ext3: handle corrupted orphan list at mount

2008-07-25T17:53:32+00:00

If the orphan node list includes valid, untruncatable nodes with nlink > 0
the ext3_orphan_cleanup loop which attempts to delete them will not do so,
causing it to loop forever. Fix by checking for such nodes in the
ext3_orphan_get function.

This patch fixes the second case (image hdb.20000009.softlockup.gz)
reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10882.

iget: stop EXT3 from using iget() and read_inode()

2008-02-07T16:42:27+00:00

Stop the EXT3 filesystem from using iget() and read_inode().  Replace
ext3_read_inode() with ext3_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
ext3_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
instead of an inode in the event of an error.

ext3_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.

Fix 64KB blocksize in ext3 directories

2007-11-15T02:45:43+00:00

With 64KB blocksize, a directory entry can have size 64KB which does not
fit into 16 bits we have for entry lenght.  So we store 0xffff instead and
convert value when read from / written to disk.  The patch also converts
some places to use ext3_next_entry() when we are changing them anyway.

ext3: support large blocksize up to PAGESIZE

2007-10-18T21:37:29+00:00

This patch set supports large block size(>4k, <=64k) in ext3 just enlarging
the block size limit.  But it is NOT possible to have 64kB blocksize on
ext3 without some changes to the directory handling code.  The reason is
that an empty 64kB directory block would have a rec_len == (__u16)2^16 ==
0, and this would cause an error to be hit in the filesystem.  The proposed
solution is treat 64k rec_len with a an impossible value like rec_len =
0xffff to handle this.

The Patch-set consists of the following 2 patches.
  [1/2]  ext3: enlarge blocksize
         - Allow blocksize up to pagesize

  [2/2]  ext3: fix rec_len overflow
         - prevent rec_len from overflow with 64KB blocksize

Now on 64k page ppc64 box runs with this patch set we could create a 64k
block size ext3, and able to handle empty directory block.

ext3: remove #ifdef CONFIG_EXT3_INDEX

2007-10-17T15:43:01+00:00

CONFIG_EXT3_INDEX is not an exposed config option in the kernel, and it is
unconditionally defined in ext3_fs.h.  tune2fs is already able to turn off
dir indexing, so at this point it's just cluttering up the code.  Remove
it.

ext3: copy i_flags to inode flags on write

2007-05-08T18:15:12+00:00

A patch that stores inode flags such as S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc.  from
i_flags to EXT3_I(inode)->i_flags when inode is written to disk.  The same
thing is done on GETFLAGS ioctl.

Quota code changes these flags on quota files (to make it harder for
sysadmin to screw himself) and these changes were not correctly propagated
into the filesystem (especially, lsattr did not show them and users were
wondering...).

Propagate flags such as S_APPEND, S_IMMUTABLE, etc.  from i_flags into
ext3-specific i_flags.  Hence, when someone sets these flags via a
different interface than ioctl, they are stored correctly.

[PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 3

2007-02-12T17:48:46+00:00

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Move common FS-specific ioctls from linux/ext2_fs.h to linux/fs.h as FS_IOC_*

Also move the GETFLAGS/SETFLAGS flags to linux/fs.h as FS_*_FL macros, and then
have the other users use them as a base.
