2007-07-10xip sendfile removalCarsten Otte
This patch removes xip_file_sendfile, the sendfile implementation for xip without replacement. Those customers that use xip on s390 are not using sendfile() as far as we know, and so far s390 is the only platform this could potentially be used on so far. Having sendfile is not a popular feature for execute in place file systems, however we have a working implementation of splice_read() based on fs/splice.c if anyone asks for it. At this point in time, it does not seem preferable to merge splice_read() for xip because it causes extra maintenence effort due to code duplication and it requires struct page behind the xip memory segment. We'd like to get rid of that in favor of supporting flash based embedded platforms (Monta Vista work) soon.

2007-07-10sendfile: remove .sendfile from filesystems that use generic_file_sendfile()Jens Axboe
They can use generic_file_splice_read() instead. Since sys_sendfile() now prefers that, there should be no change in behaviour. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2007-05-08ext2/3/4: fix file date underflow on ext2 3 filesystems on 64 bit systemsMarkus Rechberger
Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5079 signed long ranges from -2.147.483.648 to 2.147.483.647 on x86 32bit 10000011110110100100111110111101 .. -2,082,844,739 10000011110110100100111110111101 .. 2,212,122,557 <- this currently gets stored on the disk but when converting it to a 64bit signed long value it loses its sign and becomes positive. Cc: Andreas Dilger <adilger@dilger.ca> Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Andreas says: This patch is now treating timestamps with the high bit set as negative times (before Jan 1, 1970). This means we lose 1/2 of the possible range of timestamps (lopping off 68 years before unix timestamp overflow - now only 30 years away :-) to handle the extremely rare case of setting timestamps into the distant past. If we are only interested in fixing the underflow case, we could just limit the values to 0 instead of storing negative values. At worst this will skew the timestamp by a few hours for timezones in the far east (files would still show Jan 1, 1970 in "ls -l" output). That said, it seems 32-bit systems (mine at least) allow files to be set into the past (01/01/1907 works fine) so it seems this patch is bringing the x86_64 behaviour into sync with other kernels. On the plus side, we have a patch that is ready to add nanosecond timestamps to ext3 and as an added bonus adds 2 high bits to the on-disk timestamp so this extends the maximum date to 2242.

2007-05-07slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.

2007-02-11[PATCH] fix umask when noACL kernel meets extN tuned for ACLsHugh Dickins
Fix insecure default behaviour reported by Tigran Aivazian: if an ext2 or ext3 or ext4 filesystem is tuned to mount with "acl", but mounted by a kernel built without ACL support, then umask was ignored when creating inodes - though root or user has umask 022, touch creates files as 0666, and mkdir creates directories as 0777. This appears to have worked right until 2.6.11, when a fix to the default mode on symlinks (always 0777) assumed VFS applies umask: which it does, unless the mount is marked for ACLs; but ext[234] set MS_POSIXACL in s_flags according to s_mount_opt set according to def_mount_opts. We could revert to the 2.6.10 ext[234]_init_acl (adding an S_ISLNK test); but other filesystems only set MS_POSIXACL when ACLs are configured. We could fix this at another level; but it seems most robust to avoid setting the s_mount_opt flag in the first place (at the expense of more ifdefs). Likewise don't set the XATTR_USER flag when built without XATTR support.

2007-02-11[PATCH] ext2: skip pages past number of blocks in ext2_find_entryEric Sandeen
This one was pointed out on the MOKB site: http://kernelfun.blogspot.com/2006/11/mokb-09-11-2006-linux-26x-ext2checkpage.html If a directory's i_size is corrupted, ext2_find_entry() will keep processing pages until the i_size is reached, even if there are no more blocks associated with the directory inode. This patch puts in some minimal sanity-checking so that we don't keep checking pages (and issuing errors) if we know there can be no more data to read, based on the block count of the directory inode.

2006-12-08[PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernelDavid Howells
This facility provides three entry points: ilog2() Log base 2 of unsigned long ilog2_u32() Log base 2 of u32 ilog2_u64() Log base 2 of u64 These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data: int do_something(long q) { ...; y = ilog2(x) ...; } Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values: unsigned n = ilog2(27); When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error: initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of something not reducible to a constant. They treat negative numbers as unsigned. When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

2006-10-11[PATCH] ext2: errors behaviour fixVasily Averin
Current error behaviour for ext2 and ext3 filesystems does not fully correspond to the documentation and should be fixed. According to man 8 mount, ext2 and ext3 file systems allow to set one of 3 different on-errors behaviours: ---- start of quote man 8 mount ---- errors=continue / errors=remount-ro / errors=panic Define the behaviour when an error is encountered. (Either ignore errors and just mark the file system erroneous and continue, or remount the file system read-only, or panic and halt the system.) The default is set in the filesystem superblock, and can be changed using tune2fs(8). ---- end of quote ---- However EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock, and thus ERRORS_CONT is not saved on the sbi->s_mount_opt. It leads to the incorrect handle of errors on ext3. Then we've checked corresponding code in ext2 and discovered that it is buggy as well: - EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock (the same); - parse_option() does not clean the alternative values and thus something like (ERRORS_CONT|ERRORS_RO) can be set; - if options are omitted, parse_option() does not set any of these options. Therefore it is possible to set any combination of these options on the ext2: - none of them may be set: EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE on superblock / empty mount options; - any of them may be set using mount options; - 2 any options may be set: by using EXT2_ERRORS_RO/EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the superblock and other value in mount options; - and finally all three options may be set by adding third option in remount. Currently ext2 uses these values only in ext2_error() and it is not leading to any noticeable troubles. However somebody may be discouraged when he will try to workaround EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the superblock by using errors=continue in mount options. This patch: EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE should be read from the superblock as default value for error behaviour. parse_option() should clean the alternative options and should not change default value taken from the superblock.

2006-07-03[PATCH] lockdep: annotate the quota codeArjan van de Ven
The quota code plays interesting games with the lock ordering; to quote Jan: | i_mutex of inode containing quota file is acquired after all other | quota locks. i_mutex of all other inodes is acquired before quota | locks. Quota code makes sure (by resetting inode operations and | setting special flag on inode) that noone tries to enter quota code | while holding i_mutex on a quota file... The good news is that all of this special case i_mutex grabbing happens in the (per filesystem) low level quota write function. For this special case we need a new I_MUTEX_* nesting level, since this just entirely outside any of the regular VFS locking rules for i_mutex. I trust Jan on his blue eyes that this is not ever going to deadlock; and based on that the patch below is what it takes to inform lockdep of these very interesting new locking rules. The new locking rule for the I_MUTEX_QUOTA nesting level is that this is the deepest possible level of nesting for i_mutex, and that this only should be used in quota write (and possibly read) function of filesystems. This makes the lock ordering of the I_MUTEX_* levels: I_MUTEX_PARENT -> I_MUTEX_CHILD -> I_MUTEX_NORMAL -> I_MUTEX_QUOTA Has no effect on non-lockdep kernels.

This patch makes EXT2_DEBUG work again. Due to lack of proper include file, EXT2_DEBUG was undefined in bitmap.c and ext2_count_free() is left out. Moved to balloc.c and removed bitmap.c entirely. Second, debug versions of ext2_count_free_{inodes/blocks} reacquires superblock lock. Moved lock into callers.

2006-06-23[PATCH] percpu counter data type changes to suppport more than 2**31 ext3 ↵Mingming Cao
free blocks counter The percpu counter data type are changed in this set of patches to support more users like ext3 who need more than 32 bit to store the free blocks total in the filesystem. - Generic perpcu counters data type changes. The size of the global counter and local counter were explictly specified using s64 and s32. The global counter is changed from long to s64, while the local counter is changed from long to s32, so we could avoid doing 64 bit update in most cases. - Users of the percpu counters are updated to make use of the new percpu_counter_init() routine now taking an additional parameter to allow users to pass the initial value of the global counter.

2006-06-23[PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentryDavid Howells
Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock pointer. This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits the root in the vfsmount to be used instead. linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build successfully. Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

2006-06-23[PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mountDavid Howells
Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint. The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt() which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour). The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the superblock pointer. This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root and mnt_sb would be set directly. The patch also makes the following changes: (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change very little. (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb(). (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon(). This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root, and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in dentries being left unculled. However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries with child trees. [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree. (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

2006-03-30[PATCH] Introduce sys_splice() system callJens Axboe
This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only). From the splice.c comments: "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands. This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other. The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer. Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation bugs.

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/ const.
