ntfs: change mft_no type to u64

2026-03-06T13:08:39+00:00

Changes the type of ntfs_inode::mft_no from unsigned long to u64
to safely handle the full 48-bit range without truncation risk, especially
in preparation for broader VFS inode number type (i_ino:u64) and to
improve consistency with ntfs driver practices.

ntfs: update in-memory, on-disk structures and headers

2026-02-19T12:48:06+00:00

Update the NTFS filesystem driver's in-memory and on-disk structures:

  - Introduce the  infrastructure and initial support for reparse
    points and EA attribute.
  - Refactor the core ntfs_inode and ntfs_volume structures to support
    new features such as iomap.
  - Remove the unnecessary types.h and endian.h headers.
  - Reorganize the comments in headers for better readability, including
    fixing warnings from checkpatch.pl.

Revert "fs: Remove NTFS classic"

2026-02-19T12:48:05+00:00

This reverts commit 7ffa8f3d30236e0ab897c30bdb01224ff1fe1c89.

Reverts the removal of the classic read-only ntfs driver to
serve as the base for a new read-write ntfs implementation.
If we stack changes on top of the revert patch, It will significantly
reduce the diff size, making the review easier.

This revert intentionally excludes the restoration of Kconfig and
Makefile. The Kconfig and Makefile will be added back in the final patch
of this series, enabling the driver only after all features and
improvements have been applied.

fs: Remove NTFS classic

2024-01-24T09:47:00+00:00

The replacement, NTFS3, was merged over two years ago.  It is now time to
remove the original from the tree as it is the last user of several APIs,
and it is not worth changing.

fs: port ->setattr() to pass mnt_idmap

2023-01-19T08:24:02+00:00

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

fs: make helpers idmap mount aware

2021-01-24T13:27:20+00:00

Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.

As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

ntfs: fix ntfs_test_inode and ntfs_init_locked_inode function type

2020-08-07T18:33:21+00:00

Clang's Control Flow Integrity (CFI) is a security mechanism that can help
prevent JOP chains, deployed extensively in downstream kernels used in
Android.

Its deployment is hindered by mismatches in function signatures.  For this
case, we make callbacks match their intended function signature, and cast
parameters within them rather than casting the callback when passed as a
parameter.

When running `mount -t ntfs ...` we observe the following trace:

fs: cleanup slight list_entry abuse

2015-06-23T22:01:59+00:00

list_entry is just a wrapper for container_of, but it is arguably
wrong (and slightly confusing) to use it when the pointed-to struct
member is not a struct list_head. Use container_of directly instead.
