$Id: TODO,v 1.9 2002/07/11 10:39:04 dwmw2 Exp $ - disable compression in commit_write()? - fine-tune the allocation / GC thresholds - chattr support - turning on/off and tuning compression per-inode - checkpointing (do we need this? scan is quite fast) - make the scan code populate real inodes so read_inode just after mount doesn't have to read the flash twice for large files. Make this a per-inode option, changable with chattr, so you can decide which inodes should be in-core immediately after mount. - test, test, test - NAND flash support: - flush_wbuf using GC to fill it, don't just pad. - Deal with write errors. Data don't get lost - we just have to write the affected node(s) out again somewhere else. - make fsync flush only if actually required - make sys_sync() work. - reboot notifier - timed flush of old wbuf - fix magical second arg of jffs2_flush_wbuf(). Split into two or more functions instead. - Optimisations: - Stop GC from decompressing and immediately recompressing nodes which could just be copied intact. - Furthermore, in the case where it could be copied intact we don't even need to call iget() for it -- if we use (raw_node_raw->flash_offset & 2) as a flag to show a node can be copied intact and it's _not_ in icache, we could just do it, fix up the next_in_ino list and move on. We would need a way to find out _whether_ it's in icache though -- if it's in icache we also need to do the fragment lists, etc. P'raps a flag or pointer in the jffs2_inode_cache could help. - Stop keeping name in-core with struct jffs2_full_dirent. If we keep the hash in the full dirent, we only need to go to the flash in lookup() when we think we've got a match, and in readdir(). - Doubly-linked next_in_ino list to allow us to free obsoleted raw_node_refs immediately? - Remove totlen from jffs2_raw_node_ref? Need to have totlen passed into jffs2_mark_node_obsolete(). Can all callers work it out? - Don't check data CRC on node scan during mount. We don't really need to know yet. This means we can't build up node fragment lists, and hence can't build accurate clean/dirty information. But we don't _need_ that for reading, only for writing. And in fact we don't even need it for writing until we start to need GC.
