ext4: move headers out of include/linux

2008-04-29T22:13:32+00:00

Move ext4 headers out of include/linux.  This is just the trivial move,
there's some more thing that could be done later.

Convert ext4 to use unlocked_ioctl

2008-04-30T02:03:54+00:00

I checked ext4_ioctl and it looked largely safe to not be used
without BKL.  So convert it over to unlocked_ioctl.

ext4: Convert truncate_mutex to read write semaphore.

2008-01-29T04:58:26+00:00

We are currently taking the truncate_mutex for every read. This would have
performance impact on large CPU configuration. Convert the lock to read write
semaphore and take read lock when we are trying to read the file.

ext4: store maxbytes for bitmapped files and return EFBIG as appropriate

2008-01-29T04:58:27+00:00

Calculate & store the max offset for bitmapped files, and
catch too-large seeks, truncates, and writes in ext4, shortening
or rejecting as appropriate.

fallocate support in ext4

2007-07-18T01:42:41+00:00

This patch implements ->fallocate() inode operation in ext4. With this
patch users of ext4 file systems will be able to use fallocate() system
call for persistent preallocation. Current implementation only supports
preallocation for regular files (directories not supported as of date)
with extent maps. This patch does not support block-mapped files currently.
Only FALLOC_ALLOCATE and FALLOC_RESV_SPACE modes are being supported as of
now.

sendfile: remove .sendfile from filesystems that use generic_file_sendfile()

2007-07-10T06:04:13+00:00

They can use generic_file_splice_read() instead. Since sys_sendfile() now
prefers that, there should be no change in behaviour.

[PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 1

2007-02-12T17:48:46+00:00

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

[PATCH] ext4: rename ext4 symbols to avoid duplication of ext3 symbols

2006-10-11T18:14:15+00:00

Mingming Cao originally did this work, and Shaggy reproduced it using some
scripts from her.
