* [JFFS2] Fix return value from jffs2_write_end()Nick Piggin2007-10-221-7/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | jffs2_write_end() is sometimes passing back a "written" length greater than the length we passed into it, leading to a BUG at mm/filemap.c:1749 when used with unionfs. It happens because we actually write more than was requested, to reduce log fragmentation. These "longer" writes are fine, but they shouldn't get propagated back to the vm/vfs.

* sendfile: remove .sendfile from filesystems that use generic_file_sendfile()Jens Axboe2007-07-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | 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 <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* [JFFS2] Tidy up licensing/copyright boilerplate.David Woodhouse2007-04-251-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In particular, remove the bit in the LICENCE file about contacting Red Hat for alternative arrangements. Their errant IS department broke that arrangement a long time ago -- the policy of collecting copyright assignments from contributors came to an end when the plug was pulled on the servers hosting the project, without notice or reason. We do still dual-license it for use with eCos, with the GPL+exception licence approved by the FSF as being GPL-compatible. It's just that nobody has the right to license it differently.

* [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 2Arjan van de Ven2007-02-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | 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] Streamline generic_file_* interfaces and filemap cleanupsBadari Pulavarty2006-10-011-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch cleans up generic_file_*_read/write() interfaces. Christoph Hellwig gave me the idea for this clean ups. In a nutshell, all filesystems should set .aio_read/.aio_write methods and use do_sync_read/ do_sync_write() as their .read/.write methods. This allows us to cleanup all variants of generic_file_* routines. Final available interfaces: generic_file_aio_read() - read handler generic_file_aio_write() - write handler generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - no lock write handler __generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - internal worker routine Signed-off-by: Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [JFFS2] Remove flash offset argument from various functions.David Woodhouse2006-05-231-4/+4
| | | | | | | | We don't need the upper layers to deal with the physical offset. It's _always_ c->nextblock->offset + c->sector_size - c->nextblock->free_size so we might as well just let the actual write functions deal with that. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

| * [JFFS2] Reduce excessive node count for syslog files.David Woodhouse2006-05-141-6/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently get fairly poor behaviour with files which get many short writes, such as system logs. This is because we end up with many tiny data nodes, and the rbtree gets massive. None of these nodes are actually obsolete, so they are counted as 'clean' space. Eraseblocks can be entirely full of these nodes (which are REF_NORMAL instead of REF_PRISTINE), and still they count entirely towards 'used_size' and the eraseblocks can sit on the clean_list for a long time without being picked for GC. One way to alleviate this in the long term is to account REF_NORMAL space separately from REF_PRISTINE space, rather than counting them both towards used_size. Then these eraseblocks can be picked for GC and the offending nodes will be garbage collected. The short-term fix, though -- which probably makes sense even if we do eventually implement the above -- is to merge these nodes as they're written. When we write the last byte in a page, write the _whole_ page. This obsoletes the earlier nodes in the page _immediately_ and we don't even need to wait for the garbage collection to do it.

* | [JFFS2][XATTR] XATTR support on JFFS2 (version. 5)KaiGai Kohei2006-05-131-1/+6
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5). There are some significant differences from previous version posted at last December. The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support. Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype. In addition, some bugs are fixed. - A potential race condition was fixed. - Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed. - A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed. The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed and updated if necessary. Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.

* [PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ constArjan van de Ven2006-03-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [JFFS2] Add erase block summary support (mount time improvement)Ferenc Havasi2005-11-061-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The goal of summary is to speed up the mount time. Erase block summary (EBS) stores summary information at the end of every (closed) erase block. It is no longer necessary to scan all nodes separetly (and read all pages of them) just read this "small" summary, where every information is stored which is needed at mount time. This summary information is stored in a JFFS2_FEATURE_RWCOMPAT_DELETE. During the mount process if there is no summary info the orignal scan process will be executed. EBS works with NAND and NOR flashes, too. There is a user space tool called sumtool to generate this summary information for a JFFS2 image.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+290
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
