[PATCH] fs: ufs: Remove switch statement from ufs_set_de_type function

[Phillip Potter]

Remove switch statement from ufs_set_de_type function in fs/ufs/util.h
header and replace with simple assignment. For each case, S_IFx >> 12
is equal to DT_x, so in valid cases (mode & S_IFMT) >> 12 should give
us the correct file type. This is verified at compile-time with
BUILD_BUG_ON macro calls. For invalid cases, upper layer validation
catches this anyway, so this improves readability and arguably
performance by assigning (mode & S_IFMT) >> 12 directly.

Yes. If you are looking for a cleanup task, you can
apply relevant patches from my series, starting with:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9481237/
(Leave the xfs patch [11/11] out)

But besides verifying that patches still apply and build,
you will need to address the concerns of fs maintainers.
Take for example the btrfs patch:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9480725/

It says:
+ *
+ * Values 0..7 should match common file type values in file_type.h.
  */
 #define BTRFS_FT_UNKNOWN 0
 #define BTRFS_FT_REG_FILE 1

But that is not enough.
When converting code to use the generic defines FT_*, instead of
filesystem defined we need to leave in the code build time assertions
that will catch an attempt to change fs contancts in the future, e.g.:

static inline u8 btrfs_inode_type(struct inode *inode)
 {
- return btrfs_type_by_mode[(inode->i_mode & S_IFMT) >> S_SHIFT];
+ BUILD_BUG_ON(BTRFS_FT_UNKNOWN != FT_UNKNOWN);
+ BUILD_BUG_ON(BTRFS_FT_REG_FILE != FT_REG_FILE);
...
+ return fs_umode_to_ftype(inode->i_mode);
 }

Same should be done for all relevant filesystems.
Then you need to hope that fs maintainers will like this cleanup and
want to take the patches ;-)

Cheers,
Amir.

I only changed this code in the first place because of the comment in the code -
I was looking for things to do basically, and this caught my eye because I play
with FreeBSD now and then which of course uses UFS. I didn't consider any use
to the other filesystems - by re-spin do you just mean fix up and make sure
the kernel still builds etc?

I've tried to do that 2 years ago, not even for readability, but to
fix a lurking
bug in conversion table implementation that was copy&pasted from ext2 to
many other fs:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=148217829301701&w=2
https://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&w=2&r=1&s=amir73il+file+type+conversion&q=b

The push back from ext4/xfs maintainers was that while all fs use common
values to encode d_type in on disk format, those on-disk format values
are private to the fs.

Eventually, the fix that got merged (only to xfs) did the opposite, it converted
the conversion table lookup to a switch statement:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=148243866204444&w=2

Some fs maintainers were happy about the initial version, but I did not
pursue pushing that cleanup:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=148243866204444&w=2

Phillip, you are welcome to re-spin those patches if you like.
Note that the generic conversion helpers do not rely on upper layer
to catch invalid mode values.

Cheers,
Amir.

Do what for other filesystems?  E.g. ext* has the type cached in directory
entry - as a straight enum, so encoding is needed.  Which we do.  ocfs2
is pretty certain to have it in ext*-compatible layout.  ubifs stores
them in another enum of its own (also handled).  XFS - another enum (present
on some layout variants), etc.

And... CIFS?  Seriously?  This stuff is about encoding used to cache the
file type in directory entry; how the bleeding hell would CIFS _client_
get anywhere near that?

Shouldn't we also do this for other filesystems?  A quick scan suggests
someone should at least look at xfs, ubifs, squashfs, romfs, ocfs2,
nilfs2, hfsplus, f2fs, ext4, ext2, exofs, coda, cifs & btrfs.

[PATCH] fs: ufs: Remove switch statement from ufs_set_de_type function

[Phillip Potter]

Remove switch statement from ufs_set_de_type function in fs/ufs/util.h
header and replace with simple assignment. For each case, S_IFx >> 12
is equal to DT_x, so in valid cases (mode & S_IFMT) >> 12 should give
us the correct file type. It is expected that for *nix compatibility
reasons, the relation between S_IFx and DT_x will not change. For
cases where the mode is invalid, upper layer validation catches this
anyway, so this improves readability and arguably performance by
assigning (mode & S_IFMT) >> 12 directly without any jump table
or conditional logic.

They are.  BSD folks had (sanely, IMO) put the 'type' bits of st_mode
into directory entry verbatim.  Again, "symbolic constant" != "can be
expected to change"...  If, e.g., some port decides to change S_IFIFO,
they'll have no end of fun accessing ext*, xfs, ufs, etc. since that
value is stored in the on-disk inode and in effect pinned down by
that.

All S_... constants are universal and going to remain unchanged on
any Unices.

This requires that the two sets of constants are correctly aligned.
If they aren't defined in terms of each other then you probably
ought to add compile-time asserts that the values match.

[PATCH] fs: ufs: Remove switch statement from ufs_set_de_type function

[Phillip Potter]

Remove switch statement from ufs_set_de_type function in fs/ufs/util.h
header and replace with simple assignment. For each case, S_IFx >> 12
is equal to DT_x, so in valid cases (mode & S_IFMT) >> 12 should give
us the correct file type. For invalid cases, upper layer validation
catches this anyway, so this improves readability and arguably
performance by assigning (mode & S_IFMT) >> 12 directly.
