ext4: fix readdir error in the case of inline_data+dir_index

2013-04-19T21:53:09+00:00

Zach reported a problem that if inline data is enabled, we don't
tell the difference between the offset of '.' and '..'. And a
getdents will fail if the user only want to get '.' and what's worse,
if there is a conversion happens when the user calls getdents
many times, he/she may get the same entry twice.

In theory, a dir block would also fail if it is converted to a
hashed-index based dir since f_pos will become a hash value, not the
real one, but it doesn't happen.  And a deep investigation shows that
we uses a hash based solution even for a normal dir if the dir_index
feature is enabled.

So this patch just adds a new htree_inlinedir_to_tree for inline dir,
and if we find that the hash index is supported, we will do like what
we do for a dir block.

ext4: fix a warning from sparse check for ext4_dir_llseek

2013-03-02T22:24:05+00:00

ext4_dir_llseek is only used as a callback function, and no one calls
it directly.  So make it as a static function in order to remove a
warning message from sparse check.

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
 "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent
  locking violations, etc.

  The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
  "has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
  to inode.  Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.

  Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
  several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.

  PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."

ext4: let ext4_readdir handle inline data

ext4: refactor __ext4_check_dir_entry() to accept start and size

2012-12-10T19:05:58+00:00

The __ext4_check_dir_entry() function() is used to check whether the
de is over the block boundary.  Now with inline data, it could be
within the block boundary while exceeds the inode size.  So check this
function to check the overflow more precisely.

ext4: use core vfs llseek code for dir seeks

2012-07-22T20:00:28+00:00

Use the new functionality in generic_file_llseek_size() to
accept a custom EOF position, and un-cut-and-paste all the
vfs llseek code from ext4.

Also fix up comments on ext4_llseek() to reflect reality.
