  • 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.

  • On some boxes there exist both RSDT and XSDT table. But unfortunately
    sometimes there exists the following error when XSDT table is used:
    a. 32/64X address mismatch
    b. The 32/64X FACS address mismatch

    In such case the boot option of "acpi=rsdt" is provided so that
    RSDT is tried instead of XSDT table when the system can't work well.

  • Add a basic DocBook manual for the regulator API. This is much more
    skeletal than the existing text documentation, the main benefit is to
    provide a skeleton for automatic generation of a manual based on the
    kerneldoc for the API.

    Since large portions of the text are lifted from the existing text format
    documentation written by Liam Girdwood much of the credit belongs to
    him.

  • Clean up the sysfs interface to regulators by only exposing the
    attributes that can be properly displayed. For example: when a
    particular regulator method is needed to display the value, only
    create that attribute when that method exists.

    This cleaned-up interface is much more comprehensible. Most
    regulators only support a subset of the possible methods, so
    often more than half the attributes would be meaningless. Many
    "not defined" values are no longer necessary. (But handling
    of out-of-range values still looks a bit iffy.)

    Documentation is updated to reflect that few of the attributes
    are *always* present, and to briefly explain why a regulator may
    not have a given attribute.

    This adds object code, about a dozen bytes more than was removed
    by the preceding patch, but saves a bunch of per-regulator data
    associated with the now-removed attributes. So there's a net
    reduction in memory footprint.
