2009-03-16xfs: remove another leftover of the old inode log item formatChristoph Hellwig
There's another little snipplet of code left from the handling of the old inode log item format in xlog_recover_do_inode_trans. Kill it as it can't be reached anymore. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com>
2009-03-16xfs: cleanup log unmount handlingChristoph Hellwig
Kill the current xfs_log_unmount wrapper and opencode the two function calls in the only caller. Rename the current xfs_log_unmount_dealloc to xfs_log_unmount as it undoes xfs_log_mount and the new name makes that more clear.

2009-01-21Long btree pointers are still 64 bit on diskDave Chinner
[XFS] Long btree pointers are still 64 bit on disk On 32 bit machines with CONFIG_LBD=n, XFS reduces the in memory size of xfs_fsblock_t to 32 bits so that it will fit within 32 bit addressing. However, the disk format for long btree pointers are still 64 bits in size. The recent btree rewrite failed to take this into account when initialising new btree blocks, setting sibling pointers to NULL and checking if they are NULL. Hence checking whether a 64 bit NULL was the same as a 32 bit NULL was failingi resulting in NULL sibling pointers failing to be detected correctly. This showed up as WANT_CORRUPTED_GOTO shutdowns in xfs_btree_delrec. Fix this by making all the comparisons and setting of long pointer btree NULL blocks to the disk format, not the in memory format. i.e. use NULLDFSBNO.

2009-01-19xfs: fix dentry aliasing issues in open_by_handleChristoph Hellwig
Open by handle just grabs an inode by handle and then creates itself a dentry for it. While this works for regular files it is horribly broken for directories, where the VFS locking relies on the fact that there is only just one single dentry for a given inode, and that these are always connected to the root of the filesystem so that it's locking algorithms work (see Documentations/filesystems/Locking) Remove all the existing open by handle code and replace it with a small wrapper around the exportfs code which deals with all these issues. At the same time we also make the checks for a valid handle strict enough to reject all not perfectly well formed handles - given that we never hand out others that's okay and simplifies the code.

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.

2009-01-09[XFS] truncate readdir offsets to signed 32 bit valuesChristoph Hellwig
John Stanley reported EOVERFLOW errors in readdir from his self-build glibc. I traced this down to glibc enabling d_off overflow checks in one of the about five million different getdents implementations. In 2.6.28 Dave Woodhouse moved our readdir double buffering required for NFS4 readdirplus into nfsd and at that point we lost the capping of the directory offsets to 32 bit signed values. Johns glibc used getdents64 to even implement readdir for normal 32 bit offset dirents, and failed with EOVERFLOW only if this happens on the first dirent in a getdents call. I managed to come up with a testcase that uses raw getdents and does the EOVERFLOW check manually. We always hit it with our last entry due to the special end of directory marker. The patch below is a dumb version of just putting back the masking, to make sure we have the same behavior as in 2.6.27 and earlier. I will work on a better and cleaner fix for 2.6.30.
