ext2: report metadata errors during fsync

2009-12-16T15:20:06+00:00

When an IO error happens while writing metadata buffers, we should better report it and call ext2_error since the filesystem is probably no longer consistent. Sometimes such IO errors happen while flushing thread does background writeback, the buffer gets later evicted from memory, and thus the only trace of the error remains as AS_EIO bit set in blockdevice's mapping. So we check this bit in ext2_fsync and report the error although we cannot be really sure which buffer we failed to write.

ext[234]: move over to 'check_acl' permission model

2009-09-08T18:09:04+00:00

Don't implement per-filesystem 'extX_permission()' functions that have to be called for every path component operation, and instead just expose the actual ACL checking so that the VFS layer can now do it for us. Reviewed-by: James Morris Acked-by: Serge Hallyn Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

switch ext2 to simple_fsync()

2009-06-12T01:36:12+00:00

kill ext2_sync_file() (along with ext2/fsync.c), get rid of ext2_update_inode() - it's an alias of ext2_write_inode(). Signed-off-by: Al Viro

generic block based fiemap implementation

2008-10-03T21:32:43+00:00

Any block based fs (this patch includes ext3) just has to declare its own fiemap() function and then call this generic function with its own get_block_t. This works well for block based filesystems that will map multiple contiguous blocks at one time, but will work for filesystems that only map one block at a time, you will just end up with an "extent" for each block. One gotcha is this will not play nicely where there is hole+data after the EOF. This function will assume its hit the end of the data as soon as it hits a hole after the EOF, so if there is any data past that it will not pick that up. AFAIK no block based fs does this anyway, but its in the comments of the function anyway just in case.

BKL-removal: convert ext2 over to use unlocked_ioctl

xip sendfile removal

2007-07-10T06:04:15+00:00

This patch removes xip_file_sendfile, the sendfile implementation for xip without replacement. Those customers that use xip on s390 are not using sendfile() as far as we know, and so far s390 is the only platform this could potentially be used on so far. Having sendfile is not a popular feature for execute in place file systems, however we have a working implementation of splice_read() based on fs/splice.c if anyone asks for it. At this point in time, it does not seem preferable to merge splice_read() for xip because it causes extra maintenence effort due to code duplication and it requires struct page behind the xip memory segment. We'd like to get rid of that in favor of supporting flash based embedded platforms (Monta Vista work) soon. Signed-off-by: Carsten Otte Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

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. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

[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. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
