[XFS] Long btree pointers are still 64 bit on disk On 32 bit machines with CONFIG_LBD=n, XFS reduces the in memory size of xfs_fsblock_t to 32 bits so that it will fit within 32 bit addressing.

2009-01-09filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfsTakashi Sato
Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and replication) while it is mounted. In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature and it would be used to get the consistent backup. If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it without a commercial filesystem. So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature. I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps. 1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl. 2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot with the storage device's feature. 3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl. 4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume or the snapshot. This patch: VFS: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they can return an error. Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion. ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed, and unlockfs always returns 0. reiserfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

2009-01-09[XFS] remove old vmap cacheNick Piggin
XFS's vmap batching simply defers a number (up to 64) of vunmaps, and keeps track of them in a list. To purge the batch, it just goes through the list and calls vunamp on each one. This is pretty poor: a global TLB flush is generally still performed on each vunmap, with the most expensive parts of the operation being the broadcast IPIs and locking involved in the SMP callouts, and the locking involved in the vmap management -- none of these are avoided by just batching up the calls. I'm actually surprised it ever made much difference. (Now that the lazy vmap allocator is upstream, this description is not quite right, but the vunmap batching still doesn't seem to do much) Rip all this logic out of XFS completely. I will improve vmap performance and scalability directly in subsequent patch.

2009-01-09[XFS] truncate readdir offsets to signed 32 bit valuesChristoph Hellwig
John Stanley reported EOVERFLOW errors in readdir from his self-build glibc. I traced this down to glibc enabling d_off overflow checks in one of the about five million different getdents implementations. In 2.6.28 Dave Woodhouse moved our readdir double buffering required for NFS4 readdirplus into nfsd and at that point we lost the capping of the directory offsets to 32 bit signed values. Johns glibc used getdents64 to even implement readdir for normal 32 bit offset dirents, and failed with EOVERFLOW only if this happens on the first dirent in a getdents call. I managed to come up with a testcase that uses raw getdents and does the EOVERFLOW check manually. We always hit it with our last entry due to the special end of directory marker. The patch below is a dumb version of just putting back the masking, to make sure we have the same behavior as in 2.6.27 and earlier. I will work on a better and cleaner fix for 2.6.30.
