PATCH: cramfs documentation & fixes

From: Peter Moulder (reiter@netspace.net.au)
Date: Tue Jan 11 2000 - 06:47:28 EST


In fs/cramfs/inode.c (cramfs_read), each buffer holds 4 blocks
(or however big PAGE_CACHE_SIZE is, always 1 page in 2.3.38; I'll use
the term "block").

buffer_blocknr array holds the block number of the first of these blocks
in the buffer.

However, when testing whether we have the requested block cached, we
only test whether blocknr matches the first blocknr in buffer i.
This means that we're wasting at least half the buffer: only the first
one-and-a-bit out of 4 of the PAGE_CACHE_SIZE chunks will ever be
used.

I've changed cramfs_read to take an argument saying how many bytes are
required (which is usually less than PAGE_CACHE_SIZE) and returning a
pointer to the existing buffer if it already has enough.

I also added a sanity check that the requested length is within the
buffer size. Handling of the check failing is somewhat suckful, but
it "never happens" if the machine behaves according to spec.

Lower down, in the copy loop, the !bh case is ignored, which can lead
to garbage being read (or rather the previous contents of the cache,
which could be even worse, security wise).

I added a memset for this case.

Also in that loop, blocknr is incremented, but never used again. Removed.

The validation on super.root.offset was wrong. mkcramfs always sets
this to either zero (for an empty filesystem) or sizeof(struct
cramfs_super)>>2. mkcramfs doesn't set super.size to anything
meaningful at all.

The statfs manpage says that fields that are undefined for a
particular filesystem are set to -1, so the memset in cramfs_statfs
should use 0xff. (Assumes 2's complement.)

i_ino is calculated as (diskinode->offset ? diskinode->offset << 2 :
1) (see CRAMINO in inode.c). Only symlinks, non-empty regular files
and non-empty directories have a non-zero value of diskinode->offset,
so we're breaking the promise that <st_dev, st_ino> uniquely identify
a file (particularly for non-regular files). I suggest that we use
inode->u.cram_i.offset to hold (diskinode->offset << 2), and store the
inode's own location (perhaps divided by 4 or 4+sizeof(struct
cramfs_inode)) in i_ino. This is enough to fulfil the promise made by
the stat man page (also required by Single Unix Spec).

I haven't implemented this, but it's just a matter of defining struct
cram_inode_info, inserting it into the union in <linux/fs.h>, and
changing the CRAMINO and OFFSET macros. get_cramfs_inode would also
need to be passed the inode's own offset for purposes of calculating
i_ino.

I added support for holes, since this is just a matter of inserting
the single line "if (compr_len)" into cramfs_readpage (and adding some
code to mkcramfs). By default, mkcramfs doesn't create holes, so as
to remain compatible with existing kernels.

Added a short makefile for mkcramfs, since it requires non-obvious
compile flags -lz and -I../../fs/cramfs.

Fix various potential memory problems in mkcramfs. (E.g. checking
malloc return value, freeing afterwards, fix buffer overrun.)

The mmap usage is still imperfect: it's very easy to get ENOMEM or
EMFILE. Why do we use MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS followed by write,
instead of MAP_SHARED and a couple of ftruncate calls? Is it just so
that outfile can be a block device? If so, maybe I'll make it try
MAP_SHARED first and fall back to the current scheme. (The change
would also require cleaning up outfile on errors.)

I added calculation of an upper bound on required fs size, which
is just to reduce the ENOMEM problem.

mkcramfs now warns user when we have to truncate something to fit
cramfs' limits.

Changed maximum filesystem size that mkcramfs will create from 64MB to
a bit over 256MB. I don't know whether the 64MB "limit" pertains to a
property of ROMs or whether it's a miscalculation from the fact that
diskinode->offset is 26 bits wide, but cramfs is useful not just for
ROMs. I've tested that >64MB cramfs filesystems can be mounted & used.

There are other problems that I haven't addressed; see the end of
fs/cramfs/README in this patch.

 You can't write to a cramfs filesystem (making it compressible and
 compact also makes it _very_ hard to update on-the-fly), so you have to
 create the disk image with the "mkcramfs" utility in scripts/cramfs.
+
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+File sizes are limited to less than 16MB.
+
+Maximum filesystem size is a little over 256MB. (The last file on the
+filesystem is allowed to extend past 256MB.) (Comments in mkcramfs.c
+suggest that ROM sizes may be limited to 64MB, though that's not a
+limitation in cramfs code.)
+
+Only the low 8 bits of gid are stored. The current version of
+mkcramfs simply truncates to 8 bits, which is a potential security
+issue.
+
+Hard links are not supported, but symlinks are. (See also the TODO
+comment in mkcramfs.c at the nlink test.)
+
+Cramfs directories have no `.' or `..' entries. Directories (like
+every other file on cramfs) always have a link count of 1. (There's
+no need to use -noleaf in `find', btw.)
+
+No timestamps are stored in a cramfs, so these default to the epoch
+(1970 GMT). Recently-accessed files may have updated timestamps, but
+the update lasts only as long as the inode is cached in memory, after
+which the timestamp reverts to 1970, i.e. moves backwards in time.
+
+Currently, cramfs must be written and read with architectures of the
+same endianness, and can be read only by kernels with PAGE_CACHE_SIZE
+== 4096. At least the latter of these is a bug, but it hasn't been
+decided what the best fix is. For the moment if you have larger pages
+you can just change the #define in mkcramfs.c, so long as you don't
+mind the filesystem becoming unreadable to future kernels.
+
+
+Hacker Notes
+------------
+
+See fs/cramfs/README for filesystem layout and implementation notes.

+Notes on Filesystem Layout
+--------------------------
+
+These notes describe what mkcramfs generates. Kernel requirements are
+a bit looser, e.g. it doesn't care if the <file_data> items are
+swapped around (though it does care that directory entries (inodes) in
+a given directory are contiguous, as this is used by readdir).
+
+All data is in host-endian format; neither mkcramfs nor the kernel
+ever do swabbing. (See section `Block Size' below.)
+
+<filesystem>:
+ <superblock>
+ <directory_structure>
+ <data>
+
+<superblock>: struct cramfs_super (see cramfs.h).
+
+<directory_structure>:
+ For each file:
+ struct cramfs_inode (see cramfs.h).
+ Filename. Not generally null-terminated, but it is
+ null-padded to a multiple of 4 bytes.
+
+The order of inode traversal is described as "width-first" (not to be
+confused with breadth-first); i.e. like depth-first but listing all of
+a directory's entries before recursing down its subdirectories: the
+same order as `ls -AUR' (but without the /^\..*:$/ directory header
+lines); put another way, the same order as `find -type d -exec
+ls -AU1 {} \;'.
+
+<data>:
+ One <file_data> for each file that's either a symlink or a
+ regular file of non-zero st_size.
+
+<file_data>:
+ nblocks * <block_pointer>
+ (where nblocks = (st_size - 1) / blksize + 1)
+ nblocks * <block>
+ padding to multiple of 4 bytes
+
+The i'th <block_pointer> for a file stores the byte offset of the
+*end* of the i'th <block> (i.e. one past the last byte, which is the
+same as the start of the (i+1)'th <block> if there is one). The first
+<block> immediately follows the last <block_pointer> for the file.
+<block_pointer>s are each 32 bits long.
+
+The order of <file_data>'s is a depth-first descent of the directory
+tree, i.e. the same order as `find -size +0 \( -type f -o -type l \)
+-print'.
+
+
+<block>: The i'th <block> is the output of zlib's compress function
+applied to the i'th blksize-sized chunk of the input data.
+(For the last <block> of the file, the input may of course be smaller.)
+Each <block> may be a different size. (See <block_pointer> above.)
+<block>s are merely byte-aligned, not generally u32-aligned.
+
+
+Holes
+-----
+
+This kernel supports cramfs holes (i.e. [efficient representation of]
+blocks in uncompressed data consisting entirely of NUL bytes), but by
+default mkcramfs doesn't test for & create holes, since cramfs in
+kernels up to at least 2.3.39 didn't support holes. Compile mkcramfs
+with -DDO_HOLES if you want it to create files that can have holes in
+them.
+
+
+Tools
+-----
+
+If you're hacking on cramfs, you might find useful some tools for
+testing cramfs at <http://cvs.bofh.asn.au/cramfs/>, including a
+rudimentary fsck for cramfs.
+
+
+Future Development
+==================
+
+Block Size
+----------
+
+(Block size in cramfs refers to the size of input data that is
+compressed at a time. It's intended to be somewhere around
+PAGE_CACHE_SIZE for cramfs_readpage's convenience.)
+
+The superblock ought to indicate the block size that the fs was
+written for, since comments in <linux/pagemap.h> indicate that
+PAGE_CACHE_SIZE may grow in future (if I interpret the comment
+correctly).
+
+Currently, mkcramfs #define's PAGE_CACHE_SIZE as 4096 and uses that
+for blksize, whereas Linux-2.3.39 uses its PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, which in
+turn is defined as PAGE_SIZE (which can be as large as 32KB on arm).
+This discrepancy is a bug, though it's not clear which should be
+changed.
+
+One option is to change mkcramfs to take its PAGE_CACHE_SIZE from
+<asm/page.h>. Personally I don't like this option, but it does
+require the least amount of change: just change `#define
+PAGE_CACHE_SIZE (4096)' to `#include <asm/page.h>'. The disadvantage
+is that the generated cramfs cannot always be shared between different
+kernels, not even necessarily kernels of the same architecture if
+PAGE_CACHE_SIZE is subject to change between kernel versions.
+
+
+The remaining options try to make cramfs more sharable.
+
+One part of that is addressing endianness. The two options here are
+`always use little-endian' (like ext2fs) or `writer chooses
+endianness; kernel adapts at runtime'. Little-endian wins because of
+code simplicity and little CPU overhead even on big-endian machines.
+
+The cost of swabbing is changing the code to use the le32_to_cpu
+etc. macros as used by ext2fs. We don't need to swab the compressed
+data, only the superblock, inodes and block pointers.
+
+
+The other part of making cramfs more sharable is choosing a block
+size. The options are:
+
+ 1. Always 4096 bytes.
+
+ 2. Writer chooses blocksize; kernel adapts but rejects blocksize >
+ PAGE_CACHE_SIZE.
+
+ 3. Writer chooses blocksize; kernel adapts even to blocksize >
+ PAGE_CACHE_SIZE.
+
+It's easy enough to change the kernel to use a smaller value than
+PAGE_CACHE_SIZE: just make cramfs_readpage read multiple blocks.
+
+The cost of option 1 is that kernels with a larger PAGE_CACHE_SIZE
+value don't get as good compression as they can.
+
+The cost of option 2 relative to option 1 is that the code uses
+variables instead of #define'd constants. The gain is that people
+with kernels having larger PAGE_CACHE_SIZE can make use of that if
+they don't mind their cramfs being inaccessible to kernels with
+smaller PAGE_CACHE_SIZE values.
+
+Option 3 is easy to implement if we don't mind being CPU-inefficient:
+e.g. get readpage to decompress to a buffer of size MAX_BLKSIZE (which
+must be no larger than 32KB) and discard what it doesn't need.
+Getting readpage to read into all the covered pages is harder.
+
+The main advantage of option 3 over 1, 2, is better compression. The
+cost is greater complexity. Probably not worth it, but I hope someone
+will disagree. (If it is implemented, then I'll re-use that code in
+e2compr.)
+
+
+Another cost of 2 and 3 over 1 is making mkcramfs use a different
+block size, but that just means adding and parsing a -b option.
+
+
+Inode Size
+----------
+
+Given that cramfs will probably be used for CDs etc. as well as just
+silicon ROMs, it might make sense to expand the inode a little from
+its current 12 bytes. Inodes other than the root inode are followed
+by filename, so the expansion doesn't even have to be a multiple of 4
+bytes.
