[PATCH 7/7] nilfs2: free unused dat file blocks during garbage collection

From: Ryusuke Konishi
Date: Sat Sep 19 2015 - 06:38:58 EST


As a nilfs2 volume ages, the amount of available disk space
decreases little by little due to bloat of DAT (disk address
translation) metadata file. Even if we delete all files in a file
system and free their block addresses from the DAT file through a
garbage collection, empty DAT blocks are not freed.

This fixes the issue by extending the deallocator of block addresses
so that empty data blocks and empty bitmap blocks of DAT are deleted.

The following comparison shows the effect of this patch. Each shows
disk amount information of a nilfs2 volume that we cleaned out by
deleting all files and running gc after having filled 90% of its
capacity.

Before:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 500105212 3022844 472072192 1% /test

After:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 500105212 16380 475078656 1% /test
