nvt-se 8e52b1bcfd made the documentation more clear. 2009-05-04 22:29:48 +00:00
nvt-se 17fa2f1618 make sure that page isolation is called after erasing a sector in reluctant GC.
simplified the GC logic a bit.
2009-04-29 13:15:59 +00:00
nvt-se 3f205a1413 reluctant gc will now wait until the sector has no free pages
before erasing the sector.
2009-04-13 22:26:31 +00:00
nvt-se 4507891ed5 made gc on removal configurable since it decreases wear levelling.
cleaned up some code.
2009-04-02 14:20:04 +00:00
nvt-se 1425537a13 Introduced two garbage collection mode: greedy and reluctant.
The greedy GC mode attempts to erase as many sectors as possible, and
it is therefore a slow operation, since the flash driver must wait
for about a second after erasing one sector. The former behavior was
to always do a greedy GC if file reservations fails due to lack of space.

The new reluctant GC stops after erasing one sector, and therefore
we often do not have to wait if there is no file system operation
in the time while the sector is being erased. We call the garbage collector
using this mode when removing a file that is not a micro log file, since
the remove function is called recursively for micro log files that are
erased because the corresponding ordinary file is erased.

This change increases the coffee test (examples/sky/test-coffee.c) speed
from 9 to 5 seconds.

2009-03-26 12:36:10 +00:00
nvt-se bffbb06d4a corrected GC page isolation loop.
adjusted cfs_coffee_reserve signature to use cfs_offset_t instead of uint32_t.

2009-03-20 15:15:43 +00:00
nvt-se b7bdfe8daf bugfixes:
* set invalid page on all removed files which have cache entries.

2009-03-19 20:44:43 +00:00
oliverschmidt 545c0c506e Switched cfs offset type to signed int to allow backward movements with cfs_seek. 2009-03-01 12:28:39 +00:00
nvt-se 47d70f2ae3 Switched name to CFS_CONF_OFFSET_TYPE to emphasize that it is a configurable option. 2009-03-01 12:00:00 +00:00
nvt-se 63b89a67fe * cfs_opendir in Coffee now accepts any name.
* refer to the documentation of each whence parameter. Old documentation didn't   consider negative movements either.
2009-02-28 13:40:25 +00:00
oliverschmidt 938f151a66 Allow to override the whence macros individually - just like the open flags. 2009-02-28 11:39:02 +00:00

nvt-se 90e8016906 file end check must be against fdp->offset. 2009-02-27 14:35:12 +00:00
nvt-se 3191a2568c Major API change:
1. Introduced a cfs_offset_t type that designates file offsets. unsigned int
was insufficient on several platforms with non-volatile storage that exceed
the capacity of unsigned int.

2. Switched cfs_seek signature to POSIX style with a "whence" parameter.

count all space before.

style: renamed and simplified some code and names.
2009-02-14 19:09:17 +00:00

pointer.
2009-02-09 12:02:10 +00:00
fros4943 4f7f3c97b5 * added coffee_files to the protected memory needed during cfs-based checkpointing operations
* renamed cfs_coffee_get_fd_set() to cfs_coffee_get_protected_memory() to highlight that not only fd_set is protected
2009-02-09 10:08:26 +00:00
nvt-se d0a546b049 A long refactoring session yielded the following.
Technical changes:

* Factored out file specific information from the file descriptor
  structure into a new file structure.

  - Useful file metadata can be stored after the file is closed.
  - File descriptors become much smaller.
  - Significantly reduces the need to scan for the file end.

* Use correct types in all function signatures.
* Removed the directory cache.

Results:

* Enormous speed increase when opening cached files (10x-20x.)
* Multiple fd:s pointing to the same file have the correct semantics.
* About 100 bytes smaller ROM size.
* Slightly smaller static RAM size.
