ext4: don't set i_flags in EXT4_IOC_SETFLAGS

2012-06-09T15:33:05+00:00

commit b22b1f178f6799278d3178d894f37facb2085765 upstream.

Commit 7990696 uses the ext4_{set,clear}_inode_flags() functions to
change the i_flags automatically but fails to remove the error setting
of i_flags.  So we still have the problem of trashing state flags.
Fix this by removing the assignment.

ext4: don't trash state flags in EXT4_IOC_SETFLAGS

2012-06-09T15:33:04+00:00

commit 79906964a187c405db72a3abc60eb9b50d804fbc upstream.

In commit 353eb83c we removed i_state_flags with 64-bit longs, But
when handling the EXT4_IOC_SETFLAGS ioctl, we replace i_flags
directly, which trashes the state flags which are stored in the high
32-bits of i_flags on 64-bit platforms.  So use the the
ext4_{set,clear}_inode_flags() functions which use atomic bit
manipulation functions instead.

ext4: add FITRIM to compat_ioctl.

2011-03-21T03:16:58+00:00

FITRIM isn't added in compat_ioctl. So a 32 bit program can't be executed
in a 64 bit platform. Add it in the compat_ioctl.

ext4: Adjust minlen with discard_granularity in the FITRIM ioctl

2011-02-23T22:49:51+00:00

Discard granularity tells us the minimum size of extent that can be
discarded by the device.  If the user supplies a minimum extent that
should be discarded (range.minlen) which is smaller than the discard
granularity, increase minlen to the discard granularity, since there's
no point submitting trim requests that the device will reject anyway.

ext4: check if device support discard in FITRIM ioctl

2011-02-23T17:42:32+00:00

For a device that does not support discard, the FITRIM ioctl returns
-EOPNOTSUPP when blkdev_issue_discard() returns this error code, which
is how the user is informed that the device does not support discard.

If there are no suitable free extents to be trimmed, then FITRIM will
return success even though the device does not support discard, which
could confuse the user.  So check explicitly if the device supports
discard and return an error code at the beginning of the FITRIM ioctl
processing.

ext4: Add EXT4_IOC_TRIM ioctl to handle batched discard

2010-11-20T02:47:07+00:00

Filesystem independent ioctl was rejected as not common enough to be in
core vfs ioctl. Since we still need to access to this functionality this
commit adds ext4 specific ioctl EXT4_IOC_TRIM to dispatch
ext4_trim_fs().

It takes fstrim_range structure as an argument. fstrim_range is definec in
the include/linux/fs.h and its definition is as follows.

struct fstrim_range {
	__u64 start;
	__u64 len;
	__u64 minlen;
}

start	- first Byte to trim
len	- number of Bytes to trim from start
minlen	- minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this
  number of Bytes will be ignored. This will be rounded up to fs
  block size.

After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored
in fstrim_range.len to give the user better insight on how much storage
space has been really released for wear-leveling.

ext4: Fix compat EXT4_IOC_ADD_GROUP

2010-05-17T10:00:00+00:00

struct ext4_new_group_input needs to be converted because u64 has
only 32-bit alignment on some 32-bit architectures, notably i386.
