  • Big thanks go to Mathias Kolehmainen for reporting the bug, providing
    debug output and testing the patches I sent him to get it working.

    The fix was to stop calling ntfs_attr_set() at mount time as that causes
    balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() to be called which on systems with
    little memory actually tries to go and balance the dirty pages which tries
    to take the s_umount semaphore but because we are still in fill_super()
    across which the VFS holds s_umount for writing this results in a
    deadlock.

    We now do the dirty work by hand by submitting individual buffers. This
    has the annoying "feature" that mounting can take a few seconds if the
    journal is large as we have clear it all. One day someone should improve
    on this by deferring the journal clearing to a helper kernel thread so it
    can be done in the background but I don't have time for this at the moment
    and the current solution works fine so I am leaving it like this for now.

  • file operations ->write(), ->aio_write(), and ->writev() for regular
    files. This replaces the old use of generic_file_write(), et al and
    the address space operations ->prepare_write and ->commit_write.
    This means that both sparse and non-sparse (unencrypted and
    uncompressed) files can now be extended using the normal write(2)
    code path. There are two limitations at present and these are that
    we never create sparse files and that we only have limited support
    for highly fragmented files, i.e. ones whose data attribute is split
    across multiple extents. When such a case is encountered,
    EOPNOTSUPP is returned.

  • - Support journals ($LogFile) which have been modified by chkdsk. This
    means users can boot into Windows after we marked the volume dirty.
    The Windows boot will run chkdsk and then reboot. The user can then
    immediately boot into Linux rather than having to do a full Windows
    boot first before rebooting into Linux and we will recognize such a
    journal and empty it as it is clean by definition.
    - Support journals ($LogFile) with only one restart page as well as
    journals with two different restart pages. We sanity check both and
    either use the only sane one or the more recent one of the two in the
    case that both are valid.

  • 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!
