  • 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.

  • Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in ->setattr by adding
    those checks to inode_change_ok. Also clean up and document inode_change_ok
    to make this obvious.

    As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and
    simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error. This
    simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize
    almost everywhere. Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark
    ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious.

    Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an
    audit for its removal anyway.

    Note: setattr code in ecryptfs doesn't call inode_change_ok at all and
    needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.

  • When using the string representation of a random counter as part of the base
    name, ensure that it is no longer than 4 bytes.

    Since we are repeatedly decrementing the counter in a loop until we have found a
    unique base name, the counter may wrap around zero; therefore, it is not enough
    to mask its higher bits before entering the loop, this must be done inside the
    loop.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • After d_find_alias(), vfat_lookup() checks !(->d_flags & DCACHE_DISCONNECTED)
    without IS_ROOT(). This means it hits non-anonymous but disconnected
    dentry. (NOTE: d_splice_alias() doesn't clear DCACHE_DISCONNECTED)

    But, vfat_lookup() has interest to alias if it was non-anonymous. So,
    this adds vfat_d_anon_disconn() helper to check it correctly.

    Another bug is refcnt leak. It needs dput() for uninterested alias.

  • If we didn't check sb->s_dirt, it will update the FSINFO
    unconditionally. It will reduce the filetime of flash base device.

    So, this checks sb->s_dirt. sb->s_dirt is racy, however FSINFO is just
    hint. So even if there is race, and we hit it, it would not become big
    problem.

    And this also is as workaround of suspend problem.

    a standard syncing path.

  • Because, with "shortname=lower", copying one FAT filesystem tree to
    another FAT filesystem tree using Linux results in semantically
    different filesystems. (E.g.: Filenames which were once "all

  • With utf8 option, vfat allowed the duplicated filenames.

    Normal nls returns -EINVAL for invalid char. But utf8s_to_utf16s()
    skipped the invalid char historically.

    So, this changes the utf8s_to_utf16s() directly to return -EINVAL for
    invalid char, because vfat is only user of it.

    mkdir /mnt/fatfs
    FILENAME=`echo -ne "invalidutf8char_\\0341_endofchar"`
    echo "Using filename: $FILENAME"
    dd if=/dev/zero of=fatfs bs=512 count=128

  • This patch (as1239) updates the kernel's treatment of Unicode. The
    character-set conversion routines are well behind the current state of
    the Unicode specification: They don't recognize the existence of code
    points beyond plane 0 or of surrogate pairs in the UTF-16 encoding.

    The old wchar_t 16-bit type is retained because it's still used in
    lots of places. This shouldn't cause any new problems; if a
    conversion now results in an invalid 16-bit code then before it must
    have yielded an undefined code.

    Difficult-to-read names like "utf_mbstowcs" are replaced with more
    transparent names like "utf8s_to_utf16s" and the ordering of the
    parameters is rationalized (buffer lengths come immediate after the
    pointers they refer to, and the inputs precede the outputs).
    Fortunately the low-level conversion routines are used in only a few
    places; the interfaces to the higher-level uni2char and char2uni
    methods have been left unchanged.
