2015-04-15dax: unify ext2/4_{dax,}_file_operationsBoaz Harrosh
The original dax patchset split the ext2/4_file_operations because of the two NULL splice_read/splice_write in the dax case. In the vfs if splice_read/splice_write are NULL we then call default_splice_read/write. What we do here is make generic_file_splice_read aware of IS_DAX() so the original ext2/4_file_operations can be used as is. For write it appears that iter_file_splice_write is just fine. It uses the regular f_op->write(file,..) or new_sync_write(file, ...).

2011-07-21fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlersJosef Bacik
Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

2011-02-01fs/vfs/security: pass last path component to LSM on inode creationEric Paris
SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created inodes. We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating process. This new behavior would also take into account the name of the new object when deciding the new label. This is not the (supposed) full path, just the last component of the path. This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating /etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these operations. We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops to get things set up correctly. This patch does not implement new behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook. If no such name exists it is fine to pass NULL. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2010-08-09clean up write_begin usage for directories in pagecacheChristoph Hellwig
For filesystem that implement directories in pagecache we call block_write_begin with an already allocated page for this code, while the normal regular file write path uses the default block_write_begin behaviour. Get rid of the __foofs_write_begin helper and opencode the normal write_begin call in foofs_write_begin, while adding a new foofs_prepare_chunk helper for the directory code. The added benefit is that foofs_prepare_chunk has a much saner calling convention. Note that the interruptible flag passed into block_write_begin is always ignored if we already pass in a page (see next patch for details), and we never were doing truncations of exessive blocks for this case either so we can switch directly to block_write_begin_newtrunc.

2009-12-16ext2: report metadata errors during fsyncJan Kara
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.

2009-06-18ext2: Do not update mtime of a moved directoryJan Kara
One of our users is complaining that his backup tool is upset on ext2 (while it's happy on ext3, xfs, ...) because of the mtime change. The problem is: mkdir foo mkdir bar mkdir foo/a Now under ext2: mv foo/a foo/b changes mtime of 'foo/a' (foo/b after the move). That does not really make sense and it does not happen under any other filesystem I've seen. More complicated is: mv foo/a bar/a This changes mtime of foo/a (bar/a after the move) and it makes some sense since we had to update parent directory pointer of foo/a. But again, no other filesystem does this. So after some thoughts I'd vote for consistency and change ext2 to behave the same as other filesystems. Do not update mtime of a moved directory. Specs don't say anything about it (neither that it should, nor that it should not be updated) and other common filesystems (ext3, ext4, xfs, reiserfs, fat, ...) don't do it. So let's become more consistent. Spotted by ronny.pretzsch@dfs.de, initial fix by Jörn Engel.

2008-10-03generic block based fiemap implementationJosef Bacik
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.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ext2 corruption - regression between 2.6.9 and 2.6.10Bernard Blackham
Whilst trying to stress test a Promise SX8 card, we stumbled across some nasty filesystem corruption in ext2. Our tests involved creating an ext2 partition, mounting, running several concurrent fsx's over it, umounting, and fsck'ing, all scripted[1]. The fsck would always return with errors. This regression was traced back to a change between 2.6.9 and 2.6.10, which moves the functionality of ext2_put_inode into ext2_clear_inode. The attached patch reverses this change, and eliminated the source of corruption. Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> said: I think his patch for ext2 is correct. The corruption on ext3 is not the same issue he saw on ext2. I believe that's the race between discard reservation and reservation in-use that we already fixed it in 2.6.12- rc1. For the problem related to ext2, at the time when we design reservation for ext3, we decide we only need to discard the reservation at the last file close, so we have ext3_discard_reservation on iput_final- >ext3_clear_inode. The ext2 handle discard preallocation differently at that time, it discard the preallocation at each iput(), not in input_final(), so we think it's unnecessary to thrash it so frequently, and the right thing to do, as we did for ext3 reservation, discard preallocation on last iput(). So we moved the ext2_discard_preallocation from ext2_put_inode(0 to ext2_clear_inode. Since ext2 preallocation is doing pre-allocation on disk, so it is possible that at the unmount time, someone is still hold the reference of the inode, so the preallocation for a file is not discard yet, so we still mark those blocks allocated on disk, while they are not actually in the inode's block map, so fsck will catch/fix that error later. This is not a issue for ext3, as ext3 reservation(pre-allocation) is done in memory. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

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!
