ext2: avoid rec_len overflow with 64KB block size

2007-10-22T15:13:18+00:00

With 64KB blocksize, a directory entry can have size 64KB which does not
fit into 16 bits we have for entry length.  So we store 0xffff instead and
convert the value when read from / written to disk.

header cleaning: don't include smp_lock.h when not used

2007-05-08T18:15:07+00:00

Remove includes of  where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.

Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,
sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).

mm: make read_cache_page synchronous

2007-05-07T19:12:51+00:00

Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.

I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
block2mtd.  All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
with a !uptodate page.

[PATCH] ext2: skip pages past number of blocks in ext2_find_entry

2007-02-11T18:51:28+00:00

This one was pointed out on the MOKB site:
http://kernelfun.blogspot.com/2006/11/mokb-09-11-2006-linux-26x-ext2checkpage.html

If a directory's i_size is corrupted, ext2_find_entry() will keep
processing pages until the i_size is reached, even if there are no more
blocks associated with the directory inode.  This patch puts in some
minimal sanity-checking so that we don't keep checking pages (and issuing
errors) if we know there can be no more data to read, based on the block
count of the directory inode.

This is somewhat similar in approach to the ext3 patch I sent earlier this
year.

[PATCH] BLOCK: Move the Ext2 device ioctl compat stuff to the Ext2 driver [try #6]

2006-09-30T18:52:29+00:00

Move the Ext2 device ioctl compat stuff from fs/compat_ioctl.c to the Ext2
driver so that the Ext2 header file doesn't need to be included.

[PATCH] read_mapping_page for address space

2006-06-23T14:43:02+00:00

Add read_mapping_page() which is used for callers that pass
mapping->a_ops->readpage as the filler for read_cache_page.  This removes
some duplication from filesystem code.

[PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const

2006-03-28T17:16:06+00:00

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)
