2010-03-05dquot: cleanup dquot initialize routineChristoph Hellwig
Get rid of the initialize dquot operation - it is now always called from the filesystem and if a filesystem really needs it's own (which none currently does) it can just call into it's own routine directly. Rename the now static low-level dquot_initialize helper to __dquot_initialize and vfs_dq_init to dquot_initialize to have a consistent namespace.

2010-03-05dquot: move dquot drop responsibility into the filesystemChristoph Hellwig

Get rid of the alloc_inode and free_inode dquot operations - they are always called from the filesystem and if a filesystem really needs their own (which none currently does) it can just call into it's own routine directly. Also get rid of the vfs_dq_alloc/vfs_dq_free wrappers and always call the lowlevel dquot_alloc_inode / dqout_free_inode routines directly, which now lose the number argument which is always 1.

Get rid of the alloc_space, free_space, reserve_space, claim_space and release_rsv dquot operations - they are always called from the filesystem and if a filesystem really needs their own (which none currently does) it can just call into it's own routine directly. Move shared logic into the common __dquot_alloc_space, dquot_claim_space_nodirty and __dquot_free_space low-level methods, and rationalize the wrappers around it to move as much as possible code into the common block for CONFIG_QUOTA vs not.

2009-12-23ext3: ext3_mark_recovery_complete() doesn't need to use lock_superEric Sandeen
The function ext3_mark_recovery_complete() is called from two call paths: either (a) while mounting the filesystem, in which case there's no danger of any other CPU calling write_super() until the mount is completed, and (b) while remounting the filesystem read-write, in which case the fs core has already locked the superblock. This also allows us to take out a very vile unlock_super()/lock_super() pair in ext3_remount(). Port of ext4 commit a63c9eb2ce6f5028da90f282798232c4f398ceb8 by Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>.

This is one of the accesses that was causing the crc errors in journal replay as seen in kernel.org bugzilla #14354. The modifications were originally to keep the sb "more" in sync, so that a readonly fsck of the device didn't flag this as an error (as often), but apparently e2fsprogs deals with this differently now, anyway.

2009-08-24ext3: Improve error message that changing journaling mode on remount is not ↵Jan Kara
possible This patch makes the error message about changing journaling mode on remount more descriptive. Some people are going to hit this error now due to commit bbae8bcc49bc4d002221dab52c79a50a82e7cd1f if they configure a kernel to default to data=writeback mode. The problem happens if they have data=ordered set for the root filesystem in /etc/fstab but not in the kernel command line (and they don't use initrd). Their filesystem then gets mounted as data=writeback by kernel but then their boot fails because init scripts won't be able to remount the filesystem rw. Better error message will hopefully make it easier for them to find the error in their setup and bother us less with error reports :). Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

Note that since we can't run into contention between remount_fs and write_super (due to exclusion on s_umount), we have to care only about filesystems that touch lock_super() on their own. Out of those ext3, ext4, hpfs, sysv and ufs do need it; fat doesn't since its ->remount_fs() only accesses assign-once data (basically, it's "we have no atime on directories and only have atime on files for vfat; force nodiratime and possibly noatime into *flags").

Most of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually. Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.

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.

This reverts commit c87591b719737b4e91eb1a9fa8fd55a4ff1886d6. Since journal_start_commit() is now fixed to return 1 when we started a transaction commit, there's some transaction waiting to be committed or there's a transaction already committing, we don't need to call ext3_force_commit() in ext3_sync_fs(). Furthermore ext3_force_commit() can unnecessarily create sync transaction which is expensive so it's worthwhile to remove it when we can.

2009-01-09filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfsTakashi Sato
Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and replication) while it is mounted. In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature and it would be used to get the consistent backup. If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it without a commercial filesystem. So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature. I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps. 1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl. 2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot with the storage device's feature. 3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl. 4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume or the snapshot. This patch: VFS: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they can return an error. Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion. ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed, and unlockfs always returns 0. reiserfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

2009-01-08ext3: allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock separatelyPekka Enberg
As spotted by kmemtrace, struct ext3_sb_info is 17152 bytes on 64-bit which makes it a very bad fit for SLAB allocators. The culprit of the wasted memory is ->s_blockgroup_lock which can be as big as 16 KB when NR_CPUS >= 32. To fix that, allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock, which fits nicely in a order 2 page in the worst case, separately. This shinks down struct ext3_sb_info enough to fit a 1 KB slab cache so now we allocate 16 KB + 1 KB instead of 32 KB saving 15 KB of memory.

2009-01-05ext3: provide function to release metadata pages under memory pressureToshiyuki Okajima
Pages in the page cache belonging to ext3 data files are released via the ext3_releasepage() function specified in the ext3 inode's address_space_ops. However, metadata blocks (such as indirect blocks, directory blocks, etc) are managed via the block device address_space_ops, and they can not be released by try_to_free_buffers() if they have a journal head attached to them. To address this, we supply a try_to_free_pages() function which calls journal_try_to_free_buffers() function to free the metadata, and which is called by the block device's blkdev_releasepage() function.

2008-11-06ext3: wait on all pending commits in ext3_sync_fsArthur Jones
In ext3_sync_fs, we only wait for a commit to finish if we started it, but there may be one already in progress which will not be synced. In the case of a data=ordered umount with pending long symlinks which are delayed due to a long list of other I/O on the backing block device, this causes the buffer associated with the long symlinks to not be moved to the inode dirty list in the second phase of fsync_super. Then, before they can be dirtied again, kjournald exits, seeing the UMOUNT flag and the dirty pages are never written to the backing block device, causing long symlink corruption and exposing new or previously freed block data to userspace. This can be reproduced with a script created by Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>: #!/bin/bash umount /mnt/test2 mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2 rm -f /mnt/test2/* dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test2/bigfile bs=1M count=512 touch /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename ln -s /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename /mnt/test2/link umount /mnt/test2 mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2 ls /mnt/test2/ umount /mnt/test2 To ensure all commits are synced, we flush all journal commits now when sync_fs'ing ext3.

Vegard Nossum reported a bug which accesses freed memory (found via kmemcheck). When journal has been aborted, ext3_put_super() calls ext3_abort() after freeing the journal_t object, and then ext3_abort() accesses it. This patch fix it.

2008-10-23ext3 quota support: fix compile failureLinus Torvalds
This one was due to a merge error: we added a use of nd.path in commit 2d7c820e56ce83b23daee9eb5343730fb309418e ("ext3: add checks for errors from jbd"), and concurrently we got rid of 'nd' and used a naked 'path' in commit 8264613def2e5c4f12bc3167713090fd172e6055 ("[PATCH] switch quota_on-related stuff to kern_path()"). That all merged cleanly, but it didn't actually _work_. This should fix it. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
