Added caching with managed caches at the file level This adds a fully independent layer between the rest of the filesystem and the block device. This requires some additionally logic around cache invalidation and flushing, but removes the need for any higher layer to consider read/write sizes less than what is supported by the hardware. Additionally, these caches can be used for possible speed improvements. This is left up to the user to optimize for their use cases. For very limited embedded systems with byte-level read/writes, the caches could be omitted completely, or they could even be the size of a full block for minimizing storage access. (A full block may not be the best for speed, consider if only a small portion of the read block is used, but I'll leave that evaluation as an exercise for any consumers of this library)

Adopted more conventional buffer parameter ordering Adopted buffer followed by size. The other order was original chosen due to some other functions with a more complicated parameter list. This convention is important, as the bd api is one of the main apis facing porting efforts.

Added optional block-level caching This adds caching of the most recent read/program blocks, allowing support of devices that don't have byte-level read+writes, along with reduced device access on devices that do support byte-level read+writes. Note: The current implementation is a bit eager to drop caches where it simplifies the cache layer. This layer is already complex enough. Note: It may be worthwhile to add a compile switch for caching to reduce code size, note sure. Note: This does add a dependency on malloc, which could have a porting layer, but I'm just using the functions from stdlib for now. These can be overwritten with noops if the user controls the system, and keeps things simple for now.

Shoehorned in hacky implementation of inline files Proof-of-concept implementation of inline files that stores the file's content directly in its parent's directory pair. Inline files are indicated by a different type stored in an entry's struct field, and take advantage of resizable entries. Where a normal file's entry would normally hold the reference to the CTZ skip-list, an inline file's entry contains the contents of the actual file. Unfortunately, storing the inline file on disk is the easy part. We also need to manage inline files in the internals of littlefs and provide the same operations that we do on normal files, all while reusing as much code as possible to avoid a significant increase in code cost. There is a relatively simple, though maybe a bit hacky, solution here. If a file fits entirely in a cache line, the file logic never actually has to go to disk. This means we can just give the file a "pretend" block (hopefully one that would assert if ever written to), and carry out file operations as normal, as long as we catch the file before it exceeds the cache line and write out the file to an actual disk.

Added internal check of data written to disk Before, the littlefs relied on the underlying block device to report corruption that occurs when writing data to disk. This requirement is easy to miss or implement incorrectly, since the error detection is only required when a block becomes corrupted, which is very unlikely to happen until late in the block device's lifetime. The littlefs can detect corruption itself by reading back written data. This requires a bit of care to reuse the available buffers, and may rely on checksums to avoid additional RAM requirements. This does have a runtime penalty with the extra read operations, but should make the littlefs much more robust to different implementations.

LFS_ASSERT(block != 0xffffffff);
Added internal lfs_dir_set, an umbrella to dir append/update/remove operations This move was surprisingly complex, but offers the ultimate opportunity for code reuse in terms of resizable entries. Instead of needing to provide separate functions for adding and removing entries, adding and removing entries can just be viewed as changing an entry's size to-and-from zero. Unfortunately, it's not _quite_ that simple, since append and remove hide some relatively complex operations for when directory blocks overflow or need to be cleaned up. However, with enough shoehorning, and a new committer type that allows specifying recursive commit lists (is this now a push-down automata?), it does seem to be possible to shove all of the entry update logic into a single function. Sidenote, I switched back to an enum-based DSL, since the addition of a recursive region opcode breaks the consistency of what needs to be passed to the DSL callback functions. It's much simpler to handle each opcode explicitly inside a recursive lfs_commit_region function.

Added caching with managed caches at the file level This adds a fully independent layer between the rest of the filesystem and the block device. This requires some additionally logic around cache invalidation and flushing, but removes the need for any higher layer to consider read/write sizes less than what is supported by the hardware. Additionally, these caches can be used for possible speed improvements. This is left up to the user to optimize for their use cases. For very limited embedded systems with byte-level read/writes, the caches could be omitted completely, or they could even be the size of a full block for minimizing storage access. (A full block may not be the best for speed, consider if only a small portion of the read block is used, but I'll leave that evaluation as an exercise for any consumers of this library)

Added optional block-level caching This adds caching of the most recent read/program blocks, allowing support of devices that don't have byte-level read+writes, along with reduced device access on devices that do support byte-level read+writes. Note: The current implementation is a bit eager to drop caches where it simplifies the cache layer. This layer is already complex enough. Note: It may be worthwhile to add a compile switch for caching to reduce code size, note sure. Note: This does add a dependency on malloc, which could have a porting layer, but I'm just using the functions from stdlib for now. These can be overwritten with noops if the user controls the system, and keeps things simple for now.

Added internal check of data written to disk Before, the littlefs relied on the underlying block device to report corruption that occurs when writing data to disk. This requirement is easy to miss or implement incorrectly, since the error detection is only required when a block becomes corrupted, which is very unlikely to happen until late in the block device's lifetime. The littlefs can detect corruption itself by reading back written data. This requires a bit of care to reuse the available buffers, and may rely on checksums to avoid additional RAM requirements. This does have a runtime penalty with the extra read operations, but should make the littlefs much more robust to different implementations.

Added more configurable utils Note: It's still expected to modify lfs_utils.h when porting littlefs to a new target/system. There's just too much room for system-specific improvements, such as taking advantage of CRC hardware. Rather, encouraging modification of lfs_util.h and making it easy to modify and debug should result in better integration with the consuming systems. This just adds a bunch of quality-of-life improvements that should help development and integration in littlefs. - Macros that require no side-effects are all-caps - System includes are only brought in when needed - Malloc/free wrappers - LFS_NO_* checks for quickly disabling things at the command line - At least a little-bit more docs

Shoehorned in hacky implementation of inline files Proof-of-concept implementation of inline files that stores the file's content directly in its parent's directory pair. Inline files are indicated by a different type stored in an entry's struct field, and take advantage of resizable entries. Where a normal file's entry would normally hold the reference to the CTZ skip-list, an inline file's entry contains the contents of the actual file. Unfortunately, storing the inline file on disk is the easy part. We also need to manage inline files in the internals of littlefs and provide the same operations that we do on normal files, all while reusing as much code as possible to avoid a significant increase in code cost. There is a relatively simple, though maybe a bit hacky, solution here. If a file fits entirely in a cache line, the file logic never actually has to go to disk. This means we can just give the file a "pretend" block (hopefully one that would assert if ever written to), and carry out file operations as normal, as long as we catch the file before it exceeds the cache line and write out the file to an actual disk.

Added rudimentary framework for journaling metadata pairs This is a big change stemming from the fact that resizable entries were surprisingly complicated to implement and came in with a sizable code cost. The theory is that the journalling has a comparable cost to resizable entries. Both need to handle overflowing blocks, and managing offsets is comparable to managing attribute IDs. But by jumping all the way to full journaling, we can statically wear-level the metadata written to metadata pairs. The idea of journaling littlefs's metadata has been mentioned several times in discussions and fits well into how littlefs works. You could even view the existing metadata log as a log of size 2. The downside of this approach is that changing the metadata in this way would break compatibility from the existing layout on disk. Something that resizable entries does not do. That being said, adopting journaling at the metadata layer offers a big improvement to littlefs's performance and wear-leveling, with very little cost (maybe even none or negative after resizable entries?).

Simplified config Before, the lfs had multiple paths to determine config options: - lfs_config struct passed during initialization - lfs_bd_info struct passed during block device initialization - compile time options This allowed different developers to provide their own needs to the filesystem, such as the block device capabilities and the higher level user's own tweaks. However, this comes with additional complexity and action required when the configurations are incompatible. For now, this has been reduced to all information (including block device function pointers) being passed through the lfs_config struct. We just defer more complicated handling of configuration options to the top level user. This simplifies configuration handling and gives the top level user the responsibility to handle configuration, which they probably would have wanted to do anyways.

Fixed dirty rcache during directory commit An interesting side-effect of adding internal checks to the littlefs for block errors, is that the littlefs starts to cover up its own flaws. Probably out of embarrassment. In this case, the relocation logic for directories left the littlefs rcache dirty with invalid data. The littlefs detected the error, treated it as a corrupted write, and just moved the "corrupted" block to a new block, which as a side-effect flushes the rcache. Since committing a dir will end up flushing the rcache to check for errors anyways, we can just drop the rcache in lfs_bd_sync.

The littlefs can detect corruption itself by reading back written data. This requires a bit of care to reuse the available buffers, and may rely on checksums to avoid additional RAM requirements. This does have a runtime penalty with the extra read operations, but should make the littlefs much more robust to different implementations.

int err = lfs_cache_flush(lfs, &lfs->pcache, NULL);
Added optional block-level caching This adds caching of the most recent read/program blocks, allowing support of devices that don't have byte-level read+writes, along with reduced device access on devices that do support byte-level read+writes. Note: The current implementation is a bit eager to drop caches where it simplifies the cache layer. This layer is already complex enough. Note: It may be worthwhile to add a compile switch for caching to reduce code size, note sure. Note: This does add a dependency on malloc, which could have a porting layer, but I'm just using the functions from stdlib for now. These can be overwritten with noops if the user controls the system, and keeps things simple for now.

Simplified config Before, the lfs had multiple paths to determine config options: - lfs_config struct passed during initialization - lfs_bd_info struct passed during block device initialization - compile time options This allowed different developers to provide their own needs to the filesystem, such as the block device capabilities and the higher level user's own tweaks. However, this comes with additional complexity and action required when the configurations are incompatible. For now, this has been reduced to all information (including block device function pointers) being passed through the lfs_config struct. We just defer more complicated handling of configuration options to the top level user. This simplifies configuration handling and gives the top level user the responsibility to handle configuration, which they probably would have wanted to do anyways.

Changed internal functions to return tags over pointers One neat (if gimmicky) trick, is that each tag has a valid bit in the highest bit position of the 32-bit word. This is used to determine when to stop a fetch operation, but after fetch, the bit is free to use in the driver. This means we can create a typed-union of sorts with error codes and tags, returning both as the return value from a function. Say what you will about this trick, it does have a significant impact on code size. I suspect this is primarily due to the compiler having a hard time optimizing around pointer access.

Switched back to simple deorphan-step on directory remove Originally I tried to reuse the indirect delete to accomplish truely atomic directory removes, however this fell apart when it came to implementing directory removes as a side-effect of renames. A single indirect-delete simply can't handle renames with removes as a side effects. When copying an entry to its destination, we need to atomically delete both the old entry, and the source of our copy. We can't delete both with only a single indirect-delete. It is possible to accomplish this with two indirect-deletes, but this is such an uncommon case that it's really not worth supporting efficiently due to how expensive globals are. I also dropped indirect-deletes for normal directory removes. I may add it back later, but at the moment it's extra code cost for that's not traveled very often. As a result, restructured the indirect delete handling to be a bit more generic, now with a multipurpose lfs_globals_t struct instead of the delete specific lfs_entry_t struct. Also worked on integrating xored-globals, now with several primitive global operations to manage fetching/updating globals on disk.

Fixed issue with negative modulo with unaligned lookaheads When the lookahead buffer wraps around in an unaligned filesystem, it's possible for blocks at the beginning of the disk to have a negative distance from the lookahead, but still reside in the lookahead buffer.

Fix incorrect lookahead population before ack Rather than tracking all in-flight blocks blocks during a lookahead, littlefs uses an ack scheme to mark the first allocated block that hasn't reached the disk yet. littlefs assumes all blocks since the last ack are bad or in-flight, and uses this to know when it's out of storage. However, these unacked allocations were still being populated in the lookahead buffer. If the whole block device fits in the lookahead buffer, _and_ littlefs managed to scan around the whole storage while an unacked block was still in-flight, it would assume the block was free and misallocate it. The fix is to only fill the lookahead buffer up to the last ack. The internal free structure was restructured to simplify the runtime calculation of lookahead size.

The solution was to simply thread all directory blocks onto a massive linked-list that spans the entire filesystem. With the linked-list it was easy to create a traverse function for all blocks in use on the filesystem (which has potential for other utility), and add the rudimentary block allocator using a bit-vector. While the linked-list may add complexity (especially where needing to maintain atomic operations), the linked-list helps simplify what is currently the most expensive operation in the filesystem, with no cost to space (the linked-list can reuse the pointers used for chained directory blocks).

Fixed issue with lookahead trusting old lookahead blocks One of the big simplifications in littlefs's implementation is the complete lack of tracking free blocks, allowing operations to simply drop blocks that are no longer in use. However, this means the lookahead buffer can easily contain outdated blocks that were previously deleted. This is usually fine, as littlefs will rescan the storage if it can't find a free block in the lookahead buffer, but after changes that caused littlefs to more conservatively respect the alloc acks (e611cf5), any scanned blocks after an ack would be incorrectly trusted. The fix is to eagerly scan ahead in the lookahead when we allocate so that alloc acks are better able to discredit old lookahead blocks. Since usually alloc acks are tightly coupled to allocations of one or two blocks, this allows littlefs to properly rescan every set of allocations. This may still be a concern if there is a long series of worn out blocks, but in the worst case littlefs will conservatively avoid using blocks it's not sure about. Found by davidefer

Fixed issue with aggressively rounding down lookahead configuration The littlefs allows buffers to be passed statically in the case that a system does not have a heap. Unfortunately, this means we can't round up in the case of an unaligned lookahead buffer. Double unfortunately, rounding down after clamping to the block device size could result in a lookahead of zero for block devices < 32 blocks large. The assert in littlefs does catch this case, but rounding down prevents support for < 32 block devices. The solution is to simply require a 32-bit aligned buffer with an assert. This avoids runtime problems while allowing a user to pass in the correct buffer for < 32 block devices. Rounding up can be handled at higher API levels.

The simple solution is to allow this non-atomic removal, with an additional step to remove any orphans that could have been created by a power-loss. This deorphan step is only run if the normal allocator has failed.

Expanded inline files up to a limit of 1023 bytes One of the big benefits of inline files is that small files no longer need to take up a full block. This opens up an opportunity to provide much better support for storage devices with only a handful of very large blocks. Such as the internal flash found on most microcontrollers. After investigating some use cases for a filesystem on internal flash, it has become apparent that the 255-byte limit is going to be too restrictive to be useful in many cases. Most uses I found needed files ~4-64 bytes in size, but it wasn't uncommon to find files ~512 bytes in length. To try to remedy this, I've pushed the 255 byte limit up to 1023 bytes, by stealing some bits from the previously-unused attributes's size. Unfortunately this limits attributes to 63 bytes in total and has a minor code cost, but I'm not sure even 1023 bytes will be sufficient for a lot of cases. The littlefs will probably never be as efficient with internal flash as other filesystems such as SPIFFS, it just wasn't designed for this sort of limited geometry. However, this feature has been heavily requested, even with limitations, because of the opportunity for code reuse on microcontrollers with both internal and external flash.

/// Metadata pair and directory operations ///
Added full dir list and rudimentary block allocator In writing the initial allocator, I ran into the rather difficult problem of trying to iterate through the entire filesystem cheaply and with only constant memory consumption (which prohibits recursive functions). The solution was to simply thread all directory blocks onto a massive linked-list that spans the entire filesystem. With the linked-list it was easy to create a traverse function for all blocks in use on the filesystem (which has potential for other utility), and add the rudimentary block allocator using a bit-vector. While the linked-list may add complexity (especially where needing to maintain atomic operations), the linked-list helps simplify what is currently the most expensive operation in the filesystem, with no cost to space (the linked-list can reuse the pointers used for chained directory blocks).

Added support for handling corrupted blocks This provides a limited form of wear leveling. While wear is not actually balanced across blocks, the filesystem can recover from corrupted blocks and extend the lifetime of a device nearly as much as dynamic wear leveling. For use-cases where wear is important, it would be better to use a full form of dynamic wear-leveling at the block level. (or consider a logging filesystem). Corrupted block handling was simply added on top of the existing logic in place for the filesystem, so it's a bit more noodly than it may have to be, but it gets the work done.

Added rudimentary framework for journaling metadata pairs This is a big change stemming from the fact that resizable entries were surprisingly complicated to implement and came in with a sizable code cost. The theory is that the journalling has a comparable cost to resizable entries. Both need to handle overflowing blocks, and managing offsets is comparable to managing attribute IDs. But by jumping all the way to full journaling, we can statically wear-level the metadata written to metadata pairs. The idea of journaling littlefs's metadata has been mentioned several times in discussions and fits well into how littlefs works. You could even view the existing metadata log as a log of size 2. The downside of this approach is that changing the metadata in this way would break compatibility from the existing layout on disk. Something that resizable entries does not do. That being said, adopting journaling at the metadata layer offers a big improvement to littlefs's performance and wear-leveling, with very little cost (maybe even none or negative after resizable entries?).

Changed internal functions to return tags over pointers One neat (if gimmicky) trick, is that each tag has a valid bit in the highest bit position of the 32-bit word. This is used to determine when to stop a fetch operation, but after fetch, the bit is free to use in the driver. This means we can create a typed-union of sorts with error codes and tags, returning both as the return value from a function. Say what you will about this trick, it does have a significant impact on code size. I suspect this is primarily due to the compiler having a hard time optimizing around pointer access.

Switched back to simple deorphan-step on directory remove Originally I tried to reuse the indirect delete to accomplish truely atomic directory removes, however this fell apart when it came to implementing directory removes as a side-effect of renames. A single indirect-delete simply can't handle renames with removes as a side effects. When copying an entry to its destination, we need to atomically delete both the old entry, and the source of our copy. We can't delete both with only a single indirect-delete. It is possible to accomplish this with two indirect-deletes, but this is such an uncommon case that it's really not worth supporting efficiently due to how expensive globals are. I also dropped indirect-deletes for normal directory removes. I may add it back later, but at the moment it's extra code cost for that's not traveled very often. As a result, restructured the indirect delete handling to be a bit more generic, now with a multipurpose lfs_globals_t struct instead of the delete specific lfs_entry_t struct. Also worked on integrating xored-globals, now with several primitive global operations to manage fetching/updating globals on disk.

Added rudimentary framework for journaling metadata pairs This is a big change stemming from the fact that resizable entries were surprisingly complicated to implement and came in with a sizable code cost. The theory is that the journalling has a comparable cost to resizable entries. Both need to handle overflowing blocks, and managing offsets is comparable to managing attribute IDs. But by jumping all the way to full journaling, we can statically wear-level the metadata written to metadata pairs. The idea of journaling littlefs's metadata has been mentioned several times in discussions and fits well into how littlefs works. You could even view the existing metadata log as a log of size 2. The downside of this approach is that changing the metadata in this way would break compatibility from the existing layout on disk. Something that resizable entries does not do. That being said, adopting journaling at the metadata layer offers a big improvement to littlefs's performance and wear-leveling, with very little cost (maybe even none or negative after resizable entries?).

Changed internal functions to return tags over pointers One neat (if gimmicky) trick, is that each tag has a valid bit in the highest bit position of the 32-bit word. This is used to determine when to stop a fetch operation, but after fetch, the bit is free to use in the driver. This means we can create a typed-union of sorts with error codes and tags, returning both as the return value from a function. Say what you will about this trick, it does have a significant impact on code size. I suspect this is primarily due to the compiler having a hard time optimizing around pointer access.

Continued progress with reintroducing testing on the new metadata logging Now with some tweaks to commit/compact, and a committers for entrylists and moves specifically. No longer relying on a commitwith callback, the types of commits are now infered from their tags. This means we can now commit things atomically with special commits, such as moves. Now lfs_rename can move entries to new names correctly.

Trimmed old names and functions from the code base I've found using temporary names to duplicate functions temporarily (lfs_dir_commit + lfs_dir_commit_) is a great way to introduce sweeping changes while keeping the code base functional and (mostly) passing tests.

Passing all of the basic functionality tests Integration with the new journaling metadata has now progressed to the point where all of the basic functionality tests are passing. This includes: - test_format - test_dirs - test_files - test_seek - test_truncate - test_interspersed - test_paths Some of the fixes: - Modified move to correctly change entry ids - Called lfs_commit_move directly from compact, avoiding commit parsing logic during a compact - Opened up commit filters to be passed down from compact for moves - Added correct drop logic to lfs_dir_delete - Updated lfs_dir_seek to use ids instead of offsets - Caught id updates manually where possible (this needs to be fixed)

Added the internal meta-directory structure Similarly to the internal "meta-attributes", I was finding quite a bit of need for an internal structure that mirrors the user-facing directory structure for when I need to do an operation on a metadata-pair, but don't need all of the state associated with a fully iterable directory chain. lfs_mdir_t - meta-directory, describes a single metadata-pair lfs_dir_t - directory, describes an iterable directory chain While it may seem complex to have all these structures lying around, they only complicate the code at compile time. To the machine, any number of nested structures all looks the same.

Added rudimentary framework for journaling metadata pairs This is a big change stemming from the fact that resizable entries were surprisingly complicated to implement and came in with a sizable code cost. The theory is that the journalling has a comparable cost to resizable entries. Both need to handle overflowing blocks, and managing offsets is comparable to managing attribute IDs. But by jumping all the way to full journaling, we can statically wear-level the metadata written to metadata pairs. The idea of journaling littlefs's metadata has been mentioned several times in discussions and fits well into how littlefs works. You could even view the existing metadata log as a log of size 2. The downside of this approach is that changing the metadata in this way would break compatibility from the existing layout on disk. Something that resizable entries does not do. That being said, adopting journaling at the metadata layer offers a big improvement to littlefs's performance and wear-leveling, with very little cost (maybe even none or negative after resizable entries?).

Changed internal functions to return tags over pointers One neat (if gimmicky) trick, is that each tag has a valid bit in the highest bit position of the 32-bit word. This is used to determine when to stop a fetch operation, but after fetch, the bit is free to use in the driver. This means we can create a typed-union of sorts with error codes and tags, returning both as the return value from a function. Say what you will about this trick, it does have a significant impact on code size. I suspect this is primarily due to the compiler having a hard time optimizing around pointer access.

Passing all of the basic functionality tests Integration with the new journaling metadata has now progressed to the point where all of the basic functionality tests are passing. This includes: - test_format - test_dirs - test_files - test_seek - test_truncate - test_interspersed - test_paths Some of the fixes: - Modified move to correctly change entry ids - Called lfs_commit_move directly from compact, avoiding commit parsing logic during a compact - Opened up commit filters to be passed down from compact for moves - Added correct drop logic to lfs_dir_delete - Updated lfs_dir_seek to use ids instead of offsets - Caught id updates manually where possible (this needs to be fixed)

}
Continued progress with reintroducing testing on the new metadata logging Now with some tweaks to commit/compact, and a committers for entrylists and moves specifically. No longer relying on a commitwith callback, the types of commits are now infered from their tags. This means we can now commit things atomically with special commits, such as moves. Now lfs_rename can move entries to new names correctly.

Switched back to simple deorphan-step on directory remove Originally I tried to reuse the indirect delete to accomplish truely atomic directory removes, however this fell apart when it came to implementing directory removes as a side-effect of renames. A single indirect-delete simply can't handle renames with removes as a side effects. When copying an entry to its destination, we need to atomically delete both the old entry, and the source of our copy. We can't delete both with only a single indirect-delete. It is possible to accomplish this with two indirect-deletes, but this is such an uncommon case that it's really not worth supporting efficiently due to how expensive globals are. I also dropped indirect-deletes for normal directory removes. I may add it back later, but at the moment it's extra code cost for that's not traveled very often. As a result, restructured the indirect delete handling to be a bit more generic, now with a multipurpose lfs_globals_t struct instead of the delete specific lfs_entry_t struct. Also worked on integrating xored-globals, now with several primitive global operations to manage fetching/updating globals on disk.

Fixed issues with finding wrong ids after bad commits Unfortunately, the behaviour needed of lfs_dir_fetchwith is as subtle as it is important. When fetching from a block corrupted by power-loss, lfs_dir_fetch must be able to rewind any state it picks up to before the corruption. This is not limited to the directory state, but includes find results and other side-effects. This gets a bit complicated when trying to generalize littlefs's fetchwith mechanics. Being able to scan a directory block during a fetch greatly impacts the runtime of littlefs operations, but if the state is generic how do we know what to rollback to? The fix here is to leave the management of rolling back state to the fetchwith match functions, and transparently pass a CRC tag to indicate the temporary state can be saved.

LFS_MKTAG(LFS_TYPE_GLOBALS, 0x3ff, sizeof(res)),
Dropped "has id" bit encoding in favor of invalid id I've been trying to keep tag types organized with an encoding that hints if a tag uses its id field for file ids. However this seem to have been a mistake. Using a null id of 0x3ff greatly simplified quite a bit of the logic around managing file related tags. The downside is one less id we can use, but if we look at the encoding cost, donating one full bit costs us 2^9 id permutations vs 1 id permutation. So even if we had a perfect encoding it's in our favor to use a null id. The cost of null ids is code size, but with the complexity around figuring out if a type used it's id or not it just works out better to use a null id.

.u.buffer=&res});
Fixed issues with finding wrong ids after bad commits Unfortunately, the behaviour needed of lfs_dir_fetchwith is as subtle as it is important. When fetching from a block corrupted by power-loss, lfs_dir_fetch must be able to rewind any state it picks up to before the corruption. This is not limited to the directory state, but includes find results and other side-effects. This gets a bit complicated when trying to generalize littlefs's fetchwith mechanics. Being able to scan a directory block during a fetch greatly impacts the runtime of littlefs operations, but if the state is generic how do we know what to rollback to? The fix here is to leave the management of rolling back state to the fetchwith match functions, and transparently pass a CRC tag to indicate the temporary state can be saved.

Switched back to simple deorphan-step on directory remove Originally I tried to reuse the indirect delete to accomplish truely atomic directory removes, however this fell apart when it came to implementing directory removes as a side-effect of renames. A single indirect-delete simply can't handle renames with removes as a side effects. When copying an entry to its destination, we need to atomically delete both the old entry, and the source of our copy. We can't delete both with only a single indirect-delete. It is possible to accomplish this with two indirect-deletes, but this is such an uncommon case that it's really not worth supporting efficiently due to how expensive globals are. I also dropped indirect-deletes for normal directory removes. I may add it back later, but at the moment it's extra code cost for that's not traveled very often. As a result, restructured the indirect delete handling to be a bit more generic, now with a multipurpose lfs_globals_t struct instead of the delete specific lfs_entry_t struct. Also worked on integrating xored-globals, now with several primitive global operations to manage fetching/updating globals on disk.

Added the internal meta-directory structure Similarly to the internal "meta-attributes", I was finding quite a bit of need for an internal structure that mirrors the user-facing directory structure for when I need to do an operation on a metadata-pair, but don't need all of the state associated with a fully iterable directory chain. lfs_mdir_t - meta-directory, describes a single metadata-pair lfs_dir_t - directory, describes an iterable directory chain While it may seem complex to have all these structures lying around, they only complicate the code at compile time. To the machine, any number of nested structures all looks the same.

Added rudimentary framework for journaling metadata pairs This is a big change stemming from the fact that resizable entries were surprisingly complicated to implement and came in with a sizable code cost. The theory is that the journalling has a comparable cost to resizable entries. Both need to handle overflowing blocks, and managing offsets is comparable to managing attribute IDs. But by jumping all the way to full journaling, we can statically wear-level the metadata written to metadata pairs. The idea of journaling littlefs's metadata has been mentioned several times in discussions and fits well into how littlefs works. You could even view the existing metadata log as a log of size 2. The downside of this approach is that changing the metadata in this way would break compatibility from the existing layout on disk. Something that resizable entries does not do. That being said, adopting journaling at the metadata layer offers a big improvement to littlefs's performance and wear-leveling, with very little cost (maybe even none or negative after resizable entries?).

More progress integrating journaling - Integrated into lfs_file_t_, duplicating functions where necessary - Added lfs_dir_fetchwith_ as common parent to both lfs_dir_fetch_ and lfs_dir_find_ - Added similar parent with lfs_dir_commitwith_ - Made matching find/get operations with getbuffer/getentry and findbuffer/findentry - lfs_dir_alloc now populates tail, since almost all directory block allocations need to populate tail

Changed internal functions to return tags over pointers One neat (if gimmicky) trick, is that each tag has a valid bit in the highest bit position of the 32-bit word. This is used to determine when to stop a fetch operation, but after fetch, the bit is free to use in the driver. This means we can create a typed-union of sorts with error codes and tags, returning both as the return value from a function. Say what you will about this trick, it does have a significant impact on code size. I suspect this is primarily due to the compiler having a hard time optimizing around pointer access.

The most humorous bug was a bug where during the three step move process, the entry move logic would dumbly copy over any tags associated with the moving entry, including the tag used to temporarily mark the entry as "moving".

Renamed lfs_entry_t -> lfs_mattr_t Attributes are used to describe more than just entries, so calling these list of attributes "entries" was inaccurate. However, the name "attributes" would conflict with "user attributes", user-facing attributes with a very similar purpose. "user attributes" must be kept distinct due to differences in binary layout (internal attributes can use a more compact tag+buffer representation, but expecting users to jump through hoops to get their data to look like that isn't very user-friendly). Decided to go with "mattr" as shorthand for "meta-attributes", similar to "metadata".

Introduced xored-globals logic to fix fundamental problem with moves This was a big roadblock for a while: with the new feature of inlined files, the existing move logic was fundamentally flawed. To pull off atomic moves between two different metadata-pairs, littlefs uses a simple, if a bit clumsy trick. 1. Marks entry as "moving" 2. Copies entry to new metadata-pair 3. Deletes old entry If power is lost before the move operation is completed, we will find the "moving" tag. This means there may or may not be an incomplete move on the filesystem. In this case, we simply search for the moved entry, if we find it, we remove the old entry, otherwise we just remove the "moving" tag. This worked perfectly, until we introduced inlined files. See, unlike the existing directory and ctz entries, inlined files have no guarantee they are unique. There is nothing we can search for that will allow us to find a moved file unless we assign entries globally-unique ids. (note that moves are fundamentally rename operations, so searching for names does not make sense). --- Solving this problem required completely restructuring how littlefs handled moves and pulled out a really old idea that had been left in the cutting room floor back when littlefs was going through many designs: xored-globals. The problem xored-globals solves is the need to maintain some global state via commits to these distributed, independent metadata-pairs. The idea is that we can use some sort of symmetric operation, such as xor, to introduces deltas of the global state that can be committed atomically along with any other info to these metadata-pairs. This means that to figure out our global state, we xor together the global delta stored in every metadata-pair. Which means any commit can update the global state atomically, opening up a whole new set atomic possibilities. There is a couple of downsides. These globals may end up with deltas on every single metadata-pair, effectively duplicating the data for each block. Additionally, these globals need to have multiple copies in RAM. This means and globals need to be a bounded size and very small, since even small globals will have a large footprint. --- On top of xored-globals, it's trivial to fix our move logic. Here we've added an indirect delete tag which allows us to atomically specify a delete of any entry on the filesystem. Our move operation is now: 1. Copy entry to new metadata-pair and atomically xor globals to indirectly delete our original entry. 2. Delete the original entry and xor globals to remove the indirect delete. Extra exciting is that this now takes our relatively clumsy move operation into a sexy guaranteed O(1) move operation with no searching necessary (though we do need to xor globals during mount). Also reintroduced entry struct, now with a specific purpose to describe the metadata-pair + id combo needed by indirect deletes to locate an entry.

The downside of this approach is that changing the metadata in this way would break compatibility from the existing layout on disk. Something that resizable entries does not do. That being said, adopting journaling at the metadata layer offers a big improvement to littlefs's performance and wear-leveling, with very little cost (maybe even none or negative after resizable entries?).

Changed internal functions to return tags over pointers One neat (if gimmicky) trick, is that each tag has a valid bit in the highest bit position of the 32-bit word. This is used to determine when to stop a fetch operation, but after fetch, the bit is free to use in the driver. This means we can create a typed-union of sorts with error codes and tags, returning both as the return value from a function. Say what you will about this trick, it does have a significant impact on code size. I suspect this is primarily due to the compiler having a hard time optimizing around pointer access.

Integrated findscan into fetch as a built in side effect Now that littlefs's fetchwith operations have stabilized a bit, there's actually only a single fetchwith operation, the findscan function. Given that there's no need for the internal functions to be a forward compatible API, we can integrate the findscan behaviour directly into fetchwith and avoid the (annoyingly) costly generalization overhead. As an added benefit, we can easily add additional tag modifications during fetch, such as the synthetic moves needed to resolve in-flight move operations without disk modifications.

Fixed issues with finding wrong ids after bad commits Unfortunately, the behaviour needed of lfs_dir_fetchwith is as subtle as it is important. When fetching from a block corrupted by power-loss, lfs_dir_fetch must be able to rewind any state it picks up to before the corruption. This is not limited to the directory state, but includes find results and other side-effects. This gets a bit complicated when trying to generalize littlefs's fetchwith mechanics. Being able to scan a directory block during a fetch greatly impacts the runtime of littlefs operations, but if the state is generic how do we know what to rollback to? The fix here is to leave the management of rolling back state to the fetchwith match functions, and transparently pass a CRC tag to indicate the temporary state can be saved.

// There's nothing special about our global delta, so feed it back
// into the global global delta
Fixed bug where globals were poisoning move commits The issue lies in the reuse of the id field for globals. Before globals, the only tags with a non-null (0x3ff) id field were names, structs, and other file-specific metadata. But globals are also using this field for the indirect delete, since otherwise the globals structure would be very unaligned (74-bits long). To make matters worse, the id field for globals contains the delta used to reconstruct the globals at mount time. Which means the id field could take on very absurd values and break the dir fetch logic if we're not careful. Solution is to use the scope portion of the type field where necessary, although unforunately this does add some code cost.

Introduced xored-globals logic to fix fundamental problem with moves This was a big roadblock for a while: with the new feature of inlined files, the existing move logic was fundamentally flawed. To pull off atomic moves between two different metadata-pairs, littlefs uses a simple, if a bit clumsy trick. 1. Marks entry as "moving" 2. Copies entry to new metadata-pair 3. Deletes old entry If power is lost before the move operation is completed, we will find the "moving" tag. This means there may or may not be an incomplete move on the filesystem. In this case, we simply search for the moved entry, if we find it, we remove the old entry, otherwise we just remove the "moving" tag. This worked perfectly, until we introduced inlined files. See, unlike the existing directory and ctz entries, inlined files have no guarantee they are unique. There is nothing we can search for that will allow us to find a moved file unless we assign entries globally-unique ids. (note that moves are fundamentally rename operations, so searching for names does not make sense). --- Solving this problem required completely restructuring how littlefs handled moves and pulled out a really old idea that had been left in the cutting room floor back when littlefs was going through many designs: xored-globals. The problem xored-globals solves is the need to maintain some global state via commits to these distributed, independent metadata-pairs. The idea is that we can use some sort of symmetric operation, such as xor, to introduces deltas of the global state that can be committed atomically along with any other info to these metadata-pairs. This means that to figure out our global state, we xor together the global delta stored in every metadata-pair. Which means any commit can update the global state atomically, opening up a whole new set atomic possibilities. There is a couple of downsides. These globals may end up with deltas on every single metadata-pair, effectively duplicating the data for each block. Additionally, these globals need to have multiple copies in RAM. This means and globals need to be a bounded size and very small, since even small globals will have a large footprint. --- On top of xored-globals, it's trivial to fix our move logic. Here we've added an indirect delete tag which allows us to atomically specify a delete of any entry on the filesystem. Our move operation is now: 1. Copy entry to new metadata-pair and atomically xor globals to indirectly delete our original entry. 2. Delete the original entry and xor globals to remove the indirect delete. Extra exciting is that this now takes our relatively clumsy move operation into a sexy guaranteed O(1) move operation with no searching necessary (though we do need to xor globals during mount). Also reintroduced entry struct, now with a specific purpose to describe the metadata-pair + id combo needed by indirect deletes to locate an entry.

Switched back to simple deorphan-step on directory remove Originally I tried to reuse the indirect delete to accomplish truely atomic directory removes, however this fell apart when it came to implementing directory removes as a side-effect of renames. A single indirect-delete simply can't handle renames with removes as a side effects. When copying an entry to its destination, we need to atomically delete both the old entry, and the source of our copy. We can't delete both with only a single indirect-delete. It is possible to accomplish this with two indirect-deletes, but this is such an uncommon case that it's really not worth supporting efficiently due to how expensive globals are. I also dropped indirect-deletes for normal directory removes. I may add it back later, but at the moment it's extra code cost for that's not traveled very often. As a result, restructured the indirect delete handling to be a bit more generic, now with a multipurpose lfs_globals_t struct instead of the delete specific lfs_entry_t struct. Also worked on integrating xored-globals, now with several primitive global operations to manage fetching/updating globals on disk.

Continued progress with reintroducing testing on the new metadata logging Now with some tweaks to commit/compact, and a committers for entrylists and moves specifically. No longer relying on a commitwith callback, the types of commits are now infered from their tags. This means we can now commit things atomically with special commits, such as moves. Now lfs_rename can move entries to new names correctly.

Fixed bug where globals were poisoning move commits The issue lies in the reuse of the id field for globals. Before globals, the only tags with a non-null (0x3ff) id field were names, structs, and other file-specific metadata. But globals are also using this field for the indirect delete, since otherwise the globals structure would be very unaligned (74-bits long). To make matters worse, the id field for globals contains the delta used to reconstruct the globals at mount time. Which means the id field could take on very absurd values and break the dir fetch logic if we're not careful. Solution is to use the scope portion of the type field where necessary, although unforunately this does add some code cost.

Added the internal meta-directory structure Similarly to the internal "meta-attributes", I was finding quite a bit of need for an internal structure that mirrors the user-facing directory structure for when I need to do an operation on a metadata-pair, but don't need all of the state associated with a fully iterable directory chain. lfs_mdir_t - meta-directory, describes a single metadata-pair lfs_dir_t - directory, describes an iterable directory chain While it may seem complex to have all these structures lying around, they only complicate the code at compile time. To the machine, any number of nested structures all looks the same.

Fixed issues with finding wrong ids after bad commits Unfortunately, the behaviour needed of lfs_dir_fetchwith is as subtle as it is important. When fetching from a block corrupted by power-loss, lfs_dir_fetch must be able to rewind any state it picks up to before the corruption. This is not limited to the directory state, but includes find results and other side-effects. This gets a bit complicated when trying to generalize littlefs's fetchwith mechanics. Being able to scan a directory block during a fetch greatly impacts the runtime of littlefs operations, but if the state is generic how do we know what to rollback to? The fix here is to leave the management of rolling back state to the fetchwith match functions, and transparently pass a CRC tag to indicate the temporary state can be saved.

Added rudimentary framework for journaling metadata pairs This is a big change stemming from the fact that resizable entries were surprisingly complicated to implement and came in with a sizable code cost. The theory is that the journalling has a comparable cost to resizable entries. Both need to handle overflowing blocks, and managing offsets is comparable to managing attribute IDs. But by jumping all the way to full journaling, we can statically wear-level the metadata written to metadata pairs. The idea of journaling littlefs's metadata has been mentioned several times in discussions and fits well into how littlefs works. You could even view the existing metadata log as a log of size 2. The downside of this approach is that changing the metadata in this way would break compatibility from the existing layout on disk. Something that resizable entries does not do. That being said, adopting journaling at the metadata layer offers a big improvement to littlefs's performance and wear-leveling, with very little cost (maybe even none or negative after resizable entries?).

Switched back to simple deorphan-step on directory remove Originally I tried to reuse the indirect delete to accomplish truely atomic directory removes, however this fell apart when it came to implementing directory removes as a side-effect of renames. A single indirect-delete simply can't handle renames with removes as a side effects. When copying an entry to its destination, we need to atomically delete both the old entry, and the source of our copy. We can't delete both with only a single indirect-delete. It is possible to accomplish this with two indirect-deletes, but this is such an uncommon case that it's really not worth supporting efficiently due to how expensive globals are. I also dropped indirect-deletes for normal directory removes. I may add it back later, but at the moment it's extra code cost for that's not traveled very often. As a result, restructured the indirect delete handling to be a bit more generic, now with a multipurpose lfs_globals_t struct instead of the delete specific lfs_entry_t struct. Also worked on integrating xored-globals, now with several primitive global operations to manage fetching/updating globals on disk.

Introduced xored-globals logic to fix fundamental problem with moves This was a big roadblock for a while: with the new feature of inlined files, the existing move logic was fundamentally flawed. To pull off atomic moves between two different metadata-pairs, littlefs uses a simple, if a bit clumsy trick. 1. Marks entry as "moving" 2. Copies entry to new metadata-pair 3. Deletes old entry If power is lost before the move operation is completed, we will find the "moving" tag. This means there may or may not be an incomplete move on the filesystem. In this case, we simply search for the moved entry, if we find it, we remove the old entry, otherwise we just remove the "moving" tag. This worked perfectly, until we introduced inlined files. See, unlike the existing directory and ctz entries, inlined files have no guarantee they are unique. There is nothing we can search for that will allow us to find a moved file unless we assign entries globally-unique ids. (note that moves are fundamentally rename operations, so searching for names does not make sense). --- Solving this problem required completely restructuring how littlefs handled moves and pulled out a really old idea that had been left in the cutting room floor back when littlefs was going through many designs: xored-globals. The problem xored-globals solves is the need to maintain some global state via commits to these distributed, independent metadata-pairs. The idea is that we can use some sort of symmetric operation, such as xor, to introduces deltas of the global state that can be committed atomically along with any other info to these metadata-pairs. This means that to figure out our global state, we xor together the global delta stored in every metadata-pair. Which means any commit can update the global state atomically, opening up a whole new set atomic possibilities. There is a couple of downsides. These globals may end up with deltas on every single metadata-pair, effectively duplicating the data for each block. Additionally, these globals need to have multiple copies in RAM. This means and globals need to be a bounded size and very small, since even small globals will have a large footprint. --- On top of xored-globals, it's trivial to fix our move logic. Here we've added an indirect delete tag which allows us to atomically specify a delete of any entry on the filesystem. Our move operation is now: 1. Copy entry to new metadata-pair and atomically xor globals to indirectly delete our original entry. 2. Delete the original entry and xor globals to remove the indirect delete. Extra exciting is that this now takes our relatively clumsy move operation into a sexy guaranteed O(1) move operation with no searching necessary (though we do need to xor globals during mount). Also reintroduced entry struct, now with a specific purpose to describe the metadata-pair + id combo needed by indirect deletes to locate an entry.

Renamed lfs_entry_t -> lfs_mattr_t Attributes are used to describe more than just entries, so calling these list of attributes "entries" was inaccurate. However, the name "attributes" would conflict with "user attributes", user-facing attributes with a very similar purpose. "user attributes" must be kept distinct due to differences in binary layout (internal attributes can use a more compact tag+buffer representation, but expecting users to jump through hoops to get their data to look like that isn't very user-friendly). Decided to go with "mattr" as shorthand for "meta-attributes", similar to "metadata".

Added the internal meta-directory structure Similarly to the internal "meta-attributes", I was finding quite a bit of need for an internal structure that mirrors the user-facing directory structure for when I need to do an operation on a metadata-pair, but don't need all of the state associated with a fully iterable directory chain. lfs_mdir_t - meta-directory, describes a single metadata-pair lfs_dir_t - directory, describes an iterable directory chain While it may seem complex to have all these structures lying around, they only complicate the code at compile time. To the machine, any number of nested structures all looks the same.

Trimmed old names and functions from the code base I've found using temporary names to duplicate functions temporarily (lfs_dir_commit + lfs_dir_commit_) is a great way to introduce sweeping changes while keeping the code base functional and (mostly) passing tests.

Changed internal functions to return tags over pointers One neat (if gimmicky) trick, is that each tag has a valid bit in the highest bit position of the 32-bit word. This is used to determine when to stop a fetch operation, but after fetch, the bit is free to use in the driver. This means we can create a typed-union of sorts with error codes and tags, returning both as the return value from a function. Say what you will about this trick, it does have a significant impact on code size. I suspect this is primarily due to the compiler having a hard time optimizing around pointer access.

Additionally, but storing the type in the file name tag, this opens up the struct tag to use those bits for storing more struct descriptions.

Changed internal functions to return tags over pointers One neat (if gimmicky) trick, is that each tag has a valid bit in the highest bit position of the 32-bit word. This is used to determine when to stop a fetch operation, but after fetch, the bit is free to use in the driver. This means we can create a typed-union of sorts with error codes and tags, returning both as the return value from a function. Say what you will about this trick, it does have a significant impact on code size. I suspect this is primarily due to the compiler having a hard time optimizing around pointer access.

More progress integrating journaling - Integrated into lfs_file_t_, duplicating functions where necessary - Added lfs_dir_fetchwith_ as common parent to both lfs_dir_fetch_ and lfs_dir_find_ - Added similar parent with lfs_dir_commitwith_ - Made matching find/get operations with getbuffer/getentry and findbuffer/findentry - lfs_dir_alloc now populates tail, since almost all directory block allocations need to populate tail

Consolidated find/parent scanning functions An interesting observation about the find and parent scanning functions is that at their core, they're both actually doing the same operation. They search a metadata-pair during fetch for an entry uses the entry data instead of the entry tag. This means we can combine these functions and get a decent code savings. It's a little bit trickier because pair ordering isn't guaranteed. But to work around that we can simply search for both pair orderings. It's a bit more expensive but may be worth the code savings. A fancier implementation in the future can avoid the 2x lfs_parent scans.

Added rudimentary framework for journaling metadata pairs This is a big change stemming from the fact that resizable entries were surprisingly complicated to implement and came in with a sizable code cost. The theory is that the journalling has a comparable cost to resizable entries. Both need to handle overflowing blocks, and managing offsets is comparable to managing attribute IDs. But by jumping all the way to full journaling, we can statically wear-level the metadata written to metadata pairs. The idea of journaling littlefs's metadata has been mentioned several times in discussions and fits well into how littlefs works. You could even view the existing metadata log as a log of size 2. The downside of this approach is that changing the metadata in this way would break compatibility from the existing layout on disk. Something that resizable entries does not do. That being said, adopting journaling at the metadata layer offers a big improvement to littlefs's performance and wear-leveling, with very little cost (maybe even none or negative after resizable entries?).

This initially made sense because the type info only directly impacts the struct tag. However this was a case of focusing too much on the details instead of the bigger picture. A more file operations need to figure out the type of a file, but it's only actually a small number of file operations that need to interact with the file's structure. For the common case, providing the type of the file early shortens operations by a full tag access. Additionally, but storing the type in the file name tag, this opens up the struct tag to use those bits for storing more struct descriptions.

Changed internal functions to return tags over pointers One neat (if gimmicky) trick, is that each tag has a valid bit in the highest bit position of the 32-bit word. This is used to determine when to stop a fetch operation, but after fetch, the bit is free to use in the driver. This means we can create a typed-union of sorts with error codes and tags, returning both as the return value from a function. Say what you will about this trick, it does have a significant impact on code size. I suspect this is primarily due to the compiler having a hard time optimizing around pointer access.

Traded enum-based DSL for full callback-based DSL Now, instead of passing an enum for mem/disk commits, we pass a function pointer that can specify any behaviour. This has the benefit of opening up the possibility to pass any sort of commit logic to the committers, and unused logic can be garbage-collected by the compiler if unused. The downside is that unfortunately compilers have a harder time optimizing around functions pointers than enums, and fitting the state into structs for the callbacks may be costly.

Restructured directory code After quite a bit of prototyping, settled on the following functions: - lfs_dir_alloc - create a new dir - lfs_dir_fetch - load and check a dir pair from disk - lfs_dir_commit - save a dir pair to disk - lfs_dir_shift - shrink a dir pair to disk - lfs_dir_append - add a dir entry, creating dirs if needed - lfs_dir_remove - remove a dir entry, dropping dirs if needed Additionally, followed through with a few other tweaks

More testing progress, combined dir/commit traversal Passing more tests now with the journalling change, but still have more work to do. The most humorous bug was a bug where during the three step move process, the entry move logic would dumbly copy over any tags associated with the moving entry, including the tag used to temporarily mark the entry as "moving". Also combined dir and commit traversal using a "stop_at_commit" flag in directory struct as a short-term hack to combine the code paths.

Progressed integration of journaling metadata pairs - Integrated journaling into lfs_dir_t_ struct and operations, duplicating functions where necessary - Added internal lfs_tag_t and lfs_stag_t - Consolidated lfs_region and lfs_entry structures

Added limited support for directories This comes with a lot of scafolding put into place around the core of the filesystem. Added operations: - append an entry to a directory - find an entry in a directory - iterate over entries in a directory Some to do: - Chaining multiple directory blocks - Recursion on directory operations

Reorganized the internal operations to make more sense Also refactored lfs_dir_compact a bit, adding begin and end as arguments since they simplify a bit of the logic and can be found out much easier earlier in the commit logic. Also changed add -> append and drop -> delete and cleaned up some of the logic around there.

Passing all of the basic functionality tests Integration with the new journaling metadata has now progressed to the point where all of the basic functionality tests are passing. This includes: - test_format - test_dirs - test_files - test_seek - test_truncate - test_interspersed - test_paths Some of the fixes: - Modified move to correctly change entry ids - Called lfs_commit_move directly from compact, avoiding commit parsing logic during a compact - Opened up commit filters to be passed down from compact for moves - Added correct drop logic to lfs_dir_delete - Updated lfs_dir_seek to use ids instead of offsets - Caught id updates manually where possible (this needs to be fixed)

Renamed lfs_entry_t -> lfs_mattr_t Attributes are used to describe more than just entries, so calling these list of attributes "entries" was inaccurate. However, the name "attributes" would conflict with "user attributes", user-facing attributes with a very similar purpose. "user attributes" must be kept distinct due to differences in binary layout (internal attributes can use a more compact tag+buffer representation, but expecting users to jump through hoops to get their data to look like that isn't very user-friendly). Decided to go with "mattr" as shorthand for "meta-attributes", similar to "metadata".

Added caching with managed caches at the file level This adds a fully independent layer between the rest of the filesystem and the block device. This requires some additionally logic around cache invalidation and flushing, but removes the need for any higher layer to consider read/write sizes less than what is supported by the hardware. Additionally, these caches can be used for possible speed improvements. This is left up to the user to optimize for their use cases. For very limited embedded systems with byte-level read/writes, the caches could be omitted completely, or they could even be the size of a full block for minimizing storage access. (A full block may not be the best for speed, consider if only a small portion of the read block is used, but I'll leave that evaluation as an exercise for any consumers of this library)

Removed clamping to block size in ctz linked-list Initially, I was concerned that the number of pointers in the ctz linked-list could exceed the storage in a block. Long story short this isn't really possible outside of extremely small block sizes. Since clamping impacts the layout of files on disk, removing the block size removed quite a bit of logic and corner cases. Replaced with an assert on block size during initialization. --- Long story long, the minimum block size needed to store all ctz pointers in a filesystem can be found with this formula: B = (w/8)*log2(2^w / (B - 2*(w/8))) where: B = block size in bytes w = pointer width in bits It's not a very pretty formula, but does give us some useful info if we apply some math: min block size: 32 bit ctz linked-list = 104 bytes 64 bit ctz linked-list = 448 bytes For littlefs, 128 bytes is a perfectly reasonable minimum block size.

Rather, encouraging modification of lfs_util.h and making it easy to modify and debug should result in better integration with the consuming systems. This just adds a bunch of quality-of-life improvements that should help development and integration in littlefs. - Macros that require no side-effects are all-caps - System includes are only brought in when needed - Malloc/free wrappers - LFS_NO_* checks for quickly disabling things at the command line - At least a little-bit more docs

(A full block may not be the best for speed, consider if only a small portion of the read block is used, but I'll leave that evaluation as an exercise for any consumers of this library)

While wear is not actually balanced across blocks, the filesystem can recover from corrupted blocks and extend the lifetime of a device nearly as much as dynamic wear leveling. For use-cases where wear is important, it would be better to use a full form of dynamic wear-leveling at the block level. (or consider a logging filesystem). Corrupted block handling was simply added on top of the existing logic in place for the filesystem, so it's a bit more noodly than it may have to be, but it gets the work done.

Fixed issue with cold-write after seek to block boundary This off-by-one error was caused by a slight difference between the pos argument to lfs_index_find and lfs_index_extend. When pos is on a block boundary, lfs_index_extend expects block to point before pos, as it would when writing a file linearly. But when seeking to that pos, the lfs_index_find to warm things up just supplies the block it expects pos to be in. Fixed the off-by-one error and added a test case for several of these cold seek+writes.

Reduced ctz traverse runtime by 2x Unfortunately for us, the ctz skip-list does not offer very much benefit for full traversals. Since the information about which blocks are in use are spread throughout the file, we can't use the fast-lanes embedded in the skip-list without missing blocks. However, it turns out we can at least use the 2nd level of the skip-list without missing any blocks.

Added the internal meta-directory structure Similarly to the internal "meta-attributes", I was finding quite a bit of need for an internal structure that mirrors the user-facing directory structure for when I need to do an operation on a metadata-pair, but don't need all of the state associated with a fully iterable directory chain. lfs_mdir_t - meta-directory, describes a single metadata-pair lfs_dir_t - directory, describes an iterable directory chain While it may seem complex to have all these structures lying around, they only complicate the code at compile time. To the machine, any number of nested structures all looks the same.

Changed internal functions to return tags over pointers One neat (if gimmicky) trick, is that each tag has a valid bit in the highest bit position of the 32-bit word. This is used to determine when to stop a fetch operation, but after fetch, the bit is free to use in the driver. This means we can create a typed-union of sorts with error codes and tags, returning both as the return value from a function. Say what you will about this trick, it does have a significant impact on code size. I suspect this is primarily due to the compiler having a hard time optimizing around pointer access.

Modified results from find-like functions to use tags Tags offer all of the necessary info from the find functions (which makes sense, this is the structure that stores the info on disk). Passing around a single tag instead of separate id and type fields simplifies the internal functions while leverages the tag's compactness.

Changed internal functions to return tags over pointers One neat (if gimmicky) trick, is that each tag has a valid bit in the highest bit position of the 32-bit word. This is used to determine when to stop a fetch operation, but after fetch, the bit is free to use in the driver. This means we can create a typed-union of sorts with error codes and tags, returning both as the return value from a function. Say what you will about this trick, it does have a significant impact on code size. I suspect this is primarily due to the compiler having a hard time optimizing around pointer access.

Changed type info to be retrieved from name tag instead of struct tag Originally, I had type info encoded in the struct tag. This initially made sense because the type info only directly impacts the struct tag. However this was a case of focusing too much on the details instead of the bigger picture. A more file operations need to figure out the type of a file, but it's only actually a small number of file operations that need to interact with the file's structure. For the common case, providing the type of the file early shortens operations by a full tag access. Additionally, but storing the type in the file name tag, this opens up the struct tag to use those bits for storing more struct descriptions.

Added caching with managed caches at the file level This adds a fully independent layer between the rest of the filesystem and the block device. This requires some additionally logic around cache invalidation and flushing, but removes the need for any higher layer to consider read/write sizes less than what is supported by the hardware. Additionally, these caches can be used for possible speed improvements. This is left up to the user to optimize for their use cases. For very limited embedded systems with byte-level read/writes, the caches could be omitted completely, or they could even be the size of a full block for minimizing storage access. (A full block may not be the best for speed, consider if only a small portion of the read block is used, but I'll leave that evaluation as an exercise for any consumers of this library)

Expanded inline files up to a limit of 1023 bytes One of the big benefits of inline files is that small files no longer need to take up a full block. This opens up an opportunity to provide much better support for storage devices with only a handful of very large blocks. Such as the internal flash found on most microcontrollers. After investigating some use cases for a filesystem on internal flash, it has become apparent that the 255-byte limit is going to be too restrictive to be useful in many cases. Most uses I found needed files ~4-64 bytes in size, but it wasn't uncommon to find files ~512 bytes in length. To try to remedy this, I've pushed the 255 byte limit up to 1023 bytes, by stealing some bits from the previously-unused attributes's size. Unfortunately this limits attributes to 63 bytes in total and has a minor code cost, but I'm not sure even 1023 bytes will be sufficient for a lot of cases. The littlefs will probably never be as efficient with internal flash as other filesystems such as SPIFFS, it just wasn't designed for this sort of limited geometry. However, this feature has been heavily requested, even with limitations, because of the opportunity for code reuse on microcontrollers with both internal and external flash.

Shoehorned in hacky implementation of inline files Proof-of-concept implementation of inline files that stores the file's content directly in its parent's directory pair. Inline files are indicated by a different type stored in an entry's struct field, and take advantage of resizable entries. Where a normal file's entry would normally hold the reference to the CTZ skip-list, an inline file's entry contains the contents of the actual file. Unfortunately, storing the inline file on disk is the easy part. We also need to manage inline files in the internals of littlefs and provide the same operations that we do on normal files, all while reusing as much code as possible to avoid a significant increase in code cost. There is a relatively simple, though maybe a bit hacky, solution here. If a file fits entirely in a cache line, the file logic never actually has to go to disk. This means we can just give the file a "pretend" block (hopefully one that would assert if ever written to), and carry out file operations as normal, as long as we catch the file before it exceeds the cache line and write out the file to an actual disk.

Added support for the basic file operation Missing seek, but these are the core filesystem operations provided by this filesystem: - Read a file - Append to a file Additional work is needed around freeing the previous file, so right now it's limited to appending to existing files, a real append only filesystem. Unfortunately the overhead of the free list with multiple open files is becoming tricky.

Unfortunately, lfs_off_t is already used intensively through the codebase, so in focusing on moving forward and avoiding getting bogged down by details, I'm going to keep it as is and use the signed type lfs_soff_t where necessary.

Added the internal meta-directory structure Similarly to the internal "meta-attributes", I was finding quite a bit of need for an internal structure that mirrors the user-facing directory structure for when I need to do an operation on a metadata-pair, but don't need all of the state associated with a fully iterable directory chain. lfs_mdir_t - meta-directory, describes a single metadata-pair lfs_dir_t - directory, describes an iterable directory chain While it may seem complex to have all these structures lying around, they only complicate the code at compile time. To the machine, any number of nested structures all looks the same.

Added internal lfs_dir_set, an umbrella to dir append/update/remove operations This move was surprisingly complex, but offers the ultimate opportunity for code reuse in terms of resizable entries. Instead of needing to provide separate functions for adding and removing entries, adding and removing entries can just be viewed as changing an entry's size to-and-from zero. Unfortunately, it's not _quite_ that simple, since append and remove hide some relatively complex operations for when directory blocks overflow or need to be cleaned up. However, with enough shoehorning, and a new committer type that allows specifying recursive commit lists (is this now a push-down automata?), it does seem to be possible to shove all of the entry update logic into a single function. Sidenote, I switched back to an enum-based DSL, since the addition of a recursive region opcode breaks the consistency of what needs to be passed to the DSL callback functions. It's much simpler to handle each opcode explicitly inside a recursive lfs_commit_region function.

Shoehorned in hacky implementation of inline files Proof-of-concept implementation of inline files that stores the file's content directly in its parent's directory pair. Inline files are indicated by a different type stored in an entry's struct field, and take advantage of resizable entries. Where a normal file's entry would normally hold the reference to the CTZ skip-list, an inline file's entry contains the contents of the actual file. Unfortunately, storing the inline file on disk is the easy part. We also need to manage inline files in the internals of littlefs and provide the same operations that we do on normal files, all while reusing as much code as possible to avoid a significant increase in code cost. There is a relatively simple, though maybe a bit hacky, solution here. If a file fits entirely in a cache line, the file logic never actually has to go to disk. This means we can just give the file a "pretend" block (hopefully one that would assert if ever written to), and carry out file operations as normal, as long as we catch the file before it exceeds the cache line and write out the file to an actual disk.

Shoehorned in hacky implementation of inline files Proof-of-concept implementation of inline files that stores the file's content directly in its parent's directory pair. Inline files are indicated by a different type stored in an entry's struct field, and take advantage of resizable entries. Where a normal file's entry would normally hold the reference to the CTZ skip-list, an inline file's entry contains the contents of the actual file. Unfortunately, storing the inline file on disk is the easy part. We also need to manage inline files in the internals of littlefs and provide the same operations that we do on normal files, all while reusing as much code as possible to avoid a significant increase in code cost. There is a relatively simple, though maybe a bit hacky, solution here. If a file fits entirely in a cache line, the file logic never actually has to go to disk. This means we can just give the file a "pretend" block (hopefully one that would assert if ever written to), and carry out file operations as normal, as long as we catch the file before it exceeds the cache line and write out the file to an actual disk.

Added disk-backed limits on the name/attrs/inline sizes Being a portable, microcontroller-scale embedded filesystem, littlefs is presented with a relatively unique challenge. The amount of RAM available is on completely different scales from machine to machine, and what is normally a reasonable RAM assumption may break completely on an embedded system. A great example of this is file names. On almost every PC these days, the limit for a file name is 255 bytes. It's a very convenient limit for a number of reasons. However, on microcontrollers, allocating 255 bytes of RAM to do a file search can be unreasonable. The simplest solution (and one that has existing in littlefs for a while), is to let this limit be redefined to a smaller value on devices that need to save RAM. However, this presents an interesting portability issue. If these devices are plugged into a PC with relatively infinite RAM, nothing stops the PC from writing files with full 255-byte file names, which can't be read on the small device. One solution here is to store this limit on the superblock during format time. When mounting a disk, the filesystem implementation is responsible for checking this limit in the superblock. If it's larger than what can be read, raise an error. If it's smaller, respect the limit on the superblock and raise an error if the user attempts to exceed it. In this commit, this strategy is adopted for file names, inline files, and the size of all attributes, since these could impact the memory consumption of the filesystem. (Recording the attribute's limit is iffy, but is the only other arbitrary limit and could be used for disabling support of custom attributes). Note! This changes makes it very important to configure littlefs correctly at format time. If littlefs is formatted on a PC without changing the limits appropriately, it will be rejected by a smaller device.

Added sticky-bit for preventing file syncs after write errors Short story, files are no longer committed to directories during file sync/close if the last write did not complete successfully. This avoids a set of interesting user-experience issues related to the end-of-life behaviour of the filesystem. As a filesystem approaches end-of-life, the chances of running into LFS_ERR_NOSPC grows rather quickly. Since this condition occurs after at the end of a devices life, it's likely that operating in these conditions hasn't been tested thoroughly. In the specific case of file-writes, you can hit an LFS_ERR_NOSPC after parts of the file have been written out. If the program simply continues and closes the file, the file is written out half completed. Since littlefs has a strong garuntee the prevents half-writes, it's unlikely this state of the file would be expected. To make things worse, since close is also responsible for memory cleanup, it's actually _impossible_ to continue working as it was without leaking memory. By prevent the file commits, end-of-life behaviour should at least retain a previous copy of the filesystem without any surprises.

Fixed issue with cold-write after seek to block boundary This off-by-one error was caused by a slight difference between the pos argument to lfs_index_find and lfs_index_extend. When pos is on a block boundary, lfs_index_extend expects block to point before pos, as it would when writing a file linearly. But when seeking to that pos, the lfs_index_find to warm things up just supplies the block it expects pos to be in.

lfs_size_t diff = lfs_min(nsize, lfs->cfg->block_size - file->off);
Added support for handling corrupted blocks This provides a limited form of wear leveling. While wear is not actually balanced across blocks, the filesystem can recover from corrupted blocks and extend the lifetime of a device nearly as much as dynamic wear leveling. For use-cases where wear is important, it would be better to use a full form of dynamic wear-leveling at the block level. (or consider a logging filesystem). Corrupted block handling was simply added on top of the existing logic in place for the filesystem, so it's a bit more noodly than it may have to be, but it gets the work done.

while (true) {
Added internal check of data written to disk Before, the littlefs relied on the underlying block device to report corruption that occurs when writing data to disk. This requirement is easy to miss or implement incorrectly, since the error detection is only required when a block becomes corrupted, which is very unlikely to happen until late in the block device's lifetime. The littlefs can detect corruption itself by reading back written data. This requires a bit of care to reuse the available buffers, and may rely on checksums to avoid additional RAM requirements. This does have a runtime penalty with the extra read operations, but should make the littlefs much more robust to different implementations.

Added sticky-bit for preventing file syncs after write errors Short story, files are no longer committed to directories during file sync/close if the last write did not complete successfully. This avoids a set of interesting user-experience issues related to the end-of-life behaviour of the filesystem. As a filesystem approaches end-of-life, the chances of running into LFS_ERR_NOSPC grows rather quickly. Since this condition occurs after at the end of a devices life, it's likely that operating in these conditions hasn't been tested thoroughly. In the specific case of file-writes, you can hit an LFS_ERR_NOSPC after parts of the file have been written out. If the program simply continues and closes the file, the file is written out half completed. Since littlefs has a strong garuntee the prevents half-writes, it's unlikely this state of the file would be expected. To make things worse, since close is also responsible for memory cleanup, it's actually _impossible_ to continue working as it was without leaking memory. By prevent the file commits, end-of-life behaviour should at least retain a previous copy of the filesystem without any surprises.

Fixed relocation bug when a file is closed with lingering caches This bug required larger cache sizes to notice, since block errors usually get detected in the early stages of writing to files. Since the fix here requires both lfs_file_write and lfs_file_flush relocate file blocks, the relocation logic was moved out into a seperate function.

Added caching with managed caches at the file level This adds a fully independent layer between the rest of the filesystem and the block device. This requires some additionally logic around cache invalidation and flushing, but removes the need for any higher layer to consider read/write sizes less than what is supported by the hardware. Additionally, these caches can be used for possible speed improvements. This is left up to the user to optimize for their use cases. For very limited embedded systems with byte-level read/writes, the caches could be omitted completely, or they could even be the size of a full block for minimizing storage access.

To the machine, any number of nested structures all looks the same.

Renamed lfs_entry_t -> lfs_mattr_t Attributes are used to describe more than just entries, so calling these list of attributes "entries" was inaccurate. However, the name "attributes" would conflict with "user attributes", user-facing attributes with a very similar purpose. "user attributes" must be kept distinct due to differences in binary layout (internal attributes can use a more compact tag+buffer representation, but expecting users to jump through hoops to get their data to look like that isn't very user-friendly). Decided to go with "mattr" as shorthand for "meta-attributes", similar to "metadata".

Added the internal meta-directory structure Similarly to the internal "meta-attributes", I was finding quite a bit of need for an internal structure that mirrors the user-facing directory structure for when I need to do an operation on a metadata-pair, but don't need all of the state associated with a fully iterable directory chain. lfs_mdir_t - meta-directory, describes a single metadata-pair lfs_dir_t - directory, describes an iterable directory chain While it may seem complex to have all these structures lying around, they only complicate the code at compile time. To the machine, any number of nested structures all looks the same.

Renamed lfs_entry_t -> lfs_mattr_t Attributes are used to describe more than just entries, so calling these list of attributes "entries" was inaccurate. However, the name "attributes" would conflict with "user attributes", user-facing attributes with a very similar purpose. "user attributes" must be kept distinct due to differences in binary layout (internal attributes can use a more compact tag+buffer representation, but expecting users to jump through hoops to get their data to look like that isn't very user-friendly). Decided to go with "mattr" as shorthand for "meta-attributes", similar to "metadata".

Added file-level and fs-level custom attribute APIs In the form of lfs_file_setattr, lfs_file_getattr, lfs_fs_setattr, lfs_fs_getattr. This enables atomic updates of custom attributes as described in 6c754c8, and provides a custom attribute API that allows custom attributes to be stored on the filesystem itself.

Changed type info to be retrieved from name tag instead of struct tag Originally, I had type info encoded in the struct tag. This initially made sense because the type info only directly impacts the struct tag. However this was a case of focusing too much on the details instead of the bigger picture. A more file operations need to figure out the type of a file, but it's only actually a small number of file operations that need to interact with the file's structure. For the common case, providing the type of the file early shortens operations by a full tag access. Additionally, but storing the type in the file name tag, this opens up the struct tag to use those bits for storing more struct descriptions.

Changed internal functions to return tags over pointers One neat (if gimmicky) trick, is that each tag has a valid bit in the highest bit position of the 32-bit word. This is used to determine when to stop a fetch operation, but after fetch, the bit is free to use in the driver. This means we can create a typed-union of sorts with error codes and tags, returning both as the return value from a function. Say what you will about this trick, it does have a significant impact on code size. I suspect this is primarily due to the compiler having a hard time optimizing around pointer access.

Added simple custom attributes A much requested feature (mostly because of littlefs's notable lack of timestamps), this commits adds support for user-specified custom attributes. Planned (though underestimated) since v1, custom attributes provide a route for OSs and applications to provide their own metadata in littlefs, without limiting portability. However, unlike custom attributes that can be found on much more powerful PC filesystems, these custom attributes are very limited, intended for only a handful of bytes for very important metadata. Each attribute has only a single byte to identify the attribute, and the size of all attributes attached to a file is limited to 64 bytes. Custom attributes can be accessed through the lfs_getattr, lfs_setattr, and lfs_removeattr functions.

Adopted EISDIR as internal error for root path as argument Unfortunately, it's hard to make directory lookups for root not a special case, and we don't like special cases when we're trying to keep code size small. Since there are a handful of code paths where opening root should return EISDIR (such as lfs_file_open("/")), using EISDIR to note that the argument is in fact a path to the root. This is needed because we no longer look up an entries contents in lfs_dir_find for free, since entries are more ephemeral.

Switched back to simple deorphan-step on directory remove Originally I tried to reuse the indirect delete to accomplish truely atomic directory removes, however this fell apart when it came to implementing directory removes as a side-effect of renames. A single indirect-delete simply can't handle renames with removes as a side effects. When copying an entry to its destination, we need to atomically delete both the old entry, and the source of our copy. We can't delete both with only a single indirect-delete. It is possible to accomplish this with two indirect-deletes, but this is such an uncommon case that it's really not worth supporting efficiently due to how expensive globals are. I also dropped indirect-deletes for normal directory removes. I may add it back later, but at the moment it's extra code cost for that's not traveled very often. As a result, restructured the indirect delete handling to be a bit more generic, now with a multipurpose lfs_globals_t struct instead of the delete specific lfs_entry_t struct. Also worked on integrating xored-globals, now with several primitive global operations to manage fetching/updating globals on disk.

Switched back to simple deorphan-step on directory remove Originally I tried to reuse the indirect delete to accomplish truely atomic directory removes, however this fell apart when it came to implementing directory removes as a side-effect of renames. A single indirect-delete simply can't handle renames with removes as a side effects. When copying an entry to its destination, we need to atomically delete both the old entry, and the source of our copy. We can't delete both with only a single indirect-delete. It is possible to accomplish this with two indirect-deletes, but this is such an uncommon case that it's really not worth supporting efficiently due to how expensive globals are. I also dropped indirect-deletes for normal directory removes. I may add it back later, but at the moment it's extra code cost for that's not traveled very often. As a result, restructured the indirect delete handling to be a bit more generic, now with a multipurpose lfs_globals_t struct instead of the delete specific lfs_entry_t struct. Also worked on integrating xored-globals, now with several primitive global operations to manage fetching/updating globals on disk.

Fixed bug where globals were poisoning move commits The issue lies in the reuse of the id field for globals. Before globals, the only tags with a non-null (0x3ff) id field were names, structs, and other file-specific metadata. But globals are also using this field for the indirect delete, since otherwise the globals structure would be very unaligned (74-bits long). To make matters worse, the id field for globals contains the delta used to reconstruct the globals at mount time. Which means the id field could take on very absurd values and break the dir fetch logic if we're not careful. Solution is to use the scope portion of the type field where necessary, although unforunately this does add some code cost.

Added simple custom attributes A much requested feature (mostly because of littlefs's notable lack of timestamps), this commits adds support for user-specified custom attributes. Planned (though underestimated) since v1, custom attributes provide a route for OSs and applications to provide their own metadata in littlefs, without limiting portability. However, unlike custom attributes that can be found on much more powerful PC filesystems, these custom attributes are very limited, intended for only a handful of bytes for very important metadata. Each attribute has only a single byte to identify the attribute, and the size of all attributes attached to a file is limited to 64 bytes. Custom attributes can be accessed through the lfs_getattr, lfs_setattr, and lfs_removeattr functions.

Reorganized the internal operations to make more sense Also refactored lfs_dir_compact a bit, adding begin and end as arguments since they simplify a bit of the logic and can be found out much easier earlier in the commit logic.

Added the internal meta-directory structure Similarly to the internal "meta-attributes", I was finding quite a bit of need for an internal structure that mirrors the user-facing directory structure for when I need to do an operation on a metadata-pair, but don't need all of the state associated with a fully iterable directory chain. lfs_mdir_t - meta-directory, describes a single metadata-pair lfs_dir_t - directory, describes an iterable directory chain While it may seem complex to have all these structures lying around, they only complicate the code at compile time. To the machine, any number of nested structures all looks the same.

Renamed lfs_entry_t -> lfs_mattr_t Attributes are used to describe more than just entries, so calling these list of attributes "entries" was inaccurate. However, the name "attributes" would conflict with "user attributes", user-facing attributes with a very similar purpose. "user attributes" must be kept distinct due to differences in binary layout (internal attributes can use a more compact tag+buffer representation, but expecting users to jump through hoops to get their data to look like that isn't very user-friendly). Decided to go with "mattr" as shorthand for "meta-attributes", similar to "metadata".

Consolidated find/parent scanning functions An interesting observation about the find and parent scanning functions is that at their core, they're both actually doing the same operation. They search a metadata-pair during fetch for an entry uses the entry data instead of the entry tag. This means we can combine these functions and get a decent code savings. It's a little bit trickier because pair ordering isn't guaranteed. But to work around that we can simply search for both pair orderings. It's a bit more expensive but may be worth the code savings. A fancier implementation in the future can avoid the 2x lfs_parent scans.

Removed clamping to block size in ctz linked-list Initially, I was concerned that the number of pointers in the ctz linked-list could exceed the storage in a block. Long story short this isn't really possible outside of extremely small block sizes. Since clamping impacts the layout of files on disk, removing the block size removed quite a bit of logic and corner cases. Replaced with an assert on block size during initialization. --- Long story long, the minimum block size needed to store all ctz pointers in a filesystem can be found with this formula: B = (w/8)*log2(2^w / (B - 2*(w/8))) where: B = block size in bytes w = pointer width in bits It's not a very pretty formula, but does give us some useful info if we apply some math: min block size: 32 bit ctz linked-list = 104 bytes 64 bit ctz linked-list = 448 bytes For littlefs, 128 bytes is a perfectly reasonable minimum block size.

Added disk-backed limits on the name/attrs/inline sizes Being a portable, microcontroller-scale embedded filesystem, littlefs is presented with a relatively unique challenge. The amount of RAM available is on completely different scales from machine to machine, and what is normally a reasonable RAM assumption may break completely on an embedded system. A great example of this is file names. On almost every PC these days, the limit for a file name is 255 bytes. It's a very convenient limit for a number of reasons. However, on microcontrollers, allocating 255 bytes of RAM to do a file search can be unreasonable. The simplest solution (and one that has existing in littlefs for a while), is to let this limit be redefined to a smaller value on devices that need to save RAM. However, this presents an interesting portability issue. If these devices are plugged into a PC with relatively infinite RAM, nothing stops the PC from writing files with full 255-byte file names, which can't be read on the small device. One solution here is to store this limit on the superblock during format time. When mounting a disk, the filesystem implementation is responsible for checking this limit in the superblock. If it's larger than what can be read, raise an error. If it's smaller, respect the limit on the superblock and raise an error if the user attempts to exceed it. In this commit, this strategy is adopted for file names, inline files, and the size of all attributes, since these could impact the memory consumption of the filesystem. (Recording the attribute's limit is iffy, but is the only other arbitrary limit and could be used for disabling support of custom attributes). Note! This changes makes it very important to configure littlefs correctly at format time. If littlefs is formatted on a PC without changing the limits appropriately, it will be rejected by a smaller device.

Added support for handling corrupted blocks This provides a limited form of wear leveling. While wear is not actually balanced across blocks, the filesystem can recover from corrupted blocks and extend the lifetime of a device nearly as much as dynamic wear leveling. For use-cases where wear is important, it would be better to use a full form of dynamic wear-leveling at the block level. (or consider a logging filesystem). Corrupted block handling was simply added on top of the existing logic in place for the filesystem, so it's a bit more noodly than it may have to be, but it gets the work done.

Added directory list for synchronizing in flight directories As it was, if a user operated on a directory while at the same time iterating over the directory, the directory objects could fall out of sync. In the best case, files may be skipped while removing everything in a file, in the worst case, a very poorly timed directory relocate could be missed. Simple fix is to add the same directory tracking that is currently in use for files, at a small code+complexity cost.

Added support for handling corrupted blocks This provides a limited form of wear leveling. While wear is not actually balanced across blocks, the filesystem can recover from corrupted blocks and extend the lifetime of a device nearly as much as dynamic wear leveling. For use-cases where wear is important, it would be better to use a full form of dynamic wear-leveling at the block level. (or consider a logging filesystem). Corrupted block handling was simply added on top of the existing logic in place for the filesystem, so it's a bit more noodly than it may have to be, but it gets the work done.

Switched back to simple deorphan-step on directory remove Originally I tried to reuse the indirect delete to accomplish truely atomic directory removes, however this fell apart when it came to implementing directory removes as a side-effect of renames. A single indirect-delete simply can't handle renames with removes as a side effects. When copying an entry to its destination, we need to atomically delete both the old entry, and the source of our copy. We can't delete both with only a single indirect-delete. It is possible to accomplish this with two indirect-deletes, but this is such an uncommon case that it's really not worth supporting efficiently due to how expensive globals are. I also dropped indirect-deletes for normal directory removes. I may add it back later, but at the moment it's extra code cost for that's not traveled very often. As a result, restructured the indirect delete handling to be a bit more generic, now with a multipurpose lfs_globals_t struct instead of the delete specific lfs_entry_t struct. Also worked on integrating xored-globals, now with several primitive global operations to manage fetching/updating globals on disk.

// create free lookahead
Fixed issue with aggressively rounding down lookahead configuration The littlefs allows buffers to be passed statically in the case that a system does not have a heap. Unfortunately, this means we can't round up in the case of an unaligned lookahead buffer. Double unfortunately, rounding down after clamping to the block device size could result in a lookahead of zero for block devices < 32 blocks large. The assert in littlefs does catch this case, but rounding down prevents support for < 32 block devices. The solution is to simply require a 32-bit aligned buffer with an assert. This avoids runtime problems while allowing a user to pass in the correct buffer for < 32 block devices. Rounding up can be handled at higher API levels.

lfs->free.off = 0;
Fixed lookahead overflow and removed unbounded lookahead pointers As pointed out by davidefer, the lookahead pointer modular arithmetic does not work around integer overflow when the pointer size is not a multiple of the block count. To avoid overflow problems, the easy solution is to stop trying to work around integer overflows and keep the lookahead offset inside the block device. To make this work, the ack was modified into a resetable counter that is decremented every block allocation. As a plus, quite a bit of the allocation logic ended up simplified.

lfs->free.size = lfs_min(lfs->cfg->lookahead, lfs->cfg->block_count);
lfs->free.i = 0;
Fix incorrect lookahead population before ack Rather than tracking all in-flight blocks blocks during a lookahead, littlefs uses an ack scheme to mark the first allocated block that hasn't reached the disk yet. littlefs assumes all blocks since the last ack are bad or in-flight, and uses this to know when it's out of storage. However, these unacked allocations were still being populated in the lookahead buffer. If the whole block device fits in the lookahead buffer, _and_ littlefs managed to scan around the whole storage while an unacked block was still in-flight, it would assume the block was free and misallocate it. The fix is to only fill the lookahead buffer up to the last ack. The internal free structure was restructured to simplify the runtime calculation of lookahead size.

Added disk-backed limits on the name/attrs/inline sizes Being a portable, microcontroller-scale embedded filesystem, littlefs is presented with a relatively unique challenge. The amount of RAM available is on completely different scales from machine to machine, and what is normally a reasonable RAM assumption may break completely on an embedded system. A great example of this is file names. On almost every PC these days, the limit for a file name is 255 bytes. It's a very convenient limit for a number of reasons. However, on microcontrollers, allocating 255 bytes of RAM to do a file search can be unreasonable. The simplest solution (and one that has existing in littlefs for a while), is to let this limit be redefined to a smaller value on devices that need to save RAM. However, this presents an interesting portability issue. If these devices are plugged into a PC with relatively infinite RAM, nothing stops the PC from writing files with full 255-byte file names, which can't be read on the small device. One solution here is to store this limit on the superblock during format time. When mounting a disk, the filesystem implementation is responsible for checking this limit in the superblock. If it's larger than what can be read, raise an error. If it's smaller, respect the limit on the superblock and raise an error if the user attempts to exceed it. In this commit, this strategy is adopted for file names, inline files, and the size of all attributes, since these could impact the memory consumption of the filesystem. (Recording the attribute's limit is iffy, but is the only other arbitrary limit and could be used for disabling support of custom attributes). Note! This changes makes it very important to configure littlefs correctly at format time. If littlefs is formatted on a PC without changing the limits appropriately, it will be rejected by a smaller device.

Changed how we write out superblock to use append Making the superblock look like "just another entry" allows us to treat the superblock like "just another entry" and reuse a decent amount of logic that would otherwise only be used a format and mount time.

To make this work, the ack was modified into a resetable counter that is decremented every block allocation. As a plus, quite a bit of the allocation logic ended up simplified.

lfs->free.size = 0;
lfs->free.i = 0;
Fix incorrect lookahead population before ack Rather than tracking all in-flight blocks blocks during a lookahead, littlefs uses an ack scheme to mark the first allocated block that hasn't reached the disk yet. littlefs assumes all blocks since the last ack are bad or in-flight, and uses this to know when it's out of storage. However, these unacked allocations were still being populated in the lookahead buffer. If the whole block device fits in the lookahead buffer, _and_ littlefs managed to scan around the whole storage while an unacked block was still in-flight, it would assume the block was free and misallocate it. The fix is to only fill the lookahead buffer up to the last ack. The internal free structure was restructured to simplify the runtime calculation of lookahead size.

lfs_alloc_ack(lfs);
Cleaned up block allocator Removed scanning for stride - Adds complexity with questionable benefit - Can be added as an optimization later Fixed handling around device boundaries and where lookahead may not be a factor of the device size (consider small devices with only a few blocks) Added support for configuration with optional dynamic memory as found in the caching configuration

Added the internal meta-directory structure Similarly to the internal "meta-attributes", I was finding quite a bit of need for an internal structure that mirrors the user-facing directory structure for when I need to do an operation on a metadata-pair, but don't need all of the state associated with a fully iterable directory chain. lfs_mdir_t - meta-directory, describes a single metadata-pair lfs_dir_t - directory, describes an iterable directory chain While it may seem complex to have all these structures lying around, they only complicate the code at compile time. To the machine, any number of nested structures all looks the same.

Added disk-backed limits on the name/attrs/inline sizes Being a portable, microcontroller-scale embedded filesystem, littlefs is presented with a relatively unique challenge. The amount of RAM available is on completely different scales from machine to machine, and what is normally a reasonable RAM assumption may break completely on an embedded system. A great example of this is file names. On almost every PC these days, the limit for a file name is 255 bytes. It's a very convenient limit for a number of reasons. However, on microcontrollers, allocating 255 bytes of RAM to do a file search can be unreasonable. The simplest solution (and one that has existing in littlefs for a while), is to let this limit be redefined to a smaller value on devices that need to save RAM. However, this presents an interesting portability issue. If these devices are plugged into a PC with relatively infinite RAM, nothing stops the PC from writing files with full 255-byte file names, which can't be read on the small device. One solution here is to store this limit on the superblock during format time. When mounting a disk, the filesystem implementation is responsible for checking this limit in the superblock. If it's larger than what can be read, raise an error. If it's smaller, respect the limit on the superblock and raise an error if the user attempts to exceed it. In this commit, this strategy is adopted for file names, inline files, and the size of all attributes, since these could impact the memory consumption of the filesystem. (Recording the attribute's limit is iffy, but is the only other arbitrary limit and could be used for disabling support of custom attributes). Note! This changes makes it very important to configure littlefs correctly at format time. If littlefs is formatted on a PC without changing the limits appropriately, it will be rejected by a smaller device.

Refactored deduplicate/deorphan step to single deorphan step Deduplication and deorphan steps aren't required under indentical conditions, but they can be processed in the same iteration of the filesystem. Since lfs_alloc (requires deorphan) occurs on most write calls to the filesystem (requires deduplication), it was simpler to just compine the steps into a single lfs_deorphan step. Also traded out the places where lfs_rename/lfs_remove just defer operations to the deorphan step. This adds a bit of code, but also significantly speeds up directory operations.

Changed internal functions to return tags over pointers One neat (if gimmicky) trick, is that each tag has a valid bit in the highest bit position of the 32-bit word. This is used to determine when to stop a fetch operation, but after fetch, the bit is free to use in the driver. This means we can create a typed-union of sorts with error codes and tags, returning both as the return value from a function. Say what you will about this trick, it does have a significant impact on code size. I suspect this is primarily due to the compiler having a hard time optimizing around pointer access.

Changed how we write out superblock to use append Making the superblock look like "just another entry" allows us to treat the superblock like "just another entry" and reuse a decent amount of logic that would otherwise only be used a format and mount time. In this case we can use append to write out the superblock like it was creating a new entry on the filesystem.

Add version info for software library and on-disk structures An annoying part of filesystems is that the software library can change independently of the on-disk structures. For this reason versioning is very important, and must be handled separately for the software and on-disk parts. In this patch, littlefs provides two version numbers at compile time, with major and minor parts, in the form of 6 macros. LFS_VERSION // Library version, uint32_t encoded LFS_VERSION_MAJOR // Major - Backwards incompatible changes LFS_VERSION_MINOR // Minor - Feature additions LFS_DISK_VERSION // On-disk version, uint32_t encoded LFS_DISK_VERSION_MAJOR // Major - Backwards incompatible changes LFS_DISK_VERSION_MINOR // Minor - Feature additions Note that littlefs will error if it finds a major version number that is different, or a minor version number that has regressed.

Changed type info to be retrieved from name tag instead of struct tag Originally, I had type info encoded in the struct tag. This initially made sense because the type info only directly impacts the struct tag. However this was a case of focusing too much on the details instead of the bigger picture. A more file operations need to figure out the type of a file, but it's only actually a small number of file operations that need to interact with the file's structure. For the common case, providing the type of the file early shortens operations by a full tag access. Additionally, but storing the type in the file name tag, this opens up the struct tag to use those bits for storing more struct descriptions.

The simplest solution (and one that has existing in littlefs for a while), is to let this limit be redefined to a smaller value on devices that need to save RAM. However, this presents an interesting portability issue. If these devices are plugged into a PC with relatively infinite RAM, nothing stops the PC from writing files with full 255-byte file names, which can't be read on the small device. One solution here is to store this limit on the superblock during format time. When mounting a disk, the filesystem implementation is responsible for checking this limit in the superblock. If it's larger than what can be read, raise an error. If it's smaller, respect the limit on the superblock and raise an error if the user attempts to exceed it. In this commit, this strategy is adopted for file names, inline files, and the size of all attributes, since these could impact the memory consumption of the filesystem. (Recording the attribute's limit is iffy, but is the only other arbitrary limit and could be used for disabling support of custom attributes). Note! This changes makes it very important to configure littlefs correctly at format time. If littlefs is formatted on a PC without changing the limits appropriately, it will be rejected by a smaller device.

Switched back to simple deorphan-step on directory remove Originally I tried to reuse the indirect delete to accomplish truely atomic directory removes, however this fell apart when it came to implementing directory removes as a side-effect of renames. A single indirect-delete simply can't handle renames with removes as a side effects. When copying an entry to its destination, we need to atomically delete both the old entry, and the source of our copy. We can't delete both with only a single indirect-delete. It is possible to accomplish this with two indirect-deletes, but this is such an uncommon case that it's really not worth supporting efficiently due to how expensive globals are. I also dropped indirect-deletes for normal directory removes. I may add it back later, but at the moment it's extra code cost for that's not traveled very often. As a result, restructured the indirect delete handling to be a bit more generic, now with a multipurpose lfs_globals_t struct instead of the delete specific lfs_entry_t struct. Also worked on integrating xored-globals, now with several primitive global operations to manage fetching/updating globals on disk.

Refactored deduplicate/deorphan step to single deorphan step Deduplication and deorphan steps aren't required under indentical conditions, but they can be processed in the same iteration of the filesystem. Since lfs_alloc (requires deorphan) occurs on most write calls to the filesystem (requires deduplication), it was simpler to just compine the steps into a single lfs_deorphan step. Also traded out the places where lfs_rename/lfs_remove just defer operations to the deorphan step. This adds a bit of code, but also significantly speeds up directory operations.

Added full dir list and rudimentary block allocator In writing the initial allocator, I ran into the rather difficult problem of trying to iterate through the entire filesystem cheaply and with only constant memory consumption (which prohibits recursive functions). The solution was to simply thread all directory blocks onto a massive linked-list that spans the entire filesystem. With the linked-list it was easy to create a traverse function for all blocks in use on the filesystem (which has potential for other utility), and add the rudimentary block allocator using a bit-vector. While the linked-list may add complexity (especially where needing to maintain atomic operations), the linked-list helps simplify what is currently the most expensive operation in the filesystem, with no cost to space (the linked-list can reuse the pointers used for chained directory blocks).

Added optional block-level caching This adds caching of the most recent read/program blocks, allowing support of devices that don't have byte-level read+writes, along with reduced device access on devices that do support byte-level read+writes. Note: The current implementation is a bit eager to drop caches where it simplifies the cache layer. This layer is already complex enough. Note: It may be worthwhile to add a compile switch for caching to reduce code size, note sure. Note: This does add a dependency on malloc, which could have a porting layer, but I'm just using the functions from stdlib for now. These can be overwritten with noops if the user controls the system, and keeps things simple for now.

This means we can create a typed-union of sorts with error codes and tags, returning both as the return value from a function.

Added support for handling corrupted blocks This provides a limited form of wear leveling. While wear is not actually balanced across blocks, the filesystem can recover from corrupted blocks and extend the lifetime of a device nearly as much as dynamic wear leveling. For use-cases where wear is important, it would be better to use a full form of dynamic wear-leveling at the block level. (or consider a logging filesystem). Corrupted block handling was simply added on top of the existing logic in place for the filesystem, so it's a bit more noodly than it may have to be, but it gets the work done.

Added proper handling of orphans Unfortunately, threading all dir blocks in a linked-list did not come without problems. While it's possible to atomically add a dir to the linked list (by adding the new dir into the linked-list position immediately after it's parent, requiring only one atomic update to the parent block), it is not easy to make sure the linked-list is in a state that always allows atomic removal of dirs. The simple solution is to allow this non-atomic removal, with an additional step to remove any orphans that could have been created by a power-loss. This deorphan step is only run if the normal allocator has failed.

Shrinked on-disk directory program size Directories still consume two full erase blocks, but now only program the exact on-disk region to store the directory contents. This results in a decent improvement in the amount of data written and read to the device when doing directory operations. Calculating the checksum of dynamically sized data is surprisingly tricky, since the size of the data could also contain errors. For the littlefs, we can assume the data size must fit in an erase block. If the data size is invalid, we can just treat the block as corrupted.

Expanded inline files up to a limit of 1023 bytes One of the big benefits of inline files is that small files no longer need to take up a full block. This opens up an opportunity to provide much better support for storage devices with only a handful of very large blocks. Such as the internal flash found on most microcontrollers. After investigating some use cases for a filesystem on internal flash, it has become apparent that the 255-byte limit is going to be too restrictive to be useful in many cases. Most uses I found needed files ~4-64 bytes in size, but it wasn't uncommon to find files ~512 bytes in length. To try to remedy this, I've pushed the 255 byte limit up to 1023 bytes, by stealing some bits from the previously-unused attributes's size. Unfortunately this limits attributes to 63 bytes in total and has a minor code cost, but I'm not sure even 1023 bytes will be sufficient for a lot of cases. The littlefs will probably never be as efficient with internal flash as other filesystems such as SPIFFS, it just wasn't designed for this sort of limited geometry. However, this feature has been heavily requested, even with limitations, because of the opportunity for code reuse on microcontrollers with both internal and external flash.

While the linked-list may add complexity (especially where needing to maintain atomic operations), the linked-list helps simplify what is currently the most expensive operation in the filesystem, with no cost to space (the linked-list can reuse the pointers used for chained directory blocks).

Introduced xored-globals logic to fix fundamental problem with moves This was a big roadblock for a while: with the new feature of inlined files, the existing move logic was fundamentally flawed. To pull off atomic moves between two different metadata-pairs, littlefs uses a simple, if a bit clumsy trick. 1. Marks entry as "moving" 2. Copies entry to new metadata-pair 3. Deletes old entry If power is lost before the move operation is completed, we will find the "moving" tag. This means there may or may not be an incomplete move on the filesystem. In this case, we simply search for the moved entry, if we find it, we remove the old entry, otherwise we just remove the "moving" tag. This worked perfectly, until we introduced inlined files. See, unlike the existing directory and ctz entries, inlined files have no guarantee they are unique. There is nothing we can search for that will allow us to find a moved file unless we assign entries globally-unique ids. (note that moves are fundamentally rename operations, so searching for names does not make sense). --- Solving this problem required completely restructuring how littlefs handled moves and pulled out a really old idea that had been left in the cutting room floor back when littlefs was going through many designs: xored-globals. The problem xored-globals solves is the need to maintain some global state via commits to these distributed, independent metadata-pairs. The idea is that we can use some sort of symmetric operation, such as xor, to introduces deltas of the global state that can be committed atomically along with any other info to these metadata-pairs. This means that to figure out our global state, we xor together the global delta stored in every metadata-pair. Which means any commit can update the global state atomically, opening up a whole new set atomic possibilities. There is a couple of downsides. These globals may end up with deltas on every single metadata-pair, effectively duplicating the data for each block. Additionally, these globals need to have multiple copies in RAM. This means and globals need to be a bounded size and very small, since even small globals will have a large footprint. --- On top of xored-globals, it's trivial to fix our move logic. Here we've added an indirect delete tag which allows us to atomically specify a delete of any entry on the filesystem. Our move operation is now: 1. Copy entry to new metadata-pair and atomically xor globals to indirectly delete our original entry. 2. Delete the original entry and xor globals to remove the indirect delete. Extra exciting is that this now takes our relatively clumsy move operation into a sexy guaranteed O(1) move operation with no searching necessary (though we do need to xor globals during mount). Also reintroduced entry struct, now with a specific purpose to describe the metadata-pair + id combo needed by indirect deletes to locate an entry.

Changed internal functions to return tags over pointers One neat (if gimmicky) trick, is that each tag has a valid bit in the highest bit position of the 32-bit word. This is used to determine when to stop a fetch operation, but after fetch, the bit is free to use in the driver. This means we can create a typed-union of sorts with error codes and tags, returning both as the return value from a function. Say what you will about this trick, it does have a significant impact on code size. I suspect this is primarily due to the compiler having a hard time optimizing around pointer access.

It's a little bit trickier because pair ordering isn't guaranteed. But to work around that we can simply search for both pair orderings. It's a bit more expensive but may be worth the code savings.

Added proper handling of orphans Unfortunately, threading all dir blocks in a linked-list did not come without problems. While it's possible to atomically add a dir to the linked list (by adding the new dir into the linked-list position immediately after it's parent, requiring only one atomic update to the parent block), it is not easy to make sure the linked-list is in a state that always allows atomic removal of dirs. The simple solution is to allow this non-atomic removal, with an additional step to remove any orphans that could have been created by a power-loss. This deorphan step is only run if the normal allocator has failed.

Modified results from find-like functions to use tags Tags offer all of the necessary info from the find functions (which makes sense, this is the structure that stores the info on disk). Passing around a single tag instead of separate id and type fields simplifies the internal functions while leverages the tag's compactness.

Added support for handling corrupted blocks This provides a limited form of wear leveling. While wear is not actually balanced across blocks, the filesystem can recover from corrupted blocks and extend the lifetime of a device nearly as much as dynamic wear leveling. For use-cases where wear is important, it would be better to use a full form of dynamic wear-leveling at the block level. (or consider a logging filesystem). Corrupted block handling was simply added on top of the existing logic in place for the filesystem, so it's a bit more noodly than it may have to be, but it gets the work done.

Moved to brute-force deorphan without parent pointers Removing the dependency to the parent pointer solves many issues with non-atomic updates of children's parent pointers with respect to any move operations. However, this comes with an embarrassingly terrible runtime as the only other option is to exhaustively check every dir entry to find a child's parent. Fortunately, deorphaning should be a relatively rare operation.
2017-04-14 22:33:36 +00:00
}
Added proper handling of orphans Unfortunately, threading all dir blocks in a linked-list did not come without problems. While it's possible to atomically add a dir to the linked list (by adding the new dir into the linked-list position immediately after it's parent, requiring only one atomic update to the parent block), it is not easy to make sure the linked-list is in a state that always allows atomic removal of dirs. The simple solution is to allow this non-atomic removal, with an additional step to remove any orphans that could have been created by a power-loss. This deorphan step is only run if the normal allocator has failed.

Switched back to simple deorphan-step on directory remove Originally I tried to reuse the indirect delete to accomplish truely atomic directory removes, however this fell apart when it came to implementing directory removes as a side-effect of renames. A single indirect-delete simply can't handle renames with removes as a side effects. When copying an entry to its destination, we need to atomically delete both the old entry, and the source of our copy. We can't delete both with only a single indirect-delete. It is possible to accomplish this with two indirect-deletes, but this is such an uncommon case that it's really not worth supporting efficiently due to how expensive globals are. I also dropped indirect-deletes for normal directory removes. I may add it back later, but at the moment it's extra code cost for that's not traveled very often. As a result, restructured the indirect delete handling to be a bit more generic, now with a multipurpose lfs_globals_t struct instead of the delete specific lfs_entry_t struct. Also worked on integrating xored-globals, now with several primitive global operations to manage fetching/updating globals on disk.

// we have desynced
Introduced xored-globals logic to fix fundamental problem with moves This was a big roadblock for a while: with the new feature of inlined files, the existing move logic was fundamentally flawed. To pull off atomic moves between two different metadata-pairs, littlefs uses a simple, if a bit clumsy trick. 1. Marks entry as "moving" 2. Copies entry to new metadata-pair 3. Deletes old entry If power is lost before the move operation is completed, we will find the "moving" tag. This means there may or may not be an incomplete move on the filesystem. In this case, we simply search for the moved entry, if we find it, we remove the old entry, otherwise we just remove the "moving" tag. This worked perfectly, until we introduced inlined files. See, unlike the existing directory and ctz entries, inlined files have no guarantee they are unique. There is nothing we can search for that will allow us to find a moved file unless we assign entries globally-unique ids. (note that moves are fundamentally rename operations, so searching for names does not make sense). --- Solving this problem required completely restructuring how littlefs handled moves and pulled out a really old idea that had been left in the cutting room floor back when littlefs was going through many designs: xored-globals. The problem xored-globals solves is the need to maintain some global state via commits to these distributed, independent metadata-pairs. The idea is that we can use some sort of symmetric operation, such as xor, to introduces deltas of the global state that can be committed atomically along with any other info to these metadata-pairs. This means that to figure out our global state, we xor together the global delta stored in every metadata-pair. Which means any commit can update the global state atomically, opening up a whole new set atomic possibilities. There is a couple of downsides. These globals may end up with deltas on every single metadata-pair, effectively duplicating the data for each block. Additionally, these globals need to have multiple copies in RAM. This means and globals need to be a bounded size and very small, since even small globals will have a large footprint. --- On top of xored-globals, it's trivial to fix our move logic. Here we've added an indirect delete tag which allows us to atomically specify a delete of any entry on the filesystem. Our move operation is now: 1. Copy entry to new metadata-pair and atomically xor globals to indirectly delete our original entry. 2. Delete the original entry and xor globals to remove the indirect delete. Extra exciting is that this now takes our relatively clumsy move operation into a sexy guaranteed O(1) move operation with no searching necessary (though we do need to xor globals during mount). Also reintroduced entry struct, now with a specific purpose to describe the metadata-pair + id combo needed by indirect deletes to locate an entry.

Added the internal meta-directory structure Similarly to the internal "meta-attributes", I was finding quite a bit of need for an internal structure that mirrors the user-facing directory structure for when I need to do an operation on a metadata-pair, but don't need all of the state associated with a fully iterable directory chain. lfs_mdir_t - meta-directory, describes a single metadata-pair lfs_dir_t - directory, describes an iterable directory chain While it may seem complex to have all these structures lying around, they only complicate the code at compile time. To the machine, any number of nested structures all looks the same.

Reorganized the internal operations to make more sense Also refactored lfs_dir_compact a bit, adding begin and end as arguments since they simplify a bit of the logic and can be found out much easier earlier in the commit logic. Also changed add -> append and drop -> delete and cleaned up some of the logic around there.

Renamed lfs_entry_t -> lfs_mattr_t Attributes are used to describe more than just entries, so calling these list of attributes "entries" was inaccurate. However, the name "attributes" would conflict with "user attributes", user-facing attributes with a very similar purpose. "user attributes" must be kept distinct due to differences in binary layout (internal attributes can use a more compact tag+buffer representation, but expecting users to jump through hoops to get their data to look like that isn't very user-friendly). Decided to go with "mattr" as shorthand for "meta-attributes", similar to "metadata".

Consolidated find/parent scanning functions An interesting observation about the find and parent scanning functions is that at their core, they're both actually doing the same operation. They search a metadata-pair during fetch for an entry uses the entry data instead of the entry tag. This means we can combine these functions and get a decent code savings. It's a little bit trickier because pair ordering isn't guaranteed. But to work around that we can simply search for both pair orderings. It's a bit more expensive but may be worth the code savings. A fancier implementation in the future can avoid the 2x lfs_parent scans.

Added lfs_fs_size for finding a count of used blocks This has existed for some time in the form of the lfs_traverse function, through which a user could provide a simple callback that would just count the number of blocks lfs_traverse finds. However, this approach is relatively unconventional and has proven to be confusing for most users.

Adopted EISDIR as internal error for root path as argument Unfortunately, it's hard to make directory lookups for root not a special case, and we don't like special cases when we're trying to keep code size small. Since there are a handful of code paths where opening root should return EISDIR (such as lfs_file_open("/")), using EISDIR to note that the argument is in fact a path to the root. This is needed because we no longer look up an entries contents in lfs_dir_find for free, since entries are more ephemeral.
