  • 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.

  • 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.

  • e631ddba5   [JFFS2] Add erase block summary support (mount time improvement) ... Browse Code »

    The goal of summary is to speed up the mount time. Erase block summary (EBS)
    stores summary information at the end of every (closed) erase block. It is
    no longer necessary to scan all nodes separetly (and read all pages of them)
    just read this "small" summary, where every information is stored which is
    needed at mount time.

    This summary information is stored in a JFFS2_FEATURE_RWCOMPAT_DELETE. During
    the mount process if there is no summary info the orignal scan process will
    be executed. EBS works with NAND and NOR flashes, too.

    There is a user space tool called sumtool to generate this summary
    information for a JFFS2 image.

  • 2f82ce1eb   [JFFS2] Use a single config option for write buffer support ... Browse Code »

    This patch replaces the current CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_NOR_ECC
    and CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_DATAFLASH with a single configuration option -
    CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WRITEBUFFER.

    The only functional change of this patch is that the slower div/mod
    calculations for SECTOR_ADDR(), PAGE_DIV() and PAGE_MOD() are now always
    used when CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WRITEBUFFER is enabled.

  • 8f15fd55f   [JFFS2] Add support for JFFS2-on-Dataflash devices. ... Browse Code »

    For Dataflash, can_mark_obsolete = false and the NAND write buffering
    code (wbuf.c) is used.

    Since the DataFlash chip will automatically erase pages when writing,
    the cleanmarkers are not needed - so cleanmarker_oob = false and
    cleanmarker_size = 0

    DataFlash page-sizes are not a power of two (they're multiples of 528
    bytes). The SECTOR_ADDR macro (added in the previous core patch) is
    replaced with a (slower) div/mod version if CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_DATAFLASH is
    selected.

    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!
