• 0cfc11ed4   [PATCH] fix xip sparse file handling in ext2 ... Browse Code »

  Oliver Paukstadt from our test department is testing the xip patches in
  Linus' git-tree. He found a problem that shows when reading a file that
  contains sparse blocks (holes) on a -o xip mounted ext2 filesystem: the
  BUG_ON() in fs/ext2/xip.c:40 triggers where it should not. The problem was
  introduced by a cleanup in my previous patch, this patch fixes it.

• afa597ba2   [PATCH] execute-in-place fixes ... Browse Code »

  This patch includes feedback from Andrew and Christoph. Thanks for
  taking time to review.

  Use of empty_zero_page was eliminated to fix compilation for architectures
  that don't have it.

  This patch removes setting pages up-to-date in ext2_get_xip_page and all
  bug checks to verify that the page is indeed up to date. Setting the page
  state on mapping to userland is bogus. None of the code patchs involved
  with these pages in mm cares about the page state.

  still on my ToDo list: identify a place outside second extended where
  __inode_direct_access should reside

  These are the ext2 related parts. Ext2 now uses the xip_* file operations
  along with the get_xip_page aop when mounted with -o xip.
