ToDo/Notes:
- Find and fix bugs.
- In between ntfs_prepare/commit_write, need exclusion between
simultaneous file extensions. This is given to us by holding i_sem
on the inode. The only places in the kernel when a file is resized
are prepare/commit write and truncate for both of which i_sem is
held. Just have to be careful in readpage/writepage and all other
helpers not running under i_sem that we play nice...
Also need to be careful with initialized_size extention in
ntfs_prepare_write. Basically, just be _very_ careful in this code...
UPDATE: The only things that need to be checked are read/writepage
which do not hold i_sem. Note writepage cannot change i_size but it
needs to cope with a concurrent i_size change, just like readpage.
Also both need to cope with concurrent changes to the other sizes,
i.e. initialized/allocated/compressed size, as well.
- 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.
- Enable the code for setting the NT4 compatibility flag when we start
making NTFS 1.2 specific modifications.
2.1.25-WIP
- 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.
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
