Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

+[LICENSING] 
+
+ReiserFS is hereby licensed under the GNU General
+Public License version 2.
+
+Source code files that contain the phrase "licensing governed by
+reiserfs/README" are "governed files" throughout this file.  Governed
+files are licensed under the GPL.  The portions of them owned by Hans
+Reiser, or authorized to be licensed by him, have been in the past,
+and likely will be in the future, licensed to other parties under
+other licenses.  If you add your code to governed files, and don't
+want it to be owned by Hans Reiser, put your copyright label on that
+code so the poor blight and his customers can keep things straight.
+All portions of governed files not labeled otherwise are owned by Hans
+Reiser, and by adding your code to it, widely distributing it to
+others or sending us a patch, and leaving the sentence in stating that
+licensing is governed by the statement in this file, you accept this.
+It will be a kindness if you identify whether Hans Reiser is allowed
+to license code labeled as owned by you on your behalf other than
+under the GPL, because he wants to know if it is okay to do so and put
+a check in the mail to you (for non-trivial improvements) when he
+makes his next sale.  He makes no guarantees as to the amount if any,
+though he feels motivated to motivate contributors, and you can surely
+discuss this with him before or after contributing.  You have the
+right to decline to allow him to license your code contribution other
+than under the GPL.
+
+Further licensing options are available for commercial and/or other
+interests directly from Hans Reiser: hans@reiser.to.  If you interpret
+the GPL as not allowing those additional licensing options, you read
+it wrongly, and Richard Stallman agrees with me, when carefully read
+you can see that those restrictions on additional terms do not apply
+to the owner of the copyright, and my interpretation of this shall
+govern for this license.  
+
+Finally, nothing in this license shall be interpreted to allow you to
+fail to fairly credit me, or to remove my credits, without my
+permission, unless you are an end user not redistributing to others.
+If you have doubts about how to properly do that, or about what is
+fair, ask.  (Last I spoke with him Richard was contemplating how best
+to address the fair crediting issue in the next GPL version.)
+
+[END LICENSING]
+
+Reiserfs is a file system based on balanced tree algorithms, which is
+described at http://devlinux.com/namesys.
+
+Stop reading here.  Go there, then return.
+
+Send bug reports to yura@namesys.botik.ru.
+
+mkreiserfs and other utilities are in reiserfs/utils, or wherever your
+Linux provider put them.  There is some disagreement about how useful
+it is for users to get their fsck and mkreiserfs out of sync with the
+version of reiserfs that is in their kernel, with many important
+distributors wanting them out of sync.:-) Please try to remember to
+recompile and reinstall fsck and mkreiserfs with every update of
+reiserfs, this is a common source of confusion.  Note that some of the
+utilities cannot be compiled without accessing the balancing code
+which is in the kernel code, and relocating the utilities may require
+you to specify where that code can be found.
+
+Yes, if you update your reiserfs kernel module you do have to
+recompile your kernel, most of the time.  The errors you get will be
+quite cryptic if your forget to do so.
+
+Real users, as opposed to folks who want to hack and then understand
+what went wrong, will want REISERFS_CHECK off.
+
+Hideous Commercial Pitch: Spread your development costs across other OS
+vendors.  Select from the best in the world, not the best in your
+building, by buying from third party OS component suppliers.  Leverage
+the software component development power of the internet.  Be the most
+aggressive in taking advantage of the commercial possibilities of
+decentralized internet development, and add value through your branded
+integration that you sell as an operating system.  Let your competitors
+be the ones to compete against the entire internet by themselves.  Be
+hip, get with the new economic trend, before your competitors do.  Send
+email to hans@reiser.to.
+
+To understand the code, after reading the website, start reading the
+code by reading reiserfs_fs.h first.
+
+Hans Reiser was the project initiator, primary architect, source of all
+funding for the first 5.5 years, and one of the programmers.  He owns
+the copyright.
+
+Vladimir Saveljev was one of the programmers, and he worked long hours
+writing the cleanest code.  He always made the effort to be the best he
+could be, and to make his code the best that it could be.  What resulted
+was quite remarkable. I don't think that money can ever motivate someone
+to work the way he did, he is one of the most selfless men I know.
+
+Yura helps with benchmarking, coding hashes, and block pre-allocation
+code.
+
+Anatoly Pinchuk is a former member of our team who worked closely with
+Vladimir throughout the project's development.  He wrote a quite
+substantial portion of the total code.  He realized that there was a
+space problem with packing tails of files for files larger than a node
+that start on a node aligned boundary (there are reasons to want to node
+align files), and he invented and implemented indirect items and
+unformatted nodes as the solution.
+
+Konstantin Shvachko, with the help of the Russian version of a VC,
+tried to put me in a position where I was forced into giving control
+of the project to him.  (Fortunately, as the person paying the money
+for all salaries from my dayjob I owned all copyrights, and you can't
+really force takeovers of sole proprietorships.)  This was something
+curious, because he never really understood the value of our project,
+why we should do what we do, or why innovation was possible in
+general, but he was sure that he ought to be controlling it.  Every
+innovation had to be forced past him while he was with us.  He added
+two years to the time required to complete reiserfs, and was a net
+loss for me.  Mikhail Gilula was a brilliant innovator who also left
+in a destructive way that erased the value of his contributions, and
+that he was shown much generosity just makes it more painful.
+
+Grigory Zaigralin was an extremely effective system administrator for
+our group.
+
+Igor Krasheninnikov was wonderful at hardware procurement, repair, and
+network installation.
+
+Jeremy Fitzhardinge wrote the teahash.c code, and he gives credit to a
+textbook he got the algorithm from in the code.  Note that his analysis
+of how we could use the hashing code in making 32 bit NFS cookies work
+was probably more important than the actual algorithm.  Colin Plumb also
+contributed to it.
+
+Chris Mason dived right into our code, and in just a few months produced
+the journaling code that dramatically increased the value of ReiserFS.
+He is just an amazing programmer.
+
+Igor Zagorovsky is writing much of the new item handler and extent code
+for our next major release.
+
+Alexander Zarochentcev (sometimes known as zam, or sasha), wrote the
+resizer, and is hard at work on implementing allocate on flush.  SGI
+implemented allocate on flush before us for XFS, and generously took
+the time to convince me we should do it also.  They are great people,
+and a great company.
+
+Yuri Shevchuk and Nikita Danilov are doing squid cache optimization.
+
+Vitaly Fertman is doing fsck.
+
+Jeff Mahoney, of SuSE, contributed a few cleanup fixes, most notably
+the endian safe patches which allow ReiserFS to run on any platform
+supported by the Linux kernel.
+
+SuSE, IntegratedLinux.com, Ecila, MP3.com, bigstorage.com, and the
+Alpha PC Company made it possible for me to not have a day job
+anymore, and to dramatically increase our staffing.  Ecila funded
+hypertext feature development, MP3.com funded journaling, SuSE funded
+core development, IntegratedLinux.com funded squid web cache
+appliances, bigstorage.com funded HSM, and the alpha PC company funded
+the alpha port.  Many of these tasks were helped by sponsors other
+than the ones just named.  SuSE has helped in much more than just
+funding....

+
+   we only delete L if we are deleting two nodes, if we delete only

+
+   if we shift leaves then we shift as much as we can: this is a
+   deliberate policy of extremism in node packing which results in
+   higher average utilization after repeated random balance operations
+   at the cost of more memory copies and more balancing as a result of
+   small insertions to full nodes.
+
+   if we shift internal nodes we try to evenly balance the node
+   utilization, with consequent less balancing at the cost of lower
+   utilization.
+
+   one could argue that the policy for directories in leaves should be
+   that of internal nodes, but we will wait until another day to
+   evaluate this....  It would be nice to someday measure and prove
+   these assumptions as to what is optimal....

+   something simple that works.  It is not for serious use by general purpose filesystems, excepting the one that it was
+   written for (ext2/3).  This is for several reasons:
+
+   * It has no understanding of any filesystem specific optimizations.
+
+   * It enters the filesystem repeatedly for each page that is written.
+
+   * It depends on reiserfs_get_block() function which if implemented by reiserfs performs costly search_by_key
+   * operation for each page it is supplied with. By contrast reiserfs_file_write() feeds as much as possible at a time
+   * to reiserfs which allows for fewer tree traversals.
+
+   * Each indirect pointer insertion takes a lot of cpu, because it involves memory moves inside of blocks.
+
+   * Asking the block allocation code for blocks one at a time is slightly less efficient.
+
+   All of these reasons for not using only generic file write were understood back when reiserfs was first miscoded to
+   use it, but we were in a hurry to make code freeze, and so it couldn't be revised then.  This new code should make
+   things right finally.
+
+   Future Features: providing search_by_key with hints.

+** Write ahead logging implementation copyright Chris Mason 2000
+**
+** The background commits make this code very interelated, and 
+** overly complex.  I need to rethink things a bit....The major players:
+**
+** journal_begin -- call with the number of blocks you expect to log.  
+**                  If the current transaction is too
+** 		    old, it will block until the current transaction is 
+** 		    finished, and then start a new one.
+**		    Usually, your transaction will get joined in with 
+**                  previous ones for speed.
+**
+** journal_join  -- same as journal_begin, but won't block on the current 
+**                  transaction regardless of age.  Don't ever call
+**                  this.  Ever.  There are only two places it should be 
+**                  called from, and they are both inside this file.
+**
+** journal_mark_dirty -- adds blocks into this transaction.  clears any flags 
+**                       that might make them get sent to disk
+**                       and then marks them BH_JDirty.  Puts the buffer head 
+**                       into the current transaction hash.  
+**
+** journal_end -- if the current transaction is batchable, it does nothing
+**                   otherwise, it could do an async/synchronous commit, or
+**                   a full flush of all log and real blocks in the 
+**                   transaction.
+**
+** flush_old_commits -- if the current transaction is too old, it is ended and 
+**                      commit blocks are sent to disk.  Forces commit blocks 
+**                      to disk for all backgrounded commits that have been 
+**                      around too long.
+**		     -- Note, if you call this as an immediate flush from 
+**		        from within kupdate, it will ignore the immediate flag

+    where errorid is unique to the maintainer and function-name is
+    optional, is recommended, so that anyone can easily find the bug
+    with a simple grep for the short to type string
+    maintainer-errorid.  Don't bother with reusing errorids, there are
+    lots of numbers out there.
+
+    Example: 
+    
+    reiserfs_panic(
+	p_sb, "reiser-29: reiserfs_new_blocknrs: "
+	"one of search_start or rn(%d) is equal to MAX_B_NUM,"
+	"which means that we are optimizing location based on the bogus location of a temp buffer (%p).", 
+	rn, bh
+    );
+
+    Regular panic()s sometimes clear the screen before the message can
+    be read, thus the need for the while loop.  
+
+    Numbering scheme for panic used by Vladimir and Anatoly( Hans completely ignores this scheme, and considers it
+    pointless complexity):
+
+    panics in reiserfs_fs.h have numbers from 1000 to 1999
+    super.c				        2000 to 2999
+    preserve.c (unused)			    3000 to 3999
+    bitmap.c				    4000 to 4999
+    stree.c				        5000 to 5999
+    prints.c				    6000 to 6999
+    namei.c                     7000 to 7999
+    fix_nodes.c                 8000 to 8999
+    dir.c                       9000 to 9999

+ that has an open inode performs its iput().
+
+ writes and truncates are protected from collisions by use of

+
+ creates, linking, and mknod are protected from collisions with other
+ processes by making the reiserfs_add_entry() the last step in the

+ * In order to implement EA/ACLs in a clean, backwards compatible manner,
+ * they are implemented as files in a "private" directory.
+ * Each EA is in it's own file, with the directory layout like so (/ is assumed
+ * to be relative to fs root). Inside the /.reiserfs_priv/xattrs directory,
+ * directories named using the capital-hex form of the objectid and
+ * generation number are used. Inside each directory are individual files
+ * named with the name of the extended attribute.
+ *
+ * So, for objectid 12648430, we could have:
+ * /.reiserfs_priv/xattrs/C0FFEE.0/system.posix_acl_access
+ * /.reiserfs_priv/xattrs/C0FFEE.0/system.posix_acl_default
+ * /.reiserfs_priv/xattrs/C0FFEE.0/user.Content-Type
+ * .. or similar.
+ *
+ * The file contents are the text of the EA. The size is known based on the
+ * stat data describing the file.
+ *
+ * In the case of system.posix_acl_access and system.posix_acl_default, since
+ * these are special cases for filesystem ACLs, they are interpreted by the
+ * kernel, in addition, they are negatively and positively cached and attached
+ * to the inode so that unnecessary lookups are avoided.
