  • c00c310ea   [JFFS2] Tidy up licensing/copyright boilerplate. ... Browse Code »

    In particular, remove the bit in the LICENCE file about contacting
    Red Hat for alternative arrangements. Their errant IS department broke
    that arrangement a long time ago -- the policy of collecting copyright
    assignments from contributors came to an end when the plug was pulled on
    the servers hosting the project, without notice or reason.

    We do still dual-license it for use with eCos, with the GPL+exception
    licence approved by the FSF as being GPL-compatible. It's just that nobody
    has the right to license it differently.

  • 92e1d5be9   [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 2 ... Browse Code »

    Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
    moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
    dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
    these shared resources.

  • aa98d7cf5   [JFFS2][XATTR] XATTR support on JFFS2 (version. 5) ... Browse Code »

    This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and
    SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5).

    There are some significant differences from previous version posted
    at last December.
    The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support.
    Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize
    xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype.

    In addition, some bugs are fixed.
    - A potential race condition was fixed.
    - Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed.
    - A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed.

    The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion
    mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed
    and updated if necessary.
    Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to
    load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.

  • 2b79adcca   [JFFS2] Use f->target instead of f->dents for symlink target ... Browse Code »

    JFFS2 uses f->dents to store the pointer to the symlink target string (in case
    the inode is symlink). This is somewhat ugly to use the same field for
    different reasons. Introduce distinct field f->target for this purpose.
    Note, f->fragtree, f->dents, f->target may probably be put in a union.

  • 008b150a3   [PATCH] Fix up symlink function pointers ... Browse Code »

    This fixes up the symlink functions for the calling convention change:

    * afs, autofs4, befs, devfs, freevxfs, jffs2, jfs, ncpfs, procfs,
    smbfs, sysvfs, ufs, xfs - prototype change for ->follow_link()
    * befs, smbfs, xfs - same for ->put_link()

  • 2fb1e3086   [PATCH] jffs2: fix symlink error handling ... Browse Code »

    The current calling conventions for ->follow_link() are already fairly
    complex.

    What we have is
    1) you can return -error; then you must release nameidata yourself
    and ->put_link() will _not_ be called.
    2) you can do nd_set_link(nd, ERR_PTR(-error)) and return 0
    3) you can do nd_set_link(nd, path) and return 0
    4) you can return 0 (after having moved nameidata yourself)

    jffs2 follow_link() is broken - it has an exit where it returns
    -EIO and leaks nameidata.

    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!
