2007-01-30[PATCH] ufs: truncate negative to unsigned fixEvgeniy Dushistov
During ufs_trunc_direct which is subroutine of ufs::truncate, we try the first of all free parts of block and then whole blocks. But we calculate size of block's part to free in the wrong way. This may cause bad update of used blocks and fragments statistic, and you can got report that you have free 32T on 1Gb partition.

2007-01-30[PATCH] ufs: alloc metadata null page fixEvgeniy Dushistov
These series of patches result of UFS1 write support stress testing, like running fsx-linux, untar and build linux kernel etc We pass from ufs::get_block_t to levels below: pointer to the current page, to make possible things like reallocation of blocks on the fly, and we also uses this pointer for indication, what actually we allocate data block or meta data block, but currently we make decision about what we allocate on the wrong level, this may and cause oops if we allocate blocks in some special order.

2007-01-05[PATCH] fix garbage instead of zeroes in UFSEvgeniy Dushistov
Looks like this is the problem, which point Al Viro some time ago: ufs's get_block callback allocates 16k of disk at a time, and links that entire 16k into the file's metadata. But because get_block is called for only a single buffer_head (a 2k buffer_head in this case?) we are only able to tell the VFS that this 2k is buffer_new(). So when ufs_getfrag_block() is later called to map some more data in the file, and when that data resides within the remaining 14k of this fragment, ufs_getfrag_block() will incorrectly return a !buffer_new() buffer_head. I don't see _right_ way to do nullification of whole block, if use inode page cache, some pages may be outside of inode limits (inode size), and will be lost; if use blockdev page cache it is possible to zero real data, if later inode page cache will be used. The simpliest way, as can I see usage of block device page cache, but not only mark dirty, but also sync it during "nullification". I use my simple tests collection, which I used for check that create,open,write,read,close works on ufs, and I see that this patch makes ufs code 18% slower then before.

2006-10-01[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: unlink: monitor i_nlinkDave Hansen
When a filesystem decrements i_nlink to zero, it means that a write must be performed in order to drop the inode from the filesystem. We're shortly going to have keep filesystems from being remounted r/o between the time that this i_nlink decrement and that write occurs. So, add a little helper function to do the decrements.

2006-10-01[PATCH] Streamline generic_file_* interfaces and filemap cleanupsBadari Pulavarty
This patch cleans up generic_file_*_read/write() interfaces. Christoph Hellwig gave me the idea for this clean ups. In a nutshell, all filesystems should set .aio_read/.aio_write methods and use do_sync_read/ do_sync_write() as their .read/.write methods. This allows us to cleanup all variants of generic_file_* routines.

2006-08-27[PATCH] ufs: truncate correctionEvgeniy Dushistov
1) When we allocated last fragment in ufs_truncate, we read page, check if block mapped to address, and if not trying to allocate it. This is wrong behaviour, fragment may be NOT allocated, but mapped, this happened because of "block map" function not checked allocated fragment or not, it just take address of the first fragment in the block, add offset of fragment and return result, this is correct behaviour in almost all situation except call from ufs_truncate. 2) Almost all implementation of UFS, which I can investigate have such "defect": if you have full disk, and try truncate file, for example 3GB to 2MB, and have hole in this region, truncate return -ENOSPC. I tried evade from this problem, but "block allocation" algorithm is tied to right value of i_lastfrag, and fix of this corner case may slow down of ordinaries scenarios, so this patch makes behavior of "truncate" operations similar to what other UFS implementations do.

2006-08-27[PATCH] ufs: write to hole in big fileEvgeniy Dushistov
On UFS, this scenario: open(O_TRUNC) lseek(1024 * 1024 * 80) write("A") lseek(1024 * 2) write("A") may cause access to invalid address. This happened because of "goal" is calculated in wrong way in block allocation path, as I see this problem exists also in 2.4. We use construction like this i_data[lastfrag], i_data array of pointers to direct blocks, indirect and so on, it has ceratain size ~20 elements, and lastfrag may have value for example 40000. Also this patch fixes related to handling such scenario issues, wrong zeroing metadata, in case of block(not fragment) allocation, and wrong goal calculation, when we allocate block Signed-off-by: Evgeniy Dushistov <dushistov@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

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.

2006-07-01[PATCH] ufs: truncate should allocate block for last byteEvgeniy Dushistov
This patch fixes buggy behaviour of UFS in such kind of scenario: open(, O_TRUNC...) ftruncate(, 1024) ftruncate(, 0) Such a scenario causes ufs_panic and remount read-only. This happen because of according to specification UFS should always allocate block for last byte, and many parts of our implementation rely on this, but `ufs_truncate' doesn't care about this. To make possible return error code and to know about old size, this patch removes `truncate' from ufs inode_operations and uses `setattr' method to call ufs_truncate.

2006-06-25[PATCH] ufs: make fsck -f happyEvgeniy Dushistov
ufs super block contains some statistic about file systems, like amount of directories, free blocks, inodes and so on. UFS1 hold this information in one location and uses 32bit integers for such information, UFS2 hold statistic in another location and uses 64bit integers. There is transition variant, if UFS1 has type 44BSD and flags field in super block has some special value this mean that we work with statistic like UFS2 does. and this also means that nobody care about old(UFS1) statistic.

2006-06-25[PATCH] ufs: change block number on the flyEvgeniy Dushistov
First of all some necessary notes about UFS by it self: To avoid waste of disk space the tail of file consists not from blocks (which is ordinary big enough, 16K usually), it consists from fragments(which is ordinary 2K). When file is growing its tail occupy 1 fragment, 2 fragments... At some stage decision to allocate whole block is made and all fragments are moved to one block. How this situation was handled before: ufs_prepare_write ->block_prepare_write ->ufs_getfrag_block ->... ->ufs_new_fragments: bh = sb_bread bh->b_blocknr = result + i; mark_buffer_dirty (bh); This is wrong solution, because: - it didn't take into consideration that there is another cache: "inode page cache" - because of sb_getblk uses not b_blocknr, (it uses page->index) to find certain block, this breaks sb_getblk. How this situation is handled now: we go though all "page inode cache", if there are no such page in cache we load it into cache, and change b_blocknr.

This patch is similar to http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/17/61 this patch complements it. The situation the same: in ufs_trunc_(not direct), we read block, check if count of links to it is equal to one, if so we finish cycle, if not continue. Because of "count of links" always >=2 this operation cause infinite cycle and hang up the kernel.

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.

2006-03-28[PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ constArjan van de Ven
This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/ const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus cache clean) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
