2009-09-04dm snapshot: fix on disk chunk size validationMikulas Patocka
Fix some problems seen in the chunk size processing when activating a pre-existing snapshot. For a new snapshot, the chunk size can either be supplied by the creator or a default value can be used. For an existing snapshot, the chunk size in the snapshot header on disk should always be used. If someone attempts to load an existing snapshot and has the 'default chunk size' option set, the kernel uses its default value even when it is incorrect for the snapshot being loaded. This patch ensures the correct on-disk value is always used. Secondly, when the code does use the chunk size stored on the disk it is prudent to revalidate it, so the code can exit cleanly if it got corrupted as happened in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461506 .

2009-06-30dm exception store: really fix type lookupMilan Broz
Fix exception store name handling. We need to reference exception store by zero terminated string. Fixes regression introduced in commit f6bd4eb73cdf2a5bf954e497972842f39cabb7e3 Cc: Yi Yang <yi.y.yang@intel.com> Cc: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2009-06-22dm exception store: fix exstore lookup to be case insensitiveJonathan Brassow
When snapshots are created using 'p' instead of 'P' as the exception store type, the device-mapper table loading fails. This patch makes the code case insensitive as intended and fixes some regressions reported with device-mapper snapshots.

2009-05-22block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_sizeMartin K. Petersen
Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device. With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain 512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size and the logical ditto. This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2009-01-06dm snapshot: separate out exception store interfaceJonathan Brassow
Pull structures that bridge the gap between snapshot and exception store out of dm-snap.h and put them in a new .h file - dm-exception-store.h. This file will define the API for new exception stores.

2007-07-12dm snapshot: permit invalid activationMilan Broz
Allow invalid snapshots to be activated instead of failing.

2007-07-12dm snapshot: fix invalidation deadlockMilan Broz
Process persistent exception store metadata IOs in a separate thread. A snapshot may become invalid while inside generic_make_request(). A synchronous write is then needed to update the metadata while still inside that function. Since the introduction of md-dm-reduce-stack-usage-with-stacked-block-devices.patch this has to be performed by a separate thread to avoid deadlock.

2006-10-03[PATCH] dm snapshot: fix metadata writing when suspendingMark McLoughlin
When suspending a device-mapper device, dm_suspend() sleeps until all necessary I/O is completed. This state is triggered by a callback from persistent_commit(). But some I/O can still be issued *after* the callback (to prepare the next metadata area for use if the current one is full). This patch delays the callback until after that I/O is complete.

read_exception() and write_exception() only return an error if supplied with an out-of-range index.

2006-10-03[PATCH] dm snapshot: allow zero chunk_sizeMark McLoughlin

2006-06-26[PATCH] dm snapshot: unify chunk_sizeAlasdair G Kergon
Persistent snapshots currently store a private copy of the chunk size. Userspace also supplies the chunk size when loading a snapshot. Ensure consistency by only storing the chunk_size in one place instead of two. Currently the two sizes will differ if the chunk size supplied by userspace does not match the chunk size an existing snapshot actually uses. Amongst other problems, this causes an incorrect 'percentage full' to be reported. The patch ensures consistency by only storing the chunk_size in one place, removing it from struct pstore. Some initialisation is delayed until the correct chunk_size is known. If read_header() discovers that the wrong chunk size was supplied, the 'area' buffer (which the header already got read into) is reinitialised to the correct size.

2005-09-10[PATCH] vfree and kfree cleanup in drivers/Jesper Juhl
This patch does a full cleanup of 'NULL checks before vfree', and a partial cleanup of calls to kfree for all of drivers/ - the kfree bit is partial in that I only did the files that also had vfree calls in them. The patch also gets rid of some redundant (void *) casts of pointers being passed to [vk]free, and a some tiny whitespace corrections also crept in.

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!
