2011-03-02ufs: remove the BKLArnd Bergmann
This introduces a new per-superblock mutex in UFS to replace the big kernel lock. I have been careful to avoid nested calls to lock_ufs and to get the lock order right with respect to other mutexes, in particular lock_super. I did not make any attempt to prove that the big kernel lock is not needed in a particular place in the code, which is very possible. The mutex has a significant performance impact, so it is only used on SMP or PREEMPT configurations. As Nick Piggin noticed, any allocation inside of the lock may end up deadlocking when we get to ufs_getfrag_block in the reclaim task, so we now use GFP_NOFS.

2010-08-18remove SWRITE* I/O typesChristoph Hellwig
These flags aren't real I/O types, but tell ll_rw_block to always lock the buffer instead of giving up on a failed trylock. Instead add a new write_dirty_buffer helper that implements this semantic and use it from the existing SWRITE* callers. Note that the ll_rw_block code had a bug where it didn't promote WRITE_SYNC_PLUG properly, which this patch fixes. In the ufs code clean up the helper that used to call ll_rw_block to mirror sync_dirty_buffer, which is the function it implements for compound buffers.

2008-02-08drop linux/ufs_fs.h from userspace export and relocate it to fs/ufs/ufs_fs.hMike Frysinger
Per previous discussions about cleaning up ufs_fs.h, people just want this straight up dropped from userspace export. The only remaining consumer (silo) has been fixed a while ago to not rely on this header. This allows use to move it completely from include/linux/ to fs/ufs/ seeing as how the only in-kernel consumer is fs/ufs/.

2007-10-17ufs: move non-layout parts of ufs_fs.h to fs/ufs/Christoph Hellwig
Move prototypes and in-core structures to fs/ufs/ similar to what most other filesystems already do. I made little modifications: move also ufs debug macros and mount options constants into fs/ufs/ufs.h, this stuff also private for ufs.

2007-05-07mm: make read_cache_page synchronousNick Piggin
Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls. I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7 possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return with a !uptodate page.

2006-08-06[PATCH] ufs: handle truncated pagesEvgeniy Dushistov
ufs_get_locked_page is called twice in ufs code, one time in ufs_truncate path(we allocated last block), and another time when fragments are reallocated. In ideal world in the second case on allocation/free block layer we should not know that things like `truncate' exists, but now with such crutch like ufs_get_locked_page we can (or should?) skip truncated pages.

2006-08-06[PATCH] ufs: ufs_get_locked_page() race fixEvgeniy Dushistov
As discussed earlier: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/6/28/136 this patch fixes such issue: `ufs_get_locked_page' takes page from cache after that `vmtruncate' takes page and deletes it from cache `ufs_get_locked_page' locks page, and reports about EIO error. Also because of find_lock_page always return valid page or NULL, we have no need to check it if page not NULL.

2006-07-01[PATCH] ufs: truncate should allocate block for last byteEvgeniy Dushistov
This patch fixes buggy behaviour of UFS in such kind of scenario: open(, O_TRUNC...) ftruncate(, 1024) ftruncate(, 0) Such a scenario causes ufs_panic and remount read-only. This happen because of according to specification UFS should always allocate block for last byte, and many parts of our implementation rely on this, but `ufs_truncate' doesn't care about this. To make possible return error code and to know about old size, this patch removes `truncate' from ufs inode_operations and uses `setattr' method to call ufs_truncate.

2006-06-25[PATCH] ufs: ubh_ll_rw_block cleanupEvgeniy Dushistov
In ufs code there is function: ubh_ll_rw_block, it has parameter how many ufs_buffer_head it should handle, but it always called with "1" on the place of this parameter. This patch removes unused parameter of "ubh_ll_wr_block".

Currently to turn on debug mode "user" has to edit ~10 files, to turn off he has to do it again.

2006-06-25[PATCH] ufs: wrong type castEvgeniy Dushistov
There are two ugly macros in ufs code: #define UCPI_UBH ((struct ufs_buffer_head *)ucpi) #define USPI_UBH ((struct ufs_buffer_head *)uspi) when uspi looks like struct { struct ufs_buffer_head ; } and USPI_UBH has some sence, ucpi looks like struct { struct not_ufs_buffer_head; } To prevent bugs in future, this patch convert macros to inline function and fix "ucpi" structure.

2006-06-25[PATCH] ufs: ufs_trunc_indirect: infinite cycleEvgeniy Dushistov
Currently, ufs write support have two sets of problems: work with files and work with directories. This series of patches should solve the first problem. This patch is similar to http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/17/61 this patch complements it. The situation the same: in ufs_trunc_(not direct), we read block, check if count of links to it is equal to one, if so we finish cycle, if not continue. Because of "count of links" always >=2 this operation cause infinite cycle and hang up the kernel.

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!
