2005-08-19Fix nasty ncpfs symlink handling bug.Linus Torvalds
This bug could cause oopses and page state corruption, because ncpfs used the generic page-cache symlink handlign functions. But those functions only work if the page cache is guaranteed to be "stable", ie a page that was installed when the symlink walk was started has to still be installed in the page cache at the end of the walk. We could have fixed ncpfs to not use the generic helper routines, but it is in many ways much cleaner to instead improve on the symlink walking helper routines so that they don't require that absolute stability. We do this by allowing "follow_link()" to return a error-pointer as a cookie, which is fed back to the cleanup "put_link()" routine. This also simplifies NFS symlink handling.

2005-07-07[PATCH] ext3 xattr: Don't write to the in-inode xattr space of reserved inodesAndreas Gruenbacher
We are not using the in-inode space for xattrs in reserved inodes because mkfs.ext3 doesn't initialize it properly. For those inodes, we set i_extra_isize to 0. Make sure that we also don't overwrite the i_extra_isize field when writing out the inode in that case. This is for cleanliness only, and doesn't fix an actual bug.

2005-06-28[PATCH] ext3: reduce allocate-with-reservation lock latenciesMingming Cao
Currently in ext3 block reservation code, the global filesystem reservation tree lock (rsv_block) is hold during the process of searching for a space to make a new reservation window, including while scaning the block bitmap to verify if the avalible window has a free block. Holding the lock during bitmap scan is unnecessary and could possibly cause scalability issue and latency issues. This patch tries to address this by dropping the lock before scan the bitmap. Before that we need to reserve the open window in case someone else is targetting at the same window. Question was should we reserve the whole free reservable space or just the window size we need. Reserve the whole free reservable space will possibly force other threads which intended to do block allocation nearby move to another block group(cause bad layout). In this patch, we just reserve the desired size before drop the lock and scan the block bitmap. This patch fixed a ext3 reservation latency issue seen on a cvs check out test. Patch is tested with many fsx, tiobench, dbench and untar a kernel test.

2005-06-23[PATCH] Support for dx directories in ext3_get_parent (NFSD)Andreas Dilger
Henrik Grubbstrom noted: The 2.6.10 ext3_get_parent attempts to use ext3_find_entry to look up the entry "..", which fails for dx directories since ".." is not present in the directory hash table. The patch below solves this by looking up the dotdot entry in the dx_root block. Typical symptoms of the above bug are intermittent claims by nfsd that files or directories are missing on exported ext3 filesystems. cf https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D150759 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D144556 ext3_get_parent() is IMHO the wrong place to fix this bug as it introduces a lot of internals from htree into that function. Instead, I think this should be fixed in ext3_find_entry() as in the below patch. This has the added advantage that it works for any callers of ext3_find_entry() and not just ext3_lookup_parent().

2005-05-18[PATCH] Avoid console spam with ext3 aborted journal.Stephen Tweedie
Avoid console spam with ext3 aborted journal. ext3 usually reports error conditions that it detects in its environment. But when its journal gets aborted due to such errors, it can sometimes continue to report that condition forever, spamming the console to such an extent that the initial first cause of the journal abort can be lost. When the journal aborts, we put the filesystem into readonly mode. Most subsequent filesystem operations will get rejected immediately by checks for MS_RDONLY either in the filesystem or in the VFS. But some paths do not have such checks --- for example, if we continue to write to a file handle that was opened before the fs went readonly. (We only check for the ROFS condition when the file is first opened.) In these cases, we can continue to generate log errors similar to EXT3-fs error (device $DEV) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted for each subsequent write. There is really no point in generating these errors after the initial error has been fully reported. Specifically, if we're starting a completely new filesystem operation, and the filesystem is *already* readonly (ie. the ext3 layer has already detected and handled the underlying jbd abort), and we see an EROFS error, then there is simply no point in reporting it again.

2005-05-01[PATCH] ext3: remove unnecessary race then retry in ext3_get_blockMingming Cao
The extra race-with-truncate-then-retry logic around ext3_get_block_handle(), which was inherited from ext2, becomes unecessary for ext3, since we have already obtained the ei->truncate_sem in ext3_get_block_handle() before calling ext3_alloc_branch(). The ei->truncate_sem is already there to block concurrent truncate and block allocation on the same inode. So the inode's indirect addressing tree won't be changed after we grab that semaphore. We could, after get the semaphore, re-verify the branch is up-to-date or not. If it has been changed, then get the updated branch. If we still need block allocation, we will have a safe version of the branch to work with in the ext3_find_goal()/ext3_splice_branch(). The code becomes more readable after remove those retry logic. The patch also clean up some gotos in ext3_get_block_handle() to make it more readable.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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!
