The intention is to help interop with older minor versions of littlefs.
Unfortunately, since lfs2.0 drivers cannot mount lfs2.1 images, there are
situations where it would be useful to write to write strictly lfs2.0
compatible images. The solution here adds a "disk_version" configuration
option which determines the behavior of lfs2.1 dependent features.
Normally you would expect this to only change write behavior. But since the
main change in lfs2.1 increased validation of erased data, we also need to
skip this extra validation (fcrc) or see terrible slowdowns when writing.
In terms of ease-of-use, a user familiar with other filesystems expects
block_usage in fsinfo. But in terms of practicality, block_usage can be
expensive to find in littlefs, so if it's not needed in the resulting
fsinfo, that operation is wasteful.
It's not clear to me what the best course of action is, but since
block_usage can always be added to fsinfo later, but not removed without
breaking backwards compatibility, I'm leaving this out for now.
Block usage can still be found by explicitly calling lfs_fs_size.
Version are now returned with major/minor packed into 32-bits,
so 0x00020001 is the current disk version, for example.
1. This needed to change to use a disk_* prefix for consistency with the
defines that already exist for LFS_VERSION/LFS_DISK_VERSION.
2. Encoding the version this way has the nice side effect of making 0 an
invalid value. This is useful for adding a similar config option
that needs to have reasonable default behavior for backwards
compatibility.
In theory this uses more space, but in practice most other config/status
is 32-bits in littlefs. We would be wasting this space for alignment
anyways.
Currently this includes:
- minor_version - on-disk minor version
- block_usage - estimated number of in-use blocks
- name_max - configurable name limit
- file_max - configurable file limit
- attr_max - configurable attr limit
These are currently the only configuration operations that need to be
written to disk. Other configuration is either needed to mount, such as
block_size, or does not change the on-disk representation, such as
read/prog_size.
This also includes the current block usage, which is common in other
filesystems, though a more expensive to find in littlefs. I figure it's
not unreasonable to make lfs_fs_stat no worse than block allocation,
hopefully this isn't a mistake. It may be worth caching the current
usage after the most recent lookahead scan.
More configuration may be added to this struct in the future.
- Fixed prettyasserts.py parsing when '->' is in expr
- Made prettyasserts.py failures not crash (yay dynamic typing)
- Fixed the initial state of the emubd disk file to match the internal
state in RAM
- Fixed true/false getting changed to True/False in test.py/bench.py
defines
- Fixed accidental substring matching in plot.py's --by comparison
- Fixed a missed LFS_BLOCk_CYCLES in test_superblocks.toml that was
missed
- Changed test.py/bench.py -v to only show commands being run
Including the test output is still possible with test.py -v -O-, making
the implicit inclusion redundant and noisy.
- Added license comments to bench_runner/test_runner
The main benefit is small test ids everywhere, though this is with the
downside of needing longer names to properly prefix and avoid
collisions. But this fits into the rest of the scripts with globally
unique names a bit better. This is a C project after all.
The other small benefit is test generators may have an easier time since
per-case symbols can expect to be unique.
This mostly required names for each test case, declarations of
previously-implicit variables since the new test framework is more
conservative with what it declares (the small extra effort to add
declarations is well worth the simplicity and improved readability),
and tweaks to work with not-really-constant defines.
Also renamed test_ -> test, replacing the old ./scripts/test.py,
unfortunately git seems to have had a hard time with this.
With the superblock expansion stuff, the test_format tests have grown
to test more advanced superblock-related features. This is fine but
deserves a rename so it's more clear.
Also fixed a typo that meant tests never ran with block cycles.
