2006-06-27[JFFS2][XATTR] using 'delete marker' for xdatum/xref deletionKaiGai Kohei
- When xdatum is removed, a new xdatum with 'delete marker' is written. (version==0xffffffff means 'delete marker') - When xref is removed, a new xref with 'delete marker' is written. (odd-numbered xseqno means 'delete marker') - delete_xattr_(datum/xref)_delay() are new deletion functions are added. We can only use them if we can detect the target obsolete xdatum/xref as a orphan or errir one. (e.g when inode deletion, or detecting crc error) [1/3] jffs2-xattr-v6-01-delete_marker.patch Signed-off-by: KaiGai Kohei <kaigai@ak.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

2006-05-24[JFFS2] Reduce visibility of raw_node_ref to upper layers of JFFS2 code.David Woodhouse
As the first step towards eliminating the ref->next_phys member and saving memory by using an _array_ of struct jffs2_raw_node_ref per eraseblock, stop the write functions from allocating their own refs; have them just _reserve_ the appropriate number instead. Then jffs2_link_node_ref() can just fill them in. Use a linked list of pre-allocated refs in the superblock, for now. Once we switch to an array, it'll just be a case of extending that array.

2006-05-23[JFFS2] Remove flash offset argument from various functions.David Woodhouse
We don't need the upper layers to deal with the physical offset. It's _always_ c->nextblock->offset + c->sector_size - c->nextblock->free_size so we might as well just let the actual write functions deal with that. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2006-05-22[JFFS2] Extend jffs2_link_node_ref() to link into per-inode list too.David Woodhouse
Let's avoid the potential for forgetting to set ref->next_in_ino, by doing it within jffs2_link_node_ref() instead. This highlights the ugliness of what we're currently doing with xattr_datum and xattr_ref structures -- we should find a nicer way of dealing with that.

2006-05-21[JFFS2] Add length argument to jffs2_add_physical_node_ref()David Woodhouse
If __totlen is going away, we need to pass the length in separately. Also stop callers from needlessly setting ref->next_phys to NULL, since that's done for them... and since that'll also be going away soon. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

2006-05-13[JFFS2][XATTR] Remove jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr(c, ic)KaiGai Kohei
Remove jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr(c, ic). jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr_datum/ref() are called from gc.c directly. In original implementation, jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr(c, ic) returns with holding a spinlock if 'ic' is inode_cache. But it returns after releasing a spinlock if 'ic' is xattr_datum/ref. It looks so confusable behavior. Thus, this patch makes caller manage locking/unlocking. [5/10] jffs2-xattr-v5.1-05-update_xattr_gc.patch Signed-off-by: KaiGai Kohei <kaigai@ak.jp.nec.com>

2006-05-13[JFFS2][XATTR] XATTR support on JFFS2 (version. 5)KaiGai Kohei
This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5). There are some significant differences from previous version posted at last December. The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support. Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype. In addition, some bugs are fixed. - A potential race condition was fixed. - Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed. - A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed. The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed and updated if necessary. Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.
