What about F2FS performance? Could you share benchmarking results of the new file system? It is very interesting the case of aged file system. How is GC's implementation efficient? Could you share benchmarking results for the very aged file system state? With the best regards, Vyacheslav Dubeyko. > Patch set > ========= > > The patch #1 adds a document to Documentation/filesystems/. > The patch #2 adds a header file of on-disk layout to include/linux/. > The patches #3-#15 adds f2fs source files to fs/f2fs/. > The Last patch, patch #16, updates Makefile and Kconfig. > > mkfs.f2fs > ========= > > The file system formatting tool, "mkfs.f2fs", is available from the following > download page: > http://sourceforge.net/projects/f2fs-tools/ > > > Usage > ===== > > If you'd like to experience f2fs, simply: > # mkfs.f2fs /dev/sdb1 > # mount -t f2fs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/f2fs > > Short log > ========= > > Jaegeuk Kim (16): > f2fs: add document > f2fs: add on-disk layout > f2fs: add superblock and major in-memory structure > f2fs: add super block operations > f2fs: add checkpoint operations > f2fs: add node operations > f2fs: add segment operations > f2fs: add file operations > f2fs: add address space operations for data > f2fs: add core inode operations > f2fs: add inode operations for special inodes > f2fs: add core directory operations > f2fs: add xattr and acl functionalities > f2fs: add garbage collection functions > f2fs: add recovery routines for roll-forward > f2fs: update Kconfig and Makefile > > Documentation/filesystems/00-INDEX | 2 + > Documentation/filesystems/f2fs.txt | 314 +++++++ > fs/Kconfig | 1 + > fs/Makefile | 1 + > fs/f2fs/Kconfig | 55 ++ > fs/f2fs/Makefile | 6 + > fs/f2fs/acl.c | 402 ++++++++ > fs/f2fs/acl.h | 57 ++ > fs/f2fs/checkpoint.c | 791 ++++++++++++++++ > fs/f2fs/data.c | 700 ++++++++++++++ > fs/f2fs/dir.c | 657 +++++++++++++ > fs/f2fs/f2fs.h | 981 ++++++++++++++++++++ > fs/f2fs/file.c | 643 +++++++++++++ > fs/f2fs/gc.c | 1140 +++++++++++++++++++++++ > fs/f2fs/gc.h | 203 +++++ > fs/f2fs/hash.c | 98 ++ > fs/f2fs/inode.c | 258 ++++++ > fs/f2fs/namei.c | 549 +++++++++++ > fs/f2fs/node.c | 1773 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > fs/f2fs/node.h | 331 +++++++ > fs/f2fs/recovery.c | 372 ++++++++ > fs/f2fs/segment.c | 1755 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > fs/f2fs/segment.h | 627 +++++++++++++ > fs/f2fs/super.c | 550 +++++++++++ > fs/f2fs/xattr.c | 387 ++++++++ > fs/f2fs/xattr.h | 142 +++ > include/linux/f2fs_fs.h | 359 ++++++++ > 27 files changed, 13154 insertions(+) > create mode 100644 Documentation/filesystems/f2fs.txt > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/Kconfig > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/Makefile > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/acl.c > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/acl.h > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/checkpoint.c > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/data.c > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/dir.c > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/f2fs.h > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/file.c > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/gc.c > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/gc.h > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/hash.c > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/inode.c > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/namei.c > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/node.c > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/node.h > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/recovery.c > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/segment.c > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/segment.h > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/super.c > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/xattr.c > create mode 100644 fs/f2fs/xattr.h > create mode 100644 include/linux/f2fs_fs.h > > -- > 1.7.9.5 > > > > > --- > Jaegeuk Kim > Samsung > > > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in > the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at > http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > > Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
