xfs: simplify XLOG_SECTOR_ROUND*()
XLOG_SECTOR_ROUNDUP_BBCOUNT() is defined in "fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c" in an overly-complicated way. It is basically roundup(), but that is not at all clear from its definition. (Actually, there is another macro round_up() that applies for power-of-two-based masks which I'll be using here.) The operands in XLOG_SECTOR_ROUNDUP_BBCOUNT() are basically the block number (bbs) and the log sector basic block mask (log->l_sectbb_mask). I'll call them B and M for this discussion. The macro computes is value this way: M && (B & M) ? (B + M + 1) & ~M : B Put another way, we can break it into 3 cases: 1) ! M -> B # 0 mask, no effect 2) ! (B & M) -> B # sector aligned 3) M && (B & M) -> (B + M + 1) & ~M # round up otherwise The round_up() macro is cleverly defined using a value, v, and a power-of-2, p, and the result is the nearest multiple of p greater than or equal to v. Its value is computed something like this: ((v - 1) | (p - 1)) + 1 Let's consider using this in the context of the 3 cases above. When p = 2^0 = 1, the result boils down to ((v - 1) | 0) + 1, so it just translates any value v to itself. That handles case (1) above. When p = 2^n, n > 0, we know that (p - 1) will be a mask with all n bits 0..n-1 set. The condition in this case occurs when none of those mask bits is set in the value v provided. If that is the case, subtracting 1 from v will have 1's in all those lower bits (at least). Therefore, OR-ing the mask with that decremented value has no effect, so adding the 1 back again will just translate the v to itself. This handles case (2). Otherwise, the value v is greater than some multiple of p, and decrementing it will produce a result greater than or equal to that multiple. OR-ing in the mask will produce a value 1 less than the next multiple of p, so finally adding 1 back will result in the desired rounded-up value. This handles case (3). Hopefully this is convincing. While I was at it, I converted XLOG_SECTOR_ROUNDDOWN_BLKNO() to use the round_down() macro.
