* ext3: fix broken handling of EXT3_STATE_NEWLinus Torvalds2010-03-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 9df93939b735 ("ext3: Use bitops to read/modify EXT3_I(inode)->i_state") ext3 changed its internal 'i_state' variable to use bitops for its state handling. However, unline the same ext4 change, it didn't actually change the name of the field when it changed the semantics of it. As a result, an old use of 'i_state' remained in fs/ext3/ialloc.c that initialized the field to EXT3_STATE_NEW. And that does not work _at_all_ when we're now working with individually named bits rather than values that get masked. So the code tried to mark the state to be new, but in actual fact set the field to EXT3_STATE_JDATA. Which makes no sense at all, and screws up all the code that checks whether the inode was newly allocated. In particular, it made the xattr code unhappy, and caused various random behavior, like apparently https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577911 So fix the initialization, and rename the field to match ext4 so that we don't have this happen again.

* ext3: Use bitops to read/modify EXT3_I(inode)->i_stateJan Kara2010-03-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | At several places we modify EXT3_I(inode)->i_state without holding i_mutex (ext3_release_file, ext3_bmap, ext3_journalled_writepage, ext3_do_update_inode, ...). These modifications are racy and we can lose updates to i_state. So convert handling of i_state to use bitops which are atomic. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
* ext3: Wait for proper transaction commit on fsyncJan Kara2009-11-111-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | We cannot rely on buffer dirty bits during fsync because pdflush can come before fsync is called and clear dirty bits without forcing a transaction commit. What we do is that we track which transaction has last changed the inode and which transaction last changed allocation and force it to disk on fsync.

* [PATCH] ext3_fsblk_t: filesystem, group blocks and bug fixesMingming Cao2006-06-251-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the in-kernel ext3 block variable type are treated as signed 4 bytes int type, thus limited ext3 filesystem to 8TB (4kblock size based). While trying to fix them, it seems quite confusing in the ext3 code where some blocks are filesystem-wide blocks, some are group relative offsets that need to be signed value (as -1 has special meaning). So it seem saner to define two types of physical blocks: one is filesystem wide blocks, another is group-relative blocks. The following patches clarify these two types of blocks in the ext3 code, and fix the type bugs which limit current 32 bit ext3 filesystem limit to 8TB. With this series of patches and the percpu counter data type changes in the mm tree, we are able to extend exts filesystem limit to 16TB. This work is also a pre-request for the recent >32 bit ext3 work, and makes the kernel to able to address 48 bit ext3 block a lot easier: Simply redefine ext3_fsblk_t from unsigned long to sector_t and redefine the format string for ext3 filesystem block corresponding. Two RFC with a series patches have been posted to ext2-devel list and have been reviewed and discussed: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114722190816690&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114784919525942&w=2 Patches are tested on both 32 bit machine and 64 bit machine, <8TB ext3 and >8TB ext3 filesystem(with the latest to be released e2fsprogs-1.39). Tests includes overnight fsx, tiobench, dbench and fsstress. This patch: Defines ext3_fsblk_t and ext3_grpblk_t, and the printk format string for filesystem wide blocks. This patch classifies all block group relative blocks, and ext3_fsblk_t blocks occurs in the same function where used to be confusing before. Also include kernel bug fixes for filesystem wide in-kernel block variables. There are some fileystem wide blocks are treated as int/unsigned int type in the kernel currently, especially in ext3 block allocation and reservation code. This patch fixed those bugs by converting those variables to ext3_fsblk_t(unsigned long) type.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+138
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!
