ToDo/Notes:
- Find and fix bugs.
- - Checkpoint or disable the user space journal ($UsnJrnl).
- In between ntfs_prepare/commit_write, need exclusion between
simultaneous file extensions. This is given to us by holding i_sem
on the inode. The only places in the kernel when a file is resized
non-resident in fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_attr_can_be_non_resident().
- Add fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_attr_vcn_to_lcn_nolock() used by the new
write code.
+ - Fix bug in fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_find_vcn_nolock() where after
+ dropping the read lock and taking the write lock we were not checking
+ whether someone else did not already do the work we wanted to do.
+ - Rename fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_find_vcn_nolock() to
+ ntfs_attr_find_vcn_nolock() and update all callers.
+ - Add fs/ntfs/attrib.[hc]::ntfs_attr_make_non_resident().
+ - Fix sign of various error return values to be negative in
+ fs/ntfs/lcnalloc.c.
+ - Modify ->readpage and ->writepage (fs/ntfs/aops.c) so they detect and
+ handle the case where an attribute is converted from resident to
+ non-resident by a concurrent file write.
+ - Remove checks for NULL before calling kfree() since kfree() does the
+ checking itself. (Jesper Juhl)
+ - Some utilities modify the boot sector but do not update the checksum.
+ Thus, relax the checking in fs/ntfs/super.c::is_boot_sector_ntfs() to
+ only emit a warning when the checksum is incorrect rather than
+ refusing the mount. Thanks to Bernd Casimir for pointing this
+ problem out.
+ - Update attribute definition handling.
+ - Add NTFS_MAX_CLUSTER_SIZE and NTFS_MAX_PAGES_PER_CLUSTER constants.
+ - Use NTFS_MAX_CLUSTER_SIZE in super.c instead of hard coding 0x10000.
+ - Use MAX_BUF_PER_PAGE instead of variable sized array allocation for
+ better code generation and one less sparse warning in fs/ntfs/aops.c.
+ - Remove spurious void pointer casts from fs/ntfs/. (Pekka Enberg)
+ - Use C99 style structure initialization after memory allocation where
+ possible (fs/ntfs/{attrib.c,index.c,super.c}). Thanks to Al Viro and
+ Pekka Enberg.
+ - Stamp the transaction log ($UsnJrnl), aka user space journal, if it
+ is active on the volume and we are mounting read-write or remounting
+ from read-only to read-write.
+ - Fix a bug in address space operations error recovery code paths where
+ if the runlist was not mapped at all and a mapping error occured we
+ would leave the runlist locked on exit to the function so that the
+ next access to the same file would try to take the lock and deadlock.
+ - Detect the case when Windows has been suspended to disk on the volume
+ to be mounted and if this is the case do not allow (re)mounting
+ read-write. This is done by parsing hiberfil.sys if present.
2.1.22 - Many bug and race fixes and error handling improvements.
