2006-10-11[PATCH] ReiserFS: Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling ↵David Howells
kill_block_super() Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_block_super() so that the assumption that generic_shutdown_super() can completely destroy the dentry tree for there will be no external references holds true. What was being done in the put_super() superblock op, is now done in the kill_sb() filesystem op instead, prior to calling kill_block_super(). Changes made in [try #2]: (*) reiserfs_kill_sb() now checks that the superblock FS info pointer is set before trying to dereference it.

2006-10-03[PATCH] VFS: Make filldir_t and struct kstat deal in 64-bit inode numbersDavid Howells
These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system. They are required because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS for example. The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace automatically where the arch supports it. Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and so overlaps occur. This patch: Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace. The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where available and where possible. If it is not possible to represent the inode number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then error EOVERFLOW will be issued. Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented. Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to. Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a 32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the same reasons. It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.

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] reiserfs: eliminate minimum window size for bitmap searchingJeff Mahoney
When a file system becomes fragmented (using MythTV, for example), the bigalloc window searching ends up causing huge performance problems. In a file system presented by a user experiencing this bug, the file system was 90% free, but no 32-block free windows existed on the entire file system. This causes the allocator to scan the entire file system for each 128k write before backing down to searching for individual blocks. In the end, finding a contiguous window for all the blocks in a write is an advantageous special case, but one that can be found naturally when such a window exists anyway. This patch removes the bigalloc window searching, and has been proven to fix the test case described above.

2006-10-01[PATCH] reiserfs: use generic_file_open for open() checksJeff Mahoney
The other common disk-based file systems (I checked ext[23], xfs, jfs) check to ensure that opens of files > 2 GB fail unless O_LARGEFILE is specified. They check via generic_file_open or their own open routine. ReiserFS doesn't have an f_op->open defined, and as such, it's possible to open files > 2 GB without O_LARGEFILE. This patch adds the f_op->open member to conform with the expected behavior.

2006-10-01[PATCH] reiserfs: on-demand bitmap loadingJeff Mahoney
This is the patch the three previous ones have been leading up to. It changes the behavior of ReiserFS from loading and caching all the bitmaps as special, to treating the bitmaps like any other bit of metadata and just letting the system-wide caches figure out what to hang on to. Buffer heads are allocated on the fly, so there is no need to retain pointers to all of them. The caching of the metadata occurs when the data is read and updated, and is considered invalid and uncached until then. I needed to remove the vs-4040 check for performing a duplicate operation on a particular bit. The reason is that while the other sites for working with bitmaps are allowed to schedule, is_reusable() is called from do_balance(), which will panic if a schedule occurs in certain places. The benefit of on-demand bitmaps clearly outweighs a sanity check that depends on a compile-time option that is discouraged.

2006-10-01[PATCH] reiserfs: reorganize bitmap loading functionsJeff Mahoney
This patch moves the bitmap loading code from super.c to bitmap.c The code is also restructured somewhat. The only difference between new format bitmaps and old format bitmaps is where they are. That's a two liner before loading the block to use the correct one. There's no need for an entirely separate code path. The load path is generally the same, with the pattern being to throw out a bunch of requests and then wait for them, then cache the metadata from the contents. Again, like the previous patches, the purpose is to set up for later ones. Update: There was a bug in the previously posted version of this that resulted in corruption. The problem was that bitmap 0 on new format file systems must be treated specially, and wasn't. A stupid bug with an easy fix. This is hopefully the last fix for the disaster that is the reiserfs bitmap patch set. If a bitmap block was full, first_zero_hint would end up at zero since it would never be changed from it's zeroed out value. This just sets it beyond the end of the bitmap block. If any bits are freed, it will be reset to a valid bit. When info->free_count = 0, then we already know it's full.

2006-10-01[PATCH] reiserfs: clean up bitmap block buffer head referencesJeff Mahoney
Similar to the SB_JOURNAL cleanup that was accepted a while ago, this patch uses a temporary variable for buffer head references from the bitmap info array. This makes the code much more readable in some areas. It also uses proper reference counting, doing a get_bh() after using the pointer from the array and brelse()'ing it later. This may seem silly, but a later patch will replace the simple temporary variables with an actual read, so the reference freeing will be used then.

2006-10-01[PATCH] reiserfs: fix is_reusable bitmap check to not traverse the bitmap ↵Jeff Mahoney
info array There is a check in is_reusable to determine if a particular block is a bitmap block. It verifies this by going through the array of bitmap block buffer heads and comparing the block number to each one. Bitmap blocks are at defined locations on the disk in both old and current formats. Simply checking against the known good values is enough. This is a trivial optimization for a non-production codepath, but this is the first in a series of patches that will ultimately remove the buffer heads from that array.

2006-09-29[PATCH] Fix reiserfs latencies caused by data=orderedChris Mason
ReiserFS does periodic cleanup of old transactions in order to limit the length of time a journal replay may take after a crash. Sometimes, writing metadata from an old (already committed) transaction may require committing a newer transaction, which also requires writing all data=ordered buffers. This can cause very long stalls on journal_begin. This patch makes sure new transactions will not need to be committed before trying a periodic reclaim of an old transaction. It is low risk because if a bad decision is made, it just means a slightly longer journal replay after a crash.

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 permits the root in the vfsmount to be used instead. linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build successfully.

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.

2006-04-22[PATCH] Fix reiserfs deadlockJan Kara
reiserfs_cache_default_acl() should return whether we successfully found the acl or not. We have to return correct value even if reiserfs_get_acl() returns error code and not just 0. Otherwise callers such as reiserfs_mkdir() can unnecessarily lock the xattrs and later functions such as reiserfs_new_inode() fail to notice that we have already taken the lock and try to take it again with obvious consequences.

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.

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>
2006-03-26[PATCH] remove ->get_blocks() supportBadari Pulavarty
Now that get_block() can handle mapping multiple disk blocks, no need to have ->get_blocks(). This patch removes fs specific ->get_blocks() added for DIO and makes it users use get_block() instead.

2006-03-26[PATCH] change buffer_head.b_size to size_tBadari Pulavarty
Increase the size of the buffer_head b_size field (only) for 64 bit platforms. Update some old and moldy comments in and around the structure as well. The b_size increase allows us to perform larger mappings and allocations for large I/O requests from userspace, which tie in with other changes allowing the get_block_t() interface to map multiple blocks at once.

The Coverity checker wasn't happy seeing a size_t compared with -ENODATA and -ENOSYS. Since the only place where size is set is through the result of reiserfs_xattr_get() which is an int, we could simply make size an int.
