  • Prevent an ext4 filesystem from being mounted multiple times.
    A sequence number is stored on disk and is periodically updated (every 5
    seconds by default) by a mounted filesystem.
    At mount time, we now wait for s_mmp_update_interval seconds to make sure
    that the MMP sequence does not change.
    In case of failure, the nodename, bdevname and the time at which the MMP
    block was last updated is displayed.

  • The EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT exchanges the blocks between orig_fd and donor_fd,
    and then write the file data of orig_fd to donor_fd.
    ext4_mext_move_extent() is the main fucntion of ext4 online defrag,
    and this patch includes all functions related to ext4 online defrag.

  • To catch filesystem bugs or corruption which could lead to the
    filesystem getting severly damaged, this patch adds a facility for
    tracking all of the filesystem metadata blocks by contiguous regions
    in a red-black tree. This allows quick searching of the tree to
    locate extents which might overlap with filesystem metadata blocks.

    This facility is also used by the multi-block allocator to assure that
    it is not allocating blocks out of the system zone, as well as by the
    routines used when reading indirect blocks and extents information
    from disk to make sure their contents are valid.

  • On disk extents format:
    /*
    * this is extent on-disk structure
    * it's used at the bottom of the tree
    */
    struct ext3_extent {
    __le32 ee_block; /* first logical block extent covers */
    __le16 ee_len; /* number of blocks covered by extent */
    __le16 ee_start_hi; /* high 16 bits of physical block */
    __le32 ee_start; /* low 32 bigs of physical block */
    };

  • Start of the ext4 patch series. See Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt for
    details.

    This is a simple copy of the files in fs/ext3 to fs/ext4 and
    /usr/incude/linux/ext3* to /usr/include/ex4*
