is
+ * further complicated by possibility that E2 is in a different node, etc.
+ *
+ * Problems:
+ *
+ * (1) if there was internal item I2 immediately on the right of an extent E1
+ * we and we decided to insert new item S1 into node N2 pointed to by I2, then
+ * key of S1 will be less than smallest key in the N2. Normally, search key
+ * checks that key we are looking for is in the range of keys covered by the
+ * node key is being looked in. To work around of this situation, while
+ * preserving useful consistency check new flag CBK_TRUST_DK was added to the
+ * cbk falgs bitmask. This flag is automatically set on entrance to the
+ * coord_by_key() and is only cleared when we are about to enter situation
+ * described above.
+ *
+ * (2) If extent E1 is immediately followed by another extent E2 and we are
+ * searching for the key that is between E1 and E2 we only have to insert new
+ * empty leaf node when coord_by_key was called for insertion, rather than just
+ * for lookup. To distinguish these cases, new flag CBK_FOR_INSERT was added to
+ * the cbk falgs bitmask. This flag is automatically set by coord_by_key calls
+ * performed by insert_by_key() and friends.
+ *
+ * (3) Insertion of new empty leaf node (possibly) requires balancing. In any
+ * case it requires modification of node content which is only possible under
+ * write lock. It may well happen that we only have read lock on the node where
+ * new internal pointer is to be inserted (common case: lookup of non-existent
+ * stat-data that fells between two extents). If only read lock is held, tree
+ * traversal is restarted with lock_level modified so that next time we hit
+ * this problem, write lock will be held. Once we have write lock, balancing
+ * will be performed.

+/* PARENT-FIRST: Some terminology: A parent-first traversal is a way of assigning a total
+   order to the nodes of the tree in which the parent is placed before its children, which
+   are ordered (recursively) in left-to-right order.  When we speak of a "parent-first preceder", it
+   describes the node that "came before in forward parent-first order".  When we speak of a
+   "parent-first follower", it describes the node that "comes next in parent-first
+   order" (alternatively the node that "came before in reverse parent-first order").
+
+   The following pseudo-code prints the nodes of a tree in forward parent-first order:
+
+   void parent_first (node)
+   {
+     print_node (node);
+     if (node->level > leaf) {
+       for (i = 0; i < num_children; i += 1) {
+         parent_first (node->child[i]);
+       }
+     }
+   }

+
+/* JUST WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO OPTIMIZE, HERE?  The idea is to optimize block allocation so
+   that a left-to-right scan of the tree's data (i.e., the leaves in left-to-right order)
+   can be accomplished with sequential reads, which results in reading nodes in their
+   parent-first order.  This is a read-optimization aspect of the flush algorithm, and
+   there is also a write-optimization aspect, which is that we wish to make large
+   sequential writes to the disk by allocating or reallocating blocks so that they can be
+   written in sequence.  Sometimes the read-optimization and write-optimization goals
+   conflict with each other, as we discuss in more detail below.
+*/
+
+/* STATE BITS: The flush code revolves around the state of the jnodes it covers.  Here are
+   the relevant jnode->state bits and their relevence to flush:
+
+     JNODE_DIRTY: If a node is dirty, it must be flushed.  But in order to be written it
+     must be allocated first.  In order to be considered allocated, the jnode must have
+     exactly one of { JNODE_OVRWR, JNODE_RELOC } set.  These two bits are exclusive, and
+     all dirtied jnodes eventually have one of these bits set during each transaction.
+
+     JNODE_CREATED: The node was freshly created in its transaction and has no previous
+     block address, so it is unconditionally assigned to be relocated, although this is
+     mainly for code-convenience.  It is not being 'relocated' from anything, but in
+     almost every regard it is treated as part of the relocate set.  The JNODE_CREATED bit
+     remains set even after JNODE_RELOC is set, so the actual relocate can be
+     distinguished from the created-and-allocated set easily: relocate-set members
+     (belonging to the preserve-set) have (JNODE_RELOC) set and created-set members which
+     have no previous location to preserve have (JNODE_RELOC | JNODE_CREATED) set.
+
+     JNODE_OVRWR: The node belongs to atom's overwrite set. The flush algorithm made the
+     decision to maintain the pre-existing location for this node and it will be written
+     to the wandered-log.
+
+     JNODE_RELOC: The flush algorithm made the decision to relocate this block (if it was
+     not created, see note above).  A block with JNODE_RELOC set is eligible for
+     early-flushing and may be submitted during flush_empty_queues.  When the JNODE_RELOC
+     bit is set on a znode, the parent node's internal item is modified and the znode is
+     rehashed.
+
+     JNODE_SQUEEZABLE: Before shifting everything left, the flush algorithm scans the node
+     and calls plugin->f.squeeze() method for its items. By this technology we update disk
+     clusters of cryptcompress objects. Also if leftmost point that was found by flush scan
+     has this flag (races with write(), rare case) the flush algorythm makes the decision
+     to pass it to squalloc() in spite of its flushprepped status for squeezing, not for
+     repeated allocation.
+
+     JNODE_FLUSH_QUEUED: This bit is set when a call to flush enters the jnode into its
+     flush queue.  This means the jnode is not on any clean or dirty list, instead it is
+     moved to one of the flush queue (see flush_queue.h) object private list. This
+     prevents multiple concurrent flushes from attempting to start flushing from the
+     same node.
+
+     (DEAD STATE BIT) JNODE_FLUSH_BUSY: This bit was set during the bottom-up
+     squeeze-and-allocate on a node while its children are actively being squeezed and
+     allocated.  This flag was created to avoid submitting a write request for a node
+     while its children are still being allocated and squeezed. Then flush queue was
+     re-implemented to allow unlimited number of nodes be queued. This flag support was
+     commented out in source code because we decided that there was no reason to submit
+     queued nodes before jnode_flush() finishes.  However, current code calls fq_write()
+     during a slum traversal and may submit "busy nodes" to disk. Probably we can
+     re-enable the JNODE_FLUSH_BUSY bit support in future.
+
+   With these state bits, we describe a test used frequently in the code below,
+   jnode_is_flushprepped() (and the spin-lock-taking jnode_check_flushprepped()).  The
+   test for "flushprepped" returns true if any of the following are true:
+
+     - The node is not dirty
+     - The node has JNODE_RELOC set
+     - The node has JNODE_OVRWR set
+
+   If either the node is not dirty or it has already been processed by flush (and assigned
+   JNODE_OVRWR or JNODE_RELOC), then it is prepped.  If jnode_is_flushprepped() returns
+   true then flush has work to do on that node.
+*/
+
+/* FLUSH_PREP_ONCE_PER_TRANSACTION: Within a single transaction a node is never
+   flushprepped twice (unless an explicit call to flush_unprep is made as described in
+   detail below).  For example a node is dirtied, allocated, and then early-flushed to
+   disk and set clean.  Before the transaction commits, the page is dirtied again and, due
+   to memory pressure, the node is flushed again.  The flush algorithm will not relocate
+   the node to a new disk location, it will simply write it to the same, previously
+   relocated position again.
+*/
+
+/* THE BOTTOM-UP VS. TOP-DOWN ISSUE: This code implements a bottom-up algorithm where we
+   start at a leaf node and allocate in parent-first order by iterating to the right.  At
+   each step of the iteration, we check for the right neighbor.  Before advancing to the
+   right neighbor, we check if the current position and the right neighbor share the same
+   parent.  If they do not share the same parent, the parent is allocated before the right
+   neighbor.
+
+   This process goes recursively up the tree and squeeze nodes level by level as long as
+   the right neighbor and the current position have different parents, then it allocates
+   the right-neighbors-with-different-parents on the way back down.  This process is
+   described in more detail in flush_squalloc_changed_ancestor and the recursive function
+   squalloc_one_changed_ancestor.  But the purpose here is not to discuss the
+   specifics of the bottom-up approach as it is to contrast the bottom-up and top-down
+   approaches.
+
+   The top-down algorithm was implemented earlier (April-May 2002).  In the top-down
+   approach, we find a starting point by scanning left along each level past dirty nodes,
+   then going up and repeating the process until the left node and the parent node are
+   clean.  We then perform a parent-first traversal from the starting point, which makes
+   allocating in parent-first order trivial.  After one subtree has been allocated in this
+   manner, we move to the right, try moving upward, then repeat the parent-first
+   traversal.
+
+   Both approaches have problems that need to be addressed.  Both are approximately the
+   same amount of code, but the bottom-up approach has advantages in the order it acquires
+   locks which, at the very least, make it the better approach.  At first glance each one
+   makes the other one look simpler, so it is important to remember a few of the problems
+   with each one.
+
+   Main problem with the top-down approach: When you encounter a clean child during the
+   parent-first traversal, what do you do?  You would like to avoid searching through a
+   large tree of nodes just to find a few dirty leaves at the bottom, and there is not an
+   obvious solution.  One of the advantages of the top-down approach is that during the
+   parent-first traversal you check every child of a parent to see if it is dirty.  In
+   this way, the top-down approach easily handles the main problem of the bottom-up
+   approach: unallocated children.
+
+   The unallocated children problem is that before writing a node to disk we must make
+   sure that all of its children are allocated.  Otherwise, the writing the node means
+   extra I/O because the node will have to be written again when the child is finally
+   allocated.
+
+   WE HAVE NOT YET ELIMINATED THE UNALLOCATED CHILDREN PROBLEM.  Except for bugs, this
+   should not cause any file system corruption, it only degrades I/O performance because a
+   node may be written when it is sure to be written at least one more time in the same
+   transaction when the remaining children are allocated.  What follows is a description
+   of how we will solve the problem.
+*/
+
+/* HANDLING UNALLOCATED CHILDREN: During flush we may allocate a parent node then,
+   proceeding in parent first order, allocate some of its left-children, then encounter a
+   clean child in the middle of the parent.  We do not allocate the clean child, but there
+   may remain unallocated (dirty) children to the right of the clean child.  If we were to
+   stop flushing at this moment and write everything to disk, the parent might still
+   contain unallocated children.
+
+   We could try to allocate all the descendents of every node that we allocate, but this
+   is not necessary.  Doing so could result in allocating the entire tree: if the root
+   node is allocated then every unallocated node would have to be allocated before
+   flushing.  Actually, we do not have to write a node just because we allocate it.  It is
+   possible to allocate but not write a node during flush, when it still has unallocated
+   children.  However, this approach is probably not optimal for the following reason.
+
+   The flush algorithm is designed to allocate nodes in parent-first order in an attempt
+   to optimize reads that occur in the same order.  Thus we are read-optimizing for a
+   left-to-right scan through all the leaves in the system, and we are hoping to
+   write-optimize at the same time because those nodes will be written together in batch.
+   What happens, however, if we assign a block number to a node in its read-optimized
+   order but then avoid writing it because it has unallocated children?  In that
+   situation, we lose out on the write-optimization aspect because a node will have to be
+   written again to the its location on the device, later, which likely means seeking back
+   to that location.
+
+   So there are tradeoffs. We can choose either:
+
+   A. Allocate all unallocated children to preserve both write-optimization and
+   read-optimization, but this is not always desirable because it may mean having to
+   allocate and flush very many nodes at once.
+
+   B. Defer writing nodes with unallocated children, keep their read-optimized locations,
+   but sacrifice write-optimization because those nodes will be written again.
+
+   C. Defer writing nodes with unallocated children, but do not keep their read-optimized
+   locations.  Instead, choose to write-optimize them later, when they are written.  To
+   facilitate this, we "undo" the read-optimized allocation that was given to the node so
+   that later it can be write-optimized, thus "unpreparing" the flush decision.  This is a
+   case where we disturb the FLUSH_PREP_ONCE_PER_TRANSACTION rule described above.  By a
+   call to flush_unprep() we will: if the node was wandered, unset the JNODE_OVRWR bit;
+   if the node was relocated, unset the JNODE_RELOC bit, non-deferred-deallocate its block
+   location, and set the JNODE_CREATED bit, effectively setting the node back to an
+   unallocated state.
+
+   We will take the following approach in v4.0: for twig nodes we will always finish
+   allocating unallocated children (A).  For nodes with (level > TWIG) we will defer
+   writing and choose write-optimization (C).
+
+   To summarize, there are several parts to a solution that avoids the problem with
+   unallocated children:
+
+   FIXME-ZAM: Still no one approach is implemented to eliminate the "UNALLOCATED CHILDREN"
+   problem because there was an experiment which was done showed that we have 1-2 nodes
+   with unallocated children for thousands of written nodes.  The experiment was simple
+   like coping / deletion of linux kernel sources.  However the problem can arise in more
+   complex tests.  I think we have jnode_io_hook to insert a check for unallocated
+   children and see what kind of problem we have.
+
+   1. When flush reaches a stopping point (e.g., a clean node), it should continue calling
+   squeeze-and-allocate on any remaining unallocated children.  FIXME: Difficulty to
+   implement: should be simple -- amounts to adding a while loop to jnode_flush, see
+   comments in that function.
+
+   2. When flush reaches flush_empty_queue(), some of the (level > TWIG) nodes may still
+   have unallocated children.  If the twig level has unallocated children it is an
+   assertion failure.  If a higher-level node has unallocated children, then it should be
+   explicitly de-allocated by a call to flush_unprep().  FIXME: Difficulty to implement:
+   should be simple.
+
+   3. (CPU-Optimization) Checking whether a node has unallocated children may consume more
+   CPU cycles than we would like, and it is possible (but medium complexity) to optimize
+   this somewhat in the case where large sub-trees are flushed.  The following observation
+   helps: if both the left- and right-neighbor of a node are processed by the flush
+   algorithm then the node itself is guaranteed to have all of its children allocated.
+   However, the cost of this check may not be so expensive after all: it is not needed for
+   leaves and flush can guarantee this property for twigs.  That leaves only (level >
+   TWIG) nodes that have to be checked, so this optimization only helps if at least three
+   (level > TWIG) nodes are flushed in one pass, and the savings will be very small unless
+   there are many more (level > TWIG) nodes.  But if there are many (level > TWIG) nodes
+   then the number of blocks being written will be very large, so the savings may be
+   insignificant.  That said, the idea is to maintain both the left and right edges of
+   nodes that are processed in flush.  When flush_empty_queue() is called, a relatively
+   simple test will tell whether the (level > TWIG) node is on the edge.  If it is on the
+   edge, the slow check is necessary, but if it is in the interior then it can be assumed
+   to have all of its children allocated.  FIXME: medium complexity to implement, but
+   simple to verify given that we must have a slow check anyway.
+
+   4. (Optional) This part is optional, not for v4.0--flush should work independently of
+   whether this option is used or not.  Called RAPID_SCAN, the idea is to amend the
+   left-scan operation to take unallocated children into account.  Normally, the left-scan
+   operation goes left as long as adjacent nodes are dirty up until some large maximum
+   value (FLUSH_SCAN_MAXNODES) at which point it stops and begins flushing.  But scan-left
+   may stop at a position where there are unallocated children to the left with the same
+   parent.  When RAPID_SCAN is enabled, the ordinary scan-left operation stops after
+   FLUSH_RELOCATE_THRESHOLD, which is much smaller than FLUSH_SCAN_MAXNODES, then procedes
+   with a rapid scan.  The rapid scan skips all the interior children of a node--if the
+   leftmost child of a twig is dirty, check its left neighbor (the rightmost child of the
+   twig to the left).  If the left neighbor of the leftmost child is also dirty, then
+   continue the scan at the left twig and repeat.  This option will cause flush to
+   allocate more twigs in a single pass, but it also has the potential to write many more
+   nodes than would otherwise be written without the RAPID_SCAN option.  RAPID_SCAN
+   was partially implemented, code removed August 12, 2002 by JMACD.
+*/
+
+/* FLUSH CALLED ON NON-LEAF LEVEL.  Most of our design considerations assume that the
+   starting point for flush is a leaf node, but actually the flush code cares very little
+   about whether or not this is true.  It is possible that all the leaf nodes are flushed
+   and dirty parent nodes still remain, in which case jnode_flush() is called on a
+   non-leaf argument.  Flush doesn't care--it treats the argument node as if it were a
+   leaf, even when it is not.  This is a simple approach, and there may be a more optimal
+   policy but until a problem with this approach is discovered, simplest is probably best.
+
+   NOTE: In this case, the ordering produced by flush is parent-first only if you ignore
+   the leaves.  This is done as a matter of simplicity and there is only one (shaky)
+   justification.  When an atom commits, it flushes all leaf level nodes first, followed
+   by twigs, and so on.  With flushing done in this order, if flush is eventually called
+   on a non-leaf node it means that (somehow) we reached a point where all leaves are
+   clean and only internal nodes need to be flushed.  If that it the case, then it means
+   there were no leaves that were the parent-first preceder/follower of the parent.  This
+   is expected to be a rare case, which is why we do nothing special about it.  However,
+   memory pressure may pass an internal node to flush when there are still dirty leaf
+   nodes that need to be flushed, which could prove our original assumptions
+   "inoperative".  If this needs to be fixed, then scan_left/right should have
+   special checks for the non-leaf levels.  For example, instead of passing from a node to
+   the left neighbor, it should pass from the node to the left neighbor's rightmost
+   descendent (if dirty).
+
+*/
+
+/* UNIMPLEMENTED AS YET: REPACKING AND RESIZING.  We walk the tree in 4MB-16MB chunks, dirtying everything and putting
+   it into a transaction.  We tell the allocator to allocate the blocks as far as possible towards one end of the
+   logical device--the left (starting) end of the device if we are walking from left to right, the right end of the
+   device if we are walking from right to left.  We then make passes in alternating directions, and as we do this the
+   device becomes sorted such that tree order and block number order fully correlate.
+
+   Resizing is done by shifting everything either all the way to the left or all the way
+   to the right, and then reporting the last block.
+*/
+
+/* RELOCATE DECISIONS: The code makes a decision to relocate in several places.  This
+   descibes the policy from the highest level:
+
+   The FLUSH_RELOCATE_THRESHOLD parameter: If we count this many consecutive nodes on the
+   leaf level during flush-scan (right, left), then we unconditionally decide to relocate
+   leaf nodes.
+
+   Otherwise, there are two contexts in which we make a decision to relocate:
+
+   1. The REVERSE PARENT-FIRST context: Implemented in reverse_relocate_test().
+   During the initial stages of flush, after scan-right completes, we want to ask the
+   question: should we relocate this leaf node and thus dirty the parent node.  Then if
+   the node is a leftmost child its parent is its own parent-first preceder, thus we repeat
+   the question at the next level up, and so on.  In these cases we are moving in the
+   reverse-parent first direction.
+
+   There is another case which is considered the reverse direction, which comes at the end
+   of a twig in reverse_relocate_end_of_twig().  As we finish processing a twig we may
+   reach a point where there is a clean twig to the right with a dirty leftmost child.  In
+   this case, we may wish to relocate the child by testing if it should be relocated
+   relative to its parent.
+
+   2. The FORWARD PARENT-FIRST context: Testing for forward relocation is done in
+   allocate_znode.  What distinguishes the forward parent-first case from the
+   reverse-parent first case is that the preceder has already been allocated in the
+   forward case, whereas in the reverse case we don't know what the preceder is until we
+   finish "going in reverse".  That simplifies the forward case considerably, and there we
+   actually use the block allocator to determine whether, e.g., a block closer to the
+   preceder is available.
+*/
+
+/* SQUEEZE_LEFT_EDGE: Unimplemented idea for future consideration.  The idea is, once we
+   finish scan-left and find a starting point, if the parent's left neighbor is dirty then
+   squeeze the parent's left neighbor and the parent.  This may change the
+   flush-starting-node's parent.  Repeat until the child's parent is stable.  If the child
+   is a leftmost child, repeat this left-edge squeezing operation at the next level up.
+   Note that we cannot allocate extents during this or they will be out of parent-first
+   order.  There is also some difficult coordinate maintenence issues.  We can't do a tree
+   search to find coordinates again (because we hold locks), we have to determine them
+   from the two nodes being squeezed.  Looks difficult, but has potential to increase
+   space utilization. */

+/* JNODE_FLUSH: MAIN ENTRY POINT */
+/* This is the main entry point for flushing a jnode and its dirty neighborhood (dirty
+   neighborhood is named "slum").  Jnode_flush() is called if reiser4 has to write dirty
+   blocks to disk, it happens when Linux VM decides to reduce number of dirty pages or as
+   a part of transaction commit.
+
+   Our objective here is to prep and flush the slum the jnode belongs to. We want to
+   squish the slum together, and allocate the nodes in it as we squish because allocation
+   of children affects squishing of parents.
+
+   The "argument" @node tells flush where to start.  From there, flush finds the left edge
+   of the slum, and calls squalloc (in which nodes are squeezed and allocated).  To find a
+   "better place" to start squalloc first we perform a flush_scan.
+
+   Flush-scanning may be performed in both left and right directions, but for different
+   purposes.  When scanning to the left, we are searching for a node that precedes a
+   sequence of parent-first-ordered nodes which we will then flush in parent-first order.
+   During flush-scanning, we also take the opportunity to count the number of consecutive
+   leaf nodes.  If this number is past some threshold (FLUSH_RELOCATE_THRESHOLD), then we
+   make a decision to reallocate leaf nodes (thus favoring write-optimization).
+
+   Since the flush argument node can be anywhere in a sequence of dirty leaves, there may
+   also be dirty nodes to the right of the argument.  If the scan-left operation does not
+   count at least FLUSH_RELOCATE_THRESHOLD nodes then we follow it with a right-scan
+   operation to see whether there is, in fact, enough nodes to meet the relocate
+   threshold.  Each right- and left-scan operation uses a single flush_scan object.
+
+   After left-scan and possibly right-scan, we prepare a flush_position object with the
+   starting flush point or parent coordinate, which was determined using scan-left.
+
+   Next we call the main flush routine, squalloc, which iterates along the
+   leaf level, squeezing and allocating nodes (and placing them into the flush queue).
+
+   After squalloc returns we take extra steps to ensure that all the children
+   of the final twig node are allocated--this involves repeating squalloc
+   until we finish at a twig with no unallocated children.
+
+   Finally, we call flush_empty_queue to submit write-requests to disk.  If we encounter
+   any above-twig nodes during flush_empty_queue that still have unallocated children, we
+   flush_unprep them.
+
+   Flush treats several "failure" cases as non-failures, essentially causing them to start
+   over.  E_DEADLOCK is one example.  FIXME:(C) EINVAL, E_NO_NEIGHBOR, ENOENT: these should
+   probably be handled properly rather than restarting, but there are a bunch of cases to
+   audit.

+          deleted to the right.  So if nothing is broken, why fix it?

+          so that pos_stop() sets a flush_position->stop flag to 1 without
+          releasing the current position immediately--instead release it in
+          pos_done().  This is a better implementation than the current one anyway.
+
+          It is not clear that all fields of the flush_position should not be released,
+          but at the very least the parent_lock, parent_coord, and parent_load should
+          remain held because they are hold the last twig when pos_stop() is
+          called.
+
+          When we reach this point in the code, if the parent_coord is set to after the
+          last item then we know that flush reached the end of a twig (and according to
+          the new flush queueing design, we will return now).  If parent_coord is not
+          past the last item, we should check if the current twig has any unallocated
+          children to the right (we are not concerned with unallocated children to the
+          left--in that case the twig itself should not have been allocated).  If the
+          twig has unallocated children to the right, set the parent_coord to that
+          position and then repeat the call to squalloc.
+
+          Testing for unallocated children may be defined in two ways: if any internal
+          item has a fake block number, it is unallocated; if any extent item is
+          unallocated then all of its children are unallocated.  But there is a more
+          aggressive approach: if there are any dirty children of the twig to the right
+          of the current position, we may wish to relocate those nodes now.  Checking for
+          potential relocation is more expensive as it requires knowing whether there are
+          any dirty children that are not unallocated.  The extent_needs_allocation
+          should be used after setting the correct preceder.
+
+          When we reach the end of a twig at this point in the code, if the flush can
+          continue (when the queue is ready) it will need some information on the future
+          starting point.  That should be stored away in the flush_handle using a seal, I
+          believe.  Holding a jref() on the future starting point may break other code
+          that deletes that node.

+          and allocate steps but leave unallocated branches and possibly unallocated
+          twigs (when the twig's leftmost child is not dirty).  After flushing the leaf

+
+   1. Scan-left
+   2. Scan-right (maybe)
+   3. Allocate initial flush position and its ancestors
+   4. <handle extents>
+   5. <squeeze and next position and its ancestors to-the-right,
+       then update position to-the-right>
+   6. <repeat from #4 until flush is stopped>
+
+   This procedure implements the loop in steps 4 through 6 in the above listing.
+
+   Step 4: if the current flush position is an extent item (position on the twig level),
+   it allocates the extent (allocate_extent_item_in_place) then shifts to the next
+   coordinate.  If the next coordinate's leftmost child needs flushprep, we will continue.
+   If the next coordinate is an internal item, we descend back to the leaf level,
+   otherwise we repeat a step #4 (labeled ALLOC_EXTENTS below).  If the "next coordinate"
+   brings us past the end of the twig level, then we call
+   reverse_relocate_end_of_twig to possibly dirty the next (right) twig, prior to
+   step #5 which moves to the right.
+
+   Step 5: calls squalloc_changed_ancestors, which initiates a recursive call up the
+   tree to allocate any ancestors of the next-right flush position that are not also
+   ancestors of the current position.  Those ancestors (in top-down order) are the next in
+   parent-first order.  We squeeze adjacent nodes on the way up until the right node and
+   current node share the same parent, then allocate on the way back down.  Finally, this
+   step sets the flush position to the next-right node.  Then repeat steps 4 and 5.

+   node's parent when scanning in each direction.  If we search for the parent once it is
+   set in both scan objects.  The limit parameter tells flush-scan when to stop.
+
+   Rapid scanning is used only during scan_left, where we are interested in finding the
+   'leftpoint' where we begin flushing.  We are interested in stopping at the left child
+   of a twig that does not have a dirty left neighbor.  THIS IS A SPECIAL CASE.  The
+   problem is finding a way to flush only those nodes without unallocated children, and it
+   is difficult to solve in the bottom-up flushing algorithm we are currently using.  The
+   problem can be solved by scanning left at every level as we go upward, but this would
+   basically bring us back to using a top-down allocation strategy, which we already tried
+   (see BK history from May 2002), and has a different set of problems.  The top-down
+   strategy makes avoiding unallocated children easier, but makes it difficult to
+   propertly flush dirty children with clean parents that would otherwise stop the
+   top-down flush, only later to dirty the parent once the children are flushed.  So we
+   solve the problem in the bottom-up algorithm with a special case for twigs and leaves
+   only.
+
+   The first step in solving the problem is this rapid leftward scan.  After we determine
+   that there are at least enough nodes counted to qualify for FLUSH_RELOCATE_THRESHOLD we
+   are no longer interested in the exact count, we are only interested in finding a the
+   best place to start the flush.  We could choose one of two possibilities:
+
+   1. Stop at the leftmost child (of a twig) that does not have a dirty left neighbor.
+   This requires checking one leaf per rapid-scan twig
+
+   2. Stop at the leftmost child (of a twig) where there are no dirty children of the twig
+   to the left.  This requires checking possibly all of the in-memory children of each
+   twig during the rapid scan.
+
+   For now we implement the first policy.

+/* Jnode manipulation functions. */
+/* Jnode is entity used to track blocks with data and meta-data in reiser4.
+
+   In particular, jnodes are used to track transactional information
+   associated with each block. Each znode contains jnode as ->zjnode field.
+
+   Jnode stands for either Josh or Journal node.
+*/
+
+/*
+ * Taxonomy.
+ *
+ *     Jnode represents block containing data or meta-data. There are jnodes
+ *     for:
+ *
+ *         unformatted blocks (jnodes proper). There are plans, however to
+ *         have a handle per extent unit rather than per each unformatted
+ *         block, because there are so many of them.
+ *
+ *         For bitmaps. Each bitmap is actually represented by two jnodes--one
+ *         for working and another for "commit" data, together forming bnode.
+ *
+ *         For io-heads. These are used by log writer.
+ *
+ *         For formatted nodes (znode). See comment at the top of znode.c for
+ *         details specific to the formatted nodes (znodes).
+ *
+ * Node data.
+ *
+ *     Jnode provides access to the data of node it represents. Data are
+ *     stored in a page. Page is kept in a page cache. This means, that jnodes
+ *     are highly interconnected with page cache and VM internals.
+ *
+ *     jnode has a pointer to page (->pg) containing its data. Pointer to data
+ *     themselves is cached in ->data field to avoid frequent calls to
+ *     page_address().
+ *
+ *     jnode and page are attached to each other by jnode_attach_page(). This
+ *     function places pointer to jnode in set_page_private(), sets PG_private
+ *     flag and increments page counter.
+ *
+ *     Opposite operation is performed by page_clear_jnode().
+ *
+ *     jnode->pg is protected by jnode spin lock, and page->private is
+ *     protected by page lock. See comment at the top of page_cache.c for
+ *     more.
+ *
+ *     page can be detached from jnode for two reasons:
+ *
+ *         . jnode is removed from a tree (file is truncated, of formatted
+ *         node is removed by balancing).
+ *
+ *         . during memory pressure, VM calls ->releasepage() method
+ *         (reiser4_releasepage()) to evict page from memory.
+ *
+ *    (there, of course, is also umount, but this is special case we are not
+ *    concerned with here).
+ *
+ *    To protect jnode page from eviction, one calls jload() function that
+ *    "pins" page in memory (loading it if necessary), increments
+ *    jnode->d_count, and kmap()s page. Page is unpinned through call to
+ *    jrelse().
+ *
+ * Jnode life cycle.
+ *
+ *    jnode is created, placed in hash table, and, optionally, in per-inode
+ *    radix tree. Page can be attached to jnode, pinned, released, etc.
+ *
+ *    When jnode is captured into atom its reference counter is
+ *    increased. While being part of an atom, jnode can be "early
+ *    flushed". This means that as part of flush procedure, jnode is placed
+ *    into "relocate set", and its page is submitted to the disk. After io
+ *    completes, page can be detached, then loaded again, re-dirtied, etc.
+ *
+ *    Thread acquired reference to jnode by calling jref() and releases it by
+ *    jput(). When last reference is removed, jnode is still retained in
+ *    memory (cached) if it has page attached, _unless_ it is scheduled for
+ *    destruction (has JNODE_HEARD_BANSHEE bit set).
+ *
+ *    Tree read-write lock was used as "existential" lock for jnodes. That is,
+ *    jnode->x_count could be changed from 0 to 1 only under tree write lock,
+ *    that is, tree lock protected unreferenced jnodes stored in the hash
+ *    table, from recycling.
+ *
+ *    This resulted in high contention on tree lock, because jref()/jput() is
+ *    frequent operation. To ameliorate this problem, RCU is used: when jput()
+ *    is just about to release last reference on jnode it sets JNODE_RIP bit
+ *    on it, and then proceed with jnode destruction (removing jnode from hash
+ *    table, cbk_cache, detaching page, etc.). All places that change jnode
+ *    reference counter from 0 to 1 (jlookup(), zlook(), zget(), and
+ *    cbk_cache_scan_slots()) check for JNODE_RIP bit (this is done by
+ *    jnode_rip_check() function), and pretend that nothing was found in hash
+ *    table if bit is set.
+ *
+ *    jput defers actual return of jnode into slab cache to some later time
+ *    (by call_rcu()), this guarantees that other threads can safely continue
+ *    working with JNODE_RIP-ped jnode.

+ * jnode page) from being evicted from memory. Data are protected by jload()

+ *
+ * If thread already possesses a reference to the jnode it can acquire another

+ * nodes are kept in global hash table, where they are indexed by block

+ * table, which is indexed by oid and offset within file, and in per-inode
+ * radix tree.
+ *
+ * Reference to jnode is released by jput(). If last reference is released,
+ * jput_final() is called. This function determines whether jnode has to be
+ * deleted (this happens when corresponding node is removed from the file
+ * system, jnode is marked with JNODE_HEARD_BANSHEE bit in this case), or it

+   Jnode is the "base class" of other nodes in reiser4. It is also happens to
+   be exactly the node we use for unformatted tree nodes.
+
+   Jnode provides following basic functionality:
+
+   . reference counting and indexing.
+
+   . integration with page cache. Jnode has ->pg reference to which page can
+   be attached.
+
+   . interface to transaction manager. It is jnode that is kept in transaction
+   manager lists, attached to atoms, etc. (NOTE-NIKITA one may argue that this
+   means, there should be special type of jnode for inode.)
+
+   Locking:
+
+   Spin lock: the following fields are protected by the per-jnode spin lock:
+
+    ->state
+    ->atom
+    ->capture_link
+
+   Following fields are protected by the global tree lock:
+
+    ->link
+    ->key.z (content of ->key.z is only changed in znode_rehash())
+    ->key.j
+
+   Atomic counters
+
+    ->x_count
+    ->d_count
+
+    ->pg, and ->data are protected by spin lock for unused jnode and are
+    immutable for used jnode (one for which fs/reiser4/vfs_ops.c:releasable()
+    is false).
+
+    ->tree is immutable after creation
+
+   Unclear
+
+    ->blocknr: should be under jnode spin-lock, but current interface is based
+    on passing of block address.
+
+   If you ever need to spin lock two nodes at once, do this in "natural"
+   memory order: lock znode with lower address first. (See lock_two_nodes().)
+
+   Invariants involving this data-type:

+/* Key assignment policy implementation */
+
+/*
+ * In reiser4 every piece of file system data and meta-data has a key. Keys
+ * are used to store information in and retrieve it from reiser4 internal
+ * tree. In addition to this, keys define _ordering_ of all file system
+ * information: things having close keys are placed into the same or
+ * neighboring (in the tree order) nodes of the tree. As our block allocator
+ * tries to respect tree order (see flush.c), keys also define order in which
+ * things are laid out on the disk, and hence, affect performance directly.
+ *
+ * Obviously, assignment of keys to data and meta-data should be consistent
+ * across whole file system. Algorithm that calculates a key for a given piece
+ * of data or meta-data is referred to as "key assignment".
+ *
+ * Key assignment is too expensive to be implemented as a plugin (that is,
+ * with an ability to support different key assignment schemas in the same
+ * compiled kernel image). As a compromise, all key-assignment functions and
+ * data-structures are collected in this single file, so that modifications to
+ * key assignment algorithm can be localized. Additional changes may be
+ * required in key.[ch].
+ *
+ * Current default reiser4 key assignment algorithm is dubbed "Plan A". As one
+ * may guess, there is "Plan B" too.

+         Reiser4 is a filesystem that performs all filesystem operations
+         as atomic transactions, which means that it either performs a
+         write, or it does not, and in the event of a crash it does not
+         partially perform it or corrupt it.
+
+         It stores files in dancing trees, which are like balanced trees but
+         faster.  It packs small files together so that they share blocks
+         without wasting space.  This means you can use it to store really
+         small files.  It also means that it saves you disk space.  It avoids
+         hassling you with anachronisms like having a maximum number of
+         inodes, and wasting space if you use less than that number.
+
+         Reiser4 is a distinct filesystem type from reiserfs (V3).
+         It's therefore not possible to use reiserfs file systems

+/* Traditional deadlock avoidance is achieved by acquiring all locks in a single
+   order.  V4 balances the tree from the bottom up, and searches the tree from
+   the top down, and that is really the way we want it, so tradition won't work
+   for us.
+
+   Instead we have two lock orderings, a high priority lock ordering, and a low
+   priority lock ordering.  Each node in the tree has a lock in its znode.
+
+   Suppose we have a set of processes which lock (R/W) tree nodes. Each process
+   has a set (maybe empty) of already locked nodes ("process locked set"). Each
+   process may have a pending lock request to a node locked by another process.
+   Note: we lock and unlock, but do not transfer locks: it is possible
+   transferring locks instead would save some bus locking....
+
+   Deadlock occurs when we have a loop constructed from process locked sets and
+   lock request vectors.
+
+   NOTE: The reiser4 "tree" is a tree on disk, but its cached representation in
+   memory is extended with "znodes" with which we connect nodes with their left
+   and right neighbors using sibling pointers stored in the znodes.  When we
+   perform balancing operations we often go from left to right and from right to
+   left.

+   +--------------------+
+
+   We solve this by ensuring that only low priority processes lock in top to
+   bottom order and from right to left, and high priority processes lock from
+   bottom to top and left to right.
+
+   ZAM-FIXME-HANS: order not just node locks in this way, order atom locks, and
+   kill those damn busy loops.
+   ANSWER(ZAM): atom locks (which are introduced by ASTAGE_CAPTURE_WAIT atom
+   stage) cannot be ordered that way. There are no rules what nodes can belong
+   to the atom and what nodes cannot.  We cannot define what is right or left
+   direction, what is top or bottom.  We can take immediate parent or side
+   neighbor of one node, but nobody guarantees that, say, left neighbor node is
+   not a far right neighbor for other nodes from the same atom.  It breaks
+   deadlock avoidance rules and hi-low priority locking cannot be applied for
+   atom locks.
+
+   How does it help to avoid deadlocks ?
+
+   Suppose we have a deadlock with n processes. Processes from one priority
+   class never deadlock because they take locks in one consistent
+   order.
+
+   So, any possible deadlock loop must have low priority as well as high
+   priority processes.  There are no other lock priority levels except low and
+   high. We know that any deadlock loop contains at least one node locked by a
+   low priority process and requested by a high priority process. If this
+   situation is caught and resolved it is sufficient to avoid deadlocks.
+
+   V4 DEADLOCK PREVENTION ALGORITHM IMPLEMENTATION.
+
+   The deadlock prevention algorithm is based on comparing
+   priorities of node owners (processes which keep znode locked) and
+   requesters (processes which want to acquire a lock on znode).  We
+   implement a scheme where low-priority owners yield locks to
+   high-priority requesters. We created a signal passing system that
+   is used to ask low-priority processes to yield one or more locked
+   znodes.
+
+   The condition when a znode needs to change its owners is described by the
+   following formula:
+
+   #############################################
+   #                                           #
+   # (number of high-priority requesters) >  0 #
+   #                AND                        #
+   # (numbers of high-priority owners)    == 0 #
+   #                                           #
+   #############################################
+
+   Note that a low-priority process delays node releasing if another
+   high-priority process owns this node.  So, slightly more strictly speaking,
+   to have a deadlock capable cycle you must have a loop in which a high
+   priority process is waiting on a low priority process to yield a node, which
+   is slightly different from saying a high priority process is waiting on a
+   node owned by a low priority process.
+
+   It is enough to avoid deadlocks if we prevent any low-priority process from
+   falling asleep if its locked set contains a node which satisfies the
+   deadlock condition.
+
+   That condition is implicitly or explicitly checked in all places where new
+   high-priority requests may be added or removed from node request queue or
+   high-priority process takes or releases a lock on node. The main
+   goal of these checks is to never lose the moment when node becomes "has
+   wrong owners" and send "must-yield-this-lock" signals to its low-pri owners
+   at that time.
+
+   The information about received signals is stored in the per-process
+   structure (lock stack) and analyzed before a low-priority process goes to
+   sleep but after a "fast" attempt to lock a node fails. Any signal wakes
+   sleeping process up and forces him to re-check lock status and received
+   signal info. If "must-yield-this-lock" signals were received the locking
+   primitive (longterm_lock_znode()) fails with -E_DEADLOCK error code.
+
+   V4 LOCKING DRAWBACKS
+
+   If we have already balanced on one level, and we are propagating our changes
+   upward to a higher level, it could be very messy to surrender all locks on
+   the lower level because we put so much computational work into it, and
+   reverting them to their state before they were locked might be very complex.
+   We also don't want to acquire all locks before performing balancing because
+   that would either be almost as much work as the balancing, or it would be
+   too conservative and lock too much.  We want balancing to be done only at
+   high priority.  Yet, we might want to go to the left one node and use some
+   of its empty space... So we make one attempt at getting the node to the left
+   using try_lock, and if it fails we do without it, because we didn't really
+   need it, it was only a nice to have.
+
+   LOCK STRUCTURES DESCRIPTION
+
+   The following data structures are used in the reiser4 locking
+   implementation:
+
+   All fields related to long-term locking are stored in znode->lock.
+
+   The lock stack is a per thread object.  It owns all znodes locked by the
+   thread. One znode may be locked by several threads in case of read lock or
+   one znode may be write locked by one thread several times. The special link
+   objects (lock handles) support n<->m relation between znodes and lock
+   owners.

+
+   Thread 1 locked znodes Z1 and Z2, thread 2 locked znodes Z2 and Z3. The
+   picture above shows that lock stack LS1 has a list of 2 lock handles LH1 and
+   LH2, lock stack LS2 has a list with lock handles LH3 and LH4 on it.  Znode
+   Z1 is locked by only one thread, znode has only one lock handle LH1 on its
+   list, similar situation is for Z3 which is locked by the thread 2 only. Z2
+   is locked (for read) twice by different threads and two lock handles are on
+   its list. Each lock handle represents a single relation of a locking of a
+   znode by a thread. Locking of a znode is an establishing of a locking
+   relation between the lock stack and the znode by adding of a new lock handle
+   to a list of lock handles, the lock stack.  The lock stack links all lock
+   handles for all znodes locked by the lock stack.  The znode list groups all
+   lock handles for all locks stacks which locked the znode.
+
+   Yet another relation may exist between znode and lock owners.  If lock
+   procedure cannot immediately take lock on an object it adds the lock owner
+   on special `requestors' list belongs to znode.  That list represents a
+   queue of pending lock requests.  Because one lock owner may request only
+   only one lock object at a time, it is a 1->n relation between lock objects
+   and a lock owner implemented as it is described above. Full information
+   (priority, pointers to lock and link objects) about each lock request is
+   stored in lock owner structure in `request' field.
+
+   SHORT_TERM LOCKING
+
+   This is a list of primitive operations over lock stacks / lock handles /
+   znodes and locking descriptions for them.
+
+   1. locking / unlocking which is done by two list insertion/deletion, one
+      to/from znode's list of lock handles, another one is to/from lock stack's
+      list of lock handles.  The first insertion is protected by
+      znode->lock.guard spinlock.  The list owned by the lock stack can be
+      modified only by thread who owns the lock stack and nobody else can
+      modify/read it. There is nothing to be protected by a spinlock or
+      something else.
+
+   2. adding/removing a lock request to/from znode requesters list. The rule is
+      that znode->lock.guard spinlock should be taken for this.
+
+   3. we can traverse list of lock handles and use references to lock stacks who
+      locked given znode if znode->lock.guard spinlock is taken.
+
+   4. If a lock stack is associated with a znode as a lock requestor or lock
+      owner its existence is guaranteed by znode->lock.guard spinlock.  Some its
+      (lock stack's) fields should be protected from being accessed in parallel
+      by two or more threads. Please look at  lock_stack structure definition
+      for the info how those fields are protected. */
+
+/* Znode lock and capturing intertwining. */
+/* In current implementation we capture formatted nodes before locking
+   them. Take a look on longterm lock znode, reiser4_try_capture() request
+   precedes locking requests.  The longterm_lock_znode function unconditionally
+   captures znode before even checking of locking conditions.
+
+   Another variant is to capture znode after locking it.  It was not tested, but
+   at least one deadlock condition is supposed to be there.  One thread has
+   locked a znode (Node-1) and calls reiser4_try_capture() for it.
+   reiser4_try_capture() sleeps because znode's atom has CAPTURE_WAIT state.
+   Second thread is a flushing thread, its current atom is the atom Node-1
+   belongs to. Second thread wants to lock Node-1 and sleeps because Node-1
+   is locked by the first thread.  The described situation is a deadlock. */

+   . Formatted and unformatted nodes.
+     Elements of reiser4 balanced tree to store data and metadata.
+     Unformatted nodes are pointed to by extent pointers. Such nodes
+     are used to store data of large objects. Unlike unformatted nodes,
+     formatted ones have associated format described by node4X plugin.
+
+   . Jnode (or journal node)
+     The in-memory header which is used to track formatted and unformatted
+     nodes, bitmap nodes, etc. In particular, jnodes are used to track
+     transactional information associated with each block(see reiser4/jnode.c
+     for details).
+
+   . Znode
+     The in-memory header which is used to track formatted nodes. Contains
+     embedded jnode (see reiser4/znode.c for details).
+*/
+
+/* We store all file system meta data (and data, of course) in the page cache.
+
+   What does this mean? In stead of using bread/brelse we create special
+   "fake" inode (one per super block) and store content of formatted nodes
+   into pages bound to this inode in the page cache. In newer kernels bread()
+   already uses inode attached to block device (bd_inode). Advantage of having
+   our own fake inode is that we can install appropriate methods in its
+   address_space operations. Such methods are called by VM on memory pressure
+   (or during background page flushing) and we can use them to react
+   appropriately.
+
+   In initial version we only support one block per page. Support for multiple
+   blocks per page is complicated by relocation.
+
+   To each page, used by reiser4, jnode is attached. jnode is analogous to
+   buffer head. Difference is that jnode is bound to the page permanently:
+   jnode cannot be removed from memory until its backing page is.
+
+   jnode contain pointer to page (->pg field) and page contain pointer to
+   jnode in ->private field. Pointer from jnode to page is protected to by
+   jnode's spinlock and pointer from page to jnode is protected by page lock
+   (PG_locked bit). Lock ordering is: first take page lock, then jnode spin
+   lock. To go into reverse direction use jnode_lock_page() function that uses
+   standard try-lock-and-release device.
+
+   Properties:
+
+   1. when jnode-to-page mapping is established (by jnode_attach_page()), page
+   reference counter is increased.
+
+   2. when jnode-to-page mapping is destroyed (by page_clear_jnode(), page
+   reference counter is decreased.
+
+   3. on jload() reference counter on jnode page is increased, page is
+   kmapped and `referenced'.
+
+   4. on jrelse() inverse operations are performed.
+
+   5. kmapping/kunmapping of unformatted pages is done by read/write methods.
+
+   DEADLOCKS RELATED TO MEMORY PRESSURE. [OUTDATED. Only interesting
+   historically.]
+
+   [In the following discussion, `lock' invariably means long term lock on
+   znode.] (What about page locks?)
+
+   There is some special class of deadlock possibilities related to memory
+   pressure. Locks acquired by other reiser4 threads are accounted for in
+   deadlock prevention mechanism (lock.c), but when ->vm_writeback() is
+   invoked additional hidden arc is added to the locking graph: thread that
+   tries to allocate memory waits for ->vm_writeback() to finish. If this
+   thread keeps lock and ->vm_writeback() tries to acquire this lock, deadlock
+   prevention is useless.
+
+   Another related problem is possibility for ->vm_writeback() to run out of
+   memory itself. This is not a problem for ext2 and friends, because their
+   ->vm_writeback() don't allocate much memory, but reiser4 flush is
+   definitely able to allocate huge amounts of memory.
+
+   It seems that there is no reliable way to cope with the problems above. In
+   stead it was decided that ->vm_writeback() (as invoked in the kswapd
+   context) wouldn't perform any flushing itself, but rather should just wake
+   up some auxiliary thread dedicated for this purpose (or, the same thread
+   that does periodic commit of old atoms (ktxnmgrd.c)).
+
+   Details:
+
+   1. Page is called `reclaimable' against particular reiser4 mount F if this
+   page can be ultimately released by try_to_free_pages() under presumptions
+   that:
+
+    a. ->vm_writeback() for F is no-op, and
+
+    b. none of the threads accessing F are making any progress, and
+
+    c. other reiser4 mounts obey the same memory reservation protocol as F
+    (described below).
+
+   For example, clean un-pinned page, or page occupied by ext2 data are
+   reclaimable against any reiser4 mount.
+
+   When there is more than one reiser4 mount in a system, condition (c) makes
+   reclaim-ability not easily verifiable beyond trivial cases mentioned above.
+
+   THIS COMMENT IS VALID FOR "MANY BLOCKS ON PAGE" CASE
+
+   Fake inode is used to bound formatted nodes and each node is indexed within
+   fake inode by its block number. If block size of smaller than page size, it
+   may so happen that block mapped to the page with formatted node is occupied
+   by unformatted node or is unallocated. This lead to some complications,
+   because flushing whole page can lead to an incorrect overwrite of
+   unformatted node that is moreover, can be cached in some other place as
+   part of the file body. To avoid this, buffers for unformatted nodes are
+   never marked dirty. Also pages in the fake are never marked dirty. This
+   rules out usage of ->writepage() as memory pressure hook. In stead
+   ->releasepage() is used.
+
+   Josh is concerned that page->buffer is going to die. This should not pose
+   significant problem though, because we need to add some data structures to
+   the page anyway (jnode) and all necessary book keeping can be put there.
+
+*/
+
+/* Life cycle of pages/nodes.
+
+   jnode contains reference to page and page contains reference back to
+   jnode. This reference is counted in page ->count. Thus, page bound to jnode
+   cannot be released back into free pool.
+
+    1. Formatted nodes.
+
+      1. formatted node is represented by znode. When new znode is created its
+      ->pg pointer is NULL initially.
+
+      2. when node content is loaded into znode (by call to zload()) for the
+      first time following happens (in call to ->read_node() or
+      ->allocate_node()):
+
+        1. new page is added to the page cache.
+
+        2. this page is attached to znode and its ->count is increased.
+
+        3. page is kmapped.
+
+      3. if more calls to zload() follow (without corresponding zrelses), page
+      counter is left intact and in its stead ->d_count is increased in znode.
+
+      4. each call to zrelse decreases ->d_count. When ->d_count drops to zero
+      ->release_node() is called and page is kunmapped as result.
+
+      5. at some moment node can be captured by a transaction. Its ->x_count
+      is then increased by transaction manager.
+
+      6. if node is removed from the tree (empty node with JNODE_HEARD_BANSHEE
+      bit set) following will happen (also see comment at the top of znode.c):
+
+        1. when last lock is released, node will be uncaptured from
+        transaction. This released reference that transaction manager acquired
+        at the step 5.
+
+        2. when last reference is released, zput() detects that node is
+        actually deleted and calls ->delete_node()
+        operation. page_cache_delete_node() implementation detaches jnode from
+        page and releases page.
+
+      7. otherwise (node wasn't removed from the tree), last reference to
+      znode will be released after transaction manager committed transaction
+      node was in. This implies squallocing of this node (see
+      flush.c). Nothing special happens at this point. Znode is still in the
+      hash table and page is still attached to it.
+
+      8. znode is actually removed from the memory because of the memory
+      pressure, or during umount (znodes_tree_done()). Anyway, znode is
+      removed by the call to zdrop(). At this moment, page is detached from
+      znode and removed from the inode address space.

+   a killed item to remove its binded pages and jnodes.

+/*             Lifecycle of a logical cluster in the system.
+ *
+ *
+ * Logical cluster of a cryptcompress file is represented in the system by
+ * . page cluster (in memory, primary cache, contains plain text);
+ * . disk cluster (in memory, secondary cache, contains transformed text).
+ * Primary cache is to reduce number of transform operations (compression,
+ * encryption), i.e. to implement transform-caching strategy.
+ * Secondary cache is to reduce number of I/O operations, i.e. for usual
+ * write-caching strategy. Page cluster is a set of pages, i.e. mapping of
+ * a logical cluster to the primary cache. Disk cluster is a set of items
+ * of the same type defined by some reiser4 item plugin id.
+ *
+ *              1. Performing modifications
+ *
+ * Every modification of a cryptcompress file is considered as a set of
+ * operations performed on file's logical clusters. Every such "atomic"
+ * modification is truncate, append and(or) overwrite some bytes of a
+ * logical cluster performed in the primary cache with the following
+ * synchronization with the secondary cache (in flush time). Disk clusters,
+ * which live in the secondary cache, are supposed to be synchronized with
+ * disk. The mechanism of synchronization of primary and secondary caches
+ * includes so-called checkin/checkout technique described below.
+ *
+ *              2. Submitting modifications
+ *
+ * Each page cluster has associated jnode (a special in-memory header to
+ * keep a track of transactions in reiser4), which is attached to its first
+ * page when grabbing page cluster for modifications (see grab_page_cluster).
+ * Submitting modifications (see checkin_logical_cluster) is going per logical
+ * cluster and includes:
+ * . checkin_cluster_size;
+ * . checkin_page_cluster.
+ * checkin_cluster_size() is resolved to file size update (which completely
+ * defines new size of logical cluster (number of file's bytes in a logical
+ * cluster).
+ * checkin_page_cluster() captures jnode of a page cluster and installs
+ * jnode's dirty flag (if needed) to indicate that modifications are
+ * successfully checked in.
+ *
+ *              3. Checking out modifications
+ *
+ * Is going per logical cluster in flush time (see checkout_logical_cluster).
+ * This is the time of synchronizing primary and secondary caches.
+ * checkout_logical_cluster() includes:
+ * . checkout_page_cluster (retrieving checked in pages).
+ * . uncapture jnode (including clear dirty flag and unlock)
+ *
+ *              4. Committing modifications
+ *
+ * Proceeding a synchronization of primary and secondary caches. When checking
+ * out page cluster (the phase above) pages are locked/flushed/unlocked
+ * one-by-one in ascending order of their indexes to contiguous stream, which
+ * is supposed to be transformed (compressed, encrypted), chopped up into items
+ * and committed to disk as a disk cluster.
+ *
+ *              5. Managing page references
+ *
+ * Every checked in page have a special additional "control" reference,
+ * which is dropped at checkout. We need this to avoid unexpected evicting
+ * pages from memory before checkout. Control references are managed so
+ * they are not accumulated with every checkin:
+ *
+ *            0
+ * checkin -> 1
+ *            0 -> checkout
+ * checkin -> 1
+ * checkin -> 1
+ * checkin -> 1
+ *            0 -> checkout
+ *           ...
+ *
+ * Every page cluster has its own unique "cluster lock". Update/drop
+ * references are serialized via this lock. Number of checked in cluster
+ * pages is calculated by i_size under cluster lock. File size is updated
+ * at every checkin action also under cluster lock (except cases of
+ * appending/truncating fake logical clusters).
+ *
+ * Proof of correctness:
+ *
+ * Since we update file size under cluster lock, in the case of non-fake
+ * logical cluster with its lock held we do have expected number of checked
+ * in pages. On the other hand, append/truncate of fake logical clusters
+ * doesn't change number of checked in pages of any cluster.
+ *
+ * NOTE-EDWARD: As cluster lock we use guard (spinlock_t) of its jnode.
+ * Currently, I don't see any reason to create a special lock for those
+ * needs.

+ * This file contains a converter cryptcompress->unix_file, and O(1)-heuristic,
+ * which allows to assign for a regular file the most reasonable plugin to be
+ * managed by. Note, that we don't use back conversion because of compatibility
+ * reasons (see http://dev.namesys.com/Version4.X.Y for details).
+ *
+ * Currently used heuristic is very simple: if first complete logical cluster
+ * (64K by default) of a file is incompressible, then we make a decision, that
+ * the whole file is incompressible (*). When creating a file the conversion
+ * is enabled by default via installing a special "permitting" compression mode
+ * plugin (**) (CONVX_COMPRESSION_MODE_ID, see plugin/compress/compress_mode.c
+ * for details).
+ *
+ * The conversion is accompanied by rebuilding disk structures of a file, so it
+ * is important to protect them from being interacted with other plugins which
+ * don't expect them to be in such inconsistent state. For this to be protected
+ * we serialize readers and writers of pset. Writers are the processes which can
+ * change it with conversion purposes; other ones are readers. Serialization is
+ * performed via acquiring per-inode rw-semaphore (conv_sem).
+ *
+ * (*)  This heuristic can be easily changed as soon as we have a new,
+ *      better one.
+ * (**) Such solution allows to keep enable/disable state on disk.

+
+   A key issue for symfiles is how to implement writes through to
+   subfiles.  In general, one must have some method of determining what
+   of that which is written to the symfile is written to what subfile.
+   This can be done by use of custom plugin methods written by users, or
+   by using a few general methods we provide for those willing to endure
+   the insertion of delimiters into what is read.
+
+   Writing to symfiles without delimiters to denote what is written to
+   what subfile is not supported by any plugins we provide in this
+   release.  Our most sophisticated support for writes is that embodied
+   by the invert plugin (see invert.c).
+
+   A read only version of the /etc/passwd file might be
+   constructed as a symfile whose contents are as follows:
+
+   /etc/passwd/userlines/*
+
+   or
+
+   /etc/passwd/userlines/demidov+/etc/passwd/userlines/edward+/etc/passwd/userlines/reiser+/etc/passwd/userlines/root
+
+   or
+
+   /etc/passwd/userlines/(demidov+edward+reiser+root)
+
+   A symfile with contents
+
+   /filenameA+"(some text stored in the uninvertable symfile)+/filenameB
+
+   will return when read
+
+   The contents of filenameAsome text stored in the uninvertable symfileThe contents of filenameB
+
+   and write of what has been read will not be possible to implement as
+   an identity operation because there are no delimiters denoting the
+   boundaries of what is to be written to what subfile.
+
+   Note that one could make this a read/write symfile if one specified
+   delimiters, and the write method understood those delimiters delimited
+   what was written to subfiles.
+
+   So, specifying the symfile in a manner that allows writes:
+
+   /etc/passwd/userlines/demidov+"(
+   )+/etc/passwd/userlines/edward+"(
+   )+/etc/passwd/userlines/reiser+"(
+   )+/etc/passwd/userlines/root+"(
+   )
+
+   or
+
+   /etc/passwd/userlines/(demidov+"(
+   )+edward+"(
+   )+reiser+"(
+   )+root+"(
+   ))
+
+   and the file demidov might be specified as:
+
+   /etc/passwd/userlines/demidov/username+"(:)+/etc/passwd/userlines/demidov/password+"(:)+/etc/passwd/userlines/demidov/userid+"(:)+/etc/passwd/userlines/demidov/groupid+"(:)+/etc/passwd/userlines/demidov/gecos+"(:)+/etc/passwd/userlines/demidov/home+"(:)+/etc/passwd/userlines/demidov/shell
+
+   or
+
+   /etc/passwd/userlines/demidov/(username+"(:)+password+"(:)+userid+"(:)+groupid+"(:)+gecos+"(:)+home+"(:)+shell)
+
+   Notice that if the file demidov has a carriage return in it, the
+   parsing fails, but then if you put carriage returns in the wrong place
+   in a normal /etc/passwd file it breaks things also.
+
+   Note that it is forbidden to have no text between two interpolations
+   if one wants to be able to define what parts of a write go to what
+   subfiles referenced in an interpolation.
+
+   If one wants to be able to add new lines by writing to the file, one
+   must either write a custom plugin for /etc/passwd that knows how to
+   name an added line, or one must use an invert, or one must use a more
+   sophisticated symfile syntax that we are not planning to write for
+   version 4.0.

+ * removal), see reiser4_readdir_common() function below. This obviously doesn't
+ * work when reiser4 is accessed over NFS, because NFS doesn't keep any state
+ * across client READDIR requests for the same directory.
+ *
+ * To address this we maintain a "pool" of detached reiser4_file_fsdata
+ * (d_cursor). Whenever NFS readdir request comes, we detect this, and try to
+ * find detached reiser4_file_fsdata corresponding to previous readdir
+ * request. In other words, additional state is maintained on the
+ * server. (This is somewhat contrary to the design goals of NFS protocol.)
+ *
+ * To efficiently detect when our ->readdir() method is called by NFS server,
+ * dentry is marked as "stateless" in reiser4_decode_fh() (this is checked by
+ * file_is_stateless() function).
+ *
+ * To find out d_cursor in the pool, we encode client id (cid) in the highest
+ * bits of NFS readdir cookie: when first readdir request comes to the given
+ * directory from the given client, cookie is set to 0. This situation is
+ * detected, global cid_counter is incremented, and stored in highest bits of
+ * all direntry offsets returned to the client, including last one. As the
+ * only valid readdir cookie is one obtained as direntry->offset, we are
+ * guaranteed that next readdir request (continuing current one) will have
+ * current cid in the highest bits of starting readdir cookie. All d_cursors
+ * are hashed into per-super-block hash table by (oid, cid) key.
+ *
+ * In addition d_cursors are placed into per-super-block radix tree where they
+ * are keyed by oid alone. This is necessary to efficiently remove them during
+ * rmdir.
+ *
+ * At last, currently unused d_cursors are linked into special list. This list
+ * is used d_cursor_shrink to reclaim d_cursors on memory pressure.

+
+   readdir problems:
+
+   readdir(2)/getdents(2) interface is based on implicit assumption that
+   readdir can be restarted from any particular point by supplying file system
+   with off_t-full of data. That is, file system fills ->d_off field in struct
+   dirent and later user passes ->d_off to the seekdir(3), which is, actually,
+   implemented by glibc as lseek(2) on directory.
+
+   Reiser4 cannot restart readdir from 64 bits of data, because two last
+   components of the key of directory entry are unknown, which given 128 bits:
+   locality and type fields in the key of directory entry are always known, to
+   start readdir() from given point objectid and offset fields have to be
+   filled.
+
+   Traditional UNIX API for scanning through directory
+   (readdir/seekdir/telldir/opendir/closedir/rewindir/getdents) is based on the
+   assumption that directory is structured very much like regular file, in
+   particular, it is implied that each name within given directory (directory
+   entry) can be uniquely identified by scalar offset and that such offset is
+   stable across the life-time of the name is identifies.
+
+   This is manifestly not so for reiser4. In reiser4 the only stable unique
+   identifies for the directory entry is its key that doesn't fit into
+   seekdir/telldir API.
+
+   solution:
+
+   Within each file descriptor participating in readdir-ing of directory
+   plugin/dir/dir.h:readdir_pos is maintained. This structure keeps track of
+   the "current" directory entry that file descriptor looks at. It contains a
+   key of directory entry (plus some additional info to deal with non-unique
+   keys that we wouldn't dwell onto here) and a logical position of this
+   directory entry starting from the beginning of the directory, that is
+   ordinal number of this entry in the readdir order.
+
+   Obviously this logical position is not stable in the face of directory
+   modifications. To work around this, on each addition or removal of directory
+   entry all file descriptors for directory inode are scanned and their
+   readdir_pos are updated accordingly (adjust_dir_pos()).

+/* Directory entry implementation */
+
+/* DESCRIPTION:
+
+   This is "compound" directory item plugin implementation. This directory
+   item type is compound (as opposed to the "simple directory item" in
+   fs/reiser4/plugin/item/sde.[ch]), because it consists of several directory
+   entries.
+
+   The reason behind this decision is disk space efficiency: all directory
+   entries inside the same directory have identical fragment in their
+   keys. This, of course, depends on key assignment policy. In our default key
+   assignment policy, all directory entries have the same locality which is
+   equal to the object id of their directory.
+
+   Composing directory item out of several directory entries for the same
+   directory allows us to store said key fragment only once. That is, this is
+   some ad hoc form of key compression (stem compression) that is implemented
+   here, because general key compression is not supposed to be implemented in
+   v4.0.
+
+   Another decision that was made regarding all directory item plugins, is
+   that they will store entry keys unaligned. This is for that sake of disk
+   space efficiency again.
+
+   In should be noted, that storing keys unaligned increases CPU consumption,
+   at least on some architectures.
+
+   Internal on-disk structure of the compound directory item is the following:
+
+        HEADER          cde_item_format.        Here number of entries is stored.
+        ENTRY_HEADER_0  cde_unit_header.        Here part of entry key and
+        ENTRY_HEADER_1                          offset of entry body are stored.
+        ENTRY_HEADER_2                         (basically two last parts of key)
+        ...
+        ENTRY_HEADER_N
+        ENTRY_BODY_0    directory_entry_format. Here part of stat data key and
+        ENTRY_BODY_1                            NUL-terminated name are stored.
+        ENTRY_BODY_2                           (part of statadta key in the
+                                                sence that since all SDs have
+                                                zero offset, this offset is not
+                                                stored on disk).
+        ...
+        ENTRY_BODY_N
+
+   When it comes to the balancing, each directory entry in compound directory
+   item is unit, that is, something that can be cut from one item and pasted
+   into another item of the same type. Handling of unit cut and paste is major
+   reason for the complexity of code below.

+/* Stat data layout: goals and implementation.
+
+   We want to be able to have lightweight files which have complete flexibility in what semantic metadata is attached to
+   them, including not having semantic metadata attached to them.
+
+   There is one problem with doing that, which is that if in fact you have exactly the same metadata for most files you
+   want to store, then it takes more space to store that metadata in a dynamically sized structure than in a statically
+   sized structure because the statically sized structure knows without recording it what the names and lengths of the
+   attributes are.
+
+   This leads to a natural compromise, which is to special case those files which have simply the standard unix file
+   attributes, and only employ the full dynamic stat data mechanism for those files that differ from the standard unix
+   file in their use of file attributes.
+
+   Yet this compromise deserves to be compromised a little.
+
+   We accommodate the case where you have no more than the standard unix file attributes by using an "extension
+   bitmask": each bit in it indicates presence or absence of or particular stat data extension (see sd_ext_bits enum).
+
+   If the first bit of the extension bitmask bit is 0, we have light-weight file whose attributes are either inherited
+   from parent directory (as uid, gid) or initialised to some sane values.
+
+   To capitalize on existing code infrastructure, extensions are
+   implemented as plugins of type REISER4_SD_EXT_PLUGIN_TYPE.
+   Each stat-data extension plugin implements four methods:
+
+    ->present() called by sd_load() when this extension is found in stat-data
+    ->absent() called by sd_load() when this extension is not found in stat-data
+    ->save_len() called by sd_len() to calculate total length of stat-data
+    ->save() called by sd_save() to store extension data into stat-data
+
+    Implementation is in fs/reiser4/plugin/item/static_stat.c

+/* Node plugin interface.
+
+   Description: The tree provides the abstraction of flows, which it
+   internally fragments into items which it stores in nodes.
+
+   A key_atom is a piece of data bound to a single key.
+
+   For reasonable space efficiency to be achieved it is often
+   necessary to store key_atoms in the nodes in the form of items, where
+   an item is a sequence of key_atoms of the same or similar type. It is
+   more space-efficient, because the item can implement (very)
+   efficient compression of key_atom's bodies using internal knowledge
+   about their semantics, and it can often avoid having a key for each
+   key_atom. Each type of item has specific operations implemented by its
+   item handler (see balance.c).
+
+   Rationale: the rest of the code (specifically balancing routines)
+   accesses leaf level nodes through this interface. This way we can
+   implement various block layouts and even combine various layouts
+   within the same tree. Balancing/allocating algorithms should not
+   care about peculiarities of splitting/merging specific item types,
+   but rather should leave that to the item's item handler.
+
+   Items, including those that provide the abstraction of flows, have
+   the property that if you move them in part or in whole to another
+   node, the balancing code invokes their is_left_mergeable()
+   item_operation to determine if they are mergeable with their new
+   neighbor in the node you have moved them to.  For some items the
+   is_left_mergeable() function always returns null.
+
+   When moving the bodies of items from one node to another:
+
+     if a partial item is shifted to another node the balancing code invokes
+     an item handler method to handle the item splitting.
+
+     if the balancing code needs to merge with an item in the node it
+     is shifting to, it will invoke an item handler method to handle
+     the item merging.
+
+     if it needs to move whole item bodies unchanged, the balancing code uses xmemcpy()
+     adjusting the item headers after the move is done using the node handler.

+/* We need a definition of the default node layout here. */
+
+/* Generally speaking, it is best to have free space in the middle of the
+   node so that two sets of things can grow towards it, and to have the
+   item bodies on the left so that the last one of them grows into free
+   space.  We optimize for the case where we append new items to the end
+   of the node, or grow the last item, because it hurts nothing to so
+   optimize and it is a common special case to do massive insertions in
+   increasing key order (and one of cases more likely to have a real user
+   notice the delay time for).
+
+   formatted leaf default layout: (leaf1)
+
+   |node header:item bodies:free space:key + pluginid + item offset|
+
+   We grow towards the middle, optimizing layout for the case where we
+   append new items to the end of the node.  The node header is fixed
+   length.  Keys, and item offsets plus pluginids for the items
+   corresponding to them are in increasing key order, and are fixed
+   length.  Item offsets are relative to start of node (16 bits creating
+   a node size limit of 64k, 12 bits might be a better choice....).  Item
+   bodies are in decreasing key order.  Item bodies have a variable size.
+   There is a one to one to one mapping of keys to item offsets to item
+   bodies.  Item offsets consist of pointers to the zeroth byte of the
+   item body.  Item length equals the start of the next item minus the
+   start of this item, except the zeroth item whose length equals the end
+   of the node minus the start of that item (plus a byte).  In other
+   words, the item length is not recorded anywhere, and it does not need
+   to be since it is computable.
+
+   Leaf variable length items and keys layout : (lvar)
+
+   |node header:key offset + item offset + pluginid triplets:free space:key bodies:item bodies|
+
+   We grow towards the middle, optimizing layout for the case where we
+   append new items to the end of the node.  The node header is fixed
+   length.  Keys and item offsets for the items corresponding to them are
+   in increasing key order, and keys are variable length.  Item offsets
+   are relative to start of node (16 bits).  Item bodies are in
+   decreasing key order.  Item bodies have a variable size.  There is a
+   one to one to one mapping of keys to item offsets to item bodies.
+   Item offsets consist of pointers to the zeroth byte of the item body.
+   Item length equals the start of the next item's key minus the start of
+   this item, except the zeroth item whose length equals the end of the
+   node minus the start of that item (plus a byte).
+
+   leaf compressed keys layout: (lcomp)
+
+   |node header:key offset + key inherit + item offset pairs:free space:key bodies:item bodies|
+
+   We grow towards the middle, optimizing layout for the case where we
+   append new items to the end of the node.  The node header is fixed
+   length.  Keys and item offsets for the items corresponding to them are
+   in increasing key order, and keys are variable length.  The "key
+   inherit" field indicates how much of the key prefix is identical to
+   the previous key (stem compression as described in "Managing
+   Gigabytes" is used).  key_inherit is a one byte integer.  The
+   intra-node searches performed through this layout are linear searches,
+   and this is theorized to not hurt performance much due to the high
+   cost of processor stalls on modern CPUs, and the small number of keys
+   in a single node.  Item offsets are relative to start of node (16
+   bits).  Item bodies are in decreasing key order.  Item bodies have a
+   variable size.  There is a one to one to one mapping of keys to item
+   offsets to item bodies.  Item offsets consist of pointers to the
+   zeroth byte of the item body.  Item length equals the start of the
+   next item minus the start of this item, except the zeroth item whose
+   length equals the end of the node minus the start of that item (plus a
+   byte).  In other words, item length and key length is not recorded
+   anywhere, and it does not need to be since it is computable.
+
+   internal node default layout: (idef1)
+
+   just like ldef1 except that item bodies are either blocknrs of
+   children or extents, and moving them may require updating parent
+   pointers in the nodes that they point to.

+ * Examples of object plugins: file, directory, symlink, special file.
+ *
+ * Plugins associated with inode:
+ *
+ * Plugin of inode is plugin referenced by plugin-id field of on-disk
+ * stat-data. How we store this plugin in in-core inode is not
+ * important. Currently pointers are used, another variant is to store offsets
+ * and do array lookup on each access.
+ *
+ * Now, each inode has one selected plugin: object plugin that
+ * determines what type of file this object is: directory, regular etc.
+ *
+ * This main plugin can use other plugins that are thus subordinated to
+ * it. Directory instance of object plugin uses hash; regular file
+ * instance uses tail policy plugin.
+ *
+ * Object plugin is either taken from id in stat-data or guessed from
+ * i_mode bits. Once it is established we ask it to install its
+ * subordinate plugins, by looking again in stat-data or inheriting them
+ * from parent.
+ *
+ * How new inode is initialized during ->read_inode():
+ * 1 read stat-data and initialize inode fields: i_size, i_mode,
+ *   i_generation, capabilities etc.
+ * 2 read plugin id from stat data or try to guess plugin id
+ *   from inode->i_mode bits if plugin id is missing.
+ * 3 Call ->init_inode() method of stat-data plugin to initialise inode fields.
+ *
+ * NIKITA-FIXME-HANS: can you say a little about 1 being done before 3?  What
+ * if stat data does contain i_size, etc., due to it being an unusual plugin?
+ *
+ * 4 Call ->activate() method of object's plugin. Plugin is either read from
+ *    from stat-data or guessed from mode bits
+ * 5 Call ->inherit() method of object plugin to inherit as yet un initialized
+ *    plugins from parent.
+ *
+ * Easy induction proves that on last step all plugins of inode would be
+ * initialized.
+ *
+ * When creating new object:
+ * 1 obtain object plugin id (see next period)
+ * NIKITA-FIXME-HANS: period?
+ * 2 ->install() this plugin
+ * 3 ->inherit() the rest from the parent

+/* Basic plugin infrastructure, lookup etc. */
+
+/* PLUGINS:
+
+   Plugins are internal Reiser4 "modules" or "objects" used to increase
+   extensibility and allow external users to easily adapt reiser4 to
+   their needs.
+
+   Plugins are classified into several disjoint "types". Plugins
+   belonging to the particular plugin type are termed "instances" of
+   this type. Existing types are listed by enum reiser4_plugin_type
+   (see plugin/plugin_header.h)
+
+NIKITA-FIXME-HANS: update this list, and review this entire comment for currency
+
+   Object (file) plugin determines how given file-system object serves
+   standard VFS requests for read, write, seek, mmap etc. Instances of
+   file plugins are: regular file, directory, symlink. Another example
+   of file plugin is audit plugin, that optionally records accesses to
+   underlying object and forwards requests to it.
+
+   Hash plugins compute hashes used by reiser4 to store and locate
+   files within directories. Instances of hash plugin type are: r5,
+   tea, rupasov.
+
+   Tail plugins (or, more precisely, tail policy plugins) determine
+   when last part of the file should be stored in a formatted item.
+
+   Scope and lookup:
+
+   label such that pair ( type_label, plugin_label ) is unique.  This
+   pair is a globally persistent and user-visible plugin
+   identifier. Internally kernel maintains plugins and plugin types in
+   arrays using an index into those arrays as plugin and plugin type
+   identifiers. File-system in turn, also maintains persistent
+   "dictionary" which is mapping from plugin label to numerical
+   identifier which is stored in file-system objects.  That is, we
+   store the offset into the plugin array for that plugin type as the
+   plugin id in the stat data of the filesystem object.
+
+   Internal kernel plugin type identifier (index in plugins[] array) is
+   of type reiser4_plugin_type. Set of available plugin types is
+   currently static, but dynamic loading doesn't seem to pose
+   insurmountable problems.
+
+   Within each type plugins are addressed by the identifiers of type
+   reiser4_plugin_id (indices in reiser4_plugin_type_data.builtin[]).
+   Such identifiers are only required to be unique within one type,
+   not globally.
+
+   Thus, plugin in memory is uniquely identified by the pair (type_id,
+   id).
+
+   Usage:
+
+   There exists only one instance of each plugin instance, but this
+   single instance can be associated with many entities (file-system
+   objects, items, nodes, transactions, file-descriptors etc.). Entity
+   to which plugin of given type is termed (due to the lack of
+   imagination) "subject" of this plugin type and, by abuse of
+   terminology, subject of particular instance of this type to which
+   it's attached currently. For example, inode is subject of object
+   plugin type. Inode representing directory is subject of directory
+   plugin, hash plugin type and some particular instance of hash plugin
+   type. Inode, representing regular file is subject of "regular file"
+   plugin, tail-policy plugin type etc.
+
+   With each subject the plugin possibly stores some state. For example,
+   the state of a directory plugin (instance of object plugin type) is pointer
+   to hash plugin (if directories always use hashing that is).
+
+   Interface:
+
+   In addition to a scalar identifier, each plugin type and plugin
+   proper has a "label": short string and a "description"---longer
+   descriptive string. Labels and descriptions of plugin types are
+   hard-coded into plugins[] array, declared and defined in
+   plugin.c. Label and description of plugin are stored in .label and
+   .desc fields of reiser4_plugin_header respectively. It's possible to
+   locate plugin by the pair of labels.
+
+   Features (not implemented):
+
+    . user-level plugin manipulations:
+      + reiser4("filename/..file_plugin<='audit'");
+      + write(open("filename/..file_plugin"), "audit", 8);
+
+    . user level utilities lsplug and chplug to manipulate plugins.
+      Utilities are not of primary priority. Possibly they will be not
+      working on v4.0
+
+   NIKITA-FIXME-HANS: this should be a mkreiserfs option not a mount
+   option, do you agree?  I don't think that specifying it at mount time,
+   and then changing it with each mount, is a good model for usage.
+
+    . mount option "plug" to set-up plugins of root-directory.
+      "plug=foo:bar" will set "bar" as default plugin of type "foo".
+
+   Limitations:
+
+    . each plugin type has to provide at least one builtin
+      plugin. This is technical limitation and it can be lifted in the
+      future.
+
+   TODO:
+
+   New plugin types/plugings:
+   Things we should be able to separately choose to inherit:
+
+   security plugins
+
+   stat data
+
+   file bodies
+
+   file plugins
+
+   dir plugins
+
+    . perm:acl
+
+    . audi---audit plugin intercepting and possibly logging all
+      accesses to object. Requires to put stub functions in file_operations
+      in stead of generic_file_*.
+
+NIKITA-FIXME-HANS: why make overflows a plugin?
+    . over---handle hash overflows
+
+    . sqnt---handle different access patterns and instruments read-ahead
+
+NIKITA-FIXME-HANS: describe the line below in more detail.
+
+    . hier---handle inheritance of plugins along file-system hierarchy
+
+   Different kinds of inheritance: on creation vs. on access.
+   Compatible/incompatible plugins.
+   Inheritance for multi-linked files.
+   Layered plugins.
+   Notion of plugin context is abandoned.
+
+Each file is associated
+   with one plugin and dependant plugins (hash, etc.) are stored as
+   main plugin state. Now, if we have plugins used for regular files
+   but not for directories, how such plugins would be inherited?
+    . always store them with directories also
+
+NIKTIA-FIXME-HANS: Do the line above.  It is not exclusive of doing
+the line below which is also useful.
+
+    . use inheritance hierarchy, independent of file-system namespace

+/*
+ * File plugin.  Defines the set of methods that file plugins implement, some
+ * of which are optional.
+ *
+ * A file plugin offers to the caller an interface for IO ( writing to and/or
+ * reading from) to what the caller sees as one sequence of bytes.  An IO to it
+ * may affect more than one physical sequence of bytes, or no physical sequence
+ * of bytes, it may affect sequences of bytes offered by other file plugins to
+ * the semantic layer, and the file plugin may invoke other plugins and
+ * delegate work to them, but its interface is structured for offering the
+ * caller the ability to read and/or write what the caller sees as being a
+ * single sequence of bytes.
+ *
+ * The file plugin must present a sequence of bytes to the caller, but it does
+ * not necessarily have to store a sequence of bytes, it does not necessarily
+ * have to support efficient tree traversal to any offset in the sequence of
+ * bytes (tail and extent items, whose keys contain offsets, do however provide
+ * efficient non-sequential lookup of any offset in the sequence of bytes).
+ *
+ * Directory plugins provide methods for selecting file plugins by resolving a
+ * name for them.
+ *
+ * The functionality other filesystems call an attribute, and rigidly tie
+ * together, we decompose into orthogonal selectable features of files.  Using
+ * the terminology we will define next, an attribute is a perhaps constrained,
+ * perhaps static length, file whose parent has a uni-count-intra-link to it,
+ * which might be grandparent-major-packed, and whose parent has a deletion
+ * method that deletes it.
+ *
+ * File plugins can implement constraints.
+ *
+ * Files can be of variable length (e.g. regular unix files), or of static
+ * length (e.g. static sized attributes).
+ *
+ * An object may have many sequences of bytes, and many file plugins, but, it
+ * has exactly one objectid.  It is usually desirable that an object has a
+ * deletion method which deletes every item with that objectid.  Items cannot
+ * in general be found by just their objectids.  This means that an object must
+ * have either a method built into its deletion plugin method for knowing what
+ * items need to be deleted, or links stored with the object that provide the
+ * plugin with a method for finding those items.  Deleting a file within an
+ * object may or may not have the effect of deleting the entire object,
+ * depending on the file plugin's deletion method.
+ *
+ * LINK TAXONOMY:
+ *
+ * Many objects have a reference count, and when the reference count reaches 0
+ * the object's deletion method is invoked.  Some links embody a reference
+ * count increase ("countlinks"), and others do not ("nocountlinks").
+ *
+ * Some links are bi-directional links ("bilinks"), and some are
+ * uni-directional("unilinks").
+ *
+ * Some links are between parts of the same object ("intralinks"), and some are
+ * between different objects ("interlinks").
+ *
+ * PACKING TAXONOMY:
+ *
+ * Some items of an object are stored with a major packing locality based on
+ * their object's objectid (e.g. unix directory items in plan A), and these are
+ * called "self-major-packed".
+ *
+ * Some items of an object are stored with a major packing locality based on
+ * their semantic parent object's objectid (e.g. unix file bodies in plan A),
+ * and these are called "parent-major-packed".
+ *
+ * Some items of an object are stored with a major packing locality based on
+ * their semantic grandparent, and these are called "grandparent-major-packed".
+ * Now carefully notice that we run into trouble with key length if we have to
+ * store a 8 byte major+minor grandparent based packing locality, an 8 byte
+ * parent objectid, an 8 byte attribute objectid, and an 8 byte offset, all in
+ * a 24 byte key.  One of these fields must be sacrificed if an item is to be
+ * grandparent-major-packed, and which to sacrifice is left to the item author
+ * choosing to make the item grandparent-major-packed.  You cannot make tail
+ * items and extent items grandparent-major-packed, though you could make them
+ * self-major-packed (usually they are parent-major-packed).
+ *
+ * In the case of ACLs (which are composed of fixed length ACEs which consist
+ * of {subject-type, subject, and permission bitmask} triples), it makes sense
+ * to not have an offset field in the ACE item key, and to allow duplicate keys
+ * for ACEs.  Thus, the set of ACES for a given file is found by looking for a
+ * key consisting of the objectid of the grandparent (thus grouping all ACLs in
+ * a directory together), the minor packing locality of ACE, the objectid of
+ * the file, and 0.
+ *
+ * IO involves moving data from one location to another, which means that two
+ * locations must be specified, source and destination.
+ *
+ * This source and destination can be in the filesystem, or they can be a
+ * pointer in the user process address space plus a byte count.
+ *
+ * If both source and destination are in the filesystem, then at least one of
+ * them must be representable as a pure stream of bytes (which we call a flow,
+ * and define as a struct containing a key, a data pointer, and a length).
+ * This may mean converting one of them into a flow.  We provide a generic
+ * cast_into_flow() method, which will work for any plugin supporting
+ * read_flow(), though it is inefficiently implemented in that it temporarily
+ * stores the flow in a buffer (Question: what to do with huge flows that
+ * cannot fit into memory?  Answer: we must not convert them all at once. )
+ *
+ * Performing a write requires resolving the write request into a flow defining
+ * the source, and a method that performs the write, and a key that defines
+ * where in the tree the write is to go.
+ *
+ * Performing a read requires resolving the read request into a flow defining
+ * the target, and a method that performs the read, and a key that defines
+ * where in the tree the read is to come from.
+ *
+ * There will exist file plugins which have no pluginid stored on the disk for
+ * them, and which are only invoked by other plugins.

+ * Each file in reiser4 is controlled by a whole set of plugins (file plugin,

+ * assigned (inherited, deduced from mode bits, etc.) at creation time. This
+ * set of plugins (so called pset) is described by structure plugin_set (see
+ * plugin/plugin_set.h), which contains pointers to all required plugins.
+ *
+ * Children can inherit some pset members from their parent, however sometimes
+ * it is useful to specify members different from parent ones. Since object's
+ * pset can not be easily changed without fatal consequences, we use for this
+ * purpose another special plugin table (so called hset, or heir set) described
+ * by the same structure.
+ *
+ * Inode only stores a pointers to pset and hset. Different inodes with the
+ * same set of pset (hset) members point to the same pset (hset). This is
+ * archived by storing psets and hsets in global hash table. Races are avoided
+ * by simple (and efficient so far) solution of never recycling psets, even
+ * when last inode pointing to it is destroyed.

+/* Proposed (but discarded) optimization: dynamic loading/unloading of bitmap
+ * blocks
+
+   A useful optimization of reiser4 bitmap handling would be dynamic bitmap
+   blocks loading/unloading which is different from v3.x where all bitmap
+   blocks are loaded at mount time.
+
+   To implement bitmap blocks unloading we need to count bitmap block usage
+   and detect currently unused blocks allowing them to be unloaded. It is not
+   a simple task since we allow several threads to modify one bitmap block
+   simultaneously.
+
+   Briefly speaking, the following schema is proposed: we count in special
+   variable associated with each bitmap block. That is for counting of block
+   alloc/dealloc operations on that bitmap block. With a deferred block
+   deallocation feature of reiser4 all those operation will be represented in
+   atom dirty/deleted lists as jnodes for freshly allocated or deleted
+   nodes.
+
+   So, we increment usage counter for each new node allocated or deleted, and
+   decrement it at atom commit one time for each node from the dirty/deleted
+   atom's list.  Of course, freshly allocated node deletion and node reusing
+   from atom deleted (if we do so) list should decrement bitmap usage counter
+   also.
+
+   This schema seems to be working but that reference counting is
+   not easy to debug. I think we should agree with Hans and do not implement
+   it in v4.0. Current code implements "on-demand" bitmap blocks loading only.
+
+   For simplicity all bitmap nodes (both commit and working bitmap blocks) are
+   loaded into memory on fs mount time or each bitmap nodes are loaded at the
+   first access to it, the "dont_load_bitmap" mount option controls whether
+   bimtap nodes should be loaded at mount time. Dynamic unloading of bitmap
+   nodes currently is not supported. */

+/* Fast pool allocation.
+
+   There are situations when some sub-system normally asks memory allocator
+   for only few objects, but under some circumstances could require much
+   more. Typical and actually motivating example is tree balancing. It needs
+   to keep track of nodes that were involved into it, and it is well-known
+   that in reasonable packed balanced tree most (92.938121%) percent of all
+   balancings end up after working with only few nodes (3.141592 on
+   average). But in rare cases balancing can involve much more nodes
+   (3*tree_height+1 in extremal situation).
+
+   On the one hand, we don't want to resort to dynamic allocation (slab,
+    malloc(), etc.) to allocate data structures required to keep track of
+   nodes during balancing. On the other hand, we cannot statically allocate
+   required amount of space on the stack, because first: it is useless wastage
+   of precious resource, and second: this amount is unknown in advance (tree
+   height can change).
+
+   Pools, implemented in this file are solution for this problem:
+
+    - some configurable amount of objects is statically preallocated on the
+    stack
+
+    - if this preallocated pool is exhausted and more objects is requested
+    they are allocated dynamically.
+
+   Pools encapsulate distinction between statically and dynamically allocated
+   objects. Both allocation and recycling look exactly the same.
+
+   To keep track of dynamically allocated objects, pool adds its own linkage
+   to each object.
+
+   NOTE-NIKITA This linkage also contains some balancing-specific data. This
+   is not perfect. On the other hand, balancing is currently the only client
+   of pool code.
+
+   NOTE-NIKITA Another desirable feature is to rewrite all pool manipulation
+   functions in the style of tslist/tshash, i.e., make them unreadable, but
+   type-safe.

+It will be a kindness if you identify whether Hans Reiser is allowed
+to license code labeled as owned by you on your behalf other than
+under the GPL, because he wants to know if it is okay to do so and put
+a check in the mail to you (for non-trivial improvements) when he

+[END LICENSING]
+
+Reiser4 is a file system based on dancing tree algorithms, and is
+described at http://www.namesys.com
+
+mkfs.reiser4 and other utilities are on our webpage or wherever your
+Linux provider put them.  You really want to be running the latest
+version off the website if you use fsck.
+
+Yes, if you update your reiser4 kernel module you do have to
+recompile your kernel, most of the time.  The errors you get will be
+quite cryptic if your forget to do so.
+
+Hideous Commercial Pitch: Spread your development costs across other OS
+vendors.  Select from the best in the world, not the best in your
+building, by buying from third party OS component suppliers.  Leverage
+the software component development power of the internet.  Be the most
+aggressive in taking advantage of the commercial possibilities of
+decentralized internet development, and add value through your branded
+integration that you sell as an operating system.  Let your competitors
+be the ones to compete against the entire internet by themselves.  Be
+hip, get with the new economic trend, before your competitors do.  Send
+email to reiser@namesys.com
+
+Hans Reiser was the primary architect of Reiser4, but a whole team
+chipped their ideas in.  He invested everything he had into Namesys
+for 5.5 dark years of no money before Reiser3 finally started to work well
+enough to bring in money.  He owns the copyright.
+
+DARPA was the primary sponsor of Reiser4.  DARPA does not endorse
+Reiser4, it merely sponsors it.  DARPA is, in solely Hans's personal
+opinion, unique in its willingness to invest into things more
+theoretical than the VC community can readily understand, and more
+longterm than allows them to be sure that they will be the ones to
+extract the economic benefits from.  DARPA also integrated us into a
+security community that transformed our security worldview.
+
+Vladimir Saveliev is our lead programmer, with us from the beginning,
+and he worked long hours writing the cleanest code.  This is why he is
+now the lead programmer after years of commitment to our work.  He
+always made the effort to be the best he could be, and to make his
+code the best that it could be.  What resulted was quite remarkable. I
+don't think that money can ever motivate someone to work the way he
+did, he is one of the most selfless men I know.
+
+Alexander Lyamin was our sysadmin, and helped to educate us in
+security issues.  Moscow State University and IMT were very generous
+in the internet access they provided us, and in lots of other little
+ways that a generous institution can be.
+
+Alexander Zarochentcev (sometimes known as zam, or sasha), wrote the
+locking code, the block allocator, and finished the flushing code.
+His code is always crystal clean and well structured.
+
+Nikita Danilov wrote the core of the balancing code, the core of the
+plugins code, and the directory code.  He worked a steady pace of long
+hours that produced a whole lot of well abstracted code.  He is our
+senior computer scientist.
+
+Vladimir Demidov wrote the parser.  Writing an in kernel parser is
+something very few persons have the skills for, and it is thanks to
+him that we can say that the parser is really not so big compared to
+various bits of our other code, and making a parser work in the kernel
+was not so complicated as everyone would imagine mainly because it was
+him doing it...
+
+Joshua McDonald wrote the transaction manager, and the flush code.
+The flush code unexpectedly turned out be extremely hairy for reasons
+you can read about on our web page, and he did a great job on an
+extremely difficult task.
+
+Nina Reiser handled our accounting, government relations, and much
+more.
+
+Ramon Reiser developed our website.
+
+Beverly Palmer drew our graphics.
+
+Vitaly Fertman developed librepair, userspace plugins repair code, fsck
+and worked with Umka on developing libreiser4 and userspace plugins.
+
+Yury Umanets (aka Umka) developed libreiser4, userspace plugins and
+userspace tools (reiser4progs).
+
+Oleg Drokin (aka Green) is the release manager who fixes everything.
+It is so nice to have someone like that on the team.  He (plus Chris
+and Jeff) make it possible for the entire rest of the Namesys team to
+focus on Reiser4, and he fixed a whole lot of Reiser4 bugs also.  It
+is just amazing to watch his talent for spotting bugs in action.
+
+Edward Shishkin wrote cryptcompress file plugin (which manages files
+built of encrypted and(or) compressed bodies) and other plugins related
+to transparent encryption and compression support.

+/* Safe-links. */
+
+/*
+ * Safe-links are used to maintain file system consistency during operations
+ * that spawns multiple transactions. For example:
+ *
+ *     1. Unlink. UNIX supports "open-but-unlinked" files, that is files
+ *     without user-visible names in the file system, but still opened by some
+ *     active process. What happens here is that unlink proper (i.e., removal
+ *     of the last file name) and file deletion (truncate of file body to zero
+ *     and deletion of stat-data, that happens when last file descriptor is
+ *     closed), may belong to different transactions T1 and T2. If a crash
+ *     happens after T1 commit, but before T2 commit, on-disk file system has
+ *     a file without name, that is, disk space leak.
+ *
+ *     2. Truncate. Truncate of large file may spawn multiple transactions. If
+ *     system crashes while truncate was in-progress, file is left partially
+ *     truncated, which violates "atomicity guarantees" of reiser4, viz. that
+ *     every system is atomic.
+ *
+ * Safe-links address both above cases. Basically, safe-link is a way post
+ * some operation to be executed during commit of some other transaction than
+ * current one. (Another way to look at the safe-link is to interpret it as a
+ * logical logging.)
+ *
+ * Specifically, at the beginning of unlink safe-link in inserted in the
+ * tree. This safe-link is normally removed by file deletion code (during
+ * transaction T2 in the above terms). Truncate also inserts safe-link that is
+ * normally removed when truncate operation is finished.
+ *
+ * This means, that in the case of "clean umount" there are no safe-links in
+ * the tree. If safe-links are observed during mount, it means that (a) system
+ * was terminated abnormally, and (b) safe-link correspond to the "pending"
+ * (i.e., not finished) operations that were in-progress during system
+ * termination. Each safe-link record enough information to complete
+ * corresponding operation, and mount simply "replays" them (hence, the
+ * analogy with the logical logging).
+ *
+ * Safe-links are implemented as blackbox items (see
+ * plugin/item/blackbox.[ch]).
+ *
+ * For the reference: ext3 also has similar mechanism, it's called "an orphan
+ * list" there.

+/* Seals implementation. */
+/* Seals are "weak" tree pointers. They are analogous to tree coords in
+   allowing to bypass tree traversal. But normal usage of coords implies that
+   node pointed to by coord is locked, whereas seals don't keep a lock (or
+   even a reference) to znode. In stead, each znode contains a version number,
+   increased on each znode modification. This version number is copied into a
+   seal when seal is created. Later, one can "validate" seal by calling
+   reiser4_seal_validate(). If znode is in cache and its version number is
+   still the same, seal is "pristine" and coord associated with it can be
+   re-used immediately.
+
+   If, on the other hand, znode is out of cache, or it is obviously different
+   one from the znode seal was initially attached to (for example, it is on
+   the different level, or is being removed from the tree), seal is
+   irreparably invalid ("burned") and tree traversal has to be repeated.
+
+   Otherwise, there is some hope, that while znode was modified (and seal was
+   "broken" as a result), key attached to the seal is still in the node. This
+   is checked by first comparing this key with delimiting keys of node and, if
+   key is ok, doing intra-node lookup.
+
+   Znode version is maintained in the following way:
+
+   there is reiser4_tree.znode_epoch counter. Whenever new znode is created,
+   znode_epoch is incremented and its new value is stored in ->version field
+   of new znode. Whenever znode is dirtied (which means it was probably
+   modified), znode_epoch is also incremented and its new value is stored in
+   znode->version. This is done so, because just incrementing znode->version
+   on each update is not enough: it may so happen, that znode get deleted, new
+   znode is allocated for the same disk block and gets the same version
+   counter, tricking seal code into false positive.

+ * Virtual Root (vroot) code.
+ *
+ *     For given file system object (e.g., regular file or directory) let's
+ *     define its "virtual root" as lowest in the tree (that is, furtherest
+ *     from the tree root) node such that all body items of said object are
+ *     located in a tree rooted at this node.
+ *
+ *     Once vroot of object is found all tree lookups for items within body of
+ *     this object ("object lookups") can be started from its vroot rather
+ *     than from real root. This has following advantages:
+ *
+ *         1. amount of nodes traversed during lookup (and, hence, amount of
+ *         key comparisons made) decreases, and
+ *
+ *         2. contention on tree root is decreased. This latter was actually
+ *         motivating reason behind vroot, because spin lock of root node,
+ *         which is taken when acquiring long-term lock on root node is the
+ *         hottest lock in the reiser4.
+ *
+ * How to find vroot.
+ *
+ *     When vroot of object F is not yet determined, all object lookups start
+ *     from the root of the tree. At each tree level during traversal we have
+ *     a node N such that a key we are looking for (which is the key inside
+ *     object's body) is located within N. In function handle_vroot() called
+ *     from cbk_level_lookup() we check whether N is possible vroot for
+ *     F. Check is trivial---if neither leftmost nor rightmost item of N
+ *     belongs to F (and we already have helpful ->owns_item() method of
+ *     object plugin for this), then N is possible vroot of F. This, of
+ *     course, relies on the assumption that each object occupies contiguous
+ *     range of keys in the tree.
+ *
+ *     Thus, traversing tree downward and checking each node as we go, we can
+ *     find lowest such node, which, by definition, is vroot.
+ *
+ * How to track vroot.
+ *
+ *     Nohow. If actual vroot changes, next object lookup will just restart
+ *     from the actual tree root, refreshing object's vroot along the way.

+/*
+ * KEYS IN A TREE.
+ *
+ * The tree consists of nodes located on the disk. Node in the tree is either
+ * formatted or unformatted. Formatted node is one that has structure
+ * understood by the tree balancing and traversal code. Formatted nodes are
+ * further classified into leaf and internal nodes. Latter distinctions is
+ * (almost) of only historical importance: general structure of leaves and
+ * internal nodes is the same in Reiser4. Unformatted nodes contain raw data
+ * that are part of bodies of ordinary files and attributes.
+ *
+ * Each node in the tree spawns some interval in the key space. Key ranges for
+ * all nodes in the tree are disjoint. Actually, this only holds in some weak
+ * sense, because of the non-unique keys: intersection of key ranges for
+ * different nodes is either empty, or consists of exactly one key.
+ *
+ * Formatted node consists of a sequence of items. Each item spawns some
+ * interval in key space. Key ranges for all items in a tree are disjoint,
+ * modulo non-unique keys again. Items within nodes are ordered in the key
+ * order of the smallest key in a item.
+ *
+ * Particular type of item can be further split into units. Unit is piece of
+ * item that can be cut from item and moved into another item of the same
+ * time. Units are used by balancing code to repack data during balancing.
+ *
+ * Unit can be further split into smaller entities (for example, extent unit
+ * represents several pages, and it is natural for extent code to operate on
+ * particular pages and even bytes within one unit), but this is of no
+ * relevance to the generic balancing and lookup code.
+ *
+ * Although item is said to "spawn" range or interval of keys, it is not
+ * necessary that item contains piece of data addressable by each and every
+ * key in this range. For example, compound directory item, consisting of
+ * units corresponding to directory entries and keyed by hashes of file names,
+ * looks more as having "discrete spectrum": only some disjoint keys inside
+ * range occupied by this item really address data.
+ *
+ * No than less, each item always has well-defined least (minimal) key, that
+ * is recorded in item header, stored in the node this item is in. Also, item
+ * plugin can optionally define method ->max_key_inside() returning maximal
+ * key that can _possibly_ be located within this item. This method is used
+ * (mainly) to determine when given piece of data should be merged into
+ * existing item, in stead of creating new one. Because of this, even though
+ * ->max_key_inside() can be larger that any key actually located in the item,
+ * intervals
+ *
+ * [ reiser4_min_key( item ), ->max_key_inside( item ) ]
+ *
+ * are still disjoint for all items within the _same_ node.
+ *
+ * In memory node is represented by znode. It plays several roles:
+ *
+ *  . something locks are taken on
+ *
+ *  . something tracked by transaction manager (this is going to change)
+ *
+ *  . something used to access node data
+ *
+ *  . something used to maintain tree structure in memory: sibling and
+ *  parental linkage.
+ *
+ *  . something used to organize nodes into "slums"
+ *
+ * More on znodes see in znode.[ch]
+ *
+ * DELIMITING KEYS
+ *
+ *   To simplify balancing, allow some flexibility in locking and speed up
+ *   important coord cache optimization, we keep delimiting keys of nodes in
+ *   memory. Depending on disk format (implemented by appropriate node plugin)
+ *   node on disk can record both left and right delimiting key, only one of
+ *   them, or none. Still, our balancing and tree traversal code keep both
+ *   delimiting keys for a node that is in memory stored in the znode. When
+ *   node is first brought into memory during tree traversal, its left
+ *   delimiting key is taken from its parent, and its right delimiting key is
+ *   either next key in its parent, or is right delimiting key of parent if
+ *   node is the rightmost child of parent.
+ *
+ *   Physical consistency of delimiting key is protected by special dk
+ *   read-write lock. That is, delimiting keys can only be inspected or
+ *   modified under this lock. But dk lock is only sufficient for fast
+ *   "pessimistic" check, because to simplify code and to decrease lock
+ *   contention, balancing (carry) only updates delimiting keys right before
+ *   unlocking all locked nodes on the given tree level. For example,
+ *   coord-by-key cache scans LRU list of recently accessed znodes. For each
+ *   node it first does fast check under dk spin lock. If key looked for is
+ *   not between delimiting keys for this node, next node is inspected and so
+ *   on. If key is inside of the key range, long term lock is taken on node
+ *   and key range is rechecked.
+ *
+ * COORDINATES
+ *
+ *   To find something in the tree, you supply a key, and the key is resolved
+ *   by coord_by_key() into a coord (coordinate) that is valid as long as the
+ *   node the coord points to remains locked.  As mentioned above trees
+ *   consist of nodes that consist of items that consist of units. A unit is
+ *   the smallest and indivisible piece of tree as far as balancing and tree
+ *   search are concerned. Each node, item, and unit can be addressed by
+ *   giving its level in the tree and the key occupied by this entity.  A node
+ *   knows what the key ranges are of the items within it, and how to find its
+ *   items and invoke their item handlers, but it does not know how to access
+ *   individual units within its items except through the item handlers.
+ *   coord is a structure containing a pointer to the node, the ordinal number
+ *   of the item within this node (a sort of item offset), and the ordinal
+ *   number of the unit within this item.
+ *
+ * TREE LOOKUP
+ *
+ *   There are two types of access to the tree: lookup and modification.
+ *
+ *   Lookup is a search for the key in the tree. Search can look for either
+ *   exactly the key given to it, or for the largest key that is not greater
+ *   than the key given to it. This distinction is determined by "bias"
+ *   parameter of search routine (coord_by_key()). coord_by_key() either
+ *   returns error (key is not in the tree, or some kind of external error
+ *   occurred), or successfully resolves key into coord.
+ *
+ *   This resolution is done by traversing tree top-to-bottom from root level
+ *   to the desired level. On levels above twig level (level one above the
+ *   leaf level) nodes consist exclusively of internal items. Internal item is
+ *   nothing more than pointer to the tree node on the child level. On twig
+ *   level nodes consist of internal items intermixed with extent
+ *   items. Internal items form normal search tree structure used by traversal
+ *   to descent through the tree.
+ *
+ * TREE LOOKUP OPTIMIZATIONS
+ *
+ * Tree lookup described above is expensive even if all nodes traversed are
+ * already in the memory: for each node binary search within it has to be
+ * performed and binary searches are CPU consuming and tend to destroy CPU
+ * caches.
+ *
+ * Several optimizations are used to work around this:
+ *
+ *   . cbk_cache (look-aside cache for tree traversals, see search.c for
+ *   details)
+ *
+ *   . seals (see seal.[ch])
+ *
+ *   . vroot (see search.c)
+ *
+ * General search-by-key is layered thusly:
+ *
+ *                   [check seal, if any]   --ok--> done
+ *                           |
+ *                         failed
+ *                           |
+ *                           V
+ *                     [vroot defined] --no--> node = tree_root
+ *                           |                   |
+ *                          yes                  |
+ *                           |                   |
+ *                           V                   |

+
+   cbk_cache is supposed to speed up tree lookups by caching results of recent

+   does). Cache consists of relatively small number of entries kept in a LRU
+   order. Each entry (&cbk_cache_slot) contains a pointer to znode, from
+   which we can obtain a range of keys that covered by this znode. Before
+   embarking into real tree traversal we scan cbk_cache slot by slot and for
+   each slot check whether key we are looking for is between minimal and
+   maximal keys for node pointed to by this slot. If no match is found, real
+   tree traversal is performed and if result is successful, appropriate entry
+   is inserted into cache, possibly pulling least recently used entry out of
+   it.
+
+   Tree spin lock is used to protect coord cache. If contention for this
+   lock proves to be too high, more finer grained locking can be added.

+
+/* Thoughts on the external transaction interface:
+
+   In the current code, a TRANSCRASH handle is created implicitly by reiser4_init_context() (which
+   creates state that lasts for the duration of a system call and is called at the start
+   of ReiserFS methods implementing VFS operations), and closed by reiser4_exit_context(),
+   occupying the scope of a single system call.  We wish to give certain applications an
+   interface to begin and close (commit) transactions.  Since our implementation of
+   transactions does not yet support isolation, allowing an application to open a
+   transaction implies trusting it to later close the transaction.  Part of the
+   transaction interface will be aimed at enabling that trust, but the interface for
+   actually using transactions is fairly narrow.
+
+   BEGIN_TRANSCRASH: Returns a transcrash identifier.  It should be possible to translate
+   this identifier into a string that a shell-script could use, allowing you to start a
+   transaction by issuing a command.  Once open, the transcrash should be set in the task
+   structure, and there should be options (I suppose) to allow it to be carried across
+   fork/exec.  A transcrash has several options:
+
+     - READ_FUSING or WRITE_FUSING: The default policy is for txn-capture to capture only
+     on writes (WRITE_FUSING) and allow "dirty reads".  If the application wishes to
+     capture on reads as well, it should set READ_FUSING.
+
+     - TIMEOUT: Since a non-isolated transcrash cannot be undone, every transcrash must
+     eventually close (or else the machine must crash).  If the application dies an
+     unexpected death with an open transcrash, for example, or if it hangs for a long
+     duration, one solution (to avoid crashing the machine) is to simply close it anyway.
+     This is a dangerous option, but it is one way to solve the problem until isolated
+     transcrashes are available for untrusted applications.
+
+     It seems to be what databases do, though it is unclear how one avoids a DoS attack
+     creating a vulnerability based on resource starvation.  Guaranteeing that some
+     minimum amount of computational resources are made available would seem more correct
+     than guaranteeing some amount of time.  When we again have someone to code the work,
+     this issue should be considered carefully.  -Hans
+
+   RESERVE_BLOCKS: A running transcrash should indicate to the transaction manager how
+   many dirty blocks it expects.  The reserve_blocks interface should be called at a point
+   where it is safe for the application to fail, because the system may not be able to
+   grant the allocation and the application must be able to back-out.  For this reason,
+   the number of reserve-blocks can also be passed as an argument to BEGIN_TRANSCRASH, but
+   the application may also wish to extend the allocation after beginning its transcrash.
+
+   CLOSE_TRANSCRASH: The application closes the transcrash when it is finished making
+   modifications that require transaction protection.  When isolated transactions are
+   supported the CLOSE operation is replaced by either COMMIT or ABORT.  For example, if a
+   RESERVE_BLOCKS call fails for the application, it should "abort" by calling
+   CLOSE_TRANSCRASH, even though it really commits any changes that were made (which is
+   why, for safety, the application should call RESERVE_BLOCKS before making any changes).
+
+   For actually implementing these out-of-system-call-scopped transcrashes, the
+   reiser4_context has a "txn_handle *trans" pointer that may be set to an open
+   transcrash.  Currently there are no dynamically-allocated transcrashes, but there is a
+   "struct kmem_cache *_txnh_slab" created for that purpose in this file.
+*/
+
+/* Extending the other system call interfaces for future transaction features:
+
+   Specialized applications may benefit from passing flags to the ordinary system call
+   interface such as read(), write(), or stat().  For example, the application specifies
+   WRITE_FUSING by default but wishes to add that a certain read() command should be
+   treated as READ_FUSING.  But which read?  Is it the directory-entry read, the stat-data
+   read, or the file-data read?  These issues are straight-forward, but there are a lot of
+   them and adding the necessary flags-passing code will be tedious.
+
+   When supporting isolated transactions, there is a corresponding READ_MODIFY_WRITE (RMW)
+   flag, which specifies that although it is a read operation being requested, a
+   write-lock should be taken.  The reason is that read-locks are shared while write-locks
+   are exclusive, so taking a read-lock when a later-write is known in advance will often
+   leads to deadlock.  If a reader knows it will write later, it should issue read
+   requests with the RMW flag set.

+/*
+   The znode/atom deadlock avoidance.
+
+   FIXME(Zam): writing of this comment is in progress.
+
+   The atom's special stage ASTAGE_CAPTURE_WAIT introduces a kind of atom's
+   long-term locking, which makes reiser4 locking scheme more complex.  It had
+   deadlocks until we implement deadlock avoidance algorithms.  That deadlocks
+   looked as the following: one stopped thread waits for a long-term lock on
+   znode, the thread who owns that lock waits when fusion with another atom will
+   be allowed.
+
+   The source of the deadlocks is an optimization of not capturing index nodes
+   for read.  Let's prove it.  Suppose we have dumb node capturing scheme which
+   unconditionally captures each block before locking it.
+
+   That scheme has no deadlocks.  Let's begin with the thread which stage is
+   ASTAGE_CAPTURE_WAIT and it waits for a znode lock.  The thread can't wait for
+   a capture because it's stage allows fusion with any atom except which are
+   being committed currently. A process of atom commit can't deadlock because
+   atom commit procedure does not acquire locks and does not fuse with other
+   atoms.  Reiser4 does capturing right before going to sleep inside the
+   longtertm_lock_znode() function, it means the znode which we want to lock is
+   already captured and its atom is in ASTAGE_CAPTURE_WAIT stage.  If we
+   continue the analysis we understand that no one process in the sequence may
+   waits atom fusion.  Thereby there are no deadlocks of described kind.
+
+   The capturing optimization makes the deadlocks possible.  A thread can wait a
+   lock which owner did not captured that node.  The lock owner's current atom
+   is not fused with the first atom and it does not get a ASTAGE_CAPTURE_WAIT
+   state. A deadlock is possible when that atom meets another one which is in
+   ASTAGE_CAPTURE_WAIT already.
+
+   The deadlock avoidance scheme includes two algorithms:
+
+   First algorithm is used when a thread captures a node which is locked but not
+   captured by another thread.  Those nodes are marked MISSED_IN_CAPTURE at the
+   moment we skip their capturing.  If such a node (marked MISSED_IN_CAPTURE) is
+   being captured by a thread with current atom is in ASTAGE_CAPTURE_WAIT, the
+   routine which forces all lock owners to join with current atom is executed.
+
+   Second algorithm does not allow to skip capturing of already captured nodes.
+
+   Both algorithms together prevent waiting a longterm lock without atom fusion
+   with atoms of all lock owners, which is a key thing for getting atom/znode
+   locking deadlocks.

+ * Transactions and mmap(2).
+ *
+ *     1. Transactions are not supported for accesses through mmap(2), because
+ *     this would effectively amount to user-level transactions whose duration
+ *     is beyond control of the kernel.
+ *
+ *     2. That said, we still want to preserve some decency with regard to
+ *     mmap(2). During normal write(2) call, following sequence of events
+ *     happens:
+ *
+ *         1. page is created;
+ *
+ *         2. jnode is created, dirtied and captured into current atom.
+ *
+ *         3. extent is inserted and modified.
+ *
+ *     Steps (2) and (3) take place under long term lock on the twig node.
+ *
+ *     When file is accessed through mmap(2) page is always created during
+ *     page fault.
+ *     After this (in reiser4_readpage()->reiser4_readpage_extent()):
+ *
+ *         1. if access is made to non-hole page new jnode is created, (if
+ *         necessary)
+ *
+ *         2. if access is made to the hole page, jnode is not created (XXX
+ *         not clear why).
+ *
+ *     Also, even if page is created by write page fault it is not marked
+ *     dirty immediately by handle_mm_fault(). Probably this is to avoid races
+ *     with page write-out.
+ *
+ *     Dirty bit installed by hardware is only transferred to the struct page
+ *     later, when page is unmapped (in zap_pte_range(), or
+ *     try_to_unmap_one()).
+ *
+ *     So, with mmap(2) we have to handle following irksome situations:
+ *
+ *         1. there exists modified page (clean or dirty) without jnode
+ *
+ *         2. there exists modified page (clean or dirty) with clean jnode
+ *
+ *         3. clean page which is a part of atom can be transparently modified
+ *         at any moment through mapping without becoming dirty.
+ *
+ *     (1) and (2) can lead to the out-of-memory situation: ->writepage()
+ *     doesn't know what to do with such pages and ->sync_sb()/->writepages()
+ *     don't see them, because these methods operate on atoms.
+ *
+ *     (3) can lead to the loss of data: suppose we have dirty page with dirty
+ *     captured jnode captured by some atom. As part of early flush (for
+ *     example) page was written out. Dirty bit was cleared on both page and
+ *     jnode. After this page is modified through mapping, but kernel doesn't
+ *     notice and just discards page and jnode as part of commit. (XXX
+ *     actually it doesn't, because to reclaim page ->releasepage() has to be
+ *     called and before this dirty bit will be transferred to the struct
+ *     page).

+   txn_capture mode does not include the TXN_CAPTURE_NONBLOCKING request flag.
+
+   This routine encodes the basic logic of block capturing described by:
+
+     http://namesys.com/v4/v4.html
+
+   Our goal here is to ensure that any two blocks that contain dependent modifications
+   should commit at the same time.  This function enforces this discipline by initiating
+   fusion whenever a transaction handle belonging to one atom requests to read or write a
+   block belonging to another atom (TXN_CAPTURE_WRITE or TXN_CAPTURE_READ_ATOMIC).
+
+   In addition, this routine handles the initial assignment of atoms to blocks and
+   transaction handles.  These are possible outcomes of this function:
+
+   1. The block and handle are already part of the same atom: return immediate success
+
+   2. The block is assigned but the handle is not: call capture_assign_txnh to assign
+      the handle to the block's atom.
+
+   3. The handle is assigned but the block is not: call capture_assign_block to assign
+      the block to the handle's atom.
+
+   4. Both handle and block are assigned, but to different atoms: call capture_init_fusion
+      to fuse atoms.
+
+   5. Neither block nor handle are assigned: create a new atom and assign them both.
+
+   6. A read request for a non-captured block: return immediate success.
+
+   This function acquires and releases the handle's spinlock.  This function is called
+   under the jnode lock and if the return value is 0, it returns with the jnode lock still
+   held.  If the return is -E_REPEAT or some other error condition, the jnode lock is
+   released.  The external interface (reiser4_try_capture) manages re-aquiring the jnode
+   lock in the failure case.

+
+                  A number of similar deadlock situations with locked but not
+                  captured nodes were found.  In each situation there are two
+                  or more threads: one of them does flushing while another one
+                  does routine balancing or tree lookup.  The flushing thread
+                  (F) sleeps in long term locking request for node (N), another
+                  thread (A) sleeps in trying to capture some node already
+                  belonging the atom F, F has a state which prevents
+                  immediately fusion .
+
+                  Deadlocks of this kind cannot happen if node N was properly
+                  captured by thread A. The F thread fuse atoms before locking
+                  therefore current atom of thread F and current atom of thread
+                  A became the same atom and thread A may proceed.  This does
+                  not work if node N was not captured because the fusion of
+                  atom does not happens.
+
+                  The following scheme solves the deadlock: If
+                  longterm_lock_znode locks and does not capture a znode, that
+                  znode is marked as MISSED_IN_CAPTURE.  A node marked this way
+                  is processed by the code below which restores the missed
+                  capture and fuses current atoms of all the node lock owners
+                  by calling the fuse_not_fused_lock_owners() function. */

+/* A note on lock ordering: the handle & jnode spinlock protects reading of their ->atom
+   fields, so typically an operation on the atom through either of these objects must (1)
+   lock the object, (2) read the atom pointer, (3) lock the atom.
+
+   During atom fusion, the process holds locks on both atoms at once.  Then, it iterates
+   through the list of handles and pages held by the smaller of the two atoms.  For each
+   handle and page referencing the smaller atom, the fusing process must: (1) lock the
+   object, and (2) update the atom pointer.
+
+   You can see that there is a conflict of lock ordering here, so the more-complex
+   procedure should have priority, i.e., the fusing process has priority so that it is
+   guaranteed to make progress and to avoid restarts.
+
+   This decision, however, means additional complexity for aquiring the atom lock in the
+   first place.
+
+   The general original procedure followed in the code was:
+
+       TXN_OBJECT *obj = ...;
+       TXN_ATOM   *atom;
+
+       spin_lock (& obj->_lock);
+
+       atom = obj->_atom;
+
+       if (! spin_trylock_atom (atom))
+         {
+           spin_unlock (& obj->_lock);
+           RESTART OPERATION, THERE WAS A RACE;
+         }
+
+       ELSE YOU HAVE BOTH ATOM AND OBJ LOCKED
+
+   It has however been found that this wastes CPU a lot in a manner that is
+   hard to profile. So, proper refcounting was added to atoms, and new
+   standard locking sequence is like following:
+
+       TXN_OBJECT *obj = ...;
+       TXN_ATOM   *atom;
+
+       spin_lock (& obj->_lock);
+
+       atom = obj->_atom;
+
+       if (! spin_trylock_atom (atom))
+         {
+           atomic_inc (& atom->refcount);
+           spin_unlock (& obj->_lock);
+           spin_lock (&atom->_lock);
+           atomic_dec (& atom->refcount);
+           // HERE atom is locked
+           spin_unlock (&atom->_lock);
+           RESTART OPERATION, THERE WAS A RACE;
+         }
+
+       ELSE YOU HAVE BOTH ATOM AND OBJ LOCKED
+
+   (core of this is implemented in trylock_throttle() function)
+
+   See the jnode_get_atom() function for a common case.
+
+   As an additional (and important) optimization allowing to avoid restarts,
+   it is possible to re-check required pre-conditions at the HERE point in
+   code above and proceed without restarting if they are still satisfied.

+
+/* Step 3: Use TYPE_SAFE_HASH_DEFINE to define the hash table interface using
+   the type and field name used in step 3.  The arguments are:
+
+   ITEM_TYPE    The item type being hashed
+   KEY_TYPE     The type of key being hashed
+   KEY_NAME     The name of the key field within the item
+   LINK_NAME    The name of the link field within the item, which you must make type PREFIX_hash_link)
+   HASH_FUNC    The name of the hash function (or macro, takes const pointer to key)
+   EQ_FUNC      The name of the equality function (or macro, takes const pointer to two keys)
+
+   It implements these functions:
+
+   prefix_hash_init           Initialize the table given its size.
+   prefix_hash_insert         Insert an item
+   prefix_hash_insert_index   Insert an item w/ precomputed hash_index
+   prefix_hash_find           Find an item by key
+   prefix_hash_find_index     Find an item w/ precomputed hash_index
+   prefix_hash_remove         Remove an item, returns 1 if found, 0 if not found
+   prefix_hash_remove_index   Remove an item w/ precomputed hash_index
+
+   If you'd like something to be done differently, feel free to ask me
+   for modifications.  Additional features that could be added but
+   have not been:
+
+   prefix_hash_remove_key           Find and remove an item by key
+   prefix_hash_remove_key_index     Find and remove an item by key w/ precomputed hash_index
+
+   The hash_function currently receives only the key as an argument,
+   meaning it must somehow know the number of buckets.  If this is a
+   problem let me know.
+
+   This hash table uses a single-linked hash chain.  This means
+   insertion is fast but deletion requires searching the chain.
+
+   There is also the doubly-linked hash chain approach, under which
+   deletion requires no search but the code is longer and it takes two
+   pointers per item.
+
+   The circularly-linked approach has the shortest code but requires
+   two pointers per bucket, doubling the size of the bucket array (in
+   addition to two pointers per item).

+/* You should read http://www.namesys.com/txn-doc.html
+
+   That describes how filesystem operations are performed as atomic
+   transactions, and how we try to arrange it so that we can write most of the
+   data only once while performing the operation atomically.
+
+   For the purposes of this code, it is enough for it to understand that it
+   has been told a given block should be written either once, or twice (if
+   twice then once to the wandered location and once to the real location).
+
+   This code guarantees that those blocks that are defined to be part of an
+   atom either all take effect or none of them take effect.
+
+   Relocate set nodes are submitted to write by the jnode_flush() routine, and
+   the overwrite set is submitted by reiser4_write_log().  This is because with
+   the overwrite set we seek to optimize writes, and with the relocate set we
+   seek to cause disk order to correlate with the parent first pre-order.
+
+   reiser4_write_log() allocates and writes wandered blocks and maintains
+   additional on-disk structures of the atom as wander records (each wander
+   record occupies one block) for storing of the "wandered map" (a table which
+   contains a relation between wandered and real block numbers) and other
+   information which might be needed at transaction recovery time.
+
+   The wander records are unidirectionally linked into a circle: each wander
+   record contains a block number of the next wander record, the last wander
+   record points to the first one.
+
+   One wander record (named "tx head" in this file) has a format which is
+   different from the other wander records. The "tx head" has a reference to the
+   "tx head" block of the previously committed atom.  Also, "tx head" contains
+   fs information (the free blocks counter, and the oid allocator state) which
+   is logged in a special way .
+
+   There are two journal control blocks, named journal header and journal
+   footer which have fixed on-disk locations.  The journal header has a
+   reference to the "tx head" block of the last committed atom.  The journal
+   footer points to the "tx head" of the last flushed atom.  The atom is
+   "played" when all blocks from its overwrite set are written to disk the
+   second time (i.e. written to their real locations).
+
+   NOTE: People who know reiserfs internals and its journal structure might be
+   confused with these terms journal footer and journal header. There is a table
+   with terms of similar semantics in reiserfs (reiser3) and reiser4:
+
+   REISER3 TERM        |  REISER4 TERM         | DESCRIPTION
+   --------------------+-----------------------+----------------------------
+   commit record       |  journal header       | atomic write of this record
+                       |                       | ends transaction commit

+                       |                       | ends post-commit writes.
+                       |                       | After successful
+                       |                       | writing of this journal

+                       |                       | wandered blocks/records are
+                       |                       | free for re-use.
+   --------------------+-----------------------+----------------------------
+
+   The atom commit process is the following:
+
+   1. The overwrite set is taken from atom's clean list, and its size is
+      counted.
+
+   2. The number of necessary wander records (including tx head) is calculated,
+      and the wander record blocks are allocated.
+
+   3. Allocate wandered blocks and populate wander records by wandered map.
+
+   4. submit write requests for wander records and wandered blocks.
+
+   5. wait until submitted write requests complete.
+
+   6. update journal header: change the pointer to the block number of just
+   written tx head, submit an i/o for modified journal header block and wait
+   for i/o completion.
+
+   NOTE: The special logging for bitmap blocks and some reiser4 super block
+   fields makes processes of atom commit, flush and recovering a bit more
+   complex (see comments in the source code for details).
+
+   The atom playing process is the following:
+
+   1. Write atom's overwrite set in-place.
+
+   2. Wait on i/o.
+
+   3. Update journal footer: change the pointer to block number of tx head
+   block of the atom we currently flushing, submit an i/o, wait on i/o
+   completion.
+
+   4. Free disk space which was used for wandered blocks and wander records.
+
+   After the freeing of wandered blocks and wander records we have that journal
+   footer points to the on-disk structure which might be overwritten soon.
+   Neither the log writer nor the journal recovery procedure use that pointer
+   for accessing the data.  When the journal recovery procedure finds the oldest
+   transaction it compares the journal footer pointer value with the "prev_tx"
+   pointer value in tx head, if values are equal the oldest not flushed
+   transaction is found.
+
+   NOTE on disk space leakage: the information about of what blocks and how many
+   blocks are allocated for wandered blocks, wandered records is not written to
+   the disk because of special logging for bitmaps and some super blocks
+   counters.  After a system crash we the reiser4 does not remember those
+   objects allocation, thus we have no such a kind of disk space leakage.
+*/
+
+/* Special logging of reiser4 super block fields. */
+
+/* There are some reiser4 super block fields (free block count and OID allocator
+   state (number of files and next free OID) which are logged separately from
+   super block to avoid unnecessary atom fusion.
+
+   So, the reiser4 super block can be not captured by a transaction with
+   allocates/deallocates disk blocks or create/delete file objects.  Moreover,
+   the reiser4 on-disk super block is not touched when such a transaction is
+   committed and flushed.  Those "counters logged specially" are logged in "tx
+   head" blocks and in the journal footer block.
+
+   A step-by-step description of special logging:
+
+   0. The per-atom information about deleted or created files and allocated or
+   freed blocks is collected during the transaction.  The atom's
+   ->nr_objects_created and ->nr_objects_deleted are for object
+   deletion/creation tracking, the numbers of allocated and freed blocks are
+   calculated using atom's delete set and atom's capture list -- all new and
+   relocated nodes should be on atom's clean list and should have JNODE_RELOC
+   bit set.
+
+   1. The "logged specially" reiser4 super block fields have their "committed"
+   versions in the reiser4 in-memory super block.  They get modified only at
+   atom commit time.  The atom's commit thread has an exclusive access to those
+   "committed" fields because the log writer implementation supports only one
+   atom commit a time (there is a per-fs "commit" mutex).  At
+   that time "committed" counters are modified using per-atom information
+   collected during the transaction. These counters are stored on disk as a
+   part of tx head block when atom is committed.
+
+   2. When the atom is flushed the value of the free block counter and the OID
+   allocator state get written to the journal footer block.  A special journal
+   procedure (journal_recover_sb_data()) takes those values from the journal
+   footer and updates the reiser4 in-memory super block.
+
+   NOTE: That means free block count and OID allocator state are logged
+   separately from the reiser4 super block regardless of the fact that the
+   reiser4 super block has fields to store both the free block counter and the
+   OID allocator.
+
+   Writing the whole super block at commit time requires knowing true values of
+   all its fields without changes made by not yet committed transactions. It is
+   possible by having their "committed" version of the super block like the
+   reiser4 bitmap blocks have "committed" and "working" versions.  However,
+   another scheme was implemented which stores special logged values in the
+   unused free space inside transaction head block.  In my opinion it has an
+   advantage of not writing whole super block when only part of it was
+   modified. */

+/* Znode manipulation functions. */
+/* Znode is the in-memory header for a tree node. It is stored
+   separately from the node itself so that it does not get written to
+   disk.  In this respect znode is like buffer head or page head. We
+   also use znodes for additional reiser4 specific purposes:
+
+    . they are organized into tree structure which is a part of whole
+      reiser4 tree.
+    . they are used to implement node grained locking
+    . they are used to keep additional state associated with a
+      node
+    . they contain links to lists used by the transaction manager
+
+   Znode is attached to some variable "block number" which is instance of
+   fs/reiser4/tree.h:reiser4_block_nr type. Znode can exist without
+   appropriate node being actually loaded in memory. Existence of znode itself
+   is regulated by reference count (->x_count) in it. Each time thread
+   acquires reference to znode through call to zget(), ->x_count is
+   incremented and decremented on call to zput().  Data (content of node) are
+   brought in memory through call to zload(), which also increments ->d_count
+   reference counter.  zload can block waiting on IO.  Call to zrelse()
+   decreases this counter. Also, ->c_count keeps track of number of child
+   znodes and prevents parent znode from being recycled until all of its
+   children are. ->c_count is decremented whenever child goes out of existence
+   (being actually recycled in zdestroy()) which can be some time after last
+   reference to this child dies if we support some form of LRU cache for
+   znodes.
+
+*/
+/* EVERY ZNODE'S STORY
+
+   1. His infancy.
+
+   Once upon a time, the znode was born deep inside of zget() by call to
+   zalloc(). At the return from zget() znode had:
+
+    . reference counter (x_count) of 1
+    . assigned block number, marked as used in bitmap
+    . pointer to parent znode. Root znode parent pointer points
+      to its father: "fake" znode. This, in turn, has NULL parent pointer.
+    . hash table linkage
+    . no data loaded from disk
+    . no node plugin
+    . no sibling linkage
+
+   2. His childhood
+
+   Each node is either brought into memory as a result of tree traversal, or
+   created afresh, creation of the root being a special case of the latter. In
+   either case it's inserted into sibling list. This will typically require
+   some ancillary tree traversing, but ultimately both sibling pointers will
+   exist and JNODE_LEFT_CONNECTED and JNODE_RIGHT_CONNECTED will be true in
+   zjnode.state.
+
+   3. His youth.
+
+   If znode is bound to already existing node in a tree, its content is read
+   from the disk by call to zload(). At that moment, JNODE_LOADED bit is set
+   in zjnode.state and zdata() function starts to return non null for this
+   znode. zload() further calls zparse() that determines which node layout
+   this node is rendered in, and sets ->nplug on success.
+
+   If znode is for new node just created, memory for it is allocated and
+   zinit_new() function is called to initialise data, according to selected
+   node layout.
+
+   4. His maturity.
+
+   After this point, znode lingers in memory for some time. Threads can
+   acquire references to znode either by blocknr through call to zget(), or by
+   following a pointer to unallocated znode from internal item. Each time
+   reference to znode is obtained, x_count is increased. Thread can read/write
+   lock znode. Znode data can be loaded through calls to zload(), d_count will
+   be increased appropriately. If all references to znode are released
+   (x_count drops to 0), znode is not recycled immediately. Rather, it is
+   still cached in the hash table in the hope that it will be accessed
+   shortly.
+
+   There are two ways in which znode existence can be terminated:
+
+    . sudden death: node bound to this znode is removed from the tree
+    . overpopulation: znode is purged out of memory due to memory pressure
+
+   5. His death.
+
+   Death is complex process.
+
+   When we irrevocably commit ourselves to decision to remove node from the
+   tree, JNODE_HEARD_BANSHEE bit is set in zjnode.state of corresponding
+   znode. This is done either in ->kill_hook() of internal item or in
+   reiser4_kill_root() function when tree root is removed.
+
+   At this moment znode still has:
+
+    . locks held on it, necessary write ones
+    . references to it
+    . disk block assigned to it
+    . data loaded from the disk
+    . pending requests for lock
+
+   But once JNODE_HEARD_BANSHEE bit set, last call to unlock_znode() does node
+   deletion. Node deletion includes two phases. First all ways to get
+   references to that znode (sibling and parent links and hash lookup using
+   block number stored in parent node) should be deleted -- it is done through
+   sibling_list_remove(), also we assume that nobody uses down link from
+   parent node due to its nonexistence or proper parent node locking and
+   nobody uses parent pointers from children due to absence of them. Second we
+   invalidate all pending lock requests which still are on znode's lock
+   request queue, this is done by reiser4_invalidate_lock(). Another
+   JNODE_IS_DYING znode status bit is used to invalidate pending lock requests.
+   Once it set all requesters are forced to return -EINVAL from
+   longterm_lock_znode(). Future locking attempts are not possible because all
+   ways to get references to that znode are removed already. Last, node is
+   uncaptured from transaction.
+
+   When last reference to the dying znode is just about to be released,
+   block number for this lock is released and znode is removed from the
+   hash table.
+
+   Now znode can be recycled.
+
+   [it's possible to free bitmap block and remove znode from the hash
+   table when last lock is released. This will result in having
+   referenced but completely orphaned znode]
+
+   6. Limbo
+
+   As have been mentioned above znodes with reference counter 0 are
+   still cached in a hash table. Once memory pressure increases they are
+   purged out of there [this requires something like LRU list for
+   efficient implementation. LRU list would also greatly simplify
+   implementation of coord cache that would in this case morph to just
+   scanning some initial segment of LRU list]. Data loaded into
+   unreferenced znode are flushed back to the durable storage if
+   necessary and memory is freed. Znodes themselves can be recycled at
+   this point too.
