ToDo/Notes:
- Find and fix bugs.
- The only places in the kernel where a file is resized are
- ntfs_file_write*() and ntfs_truncate() for both of which i_sem is
+ ntfs_file_write*() and ntfs_truncate() for both of which i_mutex is
held. Just have to be careful in read-/writepage and other helpers
- not running under i_sem that we play nice... Also need to be careful
+ not running under i_mutex that we play nice. Also need to be careful
with initialized_size extension in ntfs_file_write*() and writepage.
UPDATE: The only things that need to be checked are the compressed
write and the other attribute resize/write cases like index
inode having been discarded already. Whether this can actually ever
happen is unclear however so it is worth waiting until someone hits
the problem.
- - Enable the code for setting the NT4 compatibility flag when we start
- making NTFS 1.2 specific modifications.
+
+2.1.28 - Fix a deadlock.
+
+ - Fix deadlock in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_put_inode(). Thanks to Sergey
+ Vlasov for the report and detailed analysis of the deadlock. The fix
+ involved getting rid of ntfs_put_inode() altogether and hence NTFS no
+ longer has a ->put_inode super operation.
+
+2.1.27 - Various bug fixes and cleanups.
+
+ - Fix two compiler warnings on Alpha. Thanks to Andrew Morton for
+ reporting them.
+ - Fix an (innocent) off-by-one error in the runlist code.
+ - Fix a buggette in an "should be impossible" case handling where we
+ continued the attribute lookup loop instead of aborting it.
+ - Use buffer_migrate_page() for the ->migratepage function of all ntfs
+ address space operations.
+ - Fix comparison of $MFT and $MFTMirr to not bail out when there are
+ unused, invalid mft records which are the same in both $MFT and
+ $MFTMirr.
+ - Add support for sparse files which have a compression unit of 0.
+ - Remove all the make_bad_inode() calls. This should only be called
+ from read inode and new inode code paths.
+ - Limit name length in fs/ntfs/unistr.c::ntfs_nlstoucs() to maximum
+ allowed by NTFS, i.e. 255 Unicode characters, not including the
+ terminating NULL (which is not stored on disk).
+ - Improve comments on file attribute flags in fs/ntfs/layout.h.
+ - Fix a bug in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_read_locked_index_inode() where we
+ forgot to update a temporary variable so loading index inodes which
+ have an index allocation attribute failed.
+ - Add a missing call to flush_dcache_mft_record_page() in
+ fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_write_inode().
+ - Handle the recently introduced -ENAMETOOLONG return value from
+ fs/ntfs/unistr.c::ntfs_nlstoucs() in fs/ntfs/namei.c::ntfs_lookup().
+ - Semaphore to mutex conversion. (Ingo Molnar)
+
+2.1.26 - Minor bug fixes and updates.
+
+ - Fix a potential overflow in file.c where a cast to s64 was missing in
+ a left shift of a page index.
+ - The struct inode has had its i_sem semaphore changed to a mutex named
+ i_mutex.
+ - We have struct kmem_cache now so use it instead of the typedef
+ kmem_cache_t. (Pekka Enberg)
+ - Implement support for sector sizes above 512 bytes (up to the maximum
+ supported by NTFS which is 4096 bytes).
+ - Do more detailed reporting of why we cannot mount read-write by
+ special casing the VOLUME_MODIFIED_BY_CHKDSK flag.
+ - Miscellaneous updates to layout.h.
+ - Cope with attribute list attribute having invalid flags. Windows
+ copes with this and even chkdsk does not detect or fix this so we
+ have to cope with it, too. Thanks to Pawel Kot for reporting the
+ problem.
2.1.25 - (Almost) fully implement write(2) and truncate(2).
single one of them had an mst error. (Thanks to Ken MacFerrin for
the bug report.)
- Fix error handling in fs/ntfs/quota.c::ntfs_mark_quotas_out_of_date()
- where we failed to release i_sem on the $Quota/$Q attribute inode.
+ where we failed to release i_mutex on the $Quota/$Q attribute inode.
- Fix bug in handling of bad inodes in fs/ntfs/namei.c::ntfs_lookup().
- Add mapping of unmapped buffers to all remaining code paths, i.e.
fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_mst_block(), mft.c::ntfs_sync_mft_mirror(),
clusters. (Philipp Thomas)
- attrib.c::load_attribute_list(): Fix bug when initialized_size is a
multiple of the block_size but not the cluster size. (Szabolcs
- Szakacsits <szaka@sienet.hu>)
+ Szakacsits)
2.1.2 - Important bug fixes aleviating the hangs in statfs.
- Add handling for initialized_size != data_size in compressed files.
- Reduce function local stack usage from 0x3d4 bytes to just noise in
- fs/ntfs/upcase.c. (Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net>)
+ fs/ntfs/upcase.c. (Randy Dunlap)
- Remove compiler warnings for newer gcc.
- Pages are no longer kmapped by mm/filemap.c::generic_file_write()
around calls to ->{prepare,commit}_write. Adapt NTFS appropriately
the kernel. We probably want a kernel generic init_address_space()
function...
- Drop BKL from ntfs_readdir() after consultation with Al Viro. The
- only caller of ->readdir() is vfs_readdir() which holds i_sem during
- the call, and i_sem is sufficient protection against changes in the
- directory inode (including ->i_size).
+ only caller of ->readdir() is vfs_readdir() which holds i_mutex
+ during the call, and i_mutex is sufficient protection against changes
+ in the directory inode (including ->i_size).
- Use generic_file_llseek() for directories (as opposed to
- default_llseek()) as this downs i_sem instead of the BKL which is
+ default_llseek()) as this downs i_mutex instead of the BKL which is
what we now need for exclusion against ->f_pos changes considering we
no longer take the BKL in ntfs_readdir().
