fs: Remove ext3 filesystem driver

2015-07-23T18:59:40+00:00

The functionality of ext3 is fully supported by ext4 driver. Major
distributions (SUSE, RedHat) already use ext4 driver to handle ext3
filesystems for quite some time. There is some ugliness in mm resulting
from jbd cleaning buffers in a dirty page without cleaning page dirty
bit and also support for buffer bouncing in the block layer when stable
pages are required is there only because of jbd. So let's remove the
ext3 driver. This saves us some 28k lines of duplicated code.

ext{3,4}: Fix potential race when setversion ioctl updates inode

2012-01-09T12:52:10+00:00

The EXT{3,4}_IOC_SETVERSION ioctl() updates i_ctime and i_generation
without i_mutex. This can lead to a race with the other operations that
update i_ctime. This is not a big issue but let's make the ioctl consistent
with how we handle e.g. other timestamp updates and use i_mutex to protect
inode changes.

vfs: mnt_drop_write_file()

2012-01-04T03:52:40+00:00

new helper (wrapper around mnt_drop_write()) to be used in pair with
mnt_want_write_file().

Signed-off-by: Al Viro

switch a bunch of places to mnt_want_write_file()

2012-01-04T03:52:35+00:00

it's both faster (in case when file has been opened for write) and cleaner.

ext3: Remove the obsolete broken EXT3_IOC32_WAIT_FOR_READONLY.

2011-10-10T16:25:59+00:00

There are no user of EXT3_IOC32_WAIT_FOR_READONLY and also it is
broken. No one set the set_ro_timer, no one wake up us and our
state is set to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE not RUNNING. So remove it.

ext3/ioctl.c: silence sparse warnings about different address spaces

2011-06-25T15:29:53+00:00

The 'from' argument for copy_from_user and the 'to' argument for
copy_to_user should both be tagged as __user address space.
