[PATCH] ext2: errors behaviour fix

2006-10-11T18:14:21Z

Current error behaviour for ext2 and ext3 filesystems does not fully correspond to the documentation and should be fixed. According to man 8 mount, ext2 and ext3 file systems allow to set one of 3 different on-errors behaviours: ---- start of quote man 8 mount ---- errors=continue / errors=remount-ro / errors=panic Define the behaviour when an error is encountered. (Either ignore errors and just mark the file system erroneous and continue, or remount the file system read-only, or panic and halt the system.) The default is set in the filesystem superblock, and can be changed using tune2fs(8). ---- end of quote ---- However EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock, and thus ERRORS_CONT is not saved on the sbi->s_mount_opt. It leads to the incorrect handle of errors on ext3. Then we've checked corresponding code in ext2 and discovered that it is buggy as well: - EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock (the same); - parse_option() does not clean the alternative values and thus something like (ERRORS_CONT|ERRORS_RO) can be set; - if options are omitted, parse_option() does not set any of these options. Therefore it is possible to set any combination of these options on the ext2: - none of them may be set: EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE on superblock / empty mount options; - any of them may be set using mount options; - 2 any options may be set: by using EXT2_ERRORS_RO/EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the superblock and other value in mount options; - and finally all three options may be set by adding third option in remount. Currently ext2 uses these values only in ext2_error() and it is not leading to any noticeable troubles. However somebody may be discouraged when he will try to workaround EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the superblock by using errors=continue in mount options. This patch: EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE should be read from the superblock as default value for error behaviour. parse_option() should clean the alternative options and should not change default value taken from the superblock.

[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: unlink: monitor i_nlink

2006-10-01T07:39:30Z

When a filesystem decrements i_nlink to zero, it means that a write must be performed in order to drop the inode from the filesystem. We're shortly going to have keep filesystems from being remounted r/o between the time that this i_nlink decrement and that write occurs. So, add a little helper function to do the decrements. We'll tie into it in a bit to note when i_nlink hits zero. Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Streamline generic_file_* interfaces and filemap cleanups

2006-10-01T07:39:28Z

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 Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] BLOCK: Move the Ext2 device ioctl compat stuff to the Ext2 driver [try #6]

[PATCH] inode-diet: Eliminate i_blksize from the inode structure

2006-09-27T15:26:18Z

This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode. Filesystems that want to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function. Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect) values for i_blksize.

[PATCH] Really ignore kmem_cache_destroy return value

2006-09-27T15:26:10Z

* Rougly half of callers already do it by not checking return value * Code in drivers/acpi/osl.c does the following to be sure: (void)kmem_cache_destroy(cache); * Those who check it printk something, however, slab_error already printed the name of failed cache. * XFS BUGs on failed kmem_cache_destroy which is not the decision low-level filesystem driver should make.
