Just have to be careful in read-/writepage and other helpers - not running under i_mutex that we play nice. Also need to be careful - with initialized_size extension in ntfs_file_write*() and writepage. - UPDATE: The only things that need to be checked are the compressed - write and the other attribute resize/write cases like index - attributes, etc. For now none of these are implemented so are safe. - - Implement filling in of holes in aops.c::ntfs_writepage() and its - helpers. - - Implement mft.c::sync_mft_mirror_umount(). We currently will just - leave the volume dirty on umount if the final iput(vol->mft_ino) - causes a write of any mirrored mft records due to the mft mirror - inode having been discarded already. Whether this can actually ever - happen is unclear however so it is worth waiting until someone hits - the problem. - -2.1.29 - Fix a deadlock at mount time. - - - During mount the VFS holds s_umount lock on the superblock. So when - we try to empty the journal $LogFile contents by calling - ntfs_attr_set() when the machine does not have much memory and the - journal is large ntfs_attr_set() results in the VM trying to balance - dirty pages which in turn tries to that the s_umount lock and thus we - get a deadlock. The solution is to not use ntfs_attr_set() and - instead do the zeroing by hand at the block level rather than page - cache level. - - Fix sparse warnings. - -2.1.28 - Fix a deadlock. - - - Fix deadlock in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_put_inode(). Thanks to Sergey - Vlasov for the report and detailed analysis of the deadlock. The fix - involved getting rid of ntfs_put_inode() altogether and hence NTFS no - longer has a ->put_inode super operation. - -2.1.27 - Various bug fixes and cleanups. - - - Fix two compiler warnings on Alpha. Thanks to Andrew Morton for - reporting them. - - Fix an (innocent) off-by-one error in the runlist code. - - Fix a buggette in an "should be impossible" case handling where we - continued the attribute lookup loop instead of aborting it. - - Use buffer_migrate_page() for the ->migratepage function of all ntfs - address space operations. - - Fix comparison of $MFT and $MFTMirr to not bail out when there are - unused, invalid mft records which are the same in both $MFT and - $MFTMirr. - - Add support for sparse files which have a compression unit of 0. - - Remove all the make_bad_inode() calls. This should only be called - from read inode and new inode code paths. - - Limit name length in fs/ntfs/unistr.c::ntfs_nlstoucs() to maximum - allowed by NTFS, i.e. 255 Unicode characters, not including the - terminating NULL (which is not stored on disk). - - Improve comments on file attribute flags in fs/ntfs/layout.h. - - Fix a bug in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_read_locked_index_inode() where we - forgot to update a temporary variable so loading index inodes which - have an index allocation attribute failed. - - Add a missing call to flush_dcache_mft_record_page() in - fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_write_inode(). - - Handle the recently introduced -ENAMETOOLONG return value from - fs/ntfs/unistr.c::ntfs_nlstoucs() in fs/ntfs/namei.c::ntfs_lookup(). - - Semaphore to mutex conversion. (Ingo Molnar) - -2.1.26 - Minor bug fixes and updates. - - - Fix a potential overflow in file.c where a cast to s64 was missing in - a left shift of a page index. - - The struct inode has had its i_sem semaphore changed to a mutex named - i_mutex. - - We have struct kmem_cache now so use it instead of the typedef - kmem_cache_t. (Pekka Enberg) - - Implement support for sector sizes above 512 bytes (up to the maximum - supported by NTFS which is 4096 bytes). - - Do more detailed reporting of why we cannot mount read-write by - special casing the VOLUME_MODIFIED_BY_CHKDSK flag. - - Miscellaneous updates to layout.h. - - Cope with attribute list attribute having invalid flags. Windows - copes with this and even chkdsk does not detect or fix this so we - have to cope with it, too. Thanks to Pawel Kot for reporting the - problem. - -2.1.25 - (Almost) fully implement write(2) and truncate(2). - - - Change ntfs_map_runlist_nolock(), ntfs_attr_find_vcn_nolock() and - {__,}ntfs_cluster_free() to also take an optional attribute search - context as argument. This allows calling these functions with the - mft record mapped. Update all callers. - - Fix potential deadlock in ntfs_mft_data_extend_allocation_nolock() - error handling by passing in the active search context when calling - ntfs_cluster_free(). - - Change ntfs_cluster_alloc() to take an extra boolean parameter - specifying whether the cluster are being allocated to extend an - attribute or to fill a hole. - - Change ntfs_attr_make_non_resident() to call ntfs_cluster_alloc() - with @is_extension set to TRUE and remove the runlist terminator - fixup code as this is now done by ntfs_cluster_alloc(). - - Change ntfs_attr_make_non_resident to take the attribute value size - as an extra parameter. This is needed since we need to know the size - before we can map the mft record and our callers always know it. The - reason we cannot simply read the size from the vfs inode i_size is - that this is not necessarily uptodate. This happens when - ntfs_attr_make_non_resident() is called in the ->truncate call path. - - Fix ntfs_attr_make_non_resident() to update the vfs inode i_blocks - which is zero for a resident attribute but should no longer be zero - once the attribute is non-resident as it then has real clusters - allocated. - - Add fs/ntfs/attrib.[hc]::ntfs_attr_extend_allocation(), a function to - extend the allocation of an attributes. Optionally, the data size, - but not the initialized size can be extended, too. - - Implement fs/ntfs/inode.[hc]::ntfs_truncate(). It only supports - uncompressed and unencrypted files and it never creates sparse files - at least for the moment (making a file sparse requires us to modify - its directory entries and we do not support directory operations at - the moment). Also, support for highly fragmented files, i.e. ones - whose data attribute is split across multiple extents, is severly - limited. When such a case is encountered, EOPNOTSUPP is returned. - - Enable ATTR_SIZE attribute changes in ntfs_setattr(). This completes - the initial implementation of file truncation. Now both open(2)ing - a file with the O_TRUNC flag and the {,f}truncate(2) system calls - will resize a file appropriately. The limitations are that only - uncompressed and unencrypted files are supported. Also, there is - only very limited support for highly fragmented files (the ones whose - $DATA attribute is split into multiple attribute extents). - - In attrib.c::ntfs_attr_set() call balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() - and cond_resched() in the main loop as we could be dirtying a lot of - pages and this ensures we play nice with the VM and the system as a - whole. - - Implement file operations ->write, ->aio_write, ->writev for regular - files. This replaces the old use of generic_file_write(), et al and - the address space operations ->prepare_write and ->commit_write. - This means that both sparse and non-sparse (unencrypted and - uncompressed) files can now be extended using the normal write(2) - code path. There are two limitations at present and these are that - we never create sparse files and that we only have limited support - for highly fragmented files, i.e. ones whose data attribute is split - across multiple extents. When such a case is encountered, - EOPNOTSUPP is returned. - - $EA attributes can be both resident and non-resident. - - Use %z for size_t to fix compilation warnings. (Andrew Morton) - - Fix compilation warnings with gcc-4.0.2 on SUSE 10.0. - - Document extended attribute ($EA) NEED_EA flag. (Based on libntfs - patch by Yura Pakhuchiy.) - -2.1.24 - Lots of bug fixes and support more clean journal states. - - - Support journals ($LogFile) which have been modified by chkdsk. This - means users can boot into Windows after we marked the volume dirty. - The Windows boot will run chkdsk and then reboot. The user can then - immediately boot into Linux rather than having to do a full Windows - boot first before rebooting into Linux and we will recognize such a - journal and empty it as it is clean by definition. Note, this only - works if chkdsk left the journal in an obviously clean state. - - Support journals ($LogFile) with only one restart page as well as - journals with two different restart pages. We sanity check both and - either use the only sane one or the more recent one of the two in the - case that both are valid. - - Add fs/ntfs/malloc.h::ntfs_malloc_nofs_nofail() which is analogous to - ntfs_malloc_nofs() but it performs allocations with __GFP_NOFAIL and - hence cannot fail. - - Use ntfs_malloc_nofs_nofail() in the two critical regions in - fs/ntfs/runlist.c::ntfs_runlists_merge(). This means we no longer - need to panic() if the allocation fails as it now cannot fail. - - Fix two nasty runlist merging bugs that had gone unnoticed so far. - Thanks to Stefano Picerno for the bug report. - - Remove two bogus BUG_ON()s from fs/ntfs/mft.c. - - Fix handling of valid but empty mapping pairs array in - fs/ntfs/runlist.c::ntfs_mapping_pairs_decompress(). - - Report unrepresentable inodes during ntfs_readdir() as KERN_WARNING - messages and include the inode number. Thanks to Yura Pakhuchiy for - pointing this out. - - Change ntfs_rl_truncate_nolock() to throw away the runlist if the new - length is zero. - - Add runlist.[hc]::ntfs_rl_punch_nolock() which punches a caller - specified hole into a runlist. - - Fix a bug in fs/ntfs/index.c::ntfs_index_lookup(). When the returned - index entry is in the index root, we forgot to set the @ir pointer in - the index context. Thanks to Yura Pakhuchiy for finding this bug. - - Remove bogus setting of PageError in ntfs_read_compressed_block(). - - Add fs/ntfs/attrib.[hc]::ntfs_resident_attr_value_resize(). - - Fix a bug in ntfs_map_runlist_nolock() where we forgot to protect - access to the allocated size in the ntfs inode with the size lock. - - Fix ntfs_attr_vcn_to_lcn_nolock() and ntfs_attr_find_vcn_nolock() to - return LCN_ENOENT when there is no runlist and the allocated size is - zero. - - Fix load_attribute_list() to handle the case of a NULL runlist. - - Fix handling of sparse attributes in ntfs_attr_make_non_resident(). - - Add BUG() checks to ntfs_attr_make_non_resident() and ntfs_attr_set() - to ensure that these functions are never called for compressed or - encrypted attributes. - - Fix cluster (de)allocators to work when the runlist is NULL and more - importantly to take a locked runlist rather than them locking it - which leads to lock reversal. - - Truncate {a,c,m}time to the ntfs supported time granularity when - updating the times in the inode in ntfs_setattr(). - - Fixup handling of sparse, compressed, and encrypted attributes in - fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_read_locked_{,attr_,index_}inode(), - fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_{read,write}page(). - - Make ntfs_write_block() not instantiate sparse blocks if they contain - only zeroes. - - Optimize fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_block() by extending the page - lock protection over the buffer submission for i/o which allows the - removal of the get_bh()/put_bh() pairs for each buffer. - - Fix fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_{read,write}_block() to handle the case - where a concurrent truncate has truncated the runlist under our feet. - - Fix page_has_buffers()/page_buffers() handling in fs/ntfs/aops.c. - - In fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_end_buffer_async_read(), use a bit spin lock - in the first buffer head instead of a driver global spin lock to - improve scalability. - - Minor fix to error handling and error message display in - fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_prepare_nonresident_write(). - - Change the mount options {u,f,d}mask to always parse the number as - an octal number to conform to how chmod(1) works, too. Thanks to - Giuseppe Bilotta and Horst von Brand for pointing out the errors of - my ways. - - Fix various bugs in the runlist merging code. (Based on libntfs - changes by Richard Russon.) - - Fix sparse warnings that have crept in over time. - - Change ntfs_cluster_free() to require a write locked runlist on entry - since we otherwise get into a lock reversal deadlock if a read locked - runlist is passed in. In the process also change it to take an ntfs - inode instead of a vfs inode as parameter. - - Fix the definition of the CHKD ntfs record magic. It had an off by - two error causing it to be CHKB instead of CHKD. - - Fix a stupid bug in __ntfs_bitmap_set_bits_in_run() which caused the - count to become negative and hence we had a wild memset() scribbling - all over the system's ram. - -2.1.23 - Implement extension of resident files and make writing safe as well as - many bug fixes, cleanups, and enhancements... - - - Add printk rate limiting for ntfs_warning() and ntfs_error() when - compiled without debug. This avoids a possible denial of service - attack. Thanks to Carl-Daniel Hailfinger from SuSE for pointing this - out. - - Fix compilation warnings on ia64. (Randy Dunlap) - - Use i_size_{read,write}() instead of reading i_size by hand and cache - the value where apropriate. - - Add size_lock to the ntfs_inode structure. This is an rw spinlock - and it locks against access to the inode sizes. Note, ->size_lock - is also accessed from irq context so you must use the _irqsave and - _irqrestore lock and unlock functions, respectively. Protect all - accesses to allocated_size, initialized_size, and compressed_size. - - Minor optimization to fs/ntfs/super.c::ntfs_statfs() and its helpers. - - Implement extension of resident files in the regular file write code - paths (fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_{prepare,commit}_write()). At present - this only works until the data attribute becomes too big for the mft - record after which we abort the write returning -EOPNOTSUPP from - ntfs_prepare_write(). - - Add disable_sparse mount option together with a per volume sparse - enable bit which is set appropriately and a per inode sparse disable - bit which is preset on some system file inodes as appropriate. - - Enforce that sparse support is disabled on NTFS volumes pre 3.0. - - Fix a bug in fs/ntfs/runlist.c::ntfs_mapping_pairs_decompress() in - the creation of the unmapped runlist element for the base attribute - extent. - - Split ntfs_map_runlist() into ntfs_map_runlist() and a non-locking - helper ntfs_map_runlist_nolock() which is used by ntfs_map_runlist(). - This allows us to map runlist fragments with the runlist lock already - held without having to drop and reacquire it around the call. Adapt - all callers. - - Change ntfs_find_vcn() to ntfs_find_vcn_nolock() which takes a locked - runlist. This allows us to find runlist elements with the runlist - lock already held without having to drop and reacquire it around the - call. Adapt all callers. - - Change time to u64 in time.h::ntfs2utc() as it otherwise generates a - warning in the do_div() call on sparc32. Thanks to Meelis Roos for - the report and analysis of the warning. - - Fix a nasty runlist merge bug when merging two holes. - - Set the ntfs_inode->allocated_size to the real allocated size in the - mft record for resident attributes (fs/ntfs/inode.c). - - Small readability cleanup to use "a" instead of "ctx->attr" - everywhere (fs/ntfs/inode.c). - - Make fs/ntfs/namei.c::ntfs_get_{parent,dentry} static and move the - definition of ntfs_export_ops from fs/ntfs/super.c to namei.c. Also, - declare ntfs_export_ops in fs/ntfs/ntfs.h. - - Correct sparse file handling. The compressed values need to be - checked and set in the ntfs inode as done for compressed files and - the compressed size needs to be used for vfs inode->i_blocks instead - of the allocated size, again, as done for compressed files. - - Add AT_EA in addition to AT_DATA to whitelist for being allowed to be - non-resident in fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_attr_can_be_non_resident(). - - Add fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_attr_vcn_to_lcn_nolock() used by the new - write code. - - Fix bug in fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_find_vcn_nolock() where after - dropping the read lock and taking the write lock we were not checking - whether someone else did not already do the work we wanted to do. - - Rename fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_find_vcn_nolock() to - ntfs_attr_find_vcn_nolock() and update all callers. - - Add fs/ntfs/attrib.[hc]::ntfs_attr_make_non_resident(). - - Fix sign of various error return values to be negative in - fs/ntfs/lcnalloc.c. - - Modify ->readpage and ->writepage (fs/ntfs/aops.c) so they detect and - handle the case where an attribute is converted from resident to - non-resident by a concurrent file write. - - Remove checks for NULL before calling kfree() since kfree() does the - checking itself. (Jesper Juhl) - - Some utilities modify the boot sector but do not update the checksum. - Thus, relax the checking in fs/ntfs/super.c::is_boot_sector_ntfs() to - only emit a warning when the checksum is incorrect rather than - refusing the mount. Thanks to Bernd Casimir for pointing this - problem out. - - Update attribute definition handling. - - Add NTFS_MAX_CLUSTER_SIZE and NTFS_MAX_PAGES_PER_CLUSTER constants. - - Use NTFS_MAX_CLUSTER_SIZE in super.c instead of hard coding 0x10000. - - Use MAX_BUF_PER_PAGE instead of variable sized array allocation for - better code generation and one less sparse warning in fs/ntfs/aops.c. - - Remove spurious void pointer casts from fs/ntfs/. (Pekka Enberg) - - Use C99 style structure initialization after memory allocation where - possible (fs/ntfs/{attrib.c,index.c,super.c}). Thanks to Al Viro and - Pekka Enberg. - - Stamp the transaction log ($UsnJrnl), aka user space journal, if it - is active on the volume and we are mounting read-write or remounting - from read-only to read-write. - - Fix a bug in address space operations error recovery code paths where - if the runlist was not mapped at all and a mapping error occured we - would leave the runlist locked on exit to the function so that the - next access to the same file would try to take the lock and deadlock. - - Detect the case when Windows has been suspended to disk on the volume - to be mounted and if this is the case do not allow (re)mounting - read-write. This is done by parsing hiberfil.sys if present. - - Fix several occurences of a bug where we would perform 'var & ~const' - with a 64-bit variable and a int, i.e. 32-bit, constant. This causes - the higher order 32-bits of the 64-bit variable to be zeroed. To fix - this cast the 'const' to the same 64-bit type as 'var'. - - Change the runlist terminator of the newly allocated cluster(s) to - LCN_ENOENT in ntfs_attr_make_non_resident(). Otherwise the runlist - code gets confused. - - Add an extra parameter @last_vcn to ntfs_get_size_for_mapping_pairs() - and ntfs_mapping_pairs_build() to allow the runlist encoding to be - partial which is desirable when filling holes in sparse attributes. - Update all callers. - - Change ntfs_map_runlist_nolock() to only decompress the mapping pairs - if the requested vcn is inside it. Otherwise we get into problems - when we try to map an out of bounds vcn because we then try to map - the already mapped runlist fragment which causes - ntfs_mapping_pairs_decompress() to fail and return error. Update - ntfs_attr_find_vcn_nolock() accordingly. - - Fix a nasty deadlock that appeared in recent kernels. - The situation: VFS inode X on a mounted ntfs volume is dirty. For - same inode X, the ntfs_inode is dirty and thus corresponding on-disk - inode, i.e. mft record, which is in a dirty PAGE_CACHE_PAGE belonging - to the table of inodes, i.e. $MFT, inode 0. - What happens: - Process 1: sys_sync()/umount()/whatever... calls - __sync_single_inode() for $MFT -> do_writepages() -> write_page for - the dirty page containing the on-disk inode X, the page is now locked - -> ntfs_write_mst_block() which clears PageUptodate() on the page to - prevent anyone else getting hold of it whilst it does the write out. - This is necessary as the on-disk inode needs "fixups" applied before - the write to disk which are removed again after the write and - PageUptodate is then set again. It then analyses the page looking - for dirty on-disk inodes and when it finds one it calls - ntfs_may_write_mft_record() to see if it is safe to write this - on-disk inode. This then calls ilookup5() to check if the - corresponding VFS inode is in icache(). This in turn calls ifind() - which waits on the inode lock via wait_on_inode whilst holding the - global inode_lock. - Process 2: pdflush results in a call to __sync_single_inode for the - same VFS inode X on the ntfs volume. This locks the inode (I_LOCK) - then calls write-inode -> ntfs_write_inode -> map_mft_record() -> - read_cache_page() for the page (in page cache of table of inodes - $MFT, inode 0) containing the on-disk inode. This page has - PageUptodate() clear because of Process 1 (see above) so - read_cache_page() blocks when it tries to take the page lock for the - page so it can call ntfs_read_page(). - Thus Process 1 is holding the page lock on the page containing the - on-disk inode X and it is waiting on the inode X to be unlocked in - ifind() so it can write the page out and then unlock the page. - And Process 2 is holding the inode lock on inode X and is waiting for - the page to be unlocked so it can call ntfs_readpage() or discover - that Process 1 set PageUptodate() again and use the page. - Thus we have a deadlock due to ifind() waiting on the inode lock. - The solution: The fix is to use the newly introduced - ilookup5_nowait() which does not wait on the inode's lock and hence - avoids the deadlock. This is safe as we do not care about the VFS - inode and only use the fact that it is in the VFS inode cache and the - fact that the vfs and ntfs inodes are one struct in memory to find - the ntfs inode in memory if present. Also, the ntfs inode has its - own locking so it does not matter if the vfs inode is locked. - - Fix bug in mft record writing where we forgot to set the device in - the buffers when mapping them after the VM had discarded them. - Thanks to Martin MOKREJÅ for the bug report. - -2.1.22 - Many bug and race fixes and error handling improvements. - - - Improve error handling in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_truncate(). - - Change fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_truncate() to return an error code - instead of void and provide a helper ntfs_truncate_vfs() for the - vfs ->truncate method. - - Add a new ntfs inode flag NInoTruncateFailed() and modify - fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_truncate() to set and clear it appropriately. - - Fix min_size and max_size definitions in ATTR_DEF structure in - fs/ntfs/layout.h to be signed. - - Add attribute definition handling helpers to fs/ntfs/attrib.[hc]: - ntfs_attr_size_bounds_check(), ntfs_attr_can_be_non_resident(), and - ntfs_attr_can_be_resident(), which in turn use the new private helper - ntfs_attr_find_in_attrdef(). - - In fs/ntfs/aops.c::mark_ntfs_record_dirty(), take the - mapping->private_lock around the dirtying of the buffer heads - analagous to the way it is done in __set_page_dirty_buffers(). - - Ensure the mft record size does not exceed the PAGE_CACHE_SIZE at - mount time as this cannot work with the current implementation. - - Check for location of attribute name and improve error handling in - general in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_read_locked_inode() and friends. - - In fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_writepage(), if the page is fully outside - i_size, i.e. race with truncate, invalidate the buffers on the page - so that they become freeable and hence the page does not leak. - - Remove unused function fs/ntfs/runlist.c::ntfs_rl_merge(). (Adrian - Bunk) - - Fix stupid bug in fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_attr_find() that resulted in - a NULL pointer dereference in the error code path when a corrupt - attribute was found. (Thanks to Domen Puncer for the bug report.) - - Add MODULE_VERSION() to fs/ntfs/super.c. - - Make several functions and variables static. (Adrian Bunk) - - Modify fs/ntfs/aops.c::mark_ntfs_record_dirty() so it allocates - buffers for the page if they are not present and then marks the - buffers belonging to the ntfs record dirty. This causes the buffers - to become busy and hence they are safe from removal until the page - has been written out. - - Fix stupid bug in fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_external_attr_find() in the - error handling code path that resulted in a BUG() due to trying to - unmap an extent mft record when the mapping of it had failed and it - thus was not mapped. (Thanks to Ken MacFerrin for the bug report.) - - Drop the runlist lock after the vcn has been read in - fs/ntfs/lcnalloc.c::__ntfs_cluster_free(). - - Rewrite handling of multi sector transfer errors. We now do not set - PageError() when such errors are detected in the async i/o handler - fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_end_buffer_async_read(). All users of mst - protected attributes now check the magic of each ntfs record as they - use it and act appropriately. This has the effect of making errors - granular per ntfs record rather than per page which solves the case - where we cannot access any of the ntfs records in a page when a - single one of them had an mst error. (Thanks to Ken MacFerrin for - the bug report.) - - Fix error handling in fs/ntfs/quota.c::ntfs_mark_quotas_out_of_date() - where we failed to release i_mutex on the $Quota/$Q attribute inode. - - Fix bug in handling of bad inodes in fs/ntfs/namei.c::ntfs_lookup(). - - Add mapping of unmapped buffers to all remaining code paths, i.e. - fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_mst_block(), mft.c::ntfs_sync_mft_mirror(), - and write_mft_record_nolock(). From now on we require that the - complete runlist for the mft mirror is always mapped into memory. - - Add creation of buffers to fs/ntfs/mft.c::ntfs_sync_mft_mirror(). - - Improve error handling in fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_{read,write}_block(). - - Cleanup fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_{read,write}page() since we know that a - resident attribute will be smaller than a page which makes the code - simpler. Also make the code more tolerant to concurrent ->truncate. - -2.1.21 - Fix some races and bugs, rewrite mft write code, add mft allocator. - - - Implement extent mft record deallocation - fs/ntfs/mft.c::ntfs_extent_mft_record_free(). - - Splitt runlist related functions off from attrib.[hc] to runlist.[hc]. - - Add vol->mft_data_pos and initialize it at mount time. - - Rename init_runlist() to ntfs_init_runlist(), ntfs_vcn_to_lcn() to - ntfs_rl_vcn_to_lcn(), decompress_mapping_pairs() to - ntfs_mapping_pairs_decompress(), ntfs_merge_runlists() to - ntfs_runlists_merge() and adapt all callers. - - Add fs/ntfs/runlist.[hc]::ntfs_get_nr_significant_bytes(), - ntfs_get_size_for_mapping_pairs(), ntfs_write_significant_bytes(), - and ntfs_mapping_pairs_build(), adapted from libntfs. - - Make fs/ntfs/lcnalloc.c::ntfs_cluster_free_from_rl_nolock() not - static and add a declaration for it to lcnalloc.h. - - Add fs/ntfs/lcnalloc.h::ntfs_cluster_free_from_rl() which is a static - inline wrapper for ntfs_cluster_free_from_rl_nolock() which takes the - cluster bitmap lock for the duration of the call. - - Add fs/ntfs/attrib.[hc]::ntfs_attr_record_resize(). - - Implement the equivalent of memset() for an ntfs attribute in - fs/ntfs/attrib.[hc]::ntfs_attr_set() and switch - fs/ntfs/logfile.c::ntfs_empty_logfile() to using it. - - Remove unnecessary casts from LCN_* constants. - - Implement fs/ntfs/runlist.c::ntfs_rl_truncate_nolock(). - - Add MFT_RECORD_OLD as a copy of MFT_RECORD in fs/ntfs/layout.h and - change MFT_RECORD to contain the NTFS 3.1+ specific fields. - - Add a helper function fs/ntfs/aops.c::mark_ntfs_record_dirty() which - marks all buffers belonging to an ntfs record dirty, followed by - marking the page the ntfs record is in dirty and also marking the vfs - inode containing the ntfs record dirty (I_DIRTY_PAGES). - - Switch fs/ntfs/index.h::ntfs_index_entry_mark_dirty() to using the - new helper fs/ntfs/aops.c::mark_ntfs_record_dirty() and remove the no - longer needed fs/ntfs/index.[hc]::__ntfs_index_entry_mark_dirty(). - - Move ntfs_{un,}map_page() from ntfs.h to aops.h and fix resulting - include errors. - - Move the typedefs for runlist_element and runlist from types.h to - runlist.h and fix resulting include errors. - - Remove unused {__,}format_mft_record() from fs/ntfs/mft.c. - - Modify fs/ntfs/mft.c::__mark_mft_record_dirty() to use the helper - mark_ntfs_record_dirty() which also changes the behaviour in that we - now set the buffers belonging to the mft record dirty as well as the - page itself. - - Update fs/ntfs/mft.c::write_mft_record_nolock() and sync_mft_mirror() - to cope with the fact that there now are dirty buffers in mft pages. - - Update fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_write_inode() to also use the helper - mark_ntfs_record_dirty() and thus to set the buffers belonging to the - mft record dirty as well as the page itself. - - Fix compiler warnings on x86-64 in fs/ntfs/dir.c. (Randy Dunlap, - slightly modified by me) - - Add fs/ntfs/mft.c::try_map_mft_record() which fails with -EALREADY if - the mft record is already locked and otherwise behaves the same way - as fs/ntfs/mft.c::map_mft_record(). - - Modify fs/ntfs/mft.c::write_mft_record_nolock() so that it only - writes the mft record if the buffers belonging to it are dirty. - Otherwise we assume that it was written out by other means already. - - Attempting to write outside initialized size is _not_ a bug so remove - the bug check from fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_mst_block(). It is in - fact required to write outside initialized size when preparing to - extend the initialized size. - - Map the page instead of using page_address() before writing to it in - fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_mft_writepage(). - - Provide exclusion between opening an inode / mapping an mft record - and accessing the mft record in fs/ntfs/mft.c::ntfs_mft_writepage() - by setting the page not uptodate throughout ntfs_mft_writepage(). - - Clear the page uptodate flag in fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_mst_block() - to ensure noone can see the page whilst the mst fixups are applied. - - Add the helper fs/ntfs/mft.c::ntfs_may_write_mft_record() which - checks if an mft record may be written out safely obtaining any - necessary locks in the process. This is used by - fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_mst_block(). - - Modify fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_mst_block() to also work for - writing mft records and improve its error handling in the process. - Now if any of the records in the page fail to be written out, all - other records will be written out instead of aborting completely. - - Remove ntfs_mft_aops and update all users to use ntfs_mst_aops. - - Modify fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_read_locked_inode() to set the - ntfs_mst_aops for all inodes which are NInoMstProtected() and - ntfs_aops for all other inodes. - - Rename fs/ntfs/mft.c::sync_mft_mirror{,_umount}() to - ntfs_sync_mft_mirror{,_umount}() and change their parameters so they - no longer require an ntfs inode to be present. Update all callers. - - Cleanup the error handling in fs/ntfs/mft.c::ntfs_sync_mft_mirror(). - - Clear the page uptodate flag in fs/ntfs/mft.c::ntfs_sync_mft_mirror() - to ensure noone can see the page whilst the mst fixups are applied. - - Remove the no longer needed fs/ntfs/mft.c::ntfs_mft_writepage() and - fs/ntfs/mft.c::try_map_mft_record(). - - Fix callers of fs/ntfs/aops.c::mark_ntfs_record_dirty() to call it - with the ntfs inode which contains the page rather than the ntfs - inode the mft record of which is in the page. - - Fix race condition in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_put_inode() by moving the - index inode bitmap inode release code from there to - fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_clear_big_inode(). (Thanks to Christoph - Hellwig for spotting this.) - - Fix race condition in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_put_inode() by taking the - inode semaphore around the code that sets ni->itype.index.bmp_ino to - NULL and reorganize the code to optimize it a bit. (Thanks to - Christoph Hellwig for spotting this.) - - Modify fs/ntfs/aops.c::mark_ntfs_record_dirty() to no longer take the - ntfs inode as a parameter as this is confusing and misleading and the - needed ntfs inode is available via NTFS_I(page->mapping->host). - Adapt all callers to this change. - - Modify fs/ntfs/mft.c::write_mft_record_nolock() and - fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_mst_block() to only check the dirty state - of the first buffer in a record and to take this as the ntfs record - dirty state. We cannot look at the dirty state for subsequent - buffers because we might be racing with - fs/ntfs/aops.c::mark_ntfs_record_dirty(). - - Move the static inline ntfs_init_big_inode() from fs/ntfs/inode.c to - inode.h and make fs/ntfs/inode.c::__ntfs_init_inode() non-static and - add a declaration for it to inode.h. Fix some compilation issues - that resulted due to #includes and header file interdependencies. - - Simplify setup of i_mode in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_read_locked_inode(). - - Add helpers fs/ntfs/layout.h::MK_MREF() and MK_LE_MREF(). - - Modify fs/ntfs/mft.c::map_extent_mft_record() to only verify the mft - record sequence number if it is specified (i.e. not zero). - - Add fs/ntfs/mft.[hc]::ntfs_mft_record_alloc() and various helper - functions used by it. - - Update Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt with instructions on how to - use the Device-Mapper driver with NTFS ftdisk/LDM raid. This removes - the linear raid problem with the Software RAID / MD driver when one - or more of the devices has an odd number of sectors. - -2.1.20 - Fix two stupid bugs introduced in 2.1.18 release. - - - Fix stupid bug in fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_attr_reinit_search_ctx() - where we did not clear ctx->al_entry but it was still set due to - changes in ntfs_attr_lookup() and ntfs_external_attr_find() in - particular. - - Fix another stupid bug in fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_external_attr_find() - where we forgot to unmap the extent mft record when we had finished - enumerating an attribute which caused a bug check to trigger when the - VFS calls ->clear_inode. - -2.1.19 - Many cleanups, improvements, and a minor bug fix. - - - Update ->setattr (fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_setattr()) to refuse to - change the uid, gid, and mode of an inode as we do not support NTFS - ACLs yet. - - Remove BKL use from ntfs_setattr() syncing up with the rest of the - kernel. - - Get rid of the ugly transparent union in fs/ntfs/dir.c::ntfs_readdir() - and ntfs_filldir() as per suggestion from Al Viro. - - Change '\0' and L'\0' to simply 0 as per advice from Linus Torvalds. - - Update ->truncate (fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_truncate()) to check if the - inode size has changed and to only output an error if so. - - Rename fs/ntfs/attrib.h::attribute_value_length() to ntfs_attr_size(). - - Add le{16,32,64} as well as sle{16,32,64} data types to - fs/ntfs/types.h. - - Change ntfschar to be le16 instead of u16 in fs/ntfs/types.h. - - Add le versions of VCN, LCN, and LSN called leVCN, leLCN, and leLSN, - respectively, to fs/ntfs/types.h. - - Update endianness conversion macros in fs/ntfs/endian.h to use the - new types as appropriate. - - Do proper type casting when using sle64_to_cpup() in fs/ntfs/dir.c - and index.c. - - Add leMFT_REF data type to fs/ntfs/layout.h. - - Update all NTFS header files with the new little endian data types. - Affected files are fs/ntfs/layout.h, logfile.h, and time.h. - - Do proper type casting when using ntfs_is_*_recordp() in - fs/ntfs/logfile.c, mft.c, and super.c. - - Fix all the sparse bitwise warnings. Had to change all the typedef - enums storing little endian values to simple enums plus a typedef for - the datatype to make sparse happy. - - Fix a bug found by the new sparse bitwise warnings where the default - upcase table was defined as a pointer to wchar_t rather than ntfschar - in fs/ntfs/ntfs.h and super.c. - - Change {const_,}cpu_to_le{16,32}(0) to just 0 as suggested by Al Viro. - -2.1.18 - Fix scheduling latencies at mount time as well as an endianness bug. - - - Remove vol->nr_mft_records as it was pretty meaningless and optimize - the calculation of total/free inodes as used by statfs(). - - Fix scheduling latencies in ntfs_fill_super() by dropping the BKL - because the code itself is using the ntfs_lock semaphore which - provides safe locking. (Ingo Molnar) - - Fix a potential bug in fs/ntfs/mft.c::map_extent_mft_record() that - could occur in the future for when we start closing/freeing extent - inodes if we don't set base_ni->ext.extent_ntfs_inos to NULL after - we free it. - - Rename {find,lookup}_attr() to ntfs_attr_{find,lookup}() as well as - find_external_attr() to ntfs_external_attr_find() to cleanup the - namespace a bit and to be more consistent with libntfs. - - Rename {{re,}init,get,put}_attr_search_ctx() to - ntfs_attr_{{re,}init,get,put}_search_ctx() as well as the type - attr_search_context to ntfs_attr_search_ctx. - - Force use of ntfs_attr_find() in ntfs_attr_lookup() when searching - for the attribute list attribute itself. - - Fix endianness bug in ntfs_external_attr_find(). - - Change ntfs_{external_,}attr_find() to return 0 on success, -ENOENT - if the attribute is not found, and -EIO on real error. In the case - of -ENOENT, the search context is updated to describe the attribute - before which the attribute being searched for would need to be - inserted if such an action were to be desired and in the case of - ntfs_external_attr_find() the search context is also updated to - indicate the attribute list entry before which the attribute list - entry of the attribute being searched for would need to be inserted - if such an action were to be desired. Also make ntfs_find_attr() - static and remove its prototype from attrib.h as it is not used - anywhere other than attrib.c. Update ntfs_attr_lookup() and all - callers of ntfs_{external,}attr_{find,lookup}() for the new return - values. - - Minor cleanup of fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_init_locked_inode(). - -2.1.17 - Fix bugs in mount time error code paths and other updates. - - - Implement bitmap modification code (fs/ntfs/bitmap.[hc]). This - includes functions to set/clear a single bit or a run of bits. - - Add fs/ntfs/attrib.[hc]::ntfs_find_vcn() which returns the locked - runlist element containing a particular vcn. It also takes care of - mapping any needed runlist fragments. - - Implement cluster (de-)allocation code (fs/ntfs/lcnalloc.[hc]). - - Load attribute definition table from $AttrDef at mount time. - - Fix bugs in mount time error code paths involving (de)allocation of - the default and volume upcase tables. - - Remove ntfs_nr_mounts as it is no longer used. - -2.1.16 - Implement access time updates, file sync, async io, and read/writev. - - - Add support for readv/writev and aio_read/aio_write (fs/ntfs/file.c). - This is done by setting the appropriate file operations pointers to - the generic helper functions provided by mm/filemap.c. - - Implement fsync, fdatasync, and msync both for files (fs/ntfs/file.c) - and directories (fs/ntfs/dir.c). - - Add support for {a,m,c}time updates to inode.c::ntfs_write_inode(). - Note, except for the root directory and any other system files opened - by the user, the system files will not have their access times - updated as they are only accessed at the inode level an hence the - file level functions which cause the times to be updated are never - invoked. - -2.1.15 - Invalidate quotas when (re)mounting read-write. - - - Add new element itype.index.collation_rule to the ntfs inode - structure and set it appropriately in ntfs_read_locked_inode(). - - Implement a new inode type "index" to allow efficient access to the - indices found in various system files and adapt inode handling - accordingly (fs/ntfs/inode.[hc]). An index inode is essentially an - attribute inode (NInoAttr() is true) with an attribute type of - AT_INDEX_ALLOCATION. As such, it is no longer allowed to call - ntfs_attr_iget() with an attribute type of AT_INDEX_ALLOCATION as - there would be no way to distinguish between normal attribute inodes - and index inodes. The function to obtain an index inode is - ntfs_index_iget() and it uses the helper function - ntfs_read_locked_index_inode(). Note, we do not overload - ntfs_attr_iget() as indices consist of multiple attributes so using - ntfs_attr_iget() to obtain an index inode would be confusing. - - Ensure that there is no overflow when doing page->index << - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT by casting page->index to s64 in fs/ntfs/aops.c. - - Use atomic kmap instead of kmap() in fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_read_page() - and ntfs_read_block(). - - Use case sensitive attribute lookups instead of case insensitive ones. - - Lock all page cache pages belonging to mst protected attributes while - accessing them to ensure we never see corrupt data while the page is - under writeout. - - Add framework for generic ntfs collation (fs/ntfs/collation.[hc]). - We have ntfs_is_collation_rule_supported() to check if the collation - rule you want to use is supported and ntfs_collation() which actually - collates two data items. We currently only support COLLATION_BINARY - and COLLATION_NTOFS_ULONG but support for other collation rules will - be added as the need arises. - - Add a new type, ntfs_index_context, to allow retrieval of an index - entry using the corresponding index key. To get an index context, - use ntfs_index_ctx_get() and to release it, use ntfs_index_ctx_put(). - This also adds a new slab cache for the index contexts. To lookup a - key in an index inode, use ntfs_index_lookup(). After modifying an - index entry, call ntfs_index_entry_flush_dcache_page() followed by - ntfs_index_entry_mark_dirty() to ensure the changes are written out - to disk. For details see fs/ntfs/index.[hc]. Note, at present, if - an index entry is in the index allocation attribute rather than the - index root attribute it will not be written out (you will get a - warning message about discarded changes instead). - - Load the quota file ($Quota) and check if quota tracking is enabled - and if so, mark the quotas out of date. This causes windows to - rescan the volume on boot and update all quota entries. - - Add a set_page_dirty address space operation for ntfs_m[fs]t_aops. - It is simply set to __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() to make sure that - running set_page_dirty() on a page containing mft/ntfs records will - not affect the dirty state of the page buffers. - - Add fs/ntfs/index.c::__ntfs_index_entry_mark_dirty() which sets all - buffers that are inside the ntfs record in the page dirty after which - it sets the page dirty. This allows ->writepage to only write the - dirty index records rather than having to write all the records in</ |
