3 | - disable compression in commit_write()? | |
4 | - fine-tune the allocation / GC thresholds | |
5 | - chattr support - turning on/off and tuning compression per-inode | |
6 | - checkpointing (do we need this? scan is quite fast) | |
7 | - make the scan code populate real inodes so read_inode just after | |
8 | mount doesn't have to read the flash twice for large files. | |
9 | Make this a per-inode option, changable with chattr, so you can | |
10 | decide which inodes should be in-core immediately after mount. | |
11 | - test, test, test | |
12 | ||
13 | - NAND flash support: | |
14 | - flush_wbuf using GC to fill it, don't just pad. | |
15 | - Deal with write errors. Data don't get lost - we just have to write | |
16 | the affected node(s) out again somewhere else. | |
17 | - make fsync flush only if actually required | |
18 | - make sys_sync() work. | |
19 | - reboot notifier | |
20 | - timed flush of old wbuf | |
21 | - fix magical second arg of jffs2_flush_wbuf(). Split into two or more functions instead. | |

24 | - Optimisations: | |
25 | - Stop GC from decompressing and immediately recompressing nodes which could | |
26 | just be copied intact. (We now keep track of REF_PRISTINE flag. Easy now.) | |
27 | - Furthermore, in the case where it could be copied intact we don't even need | |
28 | to call iget() for it -- if we use (raw_node_raw->flash_offset & 2) as a flag | |
29 | to show a node can be copied intact and it's _not_ in icache, we could just do | |
30 | it, fix up the next_in_ino list and move on. We would need a way to find out | |
31 | _whether_ it's in icache though -- if it's in icache we also need to do the | |
32 | fragment lists, etc. P'raps a flag or pointer in the jffs2_inode_cache could | |
33 | help. (We have half of this now.) | |
34 | - Stop keeping name in-core with struct jffs2_full_dirent. If we keep the hash in | |
35 | the full dirent, we only need to go to the flash in lookup() when we think we've | |
36 | got a match, and in readdir(). | |
37 | - Doubly-linked next_in_ino list to allow us to free obsoleted raw_node_refs immediately? | |
38 | - Remove totlen from jffs2_raw_node_ref? Need to have totlen passed into | |
39 | jffs2_mark_node_obsolete(). Can all callers work it out? | |
40 | - Remove size from jffs2_raw_node_frag. |
